Babies Never Get sen.ick.

Babies never get seasick. 1 have
carried thousands of them in my time,'
said an American line steward, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Record, "and
In rough weather l have seen their IA
theirs, mothers, brothers and sisters
keel over like soldiers before cannon
ball; but not so with the babies.
Whether it be rough or smooth at
sea, baby is always an excellent
sailor-rosy, jolly and with the appe-
tite of a horse. Do you know the ex-
planation of this singular fact? 1t is
as simple as the fact is strange Ba-
bies don't get seasick because they are
accustomed to the rocking of the era
die. That movement is much like the
rocking of ship. A baby aboard ship,
therefore, is merely Il baby in an I'M
usually big cradle, and there is nothing
odd to him about the rocking, for it is
what he has been accustomed to all
his life"

LAY UP YOUR TREASURES.
No Man Should Spend the whole OF
HIS Income.

No Man Should Spend the Whole of
HIS Income.
Is any one too poor to save? is an i'm
portant problem which the readers Of
a London daily are at present attempt
ing to solve. The question is not by
any means a new one. 1t is one which
has troubled past generations, just as,
in all probability. it will affect the gen
erations yet to come. We cannot say
that this latest discussion of the sub
ject Is throwing much, If any, fresh
light upon 1t.
In the first place, there is diversity
of opinion regarding the term poor" +"
One man, who derives an income Of
$3.50 year from private property,
fancies he comes under the category,
while another does not consider any
one poor who has an income of $500 a
year, says a writer In Leslie's Weekly.
1t is manifestly impossible to fix any
limit In a matter like this. Very much
depends upon the locality and the con-
ditions and surroundings OF the indi-
vidual. An income that would be
duply SuuCIeuL " AubuLc u u
comfortable home excellent social ad-
vantages and good living in a coun-
try village would mean many priva-
tions and sore discomforts in any large
city.
On the whole, however. we are in
clined to believe that Max ORelrs
views on the point under discussion
come nearer the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have seen.
81 do not care" he says, "how small
the income of man is, he should never
spend the whole Of 1t, especially If he
has a wife and children. He should
at least save enough to pay every year
the premium on good life policy. No
man Is worthy Of the name who does
not do this, at least, at the price Of
whatever privations he has to submit
to. Some pleasure may be derived
from high living. but certainly no hap
piness"

MENTAL TENSION.
Hard to Realize the Difficulty OF
Keeping Natural Pose.

We never know how active our i'm
aginations can be till we let them out
or till they get the better of us for
some reason. a major in the army
recently admitted that when he went
into action for the first time he was so
scared that he did not know which
way was north, but he had an over
whelming desire to reach it, wherever
1t was. Yet, after six or eight battles
and after being worried couple of
times he regarded battles very much
as people hereabout regard the evening
fight at the Manhattan end of the
bridge, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Cases of wanting to run when bullets
fly are by no means difficult to find.
But a young soldier in Brooklyn con-
fesses to a more queer experience. His
regiment was in camp and had been
ordered out for dress parade, as usual.
When lined up for inspection, every
man as stiff as a ramrod and not a
white glove moving, this young man,
lieutenant, began to ask himself:
Suppose | should slip, or anything, to
break the quiet? Suppose 1 should
fallY' The idea of falling kept grow
ing in his mind till before the inspec
tion was over and the regiment was
allowed to use It's feet once more he
could hardly keep on his legs and was
in a great sweat of agony from the
dread of tumbling over and making an
exhibition of himself.
xtrh Iox trio 10 q
realize how hard it is to stand abso-
lutely still and yet appear interested
and at ease. Artists models succeed
at it, especially those in Italy, and will
hold pose not too difficult for an hour
Actors, when they group about the man
in the center of the stage, who is en-
joying all the limelight-and how they
hate them for it-are required to keep
still, so as not to distract attention from
the great mans sayings and motions,
and because they must group in such a
way as to form a picture and keep II
till it can be realized by the eyes in
front. But this enforced statuesQue-
ness is hard ON the supes. They are
not used to it. When they are put un-
der the strain, and when as Roman
warriors they must stand at the back
without winking while Brutus or Vir-
ginius or some other ponderous person
unbosoms himself respecting love or
politics. they are in small torture.
One such last season who could no Ion
ger abide it to listen to the soliloquy by
the head man pitched over on his face
and had to be lugged out by the arms
to the spelling of the scene.

LOST HIS NERVE.
why 1t Was That Big Pete Failed to
Hit the Sheriff.

There were thirty men in the White
Wolf saloon when the sheriff of Silver
county sauntered in to arrest big Pete
Thompson for murder. Pete was play
ing hand in a game of poker, and
after nodding to him the sheriff stood
up at the bar and called for a drink
His back was scarcely turned when
Pete laid down his cards, pulled his
gun and fired six shots as fast as his
finger could pull the trigger. The sheriff
never moved. When the smoke had
rolled out of the open door and we
could see, the sheriff stood in the same
position and wore the same smile. One
bullet had burned his cheek; second
had grazed his ear; a third had cut
through his shirt collar under the left
ear. Big Pete was dead shot, and
yet he had missed his man at fifteen
feet
SCOT through, Peter" asked the sher-
iff.. breaking silence that was posi-
lively painful.
And you-you are not heeledp
gasped Pete as his arm sunk slowly
down.
"No; come on"
"You didn't bring your guns?'
"No; if you are through shooting,
We'll 60"
Pete laid his two guns down on the
table before him and walked to the
door and out into the street. His horse
was tied to a post block away. He
reached the horse, mounted and then
headed down the long street after the
sheriff, who was giving him not the
slightest attention. In five minutes the
pair were out of sight.
What allied Peter was asked of
the barkeeper, who had come to the
door of the saloon
Lost his nerve" he brusquely re-
Piled
How do you mean?"
"Why, the sheriff coming without a
gun and standing there to be shot at
took all his sand away and made a wo-
man of him."
Suppose the sheriff had had q gum"
The man jerked his head toward the
field wherein fifteen or twenty victims
h2d been buried and said:
He'd "a bin over thar"
"And will big Pete get clearT
Likely; but he'll have to leave here.
The boys have already put him down

Rainwater Good if You Like IT.

when man gets used to drinking
rainwater," said Il New Orleans man to
the Washington Post, there is no other
water in the world that tastes so good.
Most of the people in New Orleans
have cisterns in their yards which hold
an abundant supply of water caught
from the clouds, the purest and best
in the world, according to my notion.
The winter rainfall alone is used, the
summer catch not being desirable. 1t
is somewhat curious that in northern
ATTITUDES the cistern water does not
keep wholesome and sweet as it does
in our country"
