the name, have an instructive aversion,
unconquerable by anything less I'M
reasonable than force, 10 baths and
even 70 thorough washing of their
lands and faces. They consider these
rites unnecessary and uncomfortable,
resent them as grotesque waste of boy
hood ; precious time and avoid the per-
formance of them as often and as long
as they can. This popularity is easily
enough applicable on the theory that
the child passes through the develop
mental stages of his race and while in
the savage or barbarian stage has the
eptitudes and repugnances OF savages
and barbarians. But quite as much as
the boy hates baths he loves 10 90 in

The discovery Of platinum was long
thought TO be quite modern. In the
fist half Of the sixteenth century it
was noticed that gold ore from the
Spanish mines in Darien sometimes
included grains Of a white metal which
possessed the qualities of what are
called the noble metals, but there were
no existing records TO throw light upon
the matter. As the Spaniards prohib-
tied its export, il was another hun
dred years before the metal began to
ind its way into Europe. and it was
not till about 1850 that its properties
were really investigated. In 1901 NJ

a feature in bird travels is the de-
parture south Of the old and young
cuckoos AT a different time. The old
cuckoos set out first, leaving the young
birds Of the year to follow. The adult

of imagination-so much dislike the
fuss and anxiety of travelling en-
famiile that they take care TO 20 on

Bed sores are sores that form on

most in the position taken up by the
bed occupant As a rule they never
form unless the sufferer is confined to
one position. When set up they are
most distressing. Whisky or brandy
used as a lotion to the healthy skin
once daily will prevent them. When
there are commencing sores they should
be treated with white of egg mixed
