COLLEGE GIRL AS MOTHER
Collection of Baby Pictures Shows Conclusive Evidence of
 Fitness.

An instructor at Vassar college has an odd and interesting collection of photo graphs-the photographs of the babies of young women who are college gradu- ates, says an exchange, are strong and beautiful. They number over 300. The instructor said of them:
 T began to collect pictures of ths children of female A. B.'s and A. M. z because had heard SO much talk about the higher education uniting woman for her natural sphere, and SO on.
 My collection proves that the high CT education makes mothers of an ex- cellece hitherto unknown. Highly edu- cated women don't weaken themselves with tight corsets, with overmuch danc- ing and card playing. They are athletic and strong. Their bodies as well as their minds are developed.
 They enter upon the duties of moth erhood with a unique courage and wis dom and strength. and the result is that their babies are the biggest, strongest, handsomest little creatures" 7 She, pointed toward the 300 photo graphs.
 But just look at those pictures, she cried. Just look at them"

Bit of Westmoreland.

The Westmoreland hills are the re- mains of an infinitely older world giants decayed, but of great race and ancestry; they have the finish, the delicate or noble loveliness-one might almost say the manner-that comes of long and gentle companionship with those chief forces that make for nat ural beauty-with air ana water, with temperate suns and too abundant rains. Beside them the Alps are in- human; the Apennpes, mere forest grown heaps-mountains in the mak- ing; while all that Scotland gains from the easy enyeloping glory of it's heath CT, Westmoreland, which is almost heatherless, must owe to an infinitude of fine strokes, tints, curves and group ings, to touches of magic and to lines of grace, yet never losing the wild energy of precipice and rock that be- longs of right to mountain world Century.

V .sf . SOFT-EYED, MEN OF PACIFIC
s2 , Winning and Remark
 able Optics.

A woman traveller who lately visited the Loochoo islands, in the Pacific, de- scribes her first impressions in the North China Herald. The first thing that struck her on landing was the fact that the coolies who tumbled lazily aboard her ship were "very much addict ed to the use of hats, and very little to the use of any other clothing Sh& continues: q can best describe the hats by an exclamation of one of oul party, What beautiful waste paper basAets they'd make!' These hats were fastened on with. loops of thick, brown, hairy palm rope, through which were passed cotton strings tied under the chin. Every mans face was ornament ed with a thin, brownish black beard and mustache, and it was often hard to tell where the beard left off and the hairy rope began. Wisps of unkempt hair also struggled about the neck, giv- ing to the man the look of some savage creature. Taking in these details, my eyes came at last to the eyes of these seemingly wild savages, and To! looked into large, soft, black eyes, so wide apart, like those of the ruminating animals, And in their depths lurked a good-natured smile, just waiting to an swer one from me. I never got used to the incongruous effect of those gentle eyes and that fierce beard on each other"

CAPTURING THE WILD DJcA
Clever Scheme of the Chinese Is Sue cessful Among the Wary
 Water Fowl.

A full-grown wild duck fb orc of the most wary of all wild creatures. A va terman may be working all day loag with shovel and pickax, says the authos of Bird Life and Lore" barely stones throw from large flock of widgeon aAl wild ducks, and they will not notice nin, for they know that he means them snA harm. But let a sportsman enter tho meadows and hide his gun ever so care- fully, and make himself ever SO small. 1t is ten to. one that they will fiss in . cloud when he is some four ,gunshctc away from them, and take themselves off to place of greater safety.
 There is one, method of taking will ducks in considerable numbers, pra1 ticed in China and in. some other cpun- tries, which is 90 amusing and so little known as to deserve notice. f
 The natives take care that 8 large number of. big calabashes, or gourds, should always be left floating on the wa ter frecuented by the birds, till they get to regard them as part and parcel of their resorts. The duck-hunter chooses his time, and, putting one of the calabashes, with holes cut for his mouth and eyes, upon his head, he wades through the lake. taking care to keep the whole of his body we'll be- heath the surface. He cautiously ap- breaches the unsuspecting wild fowl, and. catching one of them by the leg. pulls him, with sudden jerk, beneath the water, causing hardly more commo- tion of the surface than the duck itself often makes when it dives, or plashes, or plunges for its food. He wrings it's neck under the water and fastens 1t to his belt Then he deals with another and another in the same fashion, till he makes his retreat, equally unnoticed, with whole girdleful of captured wild ducks round his waist.

SPEAKING WITH EMPHASIS.
Caisthenics Accompany the Words of Neapolitans When Dis
 cussing Weather.

Give Neapolitan a pair of dumb bells and ask him if he thinks it is like- ly to rain, and before his answer is finished he will have taken enough healthful exercise to last him all day." Once, says the London Clarion, trav- eler sat with a friend in cafe at Naples. Near them were two Italians engaged in conversation. The younger of the two seemed much excited.
 With his hands he made reaching and clingfng motions, as if climbing. Then he seemed to be groping for cherries in the air. as he reached right and left above his head. Next, without slacken- ing his conversation he put the thumb and forefnger of his left hand together, and holding them beforJ his eyes, went through the careful movements of one threading a small needle, and all the time he talked.
 Suddenly his manner changed. He made overland motions. as if throwing something. Then he apparently initiated a swimmer, and immediately afterward described several circles with his left hand giving the impression of rapid ly revolving wheel.
 Finally he leaned forward, and with his right hand acted the part of per- son endeavoring to put key into key hole.
 The traveller was overcome by curios- ity. He turned to his friend, who un- derstood Italian, and asked him what the plot of the story was.
 "Oh, nothing" replied the other. They're chatting about the weather" !"

THE JEWISH PHYSICIAN.
Members of the Medical Profession
 in History Who Belonged to That Race. ll

. An interesting survey Of Jews as members of our profession is to be ob- tained from a little work entitled "Judische Aerzte und ihr Einfluss auf Gas Judentum," which, says the Med- ical Record, has been issued by Dr. Simon Scherbel. One of the most prominent of the earlier personages mentioned is Chasdai, who became a minister under the Calf Abdul-Rah- man H., and did much to establish the position of the Jews among the Moslems in Spain during the tenth cen tury, as well as to foster the study of the Talmud in that country. JehudA Halevi who lived 100 years later, was a busy physician who was also the author of distinguished practical and philosophical works. The great Maimonides of Cordova is included among the list of physicians by the author who says that he created what is almost new Talmud, and alleges that Richard Occur de Leon wished to make him his court physician, in spite of the edicts of Popes Eugenius, Nich- olas and CalixtuS that Christians should not employ Jewish physicians.
 In Spain many years before they were practically the only practitioners of medicine. Somewhat later Pope Alex ander VI had as personal physician q Jew, Bonet de Lates, who subsequently became attached to the court of Louis x. The edict against Jewish physi- clans was finally raised by Sixtus w., largely at the instigation of two then celebrated physicians, David de Pomis and Ella, Montalto. In the latter part of the eighteenth century Mendels- sohn's efforts in behalf of his con- ratriots were ably seconded by his friend, the physician Marcus Herz, who contributed much toward the elevation of the Jews in Germany. In still more recent time Aschsr, Steinheim. Erter and Johann Jacoby have been prominent, and the author closes his enumeration with the widely known names of strassmann. Neumann.

 NEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
HMusher" Will Be There the First When Gold Stampede
 Is Started.

There is a popular belief in the ex. treme northwest that the north pole will be discovered by a musher, and not by any scientific polar expedition, says the Sunset Magazine. This belief is based on the conviction that ]. a gold stampede will eventually be started toward north latitude. 90 degrees, and that the. mushers will rush in wher1 arctic explorers have feared to tread. So completely unknown to fame Is this newcomer in the race for the pole thaA to the majority of people the name sug. tgests nothing but cereal breakfast food. , Gilbert Parkera the. Aneysaist, whs finds his most congsnial thsme h French Canadian life, has made his read. CTS familiar with t'Marche-teen!" the cry with which drivers of dog teams urge forward their panting animals. French Canadian trappers were among the earliest white men in the far north west, and American prospectors on the Yukon soon learned to goad their dogs on with the same cry, without, however, understanding the French, which, In their mouths, was rapidly corrupted to 'Muchon!" to this day an Alaska dog drivers equivalent for Gee up!"
 Dog drivers generally rush with the team and therefore from "Mush-on" has come the noun. musher, used all over Alaska and the Yukon territory to des- ignate trailsman. The musher is gen. orally prospector, stampeder and trails man allrolled into one, and Alaska trails are such uncertain quantities that hs has frequently to make his own prece- dents over newly frozen sea and track less snow. The musher achieves most of his stampeding to new gold fields dur ing the arctic winter, for then the rigid sea becomes highway and mighty rivers need no bridging.

COLLEGE GIRLS GROW FAT
Soon After Entering the "Freshiss* They Begin to Acquire
 Plumpness.

"In couple of months from now, |" said woman who was matron at 2 women's college for several years, there will be . food of letters from girl freshmen to their mothers, all containing one complaint: Tin grow ing So fat that my clothes won't 1t me- And the mothers will worry and fret. and wardrobes will be sent home to be let out, ,s ss
 Freshmen at the women's college always grow yeryss plump, and they astonish their friends and: relatives when they go home on their frst xaca- ton by the amount of flesh they have put on. And 1t is all due, I believe, to the healthy, normal life that . girl leads It college.
 The food is always palatable, nour- ishing, and of the best, and even; the most nnickys maiden learns to x eat everything. I have seen girls who entered college with the idea that they could get nothing but the white meat of Chicken and lemon ice. contentedly eating fried veal, and onions a few weeks later.
 And these meals are always served at regular time, and with plenty of lively conversation to make them digest easily. Let me say, right here. too, that the popular notion that col lege girls have midnight spreads of ;ndigestibles is wrong one. Such things belong to boarding school, but not to women's college.
 "Thsn there are regular hours for retiring. Lights must be out at ter o'clock, and that means eight hour of good, healthful sleep. The out door life also contributes to the plump ness of the girls.
 College girls stay indoors only when they have to, and plenty of fresh ar makes thaln strong aad muscular. The gymnasium is another factor. It's purposes is to develop a girl physical ly, and each freshman h examined that she may get the exercise she most needs. z1t
 Under all these conditions the freshmen rapidly grow plump and rosy and this plumpness they rarely lose during their college course. Even the thinnest girl finds she can wear decollete evening gown after she has heen at college three; months, and the fat girls find their superfluous flesh turning into hard, firm muscle.
 And one thing more. College girls are always happy, and every woman grows fat when she is happy"

RAvACEs OF THE SOUVENIR
What Was Once a Harmless Fad Has Become Almost . Univer-
 sal Mania.

The vogue of the illustrated souvenir postal card has assumed the dimensions of literary peril. What was once . harmless fad confined to more or less ec- centric visitors in out-of-the-way placea has become all but universal mania. says the New York Post. The Boston post office reports handling 25,000 of these yellow imps in a single day. The so-called comic valentine once tainted the postman's bag. It's influence, how ever, lasted but for day, while the sou- venir. postal card ceaseth not day nor night to cry for destroyer.
 From the point of view of growing popularity these postal cards but evi. dence anew the danger with which modern mechanism is continually en- composing the other handicraft arts. The printed book has driven out illus trated missal. "The quarter-sawed oak' of Kalamazoo has displaced Chippen. dale and Sheraton. And at last the illus trated postal, with cheap ready-made sentiment and chromo Autograph threatens the letter of friendship, travel and description. The residuary field of the epistolary art was long supposed to be safe from the inroads of the printing press. Political intelligence such as fills Horace Walpole's six stout vol- umes of private letters has for over Q century been disseminated in the news papers. Scientific news has long since found similar media of publicity. But the intimate unbosoming of friend to friend at a distance has held at bayy all the devices of modern machinery unti- the advent of this substitute for real letter.
