THE CHILD AND THE BUTTERFLY

20, Butterfly, how do you, pray.
Your wings so p~rettily array?
Where do you find the paints from which
To mix your colors warm and rich?''
The butterfly, IN answer, said:
The roses lend me pink and red,
The violets their deepest blue,
And every flower its chosen hue.
MY palette Is a rose-leaf fair,
My brush is formed of maiden-hair,
And dew-drops shining In the grass
Serve nicely for my looking-glass."

tell your friends that the puzzle Is to
release the string with the two small
err hearts on 1t from the larger one
without force or undolng knots.
The solution is as follows:
Double the strip In the center OF
the large heart and fold 1t SO that 1t
will pass through the circle. This will
make plenty of room to pass one OF
the small hearts through.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1906-10-25

To make this very amusing puzzle,
cut the big heart out of heavy pliable
paper and use stiff cardboard for the
smaller ones. Cut two strips and a
circle into the big heart, as shown In
the picture, pass a string through, as
shown also, and tie the ends of the
string to the smaller hearts.

P0LlTENESS IN HAVANA.
To Render Courtesy Gives Keen
Pleasure to the Cuban.

Havana is continuous perform
ance. Picturesque groups of natives,
queer looking wheeled vehicles, gro
tcsque scenes and unusual sounds
greet one at every corner. Havana
is old, and it looks every day of its
age. from the stone tagging on the
streets to the tile roofs oyerhanging
them. In fact, except that it is now
the clcanest city in the world, where
it bore the reputation of being the
dirtiest, it looks just as it must
have looked hundred years ago.
About every two squares are kiosks,
or fruit stands, whore green cocoa.
nuts are piled up high and where
native guanabana. or "soursop' lem
onadc, is dispensed at few centi

made from the juice of the pineap.
pie, is also prepared in second.
These kiosks are also virtual in.

cater to this business, but because
so many strangers stand on the cor
ncrs and ask questions. The native

To the New Yorker. accustomed to

is genuine novelty as well as q
pleasure to board a car in Havana
and ask the conductor to call out
when he reaches certain street. To

the Cuban. Even the blacks are

SLEEP OF HIbERNATlON.
How II Differs Fror1 Repose-shoek
That Causes Death.

The sleep of Information is very
different matter from the sleep Of
reposc. If it be complete respira-
ton can no longer be detected. A
torpid bat when disturbed will heave
sigh or two and, being left alone,
again to oil appearances ceases to
breathe.

ture slightly higher than his own,

As respiration diminishes the irri-
liability Of the muscles of the heart
increases and thus. without the
stimulus of oxygen, although much
more slowly, the heart continues 10
beat. In the absence of the fresh
air drawn into the lungs in times a

EXCESSIVE BRIGHTNESS.
Come Of the Evil Effects Of Too Much
Suniiuht,

1t is a common belief, well sup
ported by facts, that light is a pow
erful agent in the cure of many dis
eases and in the destruction Of the
injurious bacteria that prey upon
the animal body. Experiments have
shown that these little organisms
not only will not multiply when ex-
posed to sunlight, but are even rap
idly destroyed. Experience has
taught us that disease turks in dark
corners and that light rooms are az
necessary to health a good ventila-
ton, but we are only beginning to
recognize that the sun is not alto.
gether good for us. Its light must
be used in moderation, for in excess
it may do harm.
OF course every one knows that
prolonged exposure to the powerful
rays of the summer sun may bring
on a sunstroke, but it is fact not
so well known that excessive light,
even without direct exposure, may
in time seriously impair health.
Light kills bacteria by destroy.
ing their substance, the protoplasin
which constitutes the main portion
Of every living cell, whether animal
or vegetable. But this effect is e,-
crtcd upon the protoplasm of our
own cells as well as upon that OF
the bacteria, the only difference be-
ing that the protoplasm of the sin
gle cell, which is all there is of Q
bacterium, is more exposed than
that Of the cells of our bodies an !
so is acted upon more promptly.
Animals and plants are protected
against the injurious effects of light
by their color, and il is a general
rule that those plants and animals,
including man, which live in the
tropics and in other regions where
the sun shines brightest are the
darkest in color, while those of the
cloudy north are blonds for the
most part. People of the north who
60 to the south to live soon begin 10
feel the effects Of the increased
light. At first this acts as a stim-
ulant. The newcomer feels better,
the vital functions are quickened,
there is nothing but praise for the
wonderful climate and contempt for
the indolcnt natives. But in year
or two change comes. The immi-
grant loses tone. becomes irritable
and works less and less. The light
is working on his protoplasm, which
is not protected by so thick u layer
OF pigment as that which the native
has. His nerves give out, and un-
less he adopts the light stunning
habits of those about him he must
lice north or die.
a medical writer has recently ad-
yanced the theory that Americap
nervousness is due TO the excess of |
light here rs compared to the cloud
mess Of the north Of Europe. lfl
this is so, the logical treatment Of
NERVES would be- rest in a dark
ened but well ventilated room and |
not exercise in the open air, as l
generally advised. - Youths Com

LONDOh'S GREAT PROBLEM.

Physical ~DeHeneracy that Has Come
About Through Poverty.
The following memorable scene is de-
scribed in Everybody's:
"At Millbank London, on the Middle
sex side Of the Thames, half a mile
above the Parliament buildings, Is q
group of substantial fat-houses built
and owned by The London county
Gil. The architecture is good, air and
light are provided for, the courts be-
tween are paved with asphalt, every
thing is clean, well-ordered, quiet. emf
nently respectable. In front is a little
strip of park where the children play.
On Sunday, July 2, at moor there came
through one Of the asphalt courts a
young man, a little boy. and a young
woman carrying a baby. They were
dreadful to look upon, all Of them
clothed in dropping rags, emaciated,
tnllowy and u%nclean. The oma had
a vacant face and next to 10 chin the
man had sloping shoulders, higher
than the other, and stopped. The boy
reproduced and exaggerated the physi-
cal defects Of the man and the woman.
The man slowly led the way down the
court, singing. ! have never known q
thing more grotesque and horrible. lie
was singing Rock of Ages not to the
inappropriate mir of Abt's to which 1t is
usually sung In America, but to the tune
used in the churches Of England. 1t
was not that his voice was feeble, or
waillng, or pathetic. What struck ev-
cry attentive listener with a kind OF
horror was that 1t was not the voice of
q human being.
They walked very slowly down the
court and looked up at the windows.
Two or three were opened and some
halfpence were thrown out, perhaps
five. And thus, singing in this fright
full fashion, they took their rags and
their money out Of sight.
.They were the problem Of London,
those four, and they stood before the
hest answer that London has yet been
able to make"

terraces arranged in steps on the side
off, mountain. The lowest Of the three,
approached by q gateway, consists Of
a three-sided stoa, or portico, about 100
yards long by 65 broad. The eastern
side of the portico had adjacent to 1t
an extensive series of baths, and n vast
number Of earthenware pipes brought
water to the baths and fountains, prob
ably from the spring of Hippocrates.
Only the foundations Of all these build
ings exist, but architectural fragments
render 1t not difficult to reconstruct in
Imagination the original structures. The
accompanying illustrations, reproduced
from the Illustrated London News, give
an idea of what the celebrated temple
looked like.
Aesculapius, from whom the temple
takes Its name, appears in Homer as
the "blameless physician" Of human
origin; In the later Greek legends he
has, however, become the god Of the
healing arts The most common ac-
count makes him the son Of Apollo and
Coronis. He was brought up by Chiron.
and instructed in the healing art, In
which he soon surpassed his teacher,
