City Journalism in the Country

TN referring to the troubles of the country
i editor. William Allen White tells of the sad
case of an editor of paper in small town of
Kansas who saw no reason why the successful
methods of the city man should not, in small
way. be applied to the conduct of newspaper
in country town.
Firmly possessed of the notion that celebrity
in gathering news was the chief element Of
success, this country editor frequently found
that his correspondents were. not so accurate
as they were speedy in forwarding their
news" Consequently on more than one oc-
casion it became necessary to insert in the
paper an item something like this:
Last Monday we gave the interesting de-
tails of devastating fire in the town of Mulbey-
vile. with the number and the names of the
victims. We now desire to correct few in
accuracies of the kind that will invariably
find their way into the first reports of such
catastrophes.
There were no casualties: for the fire was
practically checked before it could do much
damage.
I'VE should add that, as a matter of fact,
the conaagration did not occur in Mulbeyville,
but in the neighboring town of Talbot"

A Boy and a Man
He was boy: but he loved girl,
And he worshiped her all of day
A week indeed. and perhaps month
Then it ended in this sad way:
He was eleven and she eighteen;
She f1attered the boy, for whim.
Then married man. The boy. in tears,
Learned bitterly in his tender years
That she was too old for him.
He was man: but he loved a girl.
And he gave her the wealth of his life.
His honor. his soul. he laid at her feet.
And she promised to be his wife
Her years were twenty, and his two score
And love laughed over the brim.
Then came youths song, and the man. in tears
Learned bitterly in his ripened years
That she was too young for him.

Growth of Finger Nails

THE growth of the average finger nail is
L computed to be one-thirty-second of an
inch a week, or little more than an inch and
a half year. Imagine the care taken by the
aristocratic Chinese in cultivating their finger
nails. which often grow to be six or eight inches
long. Just think of letting your finger nails
grow for eight years without cutting them!
The finger nails are said to grow faster in
the summer than in the winter. The nail on
the middle finger grows faster than any of the
other nails, and that on the thumb grows
slowest. 1t is also said that the nails on the
right hand grow faster than those on the left
hand.
According to the rate of growth stated, the
average time taken for each finger nail to grow
its full length is about four and half months,
and at this rate man seventy years old would
have renewed his nails one hundred and eighty
six times. Taking the length of each nail as
half an inch, he would have grown seven feet
nine inches of nail on each finger, and on all
his fingers and thumbs an aggregate length
of seventy-seven and half feet.

Things to Know About the Care of the Body

A SCIENCE comes into the

reduced to rules based upon
reason. The bath, which TO many is on
y a question Of soap and water, is in
reality q scientific process to which
careful thought should be given.
Fos things are valuable in the bath:
Fist and foremost, IL should be a
matter Of physical exercise. In fact, in
the life o. many who are busily en-
gagged il is the only exercise that can
always be relied upon, because affairs
may consume the after portion of the
day and prevent, for some reason, the
proper taking of exercise. Therefore the
bath should be looked 10, first, as a
preliminary "setting-up" exercise of the
day, almost sufficient in itself 10 in
sure health.
Only secondarily is it a cleansing proc
ess. The method here suggested in
