when One Il Choking.

Raising the left arm as high as you
can will relieve choking much more
rapidly than being thumped on the
back" said one of the resident physi-
clans of local hospital. This should
be more generally known. for often a
person gets choked while eating when
there is no one near to thump him or
her. Very frequently at meals and
when they are at play children get
choked while eating, and the custom
airy manner of relieving them is to
slap them sharply on the back. The
effect of this is to set the obstruction
free. so that it can be swallowed. The
same thing can be brought about by
raising the left hand of the child as
high as possible, and the relief comes
much more rapidly. In happenings of
this kind there should be no alarm, for
if Il child sees that older persons or
parents get excited it is very liable to
become 50 also The best thing is to
tell the child TO raise its left arm, and
Immediately the obstruction passes
down the throat" Philadelphia Rec

Tax Collector.
Emile Goule.u. Il celebrated charac-

There is story of him and Il GER

with the faithfuluesi With which the
historic Lttl, llmb attached itself to
the historic little Mary Goudeau and
the cog, in fact We're never separated.

not paid HI; uucs for the inferior

He approached him, therefore, in as
friendly Il spirit as possible, being, in
deed, an OIL ! acquaintance, and said,
IN GoUGeau | must ask you TO pay
your tax for the spaniel
The bohemian was immensely sur
priSel, or affected to be- But don't
you know, MY dear sir" he said in a
tone of remonstrance, this is a sheep
dog, useful 10 me in my work and con
sequentiy exempt from the taxi"
But you are no shepherd returned
the tax gathe.er; you are poet"
NO shapherd!' replied Goudeau.
Every poet is a shepherd. Have you
not heard of Virgil and Theocritus'-
The poet would have recited twenty
other names if the tax gatherer, alarm
ed at such display Of learning, had
not stopped him. But at least you
have no sheep he said.
NO: | admit that" said Goudeau

characteristic SONGS.

ut may o. may not be the case that
a races temperament can be judged
from its folk songs" said traveller on
a transatlantic liner the other day,
but it is interesting to note the diff
ference of subject matter in the songs
of various peoples.
The Irshman, for instance, seems
to sing for the most part about his
ladyloye. Harry any of his songs are
not addressed to his Somebody Ma
vourneen.'
THE Scot, on the other hand, sings
about his country and its history, as a
rule Scots Wha Haze 'Ye Banks and
Braes O. Bonnie Doom Loeb Lomond,'
and so Oh, might lie taken as examples.
THE En@lishman, it is interesting to
note, sings about himself all the time.
His songs are about his own glory, his
ships, his men, his power. He refers
occasionally to old England. but only
as place be made famous by his own
proves. Unlike TIE Irish and the
Scotch, he sings little of his women
and his country's beauties."-NewY York
Times.

A receding brow. like a receding
chin, shows "A lack of will power and
of Il firm and quick intelligence. The
forehead that has projecting bumps"
over the eyes indicates observation. A
high. prominent. hulging brow does
not contribute to the beauty of the
face, but it shows both the absent
mindedness and the keen intellect of
the scholar. 1t is the forehead that
looks straight, but which in reality

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

While the Presidents recent
