adventurous spirit. Instead OF going
to school he started out to join
hand Of buccaneers, leaving letter

caught in the rain. Growing miser-

then gave up his idea Of 9 piratical
career and came home very late at
night. He met with chilling recep-
ton. The clock licked. his fathers
newspaper cracked and his sister did
not look up from her book. Even his
mother did not seem to care whether
he had returned or not. The cat, how

much cleaner now than in the reigns
Of Queens Mary and Elizabeth, when
the washing of clothes was unknown.
Cotton was hardly in use and linen
was expensive.
The poor wore rough woolen gar,
ments, which were never washed, and
the better classes adorned themselves
with silks and velvets, which were
dyed when they would no longer pass
muster In regard to cleanliness. It Is
recorded, continued DR.. Hastings, that
James /. never washed either hands
or face during the period he posed as
the wisest fool In Christendom. but
confined his cleanliness within the
narrow limits Of wiping his finger
tips upon damp napkin.
A very simple experiment. made by
an eminent bacteriologist, determines
in a startling manner the potential
dangers associated with accumulations
Of dust IN a living room. A pin-point
was used to convey as much dust az

yielded no less than 1900 colonies OF
living germs, when cultivated on gel
attn, and although fortunately every
species was not representative Of dis
ease, yet the majority were potent
sources Of decomposition and danger

HEALTH AND GOOD LOOKS.

to good looks. Beauty is thing that

to have a good light, you must naso

Another feature OF woman's. beauty

PEWs THAT CARRY A VOTE
oueer Custom Of a Parish Church in
England Dates Away
Back

The parish church Of Chertsey pos
sesses a curious anomaly, says the
Sunday Strand. It has several pews in
it's gallery which are bought and sold
by auction, just like table or a chair,
and these pews give their owners for
the time being legal right to vote at
parliamentary elections in the division.
Moreover, the owners of the pews have
to pay the poor rate of 81 year
into the bargain-a privilege they are
not so eager to use as the former one.
Many years ago the, church wardens
of Chertsey were at their wits end
In order to raise money for the restor-
alton and repair of the sacred edifice,
and they could finu no solution to the

OF her many treasures Queen Al

jug OF earthenware, which she keeps

her by a poor dying girl. whose lat

tender nursing and sympathy OF
Princess Alexandra. When the
queen entertains any very exalted
guest at afternoon tea in her Swiss
chalet, it is from this humble, but
