Y. M. C. A. NOTES

Within seven hours after the earthquake
Los Angeles, Cal, Y. NJ. C. A. raised
81, $50 and that afternoon sent this amount

of young men In San Francisco and San
Jose.

it had been a disputed point as to how
the flamingo disposed of his long legs
while asleep.
The birds sleep on small mounds re-
sembling the trunks of trees. One scien-
tifc work showed the hamingo asleep on
the mound with its legs astride. That
that was not the famingos method of
sleeping was shown by Mr.. Chapman
when he brought back photographs show
ing the famingo asleep on the mound
with its legs folded under the body. Sew
eral mounted in this manner are to be
seen in the museum group.

The Old Mans Letter.

From the Atlanta Constitution
The old man answered the letter OF the
young man at college. as follows:
Dear Billy-I got your letter. which

AS to Shaving.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
The controversy over shaving never
ends. Yesterday | stumbled over this
verse in Isaiah viii. 20: In the same day
shall the Lord shave with razor that
is hired. the head and the hair of the
feet and it shall also consume the beard"
Joseph shaved himself 17l5 years before
the birth of Christ. What kind of razor
did he use? Was 1t made of sea shell,
a bit of bone, n stone or tempered cop
per? And where was the hair on the
feet in the days of the prophet? I have
seen few men in my life with low but
thin. hairs on the third joints of their
toes was it customary to shave off those
hairs?

Six big tent headquarters have been es-
tablished by the association at San Fran
cisco, several of which were furnished by
the International committee, and nearly
$4,000 has been secured for the secretaries
in their work of ministering to the social
and spiritual need of the young men in
San Francisco. This Is the kind of SER
vice that the surgeons of the United
States army and President Mckinley de-
clared most valuable to the health of the
troops. Adequate plans are being made
for the re-housing of the association. for
which undoubtedly $250000 will be needed.

numbers of San Francisco refugees, fol-

through the city. Within one week posi-
tions for over three hundred men were
found by the employment department or
the association. not including the contract
laborers, for whom there was a large de-
mand from the various railroads building
in the northwest. While the citizens of
Portland gave over a quarter of a million
