MANY CHILDREN DEFECTIVE
New York Educators Make Exam
nations There.
Their Estimate is That 100000 Of
School Age in United States
Have Physical Defects.

New York.-The reopenIng of the
public schools throughout the country
Is to be the occasion for report
on the physical condition OF school
children, by committee of promi
nent educators headed by Chairman
Burdenham, former president of the
New York board Of education. The
inquiry has taken a wide scope and
the observation apply not only to the
scAool children of New York. but also
to those of Boston, Chicago and other
cities.
A synopsis of the representatives
says in part: 'Based on the physical
defects and home conditions of 1,4O0
school children of New York it Is cs.
timated that 10000 900 of the children
Of the United States have physical
defects more or less, which should
receive attention from parents and
physicians. If the percentage record
ed by the board of health. In New
York should be maintained through.
out the country (and it seems likely
that they would be as impaired Wis.
ion, malnutrition and defective breath
ing are found IN rural as we'll as
urban schools) there must be 1.ii0 900
illnourishci children, $4,000 with
enlarged glands and $685. 600 with de-
tc1tiye breathing in the United States.
In New York City the estimated fig.
ures are malnutrition, 10000; en-.
larged glands, $4,000, and defective
breathing, 100000.
a large percentage OF the defects
indicated are easily rcmcdicd and
many could be prevented by proper
care, though except the cases of dc.
fcctive vision. the causes are not al.
ways easily determined.

Proved His Mettle.

The sultan of Morocco is barbarous
in his methods in spite of his acGuaint-
ance with European civilization. Not
long ago, the story runs, he visited his
private menagerie with a camera In
order to Photograph the animals. Ar
rived before the cage of a tiger, the
young monarch suddenly desired his
minister of war to hold the beast by
the ear while he photographed it.
Dreading his masters displeasure if
he refused, the trembling minister ap-
preached the cage, and, thrustiDg his
hand between the bars, grasped the
animal by the ear. With q fierce
growl the tiger sprang to its feet,
while the wretched minister clung
grimly to It, divided between fear OF
the tiger and dread OF the sultan. At
that moment, to his inexpressible re-
lief. the camera clicked, and his or
deal was over. His courage did not
go unrewarded. The sultan has dis
tributed numerous copies of the pho
tOgraph as an evidence of his skill as
q photographer ard Of the pluck OF
his war minister.

JUST A GENTLE HINT.
One Remedy Appearances Indicated
Nobleman Had Never Tried.

The earl Of Surrey, afterward elev-
enth duke of Norfolk, who was no.
torious gourmand and hard drinker
and a leading member of the Beef
steak club, was so far from cleanly in
his person that his servants used to
avail themselves Of his fits Of drunken
ness-which were pretty frequent, by
the way-for the purpose Of wash
ing him. On these occasions they
stripped him as they would corpse
and performed the needful ablutions.
He was equally notorious for his
horror Of clean linen. One day, on
his complaining to Dudley North at
his club that he had become q per-
feet martyr TO rheumatism and tried
every possible remedy without sue
cess the latter wittily replied:
Pray, my lord, did you ever try
q clean shirt?"

man NJ c. Henninger just back from
a two weeks fishing expedition to Con-

identical story of a rattler taking to a
stream. But the other day a Philadel.
phian saw rattlesnake swimming
across the lake. He jumped into a

AS soon as he had overtaken the
snake he gave 1t tap with an oar. He
thought he had broken the rattler's
back and tossed II into the boat II
was only stunned, however, and on re.
viving gave battle at once. The Phila.
delphian succeeded in killing it, but
not until he had narrow escape from
being bitten.-Allentown Correspond.

PRETTY IDEAS IN TRIMMING.
Narrow Frills OF Mousseline and Lace
Are Much Used.

A trimming idea exploited upon
some OF the prettest frocks in silk
mousseline and similar sheer stuns
and expressing the tendency toward
frills and furbolows was a feature Of
one of the silk coats and mousseline
skirt frocks which figure among the
cuts. Alternate narrow frills OF valen-
ciennes lace and mousseline cover
the skirt 20 line above the knees and
the sleeves. which are left visible by
the sleeveless oasaque. are also COM
posed OF alternating frills Of nous
seline and Of lace
Tiny frllls OF soft ribbon trim many
sheer frocks. the ribbon being used in
profusion. and countless narrow bands
Of ribbon laid on fat are also a popu-
lar trimming for the summer frock.
One secs, too. as in the case OF
the ruched silk casRque and nous
seline skirt model. wide full ruches OF
sheer material edged with narrow rib
bon in satin or velvet used as the bot
tom trimming for skirts Of the sheer
fabric. In this particular instance the
skirt was Of mousseline and the mar
row edge was of silk. matching the
little bolero.
