How fast do hares and rabbits rum
Perhaps you have wondered while out
cunning and watched the elusive ami
mails speeding away. According to ].
G. Millias, the length OF a hare's stride
is about four feet, while that of a rab-
bit Is about two feet. Under conditions
of fear the hare Is said TO leap ten to
twelve feet, some authorities claiming
that it can jump bitches ten to twenty
five feet In width. A hare can jump
upward perpendicularly five feet. Rab
bits can make leaps of six or seven feet
horizontally, but cannot jump higher
than three feet. When compelled to
do so, it Is said, rabbits can swim as
we'll as dogs.-Philadelph North

English Boys I'm Bad Way.

Ninety per cent of our school boys
are being educated to present flaw
less smoothness OF mental surface;
very soon they will show an equally
monotonous sameness of physical build.
Now, what is the outcome Of ali this
undue constraint ON a lads character?
There is reason to suppose that its ef-
feet is one Of compression on the mind;
as regards its result on the disposition,
it IS necessary 10 speak with caution.
1t is perhaps impossible accurately to
sum up the average characteristics of
the average product of our athletic
school system, but, broadly speaking,
such a boy may DE described as an
incarnate hurricane; for his existence
Is a continuous hanging about, he is
naturally impatient with everything
out OF keeping with his own robust be-
ing, is intolerant of anything purely
literary or artistic, treats with con-
tempt (thanks to the precept and ex-
emple OF his directors) all ''non-sportS-
men," and, when he has reached sixth

studies out of school hours to certain
gaudy weeklies and one or two "muscu-
lar" monthlies. He has fluent COM
mand OF language which is not Eng
lish, is apt to be rough in manner.
and is by no means free from what
the mOralists call viciousness.
On the other hand, he is not without
some good INTELLECTUALLY a certain
bluff straightforwardness arising in
part from his steady obedience to the
sporting maxim of fair play" and in
part from his usual want OF mental
depth; he shows in his quieter mo-
ments a patronizing consideration for
his weaker brethren, and now and then
there peep out traits of character which
tell us that, given a happier training,
he might not have made his life inces-
sanity rotate round a center of muscle
unaffected by other and worthier CEN
tiers.
In fact. there Is every sign that
many OF our boys are degenerating into

Health and beauty Hints.
4 skillful hairdresser knows how to
take off years from the face Of his pa
iron by the manner in which ne puts up
her hair.
Mothers should not forget that with
summer complaint, vomiting is Sc
rious symptom, and doctor should be
sent for Immediately.
Tall women look bad with a high
couture, while a mignon beauty will
gain dignity and inches by having her
hair dressed on the top OF her head.
To preserve good complexion
never wash the face with hard water.
If natural soft water cannot be obtain
ed, throw little oatmeal in the water
used.
Boiling vinegar as hot as can be
borne to the gum and cavity Of an
aching tooth will allay the pain. Use
a bit of absorbent cotton TO pack the
tooth cavity and apply until relief is
obtained.
When washing the hair is necessary,
harmless shampoos should be chosen.
The simplest which can always be made
is to melt cake Of CASTLE soap in a
quart of boiling water. Put 1t into a
wide-mouth jar and use about two ia
blespoonfuls at time. Massage we'll
into the scalp.

style is more becoming.
Crochet cotton in the finest weaves
Is being used in the formation Of me-
dallions, insertion and covered buttons
in colored effects for heavy waists. Of

crocheted. The colors are dark blue,
red, yellow and deep brown.
The evening scarf is more popular
than ever. 1t has come ont in per-
forated channels beautifully embroi-
dered in gold. 1t is lined with white
kid, which glistens through tue perfor-

A fashion that prevails nightly,
also, is that of sweeping the atmos-

Over in England the possession OF q

latchkey has grown so universal as to

Il woman's either, for that matter. Not
SO very long ago the American wom-

women's latchkeys are now as common

back only about seventy years the
latchkey has stepped with some sud

Under such treatment child, instead

A childish good time does not consist
in never being punished. No, indeed,
there are times when even the best

need the strongest kind of discipline.
But the thing is not to be scolding and
