ordinances impose penalty OF from
one to one hundred dollars for this
offense.-Canon City Record.

The climax was reached when he
picked up a kettle of boiling water
and deliberately poured it over the
wife and children, burning the chill

The wife and children informed
the court that they would not appear

HOW TO GO DOWN A ROPE.
This Is a Good Thing to Know in
Case of Fire.

Every person should know how to
descend rope properly, says the
Utica Observer. 1t can be done in
perfect safety and the hands be no
more injured than they would be in
holding the handle of an umbrella.
IL you are compelled 20 descend n
rope, remember always first to throw
the rope around your leg. The way
1 should do it, and the way | have
done it for practice, is to let my
right leg hang down around the rope,
letting the rope come over the right
instep and so on up lengthwise of
the calf of the leg and diagonally
across the thigh. Then take hold
of the rope above your head with
your hands and step off. BY the ac-
ton of your leg you can hold your
self in any spot, and you can descend
just as slowly as you may desire.
Throw the foot outward, toward the
right, making an angle for the rope
to run over, if you want 10 decrease
your speed or to stop.
1t is easy enough. and If tried
once or twice where there is no dan
ger from falling, it soon becomes nat
ural and the most timid will feel
confidence. Every gymnasium man
knows how to do it, and it should be
taught to women who have the priv
ilege of gymnasiums. But as thou
sands upon thousands never sec the

travel at all, or who live in build

vided with fire escapes, ought 20
know something about going doTn
rope. | have read of people who
were killed while attempting to es-
cape from burning buildings, simply
because they caught hold of the
ropes, jumped out, could not hold
their weight by their hands, were
burned by the friction, let go and
were dashed to death. You can p-ac-
tice it in a barn, or in IN attic, or
in stairway, or from an upper
porch, or off fence. Try it first by
simply stepping from chair, and
then a table, and so on, increasing
the distance till you have mastered
the trick and are not in danger of
hurting yourself in a trial. from a
high place.

100000 EYES"
An Illustrated Study in the Growth
of Language.


l count myself fortunate that so
much of my illustration from Sa-
moan sources it has been possible
to parallel with English usage, for
the infant of the highly organized
community stands for a brief space
in his evolution On the general
plane of the infant community. The
English which | have so apprecia-
lively cited is not the English of the
rhetoricians, little of it has found
lodgment in our dictionaries. but it
is English none the less. II bears
to our literary style some such rela-
ton as the Latinity of Plautus bears
to that of Tully's philosophical es-
says. 1t is the best English we
could have for comparison speech
and not ruled by canons of dainty
taste, but under the sway of more
elemental laws of construction, laws
which, operative in only crude
and questionable portion of our
English, we find to be the basic laws
for the creation of Samoan words.
1t is because of the recognition of
the fact, that the law is one for the
Iolh IhSiIoli anu III bhU
which is all a folk speech, that
have drawn so cordially upon. this
source of the less dignified English.
If argument were necessary to show
that this English baby talk is not a
mere survival, a modern instance &C.
ours, one which shows us a new
draft from the ancient storehOuse of
word creating activity. one of pecu-
liar interest to our present inquiry,
because the new. vocable is set forth
upon it's career of activity by the
instinct vitality of the form alone
with no connotation of sense what
ever.
Not long ago song swept this
land, swept over seas to every re-
hottest land where the English
tongue is used. 1t owed it's hearing
to the sensuous charm of the loose
jointed syncopation of its African
melody, but once heard il owed its
life to one new word and to that
word only because it was, in the
terms of this study, a duplication.
Just because she made them goo
goo eyes"-that was what won the
verdict before the popular Aeropagus
of public that has and exerts the
power of the police verso to damn
or to reward. A googoo eye-up to
that time of sudden vogue a goo
goo was a thing or a quality I'M
known to our English. 1t seems to
argue primative, a goo, yet such
a thing had never been heard.
Where many a more important can
didate for our speech has failed this
meaningless dissyllablee burst into
life. Thus has come TO us the geo-
goo eye, savage and barbaric in es-
sense, senseless yet bursting with
significance, the popular triumph of
duplication. throw back. a plebe-
ian revision to type.-William

WORLDS HEALTHIEsT RACE.
Points in Health Matters That We
should Learn From Sweden.

With the Swedes exercise, gymnas-
tic exercise, not mere walking. is Il
religion. The very criminals under
sentence must have 1t, and therefore
full instructions for daily gymnastics
are posted even in the condemned
cell. AS soon would they think OF
depriving a malefactor of his Bible
as of his days order
Grown folk must have it, and there
fore the gymnasiums spring up as
thick ms mushrooms. The children
mrst have it. therefore, when the
state has done all that 1t can for
them physically, private associations
take them up. Free skating Kinks
and toboggan slides-even free to-
boggans and skates for the skateiess--
are provided less with the end of Civ
ing the children joy than of pronot-
ing that fetch of the Swedish soul
public health.
Associations for outdoor games take
charge of the public Fairgrounds. or
ganizing so-called padagogic games
that are not onlySuproaring fun, but
develop swiftness, precision, and
nerve. With government aid, these
societies send teachers of games to all
the common schools, and the children
are turned loose in the open air every
day for short romp. We use these
Swedish games in our gymnasiums
and in such of the public schools as
can command the space. Why not
use them out of doors and make them
universal?
When Swede has got his body
built he does not leave off there.
What the club is to an English bus
mess man, the gymnasium is TO the
Swede. He takes exercise suited to
his age to keep in condition; or. IL not
up to the mark. puts into the nearest
gymnasium for repairs. The move
ment cure and massage-these are his
substitutes for drugs. Headaches,
liver complaints, nerves, dyspepsia.
are all treated, at least partially, by
active or passive gymnastics.
Medical gymnastics after the Swed-
ish model are more and more coming
into favor with English physicians.
But middle-aged English people have
lot to learn about the therapeutic
value of exercise. 1t keeps off fatty
degeneration: it keeps off age. Look
at the Swedes-their clean skins:
their fresh color, their freedom from
surplus weight. Look at their NOR
tality rate-the lowest in the civilized
world.-Iondon Evening News.

FALLS OUT OF BED.
Patriarch's Excursion Ends i'm Q
Hospital, Much to His Wrath.

After having managed to pull
through ma. ter of 104 years with
out any illness to speak OF, and
having as result fine contempt
of doctors of all sorts, it's rather
hard luck when taking your first
pleasure trip in half century to
fall out of your ber,h, and lower
berth at that, and get handed over
TO the sawbones In spite of the finest
expressions of resentment in Rus
sian and Yiddish. That is what
happened to Samuel Fps Elm, Grand
pop Epstein, of 157 Christopher ave-
nue., East New York, Saturday
morning as he was coming home on
board the steamer Charles W. Morse
after visiting one of his granddaugh-
tiers at Albany.
Ever since the death of the last
of his own children, Samuel Ep-
stein has lived with his grandson.
Abraham Epstein, in East New York.
He wasn't much given to travelling,
but last Tuesday he announced, that
he believed that he was beginning
to grow bit old and that he would
visit his daughters children in AL
bany while he was still young
enough to enjoy the delights of
travel. He took along with him his
grandson Abraham, who has lived
long enough to get some strands of
gray in a beard which is we'll enough
in its way but doesn't begin 10 COM
pare with the silver glory which
hn 0f
pop Epstein The old Russian Jew
has never broken the Mosaic law
which says thou shalt not mar the
corners of thy beard; and it is pos
sible to produce something unusual
in that line when one has 80 years
or SO to devote to it.
Grandpop Epstein's kinsfolk did
their best to make him like Albany.
They showed him the state house,
which although less ancient is much
more decrepit than himself, and
played up the rest of the sights to
the best of their ability, but the
patriarch didn't think much of the
place, and, changing his mind about
staying out the week, decided to
hurry back to Brownsville to cele-
brate his 105th birthday.
After seeing his grandson do the
fearful feats of daring necessary to
reach an upper berth, Grandpop Ep-
stein got into a lower one. He slept
we'll until early yesterday morning
when he had an evil dream and, TOSS
ing about, rolled out of the berth.
1t was only an 1S-inch fall, but
it hurt Grandpop Epstein's feelings
besides bruising his legs. 1t didn't
seem dignified in man of 104
years to tumble about in that fash
ion, and Grandpop Epstein said so
while his grandson and the negro
cabin boy on the boat applied the
arnica. He was quite certain that
he felt strong enough to go home
when the boat locked at the foot
Of Canal street on the North river,
and he proved at least that he had
plenty of energy left in the language
he used when DR. Stillman of the
Hudson street hospital decided that
