There are several nice men whom I

How welsh Women Garry Babies.

How welsh Women Carry Babies.
From the London Chronicle.
The quaint old Welsh way in which
Swansea women carry their babies at
tracts every ones notice when visiting
that town for the first time. A big shawl
over the right shoulder is drawn down to
the left hip, where the two ends OF the
shawl are met and held together. form
ing a sort OF pouch or pocket, in which
the baby snuggles cozily and safely.
It's weight IS so supported by the hip
and distributed by the shawl over the
whole upper part Of the body that there
is no strain at all nor any firing OF the
arms. This probably accounts for the up
right carriage Of the Welsh mother.
Moreover, the method is comfortable for
the child and so safe that IN Swansea
small boys swathed in their mothers
shawls are seen carrying the family's
latest baby.

THE pRoTHERHooD OF MAN.

A True story which Proves That the
World IL Not Altogether Selfish.
"You needn't try to convince me that
the world is selfish to the CORE" said
q commercial traveller. II have just
come from a city in the middle west,
where this happened A teamster near
ly 20 years old and fast losing his eye
sight had saved some $1,000 to buy
him a little cottage and, with his wife,
took the money from the bank to close
the deal. Like most uneducated per-
sons, he could not understand having
a check, but wanted the money itself
to carry. In the elevator he was X b.
bed Of the money. He did not make
much outcry and neither did his wife;
hey were too stunned. At the police
station, where they reported the loss,
every man on the force was touched at
the pathos Of 1t. They impressed upon
the police reporters the worth of the
aged teamster and his anguish yer
the loss. The police reporter of one
paper wrote the story Just as it hap
pened. In IS minutes after the noon
edition Of the paper was on the streets
the telephone On the city editors desk
began to ring: OF course, you'll start
a fund for that man, put me down for
S10!' Well, money poured in without
any begging for 1t, and in less than
'hree weeks the mount was raised and
the identical cottage bought. There
was no SCI sme' or graft about this.
The public heart just opened to the
I'D man and his good wife. I saw
them when they came to the newspa,

Fighting Seabirds.

The Penguin, a notable diver among
seabirds, wins his mate by right o.
conquest, the male birds fighting fol-
the possession Of the females. These
curious birds have regular due
grounds, where relics of innumerable
combats, in the shape of feathers, lie
scattered about. j the center is the
lighting arena, clear of all debris. The
penquin's feathers and blubber form
an efficient shield against their oppo
nents' beaks, so the weapon used l.
the short ripper, the only wings tht
birds possess.
The fight begins with the two com
batants walking solemnly round eacl
other. waiting for an opportunity tc
grip. Once this is done, the fippers
come into play and the fighters shower
blow after blow upon each other. There
is no record as to how these fights end
but it is a safe superstition to say that
they are seldom fatal. The force Of the
blow from a penquin's ilpper is such
that three or four of them will draw
blood from the human hand.

One. OF the most cherished tradition
Of the British race, the cold tub every
morning, has been severely criticised
by a London physician, DIR. J. FL.
Clarke. He contends that people gen
orally are enslaved by words and
phrases. "The pores of the skin" is a
phrase at the shrine Of which many
feeble folk are sacrificing the last
flicker Of their energy In the daily
morning tub.
II once lost a good patient, who was
always ailing, by cutting of his daily
morning tub" says DR.. Clarke. HE
grew strong and put on weight ".s
and 1t is one OF his delights to shock
his friends by telling them how many
years 1t is since he had a bath
Too much soaping and scrubbins.
according to DR.. Clarke nov the
~lubricating material secreted In the
glands OF the skin to make II soft and
supple, and the removal leaves the skin
more sensitive to atmospheric changes.
The skin is a self-cleansing organ.
BY soaking the body the sel~f-cleansins
cells absorb water. swell up, and die.
"One has only to rub oneself after
d bath and they come or in little rolls.
These do not consist Of dirt, as Is the
popular idea, but Of dead skin-cells. I
often tell people that 1t is quite pos
sible for them to wash themselves dir
ty. They remove so much of the pro-
tecting surface that they give the dirt
q real chance OF getting into their
skins"
DR.. Clarke recommends as a substi-
tute for a bath a folded towel, " t
ted in the center and passed rapidly
all over the body. This will "open the
pores" sufficiently without entailins
any shock.

AGGY WINS FIRST.
Austin College Defeated at College
Station, - to o.

college Station. Texas, Oct T.
Agricultural and Mechanical college
opened what promises to be the
most successful football season in
her history by defeating Austin col
lege here Saturday by a score of II
to 0.
The game opened at o'clock, A.,
Il NJ, receiving and defending the
east goal. The first ten minutes of
play was occupied in an exchange of
punts; A. & NJ tried the bucking
game, but after carrying the ball
some twenty yards were held for
down. In the punting duel Hamilton
had the best of Mcdaniel, as the In
dian did not get into his swing I'M
til late in the game. A. & NJ. tried
only one forward pass in this half
and were penalized fifteen yards, the
ball striking the ground. Hamilton
took the ball on straight pass to
half and circled Austin's end, going
fifty yards for a touchdown, tried
goal and was successful. A few min
utes later A. e NJ. recovered the ball
on a short kick, and being held on
bucks, Hamilton kicked field goal
from the 25-yard line.
The Austin college team did not
come in expectation of winning the
game and put up a plucky fight and
for their size and weight made a
splendid showing. They play their
old rivals, Trinity University at
Waxahachie next Wednesday.
