soldier in the last war.
At dusk of a day throughout which
they had been lying under heavy fre,
an officer crawled up with orders for
the battalion to assault, upon Which
the Irishman got up, shook himself
and said: And whoy not?"
On another occasion when a man
screamed at the loss OF finger on

Determining Physical Condition.

Children differ in development, and
Dr. T. NJ. Rotch has pointed out that
the present method OF regulating child
labor by age is unscientific and unsat-
lsfactory. One child may be as well
developed and capable of endurance
at 10 as another several years older
He proposes that the X-rays be used
in estimating the capacity of the young
and immature, as sufficient study will
make it practicable to gauge physical
condition by the state OF development
of the bones of the body, and thus give
a rational basis for determining what
work may be permitted

A Quiet Salary.

Somebody in Minnesota town
wrote a letter TO the Minneapolis
Journal Directing to a local clergyman
because he yelled" so much. After
considering the matter the Journal
reaches the conclusion that IL the min
lister yelled" in proportion to his sal
airy he wouldn't make as much noise
as a mouse in a bag of feathers The
minister receives $3.50 a year and his
parsonage From this instance it
doesn't seem as though a man on that
salary ought TO make very much of 4
racket, but perhaps he is elated be-
cause he has six or eight children and
a nice Waterbury American.
