Clothes and the Man,

A gentleman met his medical adviser on Forty-sccond street the other day and passed friendly greeting.
 "Well, and how are you?" asked the doctor.
 Quite passabIe, thanks" said the other, but l notice that when I bend my body forward, stretch out my arms horizontally and impart to them a cir cular motion always feel such pain In my left shoulder"
 But what need Is there for you to perform such ridiculous antics?" in quired the physician.

Found a Better Place,

Mark Twain said: Once when I was going out to visit some friends l told George, ny negro servant, to lock the house and put the key under a certaib stone near the steps. He agreed tc do so. It was late at night when I re. turned. I went to the stone under which the key was supposed to have been hidden. It was gone. hunted around for about fifteen minutes, but still no key. Finally went to Georges house-he roomed outside and rapped vigorously upon the door A. black head, which I had no diff. ficulty in recognizing as Georges, pop ped out of tn upstairs window.
 "Whcrc did you put that key, you black rascal?' I roated.
 "Oh, massa" answered George, "1 found a better place for it!''

The Reason a SubIineual Test Is Used
 In Finding 1t.
 What is persons normal tempera- ture? is q question often asked of ev- cry physician.
 When the answer 9S.6 degrees F. is given to the query very few people understand the physiological signifi- canoe of this fact or how degree of systemic heat is maintained during health within such narrow limits that their bodies have an even tempera- ture the coldest day In winter or the hottest day in summer with an ex- actness of adjustment that Is not ob' tainable in warming or cooling their homes with the most up to date heat ing and refrigerating apparatus.
 Now. in accepting the statement that the body temperature is 0S.6 de grees r. it must be borne in mind that to some extent this is relative figure, for the warmth of the exte- rior varies markedly from that of the interior. The surface temperature Of the head. hands or abdomen may diff fer from 06 degrees +. down to 03 de' grees F. or lower, while that of tht internal regivns may extend up to 1922 degrees F., the average of blood circulating in organs like the liver. pancreas and kidneys. For practical purposes some gauge must be accept cd whereby normal temperature may be measured and compared. There fore on account of convenience and practicability the temperature taken carefully under the tongue by a clin- ical thermometer has been selected as a common standard throughout med ical circles. It is sometimes recorded in the axilla or groin instead of ID the mouth when for any reason sublingual test is not advantageous The temperature of these localitie- differs slightly from the mouth, being 5 degrees F. less.-Technical World Magazine

VACATION.

This Is the glad vacation time, When dainty Doris rests. She's staying rt beach hotel With some six hundred guests. She golfs and swims and drives and
 walks
 All day without a stop, And every night she flirts till twelve Or dances at a hop. She's having just quiet time To rest her tired brain. Her work all through the college year, You know. was such a strain! But now she's resting-gaining strength. As all girls ought to do. She's up each day at eight o'clock And gets to sleep at two. How blessed Is vacation, when Your brain Is tired out To rest your nerves and give you calm And make you strong and stout And Doris will return refreshed, Her brown eyes bright and clear. To look ahead to peaceful days Of rest another year.

A STATE CARRIAGE.
Present to a Chinese Emperor That
 Puzzled the Orientals.

Puzzled the OrIentdiS.
 When, in 1793, Sir George Macart' nay headed the first British embassy to China, he brought with him numer- ous presents for the emperor. Among these was a magnificent state carriage, an article which delighted, but at the same time puzzled, the Chinese more than any other gift. Nothing like 1t had ever been seen at the capital Comical disputes immediately arose as to the seat intended for the emperor.
 The hammercloth which covered the box of the carriage had smart edging of festoons of roses. It made splen' did appearance, and that. with its ele- vated position, immediately determined the official mind that 1t was without doubt the emporer's seat Then the question arose of what the inside of the coach was intended for. The blinds, screens ard so forth were all carefully examined, and 1t was decided that the interior was the place for the ladies only.
 An old retainer went to member of the embassy to ask if the conclusions were correct When he learned that the fine elevated box was the seat of the coachman and that the emperor's place was inside the coach he was mortified He asked, with q sheer, If it was supposed that the son of heav- en would suffer any one to sit higher than himself and turn his back on him. When he found that the driver was obliged to use the seat in question he
 Kissing the Book.
 "Kissing the book" Is q rather late development of the mere touching of the gospels with the fingers, which dates from the sixth century. It is likely that the kiss was originally tn- tended not to increase the solemnity of the oath, but to signify reverence and affection for the book. The kiss ap- pears to have come into fashion to- ward the end of the sixteenth century and would seem, from what George Fox says of 1t, to have been Protes- tant innovation. According to him, the unreformed method was simply to hold the gospels with three fingers above the book, typifying the Trinity. and two fingers below. typifying the twofold destruction of body and soul that an oath taker invoked upon him. self If he swors

A peculiar dove-lke bird with a sort of nuted beak and resembling a stormy petrel, was picked up this morning on the waterfront and is now n the possession of Ed Grothjan. It is very tame-a and seems to manifest no desire to fly away. The species does not belong to these inland waters and it is presumed that the fierce winds that have been raging off the Pacific for the past two days drove the little thing ashore here.
