Poor Material For British Army.


If there be any doubt that physi-
cal deterioration in the submerged
classes is more serious than it used
TO be the report Of the Army Medi-
cal Department pins one down bet
ween that opinion and the conclu-
sion that the army is recruited from
lower social stratum. Average
British recruits" the report states,
"are not only the youngest but in the
poorest physical condition Of those
stand work which did not injure we'll
fed conscripts of twenty years Of
age; still less can they face exercises
which would do harm to robust
men" They are in fact from want
Of food and from cigarette habit such
miserable specimens OF humanity
that 1t takes two years to make men
of them. The report confirms what
we said the other day, to the effect
that a British army is painfully pro-
duced from the army Of the British
unemployed; as many as 95 per cent,
OF accepted recruits are hopeless
"out of works" There is a good
deal amiSs with the conditions that
make these degenerates and the re-
port gives one to think furiously:
but the larger question raised by it
is whether any amount Of training
and selection can produce an elfic-
lent army out of such material.

QUEER ANCIENT CUSTOMS.
Touching a Suicides Hand Was
Thought q Cure for sickness.

In former times it was a common
notion that, if a sick person, could
only touch the hand of q suicide, he
or she would be cured.
This superstition was especially
common In the west OF England; in
Cornwall, touching a suicides hand
was said to have once cured a young
man who had been afflicted with
many tumors from his birth. A
similar superstition regarding the
touch of executed criminals has been
rideIy prevalent and has often been
recorded.
Robert Hunt, in his "Romances of
the West O England" says that he
once saw a young woman led to the
scaffold at Newgate to have a wen
touched by the hand of a man who
had Just been executed.
At NORTHAMPTON of old the hang
man is said to have had a regular
fee for according a similar ''pTivi-
lsge" to the sufferers from like dis
orders. Even the coffin of a suicide
may have curative value.
There Is a DevOnshire belief to
the effect that, If any one suffering
from disease can manage to throw a
white handkerchief on such a coffin
at the time OF its interment, the
disease will vanish as the handker-
chief decays.
Much superstitioIs value has been
attached 70 the knots Of the ropes
used either by a suicide or in the
execution of q criminal

Clean Your Glasses.

You who wear spectacles must IN
derstand that you cannot see to ad-
vanage through greasy lenses. The
common habit Is to wipe eyeglasses
or spectacles with a silk handker-
chief carried In the pocket. The fin-
ger tips always exude a delicate oil.
This gets on the handkerchief and
from the handkerchief goes on to the
lenses. Presently there s q smear Of
grease and people complain of dim
ness of vision. Drop the handker-
chief; get some very fine tissue
paper cut into small sections, wipe
your glasses with two or three pieces
and throw them away.

HE DEPENDS TIPPING.
Man Who Was Once a Waiter Com
siders Others Standpoint.

Somehow I don't approve these
wholesale kicks on the tipping sys-
tenn" said a business man who IS
fairly prosperous. 81 was a waiter
myself once and know how it seems
from the other side.
"Oh, no, I wasn't d regular pro-
fessional, merely one of the college
brand. Many college men, Of course,
help themselves through college by
working as walters and beIlboys and
0oatmen and other things at sum
mer resorts, and If they are squeam-
ish about taking tips, why. It isn't
worth while taking such Jobs.
, 1T came hard at first to take tips:
gave me a sort of q feeling that I was
unclassing myself But It wore of.
In fact there was certain amount
of satisfaction, after a while, in get
ting tip that had been earned by
giving more careful service than the
Job really demanded. I remember
now the pleasure it gave me to re-
ceive a gratuity, and the thank you
was always meant.
$50 now when life lies in less ard
uous places I find pleasure in giving
q tip. l do not regard it as an over
charge or an extOTtioR, merely a
little reward that I can well afford
to give to one who will appreciate
It.
IF more persons would only look
on that side of the question, the
pleasure that a gratuity gives the
recipient, l am sure there would be
less kicking Surely there is JOY in
kindness, at least I have found 1t

How Coca Is CuItivated-Used as
Preventive of sIeeD and Fatigue-


Coca is the South American in.
vigorant The shrub from which
the coca leaves are obtained grows
under favorable conditions to a
height Of about four meters. It is
cultivatd IN Peru and BOLIVIA.
At the time the crop is gathered
the seeds are sown in beds, when
they germinate and grow, and in
two months the growing plants
reach a height of about a foot. The
leaves. grown in the proper sunlight
and shade, are yelIowish, small and
thick.
This is the kind OF leaf that is
preferred for chewing by persons
using the leaf as a stimulant, forti-
fer and preventive Of sleep and
fatigue in the performance Of ardu-
Gus work, inasmuch as they prevent
rheumatism, from which miners
suffer when working in mines that
