His Athletin Nainhhnr.

A young man inmate of a boarding
house had been disturbed night after
night by the boarder in the next room
doing things with a punching bag he'd
rugged up in the room some way At
breakfast each morning the young man
would look over the crowd and won
der who the bag puncher might be-
but there was no one in sight but u
bunch Of women and eight or ten men
with narrow chests and retreating
chins. One night he made up his mind
to knock on the bag punching room

exercise until daylight when all the
worlds awake. The man might be
small enough to bulldoze even with all
his athletics. The door opened and
there, clad In tight fitting red jersey,
was q robust buXom woman of per.

A High Priced Fricassee.

Lord Alvanley, noted wit and high
liver in England a hundred years or so
ago, insisted on having an apple tart on
his dinner table every day throughout
the year. On one occasion he paid a
caterer $1,000 for n luncheon put up in
a basket that sufiiced a small boating
party going up the Thames. Being
one of q dozen men dining together at
q London club where each was re-
quired to produce his own dish. Alvan-
ley's, as the most expensive. won him
the advantage OF being entertained
free of cost. This benefit was gained
ut an expense of $540, that being the
price of simple fricassee composed
entirely of the 'noix," or small pieces
at each side of the back. taken from
thirteen kinds OF birds. among them
being 100 snipo. 40 woodcocks and 20
pheasants-in all about 800 birds.

Why Not Pass the Plate7

They ought to pass the plate at
church weddings. 1t comes natural to
do 1t in church. and TO do so would
add a pretty and useful employment to
the duties of the ushers, who always
have a little spare time before the
bride arrives. And, really, getting
married Is more expensive than ever,
and, though wedding presents are ex-
cellent in their way, what the young
people usually need the most is cash.
Instead OF the list Of gifts which the
newspapers sometimes print we should
read, "rhe collection yielded $4,000
o0O." That would be nice. 1t is much
easier to store and care for money
than plate and glass! And money al
ways fits and there is no such thing as
an embarrassing duplication of dollars.

The Salt Charm Failed.

Some three years before the Franco
German war broke out Count Secken-
dorff accompanied King William |. on
his visit to Napoleon Ill. and was
present at the celebrated dejeuner Civ
en- in the Pavilion de Diane at Fon-
tainebleau. King William, who was
sitting next the empress, was asked
by her to pass the salt, and In comply
ing with this request he threw little
salt over his shoulder. Upon the en-
press exclaiming, why do you do
that?" the king explained that in his
country it was the custom to do so
when passing the salt to ward off bad
luck and any chance of quarrel. The
empress in prettily turned speech at
once replied But surely there is no
danger of anything interfering witt
our friendship" In less than three
years the Germans had crossed the
Rhine.-London Spectator.

Tho Festive Goldfish.

A correspondent of the New York
Post says that the Goldfish frequents
"the tablelands of the sea-" The cod
fish no doubt does this to secure as
nearly as possible a dry, bracing at.
mosphere. This pure air of the sub
marine tabelands gives to the Goldfish
that breadth of chest and depth of
lungs that we have so often noticed.
The glad, free smile of the Goldfish is
largely attributed to the exhilaration
of this oceanic altitoodleum. The cor.
respondent further says that the "cod.
fish subsists largely on the sea cherry"
Those who have not had the pleasure
of seeing the Goldfish climb the cherry
tree in search of food or clubbing the
fruit from the heavily laden branches
with chunks of coral have missed q
very fine sight. The Goldfish when at
home rambling through the submarine
forests does not wear his vest unbut-
toned as he does while loafing around
the grocery stores of the United States.

Old as the history OF the world itself
is that OF the queen OF flowers. The
ancient Greeks and Romans reveled In
roses. They were used lavishly ut their
feasts. In the time OF the republic the
people had their cups Of Falernian
wine swimming with blooms. and the
Spartan soldiers after the battle OF
Cirrha refused TO drink any wine that
was not perfumed with roses. while at

Of the Lucrine lake was strewn with

Hair Monstrosities.

French theater managers in the
eighteenth century had worse evils
than picture hats to contend against.
Marie Antoinette. who was short even
according to French standards, set the
fashion of high coitfures. and ultra
fashionable women prided themselves
on measuring four feet from their
chins to the tops OF their heads

to erect. the hairdresser mounting a

IMMORTALITY IN SCHOOLS.

There have been frequent scandals
in the schools of the country as a result
OF the immortality of pupils of the
grades and the high schools. Fortu
nately Fargo has escaped to a great
degree any unsavory sensations. The
Minneapolis Journal has the following
comment on the conditions that ex,se
in some cities:
The Journal of the State Medical
association discusses in it's last issue
the subject Of immortality in the public
schools In palmer manner than a.
daily newspaper can take it up. But the
matter is of such vital Importance that
a daily newspaper would be remiss in
its duty, IL 1t did not call attention to
what the physicians are saying.
For some time past" this medical
publication says, "the unpleasant fact
that gross immortality Is present in our
public schools suggests the advisabillty
of a more careful inquiry into the stu
alton. II also presents one of the
strongest arguments in favor Of medt-
cal inspection in public schools"
The boys of today" 1t adds. "are
too far advanced in their knowledge Of
sex life" AS to girls. 1t quotes DR.
Francis F. Clark as making the start
ling statement that girls are less stead
fast than boys, that their consciences
are more plastic.
The careless Indifference and short
sightedness Of parents is blamed. But
unhappily, blaming does not bring
remedy. 1t is a fact, If this publica
ton may be believed--and 1t appears
to be of the highest honor among the
physicians of the state-that in the
high school our children are being
thrown among rainous influences. that
there are men in the medical profession
who know 1t, that they are aroused
upon the subject, and that thew are
discouraged by the indifference or
weakness OF parents.
The real danger lies in the fact that
few cases of immortality NAV. and
often do, infect large number of in
nocent ones. This is the real crime Of
the concealment of the few cases that
exist. They should be rooted out. II
nothing else will do the school hoard
should act. OF course, this will i'm
mediately raise the cry of paternalism
and interference. But the state is very
paternal in the matter OF smaIlnox
diphtheria and scarlet fever diseases
that are mild compared with those
that destroy soul and body.
The statement made by the Journal
OF the Medical association should have
