wounded. OF all the water snakes TO
chase a wounded redhead bears the
palm. The legend of them clinging
to the weeds below and drowning
themselves is all rot. When the
wounded bird, in its intense desire to
escape its pursuers, dives beneath
the surface, it opens its wings, and,
aided by these, used almost as in
fight, swims rapidly along. The
hooking of the wings in this subma-
rine work offers a fine place for weeds
to lodge on. The passing bird drags
these from their moist rootage If she
can. If not, she endeavors TO shake
them of. II the poor bird is unable
to do this, she browns there-weed-

formed of the strenuous efforts being
made in every country by earnest and
trained investigators. All over the
world institutions have been estab-
lished for cancer research. One Of
this sort has existed in Buffalo, New
York, for over ten years; the disease
is being studied by a commission in
Massachusetts, by another in Eng
land; there are also institutes for
the study of cancer in Berlin, Frank
fort and Heidelberg in Germany, and
an International society has been es-
tablished and meets regularly for the
comparing of results.
The results thus far, from the'point
of view Of the layman, have not been
found, a great deal has been learned
about the nature of cancer. The
cause of It has not yet been definitely
established But the study has been
systematically prosecutedrfo only. a

THE NAMING OF GIRLS.

Undoubtedly there are deities fully
consecrated to the important business
of naming girls, so happily is that
task accomplished. Gladys is a child
of the spirit of mischief. Josephine
wears sweet gravity, and Mary, too,
discourses of serious matters. Nora,
, in some incarnation, has seen fairies
scampering over moor and hall, and
the remembrance OF them leases her
memory. Katherine is not so faith
less as her ways might lead you to
believe. Laura without dark eyes
would be impossible, and her pre-
destined PetrarGh would never deliver
his sonnets. Helen may be seen only
against a background of Trojan wall.

Many skeptical and practical" per-
sons are prone to scoif at the alleged
progress in medical science. They
admit that the average span of life
has been heightened, and that the
fearful infant mortality of the last
and previous centuries has been ma
terIally reduced; but this, they say, is
the result of the Improvement in n.y.
giene effected as much by sanitary
engineers and sociologists as by med
ical investigators.
They cast up against medicine the
fact, admitted by all, that cancer is
on the increase, forgetting that this
may be due in part to the saving of
life in the early years, the result of
which is that more live to reach the
cancer age.
Cancer is disease of middle or
advanced life; and If more people
live to the time when they are liable
to suffer from cancer, it is evident
that more will suffer from the dis
ease.
Medical science has discovered the
cause Of the mode of propagation OF
malaria and yellow fever, and has
freed, or made'it possible to free, the
tropical regions of the world from
these terrible scourges. 1t has dis
covered a remedy which has robbed
diphtheria of most of its terrors, and
another which has reduced the NOR
tality of cerebrospinaE meningitis
from eighty to twenty-five per cent,
and promises to reduce it even fur
Their, and to do away with the terrible
sequels of the disease which formerly
made recovery almost worse than
death. 1t has not yet conquered tu-
berculosis, but it is in a fair way to
do so, and, what is more, it is teach
ing the public how to avoid the dis.
ease.
1t has not yet solved the problem
Of cancer. That IL will do 50, how.

CAUSE OF CERTAIN DREAMS.

Every dream, like every laugh or
tear, has its cause" said the psychol-
ogist. Every well known type of
dream has a cause equally well
known.
You dream, for instance, that you
are in church, or at the theatre, or
on the street, with hardly any clothes
on you, and you nearly die of shame.
The bed coverings falling off is the
cause Of the dream,
you dream that a dog has bitten
you or an enemy has given you a stab
with knife. Some slight pain-a
cramp, a touch Of rheumatism-is be-
hind all such dreams.
"Innumerable persons dream of
flying. Time and again they dream
this dream. 1t is because the respira-
ton Of sleep, the great, deep, billowy
breaths, rising and falling rhythmic
ally, are so akin TO flying that they
bring visions of 1t to the sleeper's
mind.
IAN uncomfortable position in the
bed causes dreams of painful effort,
Of unendurably hard work, like noun
tain climbing or the lifting of heavy
weights.
Il say nothing of the mental causes
of dreams, since we all know well
enough that the things We talk or
think about awake are apt to be
talked and thought about that night
in sleep. New York Press.

necks straight up and watched with
their bright eyes for an enemy. An

TO DANCE THE "AERoNETTE. !"

The "Aeronette" or aeroplane dance
is the up-to-date dance this season.
It originated in France, and some Of
the American dancing masters are
teaching it to their pupils.
Here is the correct method OF dane
ing the aeronette, as described by the
inventor;
1. The aeroplane goes quickly over
the ground while gaining speed for
the ascent.
The dancers, with arms out
stretched, bend slightly forward and
gallop six times.
2. The aeroplane pauses lightly
and goes off into the air.
The dancers raise the arms first
on one side, then on the other, while
raising and bending the knees and
taking two steps; this is the balance
Of the planes; now make six turns
("Boston step" then balance for two
steps and take six turns Of the Dos
ton" again. Repeat this six times.
The movements should be very
smooth, suggesting the skimming
through the air, and balance of body,
arms and feet in perfect unison. A
single jerk will spoil the whole IL
fusion.
8. Descent Of the aeroplane.
The last movement of the dance is
slow gliding forward, the bodies
bent forward, the hands unclasped
pointing toward the ground in front
and raised at the back. Six steps
are taken in this position and the
dance is over, 1t is the second move
ment which, like the fight of the
aeroplane, can be continued as long
as desired. New York Journal.
