The Seals Marvellous Instinct.

The instinct of the seal is marvellous.
1t will leave its young on the ice in
the morning and, going down through
a hole, remain away all day swim
ming in search of food. Returning in
the evening, 1t viii locate its offspring
in the same patch among hundreds
Of thousands of other baby seals not
withstanding that the ice may have
wheeled or drifted fifty or sixty miles
during the day from wind and tide
and notwithstanding that the patch
may extend thirty or forty miles from
one end to the other. Whether this
instinct is of the class that enables
the bird without any mark or chart in
forest with millions of trees alike to
find its way back with ease and preci-
sion to its nest do not know, but it
is one of those wonders in nature
before which human knowledge Is
brought to a full stop.-Sir Edward
Morris in Wide World Magazine.

Great Men Tall and Short

A recent investigator has attempted
to show that Lombroso and his follow
ers were wrong in asserting that men
of genius were Of small stature. OF
230 individuals of eminence he found
that figures were obtainable for 1O3;
Of these sixteen were Of middle height,
ffty-eight above and twenty-nine be-
low.
Americans particularly combined
greatness with inches. Jefferson and
Jackson were more than six feet tall
Sumner was six feet four inches, and
Washington, Lincoln and Beecher were
more than six feet. Among famous
foreigners Tolstoy was a large man,
and so were Thackeray, Bismarck and
Darwin.
On the contrary, many of the worlds
greatest geniuses were understood and
even deformed Napoleon, Poe, Pope
Alexander the Great, Nelson, Blake
and Caesar were small men.
After all is said, genius is no re
specter of rules.-New York American

Wasbino Your Hands.

When you go to the washstand and
carefully wash your hands with gen
erous application of soap and hard
brush do not think for an instant that
your hands are clean. The tenacious
microbe refuses to be disturbed and
clings to the flesh throughout the
whole operation. There are some chem
ical compounds which will dislodge
the busy bacilli to a certain extent,
but not entirely. According to the In
vestigations of medical authority of
the Prussian army, the best results in
the direction Of giving the hands a
sanitary cleaning are accomplished by
the Sc of alcohol A bath of pure
alcohol will remove about 80 per cent
Of the germs Where it is desired to
clean the hands hygienically 1t is rec
commended that the hands be not first
washed with water, for this will so
aduiterate the alcohol that it cannot
accomplish it's work as effectively as
otherwise.

The famous hymn beginning "God
moves in mysterious way" known
as "Cowper's Hymn" had its ori-
gin as follows: Cowper was all his
life the victim of melancholia and
more than once attempted suicide
One day, bent upon destroying himself,
he got into cab and ordered the
driver to take him to certain point
on the river where he intended to
drown himself. The cabman, noticing
his strange appearance and feeling
that all might not be right with him,
drove him about the city and finally
stopped in front Of the poets door.
Stepping out and recognizing the old
familiar surroundings and shocked at
the thought of his narrow escape,
Cowper exclaimed, God moves in q
mysterious way his wonders to per-
FORM" and. rushing in, Immediately
composed the immortal hymn.

Doing Chores.

There is no time in the year when
there is cessation from toll on a farm.
It is different in winter; that is all.
The days are shorter, the work
rougher OF course much depends
upon the character of the farm. Con-
siderable leisure is possible where few
cattle are kept and general trucking
done. But always there are the
chores" A remarkably elastic express
sios that-"doing chores" 1t may
mean much or little. Some dairy farm
ers, for instance, whose serious bust
ness In life is milking cows, may pot
ter around the farm after the morn
ing's milking and, taking the mornings
milk to the creamery or railroad sta
ton, eat their noon dinners, mend some
fence, look over the harness or haul
out manure, potter around some more
and then say, "Guess it's about time
to do the chores" meaning to milk
two dozen cows or so-the real hard
work Of the ay.-Philadelphia Press.
