SOCIAL INFlICTIONS.

| have seen men who neigh like a
horse when you contradict them or
say something they do not under
stand; then the overbold, who make
their own invitation to your hearth !;
the persevering talker, who gives
YOU his society in large, saturating
doses; the pitiers of Themselves
perilous class; the frivolous Asmo-
deus who relies on you to find him
in ropes of sand to twist; the mono
tones in short, every stri pc of ab-
surdity-these are social infections
which the magistrate cannot cure
or defend you from, and which must
be intrusted to the restraining force
of custom, and proverbs and famil-
lar rules of behavior impressed on
young people in their school days.

Has Every Girl a Chance to Wed?

wonder II there are many girls who had but Slen-
der chances OF meeting man who might prove a
desirable sweetheart or husband? | have been in

chance Of matrimony; but of late various Cir

Every girl should be able to meet nice young men
as matter of course. Most people will agree with
this and it is enough to say the difficulty is to devise
practical means by which both sexes may meet in
some open and natural way.
1t seems to me that the ministers of different de-
nominations are in position to do more in this di-
rection than any other folks. They do certain a.
mount but they could do such lot more. From
the very nature Of their position ministers command
confidence, and for great difficulties in
the way of their promoting continuous series of in
expensive social entertainments suitable to the sea-
son of the year. The civic authorities could also do
a big lot in bringing young people together The
money spent in banquets to afew Well-off elderly
people would do far more for general happiness if

AVIATOR CORD AND WIRE.

The arrival of the aeroplane has
given US new industry, or rather
modification of an old one, namely,
that of manufacturing aviator cord
and aviator wire. The Roeblings
have devised special kind of wire
aviator cord to be used for stays on
aeroplanes. The cord consists of
number of fine wires of great
strength stranded together The
strength of the different sizes runs
approximately from 1000 to 1890
pounds For steering gear a more
flexible cord is provided, composed
of six strands of seven wires each,
with center of either cotton or
wire. The aviator wire differs from
aviator cord in that il consists of
single wire instead Of a number of
wires twisted together The wire
is made in u sizes, with a breaking
strength that varies from 1900
pounds to Scientific American.

BEAUTY DOCTORS NEW BUG
Discovers That Woman's Good Looks
Are Regulated Largely by
Thermometer.

The photographers schedule was
~disarranged half an hour because it
took that long to get the studio ex-

"And the thermometer had TO reg
lister just that before the woman who
made an appointment for three
o'clock would consent to pose," he
srid. 'Women who sit for photo
graphs are very particular nowadays
about the temperature of the room.
Beauty doctors have discovered that
a woman's good looks are regulated
largely by the thermometer. There
is certain degree of heat or cold
at which every woman looks her 5est.
BY experimenting the beauty spe-
cialist has found the becoming tenn

PERIL OF VOLCANIC WAVES
Few Dangers More Dreaded by Sdt
ors Than Seismic Disturb
ances az Sea.

Occasionally there appears a great
wave sweeping across the calm sur
face of the ocean in the fairest
weather and when no wind is blow
ing. There are Few perils of the
sea to be more dreaded than such
wave. - Fortunately these are very
rare, yet more than once a ship has
encountered one.
The cause of these singular waves
is believed to be some disturbance
of volcanic nature at the bottom of
the sea. Volcanoes exist in the
ocean as well as on land; in fact,
nearly all the volcanoes known are
On or near the sea coast. 1t is easy
to see that an upheaval at the sea
bottom may start billow at the
surface of the water, when we re-
member that huge waves have been
sent clear across the Pacific ocean to
San Francisco BY volcanic shakings
of the earth on the borders of Asia.
The world under water is not
only three times as extensive as that
which is covered only with air, but
it possesses many of the same great
natural phenomena on a scale which
is perhaps proportionately vast, but
of whose existence We are made
aware only by such indications as
the volcanic ocean waves that ships
OCCASIONALLY encounter.

Just in long trousers and home from

none of the responsibilities Of being

Charley was a gscst at a party OF
girls and boys of his own age, and
had been seated at table beside a
little miss who failed to catch his
name and did not recognize him.
They became sufficiently interested
in each other to make her wish to
know his name.
"What is your name?" she rg,.
pounded frankly.
Charley was the somcwi

This satisfied the little gir

'Where do you live?"

the answer to this. II was true, for
the White House is located on this
thoroughfare.
"What does your father do?" pur-
sued tie young lady in a further at
tempt to place her escort, to which
Charley naively replied:

here in Washington"

young lady finally learned that she
