COMPLIED With the Conditions.

The monOtony of the London postal
officials daily routine is frequently
broken by the peculiar whims and
caprices of eccentric members of the
public with whom he is from time TO
time brought in contact.
A lady once sent to her son a pair
of trousers by book post, which is
cheaper than parcel post. The postal
officials wrote to her: CLOTHES cannot
be sent by book post. If you will re-
fer to the POstoffice Guide you will
see under what conditions articles may
be sent by book post" After a few
days the lady replied, Il have looked
in the POstoffice Guide and find that
articles which are open at both ends
may be sent by book post. and if
trousers are not open at both ends |
should like to know what is."-LOndon

Willing TO Divide.

An American newspaper correspond
ent who followed the government ar
my in a revolution in a Latin Ameri-
can country tells a story about an
experience that he had with the gen
eral commanding the division. The
correspondent observed that in every
town that the troops invaded they
would help themselves to everything
that was not nailed. screwed or an
chOred down. This did not appeal to
the Americans ideas of the rules Of
war, and he reported the misd0ings
of the soldiers to the commander.
'That is selfish" said the latter in
dignantly. I will see to it that when
we reach the next town you will have
the first chance"
The correspondent confined himself
thereafter to the writing of copy.

The Art of Embalmind.

The modern embalmers have not re-
covered the secret of the art as prac-
ticed by the old Egyptians and prob
ably never will. Some Of the bodies
known to us as ''mummies" buried
5000 or 1000 years ago are still in a
state Of perfect preservation. Back
of the ancient art lay a religious creed.
The ancient Egyptian believed that
after many thousands Of years the
soul came back to find its body and
that if it was not found the soul wan
dered forever in misery and wretched-
ness; herce it was absolutely neces-
sary to preserve the body, and hence,
finally. the embalmer's art.-New York

THEY SCRUB EACH OTHER.
Daily Bath of the Little Pupils In the
Public Schools of Copen-
hagen.

Denmark is one of the cleanest lit
tie countries imaginable. In a Copen-
hagen public school one may see an
interesting sight. Mounting the spot
less stone staircase to the first flight,
every morning you may see at O'Clock
the children assemble and answer to
their names and then march TO
dressing room. Here they undress,
and each child neatly folds its clothes
and puts the tidy little bundle on the
floor. Then the children so into a
small square room with shelves all
around, and on these shelves are in
Vulnerable wooden tubs, such as we
use in America for washing, with two
iron bands around them. Everything
is in immaculate order. The teacher
gives each child a tub, and he or she
takes it into an immense and well
lighted wash room.
OF course the girls and boys are
washed separately, and they perform
their ab1utiOns by grades, the tiniest
ones coming first. The floor Of this
wash room is of cement, and in the
center is a latticed wooden floor. All
around the top Of the walls runs a
nickel shower pipe, the water Of which
is regulated BY the teacher Under
these showers at the height where the
small fingers can reach are little nickel
stands with soap and the stiffest hog
bFistle brushes, which make one shiV-
er. Near by is also a faucet.
Each child puts his or her tub under
the faucet and lets the necessary
amount Of water into it and proceeds
to scrub, not himself or herself, but
the child in fTOnt-a novel sight and
pretty one for a lover of children,
! But one could not help thinking what
an instrument Of torture that innocent
brush could be if the small fingers
that manipulated it did their duty
viciOusly, paying off some grudge OF
| fancied slight.
/ When all are clean the teacher turns
on the showers, and they are all thor,

Fixino the Lesson,

Parson Saunders was a little per
turbed one Sunday morning over some
worldly matter and made a mistake
in the reading of the Scriptural les
sons. He read the second lesson
where he should have read the first.
AS he neared the end of his reading
the parson saw that he was in error.
He saw that his congregation knew
he was in error. How, then, to con-
clude? To conclude in the orthodox
way-'rhere endeth the second lesson
would hardly do, as it was not the sec
ond lesson, but the first Nor, could
it, on the other hand, be called the
first lesson since properly it was the
second? ParsOn Saunders, after a mo-
ment's thought, wisely and frankly
concluded:
Here endeth the wrong lesson. -

complaint was that it was ''likely to
shade the pathway and keep it damp"

AN UNKNOWN RACE.
Traditions of the Hohokam, Who In
habited America Long Before
the indians.

In the beginning the HOhOkam dwelt
III the land. They were the first Amer
icans-before the pilgrim fathers, be-
fore the SpaniaTds, before the Indians.
They were the unknown people who
lived in the United States so long ago
that their name is utterly lost. In the
southwest old tribes of Indians like
the Zunis and NavajOs know nothing
of them save by vaguest tradition.
The Pimas and PapagOs of southern
Arizona, who occupy part of the land
that once was theirs, know that an
other race possessed the country long
ago. More they cannot tell. They
and their fathers for hundreds of
years have seen what we see-the
scanty remnants of ancient villages.
For the inhabitants of the villages
they have no name except the Hobo
kam-that is, the unknown"
The modern archaeOlOgist describes
the implements and pottery of the
HohOkam. He cannot do much more
for their houses are laid low. Except
in a few places, such as the ruins Of
Casa Grande, near the ella river, the
very walls have vanished. Casa
Grande itself may be the work of a
people later than the main body of the
IohOkam. We can never know the
whole story. Yet little by little we
may learn It's chief facts. Arizona
and the adjacent regions are full OF
ruins unknown to scientists and even
to the people who live within a mile
of them. They are so nearly Obliterat-
ed that there seems at first sight little
to repay study.
Archaeology begins the task of recon,
structing the past Geography must
finish it. Modern geography enables
us to determine the mode of life which
must prevail, especially among primi-
tive peoples, under given conditions of
physical environment. If we can cor
rectly picture the geographic environ
ment of the Hohokam we may learn
much Of the history of our earliest fel-
low cOuntrymen.-Ells Hunting

BOILERS AND BODIES.
Alike In Many Respects In the Treat

ment They Require.
The boiler has certain temperature

which it was constructed.
The body has its normal temperature.
Any variation above or below this
means too high bodily pressure or a
reduced vitality.
The fuel put into a boiler should be
that which it is designed to burn. Diff
ferently constructed boilers will not
economically burn the same fuel.
The body should receive the food it
is best able to assimilate. Diverse con-
stitutions require diverse nOurishment.
A boiler should be fired with small,
equal quantities of fuel at stated in
tervals; large masses irregularly fed
are fatal to satisfactory results.
The body should be fed similarly;
overlooking the stomach produces i'm

physical systems.

Some boilers well designed produce

der a simultaneous impulse we both
climbed down the precipice into the
canon below, and headed for the
clump of brush into which we had
seen the goat disappear. Here is
where our troubles began. for we had
to try our hand at climbing up steep
rock slide for nearly half mile. We
ran for about 20 rods and then went
into a maple clump that was nearly
as bad as the alder and willow brush
we had crawled through early in the
morning. Neil lost his hat. Then
limb of tree sprang back and struck
my forehead, knocking me into
woodchuck's den. When / came to
there was Mr. Goat sitting few yards
from me, chattering as if had plum
dered his orchard took out my Colt
revolver and settled his hash. as
thought. At the crack of the weapon
Neil came hurriedly up to see Wnat
was happening, and fell off a log he
was climbing over, and skinned MS
elbow on a rock. In the meantime the
goat hobbled up the mountalnslde ana
Law down upon a ledge of rock about
200 yards above us. The way we
went up that rock slide on all tours
would surprise a Siwash. We got up
within about IS yards of the~rock ana
Mr.. Goat stuck his head over the
ledge as much as to ask where we
came from.
Shoot him." yelled Nell.
"Shoot nothing" said I, II can't
shoot a flock of balloons him
yourself"
At this the goat thought it was his
move and hobbled off the rock, pass
ing Neil within about six feet. Neil
grabbed a handful of wool and lost
his hold. He then made another lunge
and stubbed his foot and fell fiat. and
as he fell CHANGED to grab the goats
hind leg. He was dragged for about
20 feet, yelling for help at the top OF
his voice. Finally the goat fell down
and Neil got up, still hanging on to
the leg. He managed to get his re-
volyer out, but the goat kicked and
floundered so that he could not han
die both
BY this time I had got to him and
he gave me the goats leg to hold, and
then stepped in front OF the goat to
get a shot at his head. Mr.. Goat did
not approve of that and made lunge
sideways that upset me and I was
dragged about IS feet. When I man.
aged to get right side up found that
the goat had wedged himself between
two rocks and had to stop. Here is
where we killed him at last.
