Keeping tho Actors Clean.

Some years ago. when playing in
Leeds. started a swimming compe-
tition among the members Of my COM
pany and to encourage them offered
as a prize a silver loving cup (won.
by the way, by the late Edward Lon
nen). The event apparently created
some interest in the town. and a friend
heard two men engage in a discussion
as follows:
First Mani say, burst tosknow this

Explosives In Your Body.


The human body contains no fewer
than four substances which are so in.
flammable that in pure state they
will ''go off, by spontaneous combus-
ton, For instance, there is phospho-
rus. The body of a person weighing
120 pounds contains 4; twenty-five
ounces of this substance, which. as
everybody knows, readily takes fire of
its own accord if exposed to the air
1t is combined with lime to make the
bones. taking the form of phosphate
lime. The body of a human being
weighing 120 pounds contains nearly
one and half ounces of magnesium.
two ounces Of sodium and nearly two
and half ounces of potassium: The
first of these. substance Of silvery
whiteness, Is so readily aud fiercely
combustibe that it has to be; kept
tightly corked in bottles to prevent it
from igniting, of it's own accord. So.
dunn will take FIRE If thrown into
water. and so likewise will potassium

exploding and throwing a shower of
sparks into the air.-New York World.

THE ANNlHILATlON OF VICE.

After exhaustive investigation. the
Chicago Vice Commission has made
its report which contains some
things valuable to the general public
for ifthe recommendations contained
therein were carried out it would
only be question of the time until
vice was reduced to minimum,
while many of the dire results Of our
present system of handling the social
evil would be promptly checked. '~'--
The commission takes UP the con.
tributing causes of this evil and
classified them as follows;
Want of the necessities of life,
Craving for simple luxuries, ignorance,
broken promises, deceit of men; but
chief of all~-poverty. Lack of pro.
lection to immigrant girls aids the
evil, the report says, and lake steam.
ers with no regulations are fruitful
sources of victims. Lack of proper
psy for working girls is assaulted at
great length in bitter terms and is
called the chief reason why; young
girls fail to resist temptations placed
in their path. II! HlII ~ (
The causes are summed up thus:
Lack of ethical and religious teach
ing; economical stress on underpaid
workers; large number of seasonal
trades for women, leaving periods of
the year with no employment;
abnormality; unhappy home condi.
tons; careless and ignorant parents;
broken promises; love of ease and
luxury, craving for excitement and
change; ignorance of hygiene"
In drawing its deduction as to the
remedies to be applied the commits.
sion has this TO say:
instruction of children III to Is
years old in sex hygiene; by person
al attention of parents; physical ex-
animation of applicants for marriage
licenses; better pay for girls; abolish.

Moss troopers was the name given
to the desperate ,plunderers and rob-
bers who secreted themselves through
out the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turtles in the ''''mosses" on the borders
of Scotland. These outlaws were
largely made up of deserters and Grim
tnals from the armies of England and
the continent. and their depredations
and cruelties were the terror of the re-
gion infested by them. Many severe
laws were passed against them, but
they were not fairly extirpated until
the eighteenth century.

With growing despair Cummins saw his
own efforts fail. AS the days passed Me-
lisse mingled more and more with the In
dian and half-breed children, and spent
much of her time at the company's store.
listening to the talk Of the men, silent,
attentive. unresponsive to any efforts they
might make to engage her smiles. From
her own heart she looked out upon a
world that had become q void for her.
Jan had been mother. brother and every
thing that was tender and sweet to her
and he was gone. Mukee. whom she had
loved. was gone. Williams was gone.
The world was changed. terribly and sud
denly, and 1T added years to her perspec-
tive of things.
the spring sun began to soften the snow.
she became a little more like the Wild
children at Lac Balm and In the forest.
For Jan she had kept her hair soft and
bright. because he praised her for it and
told her 1t was pretty. Now it hung In
tangles down her back.
There came a night when she forgot her
prayer and Cummins did not notice 1t.
He failed to notice it the next night and
the next. Plunged deep in his own gloom,
SO that in place of laughter and joy and
merry rompings, only gloomy and OPP
pressive shadows Of things that had come
and gone filled the life of the little cabin.
They were eating dinner one day in the
early spring, with the sunshine flooding
in upon them, when a quick, low football
caused Melissa to lift her eyes in the d.
rection Of the open door. A strange fig
ure stood there, with bloodless face. star
ing eyes and garments hanging In tatters
but its arms were stretched out, as
those same arms had been held out to her
q thousand times before, and, with the
old glad cry. Melissa darted with the
swiftness Of q sun shadow beyond Cum
minis. crying:
Jan, Jan-my JAM"
Words choked in Cummins throat when
he saw the white-faced figure clutching
Melissa to its breast.
At last he gasped JAM" and threw out
his arms. so that both were caught in
their embrace.
For an instant Jan turned his face up
to the light. The other stared and under
stood.
You have been SICK" he said, but it
has left no marks"
'sThank God!" breathed Jan.
Melissa raised her head and stroked his
cheeks with her two hands. That night
she remembered her prayer ana at its end
she added:
"Dear Father in heaven, thank You for
sending back JanI'
