Tha bloody Hand.

The noted English family Of the
Holtes has for its badge a bloody hand.
and this sinister badge commentaries
n wager that ended in crime. Sir
Thomas Holte one day in 1912 was
hunting. He invited his comrades
home with him to dinner, and as he
rode along he made heavy bet on his
cooks punctuallty. But the cook fail
ed him for once. When he got home
dinner was not ready. The jeers Of
his companions at this failure, together
with his huge loss in the matter Of the
wager, enraged him so that he ran into
the kitchen, seized cleaver and split
the cooks head open with 1t. After
ward his family, to keep this crime
alive, adopted for its crest the bloody
hand Of the cook killer.

Salt Water Bathinu.

DR.. Copeman of Brighton. England,
writing In the Practitioner, London,
gives some advice on sea bathing.
"The best time to bathe is about two
hours after breakfast. the period Of
greatest vital activity" says Dr. Cope
man. THE one time which must be
avoided by all is after a full meal.
During the process Of digestion the
vessels Of the internal organs are al
ready engorged with blood. and the
shock Of the cold water is apt to pro-
duce very dangerous condition of
congestion, the least Of many penalties
that may accrue being an acute attack
of Indigestion. With many keen bath
ers 1t is an article of faith to bathe
before breakfast. But business men,
after months Of unremitting toll, those
who are below par or who are getting
on in years, should avoid taxing their
system by bathing at such a time.
Even the most robust would be wise
to partake Of cup of hot milk before
leaving the house."

manufactured commercially for $500
years. Salt is so necessary to ex-
istence that in some parts of the world
tribes will sell the members Of their
families In exchange for salt. Salt has
been the cause of wars. and so I'M
portant has 1t always been considered
that In some places the passing of
salt is established rs token Of friend
ship. and women throw salt on Wis
itor as a friendly greeting. In some
countries salt is so scarce that 1t Is
obtained through the ashes Of grasses
and species of palm and other plants.
While salt is produced in almost every
country in the world, IT is stated that
nowhere can salt of such purity be
obtained at anything like the cost for
mining as in louisiana Manufacture

seernt Baseball sianals.

Perhaps you never realized that
there Is an exact science in coaching
and signaling" says Hugh $. Fuller
ton, writing on the secret tricks of
baseball coaching in the American
Magazine: that the two men out there
near first and third bases. who seem
to be making fools of themselves or
trying to annoy the majestic man in
blue serge, are the wigwag men sig
mailing to runners or batters just what
the general sitting on the bench wants
them TO try to do. Sometimes the gen.
eral is on the lines himself. looking
just as foolish as the wigwag men or
more so, but somewhere. hidden in his
meaningless or hackneyed phrases or
his wild gestures. there is a meaning.
He Is telling the batter not to hit the
next ball or to bunt it or informing
him that the next will be a straight
fast ball and at the same time inform
ing the base runner that the batter in
tends to hit and that he must start
at top speed when the pitcher starts to
wind up"

An Eskimo's Dwellinu.

We do not look for any great amount
Of inventive genius among the Eski-
mos, but for years they have employed
a rather complete respirator. used in
the preparation and taking Of vapor

rator is little basket woven of twist
ed strands of fine grass 1t is placed
with its shallow side against the
mouth, and a wooden peg, which
arises from the center of the basket,
is held between the teeth. For this
purpose water is evaporated over a
big fire in very low hut, which is
tightly closed to keep in the heat. In
this sitting atmosphere the employ

The croeodiIes pived.

The cunning Of wild animals in con.
cealing themselves In moments Of
danger is well known. A party, spend
ing week on the Nile, were watching
eight or ten crocodiles summing them
selves on the surface Of a small la
goon. II was determined to trap these
monsters. if possible. The water was
breast deep, including about two feet
or more Of heavy mud. Four nets
were tied together, so as to make one
long enough to reach across the lagoon,
and this was weighted on the bottom.
This net was drawn with long poles
from each shore. and behind the net
came line Of men yard apart, prod
ding the mud with poles. The scheme
looked like an admirable one, but the
crocodiles sleepily dived. and that was
the last seen of them. The water was
dragged backward and forward, but
they had burrowed so deeply in the
mud that not one could he found,

HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
Arc You Too Thin7

There is no better way to
keep thin than by constantly
looking for something to worry
about. First Of all you must
learn to take life a little cas-
ier." See the funny things and
the pleasant things and just for
get the others. When you have
established this habit then try
the daily dose Of olive oil about
two hours after your noon meal.
Take a glass Of hot milk at bed
time and another In the middle
Of the afternoon. Do not boil
the milk. Just get II hot and
sip 1t slowly instead Of drinking
It down as you would cold milk.
Do not forget also that you
must always have plenty Of
fresh air to breathe. Vltiated
air will burn up the flesh you do
gain very quickly.
