In a certain degree impure thoughts

Mold DESTROYS inhalation.

1t may be OF value to inexperienced
electricians to know that nothing de-
stroys rubber insulation of wires so
quickly as common mold. Moisture
has little effect, and wires have been
known to keep their covering intact
for many weeks lying in a bed Of
moist iron rust, but failed in a minute
or so when brought into contact with
mold. A house that is painted before
the walls are entirely dry is likely to
abound in mold, and the only tempo
rary preventive of immediate d%eteriora.
ton Is carbolic acid. and even this
does not serve to ave the insulation
unless constantly applied.

0kdpi. Relative
Of Giraffe, Is
Finally Found

|AYEW YORK CITY Is soon to
have m okapi family on ex.
in hibition. the first specimens of
this rare animal to be seen in
America. Mr.. and Mrs. Okapt and
their offspring are not alive. but they
will be mounted in a lifelike manner
and will be shown at the Museum Of
Natural History surrounded BY trees
and shrubs brought from their ma
tive African jungle. which will thus
give an accurate idea Of the appear.
nee of the strange beasts.
The okapi was first heard Of after
Henry NJ. Stanley's return from A.
RIGA. He was told Of the animal by
dwarf tribes he encountered in the
unexplored regions of the Kongo. They
described the beast with fair accuracy
and greatly excited the explorers Gu.
riosity. He tried in vain to get a
glimpse Of one Of the animals. which
the natives called "o'api." the apos.
trophe standing for a gasping. aspi-
rated sound in the native dialect which
has no duplicate in the English Ian
guage.
AS described to Stanley the okapi
was a kind of red headed horse which
had the legs of a zebra and which
lived in the dense forest where wild
horses and ZebraS are never found.
The peculiar horse. the dwarfs told
Stanley, had a dun colored or some
times a dark gray back and a black
and white striped stomach and legs.

To maintain ones self respect ne-
cessitates neatness and cleanliness Of
person, and this goes far toward win
ming the respect Of others.
No one can help a feeling Of disgust
at u%ntidiness, and, moreover, want OF
cleanliness breeds disease. Cleanli-
ness Is the first law Of health. But,
above all. u~ncleanliness Is to lose ones
W self respect as well as to be an
object of disgust to others. Be not
only neat in externals, but more so in
what is concealed from view. 1t is
in cleanliness and neatness that self
respect is most fostered.
Nikola Tesla says: Every one
should consider his body as a price

Moravian clothing. The suit, with the
exception Of the boots, cost exactly
$9.47, and Mr.. Holmes says it Is Of
the best quality. The sleeves are
made double, and as the plating is
about three inches deep they are CON-
paratively compact.
This garb is the usual wear in Mo-
ravia, though. Of course, the garments
are not always so spick and span.
But after an outfit has served its pur-
pose as Sunday raiment it is adopted
for everyday use and is worn into the
field or other places of employment.
Portions Of the Moravian costume,
as will be seen by the picture, are
beautifully embroidered. so the Mora
Wan dandies have the opportunity to
exercise their individual taste in the
selection of their outfits.

There was genuine good time ex-

planned the usual class rushes. The
fun was generously INDUCED in until

having good time"
The members of the faculty, who

The ladies of the faculty, who are

There are less Offices designated
