Suppose ali of Harriman's. trans

what could be accomplished by the
indomitable viii and purpose and

asked. Can't our boys find some
thing else to inspire them than the
hope Of beating another boy? II a
boy can ride his horse over tho
fences, and swim across the lake,
and run swiftly, and hit the mark,
and feel his pulse beat strong and
true, and his nerves and muscles I'M

ThE BEAVERS MEMORY

Memory handed down through 30
generations is one of the perplexing
facts Of science. The beaver -four
ished along French rivers until
killed off for its fur, but is now
known only IN ahout Dozen NJ its
villages ON the RhOne near Ayignon.
For three centuries these villages
have had no trees to cut down for
dams. The animals were compelled
to adopt a new mode of life, and
have burrowed in the banks, shaping
mud with their tails as usual. Re-
Gently some Of them were taken BY
Polish count 10 forests ON his es.
tates. Very strangely, they resumed
the habits dropped three centuries
before they were born, and. at once
began cutting trees and building
dams.

A GREAT MEDICAL TRIUMPH
{ .sIielng OF The ProboscIs Of Mosquito
to Get at Maisrlsl Germs
In Italy.

In The history Of research erl
many romancea. OF the discover,
that malaria wss caused by mos.
quitoes i' is related how Doctor Low
and Doctor Sombo lived in the ma
larious Roman Campsgna without
quinine. they retired at sunset 10
a mosquito-proof hut, with double
doors and windows Of wire net an
they did not leave until sunrise. The
fact that they remained immune
while the attendants sleeping out
side contracted malaria confirmed
the belief that the mosquitoes were
responsible. But how did they carry
the disease? At first it was thought
to be by'water.
To settle the question live mos
quitoes which had bitten infected
peasants, were obtained, and two
members Of the school submitted to
be bitten by them. They both went
down with malaria. Again, how did
the mosquitoes transmit the germ +?
BY cutting sections of the proboscis
the malarious parasite was found. It
breaks through the skin Of the pro-
boscis and is transmitted at the time
Of the sting. From the first coniec-
ture to the final proof was a series Of
careful experiments, ending with
slicing of the mosquitoes proboscis.
Now this is finer than fine hair. II
is necessary to stop 70 think. For
it is easier TO imagine the triumph
of the proof than the delicate opera
ton that produced it.

JUST ASK THE BARBER.

Some one has written that the bar

omethinC far more intimate also.
The barber is the confdant and
scandal monger Of no mean stand
ing. One day ia the barber shop
will prove 70 all who may wish to
find out that nine out Of every ten
men will tell all his family and
other troubles to the one who is
shaving him. 1t seems that the pres
sure of the cold and treacherous ra-
zor blade acts as a confidence slim
ulator." The man in the chair fair
" overfows with his troubles, be
they small or large, disagreements
with his '1ife partner" or the too
strenuous attentions Of some one
who is trying TO land him in the web
of matrimony.
Any barber has in the back Of his
Uranium enough of scandal gathered
from the "chair" conversations o.
his customers TO ill several books
Were the barber, as class, maj
given to silence, it would not be S,
bad, but he isn't and his example il
garrulity seems to be contagious.
