came flying backwards and landed in
q heap on both of them.
Several of the other passengers
Were Just returning from breakfast
and they were shot and scattered all
over the car as If great chain OF hu-
man beads had burst.
Women screamed, men yelled, and
then while they were still struggling
against the seats and one another, the
train came to halt.
THANK God, We stopped in time!"
Mallory gasped, as he tried to olsen
gage himself and Marjorie from Kath-
leen.
The passengers began to regain
their courage with their equilibrium.
Little Jimmie Wellington had flown
the whole length Of the car, clinging
to his wife as II she were Francesca
da Rimini, and he Paolo, fitting
through Inferno. The flight ended at

The passengers stopped laughing at
Marjorie, to laugh at the porter. Ash

Everybody roared at this, till the
porter finally managed to articulate:

BABIES UNDER THE SPOUT.
In Simla They Water tho Youngsters
to Keen Them Quiet.

In simla They Water tho Youngsters
to Keep Them Quiet.
The native mothers in the neighbor-
hood of Simla, in India, have curious
practice of putting their babies heads
under a spout Of water in order to
send the youngsters to sleep and to
keep them quiet. When q new cart
road was made some years ago in the
locality mentioned there was halting
place, where rows of such children
might be seen In q grove close to the
road.
The water of q hill spring was so
adjusted as TO furnish series of lit
tie spouts, each about the thickness
Of ones little finger. Opposite each
spout was a kind OF earth pillow and
a little trough to carry away the wa
ter. Each child was SO laid that one
of the water spouts played on the top
of its head, and the water then ran off
into the trough.
An English official test1ies that the
process was most successful. There
never were such quiet and untrouble-
some babies as those under the spouts.
The people were unanimous In assert
ing that the water did the children no
harm, but that, on the contrary, II
benefited and invigorated them. In
fact, they seemed to think that child
not subjected to this process must
grow up soft Drained and Of little &C.

Is Woman Too Fresh?

Woman is no longer the salt Of the
earth; man Is. according to the latest
discoveries of science as chronicled In
the Paris Matin. Not since Lots wife
has woman had enough chloride OF
sodium in her makeup. and that is the
explanation of her general inferiority
to man. Woman. says science. Is too
fresh. The newest conclusion of the
laboratory is that the physical and
mental development of human being
depends on the percentage of salt In
the blood. The blood Of the man has
more salt than the blood of the woman.
and for that reason woman can never
expect to equal the sterner sex In
physical force. reason or intelligence.
There Is in the Mathis scientific dis
cussion but one redeeming assertion in
favor of womanhood-that Is. that
since her facial angle is nearer to that
of the higher animals than mans Is.
for that reason her senses are duller
and pain hurts her less than 1t hurts
her salty and more intelligent brother.

It has been said. mot one girl In q
thousand knows the origin of the friend
of her childhood, Cinderella"
Her real name was Rhodope, and
she was a beautiful Egyptian maiden
who lived go years before the COM
mon era and during the reign OF one
of the twelve kings Of Egypt. One
day Rhodope ventured to battle In a
clear stream near her home, leaving
her shoes, which were very small, ly-
Ing on bank. An eagle, passing
above, caught sight of the little san
dals and, mistaking them for tooth
some tidbit, bounced down and ear,
ried off one in his beak.
The bird unwittingly played the part
of fairy godmother, for, flying over
Memphis, where the king was dis
pensing justice, it let the shoe fall di-
rectly at the kings feet Its size,
beauty and daintiness Immediately at
tracted the royal eye, and the king de-
termined to know the wearer of so
cunning shoe.
Messengers were sent through ell
the kingdom in search Of the foot that
1t would fit. Rhodope was finally dis
covered, the shoe placed on her foot,
and she was carried In triumph to
Memphis, where she became the queen
Of King Psammeticus.

Their Precious Postage Stamps.

Their Precious Postage Stamps.
A few years ago small procession
Of French troopers triumphantly es-'
corted a sergeant carrying two postage
stamps. The story of the latter is in
teresting. The sergeant, belonging to
the French contingent Of the troops OF
occupation. arrived in Crete with a
young Creole wife. whom he had mar
ried while he was serving in a French
colony. She brought him no dover in
money, but a handsome marriage por-
ton all the same. consisting Of two
postage stamps. These are rare speci-
mems Of Alauritian issues. and have
been estimated by experts as worth
f1.6OO.
The sergeant was told that their val
ue would increase. and instead of sell
ing them he had them framed and
placed his treasure in a Cretan bank.
As the time was approaching for the
departure of the troops Of occupation
he went to the bank with his wife to
withdraw his deposit. and his comrades
formed procession to escort the cou-
pie carrying home their fortune in two
postage stamps.
