Hungry School Children.

Sixteen young women of the Junior
League, headed by Mrs. Rayard Litch-
field who have been investigating dur
ing the last two months conditions in
twelve Brooklyn schools in regard to
the nourishment of the children, have
made their reports 10 the bureau of
charities,
The young women went in pairs to
twelve schools and submitted formulat-
ed questions to the principals and in
turn to the teachers. These were
among the questions:
How many children get milk for
breakfast?
How many tea or coffee and bread
How many receive money from their
parents TO buy luncheon
How many receive penny and how
many more2"
1t WAS found that in some of thE
schools large percentage of the chill
aren go home to their lunch and thai
about one quarter of the children re-
ceve a cent or more to spend OF

Old Ace Only a Ruu.

1t seems that according to most re-
cent discoveries old age is not a nat
ural result of years, but is a microhe.
At least this is claimed by the
scientist Metchnikoff of the Pasteur
Institute in Paris.
II is not necessary that people
should feel hurdened with years and
grow feeble and exhausted as the
months roll into years. All that is
due to a mierobe in the body. and
when science can once discover the
antitoxin which can successfully COM
bat the poisonous effects of the
microbe, we can live on, perhaps not
longer, but without any discomfort un-
til the end comes He bases his
theory on his observations of mann
mails as compared with birds.
A dog or horse. for instance, shows
distinct signs of senility. They grow
feeble and decrepit and break down in
every way. But birds do not. 4
duck that is 20 years old shows no
signs of advanced age. Parrots re-
main for long years in a youthful
state and retain their brilliant plum
age. In the case of parroquet,
which, according to reliable informa-
ton is 20 to 10 years old, it is i'm
possible to recognize old age. SO en-
tirely normal is its appearance and 50
easy it's movements.
The cause, it is claimed, lies in the
difference in the intestines in NAM
mails and birds. The latter are 50
built that the microbes which are so
abundant in the intestines of the
mammals do not or cannot accumu-
late in the bird. In the mammal they
increase from year to year, and the
toxic effect from these intestinal
sources produces the phenomena
which we call "old age."-Chicago
Tribune.

Living Mud.

Carl G. Fisher the chairman of the
movement for an ocean to ocean
motor road, said the other day in New
York:
I'VE need god roads, dear knows.
/ have seen roads in this country that
remind me of the living mud of China.
In China, during the rainy season,
the amount of mud in certain mari
time provinces is Incredible and APP
palling. 1t is, in fact, as much as two,
three and even four feet deep. Tour
lists say that to see wagons and mel
and animals, pushing through this
brown and vicious mud is as ugly q
sight as can We'll be imagined
But there's. a sight more horrible
still-the sight of the living mud.
Sometimes, as you stand on the edge
of one of these awful expanses the
mud begins to move. 1t rises up and
down. 1t forms itself into strange
mounds. 1t is like a great cauldron of
witches stew. AS you puzzle over the
ugly spectacle, the hideous forms of a
dozen land crabs, coated thick with
mud, emerge near you. A dozen more
toll painfully forth on your right, an
other dozen on your left. And then
you understand. This cauldron oi
moving living mud is due to thousands
of great land crabs wallowing in it
depths. ."-Schnectady Union.

only tea or coffee and bread. From
these figures the committee concludes
that of the entire army of school chill
dren in Brooklyn thirty thousand go
to school in the morning insufiiciently
nourjshed and one thousand without
any breakfast.
The facts gathered in this investiga-
ton will be presented to the board OF
education with a request that ii ask
the board of estimate for suffieieht
money to equip at least half dozen
schools in Brooklyn with facilities Tor
school lunches.
Mrs. T.. Cox, chairman of the schoei
lunch committee. and secretary OF the
local school board. says that the reason
why children so TO school on llsht
luncheons is partly because OF the lS
norance of parents, partly because Oh
poverty and often because of the hurry
of the children.

Ancient Mural Decorations.

1t is probable that the earliest wall
paintings were those of the Egyptians.
Those people employed a distemper
containing dissolved gum, and their
principal pigments were white chalk
vegetable yellow, ochres, Ethiopian
cinnabar, blue powdered glass stained
with copper and charcoal black.
The walls of Assyrian and Baby
lonian dwellings, were treated in much
the same way, and the practice of
painting on walls coated with plaster
was certainly in vogue in Assyria.
1t has been believed that the Greeks
understood true fresco work. appar-
entity on the strength of a phrase oc.
curing in Plutarch, ito paint on a
wet ground" Vitruvius also speaks
of wet ground and says that colors
placed upon surface so prepared are
permanent, which certainly is char
acteristic of true fresco work.-Harp-

One-Cent Postage.

We never open days mail without
nieing informed that there is tremen-
dous popular demand for something
or ether that we have been regarding
as quite negligible. If we believed all
the letters and circulars we should
have to imagine the entire population

retual mass meeting, formulating de-
mands, but we do not believe them
For instance, we do not believe there
is any popular demand for one-cent

About one-third of all the letters in the

Office department even now ~ b9rely

cut in half il would be necessary to in
crease rates on other classes of mail,
which increase would be borne by the
public. or there would be a big deficit
in postal revenues, which deficit would
be paid by the public. Postal rates in
the United States now are the cheapest
in the world when distances are con-
sdered..
The rural per capita expenditure for
letter postage is about 30 cents a wear.

Dr. Holiness idea lies in that-that
none of us has only one thing to do in
this world. Young men must work, of
course, and that is the most important;
but they have also to live, to derive
enjoyment and satisfaction from life,
to be citizens and exercise the citizen S
rights and, in most cases, to be hus-
bands and fathers.
Dr. Holmes says that all the things
worth while in material existence he
taught himself after he left college.
That is in no way remarkable. 1t is
probably true of most college men. 1t
is common thing to hear graduates
say that they doubt if they could again
pass their entrance examinations; and
we know OF man who entered with
Greek who is not quite sure
now about his Greek alphabet. But
how much did DR.. Holiness college ed
ucation help him to teach himself after
he left college? 1t must have been a
great deal. Without the culture he got
at college, he would probably not have
been so quick learner or 50 good a
teacher. Possibly his college training
did not teach him what to do, but it
enabled him to learn what to do and to
do it well.--New Bedford Evening
