Let's see how many can tell what
kind of a hen we. have Just eaten"
All agreed it was a very good kind
but there were many guesses as to the
breed. The only child at the table, a

guessed correctly.

QUALITIES OF THE ATHLETE
Natural Training That Has Done So
Much for the Indian Will Do
More for tho American.

Glenn Warner, the coach Of the Car.
Isle Indian school athletes, says that
the great success of the young In
dams in football and other; sports Is
largely due to the fact that all the
Indian pupils have led an out-of-door
and active life before they came to
the school. This Is true, but it does
not wholly account for the very large
proportion Of successful athletes
among the small number Of Indian
students In this country. Another
and important factor is the Indian
psychology, which has for ages been
implanting In the males Of the race
precisely the qualities which make
them good competitors in sports. The
Indian brave did not work. He
played, as we should say; he hunted,
| chased game on foot, fought his enc
mics almost constantly in swift ex-
petitions on foot or in canoes, ran
races, swan races, danced; and In all
this he accustomed himself to the en-
durance Of hunger and thirst, of the
severest physical tests and Of unfiinch-
ing persistence In the attempt to
overcome something Of somebody.
Something Of the early Indian spirit
Ia needed In the development Of a
proper athletic spirit among u boys.
The Boy Scout movement, the passion
for camping and woodcraft, the canoe,
the swimming pool. will make Amert
can youths Of the future the greatest
athletes the world has ever SEEN.

seen a light among some bushes. As
Worth investigated, he observes q

but he began looking about the spot
and poking in the grass with his cane.
Mae asked him what no was looking
for. She flushed quickly when he told
her that It was for the locket wrenched
from his watch chain in his fall. which
contained her pieturs.
Mae aided him In his search, silent
and impressed. A sudden cry from
Worth brought her to his side. Crop
ing beside a big boulder, his hand
had brushed back a dense growth OF
grass and had toucled-the box OF
Jewels, where it had rolled the night
of his adventure!
Together they proceeded to the Of

Insects That Walk on Mat.r.

Insects that walk on the water by
means Of pneumatic floats are the fa-
miliar water and the pond skater spi-
der. Not many people know why they
can walk on the water. The pond
skater really walks on pneumatic
floats. There are tiny hairs on the
feet of this insect, so fine that they
cannot be seen, that are arranged TO
collect air. The amount collected in
and about these hairs is sufficient to
allow the insect to float or walk upon
the surface Of the water. AS each foot
Is put down it forms cuplike depres-
sion or tiny pit in the water The foot
does not sink because the air bubble
that has been formed is too light to let
1t. y fine covering Of hair protects the
water spider, too, and even If it is sub
merged in the water it is never really
wet The hair keeps layer of air be-
tween its body and the water. 1t looks
like white pearl when below the sur
face. The scientific name of this curl

liahtship Risks.

1t would seem that the perils of a
lightShip crew in gale exceed even
those Of a lighthouse keeper. Mr.. Tai
lot, in his "Lightships and Light
houses" gives an example of the havoc
played by one Atlantic wave in the
case of the lightship that guards the
terrible rocky fangs known as the
Seven Stones" which lie between
Lands End and the Scilly isles:
Once wave tumbled aboard, crash
ed a man against the pump, knocked
him half senseless; picked up the life
boat and threw it against the deck
house, and in so doing caught another
member of the crew, mauling his
thigh badly in passing. Two out Of
the seven men forming the crew were
thus put hors de combat by single
wave"
The lightship is a British idea, and
the first ever used was placed in the
mouth of the Thames in 1713.

Peculiar Iapanase Ritz.

Segitera temple, in the province Of
Ise, Japan, is the scene each July of
a peculiar rite dedicated to the wor-
ship of Acalanatha. the faithful serv-
ant of Buddha. The rite is known as
Il "goma" "a corruption of Sanskrit
"homa') or burning" Buddha taught
that the cause of suffering is desire,
and therefore the priests of the Shin
gOn, a Japanese sect of Buddhism. kin
die fire to consume all human desires,
ut the same time offering prayers to
Acalanatha. In one matter the rite
may be said to defeat its own ends,
for it attracts a crowd of farmers full
of desire to obtain embers or ashes
from the fire which is supposed to
have consumed all desires. The tradi-
ton Is that the possession of an ember
or ashes from the sacred fire insures Il
farmer good crops the next autumn

Salt and Fresh Water Lakes.

Fresh water lakes are always only
expansions of rivers, due to the par
Licular typographical confguration OF
A valley. They are all characterized by
the fact that the water that they re-
reive runs out either continuously or
Internationally and that the chemical
constitution Of their water remains
constantly the same as that Of the
streams and rivers of the same region.
Salt lakes, on the other hand, are al
ways closed basins. without outlet, and
their water is removed only by surface
evaporation. These facts being well
understood We see at once why the
former lakes contain fresh water and
the others salt water. Water is ma
ture's great solvent. Hardly single
substance. simple or compound, es-
capes its dissolving action. Conse.
uuently the water that flows over the
earth's surface or in its depths con-
tains constantly in solution substances
That finally accumulate in the great
common reservoir, the ocean, whose
mass. removed only by evaporation,
becomes more and more charged with
saline matter.

When Charles Kean was playing the
part of Richard the Third his fearful
grimaces almost frightened the other
actors out Of their wits. One night
new man took the character Of the SEN
tinel who awoke Richard. When
asked "Who is there?' he should have
taken up the cue with the words: "'Tls
|, my lord. The village clock hath
thrice proclaimed the hour of morn."
But Keans facial contortions threw
the sentinel into such a 6t of stage
fright that he forgot most of his words,
stammering. "'Tis I, my lord. tits I.
my lord; the-the village cock" He
repeated this three or four times, so
that when Kean said. Then why on
earth don't you crow?" the audience
was convulsed with laughter.

Fourteen-year-old Helen Scott Of
Jamaica, L. l., is back at school cured
of paralysis of more than two years
standing, she believes, by the wish Of
her friends. Physcologists say that
mental suggestion on Helen's part
worked the cure.
On the morning Of Jan. rs, 1912, the
girl woke up to find almost all feeling
gone from her limbs. She grew help
less from the waist down. Dec. 26
last she was given birthday party,
which she attended on crutches, which
she had learned to use. The girl
friends of Helen united in wishing her
health and recovery. So earnest were
thev that it made a great impression
on her mind The next morning she
told her mother she had dreamed that
she could walk. A little later she rose
from her chair and walked without
