lnstiustive Mimiesy.

Why II one man on the street takes
out his watch do others do the same?
Among the very early instincts recog-
nized In the human mind are mimicry
and curiosity. Mimicry develops into
habit, az when we see many persons
walking faster than we do We grad
ually fall into their gait and in time
this faster gait becomes habitual with
US. Every instinct emapates from one
or the other of the fundamental in
stincts. self preservation apd race pres
eEyation. Every action that benefits
the human being can be traced back ia
the instinct Of self preservation. and
among these actions are the acquisi-
ton of knowledge. even the knowledge
Of the time of day.
Instructive mimlcry creates an I'M
pulse which IN the case of the mar
looking at his watch upon seeing an
other do the same, Is supported by an
other instinct, curiosity, and by the
human faculty. reason. We therefore
follow the impulse and look at our
watch. New York American

Postcard Messages Private.

Postcard Messages Private.
Postal cards would undoubtedly be
in much greater demand than they are
for purposes Of correspondence but for
the fact that the messages they convey
are open to all through whose hands
they may pass. Yet this objection u
easily overcome.
There are some BEAUTIFULLY simple
ciphers that are almost impossible for
any one not in the secret to read. Only
by luck. for instance. can even the ex-
pert find the key to q short message
written In the rtrellisr or grill" cipher.
It Is extremely simple, and thousands
Of people use It to battle folks who talks
an interest in the contents of post
cards.
To use II all you have to do is to cut
few oblong holes IN blank POST
card. place It over the postcard you
mean TO write on and writ your mes
sage in the holes. Then take the upper
card off and write some natural read
ing sentences round the cipher words.
F.. Any inquisitive person pealing the
card when it reaches your correspond
ent's house will find message of no
interest whatever. Only your CORE
spondent himself-or hepself-can read
the real message. and that by placing
on the card a blank card cut in exactly
the same way as your own.-Pearson's

THE MOTIVE TO PHILOSOPHY.

Philosophy is a love for wis
dom. a striving after truth. Even
this striving Is philosophy. A
progressive culture process can
be comprehepded only by pro
gressive knowledge process. The
human spirit is this progressive
culture progress. Philosophy Is
this progressive knowledge proc
ess, the self knowledge of the hui
man spirit. This self knowledge
Of the human spirit Is the fun
damental theme of all systems
of philosophy. The problem Of
philosophy is to see the meaning
OF the forms Of culture, to grasp
their inner motives and to make
clear what they are and what is
their aim. The problem Is the
more difficult the richer and
more manifold the world OF cul-
ture becomes The animating
principles Of men are so various
that conflicting systems Of phi
losophy arise, each Of which ex-
presses one phase Of these ami
mating principles. This phase
must he co-ordinated In order to
solve the philosophical problem
OF the age. But there are rul-
ing tendencies of the times, so
there arise I'm philosophy ruling
systems.-Kuno Fischer.

that feel I would collapse. Friends say must stop nursing my baby. Can
 you tell me how to get strong with 5out doing so? Mrs. F. H
 E believe that if you adopt the right
 measures it will not be necessary for you to give up the delightful task of
 nursing your baby, but you must
 build yourself up. and not do much
 hard work Probably your blood is
 somewhat impoverished; it must be
 enriched. For this procure the Home
 Health Club book Vol. 3 and follow
 the instructions. In addition you
 should take a large quantity of fresh,
 sweet milk. If you can get it warm from the COW so much the better, but you should drink it immediately af- ter it is rnilked, not let it stand. If you will take it at that time it will cause no constipation If it has be come cold, you must heat it by add ing 8 little almost scalding water.
 Then it does not coagulate in the stomach, and is more readily assirni- lated. Sip it very slowly. You can ktake two, three or even four quarts of milk daily this way, and will gain
 strength yourself and supply the
 right quality Of food to the baby.
 Avoid being constipated. If neces-
 sary use g warm water enema.
