THE CURIOUS LUSHEIS.
An Eastern People Who Are Afraid to
Speak Their Own Names.

An Eastern People Who Are Afraid to
Speak Their Own Names.
In his book. 1.-THE Lushei Kuki Clan"
Lieutenant Colonel J. Shakespear tells
Of curious trait of the Lusheis. a
Bengal frontier race. They have a
strong and general dislike to speaking
their own names. The author tells of
his experience with this strange peo
pie and accounts for that fear In the
following manner:
When we first occupied the hills II
man would not tell us his name. II
asked he would refer us to some one
else and say. You tell him." The fol-
lowing explanation of their habit was
given by Lushei:
"Lusheis are shy of saying the name
Of their father and their mother and
their own name. Because 1t Is their
own name they are shy of saying It.
Some people are shy because their
names are bad. Their parents names
because they are their parents they
never call them by their names; there
fore they are shy Of saying them.
Their own names also they never say.
Just for that reason they are shy of
saying them. The names Of their
brothers and friends they are always
saying; therefore they are not shy Of
saying them"
Long ago another explanation was
given. When man kills another he
calls out his own name. II. Lalmanga.
have killed you!" so that the spirit Of
the dying man may know whose slave
mans village. Accordingly. it was sug
gested. 1t was unlucky for n person to
speak his name on less important oc
casion.

FEET AND FLOORS.
How the Body May Be Robbed Of lts
Heat and Vitality.

How the Body May Be Robbed Of lts
Heat and Vitality.
\ cold floor is one that conducts heat
one that is cold in itself. A wooden
floor and stone floor exposed to the
cold will in themselves have no great
difference in temperature. But one
may walk barefooted over wooden
door with comparative comfort, no
matter how cold the weather, while
stone floor will seem to freeze the feet
On the other hand. in warm room
the stone floor will be warmer than the
wooden floor. for 1t will take up the
heat. Thus the heat from radiator
standing on a stone or tile floor will
make it warm for several feet in every
direction. but it will affect the wooden
floor only very slightly. A cold floor.
therefore. is not a door which sends
cold into the body through the feet.
but one which takes away the body
heat. leaving It cold.
Life consists in keeping up the body
heat. 1t. is in order to get sufacient
body heat that we eat and to retain It
that we wear clothes. Were there no
wind and If we moved hardly at all
clothes would not be necessary, be-
cause the heat Of the body would keep
a layer. Of heated air about US all the
time. But the wind and our natural
movements constantly dispense this
layer Of heated air. and in consequence
we wear clothes to keep this layer In.
In summer GOODNESS is secured by
loose clothing. which let's the wind
blow away the heated air; in spring
and fall more closely woven garments
keep the heated air near. In very cold
weather furs are used. because the
skin and the fur afford a powerful re.
sistance to the escape Of body heated
air. As long as the body heat is kept
up illness Is likely to be a long time
away.
Cold floors rob us Of body heat-they
steal away our vitality. The slow sap
ping of vitality that comes from stand
ing on cold floors Is fearfully weaken
ing to the system. No matter how old
or ragged Il rug or carpet. no matter
how thin cork or fiber mat. it will
lengthen your life and save you from
numberless discomforts which cold
floors cause.-New York Journal.

Many persons who visit the ply.
). stefan with complaints Of poor
digestion and anaemia declare
that they are active all day long
and that going out for walks is
the last thing they need.
They may be right about the
) amount Of exercise they get. but
people constantly fall Ill in spite
) Of plenty of exercise in the house
and get we'll again with little
} outdoor exercise. A certain
amount Of active work about a
} house is good for every one. but
there ought to be some daily out
door life as well.
1t does not follow that that
outdoor life ought to include vio-
lent exercise or even any exer-
else at all. Every one knows
how babies thrive when they
take their maps outdoors. The
principle applies to the adult also.
1t is q matter Of scientific rec I

easily. Yet it is probable that ,
few people take less exercise.

DIED SUDDENLY.

Albert Spencer died at the hOspi-

in twenty minutes after being strick-
en- with heart failure. He was in
the hospital on account of an oper-
alton for hernia, and was intending
to return to his home Tuesday. When
he felt that his heart was failing him
he called the nurses and carried on
a conversation almost until the last
breath, being conscious of the fact
that ne was dying.
Mr. Spencer was born in Illinois on
Nov. i, 1852, but on account of no
near relatives it is impossible to get
the early details of his Life. He was
an uncommunicatiVe person regarding
himself and his wife, formerly Mrs.
j. w. Turner, knows but little of his
early history. He was married three
times, his first wife being dead and
his second wife, formerly Mrs. De
YER, was divorced.
In early years Mr.. Spencer farmed
