Afqhanlstan Infant Mortality.

Infant mortality in Afghanistan is
very heavy. 1t has been said by a
leading medical missionary In Pes
bawar that, in his opinion, probably
about one-half the children born In
the country die before reaching the
age Of three years. There are no spe.
Hia! pains exercised in the country to
prevent such mortality. and the wan
dering and generally insanitary mode
Of life and the email attention paid to
women and infants at childbirth &C.
count for the heavy infant mortality.

Dancing Always Popular.

In the very far east Confucius,
who lived nearly 600 years before
Christ, mentions the dancing of war
riors and of the outcast women. In
the ancient Japanese scrolls constant
pictures appear of dancing girls and
warriors. And in Phoenicia and Luz
cania, Sparta and ancient Greece al
ways we find hat dancing was a part
of the life of the people, just as it is
today.

DANCING Once Part of worsbip.

We read III the Book OF the Dead"
which contains the papyri of Egypt's
most ancient seers and scholars, that
dancing was a part Of Egyptian wor-

selves, denoting alteration, triumph
after battle. gloom at the death of a
monarch or a high priest, were often
figures of men or women in dancing
pastures.

Keep Crank cs,e Clean.

Because all of the oil contained in
the crank case Of an engine is not used
up before a new supply must be put in,
the novice is apt to fail to appreciate
the nee Of purging the case and re-.
newing the entire oil supply from time
to time. This Ia absolutely necessary.
however, because the residue left aft
er much oil has been used is largely
devoid Of its former lubricating Prop
critics, and contains a large proportion
OF carbon and some water. Adding
fresh oil to this merely dilutes it, as
it were, and furnishes a deceptive re-
suit in the matter of quality. The eff.
feet is much the came as though poor
grade Of lubricant were employed.
Hence 1t is absolutely essential that
the oil be drawn OF entirely at regular
intervals, thrown away and a new sup
ply OF fresh oil being put in in its
stead.
