Every age has its own name for

contain kernel that is man; but his
godlike shape is disguised quite as
much as woman's has been revealed
by recent fashion.
Nuts are frequent devotees of vica-
rious energizing, and their odd and
chronic roundness of shoulder is the
eternal sign of strenuous life and of
a body perpetually arched over the
steering wheel. And his little soft
hat. damned jealously over his eyes,
tells Of continual battling with the
breeze Of speed. Set low, with hunched
shoulders and neck outstretched, in
his gray torpedo of a racing car, he
has no use for elegance He is mere

Yalua Of Cool NInhta.

Heat waves, says Edwin C. Martin,
author of Our Own Weather" prove
disastrous directly In proportion as
hot nights are combined with hot days.
For a number of days successfully
the heat may mount during the day to
extraordinary heights, but IL the in
tervening nights turn comparatively
cool the number of prostrations and
deaths will be much less than under a
considerably lower temperature con-
tinuing with scant abatement through
the day and night. Thus any situation
that peculiarly favors cooling off at
night has clear advantage during
the prevalence OF a hot wave. 1t is
also an advantage to be Injured to heat.
The same degree of 1t that would
cause great suffering to the people of
the North imposes nothing more than
discomfort on the people of the South.

TALE OF LITERARY BOHEMIA
French DramatIst and Poet Breakfast.
ed Together Under Somewhat
Amusing Circumstances.

In his published "reminiscences of
Henri Murger, Mons. Felix Duquesnel
tells an amusing story of breakfast
with the poet of the Vie de Boheme"
Theodore Barriere. the dramatist,
wished to adapt Murger's work to the
stage. He had never met the poet,
but he decided to visit him at his
home and introduce himself Murger
lived on the sixth floor of a house In
the Rue Gregoire- de-Tours 1t was al.
most noon when Barriere appeared at
his lodging, but Murger was still in
bed.
Pardon me, sir, for disturbing you,"
said Barriere. I'm sorry to see that
you are In bed Are you indisposed?"
mo. not at ALL" said Murger. I'm
very well. indeed, and very glad to
make your acquaintance"
May / ask why you lie In bed on
80 fine a day as thisY'
I'll tell you said Murger, laugh
ing. You know the story Of Epami-
nondas, who stayed In bed while his
clothes were being mended-thats my
case. have only one pair Of trousers,
and the porter has taken them to the
tailor's next door for reinforcement
30 I must wait for them In bedl"
Have you had your breakfast"
Yes. indeed; yesterday"
Then we will eat together, and talk
the matter over"
Murger shook his head 'T haven't
sou." he said.
Never mind, be my guest" With
these words Barriere took fivefranc
piece out of his pocket
by George, you're richl" said Muir
ger, with admiration. Let me see It;
those things are strangers to me.
Well, ring for breakfast"
Barriere looked round for the bell,
but could find none.
We haven't such a thing" said
Murger. In this place you act ac-
cording to tradition-take that brick
and heave it downstairs. Pere Guerin
knows the signal; he'll come right
up"
Barriere did 80, and the man APP
peared. Murger then got up and
threw a havelock over his shoulders,
and in half an hour the two writer's
were eating their breakfast of pork
outlets and cucumbers.-Youth's Com

SHOW GRATITUDE FOR RELIEF
Every Demonstration of Thank
fulness to the Dentist.

It is not easy to tell when an ele-
plant has got the toothache, but It Is
best to keep out of his way when you
do know it. A London surgeon, who
had been for many years In India, says
he would sooner risk a railway acct
dent than meet an elephant with tooth
ache.
It appears that toothache affects an
elephant in more severe manner than
1t does any other animal Elephants
have very sensitive nerves, and a
touch of toothache often brings on
madness.
Providing you are able to chain
down an elephant and draw out the
offending tooth, the brute is certain
to be affectionate to you afterward.
Here Is an instance.
An elephant In Bengal, India, became
affected with toothache, but the keep
ers managed to secure 1t while den
tist drew decayed tooth-the cause
of the trouble. After a time the ele-
plant seemed to understand that the
dentist was trying to do something for
his pain, and he gave every evidence
OF approaching the attention. When
the operation was over he frisked
round the dentist like young lamb.

Why do you smoke your cigars

This was SO uncanny he shifted

Down went his hand.

the broker, and how do you know

we're immense. The broker. for an

make fortune, and-then he glanced

ALL SHOULD LEARN TO SWIM
Accomplishment Easy to Acquire and
May at Any Time Be Of
Vital Importance.

I was very glad that / took SWIM
ming lessons at Havergal," said little
Helen O'Hara- Well she might be, for
otherwise she wound not have sur
vived the sinking of the Empress of
Ireland. When the little girls of eight
and ten years survive where strong
men drown the moral is not to be
escaped. 1t is art. not strength, which
conquers the treacherous element.
Giant muscles beat themselves out
Idly In the water unless there is q
knowledge Of how to make the water
servant.
No swimmer rears himself above the
waves in the impossible manner at
tempted by the ignorant person In the
water whose impulse is to lift himself
above the level of the waves as though
he were pulling himself over a fence.
The swimmer knows when It is safe
to open his mouth. and that he must
not breathe If his nostrils are full of
water. Panic. strangling and heart
failure cause many deaths In the wa
ter. The swimmer has a chance for
his life because his accomplishment
enables him to keep his wits as well as
his wind and strength He knows bet
ter than anybody that he cannot swim
ashore. but he knows also that he can
get to deck chair or plank or a
lifeboat If 1t Is within reasonable dis
tanoe. The swimmer knows that he
can help others to help him, and 1t is
no little thing to be of help to a res
cuer at time when economy OF time
means saving others lives as well as
your own.
Now is just the time to make this
lesson profitable to innumerable thou
sands. 1t is the outing season. Learn
ing should not be delayed because the
prospect of an ocean voyage is small.
Lives may be lost or saved in a duck
pond as well as the ocean. Those who
go down to the sea In ships or row.
boats alike should learn both what to
do and what not to do on and In the
water. The element should be re-
spected rather than feared. No lib
critics should be taken with 1t. but it
should not be allowed to end your life
before your time. Learn to swim, learn
this season, and you will be glad az
long as you live. even though your life
never should be In danger on the
water.

he had left to take his first news

of Inconsistencies increased. 1T will

He found Margaret waiting for him
when he reached her boarding place
She had on her wraps, and her brown
eyes were shining under the smart
little toQue.
On the way he told her more about
his new position, and his hopes and
plans for making good. She was all
kindness and attention, yet, withal. he
had the sensation that she was trying
to steer the conversation away from
personalities. 1t seemed to him that
she dragged out the work unnecessar-
lily long at the house; and when they
were at last free to go. he took mat
tiers into his own hands. and insisted
that the longest way round was the
shortest way home.
~"Has Davis asked you to marry

At. first she looked offended. then

Il probably shouldn't be walking

What difference does it maker"
Merely, that I'm going to ask you

the love and longing of the last
months.
Instead OF the waste OF boarding
houses It would mean home-and

kily.

ience, and they walked on beneath
the trees which rustled their dry
leaves in the soft autumn night. He,
in alternate hope and despair; she,
with her eyes turned away, gazed up
at the hazy harvest moon. But by
