The company should be divided into

to obtain a boys cap. Then each side

This and That.

A very interesting game is called
"this and that" The trick in this game
which must be understood by two of
the company who are to take the lead
ing part in it, is nothing more than
that the word that" is to precede the
article that has been chosen for guess
ing. For instance, n Of the two
players goes out Of the room while the
article is chosen to be guessed. The
absent one is then recalled. When the
second player. acquainted with the
game. remarks that something has
been touched and requests him or her
to name the article. Here Is. IN ex-
ample:
"Was it this book?" NO"
'Was it the armchair?" NO"
"Was it the desk?" NO."
WAS it that rocker?' Yes"
The performance may be repeated
until the secret is discovered.

Hard on the Eyesiaht.

Looking into the fire, particularly
a coal fire, is very injurious to the
eyes. The stimulus of fire and heat
united soon destroys the eyes. Look
ing at molten iron will soon destroy
the sight. Reading in the twilight
is injurious to the eyes, as they are
obliged to make great exertion.
Reading or sewing with a side light
Injuries the eyes, as both eyes should
be exposed to an equal degree of
light. The reason is the sympathy
between the eyes is so great that if
the pupil of one eye is dilated by
being kept partially in the shade
the eye that is exposed cannot con-
tract itself sufficiently for protec-
ton and will ultimately be injured.

AVERAGE OF HUMAN LIFE.
In General Il Remains the Same In
Spite Of All Conditions.

In General IL Remains the Same In
Spite Of All Conditions.
Neither hot nor cold climates
have any effect on a persons age.
In spite Of the difference in race,
in food, in habits of life, the saw
age in the south sea islands has al
most exactly as long a life as the
african pygmy or the giant Fue-
gians. What is more, in spite of all
the skill and science of modern CIV
ilization the average duration of hui
man life is not a whit longer in the
United States than it. is in u tropi-
cal jungle or a blizzard swept
tundra.
The Eskimo lives largely on blub-
Der, the Hindu eats sparingly of
rice, the Andaman islander con-
sumes raw fish, the modern epicure
his 'fhot bird and cold BOTTLE" yet
each one of these changes that d.
verse diet into exactly the amount
of fuel his body needs to keep it
going the same average length of
time. The occupations of men are
as diverse as their food, yet in this
also the average remains the same.
The Norwegians are largely a race
of sailors and fishermen, the Swiss
but seldom behold the sea, yet as a
nation the one is not more favored
than the other with length of life.
What is perhaps still more curl
GUS is that races and nations aflict-
ed with special diseases do not live
less long in consequence. One of
the worst scourges of mankind is
prevalent in Spain, the hookworm
has for long been a perpetual visi-
tor to the American negro. of the
southern states, and oriental ma
tons are afflicted with various skin
troubles which would in a short
space of time weaken people of 9TH
er racial stocks so that a large pro-
portion Wuld die. Yet even this
fails to alter the general average.
True it is that if people of another
racial type visit these several coun-
tries they are likely to fall victims
to the diseases of which their hosts
are practically immune. But, TAX
ing the matter by and large, even
this question of disease fails to mark
a change.
The clock of human life is set at
a very definite point, and the tables
of mortality, which are made out
for one nation or for one period of
time, will serve almost universally
we'll. There are certain variations, of
course. The infant death rate is far
higher in savage tribes than among
civilized peoples, but o r adults
reach advanced years. More feeble.
children grow old enough to give
birth to still feebler children in
civilized than in savage communi-
ties, but the result naturally follows
that the stock dies out. The rate at
which the wheels go around matters
a great deal for the individual case,
but it makes practically no differ
cncc to the race us a whole.-Bos-
ton Globe.
