YEARS SUPPLY OF BABIES

Come to Many az Something Of

1t has been computed that about 36,-
100000 babies are born into the world

more than one for every beat Of the
clock.
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader is familiar, but it is not
every one who stops to calculate what
this means when 1t comes to a years
supply. 1t will, therefore. probably
startle a good many persons to find
on the authority OF a well-known sta
tisticician, that. could the infants Of
year be ranged in line in cradles,
the cradles would extend around the
globe.
The same writer looks at the matter
in a more picturesque light. He imag-
in 5 the babies being carried past a
given point in their mothers arms,
one by one. and the procession being
kept up night and day until the last
hour in the twelfth month had passed
by. A sufficiently liberal rate is al
lowed, but even in going past at the
rate of 20 a minute, 1900 an hour.
during the entire year, the reviewer
at his post would have seen only the
sixth part of the infantile host.
In other words, the babe that had
to be carried when the tramp began
would be able to walk when but a
mere fraction of its comrades had

HAD A "LIGHTNING" SHAVE
How Man Who Knew Human Mature
Fooled Barber and Got to
Dinner on Time.

THE other evening about six O'Clock
was sitting in a BARRIERS chair get
ting dolied up" said downtown man
according to the Washington Star
when a friend of mine came rushing
in, threw of his hat and coat, flung
himself in a vacant chair and cried tC
the barber standing by:
"'Here, hurry up and give me
lightning shave! I've got to catch
| train; got just two minutes to spare
Step lively, now, or I'll miss that train
sure shot!'
1.-THE barber busted himself at his
swiftest speed. and in a short time my
hurrying friend was shaved and gone
What was my surprise, therefore.
when that evening about $3.50 o'clock,
as was strOlling about the foyer of
theater between the acts, l saw that
train-catching friend of mine leaning
leisurely against pillar there smok
ing cigarette.
"'Why, thought you had to leave
town in a hurry this evening" ex
claimed in surprise. You were in q
fervid rush at the barber shop.
| MY friend smiled.
""There wasn't any train to catch,
he answered, but don't suppose you
fully understand the psychology of the
barber. l did want a quick shave;
wanted it just as much and just as
quickly as though had been hurryine
to catch a train, for was going out to
a rather formal dinner party with this
theater attachment afterward, and
was badly pressed for time wherein to
get shaved and dressed.
"'Now, If had told the barber that
l was invited to dinner and was in a
hurry because had small time to pre-
pare and didn't want to be late II
would have meant nothing at all to
him. In his experience the matter OF
a bachelor being five or ten minutes
late to a dinner has never been OF any
particular importance, and hence it il
beyond his comprehension that ont
should need hurry to promptly fill any
such engagement through any othel
motive than bald hunger. The flagran
breach of good manners, amounting al
most to an insult to the hostess, in

Rats a. Plague TransmItters.

In view of the admitted importance
of the rat in the transmission OF
plague, the study of this disease
among rodents has become as neces

of the human cases when they arise
In report to the local government

East Anglia during the period from
July to October, 1911, the magnitude
of single campaign is shown. Dur
ing four months 1882 rats were ex'

five of the rats were found to be
plague infected. Twenty-seven premi-
SEES were found to harbor plague-in-
fected rats. The places were all with.
in an area previously pronounced to
be infected. The rat destruction,
which has been maintained by local
enterprise for somewhat more than q
year, had, in many localities, appre
ciably diminished the rat population.

Luxembourg was In no position to OPP

Hence 1t is still the possessor of

sent, Is a beautiful structure of tho
Spanish Renaissance period, although
its splendor has been married by the
addition of the chamber of deputies,
built in 1857. and not in conformity
with the original architecture.
The palace itself was built in 1879
by Count Ernest Of Mansfield. Under
one of its doors may be seen the mono
grams Of Siegfried, who founded the
city, and the Countess Ermesinde, who
gave its municipal freedom.
Louis XIV spent some time in the
palace and Napoleon tarried there in
1904.
Other points Of interest in the city
are the remains Of the former forbid
ding fortresses. the Cathedral OF
Notre Dame, the National library, the
Casino, containing good restaurant
and readingroom, the new post Office
and the municipal palace.
Town That Hugo Loved.
To the students of Victor Hugo the
town of Vianden near the eastern bor-
der Is sacred from the fact that the
Frenchman deeply loved the town. He
paid five visits to it, going there in his
travels and his exile. The house where
he lived in 1870 and 1871 is appropri-
ately marked.
Centuries before the Romans made
a protracted stay there, building fort
on high rock, which was called

hordes, drove them out, and the VIC
tors also gave the name to one of
heights there-Hunnenley Rock Of the
Huns.
No description of Luxembourg could
be called complete without at least a
brief alluslon to Echternach, scene Of
the Dancing Procession, a religious
ceremony that dates back several CEN
turtles, its actual inception being In
| doubt. The practice, which takes place
every Whit-Tuesday. is believed to
have sprung from an incident in the
eighth century.
| A strange epidemic afflicted the cat
tic Of the people whereby the animals
suffered sharp paroxysms that gave
them the appearance of dancing. The
| people rushed of to the tomb of Saint
Willibrord to pray for the recovery of
the cattle. In their haste to reach the
tomb they almost danced, as did the
cows. Their herds got well. This start
ed the ceremony As many as 10000
persons participate in the dance and
an equal number are spectators.
