A project in which a number of
West side people are interested is
a night school for foreigners, which
is conducted at Branner school, on the
East side. The plan for teaching
English to foreign men and women
and children was first entered upon
by the Y. w. c. A, and the school
grew and prospered to such an ex
tent that it was taken over by the
public school board. and an East side
building allowed for the school.
The sessions are held four nights
out of the week, when the pupils
gather for an hours work, after their
days tasks are finished. Nearly all of
the students are grown, many of them
married and the parents of a family.

will doubtless take a place of prom

William Murdoch, the inventor Of

day in an emergency he wished to stop
the illumination. Hurriedly looking
around for something, Murdoch seized
his wife's thimble and thrust it over
the light, which was Immediately ex-
tinguisbeG
There was a strong odor of gas, how
ever, says the Popular Science Month
ly, and the experimenter applied
light to the thimble, discovering that it
was fun Of holes, through which tiny
jets Of flame appeared The impor-
lance of the result was that the illumi-

Osman Pasha,s DARING.

One of the most gallant generals that
ever surrendered to the enemy was
Osman Pasha, the immortal defender
Of Plevna. Surrounded by an immeas-
urably superior army of Russia, Os-
man kept his flag flying for 142 days,
inficting a loss of 10000 men on the
enemy and losing 10000 of his own gar
rlson. 1t was only when both pro-
visions and ammunition failed that he
decided on that desperate attempt to
cut his way through the investing
army. The attempt, one of the most
daring and resolute in history, failed.
and Osman was at last compelled to
admit defeat. So impressed. however,
were the enemy with his valor that as
he was carried wounded through their
ranks they greeted him as a conqueror
with cheers and presented arms.

HEADS OF oBD sHaPE

The tilon. Lafton and Ma7ban &c De-
scrised Ia che Talmud.
It is a matter familiar to every stu
dent Of The Bible that the Hebrew
priests were required TO be physically
as well as morally perfeet-without
bodily defect or blemlsh-in order to be
eligible to service I'm the temple The
Talmud, In the tractate Bechoroth,
says a writer in the Medical Record,
enumerates several defects which dis
qualify a priest from ministering in his
holy Office. Among these are the kilon.
the lafton and the maqbon.
The condition of kilon Is ascribed rs
person having a peculiarly shaped
head, which Is pointed at the top and
broad at the bottom. The lafton was
man with head shaped exactly the
opposite Of the preceding. To use the
expression of the Talmud, he had a
head very broad at the top and narrow
at, the bottom, like a lefes-i. e.,
pumpkin.
The expression maqbon, derived from
the word hammer, refers to a hammer
shaped head or, as the Talmud de-
scribes It, one with prominent and
projecting forehead and occiput.
The terse descriptions of the kilon
head and lafton head given by the
Talmud could not be improved on by
any modern textbook in medicine.

WHEN a WHALE BLOWS.
Il 10 Steam, Not Water, the Cetasean
Spouts Into the Air

Il 10 Steam, Not Water, the cotaeean
spouts Into the Air.
Since a whale breathes mir wren IT is
below fhe surface the breath must be
held, for If water should be taken into
the lungs the animal would drown
Thus as soon as a cetacean comes to
the surface its breath is expelled and
fresh supply inhaled before it again
goes down.
The breath which has been held in
the lungs for a considerable time under
pressure is highly heated, and as it is
forcibly expelled into the colder outer
air it condenses, forming column of
steam. A similar effect may be pro-
duced by any person if on a frosty
morning the breath is suddenly blown
from the mouth.
That whales spout out Of the blow
holes water which has been taken in
through the mouth is probably more
widely believed than any other popular
misconception. AS a matter of fact,
such performance would be impossi-
bic, because n whales nostrils do not
open into the back of the mouth, as do
those of man, and the animal is not
able to breathe through its mouth" as
can ordinary land mammals. - Roy

EATING TO LIVE.
Rules by Which Good Health May Be
Gained and Retained.

Rules by Which Good Health May Be
Gained and Retained.
Herewith I give few general sug-
gestlons for those who desire health,
writes Edward b. Warman. A. NJ, in
the Nautilus:
No one cnn have health who eats too
much.
No one can have health who eats
too often.
No one can have health who eats
too many kinds OF food at the same
meal.
No one can have health who eats
when tired. hurried. worried. anxious
or excited.
No one can have health who rises
late, gulps down a hearty breakfast
and then sprints for the ear.
When you have eaten do not wonder
II It will agree with you. When you be-
gin to wonder trouble begins. Say
goodby TO It. not expecting to hear
from It again. If you fear 1t do not
eat It; If you eat It do not fear 1t.
Be cheerful at your meals. A sour
countenance will give you sour stom-
ach.
Praise your wife's cooklng-if you
can conscientiously.
II you go home with crouch leave
IL out of doors, where the dog will get
it-then shoot the dog.
The majority Of people do not know
how to live until they are ready to die,
and then they uro not ready to die be-
cause they have not rightly lived.
