You cannot get acquainted with any.
one at a public dinner even If you
should desire to do so. The purpose at
every public dinner is to avoid any.
thing sensible and to clog the system
with nicotine, alcohol and indigestible
food, not to mention bromides.
The American people are dinner
mad. In view Of their obsession. their
passion for giving dinners, why not
reverse the process and give one to
every man who makes a failure? This

TWO HABITS THAT ARE BAs'
May at First Appear lnslsnIficant, But
Really Are Dangerous 70
the Health.

The practice of licking stamps and
gummed envelope flaps, as well as that
of sucking the end of the lead pencil.
is very unsanitary indeed. AS, every.
one should know, the glue used on
stamps and envelope flaps is made Of
refuse products, consisting Of the bones
and hoofs Of animals which may or
may not have been diseased. The
stamps and envelopes themselves are
made Of all sorts of rags, which, in the
course of their transformation into pa
per, are handled by all sorts and condi
tions of people. We never know
whether it is clean or dirty pair OF
hands that has handled a stamp or en-.
velope just before we purchase it.
There have even been cases of poi.
soning from the stamp-licking practice.
Fortunately, they are rare, but it suf-
fees to say that the ordinary steriliz-
ing process in their making does not
necessarily kill form of germs that
are poisonous. The safest plan is to
moisten the gummed surfaces on a
small wet sponge and take no risks
Children should be carefully warned
about the indiscriminate sucking and
chewing of pencils. This seems to be
a habit of childhood that is hard to
overcome. The lead in pencil is poi
sonous, and so is the point, and the
wood furnishes convenient lodging
place for all sorts of germs

PIES FOR THE ROYAL TABLE
English Cities Furnish Delicacies to
Embellish the Banquetine Boards
of Their Rulers.

Each year the city of Gloucester,
England, presents the king with pie.
For many centuries, until the year
1884, Gloucester followed the custom
of expressing its loyalty to the SOW.
ereign by sending him lamprey pie.
In that year the custom was, for some
reason, suspended, but in 1893 1t was
revived, and has since been contin-
ued.
In 1897, the year Of Queen Victoria 8
jubilee, 1t was felt that some special
effort should be made to produce pie
that would be a pie indeed. The
queens pie was dispatched to her pal
ace at Balmoral upon a gold dish, and
was of a more than usually elaborate
character. 1t weighed 20 pounds and
was adorned with truffles, fine prawns
on gold skewers, and aspic jelly. On
the top was a representation Of the
royal crown and cushion, with scep-
ter to which were attached streamers
of royal blue, and at the base were
four golden lions.
Ancient custom requires that the
town of Yarmouth annually furnish to
the sheriff of Norwich hundred her.
rings baked in "a pies. The sheriff
conveys them to the lord of the manor
of East Clareton, who. in turn, sends
them to the king.

Set a Mark In Life.

Work for something not for moth
ing. 1t is not wise to live just for the
feeting moment or Just for today.
Without some aim, ones time and
work go for naught. The years go by
and he has nothing to show for them
If not advancing. we are falling
back. If not keeping alive, growing
to something better and higher, we
are becoming weaker and of less
worth. Even though we never reach
the goal. we have made some advance
in striving for it. A good aim, real
purpose in life, makes worth of char
acter. All have not the same tastes
There is wide field from which to
choose what one will work for And
this is well. The one universal aim is
the same, to live truer, better lives
from day to day. A life without a
purpose is like ship without rud
der. Want of motive makes life
dreary and monotonous. Nothing sat
isles. Better little talent and much
purpose than much talent and little
purpose" Aim for something worth
while and keep your mark steadily in
view. Life will mean much more tc
you. You will be more useful to the
world, you will find more satisfaction
in living-Milwaukee Journal.

HOT WATER BED IS REsTFUL
Four Hours Sleep In sathtub Said .
Be Equal to Eight Of Usual
Kind.

Sleeping in q bath tub full of water
kept at blood temperature Ii claimed
BY some physicians to give the re-
CURED amount of rest in half the time
that sleeping In a bed requires, Pop
ular Science Monthly says. In other
words, four hours sleep in a bathtub
filled with water at the proper tenn.
perature-and always maintained at
that temperature-will result in the
exact amount Of restfulness that eight
hours in bed will give.
The explanation is that warm water
completely relaxes the nerves, which
ordinary sleep does not necessarily DO.
The most difficult part of this treat.
ment is in maintaining the water at .
constant temperature, and for the
purpose of accomplishing the result .

In practice, the patient climbs into

edges of the tub. Water constantly

For the harried business man, who
complains that his working day IL too

should have distinct appeal. He
should be willing to rest four hours at

NOT FAULT OF CHILDREN
Many Reasons Advanced for Cases Of
Truaney Reported In the Schools
Of the Country.

The average public-school truant is
a physical defective and has an alb
normal blood pressure, equal to that
of a man of twenty-five. This is the
conclusion reached after a scientific
study Of eighty typical truants in New
York city.
Only seven Of the group were found
free from physical drawbacks, which
the investigators enumerate as fol-
lows: Bad teeth, 70; poor vision. II;
defective nutrition, q; trouble with
their feet, 20; tobacco users, so; acc
hol drinkers, 10. Those who did rot
breath right made up 10 per cent OF
the 80 truants; enlarged tonsils, 10
per cent; difficult hearing. per cent;
heart ailment, per cent.
AS to high blood pressure among the
truants, this was verified by examina-
ton of inmates at the parental school.
There the boys, on admission, almost
uniformly show an abnormal pressure
which usually is reduced to the nor
NAL after two or three months stay
IN the institution.
According to the school authorities,
40 per cent Of the pupils have some
thing the matter with their teeth.
Truancy is due not only to physical
defects. the Investigators found, but
is chargeable to poor digestion, crowd
ed classes, improperly trained teach
ers, lack of special studies and
classes and wrong home influences.

Early Breaking Down.

Apparently the most significant
result Of the various changes in our
living habits is found In our declining
power to resist the strain of life on
the heart, arteries, kidneys and the
nervous and digestive systems, re-
marks Science. Compared with past
decades, the increase in mortality
from the early breaking down Of
these organs il very marked. The
records of the last census show that
the increase continues in the younger
as well as the older age groups. This
points to the shortening Of the valu.
able productive period of life. These
indications are we'll attested. They
cannot be disposed of by the easy
process Of denying the statistics with
out investigation. Nor can the extra
ordinary increase in cancer be ex-
planned in this convenient way The
early breaking down of these impor-
tant organs points to decline in the
vitality Of our people in the mature
and most useful period Of their lives.
and presents a phase Of the problem
meriting the most careful study and
consideration.

GREAT AIR CRAFT ALTITUDE
Italian Balloon Goes 1o4,oe2 Feet, o.
Eighteen Miles, Above actual
Ground Level.

According to the geographical in
stitute at Pavia, Italy, the highest al
titude so far reached by any balloon
was 10000 feet, or slightly over IL
miles above sea level; and 104,082
feet above actual ground, says the St
Louis Post-Dispatch. The balloon was
Of rubber and was filed with hydro
gen gas.
The actual distance traversed meas.
ured 116,064 feet. At height of So,
1876 feet the temperature fell to minus
43 degrees and maintained that figure
all the balance of the way up with
only slight variation.
The aviator Giaccomo Piccolo, was
compelled to utilize his oxygen in
halator after he reached the height OF
two miles, and reached ground in q
collapsed condition nevertheless.
Prof. Pericles Gambia, in the An
nall di Ufficio, states that the benefits
to science from that ascent were in
calculable, as it proved mainly two
things: That the assumption of Is
mile atmosphere above the ground IL
erroneous, and that the theory OF
ether outside of that limit is not ad
missible, IF it does not altogether dc
away with the ether theory at any
height" The word "ether" has been
formed to express the medium fol
light beyond the assumed atmosphere
This ascent establishes beyond per
adventure that the medium is uniform
after the height of about $4,000 feet
was reached IF the atmospheric
consistency remains the same $4,000
feet after that altitude, the assump
ton that it will remain the same far
Their up reaches the dignity of a pre-
sumption"
The Annali suggests that the data
furnished by this ascent must, imper
atively, be substantiated by further
ascents before definite conclusions
should be drawn from this one alone

Chinese a Peaceful Race.

The prevailing spirit of China is
a peaceful spirit. Though having con
quered in many wars, China does not
look upon itself as warning nation.
It's pride is in its scholars and its
sages. 1t has always put the scholar
first in the social scale as the molde-
of the ideals of the people; the farmer
second in a social scale as the pre-
server of the necessities of the physi-
cal life; the soldier lowest in the SC
cial scale because, as the Chinese say
he is a taker of life. The Chinese sa.
it is idiocy to kill a man because you
have a difference of opinion with him,
for to kill him settles nothing. The
genius of the Chinese race is for peace.
In quarrel they get together through
a middleman, peacemaker. Each con
cedes something, and an agreement is
arrived at.
