W hat Your Tongue Reveals

Put out your tongue" is a phrase
associated in most peoples minds
with doctors. and is usually remi-
niscent of minor ailments and nasty
medicines; spoken by a glossoman-
cist. however. the curt command
takes on an altogether different sig
nifcance.
A glossomanclst It may be as well
to explain, Is a professor of glosso-
nancy, a new science which con-
sists in reading peoples characters
by the shape and size of their
tongues.
Thus, according to its votaries,
the possessor of a short and broad
tongue is apt to be untruthful as to
words and unreliable as to deeds.
A long tongue moderately pointed
denotes frankness and a loving,
trustful, affectionate disposition.
When the tongue is long and broad,
however. it is sign that the owner
is shallow and superficial, and also
q great talker.
The small, round tongue. plump
and in shape like an oyster, denotes
mediocre abilities and a nature that
is commonplace and colorless A
short. narrow tongue goes with a
nature that is at once quick tenn
pered ana yet affectionate. strong
and sudden in hate as in love.

Animals as Swimmers.

Nearly all animals are good swim
nrers. and take to the water natur al
~. whereas man must learn to keep
ahoat and to propel himself. Many
stories are told of the feats of
rhinoceros. elk and deer, but of all
swimmers in all climes the best. al
though not the swirtest, is the polar
bear, who passes half his time in
the water swimming and diving.
The bears swimming power Is
wonderful. and it is to be remem-
bered that the water in some of his
regions is invariably cold, and that
cold water Is ordinarily very dis
couraging to a swimmer. There are
bears that can swim thirty miles or
more without especial effort.
One of the swiftest of swimming
animals is the squirrel. A sports
man on one occasion, having a
young squirrel that had never seen
water, wanted to see IL il could
swim, and took 1t with him In a
rowboat to the centre of the lake.
When the squirrel was put into the
water 1t turned toward the bank.

back and tail underneath IL. and
began to swim so rapidly that the
man had hard work to recover IL
when it reached the shallow water
near the land.

in New Zea and. The first idea about
this Insect was that IL turned into a
kind of beetle. Afterwards II proved
to be a larva or grub of q fly. Its
light is seemingly given 1t to attract
small insects. which are its food.
and these are secured by means of q
web. This web is placed in a niche
among rocks or trees, and has a
central thread from which run
smaller threads to the sides of the
opening. Upon several of the lower
threads there are usually a number
of globules that resemble tiny silver
beads. but what is the use of these
Is uncertain. Upon the middle thread
the grub sits. II startled 1t glides
away into a hole II has for a hiding
place. The light comes from the
hinder part of the body. and the
grub can display or darken this as
1t chooses. On damp warm nights IL

course, during the day. Having

pores if one is walking.
In order for the feet to keep in

use powder too freely, when the
feet are to be used, is first class
way OF starting punions.
Yet it is better to risk this, on
occasions of extreme cold, than to
have cold feet. Feet thoroughly
chilled are a menace to health. II
has been estimated that from ten
to fifteen per cent of all the sick
ness that affects Americans in Win

Powder Your Feet
to Keep Them Warm

IF any one suffers from cold feet,
particularly in bed. it's a trick
worth knowing to powder them.
Just before retiring, if a man or
woman with a poor circulation will
chafe the feet briskly until they get
warm and then dust them over
literally with talcum powder, or
corn starch, or almost any powder,
for that matter, they will be much
less likely to feel cold during the
night.
Goodness is due, largely, to the
evaporation of perspiration from
the skin, for, as is well known,
anything which vaporizes quickly,
freezes. 1t is this principle which
is employed when ethyl chloride,
and similar substances, are used
for a local anaesthetic.
The talcum powder, when busted
over the feet operates in two ways.
1t absorbs the perspiration, for one
thing thus giving less opportunity
for evaporation, and consequently
giving the blood vessels less work
to do to keep the skin warm; and,
for another thing, it fills up the
pores and thus decreases the ex-
erection of perspiration.

A Practical Course of Instruction ir,
This HealthfuL and Popular
Sport That Can Be
Taken Right on the =
Floors of Your Olura Home
By Grace Tamagno.
(5. g., Phys. Ed, Columbia Univ.)

TOW that artificial ice has
m made skating q reliable Win
ter sport many a person is
struggling to do fancy skating who
never tried to balance himself upon
the ice in childhood. And of course
it is difficult to acquire new habits
OF motion in ones mature years.
To learn in ones room the bal
ance and essential movements of
plain and figure skating may not
have occurred to many persons as
the proper mode of procedure, yet it
is the safest and shortest route for
grown-ups who have never acquired
the ice habit.
Children quickly win confidence
upon the ice. 30 they may be given
a pair OF skates and allowed to
work out their own salvation. But
the grown person is so distrustful
Of the strange element that he
tensely holds himself back despite
the assistance of the most prof.
cient Instructors
The mind must dominate the body
In this as in all other effective phys
fcal exercise, and the mind can be
most quickly acted upon in its ac-
customed, or home, environment.
The lack of confidence which
holds back a beginner is a purely
mental state He knows that skat-
ing is a new stunt, while he has
been walking all his life. So he
must learn some bits Of skating
lore, and then when he goes upon
the ice be will be so anxious to
work out some of his new crop of
ideas that he will be Obvious to
all else but the labor before him.
- The method of ice travel or skat-
ing is different from that Of land
travel or walking. Walking is an
honest, Straightforward mode of
progression. You advance tho
right loot. Nlace II mon the ground
SID It takes you forward.
In skating you advance the right
foot, give a push with the left as
you lift it from the ground and this
sends you along on the right until
the force Of the impetus is lost.
Then you advance the left and the

your knee imperceptibly you may
know you are upon the ROAD to
rhythmic, graceful skating, and it
will be remarkably reckless per-
son who henceforth accuses you of
being beginner.
The poor foot muscles are put
to some very difficult adjustments
when they balance the body upon a
narrow skate blade instead of on
the wide ball OF the foot So it Is
we'll to do some foot and ankle ex-
ercises before and after skating,
and especially it is important to
practise them in the intervals be-

strengthen his ankles. But since
the movement involves wearlns
skates one must place several thick
nesses of old burlap or similar ma-
terial between ones skates and the
carpet or polished floor.
After securely fastening the
skates stand with the feet parallel
and assume you are about to ad-
vance upon the left foot. Turn out
the right toe slightly and press
upon the inside OF the skate. Then
raise the right toe with a slight
kick (the shove on diagonally
backward. Remain in this position
as long as possible. Then replace
the right foot and shove Off with
the left
OF course each Of these shoves
OF II done upon the ice would take
you some distance. Hence you
must get the feel" Of the ice I'M
der you at each stroke. This brings
the imagination into play, and to
really enjoy an exercise one must
employ the mind as we'll as the
muscles. And the Imagination is a
mental faculty too often neglected
In the present struggle for tho
material things of life.
The correct balances for the In
ner and outer edges can be learned
in ones room without even wear
ing skates. In order to do these
and similar figures correctly It is
again necessary to get the right
mental attitude; that Is to say, in
doing the two edges the feet follow
the body.
BY bearing this important fact
In mind the beginner will be spared
many a humiliating fall upon the
ice due to keeping the feet In one
direction too long.

upward must be gently inclined in
the desired direction, and then the
feet must supply the motive power
to carry 1t along.

outer edge, hence one should first
acquire its balance. Here Is the
way to do It:

SKatlng also requires good wind,
hence one should perform the above
exercises with windows open and
mouth closed so that the air will be
heated in the nostrils before it de-
sends to the lungs. The health

by the tough tendons which termi-

form the above movements

After these movements are mas
tered one should imagine ones self
upon the ice. At once one realizes
that upon this slippery medium the
above tive movements are resolved
into about two, for upon the floor
you are merely drawing the angles
upon which are formed the circle
OF the finished stroke in rhythmic
skating.
The inner edge of course is
skated upon the inner blade of the
skate, and the free foot is upon the
inside OF the circle described In the
stroke.
The outer edge, though more fire.
quently mentioned, is considerably
harder for the grown-up to learn.
Upon the ice 1t is necessary to
bravely cross one foot in front of
the other, and one at once has the
awful conviction that ones extremi-
ties will soon be hopelessly mixed.
But one can easily learn confidence
and the proper balance in the Sc
clusion of ones own room. This
once acquired one can sally forth
and challenge the glances of all
