Next day the physician called, looked
at the chart and was puzzled TO find

JOKE ON SCHOOL VISITOR
Fortunately Hamilton Mabie Was Well
Able to Appreciate Unconscious
Humor of the Children.

The late Hamilton w. Mabie, the
well-knOwn American essayiSt, was
one of those genial men who enjoyed
a joke on themselves. Illustrating this
phase of Mr.. Mabies character, it is
told that when he was a student Mr..
Mabie made an address in which he
told this story:
He had visited a school in Philadel-
phia in which there was a daily fire.

students, children, what would you
do if fire were to break out in this
buildingT The children all repeated
in chorus, 1--WE would rise in our
places, step into the aisle, and march
quietly out of the building" On the
morning when Mr.. Mabie visited the
school, while he was sitting quietly on
the platform, the teacher stepped be-
fore the pupils and said, children,
what would you say if 1 were to tell
you that Mr.. Mabie is to speak to you

Interesting Life Statistics.

On the authority of experts repre-
Senting fOrtythree leading life insur-
ance companies in the United States,
it appears that a spinster lives longer
than a married woman. Business wOm-
en- live longer than business men. A
woman who takes an endowment pol
icy lives longer than a woman who
takes an ordinary life policy. 1t is not
easy to explain why an unmarried
woman survives a matrOn, nor why a
business woman survives a bust
ness man, but the longevity of the
endowment woman is believed to be
due to the determination to live until
the policy natures. Will power is
hardly less important in many cases
than physique, and must always be
reckOned with. Even in disease q man
or woman possesses a natural tend
ency toward health, and cures which
often are attributed to medicine are
really the assertion of the will.-Cap-

When the Laugh Is on You.

People are not very much inclined
to laugh at the girl who is always
ready to join in the laugh against her
self. 1t is the one who assumes airs
of tremendous superiority, and seems
to feel herself infallible, who needs to
be afraid of making a slip. Even If
people laugh at the girl who laughs at
herself, there is always a tenderness
in it, a kindliness that takes out all
the sting. Learn to enjoy a joke on

VAP0R BATHS IN LAPLAND
Writer'S Strenuous Experience Of
Cleansing Process Finishes With
Being Bastinadoed.

In Wide World Frank Hedges But
Ter describes a vapOr bath in the land
of the Lapps. He says:
The bathhOuSe is a small wooden
structure generally situated some way
from the dwelling house. It is divided
into two compartments, one to undreSs
in, while the other contains the oven
which produces the steam. The oven
is arched with large stones or pebbles,
and heated by a fire placed beneath.
Undressing in the first room, one en-
ters the heated compartment After a
short rest on a wooden form or bench,
which contains a place for the head,
the attendants come in and bathe you.
Cold water is thrown over the stones
and the kissing vapOr soon sends up
a cloud of steam. The higher you sit
from the floor the greater the heat. AS
more water is thrown over the red-hOt
stones the vapOr becomes so intense
that one can hardly breathe. We were
soon gasping for breath and covered
with a prOfuse perspiratiOn which is
sued from every pore of the skin.
Hanging up in the room were tender
branches or twigs in a green state and
retaining their leaves. Dipping these
in water, the attendant began laShing

seemed quite red with the switching.
