The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

Up to the age Of 10, twins are re-
garded as extremely cute. And they
usually are. Looking alike and dressed
alike, they are interesting to the be-
holder. Natures handiwork Is impress
Sive. When maturity begins to assert
itself and youth begins its transforms
ton, twins cease to be so cute. oc-
casionally they are able to cash in on
the fortune of birth. They are often
recruited by the stage, where, If they
demonstrate talent of a kind, they may
wrest good living.
There are two young men In Wash
ington who are twins. They resemble
each other to such a remarkable degree
that their best friends have had diff
fculty in telling Mike from Ike
Teachers were bewildered when they
attended school, and it is said that the
matter was solved by sending one of
the, boys to one school and the other to
another school. In this way they could
be distinguished.
Two Of the most successful young
women We know are twins. Each is a
writer and artist. Each displays the
same style Of drawing.
Believe It or not. in our school days
there were twin brothers. One of them
possessed distinct fair for study.
Athletics had no place in his life. At

mates, probably because he was OF an
heroic order of man. The studious
brother didn't rate. and was as I'M
popular as his twin brother was
popular.
one day after school, certain pug
nacious lad lay in wait for the studious
one. He had been aggravated, 1t
seems, because he asked the student to
help him in math and received frigid
retort. Just for that he would take a
punch at him.
When school was dismissed the twin
walked down the street with his books
under his arm. When he reached the
classmate, who informed him that he
was going to beat him up. With that
he swung at the head of the twin. who
dropped his books to the pavement.
Instead of pickering or taking to his
heels. the twin sailed into his adversary
and the air was filled with flying fists.
When the dust settled, the militant one
was on the ground with a pair Of
sinners and a badly cut ear. He had
picked on the athletic brother. The
studious twin had remained in school
to finish an essay.
X n
We know Of another instance in which
twins figured. One of the boys became
involved in a police affair and was ar
rested. He was sent to reform school.
Later he got into a serious scrape and
was sent to Jail to think it over

pursued the honest and even tenor of
his way, winning the esteem and conf

Base Of the Brain.

Far be 1t from me to imply that man
is not 50 wonderfully made. I suppose
1t is quite necessary to have direct con-
nection between the air passages of the
nose and the vital brain centers. The
olfactory nerves and their brain GEN.
ters govern the sense of smell, and
without q keen sense Of smell man
would not get along so well, even now;
and originally man depended much
more upon his nose to warn him of
danger and lead him to food than he
does now. Doubtless that explains how
he happens to have q little sieve be-
tween his brain and his nose; doctors
call 1t the cribriform (sieve- like plate
Of the ethmoid bone; 1t Is full Of holes,
among them the holes through which
the nerves Of smell pass. 1t is very
thin and frail, compared with the rest
Of the bony skull. Through this cribri-
form plate or frail sieve probably the
germs of cerebro-spinal meningitis
brain fever. epidemic meningitis en-
ter from the nasal passages. Maybe
you don't know, but we doctors know
that the disease mentioned is one of
the respiratory infections, and the ILL
timer might readily dismiss as cold;
modern physicians seek for the specific
germ. the meningococcus. by taking
culture from the mucous membrane
where nose and throat join, whether
endeavoring to diagnose the attack In
the early stage or to detect healthy
carrier" Of the meningitis germ.

One Of the beauty problems that are
almost sure to arise during ones va

or an evenings promenade on the beach
The red swellings that result from insect
bites or stings are not only uncomforta-
BILE but unsightly.
In treating the annoying problems,
one must remember to distinguish be-
tween bites and stings. The singing
insects, like bees, hornets, spiders,
caterpillars, beetles and centipedes,
leave their stings In ones flesh. These
stings should be gently pressed out
with the aid Of comedo extractor.
Then ammonia or some other remedy
may be applied to relieve the soreness
The biting insects, like the too ia

from applications of ammonia. Spirits
Of camphor, vinegar, lemon Juice. soda,
carbolized vaseline, soap, and menthola-
tum are also favorite remedies for
soothing bites or stings and reducing
the ugly. red swellings.
All sorts OF suggestions have been
made with view of warding of in
sect attacks. Pennyroyal, citronella
and certain other strong smelling sub
stances have their advocates. The
most effective and simplest way to
avoid bites and stings from outdoor
insects Is to keep ones skin covered

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
THE BATTLE OF THE ANTS.
BY HENRY DAVID THoREAU.

Of Davis and Hosmer. There was not
one hireling there. have no doubt that
1t was q principle they fought for, as
much as our ancestors, and not to avoid
a three-penny tax on their tea, and the
results of this battle will be as tmpor-
tant and memorable to those whom 1t
concerns as those Of the Battle OF
Bunker Hill. at least.
I took up the chip on which the three
have particularly described were strug-
CLING. carried It into my house and
placed it under a tumbler on my win
dow sill in order to see the issue.
Holding a magnifying lens to the first
mentioned red ant I saw that, though
he was assiduously gnawing at the fore
leg Of his enemy, having severed his re-
manning feeler, his own breast was all
torn away, exposing what vitals he had
there to the jaws Of the black warrior.
whose breastplate was apparently too
thick for him to pierce. and the dark
carbuncles Of the sufferers eyes shone
with ferocity such as war only could
excite.
They struggled half an hour longer
under the tumbler, and when locked
again the black soldier had severed the
heads Of his foes from their bodies, and
the still-living heads were hanging on
either side of him like CHASTITY trophies
at his saddle5ow, still apparently as
firmly fastened as ever, and he was en-
deavoring with feeble struggles, being
without feelers and with only the rem
nant Of a leg, and I know not how many
other wounds, to divest himself 1T them;
which at length, after half an hour
more, he accomplished.
I raised the glass; and he went on
over the window sill in that crippled
state. Whether he finally survived that
combat, and spent the remainder OF his
days in some invalid hospital do not
know, but I thought that his industry
would not be worth much thereafter.
1 never learned which party was lie
torious, nor the cause of the war, but I
felt for the rest Of that day as If I had
my feelings excited and narrowed by
witnessing the struggle, the ferocity and
door.
: I should perhaps add that the battle
which I witnessed took place in the
presidency Of Polk, five years before the
passage Of webster's fugitive-slave bill.

Everyday Psychology
Fxation.
~ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

F1Xatl0n.
The term fixation in modern psychol-
ogy has about as many definitions as
1t has uses. And its uses are legion.
The orthodox psychologists speak Of
"habit fixation," meaning thereby def
mite connections that are established
between the nerve cells. These connec-
lions or fixations are responsible for
the orderly performance OF skills OF all
kinds. In this sense a fixatton Is q
habit.
According to the so-called New
Psychology" fixs ton Is a decided
preference of a child for one of its
parents. For example, a male child
usually prefers the mother, while the
female usually prefers the father. Other
names for these respective parental
preferences are mother complex" and
father complex" They are often in
differently called the Oedipus complex
DR.. Freud Of Vienna bases his entire
psychology on the theory that the
Oedipus complex Is universal human
propensity. One of Freud's Sympa-
thizers says that the Oedipus complex
is the Ark Of the Covenant Of Freudian
psychology. When the oedipus complex
Is very strong and persistent, the term
fxation is used.
In psychoanalytic language. fixation
Is essentially an instinct. Some psy-
biologists deny. however, that there is
any such instinct in the native equip
ment of human beings. All they will
admit Is that such family fixationS are
mere habits.
While the foregoing are the two prin-
cipal meanings of f1Xation, various and
sundry writer's use the same term in
referring to morbid fears, such as a fear
of germs, a fear Of high places, a fear
Of blushing, race antipathy. personal
dislikes of all kinds.
1t makes no difference II you agree
with the orthodox psychologists that
habit rules the world, or with the
Freudian psychologists that family rela-
tons rule the world. or with q lot Of
other psychologists that fear rules the
world, you can still use the word fxa-
ton to explain what you mean.

wells that are attached to the edge OF
the hat and left to flare free of the face
at front and sides. Still another type
of veil is straight, and is worn over the
ewes and nose. These are usually at
tached to the hat and arranged just
loosely enough so that they do not actu-.
ally rub the nose or run the risk OF
being entangled with long eyelashes.
This return of the veil in Occidental
France is interesting, In view of the fact
that the conventional heavy veil Is be-
ing discarded by women of fashion all
through the Orient in countries where
for centuries women have been required
by religious laws to wear them.
For your little daughter you will find
two or three play aprons made OF mex
