Boys and Baths. It is a fact well within common knowledge that boys, when worthy of the name, have an instinctive aversion, unconquerable by anything less unreasonable than force, to baths and even to thorough washing of their hands and faces. They consider these rites unnecessary and uncomfortable, resent them as grotesque waste of boyhood's precious time and avoid the performance of them as often and as long as they can. This peculiarity is easily enough explicable on the theory that the child passes through the developmental stages of his race and while in the savage or barbarian stage has the aptitudes and repugnances of savages and barbarians. But quite as much as the boy hates baths he loves to go in swimming, which by the oldsters is also called bathing. That cracks the theory all to pieces and leaves the mystery right where it was before. Nobody has marked the hour when bathing for the civilized human ceases to be torture and becomes pleasure, but certainly it is well beyond boyhood.—New York Times. Facing the Camera. When the wise ones go to be photographed they resign themselves wholly to the photographer, who pays as much attention to every detail of pose as would a famous portrait painter. At rare intervals women send some picture—sometimes it is an illustration from book or magazine—that they have taken a fancy to ahead of them as a suggestion; but, as a rule, they express few definite desires as to their poses. The photographer studies his subjects from every point of view, accentuates their good points by many interesting devices, eliminates their less favorable aspects by others equally so—in short, devotes himself to them for the time being as if the entire universe revolved only for the benefit of the anticipated result. Women often pose as long as two hours, French Mothers. There is one thing that Frenchers do not do enough. That is to arate from their growing boys, to them to the school of life outside home and into situations where must look after themselves. Their happiness is complete only her children around her. Let lie keep them too much apart. Froarise too fearsome ideas of disdain and a too timid attachment to the roll or the maternal city. The difficulty is that it is very reluctantly admitted among the kids that the time must come for nestling to use its own wings. Seen most excellent parents themselves nearly to death because daughter will not acquiesce in ideas or wish to accept the hint of their choice. To a son or a daughter devoted but independent it ten said, "You love me no longer. But if we have touched here somewhat delicate point the good and love of the French mother above all praise, even if some farsightedness and breadth of mind somewhat lacking.—Charles Wagstaff Cosmopolitan. Queer Hatching Processes The Chilean frog, known also as win's frog, is unique in its metamorphosing eggs. The female is normal, but the male has a larger which underlies its whole body connected with its mouth by twings, one on either side of its wrist. When his mate has laid her egg devoted parent takes them into his paws and places them inside his whence they presently pass by their passages into the expectant womb they remain in warm and clusion until they are hatched emerge as newborn tadpoles in light.

Women often pose as long as two hours, during which time they have frequently been photographed in as many as twenty-five different attitudes.—New York Tribune. Bothering a Duelist. Brantome, a French author, in "Dueling Stories of the Sixteenth Century," tells of the code then in vogue. It was allowed in the challenge to stipulate as many different weapons as one pleased without specifying the particular ones with which one would actually fight. The antagonist was bound to provide himself with all. One duelist insisted "on the provision of no less than thirty different kinds of armament, for foot and horseback; nay, he even specified the kind of horse-coursers, blood horses from Spain and Turkey, thoroughbreds, cobs, some in harness with ears and tail clipped, some saddled in jennet style, some with heavy plated armor and so one. The object was not only to take his adversary by surprise, but to put him to enormous expense and exhaust his resources." The Horse Teaches the Man. While there is no royal road to learning the game of polo in its entirety, there is a plebeian way that leads straight to its secrets. Let the novice get on an old broken down polo pony that knows the game all the way through from a lifetime of playing. Then the pony will play the game for him and will be his teacher. The learner will start in with a few strokes of his mallet till his seat and guidance are assured and later his aim and strength of stroke, and gradually he will work into regular play. Then, like other faithful teachers, the wise old horse will be superseded, but his work will live.—Country Life In America. We Are All Queer. Call a girl a chick and she smiles; call a woman a hen and she howls. Call a young woman a witch and she is pleased; call an old woman a witch and she is indignant.

If you call a man a gay dog it will flatter him; call him a pup, a hound or a cur and he will try to alter the map of your face. He doesn't mind being called a bull or a bear, yet he will object to being mentioned as a calf or a cub. Men are queer too. A Troubled Conscience. "I had a horrible dream last night," said Huddleston when he came down to breakfast the other morning. "What was it?" asked his wife. "I dreamed that I was in purgatory and was made to do all the things I had told my friends I would do if I were in their places."—Town and Country. The Contrary Dog. "Can dogs find their way home from a distance?" is a question frequently asked. It's according to the dog. If it is one you want to get rid of he can find his way back from Africa. If it is a valuable one he is apt to get lost if he goes round the corner. Knew the Game. "Aren't you carrying things with a high hand?"

In the first half of the sixteenth century it was noticed that gold ore from the Spanish mines in Darlen sometimes included grains of a white metal which possessed the qualities of what are called the noble metals, but there were no existing records to throw light upon the matter. As the Spaniards prohibited its export, it was another hundred years before the metal began to find its way into Europe, and it was not till about 1750 that its properties were really investigated. In 1901 M. Berthelot, the famous French savant, made an astonishing discovery in Egypt. He was examining a metal box, once the property of an Egyptian queen of the seventh century B. C., and in it he found a plate which at first sight he took to be silver, but afterward turned out to be made of an alloy of gold and platinum. Doubtless the platinum came from the alluvial deposits of the upper Nile. One Way to Catch Frogs. In looking over a book of travels in France, written more than 100 years ago, I came across an interesting bit about the way of catching frogs for market. The author mentions the fact that frogs were sold by the hundred in the markets, that they were classed as fish and that only the hind quarters were eaten. But to come to the main point he says: "To catch the frogs the fisherman puts one of them in a glass vessel, which he dips into a brook, on which the creature, finding itself in so strange a situation confined in the midst of water in a transparent machine, or, I may say, invisible prison, begins to croak most melodiously, and by his croaking makes multitudes of other frogs come to him on every side, as if to rescue their companion, when the frog fisher valiantly seizes his prey."—London Chronicle.

Ever tell when the messenger will come. Walters and Tips. A competent waiter is not a fool by a long shot, and no man is so liberal at any other moment of his life as when he is feeding well. A first class serving man at table can wheedle a quarter or half dollar out of even a stingy blather-skite by some delicate attention, by showing just the least bit of interest in his especial welfare. A German lieutenant in hard lines is waiting in a swell hotel here. His tips amount to $10 a day. He is incognito for the present. University graduates could do quite as well. The principal trouble is that waiting is regarded as too servile, too menial, smacking too much of slavery. But good walters make valuable friends and earn several times as much money as bank clerks and shop salesmen. And the calling might be dignified.—New York Press. Why He Was Called "Good Friday." Alfred Bunn, the celebrated English impresario and operatic librettist of the last century, was not always in an amiable frame of mind, and one day he was seen at a rehearsal holding a wretched "super" by the collar and scolding him savagely. The poor fellow's fright and distress, says F. J. Crowest in his biographical anecdotes of famous musicians, attracted the attention of Mallbran, the famous prima donna. The lady crossed over to the manager and said: "Do you know, I shall call you 'Good Friday.'" "Why?" he asked. "Because," replied Mallbran, "you are such a hot cross bun." Bed Sores. Bed sores are sores that form on those parts of the body that are undermost in the position taken up by the bed occupant. As a rule they never form unless the sufferer is confined to one position. When set up they are most distressing. Whisky or brandy used as a lotion to the healthy skin once daily will prevent them. When there are commencing sores they should be treated with white of egg mixed with powdered alum.

Why do we always talk of putting on our coats and vests when we always put on first our vest and then our coat? Why do we refer to the coverings of our feet as shoes and stockings when the stockings are first put on? Why do we invite people to wipe their feet when we mean their shoes?

"Of course," said the shrewd business man, "I don't want to be sick, but it looks as if I'd have to call in Dr. Borroughs for a couple of weeks." "What for?" demanded his friend.
