"This la a lavatory episode and not
so much of an episode at that, ex
cept that It made me think a couple
of thoughts which I had hitherto over
looked," said the man with the pack
age that was patently a pound ol
candy. "Maybe you'll call it an epi
gram. I don't know. But I heard it
in one of those places where the long
rows of white bowls and hot and cold
spigots and paper towels and tipsy
bottles of liquid substitute for soap
are.
"There were two boys there, office
boy type. One was washing his
hands. Also a man, office man type,
who Joshed the boy who waa wash
ing. Told him be needed bath by
the looks of aa much of him aa waa
visible—and such as that The boy
botly denied that he waa filthier than
the average. Filially the merry Ud
der went out. The accused boy turned
to his companion and exclaimed, part
ly In indignation and mostly in
pmusement, at the absurdity of the
idea:
"'He thinks everybody's hands is
as clean as his is.'
"Now that struck me as right il
luminating. I have long wondered
how boys can live with dirty hands
and uncombed hair. I have a young
aon of my own and I know that no
•mount of moral sausion will make
'em wssh and comb regularly. But
don't you see, a boy's hands are not
dirty unless they are dirty for a boy's
hands. It's that same old stuff over
•gain about everything being rela
tive.
"That boy who seemed to think
cleanliness was an immutable con
dition, something that Just happened
and couldn't be avoided or attained,
was my boy's benefactor, thongh he
didn't know It I realise now that
boy's hands are clean when they
don't look it to the parental eye.
Ill not bawl out my dear boy for
coming to the dinner table with grimy
lingers any more. I know now that
It will all come rifht in dm When
he gets to be as old aa I am his
hands will be as clean aa mine 'is.'
"One more precious thought: Did
you ever sit in a car alongside a
delivery boy or a molder or a laborer
and shudder in ill-concealed horror
at sight of his dirty hands or face?
Tou are in the habit of supposing
that your own hands and face are
clean, I suppose? Well, they are
not, except relatively. Your hands
may be clean compared to the boy's,
but they are disgustingly dirty com
pared to comparatively clean hands,
such as a surgeon has when he's all
ready to go ahead with the slashing.
Think it over and don't let yourself
get puffed up with false pride."
How It Feels to Freeze.
Freeslng to death is preceded by a
drowsiness which makes the end pain
less, the body actually feeling warm
and going comfortably to sleep. Ex
perimenta have been made with ani
mals to show Just how freeiing to
death proceeds. In one of these ex
perimenta, In which the *n'""i was
placed in a temperature of from 125
to 150 degreea below zero, the breath
ing and heart beats were at first
quickened, the organic heat of the
body actually rising above the nor
mal, which is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit
This showed a sudden and intense ef
fort on the part of the functions to
preserve the body's temperature. Then
violent heart action gave out sudden
ly, and death came when the tem
perature of the body dropped to 71
degrees Fahrenheit—Popular He-
Silenced.
A New York politician,

who' kept shouting, "Liar! Liar!" Fi

Know his name will write It on a slip

000 to one that no girl could ever go
so far as that, try as faithfully as she
might But she can surely lean to
love her husband's family, and she
will add immensely to his comfort by
so doing. Their "ways" are doubtless
very different from hers. Sometimes
they receive her with eoldnese and
suspicion tat by practice and kind
ness and loving attentiona she can
usually win them. It la her mother's
part to teach her this patience and
kindness before she is married. The
art of being a good daughter-in-law la
a noble one, and like all other arts
it can, to a considerable extent, be
taught—Leslie's Weekly.
What Doctor Can Beat Thlet
In less than three months a phy
sician of Portland, Me^ has treated
profeesionally five patients represent
ing five successive generations of the
same family, beginning with a cente

of descent down to her great-great
grandson. He first attended the old
lady, who waa ninety-nine years old,
for senile gangrene resulting in her
death. During her illness be waa
called on to prescribe for her daugh
ter, aged aeventy-five. Next this
daughter's son. a florist aged fifty,
fell in and required attention. Fol
lowing him. a eon, a clerk of twenty*
aeven, found himself in need of medi
cal aid. And laatly to the clerk'a wife
was born a male child, whom the doc
tor was called upon to assist Into
the world, aa he had been summoned
to ease the great-great-grandmother'a
exit from it barely three months be
fore.
