It is obvious that to do this he mustrun quickly Most men when they runbend their bodies forward and keeptheir mouths closed in order to savetheir wind The sills runs with hisshoulders thrown back and trumpeting like an enraged elephant He holdshis long wand at his side like a musket and not trailing in his hand like awalking stick and he wears a softshirt of white stuff and a sleevelesscoat buried in gold lace
He is a perfect ideal of color andmovement and as he runs he bellowslike a bull or roars as you have hearda lion roar at feeding times in amenagerieThere
sometimes two of themrunning abreast dressed exactly alikeand with the upper part of their bodiesas rigid as the wand pressed againsttheir sides and with the ends of theirscarf and the long tassel streamingout behind
As they yell and bellow donkeys andcarriages and people scramble out oftheir way until the carriage they precede lids rolled rapidly by Onlyprincesses of the royal harem and consuls general and the heads of the armyof occupation and the Egyptian armyare permitted two sais other peoplemay have one

and found him willing to submit to the ordeal Accordingly therewas read him an almost
list of words strung togetherwithout any consecutive order andwithout any meaning whatever
The young man stood the timewith his attention deeply tied and hiseyes half closed When the long stringof words had been rend he lookedup cheerfully and repeateU the whole ofthe uninteresting catalogue of wordswithout a single fault Then to showliow carefully his wonderful memoryhad retained every word wentthrough the list backward When thattask was finished he took each
word first third fifth etc andrepeated until the company wasthoroughly convinced that they were inthe presence of the most wonderfulprodigy of memory that the world hadever produced

An Ideal BathAn ideal combination is to soap the
body all over using tepid water beforeI plunging into a cold bath But there
a cold bath daily and who after takingone are apt to be cold and shiveringall the day through For these the best
1 is after a warm bath to spongethe throat and chest with cold waterwhich is most stimulating and especially so where the bather suffers fromchronic colds To insist on a cold bathis just as unwise as to have a baththat is too warm and to remain in ittoo long That is the more generalmistake

THE FLAG REVERSED
Fishermans Emblem That TellsDistress and Hope
One of the frequent sights in theports along the eastern coast is that ofa fishing schooner coming into the harbor with an American flag hoisted atthe mainmast head in its reverse position To the interested spectators thatdag always brings a pang of distressfor it means that one or more of thecrew through some
of the sea But to the members ofthe craft itself the signal is not alwayson emblem of woe The flag is hoistedfrom their viewpoint to notify those
for a long time before theythat the men who have disappear
ed are really lostA stranger to seafaring ways asked
the skipper of one of these fishingschooners the other day what the
signal meant and he was setright by the captain who remarked inthe most cheerful way in the world
Theyre missing out of th crew ofcourse but we havent given them upby a long sight Ye see they mayhave been picked up by some otherboat an carried off to th other sideOh no we dont give them up just because weve missed them Its morethan likely theyll turn up yet XewYork Press
