How all the world loves a baby! It
Is human affection that crops out
everywhere, and it is good for the peo
ple. Tha other day a tired woman
carrying a sleeping infant "was wait-"
lng for a car. The baby was heavy.
One look at the woman told a story
of devotion and care. It was In her
eyes, in the lines of ber face. Mothers
give up much for their little ones. Out
of the corner drug store came a tall,
fashionably attired man, who took in
the situation at a glance. "Let me
hold the baby for you, madam," be
said, and the child never stirred as it
was transferred to his strong arms. It
was ten minutes before the car ar
rived. Hundreds of persons looked in
quiringly at the tall man, the faded
woman and the sleeping baby. No
body laughed, for ail realized that a
good fellow was doing a bit of kind
ness, and other men wished they bad
volunteered. Finally "mother" was in
a car seat, the baby In her arms, and
the tall man touched his hat and went
on about his business, feeling the bet
ter for his act. In Louisville a baby
girl was playing with a rag doll m a
street car. She "mothered it" and kiss
ed It, and all of the passengers were
interested. Suddenly the car lurched,
and the doll fell from a window to the
pavement "Stop!" was the cry from
the passengers. Every man In the car
was on hla feet, and a dozen hands
clutched the bell rope. "Stop this car!"
was the command, and the motorman
brought the vehicle to a standstill. Half
a dozen men started down the track.
The swiftest got the doll after a walk
of a square, and the party proudly
tramped back to the car and gave to
the "little mother" her offspring. The
reward was a smile, and baby smiles
are worth almost any price you can
think of.
C. D. Gibson, the author of the "Gib
son Girl," declares that women are
growing taller, and he is supported in
his statement by certain philosophers
who have loitered on the seashores at
fashionable bathing places for the pur
pose of making observations. These
authorities declare the average height
of the American girl of the present
is 5 feet 10 inches, and they give it
as their deliberate opinion that the
girl who lives to subdue man with her
smile along about the year 2000 will
be more than 7 feet tall. Mr. Gibson
claims to have positive information
that the average height of American
girls has increased at least two Inches
during the last ten years, a fact which
he says Is due to their athletic exer
cises; and he sees no reason why they
should stop growing as long as they
continue to play golf, swing clubs.

SLANG OF OUR COLLEGES.
Interestinic Array of HarlMrim tbat
Only (students Can Interpret.
In an article on college slang Pres
ident Thwiug of the Western Reserve
university presents an Interesting array
of words which the laymen would try
In vain to understand without the aid
of a teacher or a glossary. Different
languages, he Rays, have different
words and phrases, "and a few words
and phrases are common to many, such
as 'swipe,' 'soak,' 'spike,' 'Josh,' 'hen-
medic,' 'goose egg,' 'gring,' 'crib,' and
tnany others Indeed. But there are
other words tbat are used only at a
few colleges. A student, for Instance,
in one college may 'bat' (make a per
fect recitation) and may sit In a 'bear
box' (the faculty pew In chapel). On
going from church he may become n
'belt chaser,' walking with a 'coed' and
going to bis dinner be has a 'berry
(a good thing). In the afternoon be
prepares himself for 'bib' (that is, for
recitation In the bible). It la possible
tbat the 'belt chaser' walks with a 'bird'
(a girl) to the 'bird cage' (a dormitory
for women students). It Is also possible
that the 'bird' may be a 'birdie (one
who is eager to make acquaintance
with men without an introduction).
"He may prefer to call bis walk a
pike,' and also be may prefer to walk
with a 'plugger' rather than with a
'bird,' and while walking to talk about
polek' (political economy) or 'point'
(political science).
"A student may be a 'moke' (an easy
going fellow), and In tLat case he Is
apt to be 'porky' (very poor) In bis
works, and consequently gets a 'zip'
(a zero In marks), and Is In danger of
being 'rusticated' (suspended). Of
course, he must become a 'repeater'
(one required to repeat a year's work),
If be hopes ever to get his 'rag (diplo
ma). If the man Is an 'elie' (a good stu
dent) he will probably get the reputa
tion of being a 'whale (a phenomenal

hard and 'polea' (prepares a lesson by
Sard study).

merated five distinct sources of peril

and that nature knows nothing about

The most specious of those arguments
lsthe alleged risk that the Introduction
of wild water would coagulate the al

But Is it not evident that those organs
should be allowed a casting vote In the
decision of that controversy?
Dr. Schrodt, the author of "Natur

that our diet is not half fluid enough,
and demonstrates that organic warmth
will soon reduce over-cold beverages to
the right medium, and that a craving
which nothing but fresh water will sat

Is suffering from an excess of caloric

subtle chemistry of the organism will
eventually find means to satisfy Its
needs from internal sources, just as the
agony of a famished man wlllglveway
to a dull torpor; the system has made
another foreod loan on the reserve
stores of Its own tissues, and made the
sufferer a little more comfortable,
though also a little leaner. Even thus
the disappointed stomach will make
shift to lead moisture from some other
part of the organism where It Is less
sorely needed and the distress subsides,
though a feeling of vague discomfort re
mains, suggesting tbat the sort of
moisture reabsorbed from the lower ali

stomach wanted.
