6ut of the Mouths of Babes” A Collection of Ingenuous and Naive Sayings by Bright Young Americans. From THE DELINEATOR. F (alili'!"' n S ~IC I’lnral. and v,-ho was four years old, vis- VVjs uncle on the farm. When irfline home, his father asked him be ‘ hai pleased him the most. , oh i liked the geese. I had 3uch -hjising them, and we had a fllU t h \ir goose for dinner one day!” ?r Well ” said his father, “how can ,]i the difference between a •°l e and geese?” g \w. that’s easy,” said Fred. ‘‘One j S a goose and two gooses is geese ” Glad He Stopped Fraying. Little Bob, who for some months had invariably ended his evening yer w jth “Please send me a baby P n i’ ne r,” announced to his mother fl'at he was tired of praying for what he did not get, and that he did not believe dod had any more little boys to send. Xot long afterward he was car ried into his mother’s room very ear lv in the morning to see twin boys, who had arrived during the night. Bo b looked at the two babies criti cally, and then remarked, “It’s a good thing I stopped praying, or there’d been three of them.” Times Had Changed. Jamie was begging his father for a second helping of preserve. “When I was a boy,” said his papa, “my father only allowed me to have one helping-” Jamie was silent for a minute, and then asked, “Aren’t you glad you live with us now, Daddy?” Eddie Wanted a Fan. Eddie, not quite three, wanted to ask his mother for a fan one warm day. To think of the word “fan” was too much for his little brain, so with his little hands he want through the motion of fanning himself and said: "Mumsy, tin Eddie have one of them things to brush the warm off with?” \ Polite Doctor. When the baby came to Mary’s home she was told that the doctor brought it. She thought he kept an unlimited supply. Mary had been taught that politeness was one of the greatest charms a person could pos sess. One day the doctor called, and said, "Mary, we have anew baby at our home; would you like to go with me to see it?” Mary was delighted. The baby was very tiny, only weighing three and one half pounds. When Mary saw this frail bit of humanity she turned her face to the doctor, and said: "I think you are very peelite, to take the smallest for yourself.” He’d Be Half Asleep. Five-year-old James was tempor arily deprived of the use of one eye by a painful sty. As night ap proached, he said to his mother, Mamma, I’ll have to go to bed early to-night, because I haven’t got but one eye to sleep with.’* Carl’s Aspirations. Little Carl, six years old, had been teased a great deal by his uncle about the vocation he would choose when he became a man. One day he overheard his mother and a caller talking about a certain gentleman being a bachelor. Mhen the caller left, his mother noticed that he was unusually quiet a nd seemed to be in a deep study. Hnally he said to her, “Mamma, is a bachelor a good trade?” hat Hilda Liked. A friend asked little Hilda how she Hked going to school. “I like the go *E§ and the coming,” she replied, but I don't like the staying.” Teacher Didn’t Know. “How do you like your teacher, ear little Mary was asked, after nor first day at school. “I like her Jeal well,” said Mary, “but I don’t jhinks she knows much, for she just kee Ps asking questions all the time.” He Wasn’t Afraid. One morning last spring, little Rut h, aged seven, was watching a E)(j adow lark in the adjoining field, and listening to his song. In a little He she came running into the °use to her mother and said, “Moth- | r . he wasn’t a bit afraid! He °°ked at me and then turned round a nd sang another verse.” >lar > and the Kitten. tie Mary was playing with her , et bitten. The kitten scratched and she exclaimed, “You is a aar ned old kitty!” 1( r mother told her must never 1,1 such a naughty word again; a to be sure to impress it on her * I1( ’ washed her mouth out with Soa P and water. i be next day Mary was again play a T * l kitty, and again trouble toark’ Wllell s£ie was k ear d to re km . a is ust the same kind of a ri -’ ou was yesterday!” i Dodger. £at ber had served in the Pith ar ’ an<£ Carol liked t# |g Ug , e rna &y battles in which P-~ had • One day, after listening to the vivid recital of many heroio deeds, Carol said: “Father, you went through all those battles?” “Yes.” "And the shot and shell fell all around you?” “Yes.” “And the soldiers were falling and dying everywhere?” “Yes.” “Well, father, what a fine dodge* you must have been!” What Helen AVould Do. Mamma and baby Randall, in his high chair, sat at the breakfast table, their backs to the fire. The room was not very warm. Little Helen, aged four years, sat beside her father at the other end of the table. Shivering, she said: “My back is cold. If I was a mamma I would take my baby in my lap, and if I had a little girl about the size of me I’d let her sit where Randall is.” Still Running. Edwin, aged four, owned a picture book in which a fierce looking cow was running after a small boy. He looked at it a long time, when care fully closing the book he laid it away. A few days later he got the book again, and turned to the picture. Bringing his chubby fist down on the cow, he exclaimed in a tone of tri umph, “She ain’t caught him yet!” Donald Knew. Margaret, aged ten, was a begin ner in history. “Mamma,” she asked, “what does ‘behead’ mean?” “To cut off a man’s head, dear.” There was a moment of silent study; then another question. “What does ‘defeat’ mean, mam ma?” Little Donald, aged four, was in terested. “I know, mamma,” was his logi cal conclusion. “ ‘Defeat’ means to cut a man’s feet off.” The Largest Giver. I want to tell you of an inquiry of my little five-year-old Helen. She attends Sunday-school regularly. Re turning home one Sunday, she said: “Mamma, every Sunday the man reads how much money each class gives, and then he tells how much Total gives, and Total gives more than any one. He must be a rich man. Who it Total, mamma?” What Willie Saw. When Willie saw a peacock for the first time he said to his mother: “Oh, mamma, you should have seen it! Electric lights all over the ferns and a turkey underneath!” A Budding Philologist. Bobbie, aged five, saw a cow graz ing in his mother’s flower garden, and shouted, “Scat! scat!” The cow didn’t seem to be much intimidated, and calmly ate on. Three-year-old Mary, dancing with excitement, exclaimed: “Tell him to ‘scow,’ Wobbie, tell him to ‘scow!’ ” The Same Way. We were taking a little trip into the country. The only vacant seats in the train were turned so as to face each other. I told my little girl, four years of age, to take the seat in front of me, as riding backward would not make her sick. She hes itated, and said: “I know it won’t make me sick, but if I ride backward will I go to the same place you are going to?” BACTERIA AND MONEY. Paper Currency as a Vehicle For Dis ease Germs. In a bacteriological study of soiled paper money, published in the Popu lar Science Monthly, Mr. Warren W. Hilditch, of Yale University, found the numbers of bacteria present on the bills ranged from 14,000 up to 556.000, with an average for twenty one bills of 142,000. There seemed to be no connection between the amount of dirt and the number of bacteria present; the cleanest-looking bill that he used had next to the high est count (405,000), while the bill that looked the dirtiest had but 38,- 000. When a bill has been in circula tion for a short time and has become somewhat cracked, and its peculiar glaze worn off, the bacteria very eas ily cling to it without the presence of dirt and grease All inoculations gave negative results, the time limit being placed from six to seven weeks. The author concludes, after a careful study of the subject, that “money con stitutes an unimportant factor in the transmission of disease.” We want and certainly need a more frequent redemption of our soiled and worn bills, yet the facts and evidences at hand do not justify us in alarming the public needlessly by rash state ments concerning our currency. Ad mitting the possibility that money may act as a medium of transmission, certainly the failure of any virulent disease germs to manifest themselves in the foregoing experiments will al low us to feel a bit easier in regard to dirty money.

Could Li ay Slate-Pencil in One—* Hands in Dreadiul State—Disease Defied Treatment for 7 Years —Cured by Cuticura. “I had eczema on my hands for about 6even veais and during that time 1 had used several so-called remedies,- together with physicians’ and druggists’ prescrip-- tions. The disease was so bad on my hands that I could lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil. 1 kept using remedy after remedy, and while some gave partial relief, none relieved as much as did the first box of Cuticura Ointment. I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my hands were perfectly cured after two boxes of Cuticura Oint ment and one cake of Soap were used. W. H.
