HOW WE ARE FORMED
A Few of the Many Marvels of the Hu
man Body
On an average mans body there are
840000 hairs Plucking one every sec
ond It would take him twelve eight
hour working days to pull them all out
In his blood there are 25000000000000
red corpuscles Laid out side by side
they would cover a surface of 3130
square yards
The whole of the blood passes through
a mans heart nearly twice in every
minute It weighs one thirteenth of
the entire body weight and It moves
In different parts of the body at speeds
varying from ten feet to lGGG yards
nearly one mile an hour
The fat of your body Is fluid It be
comes solid only when tho body cools
after death It Is one of your most
useful constituents forming a noncon
ducting sheath to protect you from
cold acting as pads to preserve from
shock on the tips of the Angers the
toes and the heels and lying always
ready as a reserve food supply when
you can get nothing to eat
A little artery passes from your brain
through the skull into the sculp which
acts as a safety valve when the brain
is congested with blood
The skin cannot grow again once
It Is destroyed hence the unsightly
scars left by burns and severe wounds
Only the surface layer can renew
itself When the whole thickness is de
stroyed It never reforms This Is the
more curious as muscles neni Iood
vessels and bones all less to in
jury than the skin can grow again
You are really a water rather than
a land animal Although as a whole
you live on dry land your body con
sists of countless millions of separate
living particles and these are all im
mersed in the water which constitutes
four fifths of jour substance
Within the inner part of your ear
deep hi the bone is a quantity of fluid
which acts as a spirit level and enables
you to keep your balance Chicago

A WISE BRITON
He Half Suspected at the Start That
the Feathers Werent Edible
A Brooklyn man who entertained an
English relative tells this without the
quiver of an eyelid
My cousin from London reached
New York last summer along with a
hot wave The crowds were deep he
fore the soda water fountains on lower
Broadway He remarked that he did
not comprehend how Americans could
swallow that nasty slush
A mere preference I explaned
We have many curious examples of
that kind in this country One of the
most remarkable evidences of insatia
ble appetite for froth rather than sub
stance is that of the American poultry
lover who daily advertises in our New
York papers for 1000 feather beds As
you may well imagine he is said to
have entirely lost his taste for the
flesh of the fowl
Oh really exclaimed the English
man in quiet surprise Nothing more
was said till nine months later when
I opened my mail one day and found
a marked copy of the London Times
which he had sent to me He called
my attention to this extract in an
article on mob rule and lynching in
America It can hardly be possible
that the supply of tar and feathers in
the United States will be sufficient at
the rate the mobs are covering the
bodies of the poor wretches who are
tortured and humiliated before they are
drawn and quartered or burned at the
stake
I fancy you will see your error
after reading this he wrote It is
quite plain the man wanted the beds
for another purpose and not as you
believe to eat Brooklyn Eagle
Youthful Financier
This really happened in New York
the other day
Displeased Parent Molly I find you
have been buying three pairs of gloves
without my permission Why did you
do so Miss Molly aged twelve
Why daddy I was obliged to have
some gloves I hadnt a pair to wear
Displeased Parent It was wrong of
you to buy the gloves without the per
mission either of your mamma or
myself Miss Molly Well never mind
daddy dear they wont cost anything
I had them charged New York Post
How Inconsiderate
Young Ruggles did a very thought
less thing
What was that
He wrote a poem in honor of a
certain young woman who had just
completed her twenty first birthday
and published it in the college paper
Wasnt it a good poem
Very good
Whats the criticism then
Why everybody who wants to find
out can look back any time and discov
er how old tho young woman is
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Not Even the Clock
Two ladles were being shown
through the State Hospital For tho
Insane As they entered a ward one
turned to the other and said I won
der if that clock is right
An inmate standing near overheard
her and instantly replied Great Scott
no It wouldnt be here if it was
LIppincotts
The Difference
Pa whats the difference between
the meaning of prepared and ready
Well theres many a person who
may be prepared to die but I never
saw one who was ready Chicago

AN OBLIGING WAITER
He Got the Five Dishes and He Got
Them In Record Time
He was a stranger In town The
clerk of the hotel had neglected to call
him until twenty minutes after the re
quested hour and as a consequence he
had but a short time for breakfast be
foro he must leave for his train
Going Into the dining room he waiv
ed the formality of having the chair
Iolsurely pushed under him by the
head waiter and accosting one of tho
dusky servers he commanded hur
riedly
Go to the kitchen and get me a
breakfast five dishes of anything that
is ready and get it quick
As the order was accompanied by a
medium sized piece of silver the way
faring man had reason to expect a
fairly good meal
And as to speed of delivery he was
not disappointed In an Incredibly
short time the negro reappeared bear
ing aloft a tray on which sat five
dishes remarkable only for their simi
larity of size and shape When the
tray was lowered sufficiently to bring
the contents of the dishes into focus
the traveler saw his breakfast Ave
dishes of steaming oatmeal accompa
nied by five miniature pitchers of
cream
The negro beamed with satisfaction
at the rapidity with which he had exe
cuted the order The traveler hurried
ly ate one dish of the oatmeal and as
he left the dining room the waiter was
heard to remark
Wondah wot dat man say he want
five dishes foah Chicago Record

MONOPOLIES AND RINGS
Olden Time Schemes For Obtaining
Wealth and Power
The evil of monopolies and rings was
known to ancients Aristotle referring
to them in his Politics and then as
now it was found necessary to hold
them in check by legislation The mo
nopolist was in Roman law called a
dardanarius and punished under the
Lex Julia de Annona Monopolies of
clothing fish and all articles of food
were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno
under pain of confiscation and exile so
that It Is certain that the rings of
the ancient days Avere as mischievous
as they are now At Athens a law lim
ited the amount of corn a man might
buy The earliest recorded instance we
have was a corn ring
There is an ancient tradition that the
king who made Joseph his prime min
ister and committed into his hands the
entire administration of Egypt was
Apepi Apepi was one of the shepherd
kings and ruled over the whole of
Egypt as Josephs pharaoh seems to
have done The prime minister during
seven years of remarkable plenty
bought up every bushel of corn beyond
the absolute needs of the Egyptians
and stored it During the terrible fam
ine that followed he was able to get
his own price and bartered corn suc
cessively for the Egyptian money cat
tle and land and taking one fifth for
pharaoh made him supremely wealthy
It was not merely a provident act but
a very politic one his policy being to
centralize power in the monarchs
hands London Answers
Origin of Attar of Roses
The preparation of the famous attar
of roses according to the Circle seems
to have been discovered by accident
From India we get the tradition The
favorite Sultana of Sehanghir caused a
bath of rosewater to be prepared for
her use The burning sun of India
brought its might upon the bath pre
pared in the royal garden and soon
globules of oil were found floating up
on the fragrant water Deeming the
bath impure and attempting to skim
off the film the attendants broke the
globules and at once the garden was
filled with fragrance The finest es
sence is not gathered from the rarest
and most costly flowers for the fra
grant oil glands are most abundant in
the petals of the free blooming old
common kinds
Machiavelli
Nicolo Machiavelli from whose sur
name has been coined a synonym for
treacherous craft was a writer of
nervous and concise Italian He took
high rank as a dramatist his comedy
of Mandragola being pronounced in
ferior only to the work of Voltaire
Leo X admired it so much that he
had it played before him in Rome
His book on the Art of War won the
praise of so competent a judge as
Frederick the Great of Prussia His
policy in statesmanship embodied in
his work The Prince was the direct
antithesis of Washingtons sentiment
that honesty is the best policy
Misunderstood
Your sentence is to be suspended
