An averaged sized man has, as some statistical crank has figured out. about 2,500 Inches of skin on his body, and In each square inch there are some 2,800 sweat glands. There are over 3,500 glaods In the palm of the hand, while the number on the entire sur face la about 7,000,000. Each of these sweat glands is about a quarter of an Inch long, therefore the average man has something like twenty-eight miles of tubing In his skin. Valoable Biblical MSB. Parts of a magnificent manuscript of the gospel of St Matthew were found last year near Slnope and bought for the Blbllothecue Natlonale at Paris.

As & means of reducing the taxes for the maintenance of the police de partment of Glasgow it has been pro posed that 50 per cent of the extra rent charged by landlords of public houses above the sums which such houses, minus tbe licenses, would let for, shall bo paid into the municipal treasury. There are many public houses in Glasgow, the rents of which are enormously out of proportion to the accommodations afforded, and It is argued tbat tbe landlords ought to be made to share their excessive profits with tbe city.

(Copyright, 1301, by Dally Story Pub. co.) As a hostess Mrs. McCormtck was a success. Ever since old Jake McCormtck had passed Into the great unknown, nearly eight years beforo my story com mences, leaving behind him the only two things that ever crept Into his heart hid young wife and his mil lionsMrs. McCormick had, socially, reigned in L supreme. L waa a college town old, se date, select To have belonged there for generations was a guarantee of re spectability: to be new was damna tion. Society was as its forbears had made it then came Mrs. McCormick. Old Jake bad started life as a black smith: later he made millions In oil. Mrs. McCormick never told her family history. She was young, pretty, rich and a widow; who could ask more? Tbe patriarchs of L looked on her coming with Indifference; one day they awoke to find her their bright particular star. Her dinners were tri umphs In the culinary art, her decora tions were perfection, wall-flowers were unknown at her dances, and happy tbe fraternity tea or college ball that secured her as a patroness. Today waa one of her Saturday functions to which the elite of L was bidden and gladly came, and, de spite pouring rain, the rooms were filled. Mrs McCormick, fair, gracious, if lit "So you did come after all." railing, moved from group to group and then paused near the- doorway where a tall man was standing ab sently watching the bright scene. "So you did come, after all?" she said, giving him her hand for tbe briefest possible moment "It was ery good of jrou." "Yes, and now I am going to claim my reward; let me talk to you for a few minutes." She laughs as she sinks down on a small sofa and draws ber skirts aside to make room tor him. "Just flvs minutes, then; 1 am dut somewhere else now. What can I do for you?" "Tell me the attraction. Recitation, Spiritualism, Theosophy, Punch and Judy or what?" "Nonsense," says Mrs. McComlck, coloring; "only palmistry." "Only palmistry!" he repeats. "Well?" For a moment there Is a silence and the woman is watching him under her long lashes keenly. Most women like John Radnor, and Mrs. McCormick is very much of a woman. Every detail of an old utory that had gone the rounds of L Just after her coming is clear in her mind, and she is won dering Just how much of it Is true. John Radnor hardly looks like a man disappointed in love blighted a woman-hater, as some people say he Is. True, he is 38 and unmarried. The hair on his temples is very gray and there are deep lines about the stern mouth that can softea wonderfully at times. Mrs. McCormick ba9, however, little faith in the one-love theory, still less in village gossip. She is roused by Radnor repeating his last word and plunges in without more ado. "Do you remember the Comptons? I thought so," as Radnor makes a ges ture of assent "You know the son got into some trouble, disgraced him self, and tbe blow killed Professor Compton. The family moved out West somewhere and we all lost sight of them." She paused and again watched him narrowly. Again Radnor makes the same assenting gesture, his face ex presses polite interest, tbat is all, and she goes on: "Well, to make a long story short, I heard by the merest chance that Mrs. Compton and the daughter were back here, supporting themselves by coach ing boys for the Preparatory School; they were always popular with the faculty, you know. I went to see them and discovered that Adele was a good amateur palmist: Indeed, she is a veritable little witch. I persuaded her, for a consideration, of course, to come here this afternoon and read palms." "Indeed, this Is very Interesting, but palmistry don't you think it Is a little absurd?" Mrs. McCormick laughed and there was a world of relief In tbat laugh. "Go and find out for yourself," she said. "I have talked to you long enough." "A good surgeon uses a sharp knife," she said aa be left her, "and I think I have won." In the meantime Radnor had Joined a laughing group at the other end of tbe room. "Here comes Mr. Kaunor," cried a pretty falr-halred girl In blue. "Come and have your hand read; we all want to know your future." "Many thanks," said Radnor, laugh ingly; "I shall be very gUd to ac commodate you If Mies Compton Is not too tired." As he spoke his eyes met those of the palmist for an Instant his grave and determined; hers f-srkling and defiant. What a cbildlsh-looklnf little thing she was! Radnor seeing her now In her short gypsy dress, her eavy braids of dark hair hanging ove her shoul ders, could have easily imagined that u Msven years since incur tut meet ing had been swept awa, so little changed was she. I am not tired," she said quietly, though the pale face and deep purple shadows under her eyes belied her words. She took his hands in her cold, slender one3 and tbe onlookers drew closer about them. You have a long life, good health, no nerves to speak of, rather cold; yet you win people easily. Mathematical, logical, argumentative, a free-thinker In religious matters, very ambitious, proud and self-willed, fond of luxury and not afraid to work for it Youi success in life is assured." And his marriage," cry half ti dozen voices; "has he ever been In love? Is he ever going to be mar ried?" And Adele went on, but a little more slowly this time. "You have been in love twice, once in your early youth; the trace is al most faded out. The second time when 30 or 31; the line is cut and barred, some obstacle I (she is breathing quickly) I do not see any more." She drops the hands and Is turning away with a half-repressed gesture ol relief, but the listeners are clamoring for the end. Adele shakes her head smiling. "That is the end; remember the powers of palmistry are limited." And tbe crowd moves away, laughing, protesting, leaving Radnor and the cheiromant together. For a moment be i3 silent In the great hall the band is playing a wild fantastic Hungarian dance. In the drawing-room he can hear the murmur of fifty voices, among them Mrs. Mc cormick's, silvery, a little too incisive, but highbred withal. Then he moves closer. "Adele," he says softly, and there is a world of tenderness In his voice, but the girl does nor. move. "Adele, shall I tell the end that palm istry does not reveal? The story ot a lonely man Into whose life a young girl came, of the brief dream of hap piness, of the pride that sent him away, of the seven long years of fruit less search, of waiting and hoping for the word that never came, and then shall I tell the end, Adele, or will you?" She cannot speak, but the dark eyes are slowly raised to nis ana men droop lower than ever. In the shadow of the palms Radnor lays one large brown hand over the two little trembling ones and says softly, "My little girl, my darling." Twenty minutes later Mrs. McCor mick is holding out a gracious hand to Radnor, who is among the last to go- "Well, did you find out?" she says, and Just then the little cheiromant, a water-proof over her bright dress, the hood covering the heavy hair, comes down the stairs. Radnor looks from one woman to the other, and then one of his rare, brilliant smiles softens the gravity of There is nothing rocky shout the cradle of liberty.

"Yes, I found out." He hes itates an instant and then says: "I think I must congratulate you, Mrs. McCormick, on the most successful af fair of the season." And as she murmurs her thanks he and Adele go out together, leaving her sticiing in the doorway. Gold Teeth Out of Style, It Is no longer considered good form to make a dlBplay of gold teeth. "The custom has grown to such an extent,'' said a prominent eastern dentist tbe other day, "tbat young men and worn en actually had small holes drilled In teeth that were perfectly sound, in order that gold fillings might be In serted. Even sets of false teeth for older people were thus decorated. Gold caps were in great demand, and were often put on when there was no occa slon, simply because people thought they looked well. I remember seeing a chorus girl who came over with an English company several years sgo who had a diamond Inserted In one of her front teeth. Her smile was liter ally dazillng. All that Is changed now, though. Tbe tendency seems to be to preserve aa much as possible the natural whiteness of the teeth, and sometimes enamel Is placed over a gold filling."
