daughter of Sir Richard Horner Paget a descend ant of the John Horner of Henry VIILs time who is Immortalized in the rhyme about Little Jack Horner The Christmas pie of the rhyme was sent to the king by the abbot of Glas tonbury Horner was the bearer and the plum he took from it was a deed to a manor with which he laid the foundation of the greatness of his family The latest thing in insurance is to take out a policy on ones fingers In the case of a musician especially one whose livelihood depends on skill in playing an Instrument finger insurance is quite an important matter How Important Jan Kubelik the famous Bo hemian violinist considers It may be judged from the fact that before start ing on his present American tour he took out a policy of 50000 on his fin gers This Is at the rate of 5000 a digit The Insurance was obtained In London The policy provides that should Kubeliks fingers be temporarily injured so thathe misses any performances he Is to be paid 2000 JAX KUBELIK for every nonappearance up to twenty five If twenty five performances are missed then the tour is to be consid ered closed and the face value of the policy Is to be turned over to the vio linists manager The insurance com pany insists that the violinist take ex tra good care of his precious fingers and he usually wears gloves that look like muffs Hugh A DIusmore who had an al tercation with Governor

ney of the Fourth judicial district was a presidential elector served three years as minister to Korea and twelve years in congress During the last ses sion a prosperous looking individual walked up

doorkeeper disappearing behind the swinging doors that lead to the floor of the house In a moment he returned and said Mr Dfnsmo Is not on the flo Hes gone out and wont come back no mo You may And him In room fo foty fo George E Ide president of the Home Life Insurance company and also presi dent and director of the Larchmont Na tional bank gave some testimony fore the Armstrong committee which excited no little surprise Though the head of an insurance company he said that he carried no Insurance on his life either In his own or any other company He also said that unlike the big three companies of the insurance world tho Home Life had never had a so call ed yellow dog fund for Influenc ing Insurance leg islation or for any QEOEQE E IDE Blmllar purpose but he admitted that some officers of the company had been given to the practice known In Insur ance parlance as rebating HAIR AND They Have PInyed Important Purls In the WorldH History In centuries past the human hair played an Important part In all judicial proceedings Those that were permit ted to wear beard and hair had rights that could not be claimed by the shorn and shaved When men made oath they touched their beard and hair and women placed the finger tips of tho right hand on their tresses Servants were obliged to have their hair cut and if a freedman went into slavery he had to divest himself of his hirsute adornments An adult adopted by foster parents was obliged to have his beard shaved and the shaving of beard and hair was a punishment In flicted on criftilnals The jurisprudence of our ancestors dealt with punishment by skin and hair for small offenses and by neck and hand for greater crimes There has always been more or less superstition about hair Great strength was Implied by it and wizards and witches knew of concoctions of hair by which they poisoned enemies Cats hair was especially named in the cate gory of poisonous hairs and even at the beginning of the seventeenth cen tury Paulus Zacchlas a famous physi cian writes of the virulent poison of the hair of cats Among civilized people such supersti tious beliefs have gone out of existence and only Malays give their enemies tiger hairs in broth to kill them THE HUMAN RIBS Man Has Twelve Pair and Woman Has JuHt the Suine A man who had been sick said he was so thin he could count his ribs When I heard this statement I asked How many did you count He was unable to answer Several friends were standing by and the query was put to them Not a man could tell the num ber of his ribs One bright chap said in all seriousness that a woman has one more rib than a man because man lost one in the fashioning of woman And do you know this belief is com mon Suddenly spring the question on any acquaintance you may happen to meet in the days journeying Unless he be a medical man he will in all prob ability be unable to answer It is an anatomical fact that man has twelve pairs of ribs and woman the same number The four short ribs two on each side are the free ribs and In all probability Eve was made of one of these A man could manage to struggle through life without his free ribs and I have no doubt that ere long some corset manufacturer will require woman to have hers removed in order to lengthen her waist and to reduce its girth To break a few of the asternal ribs ten altogether is nothing to break some of the sternal fourteen in number ones is far more serious New York Press MASCULINE DIMPLES They Are Not Always Appreciated hy Their Owners Dimples are just as common among men as among women says a New York beauty doctor only they dont show off to such good advantage Beard and mustache combine to hide their charm Anyhow men are not proud of dimples They consider them a sign of effeminacy Now that smooth faces are the fashion the man with a dimple in cheek or chin Is hard put to whom and Governor Davis a political j it to hide that beauty mark In his ex- tremlty he seeks relief from me What can I do with these confound ed dimples he asks Take em out I advise Can you do It he asks Sure says I All right says he go ahead Then I begin treatment In the past year I have removed sets of dimples from mens faces that any woman of their acquaintance would have paid 100 for All men with money to spend patronize the beauty doctor more shamelessly than they used to but of all the miracles they wish performed there is none they insist upon so stout ly as the removal of dimples Ex change Watches on Board Ship Onboard all ships a series of watches are established so that work is shared equally among the sailors To aid this object also the crews are divided into two divisions starboard and port A ships day commences at noon and there are seven watches The watch which Is on duty in the forenoon one day has the afternoon next day and the men who have four hours rest one night have eight hours the next This is the reason for having dog watches which are made by dividing the hours between 4 p m and 8 p m into two Rheumatism and Tnn The discovery of a remedy for rheu matism by means of tan was acci dentally made by a tanner of Ulm Wurttemberg One day he fell into one of his own vats and as no one was near he had to remain in the tanning liquid for over half an hour When rescued he found it Is said that his rheumatism had entirely left him He then turned doctor and treated by means of a system called electrotanno therapia Jfo Quitting Marryat You dont believe in di vorce then Mugley No sir Ive got too much sportin blood Marryat What has that to do with it Mugley I believe
