Of the thousand and one ailments that atfiict
their sex elsewhere. The young are vigorous
and bear an almost unlimited number OF chill

physical superiority does not seem traceabe to
any one cause. Perhaps 1t Is the Survival OF

would seem to us a most reckless manner. l

biting cold weather, wrapped In a small cotton

to be from ten TO twelve. large percentage
Of these never reach maturity, and 1t is allow

power OF endurance survive.
on the other hand, corsetS are but little

WHY THE PYRAMID WAS BuILT-It was built
Of Siding down Fiji in Country Sn where snoW
never falls. The Egyptian who paid the re-
quisite entrance fee was allowed to ascend the
pyramid by the staircase, and then to slide
down the polished granite side, plunging pleas
antly and harmlessly into the sand at the foot
No sleds or other apparatus were needed The
Egyptian simply sat down on the warm and
comfortable granite, and slid down without any
unpleasant friction. Doubtless, this was fash
ioDable amusement for both sexes and all ages
