Grip, for short,

And silk, or satin, or broadcloth
Has no more influence with me

Who runs around bare-headed
Or thin shod;
And the way swipe a man
Without an overcoat
Is perfectly astonishingl
The air is full of me;
And as a microbe incubator

OF successful contradiction,
That ! am beyond competitionl
I've got corner on the
Human system at present,
And Pm working it
For all it's worth!

Are having a picnic,
With the doctors
Getting all the gate money!
However, Pm not in it

And there's no telling
How many have found out
In the past few weeks.
It's a cold day
When ! get left,
And we are not having
Many cold days this winter,
Hence
But why multiply words?
You know me,
And if you don't you can learn
All you want to know

Which, and in which,

Mighty few of them
Don't recognize me socially,
And curse me
For all the crimesin the calendar

Uneat Gems strung Together In symbolls

The handiwork Of the jewellers Of
Pompeii was celebrated for its artistic
finish aud elaborate design. This Is
shown by the many specimens rccov-
cred from the ruins of the ancient city,
and the fact that at this day some Of
the most effective copbinations and ar

similar designs
No finger rings are worn. - such
jewels were limited by custom to ma
irons and to maidens who were be-

The necklace and earrings are formed
entirely of uncut gems, thickly strung
together with due regard to symmetry
and color. The headpiece Is formed of
q thin band of gold spsrinRly orna-

Philadelphia physician. One of the
deadliest poisons known to science
gathers in its bowl and stem, and it is
no exaggeration of fact to say that any

There are two well-authenticated
cases Of suicide. one Of murder and
many Of accidental death from nicotina
A habitual smoker unwittingly swal-

He fell down unconscious almost on the

crxetic medical aid would have died.

Fat people are less able 10 resist the
attacks Of disease or the shocks Of in
juries and operations than the moder-
ately thin. In ordinary everyday life
they are at . disadvantage; their re-
spiratory muscles can not 50 easily act;
their heart is often handicapped by the
deposit ON it, and the least exertion
throws them into . perspiration. This
last fact is curiously misunderstood; 1t
is almost universally looked upon as an
actual melting" Of the subcutaneous
fat, and is considered to be natures
method Of getting rid of the superhuity.
But this is not correct, for in spite Of
its greasy appearance, sweat only con-
tains trace of fatty matter. rarely
more than one-hundredth per cent. and
this comes, of course. from the cells Of
the sudoriparous glands and primarily
from certain constituents of the blood.
