A Physiological Fancy.

1t is surprising how many people believe
that the entire body of q man is renewed
every seven years exactly. This used 30 be
taught in books, and although not ortho-
dox now is still accepted as gospel by
many.
To show its inaccuracy one has only-to
hit nail on his finger hard enough, for in
that case the injured object will come off
and be replaced by an entirely new nail.
If this process occupied seven years sucn
an accident would be very tiresome af-
fair, but as any mechanic will tell you, IL
only occupies "A few weeks. The growth is
more rapid ip summer than winter, but
never taking more than four months.
So far as the nails are concerned, then
the renewal process is repeated about 21
times during the regulation seven years,
and the theory is thus destroyed, even if no
other proofs of it's falsity We're forthcoming.

LONDON. Jan. 15.-A heavy storm ia
sweeping over England. Snow. nleet and
high winds prevail along the coast. Many
small accidents to shipping are reported.
The ateamer Brighton, sailing between
New Haven and Dieppe. had terrible
rough passage to-day. The dock house and

pilot couldn't zee beyond the bow. None
of the eighty passengers were allowed on
deck. Without any warning the steamship
crashed into tho pier, knockinga large hole
i'll her bow. She began filing rapidly. A
long ganRway was improvised and the pas
sen9ers hurried ashore. There Was little
panic. Half tho baggage was taken off
when the captain ordered the men to leave
the ship. He had hardly followed the last
man to the pier when the vessel went down.

TOPEKA, Kan. Jan. 15.-Many warning
statesmen are spending Sunday with their
families and the city is enjoying the first
quiet it has experienced for nearly two
weeks. The armistice declared yesterday
afternoon furnished greatly needed
breathing spell, and the situation is being
reviewed calmly and apart from the excit-
ing events that have been tnnspirlng
hourly for the past week, Much talk is in
dulRed III looking to an amicable consoli-
dasion of the two organizations. 1t is said
that many popullst members believe that
the republican house is the legal one, but
the fact that there is a populist majority in
the senate and that the populist
governor has recognized the minor
ity house leaves them powerless
to recede from the action taken. The re-
publicans say they will consider no arbi-
tration proposition which does not recog-
nize their organization as legal and requl lar.
This being the spirit manifested on both
Sides there is no immediate prospect of a
change in tho relative positions. The
house conditions will remain unchanged
until one side or the other attempts to
assume the aggressive, and by force asserts
its authority. Neither as yet show dis
position to do this.
