The "facets' Of the eye masses of
some species of insects are exceedingly
numerous-in some cases, i'll fact the
number is entirely beyond belief Each
of these separate "facets" is a perfect
eye, and they are SO arranged as to give
their insect owner commanding view
Of all the cardinal points and every con-
ceivable intermediate direction at one
and the same time. In the ant, tho lit
tie creature which we have had so many
curious notes. concerning, there are
not to exceed so facets in the great COM
pound eye. 1t has been argued that this
is natures provision, because the ant
spends so much of it's time underground.
This may be true, but what is the nat
uralist going TO do about Blaps mucron-
alta, the most sluggish Of the European
beetles? This last named creature spends
ninety -nine-h undredths of its timo in
the dark, yet has $50 eye facets! Meloe,
another insect of similar habits, has
over 600 facets III each eye mass.
In certain varieties of the dragon flies
the aggregate of facets in the compound
eye often exceeds 600. 1t appears to
be general rule, notwithstanding the
exception cited above, that the swiftest
insects havo the greatest number of eye
facets. The swift winged butterflies
have from 10000 to 1000 in each eye
mass, and the mordella, the swiftest
and most active known beetle Ga resi-
dent Of Brittany, has no fewer than g.,
600 facets i'll each of his enormous COM
pound eyes. st. Louis Republic.

The late Ward McAllister gave this
definition of a gentleman: ga gentle
man is a person free from arrogance
and anything like self-assertion, con-
siderate of the feelings of others, and
so satisfied and secure in his own po-
sition that he is always unpretentious,
feeling he could not do an ungentle-
manly act; as courteous and kind in
his manners to his interiors as to his
equals"

PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTS.

THE longest, largest and strongest
bone in the human system is the
femur, or thigh bone.
In the middle of the ear are three
small bones, respectively named the
stirrup, the anvil and the mallet, from
fancied Resemblance to those articles.
IT is believed that ants really talk.
To test the matter, a scientist killed
one. The eye-witnesses of the murder
fastened away and laid their heads to-
gether with every ant they met, the re-
suit being that the latter Immediately
turned back and fed
THE polyp is a wonderful animal. Cut
one in two parts, and two creatures re-
suit. Cut it into six parts and six be-
ings sport around. If two be divided,
each in two parts, and the head part of
each be united at the severed ends, they
will grow together, producing a mon
ster with head at each extremity.

THE PARROT KEPT HIS HEAD.

Though Badly Shaken by an Explosion He
Didn't Forget to Mock Afterward.
Marshall P. Wilder is never chary of
his stories, says New York exchange.
Either they are inexhaustible or he
doesn't fear that they will lose their
edge by private repetition. Here is a
late one: 1.-TWO Yankee sailors strolled
into show in Guatemala, where a
prestidigitateur was entertaining the
audience. A parrot was perched on the
back of the bench where they sat-
After every surprising feat one sailor
would turn to the other with the re-
mark: That was pretty good! won
der what will come next? That was
repeated till it made the parrot tired.
Presently one of them threw down a
burning match with which he had
lighted his pipe. It fell through a
crack in the floor and into a powder
magazine. Biff! went the whole build
ing, people and all, and nothing was
left but hole in the ground and the
parrot, which was uninjured though
badly shaken up. The bird pulled
itself together, Strengthened out its
feathers, tapped it's way to heap of
ruins and croaked: That was pretty
good! I wonder what will come next?' :"

1t Is Manifested In the Most Ordinary
Conversations.
The gift of the Irish peasant for
making expressive and humorous
phrases is not by any means fiction of
literature. The use of pat" phrases is
natural to him.
A clerical traveller in Cavan not long
ago asked peasant how far it was to a
certain village and was answered:
''Two miles,"
''What! Only two miles?" said the
traveller, who had before traversed the
distance and found it long road.
''Well, your reverence" answered the
peasant, sit is two miles shtrong and
rich, so to spake!"
A somewhat similar story is told by
one of Lord Zetiand's party, who were
making inquiries into the condition of
distressed district. They were cross
ing lake; gale was blowing and
waves were dashing over the boat.
The gentleman referred to had been
assured that an Irish peasant, if treated
well, will always agree with what is
said to him rather than appear disagree
able. 1t struck the gentleman that here
was good chance to put the assertion
to the proof.
"There is very little wind, Pat" he
said to one of the boatmen.
The answer came through the howl
ing of the elements:
very little, indade, yer honor, but
fwhat there is is moighty shtrong!'

YOUTH RENEWED.
What the Magic of Modern Science Fla.
Accomplished.

What the Magic of Modern Science Fla.
Accomplished.
At a recent meeting of a medical as
ISOLATION in Philadelphia one of the
speakers drew attention to the signif-
cant facts that the average length
of life is increasing and that the period
OF activity, in which the best work is
accomplished, with both men and
women is extending. The advance. of
sanitary and hygienic science, says the
Baltimore American, has offered fair
prospect to the average man and
woman for increase of days, and mod
ern invention, by lessening the wear
and tear entailed by the discomforts of
former generations, has still further
prevented the waste of vitality and
nervous energy. Life is also length
ened in another way, by the fact that
time is minimized, and that travel and
all necessary communication now take
up marvelously short space of modern
life, leaving SO much more time to de-
vote to other objects that the practical
effect is to add more days to ones &C
count.
With this increase of life and this
extension of activity a man is far
younger to-day than his ancestors were
at a given age The magic of modern
times has literally performed that i'm
possible miracle of olden times and
legends-the renewal of youth. The
wearing drudgery of labor has been
vastly Hghtened on the one hand,
while broader interests on the other
keep the modern brain from the rust
ing process of age narrow lives and
restricted ideas formerly brought on it,
at time when that brain is now in its
prime. 49,
Yet we hear all about us complaints
that the rush and wear of modern life
is hurrying men into premature graves
at increasing rate. 1t is sadly true
that the great virtue of temperance, of
moderation in all things, has not been
assigned its due Importance in this
vast scientific development. 1t is in
spite of the advantages of the times,
not because of them, that this longer
life is not the lot of more. We appre-
ciate the stores Of vitality laid up by
them for us, but will not resist the
temptation to be Incorporate in its use
The youth and strength of the brain
and body are drawn upon too frequent
ly. We will not be content to live
within our vast means of vitality, but
draw recl1lessly upon the fund, until
nature refuses to honor our drafts, and
we find ourselves bankrupt. The bust
ness man of to-day puts into his career
of comparatively few years the energy,
the thought, the vigor, that formerly
spread over the enterprise of centu-
ries. We speculate with our vital en-
ergies, and sometime we stake all on. a
single throw. But if we do not make a
safe investment of youth and health, it
is not for lack of the opportunities of
the times.

A General Transfer of G. T. Hay
denis Interests.
Two documents which in themselves
possessed no especial significance but
which show that a change has been
forced in the ownership and manage
ment OF one of the oldest business en-
terprises in Arizona, were filed yester-
day. One was bill of sale from Chas.
T. Hayden of Tempe. to Joseph A. Ford
OF San Francisco. conveying all the
stock, fixtures and furniture of Hay

lodging house, Hayden's blacksmith
and wagon shop, Hayden's butcher
shop and of each and sundry all the
conveyor's multifarious interests IN and
about the village of Tempe.
The other document was warranty
deed transferring from Hayden to Ford
a dozen tracts OF land, town and ranch
property including all the real estate
that lately belonged to to estate of Hay

Germs in Fruit Skins.

Fruit skins carry germs, and are no
more intended for human sustenance than
potato skins, melon rinds or pea pods.
The bloom of the peach is luxuriant
growth of microbes, that of the grape
only less SO; and when these skins are
taken into the stomach they find most fa-
vorable conditions for their lively and
rapid development, which cause the de-
cay of the fruit before it is possible to
digest it. This is the reason many per-
sons think they cannot eat raw fruit. II
they would in all cases discard the skin
they could derive only good from the
fruit itself. Nature provides the skin 70,
the protection Of the fruit from the mul.
titude of germs which are ever ready to
attack it, as is evidenced when the skin

microbes at once begin their work Of de.
cay, and the fruit is unit for food. Chill
dren are chief offenders in respect to this
rule, and should be carefully watched
and frequently cautioned. A daintiness
- to the condition of fruit should also
be cultivated, to prevent its being eaten
unripe, or too old, on the verge of decay.

Rare and Costly Foxskina

Most of you have read quotations OF
silver fox skins and black fox skins, but
did you ever see one7 The chances are
that if YOU are not in the fur business
you never did. Only 139 were taken in
the whole world last season, and every
season all of these 60 to Russia, where
they are the fur of the royalty and nobil-
ity. The other day, trudging mp the
Journal stairs, came Hunnewell, the
South Danville fur king. He is a real
Yankee at trade, hustling buyer who
has agents in the Nova Scotias and in
Cape Breton and all along the rich fur
bearing countries, and his transactions
amount to $4,000 year and upward.
Under his arm Hunnewell bore pack

Of the reporters room and disturbed the
quiet of the "desks" at work. "There,"
said be, sis something you never saw be-
foresight silver fox skins in one bunch"
There they were-four of them beauties,
four of them ordinary. The four first
named were beautiful skins, pure deep
black along the bases of the necks, silver
tipped along the backs, while the tails
were just shimmered with the silver
white. The fur was soft and fine, beau
tiful to the touch. "That skin, said Mr..
Hunnewell, tossing out one, sis worth
$135. This one is worth $3.50. If that
one were as black as this and was as
heavy and soft as it is now, it would be
worth $500 easily. Considering that
only 18o were taken last year, and that
