The Most Sensitive Part.

Nine out of ten persons, If asked
what is the most sensitive part Of the
body, will reply the tip Of the tongue.
This is q mistake. Those engaged
in polishing billiard balls or any other
substance that requires a very high
degree Of smoothness, invariably use
the cheekbone as their touchstone for
detecting any roughness. An ivory
article that may feel perfectly smooth
If r.bbed gently against the chin or
touched with the tip of the tongue
will often feel quite appreciably rough
when applied to the cheekbone. Pro-
fessional boxers, who ought to know
which Is the most sensitive part Of
the face, before fight invariably rub
well into the skin around the cheek
bone solution of alum and water for
the purpose Of hardening their most
vulnerable part.

and Is not generally hell by students
of today Ii Is due to the fact that the

and Is not generally hell by students
of to-day. 1t is due to the fact that the
oxford Bible contains the chronology
Of Archbishop Usher, who died in 1856
The archbishop calculated that the
world was completed at 10 a. M, Sept.
Z, 1904 Il. c.. and his conclusions, which
were generally accepted by the scholars
Of the day, have been perpetuated in
the chronology on the margin Of the
oxford Bible. There is nothing in the
Bible itself to fix the d; ties, and the
recent discoveries are in no way in
conflict with the testimony Of the scrip
lures themselves.
These discoveries by the University
of Pennsylvania have been the most in
teresting in archaeology which have
been made. At a cost of 100000 the
| university has made excavations where
Babylon formerly existed and has add
ed great wealth of data to our knowl-
edge Of ancient civilizations. More
than $4,000 tablets have been discover
ed which contain much information Of
value to biblical students and to AS.
syriologists.

American Horses in England.

During the past year no less than TO-
600 American horses have been sold In
London alone. A large number are
used for the omnibuses and street cars.
The cabmaster and smaller dealer pro-
fess not to touch them, the former be-
lieving, and possibly rightly, that the
majority of foreign horses are some
what soft, while, as a rule, he declares
that at his price he can get plenty of
well-brcd English horses, and that they
do his work very well. The fact is,
however, that there are almost as many
American horses drawing cabs as
American subjects riding in them. Aft.
err American and Canadian horses have
changed hands under the hammer they
are resold without anything being said
about their nationality. They get into
the country and add to the difficulties
and perplexities of the breeder.--Lon-
don Field.

Rad for the Novel.

Here Is a bit of a story, borrowed
from the American, which may prove
a comfort to writer's whose books are
badly treated by the press. Bad colds
are more or less common.
Mrs. Carlyle had abundant reason to
know that bodily condition had much
to do with the work of literary per-
son. Once, when Miss Jewsbury, writ
er, was staying with the Carlyles at
Chelsea, a caller inquired for her.
YES" was Mrs. Carlyle's answer,
Geraldine Jewsbury is here. but she
Is in her room with bad cold, and is
reviewing a novel," She paused and
then added grimly, as If thinking to her
self:
II am sorry for the novel that is re-
viewed by Geraldine when she has a
bad cold.'

Living by Their Wits.

Who says the english are not original
and enterprislng? There Is man in
London who furnishes amusement and
entertainment for all kinds of social
gatherings, having men Of family on
his staff, who in the guise of guests
manage to insure an enjoyable even
ing for the invited guests, and thus
set the anxiety Of the hostess, fear
ing a dull time for her guests, at rest.
A couple of guineas will engage the
services of person Of good social
attachments" who will so exercise his
art of entertaining others as to put
everybody at once into the brightest of
spirits. Five guineas will command
tie services of an individual of "higher
standing in the social SCALE" while the
proportionately large outlay of fifty dol
lars will secure those of man with
a handle to his name.

All money order funds are RENTED to the
ub-treasury at New York. A few years
ago the PostofRce Department drew from
the sub-treasury a lump sum Of 1880
600. which was the balance to the credit
Of money order funds In excess of the de-
mands of current business. Last year a
check for $519, pa was transferred to the
PostoHice Departments balance in the
treasury here, the excess to the
credit Of the money order fund in New
York. These two sums and the working
balance kept in New York represent what
the Government has made indirectly out
of this business. Probably its profits up
to the present date amount to $1,000, 900,
but no exact statement will ever be made.
There In a time limit of one year on the
money order Tor the postal order, as II is
now called, but there is no limit Of time

In the field Of domestic science and
dietetics, we are a long way behind
Germany. Not long ago that country
established schools for teaching girls
in factories, mills, and home service
the details Of homework and cooking.
Even private establishments in the
Kaiser's empire, in cases where the list
of women and girl employees is long,
maintain at their own expense train
ing schools for those who are serving
them. Though this is done from pure
ly selfish motive, 1t is significant as
showing the commercial value of we'll
fed and well-kept laborern, point that
should not be overlooked by social
economists.

1871. Few, il any, of these will ever be
presented for redemption. Meantime, the
interest which the sGovernment has not
paid for the use Of this money amounts
to &c. 400 at single interest alone. What
II would aggregate at compound inter
est I leave any one who is interested TO
determine.
Never will BE Presented.
Altogether, of the amount borrowed in
1867 (nearly four hundred millions). 500,
200 has never been called for, and proba-
bly, never will be called for. To be sure,
thu is only about IL of per cent. of the
ioan, which is not very big discount.
The treasury officials do not look on the
hond profit as considerable. Even the
S1,7OO, 600 now outstanding would not pay
9 Der cent. of Uncle Sans running ex-
penses for year. Ii would not keep the
Government machinery going for more
than week.
The 500, 200 outstanding on account OF
the loan of 1862 Is the largest amount tc

81, 100 balance of the funded loan OF

profits of that loan. The treasury re
eeived $96, 200 worth of bonds last year

ernment's net revenue Of $081 ,032 q

as 1 have said, there II variation In the
balance from year to year, and the Gov
eminent does not make $365,000 year
through the destruction of mShey orders.
Even IL 1t did, this sum would not keep
the postal service of the United States
running much more than a day and q half.
Ii costs nearly $4,000 an hour to carry
Uncle Sans mails. =.
Money In Stamps. tl.~
No one knows what the Government
makes In unused stamps every year, but
the profit must amount to several thou
sand dollars. ,oNot an incoh siderable
amount of this IL due to stampeollsct6rs,
and when the Columbian stamps were Is
sued the Postmaster General calculated
that the entire cost of making new designs
and engraving new plates, as well as the
additional expense of printing the larger
stamps, would be paid by collectors pur-
chases. The department was disappoint-
ed In this. but it's receipts from collect
ors in the Columbian year are estimated
at more than a million dollars.
The Postmaster General spoke freely
of this source of income in his report,
though he was disposed to say very little
about his calculations before the stamps
were issued. He was afraid some incon-
siderate people might class the United
States with those small nations and de-
Tendencies which rely on the stamp col
lector rs much as on the tax collector.
Every one of the eighteen dependencies
of France has full individual issue Of
stamps Of thirteen denominations; and
in Siberia, Tonga, the Cook Islands and
other small countries the designs Of
stamps are changed whenever additional
revenue is wanted. The philatelists pro-
test, but their protests avail nothing.
Large amounts are made every year
by the Government through the destruc-
ton of stamps and stamped envelopes
which have not been used. How few take
the trouble to remove stamp from mis-
directed envelopes? There is good margin
of profit, too, in excess payments on
postal matter; for the Postoffice Depart
ment, while it always collects on under
paid mail, never refunds when there is
too much postage'paid.
To reckon all the profits which the Gov
eminent has received unearned, it would
be necessary to go over the records of
Congress and get the list of claims which
have been pronounced just by treasury
officials, and by Senators and members
who have investigated them. But those
are not profits yet, for Congress may
develop a conscience some day and pay
them

Dangerous Work.

The underwater section Of the Black
well Tunnel, under the Thames, the
largest tunnel ever built, has just been
finished. 1t Is twenty-sevAn feet in di-
ameter and one mile in length, and
connects Poplar on the north side of
the river with Greenwich on the south.
Nearly four thousand feet of this tun-
mel had to be driven by compressed
air. The accuracy of the survey and
the danger Of the work may be mag
ined from the statement of the engi-
neers thai, while drying under the
river bed there were, at one time, but
five feet and, two inches of earth be-
tween the tunnel and the water. So
great was the danger of the water
bursting through that large quantities
of clay were dumped into the river
over the thinnest spots.

This amount the experts distributed as
$12, 1921

This amount, these experts now esti-
mate, has been increased to about SI5.-
100000. In proportion to the amount of
currency in circulation, the amount de-
stroyed is not so great now as il was in
war times, but there is much more in cir
culation now. The present estimated
proht OF the Government on paper cur
rency destroyed is half a million dollars
every year, despite the fact that the treas
ury makes every effort to redeem all the
currency il issues. A.speciai corps of ex-
perts is employed in the redemption divis-
ion to examine the mutilated currency
presented. 1t comes in, sometimes, in
pulp, in ashes, in tatters, worn and torn.
The experts work on it with microscopes,
pull il apart and piece it together. max
ing every possible effort to identify il.
If part of a torn bill is pressated for re-
demption, the owner receives for IL an
amount proportional to its percentage of
the area of the entire note. If torn, burn
ed fragments are sent in with satisfactory
evidence that they are the sole remains of
n certain sum of money, the entire amount
is refunded.
The Government even sends special
agents in some cases to investigate claims
for the redemption of money; it redeems
money which has been in birds nests
money which has been in stoves: money
which has been in goats stomachs; mon
ey which has been in babies mouths;
money which has been used as pipe
lighter; money which has been at the bot
tom Of the sea-in fact, everything which
is recognizable under the most minute
scrutiny as a Government promise to
pay" At the time her Newport palace"
was burned Mrs. Vanderbilt sent some
charred bills to the Office of the redemp-
ton bureau, and the treasury experts sue
ceeded in getting more than $1,000 out of
them. But, in spite of all it's efforts, the

men must grid on the burdensome
yoke of the corset and endure the new
agony of pinching in their waists to
the minimum figure.
The fashion has not yet progressed
sufficiently for any standard to be set
regarding the proper waist measure
ment for men. And it Is not very prob
able that such a thing will happen, for
the reason that some people attribute
the new style to the Prince Of Wales
and his growing corpulency. If the
waist measure of the prince were
taken as the correct thing most men
could face the fashion with an easy
grace, as the girth of his royal high
ness is said to be forty-two inches.
There Is little doubt that the prince
has taken up the corset habit not for
the purpose Of setting a new style,
but as matter of necessity. He Is
very vain of his appearance, and with
in the last year his rapid tendency to
increased weight has given him world
of trouble.
