How many bones In the human head9
Eight, my child, as I've often said.
How many. bones in the human carr
Four in each, and they help to hear.
How many bones in the human spine?
Twenty-four like a climbing vine.
How many bones in the human chest?
Twenty four ribs and two of the rest.
How many bones in the shoulders bind?
Two in each-one before, one behind.
How many bones in the human arm2
In each arm one; two in each forearm.
How many bones in the human wrist2
Eight in each if none are missed.
How many bones In the palm OF the hand
Five in each with many band.
How many bones in the fingers temp
Twenty-eight, and by joints they bend.
How many bones In the human hip2
One in each; like dish they dip.
How many bones in the human thigh2
One in each, and deep they lie.
How many bones In the human kneer
One in each, the kneepan please.

And then we have, in the human mouth,
Of upper and under thirty-two teeth.
And now and then have a bone, should

Largest Bicycle in the World.

Beautiful Daisy Bells bicycle built
for two isn't circumstance to the bi.
cycle built for two thousand to be
seen at the Paris Exposition. This
latter is to be the very behemoth OF
bicycles. tho largest wheel wei built.
1t could be ridden only by n giant
more than twice as tall as the Colossus
of Rhodes. But the monster machine
will never be moved from its place on
the Exposition grounds. 1t is, in fact,
q carefully constructed ediice of the
best Bessemer steel, and what the Eiffel
Tower was to the last Paris Exposition
the big bicycle is to this.
This monster wheel is taller than
any of the tall buildings surrounding
it. Its SADDLE would just overtop
Weather Prophet Dunn's observation
tower on the roof of Gotham's tallest
office building. All the other dimen.
sions are m proportion. Bat the big,
bfcr1 lis q very oompigte buiidi IN
itself, It has two large entrances,
one at the bottom of each OF its wheels,
cut right through the tires. Winding
stairways lead from the doors up tb
front and back Of each whe,s
through the forward and rear stand
ards to the backbone of the ma.
chine. Thence spiral steps ascend to
the handle bar and saddle.
The backbone of the big bicycle
contains a grand salon scarcely as
many spans in width as it is yards In
length. 1t is intended principally for
use as a banquet hall. One long table
runs down the centre through its en-.
tire length, at which six hundred per.
sons may be seated comfortably

II with love will give you mine,
Let me be your valentine"

What if his little daughter aid love
him? What if she, alone among stran.
gers, were lonely too? Humph! What
m old fool he was. What could he do
about it? He had married q woman
who was above his station and below
his wealth, and would have to endure
his mistake. Still that little valentine
with its Cupids and lace paper and silly
little rhyme, iammed into a corner Of
his desk, would force itself upon his
mind. And n sweet faced little girl
would look wistfully at him. Was she
lonely too and heart sick? How he
did long for the pure child love that
his only daughter should be giving
him! how he would lavish all his
love on her.! Then he thought Of his
Scotch burr, the rolling RS that he
could not soften, and he laughed. His
laugh was not good to hear. The
heavy grizzled eyebrows were knotted
into a fierce frown. and his shaved
upper lip became harder, and squarer,
md sterner over his whiskered chin.
Still the little rhyme and the wistful
face would come back to him.
After making himself thoroughly
disagreeable to everybody he returned
abruptly to his desk. He made a feint
at occupying himself with his papers

CLEARING OLD FENCE CORNERS.


Wherever an old fence has stood
the land is pretty sur to grow into u
hedge of bushes and trees that unless
gotten rid of make the fence an offence.
Very often the cost of getting rid OF
these encumbrances prevents farmers
from dispensing with the fence alto.
gether. Where there are many trees
in the fence their stumps, after the
trees are disposed of, will prevent
blowing the land for years. But
where the fence row is only filed with
bushes, digging them out without
cutting them down is the best method.
With a team Of horses to pull on the
top when the root is dug around and
partly loosened, it is not a long Job to
snake out a large patch of bushes.
The land where these are grown is
generally rich, as the fence has held
the leaves from adjoining fields from
blowing any farther, and it is their de.
composition that has favored the
growth Of bushes. The retaining of
such fertile land helps to grow crops
to be made into manure and thus en-.
rich the cultivated fields. By making
the fields larger and dispensing with
the fences, the cost of cultivation is
greatly reduced. This is an important
m~atterin these days of improved farm
implements, most of which do their
best work when they have plenty Of
room. American C%ultivator.
