1t may be before long that our pins
will have to be dipped in carbo!ic acid
before being put On our bureaus. For
pins have been proved to be a prolific
source of danger in spreading conta-
gious diseases. All kinds of germs. it is
said, can be collected under the heads,
and nurses who indulge the feminine
habit Of holding pins i'll their mouths
lay themselves open TO serious attack.
The doctors who have warned the pub.
lie say that many of the so called new
pins are not new Mt all. but have been
picked up in the streets and laid side by
side with the others. The idea is not an
altogether pleasant one, and is, more.
over, one likely to increase the uneasi.
ness of the overfastidious.
There are some woIncn now who are
SO afraid of germs that they wash all
their gold and silver pieces before han.
ding them and who never allow a bank
bill to go into their purses until it has
been wrapped in some kind of disinfect
ing PAPER. They even require the shop
girls who hand them their change to
wrap III paper first. What is to be done,
if all this is SO, with the popular super
stitions about picking up all the pins
that one sees and never passing a penny
in the street?-Harper's Bazaar.

That Mysterious and Useless Organ o.
Man, the vermiform Appendix.
A distinguished paleontologist claim )
to have discovered facts serving to show
that the vermiform appendix, that mys-
teriously useless organ that has annoyed
the human family so much of late
years, is no moro nor less than tho rudi-
mentary remnant of the g!ZZard with
which he believes the monstrous pro-
genitors of man of the tertiary period
of the carth's existence We're supplied.
Some of these gigantic creatures, lizards
in form, birds in kind, animals in IL
functions, are believed to have dcvcl.
| oped by the gradual stages described by
the supporters of the theory of evolu-
ton into the scmblanCc of a human be-
ing.
If the bird form be the original Of the
human race, it is reasonable to believe
that it may have been supplied with a
| gizzard, which in the bird of modern
time possesses n definite and important
function in the digestion of the food.
The bird having no teeth the food is in
many cases swallowed whole. Some
birds can crush the food with their
beaks, but normally the digestion is
permitted largely through the agency of
the gizzard, where the food is ground
into fine particles. The interior coating
of this organ is rough aud muscular
Many birds swallow, as far us the giz
card, small pebbles that aid the process
of attrition. Thus if the latest theory
be correct a curious paradox is present
ed. Whereas in the beginning, as now,
the gizzard performed its functions
most satisfactorily when supplied with
indigestible substances, its rudiment
that now remains in the human struc-
ture becomes a center of dangerous con-
ditions as soon as any foreign substance,
and especially any hard matter, is de-
posted i'll it.
One of the marvcls of anatomy fN
some years has been this strange sac III
the upper intestines, apparently with
out the least function in the digestive
system and capable of being removed
without affecting the health of the pa
tient save to u favorable degree. Re-
searches have revealed many traces of
such rudiments III the human system.
Darwin's studies brought to light many
resemblances between man and tho
lower orders. 1t may now be that the

a superb sausage, red as q tomato, and
with an odor to have made a saints

Oremus had not lifted his eyes from
the sausage since its appearance on tho

the poor bowwow licked his chops and
wagged his tail, which distinctly said
in dog language:
"Oh, what an elegant sausage! How
l should like somer'
"Watch my dog, you mocker, said

sausage with his eyes. Well, when l
say, 1T is Friday, Oremus, he will not

Sure of his success, the priest put the
sausage under the dogs nose. Not a
