Maybe you don't" the pale mathe-

ference. In arabic figures 1t has taken
juSt four figures to write the number
Of the year ever since the year 1000,
and It will take no more till the year
5000. But in Roman numerals the
year 1000 was written with single
letter M We shall never get back to
one letter again. Now for this year it
takes nine letters, 'MDCCCXIX.' And
think of 1885, which we can easily re-
member. Then 1t took thirteen letters,
'AiDCCCLXXXVIII.' That was the
hardest year to write Of the whole
Christian era thus far.
But next year. 1900, II will drop
right down TO three hsures. 'MCM.'
And how long do you think 1t will be
before another year comes as hard to
write as 1882"

Facts Known About the Rody

The idea that the body Changes"
every seven years, or at any other per-
Tod, Is popular de1uslon. 1t Is only
necessary to read any text book OF
physiology to find that life is really a
constant series of changes, which pro-
coed every minute one lives. Changes
OF chemical and physical kind are al
ways going on within the body, and the
very fact that one requires food daily
Is a proof OF this. Another curious
thing Is the effect Of heat on the body.
II you were put in an oven and heated
to 1872 degrees Fahrenheit, all that por-
ton Of your blood called fbrinogen
would clot. When you reached 145 de-
grees. many other elements OF your
body would grow as solid az hard-boil.

A brief chemise and a light calico

On her head she wears soft toche, or

defiance to the sharpest tiirts. Her
food Is simple-5 sous day for bread

few sous for some cheap liquor to mix

might be expected to bring her daily
expenses up to a franc; nevertheless,
such is her ability to economic that
