Big Animals of Long Ago.

Most Of the gigantic animals Of geo.
logical eras belonged to species which
have completely vanished, and of those
which have living representatives it is
difficult to say whether they have un-
dergone a true change Of size or
whether the modern examples are
merely survivals of smaller contempo-
rary varieties. The larger animals
have tendency to disappear first In a
partial failure Of food supply. Gigantic
armadillos closely resembling those
Of the present day were formerly
abundant in South America. The re-
mains Of huge sloths are found in Gu
ba and North America. Sharks attain

found in comparatively recent fossil
deposits. Another fish which repre-
sents larger prehistoric species is the

tiny nautilus of the present day had

is found in fossil remains to have

Inheritance of Health.

There is, it is true, as great an in
equality in the Inheritance of health as
in the h.irship of wealth or brains.
Some are born with a fortune of vigor
and soundness SO large that not life
time of eager squandering will leave
them poor and others enter the world
paupers of need so dire that no charity
from medicine can ever raise them to
comfort, but most of us have just that
mediocre legacy Of vitality which rem
ders us undistinguishable units in the
mass. 1t lies in the hands of each to
improve or waste that property, as he
chooses, for there Re self made men
physically rs we'll as financially; those
who, because Of ancestral wasteful-
ness, have only sixpence Of health
and turn it into fortune, and there
are spendthrifts Of health who come
to as sorrowful case as spendthrifts Of
gold. The body is the realm where a
wise and frugal ruler brings happi-
ness as surely as a foolish one insures
distress, and wisdom here. as else
where, lies in learning and oteying

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT..
Find Out Which One of Your Feet
Walks the Fnster

Find Out which One of Your Feet
Walks the Fnster.
You may think this is a very silly
question to ask, but is it? There is
no catch about it. It is simple, de-
monstrable fact which you can prove
to your own satisfaction in very few
minutes
If you will take any pavement that
Is clear of other pedestrians, so that
there shall be no interference, and
walk briskly in the center, you will
find that before you have gone 100
yards you will have veered very much
to one side. You must not make any
conscious effort, of course. to keep in
the center, or you may do it, but If
you will think Of something and en-
deavor to walk naturally it is 100 to l
you cannot keep direct line.
The explanation of this lies in the
pecaslarity Of one foot to walk faster
than the other. Or, to be. more cor
rect, perhaps it should be said that
one leg takes longer stride than the
other, and this, combined with the
more to one side than the other.
It is well known, for instance, that
If one be lost in the woods the tend
ency Is to walk in a circle and even
tuaIy to return about to the starting
point. This demonstrates the fact also
that one foot walks faster than the
other.
You can try an interesting expert
ment in this way if you will place
two stakes in the lawn about eight
feet apart and then stand off about
60 feet from them, allow yourself to
be blindfolded and endeavor to walk
between them. You will find it an al
most impossible task, because one foot
will go a bit faster than the other,
either to the right or left. Now,
which one Of your feet walks faster
than the other?-kansas City Times.

ONE BRAVE MAN..
And the Reason He Stood Firm While
Under Fire.

And the Reason He Stood Firm While
Under Fire.
A battalion of volunteer infantry
was drilling in field when a regiment
of regular cavalry rode by. The colo
mel Of the cavalry halted his men to
watch the volunteers, and, getting
into conversation with the colonel Of
the latter, he criticised their drill un-
favorably, especially their want of
steadiness. The volunteer colonel was
fierce fellow, and he cried hotly, my
men are as steady as any regiment Of
regulars"
II do not think so," retorted the cav
alryman, "and if you'll draw your men
in order to receive cavalry I'll prove
it."
The challenge was accepted, and the
cavalrymen charged down upon the
citizen soldiers, who awaited them in
the usual way. Now, regular cavalry
can charge to within q few feet or
even inches of infantry at full gallop
and then at the word of command pull
up short. The volunteers. however,
lost their nerve when they saw the
huge horses laundering down upon
them and showing no sign of stopping
when 4 few yards off. They fed, all
but one man, who remained on his
knee, with bayonet leveled.
His colonel, enraged at the others
flight, approached the hero and, tap
ping him on the back, cried: "You are
the only brave man in the regiment.
You scorned to run"
