II has been discovered that the hu.
man mouth is slowly but surely and
steadily moving toward the left Of the
face. which will I'm time bring it some
where in the noighborhood of the left
ear. All the five great races of man
have an uncomfortable tendency TO eat
only with the teeth which grow from
the left jaws. This wears out the left
teeth more rapidly than those on the
right side Of the mouth. and this in
turn gives the upper and lower jaws
an inclination toward the left.
1t is the expressed opinion of many
scientists who are foremost in the
worlds roll of professional honor that
in the course Of time the mouth from
causes above mentioned will have com
pletely changed its position and that it
will then be situated rather nearer the
left ear than to the nose.

The Life OF Circus People.

Circus people are pretty clannish.
FROM generation TO generation they

do not perish from off the face of the
earth nearly so fast as the insurance

never see sixty again and some that
are seventy-tive years old and still as
supple as you could wish for man
fifty years younger. More than in any

EXERCISE AND EATING.
Remember That II Tired stomach Is
weak stomach

A good dinner at night is necessary
for those whose pleasure or work keeps
them up very late. But for ordinary
folk who dine at or and go 10 bed
about 1890 only light wholesome re.
past should be taken at the end II the
day, when muscles and nerves are
more or less exhausted.
A tired stomach is a weak stomach"
Is golden rule TO remember. Yet how
often one hears people say, 1--WE been
rushing about all day and am tired TO
death; | must have a big meal TO make
up for it!' You may put the big meal
into the stomach, but you cannot make
the stomach digest IL.
A belief lives strong in the hearts and
minds of the majority Of mankind, I'm.
cluding persons Of weak digestions
that a quick, brisk walk taken before
a meal gets up an appetite and helps
the stomach TO digest the food. Now
this is exactly what Il doesn't do. Ex.
ercise spreads the blood throughout the
body. For the proper digestion OF food
the blood is needed in the stomach
Few realize this important fact.
After long, eXhausting walk, bicy-
Gle spin or any severe physical or men.
tai strain take n good half hours rest
in comfortable armchair or lying on n
sofa before yur cat substantial meal.

The total Of the suns heat is equal
TO that which would be required TO
keep up $4,000 millions Of millions
of millions Of horsepower. or about rs
600 horsepower for every square yard
and yet the modern dynamical theory
OF heat shows that the suns mass
must fall in or contract thirty-fve
meters per annum to keep up that tre-
mendous energy.
At this rate of contraction the solar
radius will be .O1 per cent less in 1000
years from now than II is today. Ac.
cording 70 these deductions, a time
must come when the temperature must
fall. This being the case. it is incon.
ceivable that the sun will continue TO
emit heat sufficient to sustain animal
life for more than 100000 years
longer.

Beauty of American Buildings.

IF the people of England knew how
beautiful the public buildings in the
United States are and how superior
American hotels are the amount OF
travel to this country would be many
times as great as it is at present,
said a Londoner to an interviewer in
Washington the other day. Il am on
a tour of the world. When | landed
in New York | did not expect to find
much of interest to me. That city was
a series of surprises. Its modern
buildings. with perfect elevator SER
vice and every convenience, made a
great impression on me. | did not eX-
pect to find any buildings in this coun-
try which would compare with those
of the old world in architecture, but
a ride through the streets OF Wash
inston was enough to convince me
that my ideas of America were err
roneous. The capitol, congressional Ii
prary and other government buildings
are as beautiful as any buildings IN
the world, and their interiors surprise
all europeans. 1t takes the Yankee tc
equip building with every possible

Do the Dyina Never Weep?

hundreds of dying people, said an
old physician at Topeka recently, and
/ have yet to see a dying person shed
8 tear No matter what the grief OF
the bystanders may be, the stricken
person will show no signs OF over
towering emotion. l have seen cir
Gle of agonized children around a dy-
ing mother-a mother who in health
would have been touched to the quick
by signs of grief in a child-yet she
reposed as calm and Unconditional as
though she had been made of stone.
There is some strange and inexplica-
BILE Psychological change which &C.
companies the act of dissolution. 1t
is we'll known to all physicians that
pain disappears as the end ap'
proaches. And nature seems to have
arranged it so that mental peace shall
also attend our last lingering mo-

Ostrich Eqqs as Food.

Ostrich eggs are only twelfth the
cost of hen eggs, that is, so far as
South Africa is concerned. Hen eggs
cost IS cents a dozen, but ostrich eggs
each of which is equivalent to 20 or
"a hen eggs, cost 10 cents. When re-
ouired for use the housewife makes
small hole in the top Of the egg. The
quantity required is shaken out. and
the shell containing the remainder IS
corked up. as though it were bottle,
So treated, the contents of the egg
keep quite long time when care is
taken to place the corked shell in
cool place.
The authorities have strictly prohib-
tied the expectation of ostrich eggs,
but the birds have been acclimatised
to South Africa. An American has
also founded an ostrich colony in the
south of France, at Nice. TIE results
are that South Africa has dangerous
rivals in the field, and that ostrich
eggs may soon figure on our breakfast
tables.
