MAN is NoT MONARCH.
dis Senses Are Less Acute Than Arc
Those of Animals.


Mans Wanted faculties are far less
acute than some Of the lesser crea-
lures.
The human eye is wonderful piece
of mechanism, with its little bundle or
nerves that in some mysterious way
make Installation possible. Yet this
eve. with all its delicacy Of discern
ment is but circumscribed organ as
compared with the eye Of the eagle
which sees infinitely farther than can
any human eye. The same is true or
the human ear. The rats and the nice
that haunt our houses, the squirrels
that caper about the woods and the
humberless other little animals all
hear better than we do. They may not
trace refinement in sound as accurate
ly as can man, but for catching souhd
at long range theirs are the ears most
perfectly constructed.
The sense of touch is more accurate
ly developed elsewhere In the amman
kingdom than In man. No man made
device for measuring water pressure

strung with nerves register the water
pressure correctly every time ana IN

can stand and when to move up or
down.
A dogs sense of smell is always re-
spected by man. who frequently, as IN
the case of a hunter. relies on 1t to sup

active olfactory nerve.

there are birds with whose music

JOe's Revelation.

Not long ago nice young man was
invited to dine at the home of an east
end young woman and accepted the
invitation with pleasure. 1t was just
a family dinner, and everything was
passing off well when an unpleasant
and quite unforeseen incident occur
red.
They were all discussing the pie.
when the young wOman's little broth.

birds Are Like Human Beings.

Canaries, like human beings, vary
very much in character, some cocks be-
ing so Indifferent and idle that they
will let the hen do all the work OF
building and rearing, while they them
selves sit and plume their feathers.
Others, again, are perfect gentlemen In
their manners, waiting on the hen with
a quiet courtesy and seeing that all she
requires is at once brought to her.
Again, the hens vary in disposition.
some hens behaving in quiet, modest
way, attending to their young ones
with regularity, while others are In
constant state of chatter with their
husbands, pecking and arguing with
them every time they go near. Thus
we see that these little birds have their
tiffs and domestic quarrels, not unlike

BarrOws. was ingenious IN detain ng

Of all his hearers he remarked that
he was done preaching to sinners ana
that they were ut liberty to go. The
rest Of his discourse would be address

A gentleman who once went to hear
him stated that when the hourglass

his sermon he said. much to the relief
of the person who related it, Once

Origin of Word Gringo.

The word "gringo," which Mexicans
apply to Americans when speaking Of
them with contempt, IS said to have
had its origin thus: During the Mexi-
can war our soldiers got into the hab-
it Of calling the simple Mexican sol
dlers whom they took prisoners green
les" to signify their ignorance Of
things In general and Of military tao
tics especially. The Mexicans retaliat-
ed by calling the Americans "greenos,"
and this word finally degenerated into
"gringOs."

4 Test OF Friendship.

A gentleman has tried the following
peculiar way of probing the ties Of
friendship. He sent letters to twcntT
intimate friends asking for loan Of n
pound. Thirteen of the two dozen
friends did not reply at all, five de-
clined to lend the money, two promised
to send it on the next day and did not
do it. one sent his ''last 10 shil!ings," y
and only three sent the full sum asked
for. The supplicant and all the
friends" he had written to are well
off.-St. Petersburg NOvoc Vremya.

Careful estimates of the force Of
cyclone and the energy required to
keep a full hedged hurricane in active
operation reveal the presence Of pow
er that makes the mightiest efforts Of
men appear as nothing in comparison.
A force fully equal to over 4OO.OOO'OOO
horsepower was estimated as develop

about fifteen times the power that can

the range of mans capabilities during

December. so called from being the
tenth month when the year began in
March, has probably had more names
conferred upon it than any other of the
twelve into which our year is now di-
vided. Among the early SaXons it was
called Winter MOnGt. or winter month.
After their conversion to Christianity
they called 1t Heligh Monat or holy
month, in honor Of the birth Of Christ.
In later days in Germany it was called
Christ Nlonat for the Same reason.

"What is in a name?" has been
question sufficiently unanswered to still
remain a subject for discussion, but
what Is in two names should have
double interest. If you don't think so,
take two names as well known as any

They are the names Of Lincoln and
Hamlin. OF course there is nothing
peculiar about them as they stand, but
set them differently and observe the
result. For an instance. place them
