Hardy Meat Eaters.

Many races Of men live entirely on
animal food, and these are the most
hardy and from all have been able to
gather on the subject the most free
from diseases of all kinds. Sir Francis
Head says Of the Pampas Indians:
''They are all horsemen, or, rather, pass
their lives on horseback. In spite Of
the climate, which is burning hot in
summer and freezing in winter, these
brave men, who have never yet been
subdued, are entirely naked and have
not even a covering for their head.
They live together in tribes, each Of
which is governed by a cacique, but
they have no fixed place of residence.
Where the pasture is good they are to
be found until It is consumed by their
horses, and they then instantly move
to a more verdant spot. They have nei-
ther bread, fruit nor vegetables, but
they subsist entirely on the flesh of
their mares "-Gentleman's Magazine

FACTS ABOUT FOLKS.

Boys grow more regularly than girls.
The memory which acts quickest acts
best.
Urban life decreases stature from five
years Of age on.
Firstborn children exceed later born
in stature and weight.
Children born in summer are taller
than those born in winter.
Red and yellow are visible at greater
distances than green and blue.
Truant boys are inferior in weight,
height and chest girth to boys in gen
eral.
Dull children are lighter and preco-
cious children heavier than the average
child
Great men, though often absentmind-
ed, have strong memories on the lines
Of their interests.
Healthy men ought to weigh an addi-
tional five pounds for every inch in
height beyond siXty-one inches, at
which height they ought to weigh 12O
pounds.

British Captain. Organ Grinder.

A piano-organ has lately been going
it's rounds in the west end of London
bearing an inscription which explains
that the grinder is Mr.. Arthur King
ston, formerly captain in the Fourth
Royal Dublin Fusileers, lately lieuten-
ant Of the MiddleseX regiment, at
tached to the West African regiment
an officer in the British Honduras con-
stabulary. etc., and that he has taken
to organ grinding by way Of enlighten-
ing the public as to his treatment by
the military authorities. The ex-cap-
tain turns the handle and grinds out
the popular tunes of the day; boy
wheels the instrument into and out Of
action. and while the captain is grind
ing the boy distributes leaflets contain
ing a statement of the captains case
to anybody who shows a disposition to
accept one If military men with griev-
ances take to this method of airing
them, a new terror will be added.

Russell Sage's jest.

Only on high occasions does Mr..
Sage permit himself to jest. Ordi-
narily his habit is what the late Jo-
seph Cook made so much of as the
''souls laughter at ITSELF" But when
he can get in a dig at the expense Of
a great nabob of the financial world,
he does SO in the most sardonic
style.
His chance came last week with the
departure of Mr.. Morgan for Europe,
which--as readers of the real estate
news will recall-had been preceded
by the announcement that Mr.. Nor
gan had sold his troublesome Park
avenue fats" Thus spake Uncle
Russell:
80 Mr.. Morgan has gone, hey? And
he has disposed Of his interests in
those Park avenue fats? Well, l
don't know about the flats on Park av-
enue; but I'll bet you a doughnut
against a double eagle that he has not
parted with his interests in the flats
on Wall street New York Mail and
Express.

The Word GrOtesuue.

"Grotesque" is derived curiously
from the word 'grotto." Ancient Ro-
man families often had artificial grot-
toes in their grounds, and these were
decorated with quaint paintings and
whimsical figures, such as we should
term "grotesque." Commonly, these
were fanciful and homogeneous combi-
nations of parts Of plants or animals.
Conspicuous examples of the gro
tesque in classical art were the cen
taur, a horses body joined to mans
head and shoulders; the griffin, a mon
ster combining lion and an eagle,
and Scylla, sea monster, with wo-
mans head and fsh's tail, a peril, as
ancient poets sang, to mariners sailing
between Sicily and Italy. In mediae-
val times her place in grotesque art
was taken by the mermaid, more
poetical fancy.
The middle ages used the grotesque
chiefly in ecclesiastical gargoyles, the
best of which are the devils Of Notre
Dame referred to in Victor Hugo's
"Quasimodo." The idea Of the devil
as a man with horns, hoofs and tail
is probably drawn from, grotesque art.

Badness Caused by Fear.

Several carefully observed cases Of
falling hair from emotion have been
recorded, but the following is probably
one of the most curious: A normally
healthy farmer, thirty-eight years Of
age, saw his child thrown out Of cart
and trampled upon by mule. He sup
posed it killed and experienced in his
fright and tension a sensation Of chill
mess and tension in the head and
face. The child escaped with a few
bruises, but the fathers hair, beard
and eyebrows commenced to drop out
the next day, and by the end of the
week he was entirely bald. A new
growth of hair appeared in time, but
much finer.-London Answers.

THE AVERAGE BRAIN.
What 1T Weighs and the Number OF
Cells 1t Contains.


Whether it be the brain cell of a
glowworm or one trembling with the
harmonieS of Christian und' Isolde" the
stuff it is made of is much the same.
1t is difference Of structure apparent
ly rather than Of material. And the
chemical difference between a brain or
nerve cell and that Of the muscles or
the skin seems reducible mainly to a
difference in the proportion Of two sub
stances-water and phosphorus. Lean
beef, for example, is from 70 to so per
cent water; the brain is from 90 to 81
per cent water. And a brain or nerve
cell may contain from five to ten times
as much phosphorus as, let us say, the
cells of the liver or the heart The ac-
tual quantity is of course extremely
small-by weight but a fraction Of /
per cent
About three pounds avoirdupois of
this very complex phosphorized stuff
make up an average human brain.
There is a lot more Of it distributed
down ones spinal column, and little
plexuses all over the body wherever a
group of muscles are to be moved. and
others still, the sensory or feeling
nerves, which are everywhere. 1t is
hard to find a cubical half inch outside
the bones where they are not.
All told, the nervous substance, which
for the sake of making it's functions
clear I have called the matter which
thinks, forms a not inconsiderable pOr-
ton of the body outside of the bony
skeleton It is made up Of distinct and
separated units, for the most part ex-
tremely minute, though some attain a
length Of two or three feet These
units, for lack Of q more misleading
name, are called cells. The "cells"
which run from the small Of your back
down into your legs and wiggle the
same or inform you when member Of
the family is stubbed, are the longest.
Those of the brain are mostly so small
as to tax the powers of the microscope.
Their average length would be meas
ured in thousandthS of an inch. There
have been many attempts to get at
their actual number. 1t is certainly
large. Computations for the brain
alone range from 600,OO0OOO upward.
One, due, think, to Waldeyer, sets the
total number Of brain cells (ayerage)
at 100000, 100000. This would mean
a brain population exceeding the known
population of the earth.-Carl Snyder
in Harper's Magazine.

UNDERSTUDY
TO STAR A.
BY
RICHARD
KARIN
Copyright, 1909,
By T. C. Mcclure

The understudy clause in her con-
tract was it's one redeeming feature.
Without that she would never have
survived the twelve weeks Of lone
nights" The hope that some night
she would be given an opportunity to
sing the prima donna role buoyed her
up.
But mere ambition was not alone re-
sponsible for her wish to make an en-
trance with the full chorus dressed
''uD STAGE to do her honor, to sing the
''Moon Song" that was always encOred
and to get first mention in the news
paper criticisms next day. There was
something else quite as potent as am
bition. 1t was a promise that If she
remained a chorus girl for another sea-
son she would return to Bond Hill and
the man with the large acreage whom
her parents had selected.
And so, with a week stand in Denver
looming up two days ahead, the season
half over and no nearer to the leading
role than when she left the east, she
was frightfully blue, SO gloomy, In
fact, that she decided to tell Ned. He
was the leading baritone He had no
need to be gloomy, and, more than that,
he was essentially resourceful. She
called him to her side of the car.
81 haven't told you BEFORE" she be-
gan, because 1 wasn't sure, but this is
my last season"
"Wait until we begin to play the
week stands" he said hopefully.
you'll feel better then"
He noticed suddenly that the leaves
of the book in her lap were splotched
with something. He looked up at her
eyes, A rain clad smile greeted him.
"It is really true,' she said. Then
she told him.
"And the other man." he asked anx-
dously-"don't you care for him?'
~ have promised" she said -tearfully.
S'He is very nice, but l don't love him.
They didn't like me to go out this sea-
son, but you know how hopeful I was.
