The Kind of Ear That 1. Rare.

The Kind of Ear That Ia Rare.
The ear that Darwin illustrates in his
descent Of Man" as being allied to
the pointed type belonging to our SIM
ian relatives is not as uncommon as
many ma imagine. 1t is my observa-
ton that this popularity of the fold
in question Is oftener to be observed
in women, and In many of these cases
the persistence of the wisdom teeth
is also a characteristic l have in
mind two cases OF this sort, one of n
man, the other Of a woman, both resi-
dents Of one Of our leading cities and
among their social and intellectual
forces.
The latter is q remarkable rcversion
to an earlier type in ear, In teeth. in
length of arm. in painless childbirth,
in nexibility OF hand joints and in
other marked characteristics. 1t ap-
pears to me that the ear, like the YER

adapted to the newer human conditions

HANGMAN'S PAY.
tn Way an Oriental Execut!oneI
Helps to FIJI His Purse.


In the east n hangman's trade is very
profitable. As soon as a person is
condemned to be hanged notice is sent
to the executioner, vino has the privt-
lege of erecting the scaffold wherever
he pleases. and at sunrise the next
morning he begins his work. Accom-
panied by his assistants, who guard
the condemned man II carry material
for the scaffold. he GO g to some promi-
nent place in front OF a large dwelling
and there proceeds to erect the scafrold.
A few minutes later the owner of the
large dwelling PUSHES out and implores
him to go somewhere else.
ST don't want to have a man hanged
in front of my house." he explains,
All right" says the hangman. I'm
willing to go elsewhere provided you
pay me for my trouble in coming here
and for the time which l have spent
at the job"
Though the sum which he names Is
pretty large. the owner of the large
dwelling pays 1t without a word
~whereupon the hangman goes to an
other large dwelling, where a similar
scene is enacted.
In this way several hours are spent
by the executioner in extorting money
from all the magnates. in the n~eighbOr-
hood. When his purse is at last well
filled he erects the scaffold in some
dark wood, and soon the unfortunate
man, who has beer tramping after him
all day. Is at rest-New York Herald.

Throwing the Slipper at a Wedding

The throwing of the slipper after the
bride comes apparently from barbarOus
times, when the relations Of man and
wife were really very much akin to
those Of master and slave. for it seems
that the shoe was an emblem of author
ity. and at an .AnglO-SaXon marriage a
shoe was given by h brides father to
her husband in token of transference
of power over her. the groom usually
indicating his appreciation Of that fact
by tapping his new wife lightly on the
head with it.
