How We Grow.

What are the proportions of the ideal human body?" The vexed question has never been answered exclusively
 A corollary of it is this. What are the proportions of the average healthy man or woman as we find them?" Nor even to this has a reply been given.
 However, we are approaching 1t. Sci- entists have made myriads 0f measure ments of the stature of nan, and some of them are quoted by Fleet Surgeon Williams in the annual report on the health of the navy, just issued.
 To begin with, the bo ywhen born is about half an inch taller than the girl. This difference is maintained till near the age Of 13, when, in this coun- try and America, the average girl is taller and heavier than the boy. This halting, so to speak, on the part of the male is speedily recovered, and he again outruns the female in size
 At the period of full development the mans average height. compared with the woman's average, is as 16 to 1S.
 Both men and women maintain their maximum height till the age of 50 years, when they begin to grow shorter, until at 90 they have lost three inches.
 The reason for this dwindling is at tributed to the shrinking of the soft parts between the bones and to the stoop gradually acquired by old people. London Leader.

BANK BOOK IS ELUSIVE.
One Chicago Savings Institution Counts Upon the Loss of
 Five a Day.

'Tf we don't have at least five persons very day come in here to give notice of their lost bank book, we think it unusu- al said cashier of one of the Chicago banks recently, according to the Trib- une I haven't any theories about it. but it is a fact that there are twice as many of these books lost in the summer time as there are in winter
 AS soon as a book is reported lost a check is made against it in the bank, and the loser is requested to advertise the loss. For from a fortnight to 30 days ensuing no money can be withdrawn on that account, unless the book shall be found. If not found the depositor must apply for new book Generally an af- fidavit must first be made that the loser cannot find the book; that it has not been transferred or assigned.
 All this is scarcely necessary, but it makes bank absolutely safe in respect to that deposit, and it puts the depos- itor to enough trouble to make him or her careful thereafter Everything hav- ing been performed a> outlined, the de- positor may get a new book, which means opening new account, as ac- counts are never duplicated.
 Tn my experience of many years do not recall case where finders have pre- sented books in the hopes of withdraw ing money. It would be almost impos- sible for a person not the owner of the book to withdraw cent on the ac- count. At the time of the original de- posit the depositor, before getting a book, has to answer certain questions which are framed to fix the depositor's Identity, and to protect the depositor. The depositOr must also leave an auto graph on the bank register Whenever money is withdrawn these questions must be answered and the autograph at tached to an order. This is an effectual test Each book is numbered and bears the depOsitor's name
 We have been asked if depositors would not be better protected if banks omitted the name from the book and simply numbered it. We can see no ad- vantage in that. The plan would not defeat the purposes of thief. for one "do "ouiu Sledl d DdHh DOOh WOulu know the name of the owner, and the withdrawal of deposits is so well guard ed that even with the owners name a finder could not get the money from the bank
 There are probably from 200 to 1,5o0 books lost every year. of which 400 or 800 eventually turn up. That means from one-third to two-fifths of one per cent. of the whole number of books out disappear, and one-third of that number gets back to the owners Where the rest go is puzzle not to be solved"

MANY FREAKS OF lCEBERGS
Fishermen of Newfoundland Possess Curious Faculty of Smell
 ing Them.

The fishermen of Newfoundland pos sess the curious faculty of being able as they say, to smell ieebergs, and thereby escape many encounters witd them. relates P. r McGrath, in Me Clure's. Really, however, the fact is that the approach of berg is heralded by sudden and decided cooling of the atmosphere. which these experienced mariners soon perceive. and are warned by. But oftentimes a vessel will run into nest of them. and may have to be lowed 10 safety by her boats A frequent cause of disaster is that. the submerged section of berg being caught in the grip of current the mass moves steadily against wind and sea and crashes into the craft before she can escape.
 The same circumstances cause the remarkable sight sometimes witnessed. of foes driven one way by the wind. while bergs cut a wide swath through them in another direction, impelled by the currents. The lee ot a berg is often fav2rite shelter from storm,

 There l was just wasting away. growing thinner every day ane weak CT, really being snuffed out simply be- cause l could not get any nourishment from food.
 Then my sister got after me to try Grape-Nuts food which had done much good for her. and she finally persuaded me. and although no other food had done me the least bit of good, my stomach handled the Grape Nuts from the first, and this food sup piled the nourishment l had needed.

CRlMPANZEE'S INSURANCE.
Death of Accomplished Animal at Der lin Will Cost Companies
 $1oo,ooO.

The accomplished chimpanzee, Con- sul, was so valuable to its owners that it was insured for s100, 900. and its death at Berlin from bronchitis will cost the insurance companies that amount, says the London Spectator.
 This is the largest sum at which an animal two years old has ever been val ued. and the amount was in no sense a fancy price. It cost almost nothing to keep. and its performances often brought in a clear s1 GOO in single day.
 The boxing kangaroo rose in value from about $50 to $25, GOO when he was in the heyday of his popularity
 There Is always chance of thorough breds winning great. sums In stakes. lsinglass. who closed his racing career by winning the Ascot gold cup in 1895 won Il great races out of 12 between 1892 and 1895 and the total sum credited to him was s2S5,92 In two seasons Don ovan nearly reached the figures of Isin- glass. for he won s274,675, not including some seconds.
 The record price for bull was for a Hereford, not a shorthorn, the sum be- ing S19.000 for a bull called Lord Will ton. But a shorthorn bull named New Years Gift, bred by Lord Lovat. sold for s10,000 from Queen Victoria's farm in 1892, and her late majestS,'s Royal Duke was withdrawn at v 800
 The record prices for sheep are for two Lincoln rams, each of which was purchased for s5,000 by great firms in Argentina
 The prices paid for wild animals as such. apart from any accomplishments which they may have acquired is much less now than formerly. Perhaps the cheapest purchase ever r.ade for the zoo was when M. Thibaut procured for the society its first four giraffes for S3,500. In 1867 one of these. with a young one, perished in a fire. and the Sun insurance office paid s2,725 in com pensation for their loss.
 Jumbo was sold for just s5 0OO which is exactly two-thirds of the sum offered and refused for the shorthorn bull Royal Duke.

Keeping the Snake Busy.

A prominent actor tells this story about two brother players and their experiences in a Maine temperance town: Feeling in need of alcoholic re- freshment, they made application at the local drug stores, but were told that stimulants were sold only in cases of snake-bite. The actors had about decided to content themselves with such refreshment as the town provid- ed when they heard that a certain res- ident owned rattlesnake which he kept as a pet. Securing his address. they called on him and offered to hire his snake for use in some scientific ex- periments. Nothing doing" answered the owner; he's booked solid for four months ahead.

THE LAUGHING PHILOSOPHER.
There was a great philosopher

There was a great philosopher
 Lived years and years ago: And such a merry soul was he
 They called him Laughing Joe. For laugh he would throughout the year
 Let things go wrong or right: Let Fortune smile or Fortune frown,
 His heart was ever light. And little children every day
 Would gather round his place To listen to his hearty laugh
 Or see his smiling lace. But gloomy minded people said
 They thought it was q shame A man should be disposed to laugh At good and bad the same. At last they gathered in crowd
 And pulled his dwelling down; They hustled him around the streets And drove him from the town, To find q home beyond the sea
 Upon a foreign strand And never dare to set q foot
 Upon his native land But when they chased him from the realm Those people little knew What even one good-natured soul And smiling face can do. Now children seeking after Joe
 Would round the ruins stray, And grieve because the people drove
 Their laughing friend away. And long before a year went by
 Those bad behaving men, Sent messengers across the sea
 To coax him bac. again. And out they ran with prineely gifts
 To meet him at the shore And begged him there to live and laugh
 In peace for evermore. Palmer Cox, In St Nicholas.

Oysters Can Grow Skin

New York scientists are much inter ested in the results of a series of ex. periments recently conducted by R C. Scheidt, which seem to show con clusively that the oyster, although na. turally inhabiting a shell, can grow a skin if occasion requires. Experi. menter Scheidt deprived oysters of one of their shells and then exposed them to pure light, with the result that the animals secreted pigment over the whole of their body. The chemical or blue, rays produced the same pigment but none was formed when the oyster was subjected to red rays. On putting the biyalves in darkness all pigment disappeared-N. Y. World.
