He Wasn't "Dear."

"Madaml Won't you take this seat?'
inquired a little wrinkled man of a
large woman who had just entered
crowded street car on Indiana ave
nue.. He arose from his seat and tip
ped his hat in humble sort of fashion.
The woman seated herself,
"Come here, dear, and sit on my
lap" she wheezed in a thin voice.
"Why, ah-ah-I-I-" The little
man was embarrassed. His face red
dened and he bowed and stammered
The woman leaned over and repeated
what she had said. The little man
turned and retreated to the platform.
AS he turned about a dog about as
big as a medium sized rat rushed up
to the amazon and leaped into her lap
"There, that's a dear" she said, but
the man never knew.-Chicago Inter

The Tomato.

The tomato has curious history.
After the revolution of Santo Dom
lingo many French families came from
there to Philadelphia, where they in
troduced their favorite ''pomme
d'amour." Although introduced from
South America as early as 1896 into
it was looked upon with sus-
picion and its specific name, lycopersi-
cum, derived from lykos wolf and
persikon "a peach, referring to the
beautiful but deceptive appearance of
its fruit intimates pretty closely the
kind of estimation in which it was
held. 1t is now, however, almost uni
versally used.

The Russian government is consid
ering a scheme to connect Riga, on the
Baltic Sea, with Cherson, on the Black
Sea, by means of a deep draft canal
following the rivers of Dwina and
Dnieper. Although there is to be
paved tow-path on one side, the canal,
as planned, will run for more than
1000 miles in the bed of the Dnieper,
where the river is several times wider
than the full width of the canal, which
is to be 266 feet. The line of the canal
amidst the river-water will be indi-
Gated by elevated signals.
A Kansas dental instructor points
out that the teeth, the most indestruc-
tible of all animal tissues, have been
strangely neglected as a means OF
Identifying decomposed bodies. They
have many pecullarities, and dentists
could easily keep records showing the
size and width Of the arch, the size,
shape and color of the teeth; missing
or altered teeth; kind of filings and
location; gold crowns, bridges or arti-
fetal plates and other features. Such
records would be of special value to
insurance companies often saving
tedious and expensive litigation.
The visibility of eighty-five canals"
on Mars is traced by Percival Lowell
for different periods from 375 draw
ings. The canals are supposed to rep
resent vegetation, and they seem to
follow the water, which is believed to
be almost entirely locked up in the
polar showcaps in winter and to be re-
leased by the melting Of the snow and
ice at the summer solstice. The water
after its release seems to have a re.
markably steady flow toward the equa
tor of fifty-three miles per day. The
spherical form of the planet indicates
| condition of fluid equilibrium, and
this in itself is held to be strong EVIL
dence that the water channels are arti
fetal.
: OF the strange and rare animals now
inhabiting the earth the thylacines o

Tasmanian wolf, are among the mos

They have been almost exterminate,
by the Tasmanian sheep farmers
whose folds they ravage. They ar
represented in Regents Park, Lon
don, by single living specimen. TIL
thylacine looks like a cross between
wolf and a hyena, but it has tiger
like stripes on its back and hind quar-
tiers, and belongs to the marsupials
like the kangaroo. But whereas tn
kangaroo feeds on vegetables, tn
thylacine Is carnivOrous. When Euro
peans first settled in Tasmania thyls

And wonder how maidens could wear

To us old-fashioned boys twas a

No ribbons of bright-coiored hues did it

Statistics as to Criminal Assault.

In the whole United States there are
100000 negro males over five years of
age. In the past IL months, 50 negroes
committed the crime of assault. for which
30 were lynched and eight legally exc
cuted. So that the ratio of the crime is
less than one to 100000 of the eolored
males in the whole country. In Chicago.
in the same ~ months, the same crime
was committed by GO white men. or at the
ratio of one assault TO each 1900 white
males over FIVE years of age in that city.
These statistics are not quoted in praise
of the abstention of negroes, but as an in

While the Roman Catholic burial service
in the Philippines does not differ essen
tally from that in other countries, there
were certain incidentals under the old
regime which are not praceiced and would
not be tolerated by Catholics in the United
States. One was the practice Of exhum-
ing the bones of the buried after a certain
time, il the rent of the grave was not paid,
and throwing them onto q common bone
pile, where they were exposed to the gaze
Of the curious. In nearly every large town
occupied by our troops, devout Catholics
among the soldiers were shocked at these
displays. The practice was discontinued
at the Pace Cemetery, Manila, after Amer
