The Sensitive Cheek-Bone.

"What is the most sensitive part of
our anatomy" asked an ivory carver.
'"The tip Of the tongue" said one.
''The finger tips" said another
Wrong; both wrong. It is the small
patch of skin over the cheek bone that
is our most sensitive part" said the
ivory carver, "and in smoothing ivory
we always test our work on that patch
Of skin"
He took up large ball on which
he had been working.
"Here," he said. "'Try this. Is it
smooth?"
The two visitors tossed the ball in
the air and declared it to be smoother
than satin or cream.
"Now," said the carver, "test it with
your finger tips and your tongue"
These tests were made, and the YER
dict was given, "still smooth"
''Now test it with your cheek bone"
The visitors in turn rubbed the ivory
ball delicately over their cheek bones,
and uttered EXPLANATIONS Of amaze
ment.

Floating Targets of the Sea.

Even the French and British war
ships that patrol the Newfoundland
coast during the fishery season do not
escape this danger, crowded with men
and carefully navigated though they
are, says McClure's. The ice masses
serve a novel purpose for the fleets al!
the summer through, being used as
targets for big gun practice. When a
specially formidable one drifts along
past ST. johns, cruiser slips her
moorings anG runs to sea after it. pelt-
ing it with projectiles until she fires
away her allowance. 1t is one of the
sights of ST. Johns, the endless process
sion of icebergs Of every size and
shape that drifts by day after day,
charming the eye and cooling the sum-
mer atmosphere. Sometimes they

vent ships entering or leaving.

Was Too Old for That.

A young lawyer whose love Of flow
ers and all things green and growing
compelled him to establish his home In
one Of the suburban towns Of New
York invited his old chum, Brown, also
Of the bar, to spend Sunday on the
farm, says the New York Sun.
Brown was received with all appro-
pirate honor, and all the attractions
were duly displayed to his polite but
not overkeen gaze, for he was some
what deficient in that primal passion
for garden which has come down
through the generations from Adam.
At each meal he listened courteous
ly to eulogies Of our own make" Vi
ands. He bore patiently "our own
milk, lettuce from that frame you saw,
peas off the vine in the back lot" and
so on. But at last it got to this:
Harry, can recommend this chick

Then the worm turned, after the
first mouthful of chicken,-and with a
SAD smile remarked:
"No, Will, l can't believe that.

years"

He remembered thu first time he

GIVES COWS FOR DIAMONDS.

Pioneer PrOspector in South Africa
Tells of His Experiences.
J. B. Robinson has been recounting
b an interviewer his early expert
ences in 1879 while In search Of South
African diamonds. Having given eight
oxen and wagon loaded with sugar
and tobacco to Griqua In exchange
for 23-carat gem, the news spread
like wild fire through the country side
that white man was giving away
wagons and oxen for bits of stone.

sent the man into the herd to take his
pick and he marked ten Of the best
cows as his own. They had never
dreamed Of making such a bargain.
Ten cows for bit Of stone! Off they
went again and found diamonds every
day; they all became rich and accu-
mulated good store Of precious
stones.
"After we had accumulated large
quantity we decided we had better
send them to London. We made a belt
full of small pockets, in each Of which
we placed diamond. When the belt
was filled my partner girded it about
his body and started for Cape Town.
He never took off the belt until he
reached London. And it was in this
way that the first consignment OF
African diamonds reached London

Rather a Pleasing Mistake.

A wealthy American in London
dropped into a shop to purchase a set
Of decanters. AS the purchase repre-
sented more money than he had on
his person at the time he gave his
address at the hotel and instructed the
assistant to mark them G. O. D. The
assistant made a note Of the request,
but the purchaser was surprised to
find the goods left at the hotel with
out demand for payment. When the
parcel was unpacked, however, 1t de-
veloped that each decanter had been
beautifully engraved in twining let
tiers, &c. o. D."

AMERICANS EATERS OF MEAT.
In Time Vegetable or F-uit Diet May
Be the Rule Here.

Al lime vegetable or Fruit Diet May
Be the Rule Here.
That Americans are great meat eat
ers may be considered a fact Of deriva-
tlon from the hunting and fishing
stage OF the country's life. So long as
meat was abundant and cheap it had
the recommendations which led to its
choice as the principal article Of food.
The vegetarian who here and there
raised his voice in protest against the
consumption of flesh foods was little
needed. A people are guided in the
selection of tEeir foods very little by
deliberate choice. They eat the things
which are closest to hand. The tune
may come with that remote future to
which is referred everything Utopian
when nations will deliberately select
the predominating articles Of their diet
with reference to the development OF
specific racial chara cteristics. But at
present people in general are not even
convinced that what they eat has rele-
vancy to what, as a nation, they be-
come.
For few centuries to come, Ameri-
cans certainly will continue to eat the
food convenient to Them" while good
humoredly allowing the cerealsts to
tickle their palates with health foods.
But even American independence OF
Indifference is amenable to the die
tateS Of destiny. Just now Americans
seem destined to drift more strongly
than ever toward a fruit diet The
moving consideration is the fancy fig
ures, with an upward tendency, at
which flesh foods are sold. The other
consideration is the abundance and
cheapness of fruits. AS wisdom takes
counsel of necessity, a third motive.
which of itself would not have great
weight, is the superior wholesomeness
Of fruit foods.
We produce the biggest apple crops
In the world, our peach crops are I'M
paralleled, our watermelons and small
fruits respond in abundance to the
mere tickling of the soil with hoe.
The same story holds true of all do
nestle fruits. But this term has be-
come elastic. California distributes
throughout the country great quanti-
ties Of tropical fruits and the area Of
cultivation Of these is constantly ex-
tending. When the Panama trench Is
dug the Pacific coast fruits can be
brought to the Eastern markets with
greater celebrity and less cost. Modern
means Of transportation have made the
plantations Of the West Indies also al
most the same as though they were
within the country confines
It Is safe to predict that the con-
sumption Of bananas especially will
soon be increased. Oranges are being
consumed in rapidly increasing quar-
titles. Certainly during the summer
months fruit will be king During the
winter months the force Of habit will
prevail and more fruit and less meat
will be eaten.-Baltimore Herald.

n was very dainty, gentlemanly

and nearly dropped his gripsack into
the seat before he saw that it was oc-
cupied by the baby.
Oraddock stared down at it through

classed them all under one head-as a
6oppy, inane backboneless crowd. But
this particular one was different.
Suddenly the baby saw him and
smiled. It had blue eyes. Their ex-
preston was not the customary con-
centrated, disconcerting one, but was
sensible and friendly.
