MOST POPULAR NUMBERS.
Seven and Thirteen Are Fixed Upon in the Minds of the Greater
 Number of Men.

"Ask a man to pick out some num- Der between one and ten, and you can tell him nine times out of ten what number be has selected, though his ss- lection is made mentally" said a man who, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, is fond of the old things, "and when you come to think of it, the task of naming the correct number is not difficult one. In the course of an hour the other day asked ten men tt, think of certain number-any number between one and ten-and I would tell them what num- Der they had fNsd their mind on In nine cases out of ten was correct, missing 1t only once. The minds oi nine of the persons selected the mum. Der seven, and one of them selected nine. It is not difficult to understand why the mind should run to the num- Der seven. Even in the case of ths man who fixed his mind on the num- Der nine. he told me when i. was all over that his mind had first run to seven, but he quickly changed to ninc without knowing just why it was tha. he changed. Seven is the most prom inent figure between one and ten. It is the most popular number in the line. and is associated with more things than any other number. and 1t is quits reasonable that the mind should light on seven. I made another test the other day with five persons. asking each of them to write some number between one and ten, and give 1t to sixth per- son. When the slips had been handed to the sixth man I said: Seven is the number on each of the slips
 "'Correct," said the man to whom they had been handed. and the flvs men were a bit bewildered for the moment by the fact that they had all l,it upon the same number, and that I was able to tell what the number was. It would be quite as easy to name a number between 10 and 20. though I have made no tests along this line. dare say that 13 would be the first number to flash in the mind, simply because 1t is the most talked of, and the only number between 10 and 20 that has the widest association. So you can tell there Is no trick about it. and 1t doesn't require any knowledge of the occult philosophies."

CURIOUS WORMS OF NORWAY
They Gather in Great Numbers Form. ing a Serpent-Like Mass
 When Migrating.

The Sciaras, of the genus Tiplux, tiny .wormlike creature which is found in the forests of Norway and Hungary dur ing the month of July or early in August gather in huge numbers preparatory to migrating in search of food or for change of conditions. When setting out on this journey, says Nature, they stick themselves together by means of some glutinous matter and form huge ser. pentlike mass, often reaching length of between 40 and 50 feet and several inches in thickness. As the scaria is only on an average of about three-thir- ty-seconds of an inch in length, with no appreciable breadth whatever, the num- Der required to form a continuous line of the size above mentioned Is incal- culable | .H
 Their pace Is, of course, very slow. and upon meeting an obstacle, such as . stick or stone, they either writhe over or around it. sometimes breaking into two bodies for the purpose A celebrated French naturalist says that If the rear portion of this snakelike procession bo brought into contact with the front part the insects will keep moving round in that circle for hours. never seeming to realize that they are getting no further on their journey. If the portions be broken in two the procession will unite in shorttime. When the peasant meets one of these processions he will lay some obstacle in front of it. If 1t passes over 1t 1t is good omen

The Leopard of the Shows.

When we look at the leopards in a menagerie our minds instinctively turn
 to pictures of the hot tropics and the tor rid lands of the equator. But there are leopards that love the snow, and never willingly descend below the levels where snowstorms occur in summer as we'll as in winter. The New York Zoo- logical park possesses, at present, q beautiful specimen of the snow leop- ard" whose home is among the lofty mountains about Thibet. Thousands of tanned skins of the snow leopard ars carried to Shanghai for sale. but the iiv- ing animal is rarely seen away from his cool noun ia home Youth 8 ComDsa-

EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Our Larger Cities Have An- nexed Ground Far Into Adja-
 cent Farm Lands.

According to a recently issued census bulletin, the real rank of cities is not al- ways indicated by the order in which they stand in the tables of population. Some great centers have q considerable part of their massed population lying outside the municipal boundaries. Bos.. ton is good example; about 1,200, 900 people live in sight of the state house dome, and less than 600 900 of them are governed by the Boston mayor. Other cities have annexed far into the farm lands of the adjacent country, says Youths Companion.
 It is customary to speak of the popula- tion of a state, "in proportion to it's size" Such a comparison Is seldom made of cities, although 1t might not be uninteresting. Pittsburg, for example, has population of third of million on 18,000 acres of ground; New York's population, little more than ten times as great, spreads over nearly 12 times as many acres.
 Chicago was long famous for its an- nexation habit, but since 1890 New York Ud6 auutAcu uuCu mOT6 L0TIILOEy LQdu Chicago's total area. New Orleans has a slightly larger area than Chicago Each of them covers six times the area of Baltimore.
 Washington, which occupies the Mary land part of the ten miles square set aside for a national capital, is fair sized city as area goes, for this genera tion. It may seem small a century hence, although it looked abundantly ample for all the purposes of urban development when laid out.
 In the case of cities, as we'll as of other corporations, consolidation is plainly one of the tendencies of the times More than one-third of those in the United States have added to their territory by annexation since 1890. Townships and counties are occasionally subdivided, by reason of local interests, but tho cities seem to be steadily pushing their boun. daries outward. There are some eco. homie reasons for this. but the reason In many cases has been the desire of their inhabitants to make . "good show. ing"

Some mothers clip the baby's eye lashes to make them grow long. This may be all right for the baby. but after maturity has been reached it is perhaps betetr to rub little pure ointment or plain vaseline into the lashes rather than to clip the ends.-MsdicAl Talk x
