THE UPPER LIP.
A Theory About the .Furrow Whic
RIMS below the Nose


A Theory About the Furrow which
Runs Below the Nose.
Below the nose runs furrow part
ing the upper lip. In the faces of
babies and children this furrow is very
noticeable From the evolutionist's
point of view it Is one of the most
remarkable characters of the face II
and 1t is not seen among the catarrhine
monkeys. Among the platyrhines II
is but feebly developed, but In lemurs
1t Is in more pronounced state. There
is a depressed septum, to which the
two side pieces are Joined The upper
lip. in fact, is nearly split in two, but
held together in a depressed piece of
flesh. In the marsupialia and roden-
tia the lip is practically in two pieces
and each piece is capable Of being
moved separately. This is the hare
lip" and its method of use may well
be noticed in a hare or a rabbit when
eating.
The furrow, therefore, In the child's
lip points to this-that our ancestors
possessed not single upper lip. as we
do now, but two upper lips. one be-
meath each nostril, both capable of
Independent movement. In the course
Of time these two lips have, owing to
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Independent
movement, grown together to form the
single lip we now possess, but the
line of junction is not perfect, and
so the furrow results, and sometimes
there Is distinct scar down the mid.

The possession of the furrowed up

est pieces of evidence against the de-

intervention of platyrhine-like ances-
tors, of which there are no exact liv-
ing tives.-Nineteenth Cen

with Young Men and Maidens
1t is customary in Polish villages to
strew straw over the Christmas eve
supper tables aud for the young ps.ple,
blindfolded or In the dark, to pick out
each a straw therefrom. Should the
straw be green the lucky maiden ex-
poets to wear a bridal wreath or the
youth to lead blushing bride to the

dried straw foretells to either long
waiting. possibly even until death.
In other rural Polish districts on the

are placed by girl between two can

MAKING SILK HATS.


A Workman Explains Why His Fore

The nail of his right forefnger was

from curling hat brims that his finger

ORIGIN OF NAVAL TITLES.


Borrowed Military Terms From the
Arabic and the Spanish.
In the early days the rank of admiral
was unknown. The chief officer Of a
squadron was called constable or JUS
tice. The term admiral as now used
Is derived from the Arabic "amir," or
"emir," commander (as In ''amir-al-
bahr," commander of the seal. The
early English form was "amiral" and
Is still preserved as such by the
French. The Spanish and Portuguese
terms are "almirante," the Italian
"ammiraglio." The title captain is not
naval but military one. Under the
older organization the real captain of
ship was master, but a military Of
ficer was placed ON board, though he
knew nothing about nautical affairs
AS the captain became bigger and big
ger the master became smaller and
smaller until at the present day he
nils subordinate position, which Is
gradually becoming obsolete, being re-
placed by an officer under the title of
navigating lieutenant.
Commodore comes from the Spanish
commentator" The title lieutenant.
borrowed directly from the French, is
more modern and Is meant as a place
holder or one who took the place of
the captain when absent. Sublieuten-
ant is still more modern and at the
same time a mlsnomer, as he never
was sublieutenant, but merely
mate, or one who assisted. In former
days we had no cadets, but volun-
teers. However, with the gradual ad-
vance Of politness, the more seemly
term Of cadets was borrowed from the
French and adopted as the title OF the
young gentlemen in our navy.
In place of paymasters the ships of
old had pursers, who looked after the
provisions. The naval purser did more.
He had charge of the stores of the
ship and the money chest. Surgeons
and surgeons mates fulfilled the duties
Of the doctors. Chaplains are of mod

and schooimasters ruled in their stead.

ninth begin with the bismillah, I'm

Twenty nine begin with certain letters

be the peculiar marks Of the Koran
and to conceal several profound mys-
teries, the understanding of which, the
more intelligent confess, has not been
communicated to any mortal. their
prophet only excepted
According to Moslem tradition, the
Archangel Gabriel paid 24.000 visits
TO earth while revealing to Mohammed
the wishes of the Creator. Some few
greater part was revealed piecemeal
and written down at the prophets die
tation by Zaid, his secretary. The first
revelation, it is generally agreed, con-
tanned the first five verses Of the nine
ty-sixth sura. After the passages had
been written down they were published
to the prophets followers, several of
whom took copies, while most learned
them by heart, and the originals were
then placed in a chest in no particular
order. For this reason it is uncertain
when many Of the passages were re-
vealed.
Abu Bekr, Mohammeds first success
sor, collected the originals, which were
on palm leaves and skins, and had
copies made by Zaid from the dictation
of those who had committed the pas
sages to memory. He further placed
the suras in the order still followed,
putting the longest at the head of the
list without regard to historical Sc
quence. Some time later Osman had
the Koran copied in the Quraish dia-
lect and suppressed the versions made
by Abu Bekr.-Chicago News.
