THE HUMAN BODY.
Composition of the House In Which
Mans Spirit Abides.

Composition of the House In Which
Mans Spirit Abides.
The foundation of the human body
is composed Of 206 bones, covered
with 622 voluntary muscles. The
84A!lcr blood vessels are so numerous
Us to be beyond the telling. but we
have no fewer than about 1000 arteries
through which the blood is always
fowilg under the government of the
heart
The hlood~is composed of two constit-
Gents, termed by psychologists red and
white corpuscles, numbering some thou
sands of millions.
Our house has something like 600
tiny telegraph wires, called nerves.
connected with the brain and spinal
cord, and these little wires are always
throbbing with messages which they
telegraph to the main oftice-the brain.
Besides these there are the sympathet-
ic wires, or nerves, numbered by thou
sands, which help the former.
The front of our house, the skin, has
been measured up and found, if spread
out, to cover fifteen square feet,
The ventilation scheme by which we
get our fresh air ia built of such fine
porous stuff that, If spread out, it
would be found to cover a stretch of
land big enough to contain a fifteen
roomed house. We refer TO the lungs
which have hundreds Of millions Of
air cells
To every square inch of the palm of
the hand are $500 pores, while the
number of sweat glands in the skin
generally is 100000. Their fVnetion
is to deposit secretions upon the skin;
hence the necessity of daily tub TO
wash this @t%f away, otherwise it clogs
{he sweat glands and prevents their
proper working.

Beuutiful Pearls,

The pearls found on the gulf coast
of Lower California are said to exhibit
a greater variety of colors than those
of any other part of the world, and the
business of pearl fishing there is grow
ing. The chief colors are black, gray,
red, blush green and yellowish. The
red pearls rank among the most valu-
able. They possess a fine luster, and
many of them are large and of the
most perfect shape. They are, how
eyer, found only occasionally.

HOW WEASELS HUNT.
The Graceful Pose of the Animals
when ON the Trail.

The Graceful Pose of the Animals
When ON the Trail.
The 1.-the grace of the weasel may
be observed whenever it is on the trail.
At an even speed, with nose to the
ground, it's reddish brown back seems
literally to glide along through the rank
heritage by the bank.
1t may be the scent of a rat, and the
trail may take it in and out of the
bank a good many times before it
comes up with its victim. 1t may even
have to swim stream before it's per-
sistence is rewarded. 1t is wonderful
how small hole that long, arched
body can glide into and emerge from
without the slightest difficulty.
When it has caught and killed it's
prey its movements are equally grace
full as it carries the spoil home to its
hole. Crossing a Kentish field / saw a
weasel coming along under the hedge
row red toothed from the chase. There
was the same sinuous motion of the
back, but the little beasts head was
held as high as possible and from it's
mouth hung the limp carcass of a
young rat, freshly killed. The weasel
held it by the neck and so high, for all
the shortness of its legs, that only the
end of the rats tail dragged through
the grass.
A family of weasels will often hunt
In company, and this is naturally a
most interesting sight to witness. The
ability of the weasel to enter exceed
ingly small holes Is owing entirely to
the structure of it's body-its fiat head.
long neck and short limbs and tail. In

The Marriage Knet.

A good deal Is heard Of the marriage
knot" but very few of us realize that
the knot was ever anything more than
a figure Of speech. Among the Baby
lonians tying the knot was part Of the
marriage ceremony, says Home Chat.
The priest took a thread from the gar
ment of the bride and another from
that of the bridegroom and tied them
into q knot which he gave to the bride,
thus symbolizing the binding nature Of
the union which now existed between
herself and her husband.

Her Suicide a Mystery.

A woman, % years old, who arrived

mi!ted suicide Wednesday night. She
was well dressed, and upon arrival at the
hotel asked for the best room in the no.

stated to the porter that she was from
the West. She was not called for break
fast. When the porter raped on the
door and received no answer he reported
to the clerk, and they both went to the
room and found the door unlocked. On
the bed was an empty Phisl, with few
drops of laudsDum, which told the story
of the suicide.
Several railroad men say they knew
the woman at Charleston, w. Va, as
helen Gikeson and think she registered
at the Allegheny under a false name.
The body was taken to Bratton and in
