THE HUMAN RIBS.
Man Has Twelve Pairs, and Woman
Has Just the Same.

Man Has Twelve Pairs, and Woman
Has just the Same.
A man who had been sick said he
was SO thin he could count his ribs.
When heard this statement asked,
How many did you countT He was
unable to answer. Several friends were
standing by, and the query was put to
them. Not man could tell the num-
Der of his ribs. One bright chap said
in all seriousness that a woman has
one more rib than a man, because man
lost one in the fashioning Of woman.
And, do you know, this belief is COM
monf Suddenly spring the question on
any acquaintance you may happen to
meet in the days Journey1ng. Unless
he be medical man he will In all prob
ability be unable to answer.
1t is an anatomical fact that man has
twelve pairs of ribs and woman the
same number. The four short ribs,
two on each side, are the "free" ribs,
and in all probability Eve was made Of
one of these. A man could manage to
struggle through life without his free
ribs, and have no doubt that ere long
some corset manufacturer will require
woman to have hers removed in order
to lengthen her waist and to reduce its
girth. To break a few of the asternal
ribs ten altogether) is nothing; to
break some of the sternal fourteen in
number) ones is far more serious.-New

THE BIRD OF DEATH.

IL Ia the Only VenOmous Member Of
the Feathered Tribe.
Among all the thousands Of feathered
creatures classified by the trained or
nithologists but one, the rpir n'doob,
or bird of DEATH" is known to be ven
omous. This queer and deadly species
of the winged and feathered tribe is
native Of the island Of Papua, or New
Guinea. The bird is described as be-
ing about the size Of common tame
pigeon, of gray plumage and tail Of
extraordinary length, ending in a tip
of brilliant scarlet red. 1t is q marsh
bird and is found to inhabit only the
immense stagnant pools adjoining the
lakes of the interior of the island. The
rpir has hooked beak as sharp as
cocks spur and hollow. The venom
with which 1t inoculates is distilled in
a set Of organs which nature has pro-
vided for that purpose and which lie in
the upper mandible, just below the
openings of the nostrils. Under this
poison secreting laboratory in the roof
Of the mouth is a small fieshy knob.
When the bird sets its beak in the
flesh Of a victim this knob receives a
pressure which liberates the venom
and inoculates the wound No man,
native or otherwise, was ever known
to recover from a bite inflicted by q
rpir n'doob. The suffering in such
cases is said to be much more agoniz-
ing than in cases of rattlesnake and
ella monster bites.

HAIR AND Boards.
They Have Played Important Parts
In the Worlds History,

In the Worlds History,
In centuries past the human hair
played an Important part In all judicial
proceedings. Those that were permit.
ted to wear beard and hair had rights
tnat could not be claimed by the shorn
and shaved. When men made oath
they touched their beard and hair, and
women placed the finger tips of the
right hand on their tresses.
Servants were obliged to have their
hair cut, and If a freedman went into
slavery he had to divest himself of his
hirsute adornments. An adult adopted
by foster parents was obliged to have
his beard shaved, and the shaving of
beard and hair was punishment in
ficted on criminals. The jurisprudence
OF our ancestors dealt with punishment
"by skin and hair" for small oifenses
and by neck and hand" for greater
crimes,
There has always been more or less
superstition about hair. Great strength
was implied by 1t, and wizards and
witches knew of concoctions Of hair by
which they poisoned enemies. Cats
hair was especially named in the cate.
CORY of poisonous hairs. and even at
the beginning Of the seventeenth CEN
tury Paulus Zacchias, famous physi.
clan, writes Of the virulent poison Of
the hair Of cats.
Among civilized people such supersti.
tlous beliefs have gone out of existence,
and only Malays give their enemies
tiger hairs in broth to kill them.

One Of the most energetic nest build
ers is the marsh wren. In fact, he has
the habit to such degree that he can
not stop with one nest, but goes on
building four or FIVE in rapid success
sion. And there is nothing slovenly
about his work either. Look among the
cattails In the nearest marsh, even
within the limits of a great city, and
you will find his little woven balls Of
reed stems, with tiny round hole in
one side. There is a certain method
even in his madness, for the nest in
which his wife is brooding her seven
or eight eggs is less likely to be found
when there are SO many empty ones
around. Then, too, he uses the others
as roosting places for himself.-London

MASCULINE OIMPLES.

They Are Not Always Appreciated by
Their Owners.
"Dimples are Just as common among
men as among women" says a New
York beauty doctor, "only they don't
show off to such good advantage.
Beard ana mustache combine to hide
their charm. Anyhow, men are not
proud of dimples. They consider them
a sign of efreminacy. Now that smooth
faces are the fashion, the man with a
dimple in cheek or chin Is hard put to
it to hide that beauty mark. In his ex-
tremlty he seeks relief from me.
"'What can do with these confound-
ed dimplesr he asks.
"Take 'em OUT l advise.
"'Can you do itY he asks.
"'Sure, says I.
"All right says he, go ahead
Then begin treatment. In the past
year l have removed sets Of dimples
from mems faces that any woman of
their acquaintance would have paid
800 for. All men with money to
spend patronize the beauty doctor more
shamelessly than they used to, but OF
all the miracles they wish performed
there is none they insist upon so stout
ly as the removal of dimples. ."-Ex-

are established, so that work is shared

two divisions, starboard and port. A
