THE HUMAN BODY.
Composition Of tAe House In Which
Mans Spirit Abides.

Composition of tAe House In Which
Mans Spirit Abides.
The foundation of the human body
is composed of 206 bones, covered
with 522 voluntary muscles. The
smaller blood vessels aye so numerous
as to be beyond the telling. but we
have no fewe-- han about 1000 arteries
through when the blood is always
flowing under the government of the
heart. ID
The blood is composed of two constit-
uents, 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
thrabbing with messages which they
telegraph to the main office-tne 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 is built of such fine
porous stuff that, if spread out, it
would be found to cover stretch of
land big enough to contain a fifteen
r0omed 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 2,500.00O.. Their function
is to deposit secretions upon the skin;
hence the necessity of a daily tub to
wash this stuff away, otherwise it clogs
proper working.

"HOOKS" HIS PLUMBER.

The Way the Sneak Thief In Mexico
Plies His Trade.
In Mexico the sneak thief has his
business down to. science. The ia
vored manner of stealing is from the
houses. Most of the buildings are but
one story high, and the doors are kept
closed and locked. The windows are
as large as the doors and extend to the
floor. To keep the thieves out of the
house they are protected with heavy
iron bars, but the Mexican sneak thief
has found way to overcome this diff
fculty.
Because of the Bwness of the win
dow he can look into the room and
"spot" the articles he wishes. Then he
waits until the occupant of the room
is in some other part of the house. A
bamboo pole about as long as fishing
rod is produced to which is attached
piece of string with a fish hook on
the end.
= The thief. by practice, can cast the
hook so that it will catch on almost any
article in the room, no matter how far
it may be from ahe window. Slowly
tits drawn forward and pulled through
the bars
In this manner articles are taken off
the bureau or tables. rugs snatched
from the floor and bedclothes from
|. the bed. Clothing left on chairs or
| hanging on the wall is easily removed.
The thieves 90 not even wait until tie
occupants are. out Of the room in all
cases. .sThere have been cases. where
men asa women who were undressing
in the.ss1oons have lost clothing while
their backs were turned to the window.

THE FLAG REVERSED.
4 Fisherhaan's Emblem That Tells of
distress and Hope.

FIsherfraan's En- bIern That Tells of
distress and Hope.
One of the frequent sights in the
ports along the eastern coast is that'of
a fishing schooner coming into the har-
Dor with an American flag holsted at
the mainmast head in it's reverse posi-
ton. To the IL terested spectators that
flag always brings a pang Of distress.
for it means that one or more of the
crew are missing through some caIan-
ity of the sea. But to the members of
the craft itself the signal is not always
an emblem of woe The flag is hoisfed.
from their viewpoint, to notify those
concerned that the complement of the
ship is not full, and they live on hone
for a long time before they acknowl-
edge that the men who have disappear
ed are really lost.
A stranger to seafaring ways asked
the skipper of one of these fishing
schooners the other day what the dis
tress signal meant, and he was set
right by the captain, who remarked in
the most cheerful way in the world:
They're missingSout of tn crew. of
course, but we haven't given them UP
by a long. sight Ye see, they may
have been picked up by some other
boat an carried off to tn other side.
Oh, no, we don't give them up just be
cause we've missed them! It's more
than likely they'll turn up yet" New

ELECTION STRATEGY.
IN incident of an English Par1fa-
memtary Contest.

mentary Contest.
In the days before the institution of
the secret ballot, when the candidate
with the longest purse usually won an
election, a former Lord Dundonald,
who refused to give brides, contested
Honlton, but was beaten by an oppo-
nent who paid his electors at the rate
Of E5 a vote.
Then the unsuccessful candidate
conceived this brilliant plan, says the
writer Of a history Of the Dundonald
family He announced to his friends
that he was quite determined to win
the seat next time without bribery.
Then he sent the town crier round the
town to announce that all who had
voted for him in this first election might
repair to his agent, from whom they
would receive f10.
As comparatively few people had
voted for him, this was not a very ex-
pensive process. And at the next cleo
ton Lord Dundona'd was elected by
an enormous majority. After the tri-
umph several people came to him and
dellcately suggested that some reward
was due to such loyalty.
Not a farthing." was the reply.
But, my lord, you gave 910 head
to the minority,at the last election. and
the majority have been counting on
something handsome on this occasion. "
Perhaps So" said the clever candi-
date. My former gift was for their
DISTINGUISHED conduct in not taking my
opponents bride of Is. For me to pay
them now would be to violate my own
principles '-Pearson's
