weight Of the Brain.

There is just FIVE ounces less amount
Of brain matter needed to keep WON
an from idiocy than there is needed
for a man. The average weight Of a
mans brain Is forty-nine and one-half
ounces and that of a woman forty-four
ounces. When a brain falls below thir-
ty-seven and a half ounces In a man
ldiocy usually occurs. A woman's
brain has to fall to thirty-two and one
half ounces before she reaches the
same condition. Man has a larger
brain In proportion to his stature than
woman, while, on the other hand. WON
an has larger brain In proportion to
her weight. The female brain begins
to lose weight after the age of thirty;
that Of the man not till ten or fifteen
years later. The loss In a woman Is
slight, however, and she keeps up a
high brain weight much later than a
man.

ne Redouin Of socotra.

The Bedouin is decidedly hand
some individual. 1.-the of limb like his
goats, and with a cafe au lait colored
skin. He has sharp profile, excellent
teeth. He often wears a stubby black
beard and has beautifully penciled eye
brows, and, though differing entirely
In language, In physique and type, he
closely resembles the Bedouin found In
the Mahri and Cara mountains. Fur
thermore, the mode of life Is the same
dwelling In caves when necessary,
but having permanent abodes on the
lower lands-and they have several
other striking points in common. Greet
ings take place between the Arabian
Bedouins and the Socotran Bedouins
In similar fashion-by touching each
cheek and then rubbing the nose.
We found the Bedouin of Mount
Haghier fond of dancing and playing
his teherane. and also peculiarly lax
In his religious observances, and.
though ostensibly conforming to Mo-
hammedan practice, he observes next
to none Of their precepts, and it Is pre-
cisely the same with the Bedouins
whom we met In the Cara mountains.
There is certainly nothing African
about the Socotran Bedouin. There
fore I am inclined to consider him as
q branch Of that aboriginal race which
inhabited Arabia, with language Of
its own.-Nineteenth Century.

Historic ola New York.

Greenwich village, In New York city.
was first brought into prominence
when Sir Peter Warren, descended
from an ancient Irish family and vice
admiral of the British fleet, settled
there in TIA He married Susannah
De Lancey and settled on fine estate
of more than 800 acres, running from
Christopher street to West Twenty
first 1t was laid out like an English
park, with splendid hedges and ave
nues Of trees and a fine old mansion,
which was the resort of all the quality
of old New York. His three daughters
all made brilliant marriages in Eng
land. One became the Countess of
Abingdon, and her name is preserved
In Abingdon square. On the division
of the estate at Sir Peters death the
homestead fell to her. She sold 1t to
Abijah Hammond, who sold it to Abra-
ham Van Nest, and it Is still remem-
bered by many as the old Van Nest
house, demolished in 1865. Among
other distinguished persons who have
lived In Greenwich were Oliver De
Lancey. William Bayard, Washington,
Vice President and Mrs. John Adams.

On the city seal Of Dubuque. Ia, APP
pear the words "La petite mutt" and
strangers are always puzzled by them.
Why should Dubuque be called '.the
little nightY It Is explained that the
place originally was settled by an old
miner named Dubuque. When the In
dams granted certain lands to Dubuque
the document was drawn up In French
In Prairie du Chen. The clerk who
did the work believed that '.la petite
mutt" meant 1.-THE old MINER" and his
mistake has perpetuated a phrase
which, however pretty, has no signifi-
canoe In Its present connection.

order Of British Titles.


They had been talking about an Eng
fish marquis and the position he held
among his titled aristocracy.
81 didn't know a marquis ranked so
high" said the girl In white.
.Dear mel" said an Englishman.
didn't you? Why, a marquis ranks
next to a duke"
He paused to sip his tea and take a
foie gras sandwich.
Marques. not marquis" he went
on, sis the more accurate use Of the
word. 1t is so spelled and pronounced
In Burke. Shall tell you the degrees
Of the English aristocracy7 The knowl-
edge may be useful to you when You

dukes come marqulses, then earls. Wis

me Parrot Fi.h.

There are water parrots as well as
land parrots. The parrot fish come
from the tropics, are brilliantly colored
and have beaks something like those
of the parrot, for use in breaking on
the coral shell In order to get at the
living polyp. Not all Of them, how
ever. live on animal food. some species
being herbivorous. One species Is
found In the Mediterranean sea. where
It has been known for thousands OF
years. The Greeks and Romans re-
garded 1t for time as the first of
fishes, and Pliny tells us how It was
introduced into the Italian sea In the
course Of the reign OF Claudius- 1t
was known as the ''scarus" by the an
clients, who told some wonderful sto-
ries about Its love, its wisdom and its
summation. Some having a length of
sixteen inches have been captured

me D..aly Dull bachelor.

att is always easy to see how long
. couple have been married by noting
whether the house is full Of his friends
or hers" according to a writer In the
London Ladies' Field. "a man invari-
ably begins by inviting all his bach
elor friends TO his house. He Is anx-
ious to show or his wife, and he fond
" imagines that they win like her
and that she will like them, which rare
" happens" The writer. then goes on
to dissect the bachelor and concludes.
81 don't know why ones husbands
bachelor chums should. as rule. be
30 deadly dull, but they usually are.
and, as a matter of fact, 1t was prob
ably their dullness which originally
drove him into matrimony, only he has
not the sense to see It" There would
be fewer married II 1t weren't for the
bachelors.

Quick wit.

There Is no more effective weapon to
defend US from impertinence or rude
ness than quick. sharp wit. But few
men have It, and 1t is born with them.
Il we try to initiate it we end in Ill
nature and scurrility. Wit cannot be
forced into growth. But courtesy and
good temper can. These weapons are
sure and grow brighter and stronger
with age.
