"Whlskers" was a word formerly
used to designate the hair on the up
per lip. Scott more than once speaks
Of "whiskers on the upper lip" and so
does Defoe in Robinson Crusoe."
Johnson defined a "whisker" as the
hair growing on the upper lip or cheek
unshaven; a mustaChio." 1t seems to
have taken its name from a fancied
resemblance TO a small brush. to
"whiSk" properly meaning TO sweep,

VALUE OF A RIGHT LEG.
Held by Surgeon Decrease Boys Value
Only IS Per Cent.

Jersey City, n. AT just how
much do you value right leg, on
which you have foot, and mayhap
toes with corns that smart and burn
and tickle when damp weather comes?
When you are half block from a
speeding, tantalizing trolley car and
making excellent time in its direction
you think that the leg is invaluable,
but the crudity of your estimate is
impressed with severity on you when
you realize that to be without that leg
is only to detract 10 per cent, from
your ability to get along in the world,
according to a statement made by an
expert on such matters, DR.. William
J. Arlitz, a surgeon in st. Francis hos.
pital The physician testified to this
in a suit for damages tried in the cir
cult court brought for siX.year-old
boy.
The surgeon claimed that boys of
tender years, when presented with a
cork or wooden leg in exchange for
one of the foot-bearing kind, with the
accompanying corns and bunions,
were able to become so proficient in
it's use that its presence was unknown
to the ordinary observer, and that it
could be detected only by careful ex-
animation.
"Why, boys can play baseball, ride
a bicycle, run up and down stairs, and
| have even seen one lad walk a slack
wire after he had become accustomed
to the use of the leg" said the sur
geon.
