SQUARE JAW is AMERICAN.
Type OF Man Who Makes His Way il
Spite of All Obstacles.

In commenting on the British Med.
zeal Journals statement that The
American of to-day presents a firm,
square jaw, broad brow and clear,
keen eye, which together usually rem.
der the recognition of his nationality
a matter of no great difficulty" a New
York editorial writer says:
From these features we single out
the square jaw as the American fea-
ture. The American nose is not much
TO brag on, and if the American fore
head is unusually high, that is a case
for the hair specialist, not the phre-
nologist But no other race Of men
have such jaws as the American. If
anything, they may be a little over.
done. There is too much bone. Tie
chin is long, square, overassertive. 1t
initiates against the perfect oval Of
the classic countenance. Some of us
are inclined to the prognathous. 1t
would seem that the house of Haps-
burg has cousins among us But all
in ALL ii is good fault Thank
heaven, we are not a sheep-faced
folk.
The history of this people is re-
corded in their jaws, not in their
noses. Their individualistic jutting
chins tell that they have had to make
their way and have inherited nothing
but the disposition TO do it, The
receding chin, the fish jaw are the
penalties of being born with a silver
spoon in ones mouth"

when chronic constipation effects them
they take pills every few days to force the
bowels TO perform their natural function.

VALUE OF THE FAMILY BIBLE.
Will Be Hard to Get Historical Data II
II Disappears.

Professor Frederick Starr, head Of
me anthropology department OF the
University of Chicago, in relating to
his class some of his experiences in
the Congo incidentally called attention
TO the fact that the oldrfashioned fam
fly bible, with its birth and death rec
ords, was rapidly disappearing from
homes In civilized countries.
I'm not one-half the families today
were we able TO get the exact age
and place of birth and other desired
data" he said. 1T is even more diff
cult to get such information in Africa
! think If the Bible, or some such book
as the old-fashioned Bible of the civil
lized home existed these historical
facts would be the more easily learned,
and of course the moral influence
would be greater"
Professor Starr also called atten-
ton to the motto of the Congo Free
State-"Labor and Progress" The
motto he said was well known among
the natives, young and old.
1T is notorious here that few amer
leans know the motto OF their own
state" concluded Professor Starr.

On recent occasion down south"
three little negroes, Moses, Jackson

house" by "Marse" John, who had
owned their grandfather. He informed
them that he would give ten bright
new cents to the one of them who
would tell him what were the three
best things In the world TIE coins
were placed on table and the white
man held out three straws Of different
lengths, the boy who should draw the
longest straw to have the first say

taneous grab for the money and made
off with it, one Of them shouting back
in a beligerent tone:

SPOILED EFFECT OF SCENE.
Unfortunate Tipping Of Candle Too
Much for Audience.

The late Joseph Jefferson took de-
light in telling a story of business"
in the earlier days of the Walnut
Street theater, Philadelphia. Cam
lille" was being played and all was go
ing with intensity. Then came a
scene between Camille and Armand,
in the course of which servant was
. to enter with lights. In those days,
said Mr.. Jefferson, sea island cotton
was stage ice cream just as molasses
and water were stage wine, sherry or
port, according to the proportion of
molasses. Armand and Camille were
seated at the table, where they had
been enjoying such viands as these,
and their dialogue was making the
very best Of an impression on the
crowded house Then in came that
maid servant with the wabbliest sort
of a candelabrum. The scene was so
engrossing that she was scarcely no
ticed, but when she sat down her bur
den between the lovers and one of
the candles toppled out and put the
ice cream in a BLACKWELL. the strain
was broken. The entire audience burst
into laughter and the curtain had to
be rung down. Weekly.

The Lions Mouth.

The use Of the lions mouth as the
vent of fountain is so common that
it cannot be regarded as accidental.
As a matter of fact the custom like
so many customs-nut forgetting the
fountain PEN came from Egypt, which
adopted it because the annual inuada-
ton of the Nile taxes place when the
sun is in the constellation Leo the
lion. The allusion is too obvious to
need pointing out The Oldest liked
date (424l b. c. can be traced to
Egypt, where the calendar was intro
duced in the middle of the forty-third
century; and the history of modern
ship-building began in Egypt where it
can be t-aced TO about 1000 b. c. The
most recent discoveries give to the
land of Egypt a clean run of about
1000 years without any admiXture
