Sweat and Perspire.

It is possible to tell almost exactly
when the more elegant ~"perspire"
drove out the vulgar Sweat" Ac-
cording to a writer in the London Gen
tleman's Magazine in 1901, ':for some
time past neither man, woman nor
child in Great Britain and ireland of
any rank Of fashion has been subject
to the gross form Of emulation which
was formerly known as sweat Now
every mortal. except carriers, coal
beavers, and chafrmen, merely per
Spires For these twenty years past
the word. sweat has. been gradually
becoming more and more odious."
Before Ito or so "perspiration"
commonly meant an insensible process,
"sweating" the grosser variety there
of. In n Of his sermons Wesley re-
marked that during a nights sleep a
healthy man ~perspires one part in four
less when he sweats than when he
does not" That would be meaning
less today.

BIRDS NECKs.

tie the Number Of Bones In Them
That Makes Them Flexible.
The flamingoes were making . their
afternoon toilets in the big flying cage
at the Bronx zoo the other afternoon,
says a writer in a New York paper.
A crowd Of children and grown people
were looking on and exclaiming with
admiring wonder at the way these
birds were twisting their long necks
about into all sorts of corkscrews and
curves when n Of the pathological
experts came along and stopped to
watch the performance.
tits the larger number Of bones In q
birds neck, not the length, that make
it 30 flexible" he remarked. There
are t~wenty-three bones in the neck of
a swan, for example. and a. few more
in that Of the 1amingo. 1t seems that
the smaller the animal organism the
larger the number Of neck bones. The
giraffe, for instance, has only seven
bones in his long neck, which has a
reach Of nearly twenty feet from the
ground. That little white throated
sparrow yer there is only three inch
es high. but he has fourteen bones in
his neck and al almost scratch the
back Of bis head with his bill. The
swan has twenty-three neck bones
and swings his head about with even
greater freedom than a snake"

THE .%PLEBElANs.
Their Secession From Rome and Their
Rise to Power.

Their Secession From Rome and Their
Rise to Power.
Plebeians were the commons Of
Rome, who we're originally forbidden
all political rights. They were for the
most part poor and were not allowed
to intermarry with the patricians.
They served in the army without pay
and were sold into slavery for debt
and could even be cut into pieces for
distribution among their creditors.
Finding their condition intolerable.
the plebeians in 497 B. G. seeded to
Mons Sacer. near Rome, where they
resolved to build a new city. But this
step so alarmed the privileged classes
that they granted to the commons the
right Of annually choosing from their
own numbers two magistrates, called
tribunes, with power to protect them
against the a~ggressions Of the patri-
clans.
After the lapse Of about 200 years
the disabilities Of the plebeians were
almost entirely removed, and between
the years $4,000 B. @. they secured
the dictatorship, the censorship and
the p%raetorship as well as the right to
be pontif and augur. Thus the Ro'
nan republic. after two centuries OF
existence, finally secured a democratic
form Of government. = New York
