HIS WIFE'S TRIUMPH.

A Msmsnte That Was inspiring to
John Richard Green.
It has been the fate Of many men of
letters to have III health bearing them

cent times were Stevenson. Richard
Je6fies and J. r. Green. Each Of
these. It happened. had q high hearted
wife to keep him up. even to help him
with the actual labor of writing. The
Life and Letters Of J. r. Green" show
forth q great and sweet man. They
show. too. . wife whose sympathy and
fortitude helped to make his accom-
pljshment possible.
In copying the vast amount Of manu-
script Of her husbands books Mrs.
Green contracted writer's eramp and
was forced to stop using her right
hand. This looked like q 6nal obsta-

with her left hand.
One Of her first practice pages, which
she was about to destroy with the rest,
her husband took, quietly and put In
his pocket. Years afterward when Ill

paper. q living record Of his wife's tri-

the painful. patient strokes by which
Mrs. Green had learned to write with
her left hand he could work on with
something near to inspiration.

How lona Your Nails Grow.

The growth Of an average finger nail
Is about one thirty-secOnd Of an inch
q week. or nearly one and one-half
inches in q year. SO those aristOcratic
Chinese who proudly exhibit nails six
to eight inches In length must have
RETAINED from cutting them at least
four to six years. Finger nails grow
faster in the summer than In winter.
The nail on the middle finger grows
faster than any Of the others. and that
Of the thumb Is slowest In growth.
The nails Of the right hand grow fast
er than those Of the left. A nail Is
supposed to reach its full growth In
about four and q half months. and at
this rate q man seventy years old
would have renewed his nails 2G2
times. On each finger he would have
grown nine feet Of nail. or on all his
fingers and thumbs no less than ninety
feet Of nail.-St. Louis Republic.

HELPING A SCULPTOR.


The Favor Falsuiers Did For Young
Maemonnies.
When Macmonnies, the American
sculptor. was a young man wOrking In
Paris Falguiere. the famous French
sculptor, on one occasion entered his
atelier and found there a beautiful
Diana that had been for months ION
the stocks" and was approaching a
perfection measurably satisfactory to
the sculptor himself.
Falguiere became so absorbed In the
work before him as to forget that It
was not his own. He began to twist
and pull the dainty limbs Of Diana this
way and that. to punch her in the ribs,
turn her queenly head-for she was
then only in clay. of course, and sus-
ceptible to impresslons-uDtil at last
he had produced the very pose he de-
sired. There. my friend: like her
better So" he cried. and skipped out
Of the studio.
He had really intended to do Mac
monies a favor and had indeed paid
him the greatest compliment Of which
he was capable. but the young sculp-
tor was in distress. for on comparing
the remodeled Diana with q photo
graph Of Falguiere's statue Of the
same character he found the French
man had unconsciously made q prac-
teal replica Of the other. Macmon-
MES did not rest until he had restored
his statue to its original pose.

sQUARlNe THE CIRCLE.

A. Ancient Problem That Has Turned
Many Brains Dizzy.
The Oldest Of problems IL that Of
squaring the circle-L e., Of telling the
precise length Of the side Of square
whose area will equal the area Of q
given circle.
The first attempt We know Of was
made 500 years before the exodus Of
the Jews. Since at least 1900 B. C.
Chinese brains have turned dizzy over
It. The Oldest mathematical book In
the world-written about 1000 B. c..
by Ahmes. scribe to an Egyptian king.
and now resting in the British mu-
seum-pretends to solve 1t. but It
doesn't. Our old friend Euclid pru-
IDENTIFY avoids the subject.
Books have been written to prove
that It Is impossible. others to prove
the impossibility Of proving its i'm
possibility. others again to prove the
inpossibility Of proving its possibility.
One scientist. q professor Of Zurich.
adopted some fifty years ago q rather
original method Of tackling the prob
lem. He divided the door Of q great
loft into thousands Of small squares
and spent his days In solemnly throw
ing needles about and noting the num-
Der Of times they fell clear Of the
chalk lines. but It did not help him
much.
The important ratio which would set
tie the question has been carried to
500 places Of decimals. And still It Is
not exact. II you have a taste for
sums you can start and carry 1t to COO
and see what happens.
At any rate. you will soon find your
hair getting grayer.-London Answers.

The Crippled Old Dsspot Was Made to
FEEL His Mighty Fall.
The following amusing story is told
by J. L. Kipling In his MAN and Beast
In India" of the humiliation of q mon
key whom physical disablement pre-
vented from maintaining his despOtic
position as leading male Of the troop:
Zone morning there came a monkey
chieftain, weak and limping. having
evidently been wOrsted In q severe
fight with another Of his own kind.
One hand hung powerless. his face
and eyes bore terrible traces Of bat
tie, and he hirpled slowly along with
q pathetic air Of suffering, supporting
himself on the shoulder Of female
q wife. the only member Of his clan
that had remained faithful to him aft
er his defeat.
I'VE threw them bread and raisins,
and the wounded warrior carefully
slowed the greater part away in his
cheek pouch. The faithful wife. see
ing her opportunity, holding fast his
one sound hand and opening his
mouth. deity scooped out the store Of
raisins. Then she sat and ate them
very calmly Mt a safe distance. while
he moved and Chartered in impotent
rage.
He knew that without her help he
could not reach home and was fain to
wait with what patience he might till
the raisins were finished. This was
probably her first chance Of disObedi-
ence or Of self assertion In her whole
life, and I am afraid she thoroughly
enjoyed It,"
