MAN IS GROWING HANpSoMER

Tho announcement in the cur rent number of a medical maga- zine of high lrpute that the Amer jean is handsnmer and better housed and fed and clothed than ever man was before, comes time fly to meet a pressing need of the day. Within comparatively short time no fewer than five col leges in this country have pre- sented claimants to the honor of being perfect woman, measur- ed by he accepted model of the Venus of Milo, but not one has put forth a man claiming to ap- proach the Apollo BelveG"re.
 The injustice is not confined to colleges. Magazines have done worse. The rOmancers that write their advertising, the realiSts that furnish their stories, and the art ists that illustrate the ideas of lack of both, show like tendency to depict man either as a pigmN beside some daughter of the gods divineIy tall or else as a dummy on which to exhibit new styles of clothing.

petuated in the words to burne, burk.

being enriched by the phrases to

USE SNAKES TO KILL SNAKES
South America Has Discovered an

they are now using snakes to catch
snakes.

Brazil over 1000 persons are killed

mother of invention, and nature and
science together have at last discov.
cred something which it is hoped may
eventually eXterminate the dreadful
pest
The discovery is nothing else than a
"beneficient" snake which is harmless
to man, and which kills and eats the
poisonous species.
The mussurana, as it is called. is
a thick, muscular snake about four
feet long. 1t is possessed of an in.
satiable appetite for poisonous vipers,

This is just what the other wants;
for, being rendered by nature com
pletely immune from the poison, it
seizes its enemy before it has had
time to recover from the charge, and
gives fatal bite at the base OF the
brain.

PREDICTS A T0oTHLESS AGE
British Doctor Gives Out Opinion
That Soft Foods Are Working
Havoc With the Race.

What our dentists have from time to
! time been saying has been at last TAX
| en- up by a London doctor, namely,
that our teeth are less solidly set in
the jaws than they should be for the
reason that civilization encourages us
to eat soft foods. Biting is becoming
a lost art" says this British doctor.
"The surest way to save your teeth
from extinction is to bite hard sub
stances Growing young people of to-
day should be given diet of hard bis
cults and chop bones" He points out
that the jaws of today are narrower
than those of our ancestors-and this
applies to America as well as to Brit
ain-and that unless some changes are
made in our mode of life evolution will
breed a race that will be practically
toothless. He gives as the reason for
the narrowing of the jaws and that
they are less powerful that they are
not sufficiently exercised; that we do
not use our teeth to crunch hard foods
as did the early Britishers. He notes
that wisdom teeth, owing to the gen
eral narrowness of the jaws, are cut
at all manner of times, and tells of a
man of fifty-two who had just cut a
wisdom tooth owing to the removal of
other molars which at last allowed it
to show itself above the gum.

Dyaks, natives of Borneo, are ex

deed, do the Dyaks consider the de
ceiving of others by an untruth that
such is handed down to posterity by
a curious custom. They heap up a
pile of branches of trees in memory
of the man who has uttered a great
lie, so that the future generations
may know of his wickedness and take
warning from it.

Every passerby contributes to it and

tugong bula they may pass sacred
duty, the omission of which will meet
with supernatural punishment.

Great Soldiers Mistake.

When General Moreau was in Eng
land he was once the victim of a
rather droll misunderstanding. He
was present at a concert where a
piece was sung by the choir with the
refrain:
Tomorrow, tomorrow"
Having very imperfect knowledge
of English, he fancied it to be a can
tata given in his honor, and thought
he distinguished the words:
ITO Moreau, to Moreau."
Each time the refrain was repeated
he rose to his feet and gracefully
bowed on all sides, to the great aston
ishment of the audience, who did not
know what to make of it.

Morose Bearing.

A pleasing manner is an important
essential to success in any business. A
gentle, courteous manner will win rec
ognition anywhere. So much depends
upon first impressions, and these are
favorable or unfavorable according to
whether a man is polite and courteous
or brusque and nervous in bear
ing.
We cannot always judge a man by
what he says or does, but the way in
which he says or does a certain
thing will prove the best index to his
character.
A pleasant, courteous bearing will
help a man to success in business,
where a boorish, impatient manner
will turn away customers. The
