is not until the fourteenth year
that the small fob pocket of the
waistcoat. and the watch pocket
of the trousers are developed.
The appearance of the pistol
pocket and the two coat-tail
pockets is usually synchronous
with the cutting of the wisdom
teeth. When they have reached
maturity the normal develop
ment of the pockets ceases-for
the comparative recent dicovery
of isolated specimens of men
with pockets in the sleeves of
their overcoats, apparently de-
signed for slowing away female
hands, does not as yet warrent
any change in the scientific class
ification and description of
human pockets.-Life.

Brief Holiday.

Joy is like a bird in flight,
which dips in its passing and
touches US with it's wings. 1t
comes from out of a far country
and it tracks its way on high.
After that brief lowering it will
recover its former attitude, its
speed, and song. It's throbbing
heart passes high over our throb-
bling cities and frozen hills. AS
we watch that flight of untram-
meled wing we wish that some
how we might capture that
blitheness and teach it to dwell
among men. Why should it
pause but never abide? We
wovld have that joy abide so
fixedIy that it would become q
peace. The holiday season is
like that. 1t stoops for a little
out of space, draws near our
dim earth, and sheds its bright
ness among men. AS swiftly as
it cane, so swiftly it goes again.
And yet each year 1t draws more
close and stays for a longer time;
its radiance is revealed to US
mere clearly, full of grace and
truth.-Collier's Weekly.

Pockets.

Nan is marsupial, and herein
he is broadly distinguished from
woman. Nature has provided
man with pockets in his trousers,
his waistcoat and his coat. The
number is not always the same,
some men having in the sggre-
gate twelve distinct pockets,
great and small, while others
have only eight or nine; but a
man totally without pockets
would be lusus nature. 1t is re-
markable that pockets are not
congenial, but are slowly devel-
oped during childhood and youth.
The trousers pockets which are
earliest developed, seldom make
their appearance before the fifth
year, and one of these usually
comes to maturity ten or twelve
months before its fellows.
About the eight year a male
child develops two and some
times three coat pockets, and
two years later the lower waist
coat pockets appear. Nature
then pauses in her work, and it

Rest for Beauty.

1t has been said by a great
beauty that the modern woman
places too much faith in open air
exercises under all kinds of wea-
ther conditions for the mainten-
ance of her good looks.
This beauty is an advocate for
rest, and declares that every
time a woman wearies herself
playing open game, she adds five
years to her age, and makes an
overdraft on the bank of beauty.
So long as she exercises sufficien-
fly to keep herself from gaining
undue weight, and becoming
dull-eyed, she may be quite salts
fed that all is we'll.
A lesson should be learned
from the spring flowers that gain
so much of the r beauty from the
showers, for the complexion
needs plenty of moisture. To
secure moisture employ steaming
process, and lave the face in
rosewater or plain distilled wat
er, and use plenty of good cold
cream.
A favorite cosmetic of this
beautiful woman is pure almond
oil, and the cold creams that she
employs contain a large amount
of the same precious urgent.

P. T. Barnum launched his ca
reer in the show business by ex-
hibiting remarkable negro wo-
man, believed to be one hundred
and sixty years old and said to
have been a nurse to George
Washington. An old bill of sale
was exhibited, properly dated,
concerning Joyce Heth, then
aged fifty-four years, and evil
dence was also furnished that
she was nurse to George Wash
ingtOn. Everything seemed so
straightforward to the young
man that he was eager to become
the proprietor of this novel ex-
hibition, which he purchased for
$1,000, $500 of which he paid
down, selling out his interest in
the grocery business, and the
other $500 he borrowed. He
saw that the thing to do was to
make people talk and become Gu
rious and excited over rare spec
tacles. Regardless of expenses,
he advertised in New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, and the
halls were thronged until Joyce
Heth died.-National Magazine.

Girl That Is Popular.

The most popular girl in the

who eEeells in games and out
