monarchs Well Protected.

Though the days have gone by when
the monarch was protected during the
hours Of slumber by an attendant
sleeping in bed drawn across the
door Of his chamber, King George is
by no means left unprotected during
the night. Not only is the outside OF
the palace guarded by soldiers and
detectives, but several night watch
men pace up and down the corridors
through the hours of darkness. They
are shod in thick felt slippers, so as
not to wake the royal sleeper, and
one of them is always near the kings
room till his majesty is called by his
valet in the morning.
Every door and window in the place
is frequently examined and 1t would
be impossible for any intruder to get
in without his presence being discoy-
cred in a few minutes. Thus the king
is as well protected as the car Of Rus

EAR NEVER STOPS GROWING
The Only Portion Of the Human Anat-
omy. According to Physicians,
Which Does This.

Persons who have large ears in
their youthful days are decidedly un-
lucky. according to students of anat-
omy. for no other portion of the HUI
man body is SO ambitious In it's
growth. We get old and shrivel up
and decrease in stature. but the ear
stlll grows.
a woman with small ears at twenty
probably will have medium-sized ears
at forty and large ears at sixty.
Again. IL Is said, as the result OF the
examination of 10000 pairs. of ears.
that probably no person in the world
has ears perfectly matched. In most
people the two ears differ perceptibly.
not only in shape. but In size Ere
quently they are not placed on the
head ut exactly the same angle or at
the same height.
1t Is declared by those who have de-
voted their time and abilities to the
study OF ears that the age of per
son can be judged by them with great
accuracy by an expert.
After the age OF ten. ears assume an
increased form and give the clue to
the age OF the owner. Nordau, LON
broso and others lay great stress upon
the ear as an indication Of character:
yet some OF the best men we meet
have outrageous ears, whilo almost
everybody can recall some bold, bad
man OF his acquaintance who has
small, well formed and well placed
ears
