The Epiqlottis.

A modern engine is dependent to q
large extent upon automatically work
ing valves for its efficiency, but the
perfected valve was invented by ma
ture and applied to the human body
long before mankind began to dream
Of steam or gas engines. We dignity
this valve by the name of epiglottis,
and most Of us know something about
It. 1t is situated at the back Of the
mouth just where the air passage and
food passage cross. 1t is the function
Of the epiglottis to close the windpipe
automatically every time we swallow
food. If 1t did not every particle of
food would choke us. This valve works
with more automatic precision than
any ever placed on an engine.

TIE Chinese BURGLAR.

"The Chinese burglar Is the most
difficult to nab" declared Lecoq, the
detective. 81 might say he is impossible
to nab. When this yellow scoundrel
goes burgling he goes naked and COW
cred with oil, and thus he is as slip
perry as an eel. But, you say. why not
nab him by the pigtail, hey? The an
swer to that is that his pigtail is done
up in knot on top Of his head and
stuck full Of needles and hatpins with
the points turned outward. You often
see Chinaman in Picking or Shanghai
with his clothes stained with OIL and
tiny red pricks all over him. He's

"Dad," Welsh Term of Affection.

A correspondent of the Christian Her
aid, the Rev. John X. Nutting, writes:
81 am convinced that the custom Of
using dad or daddy as a substitute
for papa or father has not arisen from
any other motive than sincere affec-
ton. Dad sometimes tad or thadO
is a word for father in Welsh, and is
used as such in the Lords Prayer In
the Welsh New Testament. Doubtless
dad or daddy has come to us through
the interLlarriage OF Welsh and Eng
fish. So considered it is really an affec-
tionate enrichment of our language"

History Of Anatomy.

The way In which we are so "fear-
fully and wonderfully made" was
largely a mystery to the ancients. 1t
may be said that anatomical science
was practically unknown prior to Arts
totle, 9S4 b. G. Before that date near
ly all that was known of anatomy was
derived from the dissection Of the low
er animals. Aristotle did something
In the way Of science but 1t was not
until the time Of the famous Alexan-
drian school, a century before and a
century after the birth of Christ, that
the anatomy Of man began to DO fairly
understood. The Ptolemies were great
patrons Of science and were the nrst
who enabled physicians freely b dis
