this important specimen of American
insect life, the doodle. are that he is an
inscctivorous. fossorial type. varying
between the fuliginous and fuscous

question is whether he is small enough

There is saying that Mature
never does anything without n cause,
and while the functions OF the appon-
dix, the tonsils and certain other or
gans of the body may not be clear. 1T
Is certain that they were originally
placed there with some object in view
probably with respect to the life to
which primitive man was accustomed.
Eyebrows, likewise, once had n
much more important function than
they possess at the present time.
Centuries ago. man was accustomed
to manual labor much more than he
is at the present time. He had not
developed the conveniences. the COM
forts. and the labor-saving devices
which he now accepts as n matter of
course, but he was forced to work
hard for everything that he secured.

still marked by these protruding and

premature. However, the shop windows bear out the
assertion.
While walking along Fourth street today I saw

There can be but little doubt that
the word cash is derived from the
Italian "cassa,'' the chest in which
Italian merchants kept their money-in
precisely the same way in which the
Spaniards use their GAIA" the Portu-
guesc their "caSa" and the French
their "caissa-" The application of the
word cash to money, however, is
altogether English, as no correspond
ing term is to be found in any other
European language.

of "cassa" tchcsD, entries in the cash
