of this kind. from this view, which is
based upon actual observations «of
cases, do not indicate anything more |
than an abnormal physical condition
in the formation of the wrist veins.
“I have met with one case which wis
possibly a little extraordinary in that
it was plainer and much more distin!
than any | had ever seen before. It
could almost be heard. The artery
would rise to a point almost as large
as the ball of the little finger of n
child and would change from the
white of the skin to a blood purple
with each beat of the pulse. 1 found it
easy to count the pulse beats without
touching the patient's wrist. 1 could
see plainly enough to keep the record.
and in order not to err in my calcula:
tion 1 tested it in several ways and
found it was correct and thar there
was no mistake in my counting with
the naked eye.”
His Nerve and His Drawing Combined
Made the Editor Meek.
The editor had given the artist anu
order to illustrate the story and had
drawn a rough diagram of the kind of
sketch he wanted. It must show a
deer vaulting in a high leap over n
clump of bushes. The artist read the
manuscript, made the picture and sent
it in. (t was well done. ‘The deer was
a magnificent fellow, with a pair of
antlers that ‘he most ambitious buck
might well iw proud of. The editor
took one took ut the drawing and then
in disgust returned it to the artist,
with a letter stating that the figure
must be redrawn because “the story
plainly states that the buck was a
yearling, consequently he would have
had only spike horns and not the kind
of antlers you have depicted.”
The artist was not, however, dis
mayed. He stood pat for antlers, With
courage born of immovable conviction
he returned the drawing unaltered to
the editor and wired him: “Compusi-
tion demands antlers. Change manu. |
script to ‘three-year-old buck."* 1
The editor was struck so dumb b; |
this manifestation of uerve that he 1
actually took time to study the draw
ing. He ler hix imagination pletars |
the spike buck iustend of the majestic |
autlered beauty and meekly decided
that the artst knew a thing or two, |
so the editorial blue pencil was,

The Laborer's Thanks.
A tram car was going down a busy
street one day and was already com-
laboring man much the worse for lig-
uor, who presently staggered along the
czr between two rows of well dressed
people regardless of polished shoes
and tender feet. 3
Murmurs and complaints arose on all
sides, and demands were heard that
But amid the storm of abuse one

He attacked the confection with a

“I have another in the pantry, dear.
Your mother sent one over yesterday.”
She then produced the second pie,

patronizingly. "Of course you couldn't

The Hip Joints.
The cup and ball socket and the air
tight valve were first used in the hu-
man body. If our hip joints and arms
were not provided with air tight sock-
ets we should get too tired to continue
our work for any length of time in
just holding these limbs togetier by
muscles. [It Is the pressure of the air
which holds them in place, and thus
all physical effort is avoided. In the
various air tight joints and sockets
found in the human body one may find
nearly all the mechanical principles in-
volved in the air brake or the use of
compressed air for a thousand differ.
ent things Some may aver that na-
ture did not discover ball bearings. a
mechanical device which has revolu:
tionized the vehicular world. But the |
principle is almost developed in the
bail of the leg bone and the socket of
the hip. which are made so smooth
and are so well oiled that they slide
backward and forward with practical-
ly no friction.
Marrying For Votes.
Marrying for votes was a device of
old time British election agents. As
the law stood before the reform uct
of 1832 widows of freemen on marry-
ing again made their second husbands
freemen and therefore voters. At
election times widows were couse-
quently paid handsomely to go through
a formal marriage with a voteless
bachelor, who, for a consideration,
similarly agreed to support the cand!
date. The pair were married, the man |
voted according to Instructions, and
then he and his wife, standing on
either side of a tombstone, said,
“Death us do part.” With this literal
fulfillment of the matrimonial vow
they regarded their marriage dissolv-
ed. At the last election in Bristol be-
fore 1832 a hundred women gave votea
to men.

The French Hern.
The French horn. or cor de chasse, is
regarded by some musicians as the
sweetest and mellowest of all the wind
instruments. In Beethoven's time it
was little else than the old hunting
horn, which for the convenience of the
mounted hunter was arranged in spiral
convolutions to be slipped over the
head and carried resting on one shoul
der and under the opposite arm. The
Germans stiil call it the waldhori—
that is, “forest Lorn.”

sexes.

The Practical Method Adopted by a!
French Scientist. !
At the beginning of the nineteenth
century the French Academy of Sci- |
ences offered to give a prize to the
first person who would solve the fui
lowing problem: If you tuke a vase |
full of water and put a stone or an:
similar body in it the water will flow
over. If, however, you put into it =n
fish, the volume of which is equal to |
that of the stone, it will aot flow over |
Explain this phenomenon. i
Learned essays on the subject pour- |
ed in frow all quarters, but the prov
lem was not satisfactorily solved in|
any of them, and consequently the |
was vot awarded. i
In the following year the same ques- |
tion was again propounded, and for |
five years answers continued to pour |
in to the academy. Then it sudden:y |
occurred to one of the academicians |
that, after all, the problem might oe |

Weeping Animals.
Travelers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst. A
mule has been seeu to cry from the
pain of an mjured foot, and camels, it
is said. shed tears in streams. A COW
it from calftiond, wept pitifully. A
Wounded apes have died crying, and |
slain by hunters. A chimpanzee train-
ed to carry water jugs broke one and
cried. which proved sorrow, though it
wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, discov-
ering their young drowned, have been
moved to tears of grief. A giraffe
begun to cry when approached. Sea
lions often veep over the loss of their
young. Gordon Cumming observed
tears trickling down the face of a dy-
ing elephant. Aud even an orang ou-
tang when deprived of its mango was
s0 vexed that it took to weeping.
There is littie doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance.—Harpet's

THE MISSION
OF THE
PLA-MATE SHOE
———
Is to make a nation of men and women
to whom walking will be a pleasure
and with whom perfect feet will be the
rule rather than the exception.
Could parents be brought to realize
the importance of starting the child's
foot right, there would be little or no
Sufiering in later life from foot blem-
ishes.
As nature forms the child's foot,
each toe lies flat and straight thus pro-
viding the human foot with the power
to balance the body, the spring to
make walking easy.
Unfortunately few children reach
maturity without cramped, pinched
and misshapen feet. This is usually
caused by shoes sold by unscientific
shoemen to thoughtless parents.
The Pla-Mate Shoe is designated by
students of the human foot to allow
the bones and muscles to grow in
the shape that nature intended.
