lfn nny one ever complimented you
on the bounty of your upper ryo or In
qulred after your nl'N? For. thouuh
you nnty not know it, yon number
these iniiong the disused features of
your body.
In the center of your brain, looking
ViiRiiely skywnrd. lie the ntrophletl re
Uinina of n third eye, which. It la' sup
posed, wns nctunlly one of imin'i use
ful fenturea Ht some previous Htnte of
development. It is known n the pinenl
phind, though covered by skin, mid la
formed in iin nlinoHt perfect condition
In certnin llznrda.
You hnve four gills, or bronchlnl
clefts, which, however, nro now closed
tip nnd useless. You originally hud
nix, but two of them, by forming Into
your enr nnd mouth, respectively,
turned themselves to some ncconnt.
However, before your lungs develoied
nnd beenme fitted to carry on your
breathing system, the work wna done,
by the four gills which linve since
childhood censed to develop nnd bo
come closed up.
Your ears thnt Is, the outer onea
nre quite useless anve na ornnmenta.
You could lienr Just ns well without
them. All the work of henrlng la dono
by the middle car, or tympanum, nnd
the Internal ear. The outer feature la
purely a plensant Bort of finishing
tonch to your henring system. The
muscles of the outer ear nre powerless
nnd not under our .control.
Arc you nwnre that you hnve n mini
ature grimd piano In your nuditory
nerve, which is tuned up to every note
in music? This is known na c'ortl'a
orgnn nnd consists of a series of tiny
hairs which vibrate on the drum of
your enr nnd ennble you to distinguish
the differences of sounds.
As sometimes when you strike a note
on the plnno some ornnment in tho
room will bo found to sing with It, so
ench of these hnlrs inside your enr vi
brates in sympathy with the musical
sound corresponding with it.
An nppendix is generally a useful
thing when npplied to bonka, but ninn'a
appendix is not only useless, but very
troublesome. This is the remains of
1 nn intestine supposed to linvc formed
part of our ancestors. Though many
other parts of the body nro practically
useless, they nre supposed to hnve
boon useful nt some time, but scien
tists cannot trace thnt tho vermiform
nppendix was over of any service to
man.
Toe nnlla nre entirely useless, nnd
toes are quite superfluous. A man
could get along ns well without toes.
In fact, n doctor removed eight of a
man's toes without nny Inconvenience
being auITered, nnd the loser pot along
quite na well without them.
The teeth nre rapidly becoming quite
useless. Now that nearly all our food
Is chopped up for tis end we do not
hnve to bite through hard Bubstauces
teeth nre gradually decaying.
The fnct that the teeth of our an
cestors 400 or 500 years ago wero In
finitely bigger. than our own showa
thnt nnture is grndunlly taking awny
these organs.
Tonsils, too, nre almost useless nnd
fulfill no serviceable object to tho body.
Teople can get along quite well with
out them, and a' very largo proportion
of the population have lind them re
moved. Both the hnlr and tho skin hnve end
ed tbelr days of usefulness to the hu
man rnce. The hnlr wna Intended to
cover our bends from the heat of the
sun. We cover up the hair, and by
shutting it off from the exposure which
nature intended It to hnve we nre
grndunlly but surely losing this adorn
ment, nnd it is estimated that In time
. we shall cease to grow it
As to the skin, It was given til to
protect our bodies from the elements.
By covering it up with clothing nnd
preventing it getting proper respira
tion we deprive ourselves of Ha use.
It is not inconceivable that the man of
ft very remote future period nay be
not only hairless and toothless, but
skinless as well.
The most extraordinary thing to be
noted about all this is that those parts
of the body which are usolesa give us
the most trouble, while those in con
stant activity remain quiescent The
teeth, through lack of work, get lazy,
. as it were, and decay.
The tonsils, having nothing to do,
muke your life a misery to you through
continually swelling until they nre re
moved. The skin, which la useless to
civilized man, baa a lurge variety of
diseases to vent on us, lurgely due to
Its compressed condition.
Tho vermiform appendix, which la
absolutely useless, hua a nice little Cls
ense of Us own, which it develops with
often fatal results, known ub appendi
citis. A man can live without his frontal
bone. At a recent accident a workman
waa struck by a crowbar. The only
possibility of saving his life was by
Excising the frontal bone. The result
was that the man survived, without se
rious injury, though he waa conacioua
of some mental defect
It Is quite possible that an artist
writer or musician would find the ef
fect of the removal to deprive him of
the particular faculty for producing
bis work, but otherwise Lis brain
would be unaffected for its ordinary
, functions.

SCOTCH NAMES.
the Reason The? Abound Anions; the
Creek unit C herokee Indian,
The prevalence of Scotch names with
the Creek nnd Cherokee Indians hna nt
Various times been the source of some
comment. Although other nut ions,
nnd, in fact, nearly every nntion, la
represented by the names borne by
these people, these Hcolcll names nre
far more numerous ami have stiMoied
less change thnn those acquired from
nny other nntion. The mimes of some
of these Scotch Indians nre closely al
lied with the history of these two na
tions for the pnst WO years, mil for
several generations such nnmes as Mc
intosh, MeKellop, McCombs, Adlr,
McQueen nnd MctJIlllvnry nre register
ed on nearly all the treaties tind olil-i-inl
papers of moment to eiiiier na
tion. Men bearing these ilium s today
are among the foremost of the pro
gressive Indiana.
As wna stnted, the origin of these
Scotch nnmes dntea back over
years. At that time the Creek and
Cherokee Indiana more especially bent
their efforts toward building up a na
tion of physically perfect men. Tho
women were encouraged to mate only
with the strong, robust men of the
tribe, nnd If a wenk man withstood the
taunts nnd glbea of his fellows nnd re
mained there wna little chance of his
securing n wife. In thnt wny the life
of these people wns nlmost Spartan.
While this sentiment wns nt Its
height nud the tribes were living in
Georgia, some lime before the devolu
tion, a regiment of Scotch highbinders
waa quartered In the vicinity of one
of the princlpnl villages of the nations.
The Indian maidens looked with favor
on the burly men of. the north of Scot
land, nnd a number of marriages wns
the result. When the regiment wna or
dered back to F-iiirlnii 1 or to some oth
er .quarter of tho globe there wero
some of these Scotchmen who stayed
behind, nnd their names have thus
been fixed In the annals of the Creek
nntion. It Is through the Creeks thnt
the Cherokees acquired their Scotch
names. Okmulgee News.
A TRYING MEAL.
The Fine Flavor of the J mo fame
From n Movlna Source.
In Mr. Julian Hawthorne's "Haw
thorne and His Circle" Is the story of
an experience which will doubtless lie
appreciated by many housekeeper
who have sulTered similar agony. If not
from precisely the same cause.
One night during Mr. Hawthorne's
term as consul nt Liverpool his friend,
Mr. Henry Bright, the water color
nrtlst, enme to an Informal supper, and
Mrs. Hawthorne, In honor of her guest,
placed upon the table a Jar of especial
ly tine raspberry Jnm.
Mr. Bright tasted the Jam nnd at
once beenme enthusiastic. He had
never euten nny so delicious, he de
clared. There waa a peculiar tnng
nbout it which aurpnssed his recollec
tions of nny Jam be had ever tasted
from boyhood up. He wns still In the
midst of his rhapsodies and still con
suming their subject with enthusiasm
when Mrs. Hawthorne, who had taken
a little of the Jam upon her own plate,
mado a ghastly discovery. The cover
of the Jam pot had evidently got ajar
In the closet, nnd an Innumerable army
of almost microscopic ants had discov
ered the treasure and plunged eagerly
Into it
What color the Invading enemy may
have been before they beenmo incor
porated with the Jnm nobody knew. At
the time of tho discovery they could
bo distinguished only by their strug
gles with the pervasive stickiness, nnd
only then by the keenest eyes, and the
eyes of Henry Bright were among the
most nearsighted in England. '
What was to be done? Mr. and Mrs.
Hawthorne stealthily exchanged "one
awful look," and the question was set
tled. It was too late to recall the ants
devoured by thousands; It was clearly
one of the cases where ignorance was
bliss. Mr. Bright accompanied his
meal with a "continual psalm" in
praise of the exquisite flavor of the
raspberry Jam, and never to the day
of IiIb death did he discover the awful
secret of that flavor.
A Delicate Refusal.
Levassor, the well known French
comic singer, once took part In a char
ity concert In Taris and nfter the per
formance was Invited by the promoters
to supper along with the rest of the
performers. When all were seated at
table Levassor found under his napkin
an Easter egg out of which five pieces
of gold dropped on its being broken.
"Ah, I perceive you have got to
know that I am fond of boiled eggs,"
the comedian gayly remarked to his
entertulner, "but you are probably not
aware that I only eat the white and
must therefore ask you to give the
yolk to the poor."

Cnmitn Plnnts.
Several different countries America,
Asia Minor, Tartary, Madagascar nnd
Australia have shrubs and flowers
which nre, locally nt least, known as
"compass plants." The compass plant
of the l.'nited States is the common
rosin weed of our western prairies,
which has the long leaves near tho
ground set In n vertical position in
such a way as to always present tho
edges to the north and south. This pe
culiar propensity of the rosin weed Is
attributed to the fnct that both the up
per and lower surfaces of tho leaves
demand an equal share of light, some
thing which can be said of but few
known plants, the upper surfaces usu
ally being much more sensitive to both
light nnd bent thnn the lower. This de
mand for a share of Old Sol's attention
causes the leaves to stand In the man
ner mentioned nbnve.
Animals Thnt Lay F.ffErs.
There nre two nnlnials In Australia
that lay eggs after the manner of birds
and reptiles. They nre those quaint
creatures the ornlthnrhynclms. or
duck billed platypus, and tho echidna,
or porcupine ant enter. The former
lays Its eggs In burrows, which It
scratches out on the banks of rivers.
The latter carries them until hatched
in n pouch somewhat like the kanga
roo's. In many respects these nnlnials hnvo
nn nimtomieiil atllnity to reptiles, but
their mouths arc toothless and beak
like, resembling those of birds, whllo
the feet of the platypus are webbed.
Tho platypus Is a Hcmliiquatlc animal,
and tho porcupine ant eater is much

Demi Men's Teeth.
Before artificial teeth were crented
deficiencies hail to be made good by
the real article, so body anatcbers rav
aged the cemeteries lit night, breaking
up the Jaws of the dead to extract
their teeth to sell to dentists for Inser
tion in live men's mouths. An army of
these ghouls followed Wellington's ar
my. They were licensed as sutlers, but
once night fell out came their nippers,
nnd they prowled over tho battlefield
extracting the teeth of the dead or
dying.

A DELIBERATE MAN.
At Ilia Fall Dinner and CnnarM

Charles Stuart, on! time senator from
Michigan, waa traveling' by stage
through his own slnte. The weather
wna bitterly cold, the snow deep, the
roads practically unbroken. The stage
was nearly one hour late nt the dinner
stnt Ion, everybody was more or less j
cross nnd in a hurry mid the situation
Uncomfortable to the Inst degree.
Sen n tor Stuart sat down to his din
ner with his usual deliberation, not
withstanding the word that wr.s pass

freshments." When be had finished his f rst cup of
coffee the passengers were leaving the
table. By the time the second cup ar
rived tho stnge wns nt the door. "All
aboard!" shouted the driver. The sen
ator lingered nnd called for a third cup
of coffee. The crowd laughed nnd
flung back chaff nt the deliberate man
nt the table.
While the household, ns waa the cus
tom, assembled at tho door to see the
stnge drive away, the senator contin
ued calmly drinking his colTee. Sud
denly, Just ns the stnge stnrted. there
wns a violent pounding on the dining
room table, nnd the lnndlord hurried
In, to find thnt the senator wanted a
dish of rice pudding. When It ennio
he called for n spoon, but there wasn't
a spoon to be found.
"That shock headed fellow took 'em;
I thought he wna a crook 1" exclaimed
the landlady.
The lnndlord Jumped at the aniue
conclusion.
"Hustle nfter that stnge; bring 'cm
nil back!" he shouted to the sheriff,
who waa untying his horse from tho
rail In front of tho tavern.
A few mnnutes Inter the stnge. In
charge of the sheriff, swung around in

"Search them pnssengers!" yelled the

But before the officer could move the
senator opened the staee door, stepped
inside, then leaned out. touched the

THE AMERICAN HUSBAND.
t Rtudr of Ills Traits From aa Eaa"
lUh Point of View.
An American young man does not at
a rule look forward to marriage nor
prepare for It by saving any consider
able portion of bis antenuptial Income.
When he marries It Is usually on abort
notice nnd because be tins fallen very
desperately in love with some one and
cannot find It in bis heart to wnlt until
cold caution declnres the venture ad
visable. Even when nn engagement
la a long one he usually squanders ao
much on gifts nnd entertalumenta for
bis fiancee that there la only a very
moderate amount to begin housekeep
ing on. Thus before bis iiuirr!uge the
young American of ti e middle clasa
begins to give evidence ii, v.. ,t Is to
be his chief national characii , sllc aa
a husband his unfailing, nn. i ...mIi and
almost Improvident geneiosii.v.
The middle class hii.iband In America
rarely Interferes with the nffnlrs of the
household. He hardly knows the cost
of staple articles of food. As a rule be
does not make his wife a regular al
lowance either for household or per
sonal expenses, but gives her us much
as he can spare, freely, but with a hick
of system that Is not conducive to the
best outlay of their Income.
The young American husband Is also
very Indulgent to Ills wife's fondness
for fine clothes. He would far rather
have nn extravagant wife than a
dowdy one, and, although he grumbles
occasionally at a millinery bill. In real,
Ity he glories In' the resplendent up
penrance of Ida wife In her fine feath
ers. Tho Amerlcnn husband la rare
who doea not concede his wife's right
to expend a much larger Bum with her
dressmaker than he doea with his

CANINE MEMORY.
The storr of a Pet Dnll Terrier That
Did Not Foratet.
A gentleman who la a great traveler
nnd who Is always accompanied In his
wanderings by a bull terrier, to which
he Is much attached, arrived one day
In the city of Florence. Ilia dog wua
for some reason Intrusted to tho care
of the porter nt tho station, and In the
excitement of the crowd nnd under the
unusual experience of being separated
from Ida master, who generally kept
the nnlmnl with him, Bruno was
moved to make his escape. The most
careful search was made, nnd before
going to bis hotel the traveler went to
the police station to notify the gen
darmes of his loss. It was more than
nn hour before he renched hla hotel.
When he got there he spoke of hla loss,
so that If anything was heard of the dog
It would be understood that the animal
belonged to htm. To his astonishment
the purler said: "But your dog la here,
sir. lie came before you, nnd we did
not know to win e.i be belonged." "The
dog Is here!" repeated the gentleman
in surprise. "How came he here?"
"He ran in, Hlr. about half an hour ago,
nnil. after HUiilHng about the olilce for
awhile, he ran upstairs. I gave orders
to have htm driven out. but the boys
have been busy, n ml he is up there
somewhere now." The traveler, of
courr.e. went upstairs at once, nnd
there on the nidt before the chamber
numbered 41 lay lliiiuo, who sprang
up with the most frantic demonstra
lions of delight r,t finding his master
again. The g"utlt'man remembered
that two yenrs prevlo-is be had been
with the dog nt Florence and lind stay
cd nt this hotel. He did not remember
that be bad occupied this particular
room, but on reference to the hotel reg.
Ister such was found to bo the fact.
Wlivu Trees c; to Sleep.
Trees nnd plants have their regular
times for goln;; to sleep. They need
to rest from the work of growing and
to repair and oil tho machinery of life.
Some plants do nil their sleeping In
the winter while the ground la frozen
nnd tli limbs nre bare of leaves. In
tropical countries where the snow nev
er falls nnd It Is always growing
weather the trees repose during the
rnlny season or dnrlng'ihe periods of
drought. They always choose the most
unfavorable working time for doing
their sleep, Just as man chooses the
night, when he cannot see to work.
Considerate,
"Ma," said Bobby in a slightly In
jured tone of voice, "there were lota
of things you let me do before the
baby came that you don't let me do
now."
"Do you think ao, Bobby?"
"Yes," asserted Bobby. "Still," he
went on with more philosophy, "I can't
expect you to be so good a mother with
two children as you were when you
only bnd one."
Worth the Moner.
"Tommy," said the economical moth
er to the boy with the loose tooth, "I'll
gtvo you 10 cents If you'll let me pull
that tooth." The boy thought It over
and then went to his bank. "The fun
of doln' that is worth more'n 10 cents,"
he said. "I'll give you 1-1 If you'll let
me pull one of yours." Chicago Font

"Why can't this bill be rushed
