JTJST' now, -when, most of 'mankind Is ready to believe that "perfection has been reached in physical humanity, along comes a Belgian professor to. take, the conceit out of us and prove that .even a self-made man has a score of' flaws la bis make-up. We are, to begin with, provided with eight -surplus teeth. . If .we bad eight less we could chew our beefsteak .and sum. just a well and the chances of toothache would be largely reduced. Then there: are. four, fingers where but three are required to count our cash, button our collars or use the bucksaw and ax. It Is the same -with the toes. The third one could have been left off the foot without the slightest detri ment to man or woman,, and the saving In corn .cures would have been a pretty penny by this date. 'Nature made whlnkc-rs to grow on the faces -of at least three-fourths of the male population of the world. The Belgian professor defies any one of us to -show where whiskers beautify .or benefit, wliile he can name no less than. a dozen evils, arising from them. We have more ribs than needed by two He .proves tbls by:ount!ng the hoops on .a barret As a rule, all human noses are made on too large a scale, and the consequence Is that a iculd In the. head takes hold of .a person with xtra severity. 'The. ear. of ..a whale, the professor says. Is relatively only half the size of that of aitnan, while his bulk is more than a hundred times greater. It was -suspected that most men had too much cheek, but now we know that all mien have .too much ear. .As the -monkey bus no use; far a forehead why should It have been given to man? Had the extra space been added to his neck every man could have -worn .a .collar. a: foot high without sawing his chin. It Is further asserted by the -professor, says the Detroit Free Press, that nineteen out of twenty people squint and that ninety-nine out of every hun dred have off-colored eyes. One eye In the center of the forehead would lave answered, all demands and been a decided blue or black. . The professor has taken the -statues of -Venus, Apollo, Hercules and other famous models and with a -tworfoot rule; and a Hit .of chalk has figured out that eact has a score of Imperfections. We are none of us all right not even the professor himself -tand we-can't expect to be ior at least COO years to come.

Edifice Bnil-t Early in the Eighteenth Century Still Ktauda. By raising :an -endowment that will be used to prevent .St. George's Church, Philadelphia, .from falling to decay, wealthy memliers of ithe Meth odist Church In that city .have .made possible the preservation of a struc ture around waiuh .are .clustered .mem ories dear to the beart of every stu dent of the early .history of .Methodism In America. St. George's Church Is noted as the oldest Methodist Church In continuous use for .worship in the world. Owing to Its great age, the edifice would soon crumble away were It not for the steps .about to .be .taken for Its renovatlen. Especial .attention will be paid to the old conference room, where still stands the desk at Which sat Francis Anbury, the first Methodist bishop ordained In Ameri ca, and on which is the original Bible used by him during his term as pastor of the church. Among the relies which are carefully preserved In a fireproof .CftPSST METHODIST CHURCH. vault ;ln this room are some of the quaint iron candlesticks that lighted the .conferees nt the' first" Methodist conference, ibeld In 1773, a stove that was used .for .-fires of wood, and the original collection bag of the church, a L-rude pocket -of faded black velvet, tacked on .a -short Iron handle. The history of .the church Is a most Interesting oue. Captain Thomas Webb, un officer Jn the British asmy and a .convert of .John Wesley, first preached Methodism In Philadelphia. When he came to .the city he held meetings ,ln .various odd places, as often as not .In the opqn air. A strange chance gave him for his cathedral the old church. .Members of the Dutch Reformed Church began the building of the structure, but could not raise the money to finish lt, nd were Im prisoned for debt. The ,ihurch was sold at auction to satisfy creditors, and was bid In for a considerable sum by the half-witted sou of a wealthy citi zen.. Rather than bring shnme upon the family name the father paid for his son's purchase, and Immediately offered it for sale at a fraction of Its w:t. A member of the Methodist so ciety purchased the church, and the first sermon was preached In the edi fice nuid great rejoicing by the Meth odists. Although very commonplace In com parison with religious structures of the present .day, at the time it was built ft was one of the show buildings of tiie continent. For half a century It re mained tlie largest Methodist church In the world. In 1777 evil times came to Philadelphia. The British army oc cupied the .city and St. George's Cburch was used first as a hospital and afterward as a riding school for the cavalry. It was a cheerless struc ture at that time. The. building was not plastered till 1,784, and was fitted with galleries about 1700. PERSIAN ETIQUETTE. How to Act When Making an After noon Call in the Morn In if. In Persia the slightest transgres sion of the rigid rules of etiquette Is deemed rather worse than a crime, It is the proper thing in that country to' make au afternoon cull In the morn ing; the earlier, the better. A writer In Leisure Hour tells of oue occasion when he suggested calling In the .after noon of a certain day. The Persian gentleman on whom. he was-to call cordially assented, and said be should expect him at seven la the morning. Persian bouses are, as a rule, very AS SHOWN simply furnished. There are neither tables nor chairs,' but only cushions placed on the carpeted floor all rouud the room. Possibly your host, out of consideration for a European's inability to make himself comfortable on the floor, has provided oue solitary high bucked chair for you to sit on. He conducts you to it, and bowing. Invites you to be seated iu most courteous phraseology and with graceful waving of the hands. Etiquette, however, for bids you to seat yourself before he dues, and it also forbids the host to sit down - before his guest Is seated. Hence each politely declines to sit down before the other, and a contest of courtesy ensues, which ends at last In both host and guest seating them selves at the same moment, the guest on his host's right hand. But how about the solitary chair? Your instinct suggests that, as your host has taken the trouble to provide It for you, the most courteous thing is to take it.. But it would be a great mistake for you to do so. Etiquette forbids you to sit on a seat higher than that of your host. The most polite thing for you to do, therefore, is to thank him for bis kindness, but to say that under no circumstances could you think of sitting on . a seat elevated above his own. v You at last succeed In sitting down on the cushions by his side, and the servants, at a sign from your host, re move the chair. If you were to sit on It, they would comment most harshly on your arrogance. When ybii and your host are at length seated you bow to one another and once more ask dfter one another's health, although a few minutes ago the same tender Inquiries were made when you first entered the room, . Your host has doubtless Invited a large number of persons to meet you. You are not Introduced to those present unless they are persons of Importance, but you must, on ending your Inquiries as to your host's health, bow to every one all round the room In turn, be ginning ou your right. When the "afternoon call" has drawn to an end and the visitor rises to de part, he probably finds that his legs refuse to perform their duty, for a few minutes, as he hits been sitting cross legged, tin attitude dear to the Oriental, but by no means comfortable for a European. The host escorts the visitor to the door, and he rides away amid the low bows of n number of servants. Jiizurds in Numoa. A resident of Samoa writes In an entertaining way of the lizards little fellows about two Inches long, prettily colored in a light and a dark shade of brown. They can run up a window pane quite as easily as can the flies on which they feed: Wheal alarmed, the lizards are off HUe a flash cf light, ami will take the most reckless leaps. I have seen them land safe at the end of a twenty foot jump. Yet when cornered they have no hesi tation In snapping off the most of their tails. That was a maddening puzzle to my small cat. The sight of a nio'o any where was an immediate challenge to the kitten. She would Immediately start on the hunt, for the most part a fruitless chase, for the little lizard could skulk off faster than two eats could pursue. Yet when the kitten did succeed In landing on the lizard there followed a scene of bewilderment. The nio'o invariably snapped off its tall, which was left wriggling In one part of the veranda, while the lizard ran off a short distance and awaited devel6p ments. The kitten never knew' whether to catch the lizard ..orj the tail. If the nio'o moved, the kitten went for it; but she always stopped short to keep an eve .on the wriggles of the tnti . soon as she tunied back to take' care of the tall, the mo o got in motion and had to be looked after. Hundreds of times I have watched the dilemniu, and .the ending was, always the same the lizard got away and the kitten had to be content with the bony tall. But, there were lots of lizards a.bout my bouse; sproutlng'new' tails; ' Some men travel In' a Zigzag course because saloons are more numerous than churches. CHANGE OF LIFE; jviuv svuuie auvlbC III women passing through this ' trying period. I The painful and annoying ejrmp toms experienced by most women at this period of life are easily over come by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It is espe cially designed to meet the needs of woman's system at the trying time of change of life. It is no exaggeration to state that Mrs. Pinkham has over 5000 letters like the following proving the great value of her medicine at such times. " I wish to thank Mrs. Pinkham for what her medicine has done for me. My trouble was change of life. Four Tears ago my health began to fail, my head began to grow. dizzy, my eyes pained me, and at times it seemed as If my back would fail me, had terrible pains across the kidneys. Hot flashes ' were yery frequent and trying. A friend advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, I hare taken six bottles of it and am to-day free from those troubles. I cannot speak in high enough terms of the medicine. I recommend it to all and wish every suffering woman would g-ive it a trial." Belli.
