What Procasiion of Thooo Born In Ono Yoar Would Mean. It 1ms been computed tlint about 80,000,000 babies are bom Into the world each year. Tue rato of produc tion Is, therefore, about seventy per minute, or inoro tUim ono for every bent of the clock. With the one-a-sccoud calculation every reader Is familiar, but It Is not every one who stops to calculate what this means when It comes to a year's supply. It will, therefore, probably sturtio a food many persons to Bud, on the authority of a well known statis tician, that, could the Infants of a year be ranged In a line In cradles, the cradles would extend around the globe. The same writer looks at the matter In a more picturesque light He Im agines the babies beins carried past a given point In their toothers' arms, one by one, and the procession being kept up night and day until the last hour in the twelfth month had passed by. A sufficiently liberal rate is al lowed, but even In going past at the rate of twenty a minute, 1,200 an hour, during the entire year, the reviewer at his post would have seen only the sixth part of the infantile host In other words, the babe that bad to be carried when the tramp began would bo able to walk when but a niere fraction of Its comrades had reached the reviewer's post, and when the year's supply of babies was draw ing to a close there would be u rear guard, not (Jf Infants, but of romping six-year-old boys and girls.

Teoplo still speak of pictures being hung "ou tho line" at the Itoyal Acade my, but very few Indeed, even among tho present members themselves, know tho origin of the term. The common belief that it Implies n pluce ou the walls on the level with u spectator's eyo Is more or less eortccL Hut when the exhibitions were held In Somerset Ilcufo and Trafalgar squire the term meant something far more definite. In those days people not only spoke of pictures being hui:g "on the line," but "above the line" und "below the line." "The line" was theu a regular and per manent fixture. It was a horizontal lino exactly ch.'ht feet from tho floor, marked by a projecting ledge that left the surface of the wull below It two Inches In advance of that which was abovo It A picture was said to be bung "on the lino" when the top of Its frame was level with Oils ledge. "Hung thus," says O. D. Leslie, It. A., In "The Inner Lift of the Itoyal Academy," "the picture, unless a very small one Indeed, wus exactly at the height to be viewed comfortably by a specta tor." The rule In old times was that nil very Inrge pictures, as well as wholo length and half length portraits, had to be placed above tho line, the bot toms of their frames resting on the ledge which marked the line, but no lower. The Hue was thus preserved level, no pictures breaking through It either from above or below. Origin ef "Navvy Workers. The seventeenth century canals or navigations gave rise to the "navvy," a term very slowly evolved from "nav igator." There are many country pub lic houses In England still existing that testify to the navvy's early designa tion on their sign, "The Navigators' Arms," which depicts brawny labor er with a spado in ono hand and a foaming pot of beer In the other. But you may search England through and through and you will not find a "Nav vy's Arms." Curiously enough, while the navvy who makes our roads now obtained his designation from digging out canals, the canals were all legally classified as roads In n great body of statutes tho 'iroad acts." But what would have been his nickname if rail ways bad como before waterways? London Glolte. The Judge's Misgivings. A serious caso of highway robltery, tried some years ago beforo Chief Baron Green on the hist day of the Ennls assizes, resulted In an acquittal. Tho chief baron, addressing the sheriff, said, "Mr. Sheriff, Is there any other Indictment against this Innocent man?" "No, my lord," wns the reply. "Theu you'll greatly oblige me it you don't let Mm out until I have half an hour's start of him on my way to Limerick P' I-ondon Mali Your Height and Foot The hplght of the human figure is six times tho length of the human foot Whether the form Is slender or plump, the rulo holds good on the average; any deviation from tho rulo Is a de parture from the benuty of proportion. It Is claimed that the Greeks mado all their statues according to this rulo. Contrary, "My husband thinks I'm extrava gant and gets wild every time be sees mo with new clothes." "Does her "Yes. lie never sees me dressing up without giving mo a dressing down." London Telegraph. An Invitation. "How beautiful It Is! now beauti ful!" "Yes, It Is beautiful. It Is from this point that no tourist has ever' been able to view the scenery without giv ing mo at least a dollar tip." Purls ttlra. A man's task Is always light If his heart Is light-Lew Wallace. "IDOLS OF THE ANCIENTS. Those That Give Their Names to the Days of the Week. In the museum at Berlin' there are representations of the idols from which tho names of the days of the week are derived. From the idol of the sun comes Sun day. This Idol is represented with bis fuce like the sun, holding a burning wheel with both hands ou his breast, signifying his course round the world. Tho idol of tho moon, from which comes Monday, Is habited In a short coat, like a man, holding the moou in bis hands. Tulsco, from which comes Tuesday, wus ono of the most ancient nud pop ular gods of the Germans and Is rep resented in his garments of skins, ac cording to their peculiar manner of clothing. Tho third day of tho week was dedicated to his worship. Woden, from which comes Wednes day, was a valiant prince among the Saxons. Ills image was prayed to for victory. Thor, whence comes Thursday, Is seated In a bed, with twelve stars over uU head, holding a scepter in his hand. Frlya, whence we have Friday, Is represented with a drawn sword In his right baud and a bow in his left. Saeter, from which comes Saturday, has tho appearance of perfect wretch edness; he Is thin vtsaged, long haired, with a long beard. Ho carries a wuter pall lu his right baud, wherein are fruits and flowers. READY FOR A WRECK. The Careful Man Who Believed Taking Every Precaution. 1,1 ! Two friends boarded n reat trans atlantic liner and set sail for Cher bourg. Ono was n good fellow. The other was a niggardly man. Tho first night out they went to their state ' room. "Say, Bob," said tho niggardly man, "I wish you'd step out ou deck while I undress." I "That's a remarkable request," ol ! Jected tho good fellow. "Why have I you developed this streak of bashful ! ness at this lute day? I never saw any I signs of it before." I "Never mind about that," said the niggardly man. "You get out!" i After a long nud acrimonious argu ' tnent tho good fellow went out ou deck and stayed half nu hour. When he i returned to the stateroom tho niggard- ly man was stretched out in the up ! per berth. Moreover, he was dressed I up like a Christinas tree In a berib j boned nightgown and a woman's bou doir cap. "Say," exclaimed the good fellow, "what in thunder is the matter? Why nave you got that makeup on?" "Look at me and be wise," said the niggardly man. "Remember the rule 'In case of a wreck women and chil dren first' "Popular Magazine. Peru the 8ource of Cocaine. V There) is a shrub In high Peru whic h docs not bring the blessing of the po tatoI mean the cocoa tree, whence comes cocaine. The leaf is chewed by yoang and old. Some doctors say it is rery bad for the peoplo of Peru. The Infantile death rate is high, and thoy say few old persons a do to be found. Other doctors aver that the cocoa leaf Is very good fur tho peasants. I am Inclined to take a view between the two opinions. I met a man in Cuzco who was runulug a grocery store, and Professor Glessooke told me they had very good neoots in that town that ho win a hundred and fifty years old. He sold me chocolate and also cocoa ' leaves. I chewed the leaves to try to euro nn ulcer In my stomach, and they helped roe more than all the medicines of civilization that 1 had tried.

What nliout that childish dream lu which the fero cious lion comes bounding along be hind you, and you run as boy never ran before, and the lion closes the gap little by little, and then, all of a sud den, your legs grow limp and your muscles turn to water and your feet fray out and tho lion krps and you awake with a yell If your voice isn't paralysed, and everybody In tho house wakes with you?

TLesson "in GEOGRAprTYT Do You Know How Far East South America's West Coast li? In his book, tho "Conquest of the Tropics," Frederick Uphum Adams ;alls attention to somo little known geographical facts: Most of us picture Havana as nearly south of New. York, when In fact It la about south of Detroit A study of a map of the new world discloses tho disconcerting fact that all of the west coast of South America is east of De troit, nud that mo?t of It Is hundreds of mllea enst of New York city. Tho truth of the matter Is that wo should call that continent "Southeast Auier- ! lea." ! I also made the astounding discov ery that a considerable portion of South America Hps north of the south j ttiy sections of North America. When ! we set sail from Colon for Santa Mar , ta, Colon.fcla. wo do not head south or southeast, wo point our prow north j east This Is almost as puzzling as the j other fact to the effect that Colon, tho Caribbean port (tho supposed east ! port), is twenty odd miles west of I'an , uuta City, which Is ou tho Tactile and . presumably west end of the canal.

More than once, Bays John II. Weeks lu his Imok "Among the Primitive Hn kongo," I had lu my San Salvador Journey n strong kreoboy a part of whoso duty It was to carry mo over tl'.o many streams and swamps thut crossed the path. Ills name was a re r.iaikalilo one. I do net know how ho mine by It, but tho first tlmo I met 1:1m I asked him his name, and ho re plied In krooboy English, "My name, massa, be Napoleon Bonaparte." Sometimes Napoleon would have mo on his shoulders In tho middle of a river, and feeling the rush of water against bis lcgi he would begin to quako nud say: "Mnssa, I no fit for carry you. I go let you fall." I would reply, "Napoleon, I fit for give you one cupful of rlco suppose you no drop me." Ho would then take a few more care ful paces, and feeling the swirl of wa ter more strongly about his legs und the stones slipping beneuth his feet ha would nervously cull out in bis curious English: "Massa. massa. I no fit! I bound for let you full." Napoleon often received from me tho promise of . two or three cupfuls of rice to steady him before ho landed me high and dry Uwn the further bank. At times we were not so fortu nate. Then both of us weut down Into the water, and we congratulated our selves when it was a stream and not a nasty, muddy swamp. 8hampoo A mid-eighteenth century traveler, who is the first person known to have made English of the word "shampoo." wrote that "shampooing is an opera tion not known In Europe and Is pe culiar to the Chinese, which I bad once the curiosity to go through nud for which I paid but a trifle. However, hnd I not seen several Chinese mer chants shampooed before me I should have been apprehensive of danger, even at the night of all the different Instruments." The original "sham poo," as this traveler's detailed ue count und other nlluslous for long after his time show, was very much what wo call "massage" now. It was from India that the word really came, and It represents the Imperative of a verb meaning to knead. Green Animals a Puizls. What makes some animals green? If any reader knows and will tell he will settle a big dispute now going on among scientists who have vowed to find out. Green colorations belong chiefly to Insects, worms and reptiles. Whether they get their green huo from the plants they eat or not Is u (pies tlon that has not been conclusively settled, although It lias been shown that they will retain their color even when deuied all green food. Exchange. Giraffe Moat. The flesh of young giraffe, especially thut of n young cow, Is extremely good, somewhat like veal, with a game like flavor. The tongue, from eighteen to twenty Inches long. Is also very good. ' Hut the marrow bones afford thu greatest luxury to thu South Afri can hunter. Woman's Aim.
