THE SUPPLY OF BABIES.'
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. London

HANGING PICTURES.
Tho Old Rule and Origin of fti. Term
"On the Line."
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?

The Judge's Misgivings.
A serious caso of highway robltery,

Indictment against this Innocent man?"
"No, my lord," wns the reply.

"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

Two friends boarded n reat trans

"Say, Bob," said tho niggardly man,
"I wish you'd step out ou deck while

I "That's a remarkable request," ol

I you developed this streak of bashful

I "Never mind about that," said the
niggardly man. "You get out!"
i After a long nud acrimonious argu

and stayed half nu hour. When he
i returned to the stateroom tho niggard-

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. It
' Is positively uncanny to look out of a

TRAVEL IN SAN SALVADOR.
CroCGing Rivers and Swamps Tourists
Often G:t Freo Balds.
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.
