At one year of age a child has
two bones In the wrist ; at five he

Thus he has what scientists call an
anatomical age.
Girls are usually In advance of

They are more variable In growth

Field's Tribute to Riley
Among the finest tributes which
one man of genius has paid to an
other Is that of Eugene Field to his
friend and brother poet, James
Whltcomb Itlley. He nut It In the
language of an Indiana villager, and
the essence of It was this para
graph :
"Itlley has got true genius: can't
call It anything else. When he
was born fiod give him the tongues
of men and of angels, and threw In
charity for good meusure. There
hain't no Shnkesiienre business
about him, nor no Kyron. Jim Is
a straightaway poet, and his pieces
are as full of honey and dew as
the flower the hunimln' bird plays !
tag with In the cool sunlight of an !
early summer morning. You don't
nave to have anybody tell you what
Jim means In them pieces; there
hain't no need of footnotes and
there hain't no disputed piissiig.-s.
It Is all plain music from tl. ord
go, and thai the kind of music a
feller's heart loves to dunce to."
Happiness and Hard Work
Happiness, I have discovered. Is
nearly always a rebound from hard
work. It is one of the follies of
men to Imagine that they. can en
Joy mere thought, or emotion, or
sentiment. As well try to eat
beauty! Kor happiness' must be

In cornfields and factories and hov
ering over Uttered desks, she
crowns the unconscious head of
the busy child. If you look up
suddenly from hard work you will
see her, but If you look loo long
she fades sorrowfully away. From
"Adventures In Contentment," by
David Grayson.
Not Unlucky for All
The number thirteen hardly de
serves Its black reputation, which
It has had ever since there were
thirteen nt the Last Supper at
which Our Lord was betrayed.
Hence the firm conviction thai If
this number alt down to table one
of them will shortly afterwards
die.
The fact of the mutter Is, as as
trologlsts tell us, that thirteen is
only unlucky to certain people. On
others It has no more potent effect
than any other number, while a
few people declnre that It always
brings them good fortune.

JournuL
National Hero Just
Small Boy to Mother
A Dutch salvage firm Is scouring
Hie bottom of the Caribbean sea
looking for a pHrt of the treasure
that went to the bottom In the
Seventeenth century when I'let
Hein, admiral of the Dutch fleet,
apt ii red eight Spanish galleons
loaded with sliver and sank five
ot hers.
When Plot Heln captured the
Spanish "sliver fleet," the power
of the Dutch republic had already
started on ik decline, I'ierre Van
I'aassen tells us, In the Atlanta
Constitution. The news of the ad
miral's victory therefore sent the
country Into frenzies of enthusi
asm. When he arrived at Hot
terdam, members of the govern
ment were on hand to greet
him and the aristocracy of Am
sterdam nnd Haarlem In luce and
cloth cheered Itself hoarse at the
sight of the popular young ad
miral. All Holland was In gala.
Hut when the admlrul ap
proached the little cottage In
Delftslmven where his mother
lived and he rapped on the door
there was a voice: "Is that vou,
I'let?" "Yes, mother." "Then
wipe your feet on the mat, my boy.
It's a little muddy outside toduy."
Beaver in Real Wilds
FeW IllllceS now avlat u'hoMi
beavers may he seen living wild,
in natural surroundings In Europe.
Forty years ago, the Inst one dls-
ippeared from Scandinavia, when
they lingered longest near Arendal, j
In southern Norway. A correspond ;
ent of the Field report! that '
small, but thriving and Increaslni
colony of these animals now ex
ist! in the same region (at Nlel '
Elve), In a very Inaccessible pert !
of the country, no human dwelling '
anywhere near, and the ground
covered with thick undergrowth
and tree! of birch, aspen and pine.
No Indication of their origin li
given, and it seems possible that i
small remainder of the old stock
haa been hidden here all this time.
Cull Beautiful Bird
Many feathered scavengers an
uncouth, repulsive and awkward
In flight, but the herring gull Is a
thing of beauty and exceedingly
graceful under wing, a master of
the air currents, gliding with per
fection. He soars over the city,
follows the river craft, perches
upon the channel buoys, and may
often he found In flocks resting
upon the waters of Inland ponds
and reservoirs. Unlike other wa
ter birds, he Is not shy ; on the
contrary, he is very friendly, per
haps because he has few enemies,
and Is protected not only In the
harbors but in the breeding rookeries.
Freakish Trees
An explorer In the forests
of
northern India has found a tree that
gives an electric fliock to any one
who touches It. The Intensity of
the shock varies with the time of
day, the current being at Its strong
est at 2 p. m.
Few people realize the extraordi
nary properties with which nature
has endowed some trees. In Nubia,
for example, there la a tree, the
sofar, that plays tunes, a startling
effect due to the boring of numerous
Insects at the base of the young
shoots. The wind, playing through
the tiny apertures, produces a
series of flute-like notes.
A Canadian prairie tree, knAwn
as the compass tree, is an infalli
ble guide to travelers, the edges of
its leaves always pointing north and
south.
In Arizona there is a tree which,
on being touched, actually ruffles Its
leaves and tries to scare off the In
truder by emitting a sickening odor.
