'"Big Ben' is nothing but a relic of barhuiism." .Siieli was tho atlael; made, upon one of liritain'.s most cherished inslitutiiins hy Dr. Theo. B. Hyslop, senior physi- cian lo the Hoyal llo.spitul of Briilevvell and Bethlehem at Ihe Congress of .Sani- tary In.speclors at Blackpool recently. Dr. Hyslop, however, only touched on Big Boil in i)a.ssiiig. lie classed it mere- ly as one of the many noises which lorldre the lu'.vn-dweller, and the sub- ject of his speech was Ihe effect of noises on heulili. The effect, il seems, is n very bad one indeed. "I'lie f.ncl that town lite under exisl- inj; cirfiimstanecs makes it impossible tj obtain adequate brain rest goes far to cau.sc Ihe prevalence of insanity nhotit wliii:h municipalities are so solicitous, and which, in' my opinion, lliey could do so much to prevent,' .said Dr. Hy- slop. The influence of noise upon infant mortality, he continued was much more .serious limn was at present drenm- eil of. He had ^(;n\ the growth of in- fants who lived in or near noisy streets greatly arrested, and their removal to quiclcr localilies had enabled them lo recover. "The noises of clocks, hells, and chimes, such as Big Bon, are nothing hut- relies of barbarismâ€" the baneful ac- companimenls of Ihe night." After Dr. llyslop's speech the con- ference passed a re.solulion asking Ihe Central Council of the association to Iring the subject of noise before Ihe Ccuiily Councils. .'=ir .Tames Criclilon Browne then said Diat he had lately been the vic- tim of a bantam cock of amazingly in- defaligablo and exasneraling hat)il.s. "But," asked Dr. Hyslop, "have you ever heard a really good, healthy tom'- catâ€" not n nifiloneholic cat, Imt one really and properly in lovi?? 'II ejin give poinls to any cock that ever crew." ARE YOUn FEET GEBMA.\. National cliDraclerislics are many and varied, and scientists are always discovering new things. The latest of these is feet. The I'rcnch fool is nar- row and long. The Spanish fool is small and elegantly curvedâ€" thanks lo it' Moori.sh blood. The Arab's fool is proverbial for its high arch. The ICoraii say-; Ihat a stream of water can run under the true Arab's foot without touching il. The foot of the .Seoleh is high and thick; that of tlie Irish Hat and square; the English short and lli'shy. When Athens was in her zeii- ilh, the Grecian foot was the most per- fectly formed and exactly proportioned of that of any of the human race. .Swedes, Norwegians, and Germans have Ihe largest feet, Americans the snial- lesl. Bussian toes are "webbed" to the lirsl joint. 'I'artariaii toes are all the same length. Mrs. Naggelâ€" "You donT love me as much as you used to." Mr. Naggct â€" "Ihink so?" Niir.s.

German Government statistics show that ii\.M\ horses and 2,151 <logs were slaughtered for food under government (inspection during the lirst ihree moiilhs 'Of lOOC. This was an increase of l.'Sii horses and 300 dogs over Ihe number isluughlered during the same lime in jJiXij. .\nd thi.s only accounts for Ihe dogs and horses killed under govern- nionto supervision. It is estiiiiated that among tlie poorer classes, forced lo re- sort to dog and horse meat by thi; ex- clusion of American and other foreign meats from the country, the consiiinp- lion of this sort of meal was nnicii larger than the olUcial records show. DODD'S '/, KlDNEYi HOW OLD IS THE WORLD? Professor Hay Laiikesiei's New Theory Contrary lo Urolodleul Time. Professor Bay I.aiike.sler, in the course of an mtorcsliiig oullino of Ihe advancement of science in the past Iweiily-nve years, which he gave al llio opening of the Brilish A.ssociution at York, raised the question of Ihe age of llie oarlh. lie said the.oi.scovery of radium far exceeded ull other discoveries in im- portance.

Civen a reasonable cliance for life, tho Indian child is as happy, hopeful, aiii- bitiniis, and playful as is the while child boin under much liappier circuiii- sinnces. lie is. lob, niiile as imitative, and. like his white cousin, he apes Ihe ways and manners of his elders and mimics their ncciiiinlions in his jilay. The infant Indian po.ssesscs ra'hermnre dignily than Ihe nndinary white child. This is chieny owing to llie eai-e he re- ceives rather than to inherited scdale- liess. In his infancy he is islrapped I ) a board or securely packed in an elongated basket woven for that purpose where he enn neither kick nor sqiiiriii. 11,' erics less than his while coih,iiis, bocause he early learns tlial il is an iin- piolilablc occupalion. The Indian iiio- Iber is very aceomiiindaling. If her in- fant wishes lo cry she lets him do so. 8lie does not, like Ihe while mother, uish lo tho child when il begins lo howl and try to pacify him. .Slie lets him hiiwl till he tires of il and eea.se.s of his own accord. It is hecniise crying brings 11)0111 attention Ihal most children cry. The >oiiiig Indian does not get the nl- lention, so he soon cuts out crying en- lirely. With crying, kicking, and scuirming climinaled, there is really nothing left for him but to remain eoliii and look dignified. This is what ho does as a rule. Even the young man who is able to hold his own may prefer lo hold the hand of a pretty girl. UNIQUE. "1 ninrried you, my dear, because you were different from other women." "I'latterer !
