CYCLES OF LIFE AND DEAT
Interesting Speculation Concerning
Possible Composition of Cor
poreal Atoms of the Body.
Did you know that perhaps some-
whore In your hotly Is n bit of Julius
Caesar, or perhaps King Solomon
John Phln, scientist, In his "Savon Fol
lies of Science," says: "From birth
to death we have been eontlntiallyjjor
rowing, continually paying back. Part
of our physical organization may have
corpe from the fruit of the tropics,
port from the mosses of’the frozen
Nqrtb. We may hold In our bone,
muscles and bruins materials which
onco formed parts of sheep, wolves,
and In nil the millions of years dur
ing which composition and dccompo
attlon of organic.mnttcr has gone on
It Is quite probnble that some portion
s of our physical system may have form
|od part of the material orgunlzntlon
of thousands of other animals, men In
‘cludqd. Tho Imtyoelle may have In his
body a'toms which onco formed part
of Homer, of Plato and of Archimedes.
In tho frame of the beggnr may be
built mntorlal which once formed part
of Solomon, and some atoms which
enabled Alexander or Bruce to achieve
'their fame, mrfy now form part of tho
body of a lazar. Even umong the
corporeal atoms which now mnke up
our own bodlos may be particles which
helped to Incarnate the person of
Jesus Christ, or which lent physical
energy to the burning eloquence of
St. Paul. Organic life has gone on
UQ,n»>3lngly for untold nges In over-
recurring cycles. We cannot movo n
muscle, or give way to an emotion, or
even think a thought without burning
up some pajt of our corporeal framo,
mid the used-up mnterlal Is speedily
ejected and then transformed Into the
clothing of a new llfo.”
NO OLD MAIDS IN BABYLON
Anolent City Had a 8yatam Which Aa-
aured the Marriage of All
the Females.
^ The first known auctions of tho
world were bold In Babylon many
centuries before Christ. Tho articles
auctioned consisted of all the virgins
In the city, and the sale was held onco
a year. On the day selected the girls
were brought to tile market place and
there ordered to remove their gar
ments. All tho youug men of tho city
were also gathered and tho nmldcnB (
one by one, wore led ton block whero
tho youth of tho city could Inspect
them. The beautiful girls were sold
first nnd overy effort made to get as
much ns possible for their charms,
The young men of those days were
ns eager to win the fairest maid pos
sible by bidding as men of a later age
were to win them by bravfe deeds or
pleadings. As a result fortunes were
In the bands of tho auctioneer by the
tlmo. tho homely girls were reached.
This fortune was then divided up and
tho auctioneering took o now life. Tho
Uompllest girl wns given the largest
part of,, the money collected from
bonuly nnd many a poor man found
himself with a very homely wife but
a comfortable start In business. The
system at least did away with old
maids and bachelors nnd Insured a
Steady (growth of population and few
dependents on the state.

Wh«n Diner* At* Their Plate*.
The word fritter, which with cooler
weather will become popular onco
more, originates from an old Kronch
word meaning to fry, which comes
from the Latin past participle of the
verb frlgero, frlctus.
Similarly, fricassee takes Its name
from tho same Latin verb or from the
French "fracassor," meaning to break
Into pieces, or, as some exports be
lieve, from tho Latin "frlcnro," to rub.
Any meat fried In a pan Is fricasseed,
according to French culinary defini
tion,
Another word of French nnd Latin
birth Is tart Tart 1b a culinary cor
ruption of tho word "tourto” (French),
derived from “tartlne." a slice of
(trend. Tills comes from tho Latin
"torqueo," to twist lienee tho word
“tort»" means n twist or roll of bread.
Ih the middle nges there wns n de
ficiency In pistes, nnd so, for a sub
stitute, nn undercrust of bread served
sb a plate. For a long tlmo In France
this undercrust of the "tourte," or
“tarte," wns tho most common of
plates. After everything had been
served diners ate oven their "plates."
In time thoRC dinner plates, mndo
of dinner rolls, enmo to be prepared
specially and developed Into a cake-
like tm(ter, which wns filled with dain
ty food. And ao they were called tarts
find tnrtlettes, and were served as a
distinct dish.—Gat ■ Logic.
