WHY- -
Ruminant, Animal That Chewa
Cud, Is So Called.
A ruminant Is nn animal that chews
a cud. Taken together they form
large classified group (ltumlnantla)
and embrace the oxen, sheep, gnats,
antelopes, deer, giraffes, chevrotalns,
camels and llamas. They agree In a
special form of dentition, one feature
of which is the absence of front teeth
tn the tipper Jaw. The ruminants are
so called in reference to the fact that
they “ruminate"; that Is, after their
vegetable food has been hastily swal
lowed, It is forced back up the gullet,
from the foremost compartment of
the four-chambered stomach, in por
tions called “cuds." It Is then thor
oughly masticated and reswallowed,
this time passing Into the digestive
part of tlie complicated stomach. All
ruminants have the third and fourth
of the Instep bones of the feet length
ened and united into a cannon-bone,
and the toes shod with hoofs. Ttie
heads of the males of most of them
are provided with paired horns.—Mon
treal Herald.
Why Man Sleeps Nights
Is Answered by Authority
Night time is sleeping time because
man has made it a habit, a professor
of the physiology department of the
University of Chicago said in a lec
ture before a student class. He backed
his contentions with the findings of
many experts on the subject.
“If existence were suddenly
stretched out into a 30 hour cycle In
place of the 24 hour cycle man would
simply change bis routine to adapt
himself to the new conditions," said
the professor. “Or if the cycle
changed to an 18 hour day. man would
revise ills sleeping routine. The world
would whirl on as smoothly as be
fore."
Many animnls, he said, go man con
siderably better in sleeping, taking
frequent naps during the day. In
fants, however, take frequent daytime
naps, he added, but only up to the
age of live years. The reason man
sleeps night Is becnuse darkness makes
It convenient, he said.—Chicago Trib
une.
Why Coats Button Right to Left
In former times when men wore
swords on all occasions the weapon
was invariably fastened at the left so
that it could be drawn from its scab
bard with quick dispatch. It was fre
quently necessary to be quick on the
druw, and such emergencies made It
necessary to place the coat buttons
at the right. As the left hand reached
to the right to unbutton the coat cov
ering the sword, the right hand went
to the left to draw the weapon. It
is an old prnctice for a woman to
hold a baby In the hollow of her left
arm. This action engages both the
left arm and the hand, so if the right
hand is to be free in unbuttoning the
woman's garments without disturbing I
the position of the child, the garment
must be buttoned from right to left.
Why Dogs Are Bob-Tailed
Although many old English sheep
dogs are born bob-tailed and when
they arc born with tails it Is custom
ary to dock that member to within an
inch or two of the root, this is not a
natural characteristic of the breed.
Rather, it is believed, the tendency to
ward bob tails has resulted from the
pract'ee of herders in earlier days of
cutting off the tails of their working
sheep dogs. It seems that the dogs
used for herding were exempt from tax
ation and their owners took this meth
od of making it easy to tell them apart
from others that did not benefit from
this law.
Why Oranga Blottom* for Brides
The orange blossom is the symbol
of chastity and fecundity. Not only
is the orange tree an evergreen, but
It Is said to be the only tree which
produces fruit and flowers nt the same
time. The custom of entwining orange
blossoms in bridal wreaths is of com
paratively recent date In Europe and
in America. It came to this country
from the French, who in turn have
derived the custom from Spain. In
the latter country the custom is traced
to the Moors.
Why Light and Dark of Moon
These are popular expressions with
out scientific meaning. In some parts

Seme Pertinent Facts Relating!
To Bimetallism.
By William A. Hesse.
( Fifth Installment )
Just listen to what Sir Guil
ford Molesworth, delegate of
British India to the Brussels
Monetary Conference, had to
say:
“Now this state of things was
clearly predicted by Ernest
Seyd in 1871 when the sever
ence of the link between gold
and silver was first contemplat
ed. His prediction has beer,
so remarkably fulfilled that I
must quote his words. ‘It is a
great mistake to suppose that
the adoption of a gold valu
ation by other states besides
England will be beneficial It
will only lead to the destruct
ion of the monetary equilibri
um hitherto existing, and a de
cline in prosperity all over the
world.
“ ‘ The strong doctrinarian
ism in England as regards the
gold valuation is so blina that
when the time of the depress
ion sets in there will be this
special feature: the economic
authorities of the country <*;U
refuse to listen to the cause
here foreshadowed; every
possible attempt will be made
to prove that the decline of
commerce is due to all sorts of
causes and irrecincilable mat- j
ters; the workingman and his
strikes will be the first conven
ient target; then speculation
and overtrading will have
their turn. Many other alle
gations will be made, totally ir
relevant to the real issue, but
satisfactory to the moralizing I
tendency of the financial wint
ers.’
“In fulfillment of this pre
diction we find that the diffi
culties under which we labor
have been attributed to all
sorts of irreconcilable causes.

Why Coin I* Called “Dime”
The word is derived from the Katin
decima, meaning tenth, through the old
French •‘disine," which meant tithe,
and the modern French “dime” having
the same meaning. The word has
been in the English language a long
time, and has always meant a tenth
part. A dime, of course, is now the
tenth part of a dollar.
Why Mint Sauce With Lamb
Tlie custom of eating mint sauce
with lamb is of English origin nnd Is
supposed to be a remnant of the older '
custom of eating bitter herbs with the,
paschal lamb.
Why Called a Furlong
A furlong, which is 220 yards, was,
so called, it is supposed, because It
was originally the length of a furrow
which oxen could plow without stop-1

j
CAUSED A SPECIES OF ECO
NOMIC REVOLUTION,
WHICH HAS CREATED A
NEW STATE IN THE CON
DITIONS OF TRADE AND
COMMERCE DIFFER I N G
FROM THAT WHICH PREV
IOUSLY EXISTED. But they
overlook the fact that the al
leged causes have been in act
ive operation during the great
er part of the century.
“It is obvious, therfore, that
such a revolution, if it existed,
should have arisen at an earlier
period and that it should have
developed gradually instead of
setting in suddenly AT THE
EXACT MOMENT WHEN
THE LINK WAS BROKEN
BETWEEN GOLD AND SIL
VER. It is absurd to suppose
that a revolution of this char
acter could have effected gold
prices go seriously and yet
should have left silver prices
unaffected. Silver is the stand
ard of value for more than half
the world, yet silver prices
have remained stable, whilst
gold prices have fallen from
40 to 50 per cent. Whilst
shutting their eyes to these
facts, the advocates of such a
theory are blind to the follow
ing facts:
“ (1) The depression which
has occurred as a consequence
of the suspension of the free
coinage of silver in France was
predicted and the prediction
has been fulfilled to the letter.
“ (2) That since 1871 the
population demanding gold
has quadurpled, and the for
eign trade demanding gold has
trebled.
“ (3) That the annua! sup
ply of gold scarcely exceeds
the amount required for in
dustrial purposes.
“ (4) The demonetization
of silver,for monetary purposes
in Europe has caused gold to
perform single harded the
work previously done by gold
and silver combined.
It follows as a necessary con
sequence of these facts, that
with the increased demand for
gold, its value must rise, or
what is the same thing the gold
price of commodities must fall.
The judicial blindness must be
great which, ignoring this
strong evidence of facts seeks
an explanation in irrelevant
theories.
A very distinguished member
of this conference has likened
silver to a sick man whose
state has been aggravated by
medicines which have been ad
ministered to cure him; but I
think that this is not surprising,
inasmuch as the physicians
have not merely mistaken the
character of the illness, but
have mistaken the invalid.
It is gold who is the sick man,
not silver. They have mistak
en the bloated condition of gold
for symptoms of health, where
as it is the symptom of a dan
gerous disease which now
threatens to develop into a
fearful crisis, one which is
frightful to contemplate.
