Pockets Man is marsupial, and hercin he is broadly distinguished from woman. Nature has provided man with pockets jn his trousers, his waistcoat, and his coat. The number is not always the fame, some men having, in the aggre- gate, twelve distinet pockets, great and small, while others have only cight or sine; but a man totally without pockets would be a lusus naturac, It is remark- able that pockets are not congenial, but are slowly developed during childhood and youth. The trouscrs pockets, which are earliest developed, seldom make their appearance before the fifth year, and one of these usually comes to ma- turity ten or twelve months before its fdlow. About the eighth year a male dhild develops two and somctimes three ceat pockets, and two years later the lower waistcoat pockets appear. Nature then pauses in her work, and it is not vatil the fourteenth year that the small fob pockets of the waistcoat and the watch pocket of the trousers are de! oped. The appearance of the pistol pocket and the two coat-tail pockets is usually synchronous with the cutting of the wis- dom teeth. When these have reached A ‘hy W a maturity, the normal development of reason why aterman's ; OAL. pockets ceases—for the comparatively Ideal is the world’s most recent discovery of isolated specimens of efficient pen. a bis renee ° “ fleece of isan It is only because it is the phe ered caine cnaat lace mh ao most scientific and the most care- ing away female hands, docs not as yct warrant any change in the scientific fully made pen in every detail. vin $1 ordion There is a very simple jsually “AN'N3d NIViNNOA ( classification and description of human And the making of such a pen is pockets. all detail. —From “ Domestic Explosives.” ‘ ren ielebdibane t No part can be slighted, from the selection and vulcanizing of the special rubber, the hand-turned and fitted Parts, to the modeling of the famous **spoon feed.” Then the sensitive gold pens are of them- selvesa wonderful work, hand-beaten into perfect writing points of every degree and delicately tipped with costly iridium for permanence.
