It Is a law of naturo thnt some of the lower anlnmls prpy on others. Per haps It has often occurred to you that some provision might have been made for the nnlmuls to sustain life In some other wny, say, by eating vegetation, or somo other product of the earth, Instead of each other. Hut if that were tho case, the lower animals would multiply too fast, nnd to avoid this there Is what tho wise men call tho "balance of nature," by which tho pro duction and destruction of animal llfo Is adjusted for the benefit of tho whole Mnn sometimes Interferes with tho "balance," as happened In France, somo tlmo ago, when so many smnll birds were killed that the caterpillars de stroyed all tho vegetation In certain places. Nature always knows what sho Is doing, nnd It Is best not to lntcrfcro too seriously with her plans. Bo far as tho slaughter of smnll birds and somo largo ones Is concerned, It Is not only unwise, but cruel, for thousands are slain every year merely that their feathers or Iwdlea mny bo hnd for dec orating tho hats of women nnd girls.

Then touch your bnro foot to tho cnrjet and the oilcloth, In turn, nnd tho oilcloth will be found much tho colder of tho two. You know thnt tho oilcloth ennnot really bo colder than the carpot, for they arc both subject to tho samo de gree of hent, and must necessarily bo of tho snmo temperature. Why, then, should tho oilcloth seem to bo so much colder? It is simply boeauso It Is a good conductor of bent, while tho enr pet Is not. To put It more plainly, tho oilcloth carries tho heat away from your foot so fast that It gives you a cold sensation, but 1he carpet carries hardly any of the heat away. A HtrniiKtt Cut. High among tho mountains of Tibet lives a beautiful cat that hits never been seen In this country. It hns tho most lovely bushy tall, and Is marked with many coal-black rings.

Anthonr "til Not Want to 11 o Hither Druilice or Doll. Whllo sho was a schoolmistress Miss Anthony received it number of propo sals of mnrrlngu anil evidently ut that time sho was Impressed to some extent with tho traditional necessity of mnr rlage. A dozen suitors mado tentative overtures to her, but nono of them seemed to bo nblo to draw from her tho declslvo "yes." Ono dny sho was riding home from a meeting with a well-to-do young mnn of tho neighborhood. Without nuy spe cial warning so Miss Anthony main tained ufterwnrd ho turned to her nnd said: "Will you have mo?" Miss Anthony, llko her box general ly, pretended that sho did not under stand what ho had said. Sho mur mured: "What for?" Then tho bold suitor mado himself more plain. Ho blurted out: "Will you marry me, Miss Anthony?" Then ho began to tell her of his flno homo nnd excellent prospects and she, llko all other women sluco tliu worlfl began, listened gravely to his fervid avowal. Rut at last she remembered tho training of her young llfo and told hliu sho would consider tho proposal very seriously. This sort of n reply did not satisfy tho headstrong lover. Ho persisted. Tho young woman remained firm. Huo reiterated that hIio must glvo tho ques tion very serious consideration because If sho married sho might hnvo to give up her chosen work, nnd such a mo mentous matter ought not to bo settled In n moment. Then sho went to n nearby town and remained for n week, speaking- beforo mnny large gatherings on tho question of woman suffrage and thinking con stantly of tho other question tho ques tion of mnrrlnge. During tilt's inter val tho young mnn snw nnothor girl, proposed nnd Immediately married her. When sho heard of this Miss Anthony was naturally somowhnt chngrlncd. Lntcr In llfo sho expressed thoso views on mntrlmony: "I novor loved any ono so much thnt I thought It would Inst. In fact, I never felt thnt I could glvo up my llfo of freedom to becomo a housekeeper. When I was young If a girl married poverty sho be ennio n drudge; If sho married riches sho became u doll. Had I married nt lit I might hnvo been cither a drudgo or n doll." And sho nlwnys added nnlvely. "Think of that cholco?" So sho lived a spinster to tho end, nnd. undiverted by tho cares of chil dren or of a husband, attained tho leadership of tho forces nctlvo In 1m half of woman's legal rights. Boston Herald. One of tho Cnril Trick. One of the tricks of a well-known slclght-of-haud performer Is to tnko u pack of ordinary playing cards, tear It In two In the middle with ono twist of his wrists, nnd then tear each of the hovered hulves In two In tho snmo way. Tho entire operation occupies only a few seconds. At tho hotel whero ho was stayliig during his engagement In n largo west ern city n few years ago, a guest who hns becomo slightly acquainted with him said to him at tho breakfast table ono morning: "I'd glvo n pretty penny to know how you jorform that trick of tearing up a full pnek of cards as if It woro a sllco of cheese. It looks easy, but to my mind It Is ono of tho most mys tifying of all your performances." "I don't mind telling you how it Is done," said the mnglclau. "It Is ono of tho simplest tricks I have, but It re quires n llttlo training, of course. You tako an ordinary card, grasp It firmly In your hand, and tenr It across tht middle. Tear tho halves tho snmo wny. Do this onco n dny for a week. "Tho next week you tnko two cards, hold them together, and tear them up tho snmo way. "Tho third week you tnko three cards, nnd so on until you hnvo been practis ing the trick fifty-two weeks, when you will And that you can tear up tho whole llfty-two cards with perfect ease, Just as you snw me do It last night." "Rut," snld tho other, In astonish moiit, "thnt makes It look as If you did It by main strength." "Yes," admitted tho magician, break ing a biscuit In two with his muscular hands and proceeding to butter it, "It does look that way." Marked. MIIU attentions to you have been marked, have they not?" said tho young woman's experienced friend. "Oil. Tea. Ho has never tnkpn tha price ticket off any of hU presents."
