The "Ilnlnneo of ZVntnre."
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.

A Little ISxperlment.
Lny a pleco of oilcloth on tho carpet
In your room and let tho room got good
and warm, Walt suvernl hours, If you
wish, until everything In tho room hns
had a chauco to reach tho samo temper
nture. 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.

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.
Its coat has exqulslto shading of choc
olato and yellow, making It probably
tho prettiest of tlni small cat tribe.
In genernl appearaneo It Is llko our
pussies, but It Is n snvago llttlo animal,
nnd so fnr tho only specimens that
have been brought Into Kuropo or
America hnvo been dead ones, ns tho
hunters have been unable to tako tlieiu
nllve.
It Is called tho Mnnucl cat, nnd, now
thnt something Is known about tho
Tibetan country, probnbly these pretty
creatures will bo brought to the Zoo
logical Gardens Iwfore long, nnd mny
not bo so dlfllcult to tamo as they nro

School I.lfe.
Off to school In the morning;
Back to our homes nt night;
Nothlnr to do the livelong dny
But study, learn, and recite.
Oh, yes, there's recess In the forenoon ;
And nn hour for luncheon, you know;
And recess again In the P. M. ;
Thn off to our homes we go.
So thus the hours bring changes,
A medley of study nnd play ;
And the school child's life Is full of fun
From dawn to the close of day.

WHY 8HE NEVER MARRIED.
Suann II. 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

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."
