..'.t .'.' Philosophy. T.a..FH

A few days ago Boston girl who had bee
attending the School of Philosophy at Con
cord, arrived in Brooklyn on avisit to sem
mary chum. After canvassing thorough
the fun and gum drops that made up thei
education in the seat Of learning at whic
their early scholastic efforts were made, tn
Brooklyn girl began to inquire into the na
ture of the Concord entertainment.
Sand so you are taking lessons in philoso
ply. How do you like it9" .....
sob! it's perfectly lovely. It's about sci
ence, You know, and we all just dote OF
science.n = .'..a e.. {. + s-- .-.
"What Is it about ?''
"Its about molecules as much as anythin,
else, and the molecules are Just too awful,
nice for anything. Ifthere's anything real
ly enjoy it's molecules" %. 01Gt ..
"Tell me about them, my dear. What arr
molecules pr .s.a 49,
"Oh! molecules, They are little wee
things, and 1t takes over so many of them
They are splendid things! Do you know
there amt anything but what's got molecules
in 1t. And Mr.. Cook Is Just as sweet as he
can be, and Mr.. Emerson, too, They ex,
plain everything so beautifully"
How I'd like to 60 there I" said the 9th
er girl enviously. ... .'"ff ..,
"You'd enjoy it ever so much. They teach
protoplasm, too, and if there's one thing per-
fectly heavenly it's protoplasm. I really
don't know which I like best, protoplasm or
molecules. ..a mnHM1 o., e.. G,5Gr
'"Tell me about protoplasm. / know 1
should adore it," -G aal g. .ss.., ~
""Deedyou would. It's just too sweet to
live. Youiknow it's about how things get
started, or something of that kind. Y ou
ought to hear Mr.. Emerson tell about 1t. 1t
would stir your very soul. The first time. he
explained about protoplasm there wasn't q
dry eye in the house. We named our hats
after him. This Is an Emerson hat. You
see the ribbon Is drawn over the crown and
caught with buckle and bunch of flowers.
Then you turn up the side with spray of
forget-nne-nots. Amt It just too sweet? All
the girls in the school have them" .".a d..
'"How exquisitely lovely! Tell me some
more science.",H s....ra j. nt
"Oh I! almost forgot about differentiation.
am really and truly positively in love with
differentiation. It's different from molecules
and protoplasm, but it's every bit as nice.
And Mr.. Cook! You should hear him 90 on
about H.! I really believe he's perfectly
bound up in it. This scarf is the Cook scarf.
All the girls wear them, and we named them
after him just on account Of the interest he
takes In differentiation" . .D"'"lr ..a
What is It, anyway2" ,a. -'". g ...
"This is null trimmed with Languedoc
al don't mean that-that other" i.g ug.
"oh! differentiation amt 1t sweet I? It's
got something to do with species It's the
way you tell one hat from another, so you'll
know which is becoming. Aud we learn all
about ascidians, top. They are the divinest
thingsl am absolutely enrap.,ired with
ascidians. III only had one Of my own,I
wouldn't ask anything else in the world."s
"What do they look like, dear Did you
ever see onepn ~ e&. 10 ,.,W eli u
.t"Oh no; nobody ever saw one except Mr..
Cook and Mr.. Emerson, but they are some
hing like an oyster with q reticule hung on
It's belt. think they are just heavenly" ~
. ado youlearn anything else 9'oii4b ~
"Oh, yes. We learn about common phi
osophy and logic, and those common things
ike metaphysics, but the girls don't care
about those, and really don't see
Why Mr.. Emerson and Mr.. Cook put In those
7ulgar branches. aJ If anybody besides them |
lad done 1t we should have told him to his
ace that he was too terribly, awfully mean,"
And the Brooklyn girl went to bed In |
he dumps because fortune had not vouch-
