Die as the wife of no subse luent ruler

AS one incident among hundreds IL
Illustrating this fact, let me tell you what
occurred not long ago at the Teatro

musc-loving people for many nights,
and the favorlte prima donna-a gay
and pretty little creature was loaded
with gifts and fayors. One night, for
an encore, the audience (who are al
ways far more eAcitable and demon
stratire here than our colder FLOODED
gatherings at the north) demanded of
the prima donna one of the many little
songs written at tie fall Of the empire.
ridiculing the Emperor and Empress.
The prima donna endeavored to divert
them from the point, co, .uettishiy
singing other songs at her pref
tiesf. but still the cries continued
for the one at first demanded. In
vain she did her best in other lines. the
wiliful audience would not be diverted,
the cries degenerated into howls and
then into Kisses, till she was driven
from the stage. The manager, going
behind the scenes to exercise his per-
sonal authority, found her In passion
OF tears. She explained that she had
once been maid in the palace, that
the Empress, dis overing her TALENT
ha / been her patron and paid for her
musical education. and that the very
dress she was then wearing was sspoor
Carlotta's, gift. Could she use the adj
vantages thus gained to ridi.ule her
benefa tor? Meanwhile perfect PAN
demoninm was raging in the theater;
wells, cries and groans were deaien ng;
many people were hastily leaving. and
chairs had begun to rain down upon
the stage from the galleries with alarm
ing indications that heavier articles
might soon be expected to follow. The
manager stepped to the footlights amidst
3 shower of missiles and explained the
situation. With the chara teristic vo-
latility of the Latin rae. the little gill
was recalled in the midst of her tears
and chcercd to the . no, order was re-
stored, and the offensive song was rem

hen has a certain number of germs of
oyules in the ovary ut birth and that
these mature during cerlain periods of
hcr life, is simply b ish. 1t is a base
less. imaginary supposition, and quite
inconsistent with VIII 1t rs known rs tho
laws of animal growth. If these l00
oyules exist. at what time We're they
formed? They must have existed in
the Young chi Ks, and if so they must
have been in embryo in the egg. his
is not possible. 1t might as well be
said that every fat gloDule in the milk
of cow has been numbered and pro-
vided for at the birth of the cali, be-
cause these globuleS reproduced b. cell
growth in prec sely the same manner
as the ovule in the osary of hen, L;
was once "a d years ~go that the whole
Of \ tree existed in ealb yo in the seed
the roots, stem, branches and leaf.
This is paral ell I'M statement to that
in regard to the heks The atsurdiiy IS
apparent to anyone1yho- thinks about
it, and one absrrs as tine other. The
fact is, The hen at birth has no appar-
ent ovules, nor il the o airy fully
formed. This grows and natures as
the chick grows and increases in age
and size, from the ordinary cell growth,
by VIII CHI the bone, muscle and other
parts OF the fowl are produced from
the blood, which is made from the
food. The food is eaten and digested
and changed into blood; the blood forms
the matter from which the cellular
tissue of the animal is built up. If tho
food is not sufficient for all the demands
of the animal. its life is first sustained,
then its sustenance is added to, BIT its
reproductive funct oas are not COM
pleted or set IN action. For this fall
purpose of q living creature. whether
plant or animal, full and sufficient nu-
tri,nent must be provided. A hen will
not lay eggs unless fully fed, simply
because the ovules in the ovary can not
be formed without the necessary sub
stance, which must come from the
blood; and these ovules are formed by
an abundant growth of tissues in pro-
portion to the supply of food. The get
| ter a hen is fed and the more iudiclous
care bestowed upon her, the more eggs
she will produce. As some hens have
Eeen known to lay over 1000 eggs in
the course of long life. it is very clear
| that a large number OF ovules must
have been produced somehow, although
she was provided with 90 at her birth.
The whole statement is one of those
foolish facts" of popular science OF
which SO many are turned out OF tho
science mills. Common sense is very
