A DIAGRAM OF THE PROCESS,
of research he finally succeeded, and to-day
illustrates how it all came about. First
there was the egg and the albumen in the
egg. BY the process of artificial incubation
the germ Of life contained in the egg was
developed; soon the egg was broken and
out stepped something covered with feath-
ers. AS 1t grew it became beautiful fowl,
whose attire was gaudy and gorgeous to
look upon. This fowl was very vain
bird. 1t thought that such a captivating
member of ornithological society would cut
a great swell as human being. So, by a
great effort and a process somewhat similar
to that told OF in The Strange Case OF DR..
Jekylt and Mr.. Hyde, the desired result
was what caused the artist to undertake
this investigation. The evolutionary pro-
cess will be apparent upon a consultation
OF the accompanying diagram.

AFTER THE BALL.

The music has died away,
Its rhythm has ceased to thrill;
But echoing notes astray
Are loud In my fancy still.
The ring of that waltz-quadrille,
Like lullaby song OF old,
Is sounding afresh in my drowsy ear,
And wheeling before my eyes appear,
with gracefulness timed TO the haunting
strain,
Gay ribbon, bright jewel. and gorgeous train
vision OF silk and gold.
Fair faces with Joy replete
On muscular shoulders lean;
Feet. daintily sandaled feet,
Coquettishly dart between;
White skirts but a moment seen,
Yet lavish i'm brief display,
Go saucily by with their wanton sweep.
Like patches Of foam on the stormy deep,
And fanciful columns retreat. advance,
And mingle again in the fairy dance,
So wild in my brain to-day.
Stay, resonant music loud.
Yet sweet as a cradle song;
Nor vanish, D phantom crowd,
Who gracefully move along;
Still closer around me throng,
Forever i fam would keep
Your beauty to compass the mystic bed
Where reveries nestle and dreams are bred.
Draw nearer and enter my closing eyes,
That closed they may see you AZ ain arise
To dance in the halls OF sleep.
