Tolstors False views Of women.

The story OF 'The Kreutzer Sonata"
seems to have been written for the pur.
pose OF showing that woman is at fault;
that she has no right to be attractive, no
right to be beautifully and that she is
morally responsible for the contour OF
her throat, for the pose of her body, for
the symmetry of her limbs, for the red Of
her lips, and for the dimples of her
cheeks. The opposite Of this doctrine is
hold people responsible for their ugliness
than for their beauty. 1t ma be true
that the soul, the mind, 10 some won
drons way fashions the body, and that to
that extent every individual is re-
spousible for bis looks. 1t may be that
the man or woman thinking high
thoughts will give, necessarily, nobility
to expression and beauty to outline. 1t
is not true that the sins Of man can be
laid justly at the feet Of woman. Wo-
men are better than men; they have
responsibilities; they bear the burdens of
Joy. This is the real reason why their
faults are considered greater. Men and
women desire each other, and this desire
is condition Of civilization, progress and
happiness, and of everything of real
value. Bat there is this profound differ
enee in the sexes; in man this desire is
the foundation OF love, while in woman
love is the foundation of this desire.-R.

n-ausnea, wolf story.

An old wolf who had become deaf and
hind from weight Of years, having oc-
casion to make journey through Tor
est caused one of his young ones 70 go
before him, taking the young one tai
IN his mouth to guide him. 4
In this way the old wolf made very
rood progress through the woods; but q
passing hunter, seeing the strange pro
cession. fired at the young wolf =
The shot missed his body. but cut on
the Young VOLTS tail, and the animal,
greatly frightened, ran off as fast as his
legs could carry him.
The old wolf, who, of course, mad
neither heard nor seen anything OF the
affair, stood wondering what the young
one was waiting for. Whereupon the
hunter came up, and taking the young
VOLTS detached tail in his hand, started
home with it.
The old wolf trotted along contentedly
after him, and the villagers, seeing the
hunter enter the village with the beast I'D
tow, were greatly astonished.
The wolf was placed in captivity. and
died soon after. And the villagers have
ever since repeated to strangers the story
of this wonderful adventure-which the
strangers are at liberty to believe or not,
as they please. Youths Companion.

A ShreMd Otter.

One day as was standing on the shore
OF Cranberry bog pond saw a large flock
of ducks near the middle of the pond and
soon after discovered three offers in
front of me, but not near enough to shoot.
While watching the maneuvers of the
offers they started down the pond in a
straight line for the ducks. The old
leader struck out lively, leaving his mates
far behind, and as he neared the ducks he
Owed and presently saw one of the
ducks disappear beneath the surface after
a considerable struggle, the remainder of
the flock rising and flying away in great
connection. The otter had gone under
the flock and selected certain duck and
pulled him under. A few minutes later
the otter made his appearance near the
south shore of the pond with the duck in
his meuth.-Forest and Stream.

WHY a Lobster Is Red.

In all crustaceans, as, indeed, in al
most everything in nature, there is a
certain per cent. of iron. Upon boiling
the lobster the iron is oxidized. This
effect is largely due also to the percent
age of muriatic acid which exists natur-
ally in the shell. The chemical change
which takes place here is almost similar
to that which occurs in the burning of a
brick. In boiling lobster its coat ceases
to be living substance, and to certain
extent it takes new character. 1t is as
a brick would be after burning. This
effect can also be produced by the sun,
but necessarily not SO rapidly, as the
heat Of that iuminary, although more
intense, is not concentrated sufficiently
to produce the result. The sun also ex-
ercises bleaching influence, which con
sumes the oxide almost as fast as it is
formed, leaving the shell white or nearly
pure lime. Washington Republic.
