A veracious and Obstructive Composltiop
on the Subject.


An exchange recently printed the
following composition on men which
many women of experience will hearth
ly approve; Men are peculiar; they
wear number ten boots and snore.
This Is what makes ii SO easy to recog-
nlze Il man when you see one. Men
wear hats they are careful OF. aud
carry umbrellas they are not careful
of; when not losing them they are al.
Hays poking them into somebody's
eyes. Men don't gossip but they talk
over the news at their clubs. Men
don't paint or powder (often). but
they raise whiskers that make them
look like Scotch terriers. and coax lit,
tie hair moles to grow on their chins.
Men are not vain. but they never like
the young lady who says they are not
handsome.
Men are consistent They like to
see the dress of lady plain and sim.
pie, hate furbelows and fiummery; but
let lady in plain clothes enter car
where these men are seated, and she
may stand an hour and not one OF
them will offer her "a seat; but when u
lady enters arrayed in the height OF
fashion, every one of them will spring
to his feet and glory in the honor o
standing for her sake, or rather for
the sake of her clothes. Men never
find fault with themselves. not if they
can help it. Adam showed them how
they could help it. and they proftet
by his instruction. Men take cold ant
think they are going to die. and when
you cary them bowl of herb tea,
they turn pale and ask If it is bitter.
and If you don't suppose it would dc
just as well to take it next week
Men don't lead around a poodle dog
with blue ribbon, but they chew to.
bacco and perfume their clothes with
pipe. Men are always wanting a
shirt and when they get one they are
always ready to swear that there il
not button on it. when all the time
the buttons will be there, only they
don't find them. They pull off thei.
boots and forget where they put them.
and pretend they know all about it,
and after they have rummaged around
and turned everything upside down
and looked on all the shelves in the
pantry, in the sewing machine drawer,
and upset your work basket, sit down
and remark that this is deuce of q
house. a fellow never knows when he
gets out of thing when he is going &c
set eyes on it again; and when you
bring his boots that you found right
where he left them he hands you his
slippers and asks if you can't 'jab
them in some out of the way corner
where old scratch would never find
them

A LESSON IN OPTICS.
A Convex or a Concave Lens with Drop
of Water.

Take a goblet of which the bottom
grasp the foot of the glass and incline
the edge toward you after having
emptied into the glass little water
SO that the water resembles a great
drop in the interior of the part not cut
Look at the table cloth through this
drop of water. You will be surprised
to see how easy it has become to count
the threads, for each one of them APP
pears much larger than it is in reality.
The fact is that the drop of water like
the sample shown in the figure, has
taken exactly the form of a by-convex
lens.
If this water does not take on its
upper side the form OF swelling con-
vex surface, but its upper surface re-
mains horizontal, you will have a
plain convex lens.
These two kinds of lens are diverg-
ent. Both have the property of en-
larging objects. Bi-convex lens used
as enlarging glasses are called micro
scopes, and the modest drop of water
permits of examining in detail the diff
ferent parts of plant or an insect that
can be seen with difficulty with the
naked eye.
Look now at the under part of the
glass through one of the sides that are
cut. At this point the glass is con-
clave at the interior and concave at
the exterior; we have then a bi-con-
clave lens like that in the figure or n
plain concave, if the cut wero
straight, instead OF being round.
Now, far from being enlarged. the
thread of the cloth, the insect or the
flower appears much smaller than
they are in reality. which shows that a
plain or bi-concave lens has the prop
erty of reducing the apparent dimen-
sions of objects.
The glasses in spectacles for far
sighted people are bi-concave, with
thick edges, while those for near
