How Hans Got Even.

Once on a time there lived a jovial
Dutchman, whose name was Hans Won
Shrimpeuifel. He had a wife. lie had a
grocery where beer and such personal prop
erty were sold. He gave credit to parcel
of dry customers, and kept his book with
piece of white chalk on the headboard of
the bedstead.
One day Mrs. Shrimpetifel, during neat
fit, took upon herself to clean the house
and things. So she did, and she cleaned
the headboard, and with soap and water
settled the old mans account by wiping
away every chalk mark.
Before long the old vender of things
came into his house aud saw what ruin
his frau had wrought. Then he said:
"Mein Colt, Frau Shrlmpetifel, what for
You make a ruined man of me? You make
wipe away all them names and figures

His frau left the room in fear and dis
gust. When she returned he had recov-
cred the headboard with chalk marks.
Then she said;

CRYSTALS and Animals.

Ore of the greatest mysteries in the
world is the growth of crystals, and one OF
the most delightful occupations in the
world is the search for some of the crystal
line forms that adorn the museums of
geology and mineralogy. There is some
thing almost startling in the suggestion OF
lifelike forces presented by the regular
shapes of many crystals. A contributor
recalls with thrill of interest the summer
afternoon when he found the first native
specimen he had ever picked up.
1t was large crystal of troostite-a min
eral containing zinc and manganese-and
as the breaking of the containing rock re-
vealed one of its pointed ends, and the
beautifully formed angles of its long, flesh
coloreG sides, it seemed almost living
thing suddenly released from imprison-
ment.
The resemblance between crystalline
growth and the growth of animals and
plants is especially striking in regard to
the power of healing and repairing in
juries This resemblance was dwelt upon
by Professor Judd in lecture before the
Royal institution in London.
Ifsome of the lowest and simplest animals
are torn asunder they are not killed, but
edcn separate pdTG grows lnLO perfect an
imal. In plants this power is much more
completely developed, while crystals pos
sess it to remarkable degree. 1t has even
been shown that a crystal which has been
injured will, under certain circumstances,
suspend its growth over the remainder of
its surface until the injured part has been
repaired. Yet there is no real life in the
crystal, but simply a force which causes its
particles to arrange themselves in geomet-
rical forms.-YoQth's Companion.
