will be over joyed to learn that he has
joined the First NJ. E. Church of San

on the government works. We all
know how strong a Republican he al
ways was and he says in his letter: 81

Republican than ever" The hope is
that he will hold out faithful to the end
and reap his reward.
Mr.. c. R. Beal does not like the lang

lecture but he was assaulted without inst
cause. He is also of the opinion that

ScOtt's HerOine's Generally Young.

Out of thirty of Sir Walter Scott's hero
ines sixteen are described as under TWEEN
ty. OF the other fourteen six are undated.
This leaves us eight three of whom are set
down as over twenty; two start at one side
of the line and are carried over to the
other; two are by implication rather than
by the intention of the author taken out
Of their "teens," and one, Amy Robsart,
Is a heroine 'of an uncertain age" since
she is historically middle aged matron
and fictitiously youthful bride. OF the
six undated, the presumption is altogether
in favor of the earlier age. A member
once entertained club with the state
ment that nearly all Scott's heroines are
motheress.
They are girls who have grown up in the
companionship of uncles or fathers, older
men, and with an early responsibility of
thought and action. They have had to
plan their own wardrobes and decide upon
their own conduct toward their lovers.
Some of them have been behind the scenes
of stirring political events. Nearly all
have been thrown into situations where
they had to think for themselves, to act
with decision and in general to fulfill the
whole duties of heroines The heroines of
Scott are, some of them, only lay figures,
but at least so far as they have character
they are women, and they justify the deeds
which are done to win them.

The Largest Flower in the World.

In Mindinac, the farthest southeastern
island in the Philippine group, upon one
of its mountains, the volcanic Apo, a
party of botanical and autographed
explorers found recently, at a height of
$500 feet above the sea level, a colossal
flower. The discoverer, DIR, Alexander
Schadenberg, could scarcely believe his
eyes when he saw amid the low growing
bushes the immense buds of this flower
growing like gigantic cabbage heads.
But he was still more astonished when
he found a specimen in full bloom, five
petaled flower nearly yard in diameter,
as large as a carriage wheel, in fact.
This enormous blossom was borne on a
sort of vine creeping on the ground.
The native who accompanied DR..
Schadenberg called it "bolo." The party
had no scale by which the weight of the
flower could be ascertained but they
improvised swinging scale, using their
boxes and specimens as weights. Weigh
ing these when opportunity served, 1t was
found that a single flower weighed over
twenty-five pounds. 1t was impossible
to transport the fresh flower, so the
travellers photographed it and dried a
number of its leaves by the heat of fire.

A Matter Of Money.

Young people of both sexes should
early be taught the use of money, and
to rightly know its value they should
be given ways of earning it, to spend,
within reasonable limits, as they choose.
Much of the work which even little
children do in the shape of chores
around the house ought to be paid for,
as perhaps a better way of getting
money into child's hand than any
other. 1t is very demoralizing to beg,
and the child that is encouraged or even
allowed to get its spending money in
this way is laying up poor foundation
for after life. On the farm the means
for earning money should as much as
possible be based on farm operations.
When the boys see in their own pockets
some OF the money made by farming,
they will take more interest in their
daily work. Unless parents who are
farmers desire to discourage their sons
from following this business, they
should be allowed to do something each
year on their own account and have
the money they thus make. The little
thus earned early by themselves will
be worth hundred times as much as
if left to them after the death of their
parents, who had previously kept them
ignorant of any practical knowledge of
the value of money and its uses.-

creditors had little hope of getting any

Last scene of all
That ends this strange eventful history;
Sans teeth sans eyes, sans taste, sans ever
thing. ~
COmmunistic Insects.

Never among mankind can we find so
absolute and complete an absorption of
the individual by the social group as in
the cities of ants and bees, where indi-
vldual property has never, it seems,
been imagined. In these republics,
what one citizeness has for herself be-
longs to the others. Does a hungry
bee meet one laden with booty return
ing to city, she lightly taps her on the
head with her antenn9, and instantly
the latter hastens in sisterly way to
disgorge part of the nutriment provis-
lonally stored in her own stomach. Ants
proceed in the same way as bees, but
IN addition the ant thus sustained is
very careful to show her gratitude.
"The ant who feels the need of food"
says Huber, "begins by tapping her
two antenn@, with very rapid move
ment, upon the antenn9 of the ant
from whom she expects succor I'm
mediately they may be seen approach
ing one another with open mouth and
extended tongue, for the communica-
ton OF the liquid which one passes to
the other. During this operation, the
ant who receives nourishment does not
cease to caress the friend who is feed
ing her, continuing to move her an
tenn@ with singular activity" The
collective system of property must have
lasted among ants and bees for many
thousands OF years; for, apart from
cases of decentralization, such as NAV
for example, be produced among bees
by giving them taste for drunken
ness, these intelligent insects show the
most absolute Difference and devotion
to social property. Their primitive
selfishness has broadened out into a
collective or patriotic egotism. But
these very social species, with their
more than Christian charity, have not
reached this high degree of civilization
at one bound. In the ant and bee
worlds, as in our own, there are sava-
ges. There are still at the present
time certain species of ants ignorant of
the divisions of labor, carried 80 far
among their civilized congeners. Prop

Why People Lose Weight in Summer.

To most persons the summer season is
a time of excitement instead of quiet
rest, as it should be. With the approach
of warm weather most people begin to
lay plans for vacations and enjoyments,
and In little while have worked them
selves into a state of excited anticipa-
ton. Not only this, but they undertake
excursions requiring considerable travel,
either by land or water, 80 that during
the heated term they have completely
departed from the quiet paths of life
trodden so steadily all the rest of the
year.
Now it is well known fact that the
majority of people lose weight during
the summer. This loss is generally ac-
counted for by the smaller quantity of
food consumed during warm weather,
but we should say that the excitement
incidental to vacations and travelling
was as much responsible for it as the
other. 1t is a question if our Indian
summer, the most charming season of
the year, would not make better vaca-
ton period for the majority of people.

Our Only Day.

Were this our only day,
Did not our yesterdays and morrows give
To hope and memory their interplay,
How should we bear to live?
Not merely what we are,
But what we were and what we are to be,
Make up our life-the far days each a star,
The near days nebul@.
At once would love forget
Its keen pursuits and coy delays of bliss
And its delicious pangs of fond regret
Were there no day but this.
And who. to win friend,
Would to the secrets of his heart invite
A fellowship that should begin and end
Between day and night2
Who, too, would pause to pirate
OF insult, or remember slight or scorn,
Who would this night lie down to sleep with hate,
Were there to be no morn?
who would take heed to wrong,
TO misery's complaint or PHYS call,
The long wall of the weak against the strong,
II this one day were all?
And what were wealth with shame,
The vanity of office, pride of CASTE
The why sparkle of the bubble fame,
II this day were the last2
Ay, what were all days worth,
Were there no looking backward or before
If every human life that drops to earth
Were lost forevermore?
But each day is link
OF days that pass and never pass away;
For memory and hope-to live, to think
Each is our only day

Yes and No.

In the speech of 80 highly developed
a people as the Celts, there is no equiv
alent to "yes;" thus it happens that
you shall never hear an Irish waiter
pronounce the shibboleth "yessir" of
his English confrere, for he invariably
expresses an affirmative by some such
phrase as, " shall, sirl" at is, strip
Yet among some uncivilized tribes not
only is there word expressing "yes,"
but it assumes different form according
to the sex or age of the speaker. Thus
among the Abipones of South America,
as Dobrizhoffer informs us, for "yes "
the men say hee, the women say haa

and the old men give grunt. This is
refinement which we Aryans have
decided, perhaps rightly, to be unnec-
essary; for though our "ay" and
nayl" carry no more information now
than the Sanskrit hi and ma did many
thousands of years ago, they are quite
sufficient for all practical purposes.
But the Abipones might feel as much
embarrassed by the use of our sexless
affirmative and negative syllables as
we should do in attempting to express
our meaning in the language of the
Grebo tribes of West Africa, in which
the use of personal pronouns is dis
pensed with, and gesture is employed
to show whether a verb is in the first,
second or third person.-BldcktCood's
