The Chemistry Glass.


Boston Transcript:
In q certain class in chemistry
there Is young lady who has q
special aptitude In and liking for
that study. The other day, when an
examination was apprehended, this
young lady said to her companions,
out of the.class, of course: "Girls II
you should be asked to explain vapor
density could you do it?" The girls
found that they were unanimously
shsky on vspor density; and so this
proficient young chemist explained
1t all to them of hand, going over 1t
con smore. Sure enough, when the
examination came off, there was q lot
about vapor density. and the girls
were very glad that they had had
their memory logged by their COM
panion. They got through it very
well-all but the young lady who hs d
generously coached her compania MS
and who was so completely rastled by
the examination that the whsle matt
ter of vspor density. which she knew
perfectly we'll. was for the time being
evaporated from her poor head.

WHY.

SHE.
"Why doesn't he writer"
Cried q maiden fair,
AS sne toyed with her wealth
or golden hair
And gazed in the mirror
With q quesnIy air.
"Can he be faithless?
Drive forgotten the night
When he vowed he loved me-
Why doesn't he writer"
"Why doesn't she writer"
Cried q handsome youth,
Whose face was an index
or honor and truth.
'tShe said she would.
And I forsooth,
Have waited aud waited
Day and night.
But no letter comes
Why doesen't she writer"
THE REASON.
Two servants sat
In separate towns :
Two thievish, knavish,
Country clowns,
With unkept hair
And untidy gowns;
In fact they looked
Like regular tramps,
And they tore up some letters
To sell the stamps.

measuring ~ feet In height, Hudson and
he could never meet without squabbling,
and indeed the very sight OF this III as.
sorted pair standing side by side was
enough TO occasion remarks that made
Hudson's blood boil.
One evening, when merrymaking OF
masking frolic was going on ut the palace.
the giant and the dwarf happened 70 meet.
AS usual, an angry quarrel took place.
Evans began TO tease his tiny rival by allu.
kions to pies, venison pastics and the like,
aud In the style OF the well known Goliath
Of Gath, when deriding David, cast reflcc-
tions upon lludSon's diminutive size. Hud-
son, though extremely angry, tried 10 pre-

strutted up TO the giant, whose knee was
about ON n lcyelwith the dwart's head, and
said with an angry stamp:
"Peradventure my friend, you have
never sufficiently considered that the
wren is made by the samc hand that
formed the buStarl, and that the diamond,
though Smas In size, outvalucs ten thou
sand times the granite"
At this sally Evans mighty lungs thun-
dered forth peal of laughter that drowned
the shouts OF the courtiers, and suatching
up the valiant knight he thrust him into
one of his huge pockets, Holding an inn
mense hand over the midget to prevent his
escaping, Evans proceeded to take his
place in the pageant where he was TO per-
form dance, When this was finished he
drew from his pocket big loaf of bread,
which he broke in two, and then from the
other pocket he took the squirmiug IIud-

sprang from hole, and running between

window. from the balcony Of which it sped

that evening over this event. They had
bought a lottery ticket for franc, invest

II the three numbers were drawn they
would win goo, and they had very lively
hopes until Saturday came and defeated
them. AS for the three numbers, they
found them in the numerical equivalent of

The rrehcnsiIe Organs.

The possession Of an effective prehensile
organ-a hand or its equivalent-scems to
be the first great requisite for the rcvolu.
tion Of high order of intellect Man and
the monkeys, for example, have pair OF
hands, and in their case one can see Mt a
glance how dependent Is their intelligence
upon these grasping organs All human
arts base themselves ultimately upon the
human hand, and even the apes approach
nearest to humanity in virtue Of their ever
active and busy little fingers. The cle-
phant, again, has his flexible trunk, which,
as we have all heard over aud over again,
usque ad nauseam, is equally well adapted
topick up pin or to break the great boughs
of tropical forest trees. (That pin, in par.
ticular, is now we'll worn classic)
The squirrel, once more, celebrated for
his unusual intelligence when judged by a
rodent standard, uses his pretty little paws
rs veritable hands, by which he can grasp
nut or fruit all around, and so gain in his
small mind clear conception of its true
shape and properties. Throughout the
animal kingdom generally. indeed, this
correspondence, or rather this chain Of
causation, makes itself everywhere felt;
no high intelligence without a highly de-
veloped prehensile and grasping organ

The Danger OF Too Iuch Exercise.

DR.. Patton, chief surgeon ofthe National
Soldiers home at Dayton, o., said in an in
terview in Pittsburg the other day that, Of
the 5000 soldiers in the Dayton home,
fully 50 per cent, are suffering from heart
disease in one form or another, due to the
forced physical exertion of the campaigns" ("
And he made the prediction that as large
percentage of the athletes Of today will
be found twenty-five years from now to be
victims of heart disease, resulting from the
muscular strains they force themselves to
undergo. AS for the likelihood OF exercise
to prolong life, it may be said that accord
ing to the statistics of NJ. de Solaivile
there are more people living in France to-
day who have passed the age of sixty than
there are in England, the home of athletic
sports. There is probably no nation in
Europe more adverse to muscular cultiva.
tion for its own sake than the French.
Great athletes die young, and a NOR
tality list of Oxford rowing men published
few years ago showed that compara-
lively small percentage of them lived out
the allotted lifetime. Providence Jour
