WOMEN.

There are women who are comely,
There are women who are homely,
But be careful how the latter thing you say;
There are women who are healthy,
There are women who are wealthy,
There are women who will always have their
way.
There are women who are truthful,
There are women who are youthful
Was there ever any woman that was Old:
There are women who are painted,
There are women VIII o are sainted,
There are women who are worth their weight
in gold
There are women who are tender.
There are women who are slender,
There are women who are very large and tat

There are women who are married.
There are women who have tarred,

The Jelly Fish Is a wonder Too.

The jellyfsh lays thousands Of tiny
eggs, which, being covered with natural
oars in the shape of numerous hairs, row
themselves into some quiet place and
settle down to await further develop
ments. These eggs do not turn to jelly
fish any more than the butterfy's eggs
turn to a butterfly. First stem springs
from each and then the stem subdivides
into numerous branches, each branch
being covered with tiny cups, the mouth
pf each surrounded with small arms
technically called "tentacles." This, is
the first stage Of the jellyfsh's life.
Now comes the wonderful part of the
story. AS the warm weather advances
this stem, which grew from the original
egg and branched out like vegetable
growth, begins to bud, and from each
bud minute speck of animal life springs
forth. It is the young jelly fish swim
ming out to test the doctrine of 'ssur-
vival of the fttest," and to do battle
with the innumerable other forms of or
ganized beings.-St. Louis Republic.

One Disadvantage of Civilization.

Generally speaking, the more civilized
and refined races are more sensitive to
pain than barbarous and uncivilized
races. Anew Zealander has been known
to chop off his great toes SO that he
might get on pair of boots which had
been given to him. On one occasion a
native Australian came to settlement
to get a wooden leg, his own leg being
burned away at the knee. It had been
wounded SO severely that amputation
was necessary, and as his tribe had nc
appliances to stop the flow of blood his
leg had been simply burned off.
