The Love Of Men and Women.

II the progress Of population had been
continuous from the remote periods OF an
tiauity, 1t is evident that the numbers OF
mankind would he much greater than they
are, and the globe would be already over
stocked with human beings. But other
causes, not less mysterious In their opera
tion. have checked that progress. Many Of
the populous countries Of antiquity have
become depopulated and apparently unable
TO support life. IL is uncertain whether at
the present moment the population of the
globe is greater than IL was 1000 or 5000
years ago. There is congestion in Europe,
In India and in China, there are innumer-
able tribes in central Africa on whom even
the slave trade makes no perceptible Inn

But the vast plains Of Asia, which
swarmed with men under the Assyrian,
Baby ylonian and Persian empires, are de

which swept over the Roman empire in ths
earlier centuries Of the Christian era. But

A pretty fable about the pansy is cur
rent among French and German chill
dren. The flower has five petals and five
sepals. In most pansies, especially of
the earlier and less highly developed
varieties. two of the petals are plain in
color and three are gay. The two plain
petals have single sepal, two of the
gay petals have sepal each, and the
third, which is the largest of all, has two
sepals The fable is that the pansy rep
resents family consisting Of husband
wife and four daughters. two of the lat
ter being stepchildren of the wife.
The plain petals are the stepchildren,
with only one chair; the two small gay
petals are the daughters, with chair
each, and the large gay petal is the wife,
with two chairs. To find the father one
must strip away the petals until the
stamens and pistils are bare. They
have a fanciful resemblance to an old
man with a flannel wrap about his neck
his shoulders upraised and his feet in a
bathtub.-Detroit Free Press.
