An 1mperious Appetite.
The handspring of all human effort is the
necessity of providing sustenance for the
individual and for those who are dependent
upon him. When this need is satisfied, a
certain proportion of the community look
beyond and forward and take measures to
provide for the unproductive season of old
age. With smaller number accumulation
becomes passion "A controlling desire main
ly for its own sake or for the power which
such Accommodations confer upon their pos
SCISSORS. From this number are recruited the
