newspaper writing. Most newspaper
Offices are beset with applications
from girls, matured women and young

who suppose that newspaper work Is

the faintest idea that every newspaper
writer of even moderate success has to

There are many strange things in ma
<lite. The spider spins its ladder out
Of itself. When it ascends it eats the
tadder; when it wants to go down it
spits 1t out again. There are plants
which eat animals. They have mouths
and stOmachs. If u fly falls on one of
these, it shuts up and begins at once to
digest it. Having done so, it opens
again ready for another meal. The
teaves are the lips. The opOssum has
pockets. In its side-pockets this ami
nal carries its young, ''If the cat had
only been provided with pockets, she
would not have to carry her kittens in
her mouth by the back of their necks."
1t is said that the huma never alights.
There are sea-birds which can roost on

would be exceedingly inconvenient. So
