In the Struggle For Life.

In tropical countries, where the strug' gle for life seems to rage even fercer than in the temperate regions, vast number of animals have been driven by want to seek their livelihood in the dark through stress of competition. There are the howler monkeys, for example, who make night hideous in large tracts of South American forest, beginning their dismal music as soon as evening sets in and only retiring for the day as dawn purples the horizon.
 There are the lemurs of Madagascar, So called because, like ghosts, they walk by night and withdraw at cockcrow- strange, stealthy, noiseless creatures, with great, wistful, poetical eyes and en- larged pupils; monkeys that prey on birds and insects in the gloomy depths of their native forests. There is the slen- der loris, graceful and beautiful beast, with eyes like gazeile's, but treaeher- ous manners, who pounces upon birds as they sleep in their little nests, creeping silently upon them from behind like an Indian upon the warpath, and affording no indication of his hateful presence til he is within arms reach of his slumber- ing victim.
 These are but few of the nocturnal mammals of the monkey and lemnr type, ancient ancestors of our own, gone wrong through keeping such very late hours, and now stranded for the most part in islands or peninsulas of extreme antiqui- ty.-Cornhill Magazine,

serious Side of French DueIipg.

Ever since the day when Mark Twain gave the American world his famous picture of the French duel. Americans have laughed at 1t and classed it with so much that is mock heroic and harmlessly tragic in the French character. And yet the French duel IS a very serious thing in France, and particularly in the capital Every day in Paris there are two duels fought, and 20 per cent of these result fatally or with serious and permanent bodily injury. But these eases rarely attain publicity.
 The duel is a serious thing in Paris for three reasons. First, because of the triviality of the causes of these encoun- ters. Secondly, because they are coun. tenanced and justified by the law. Thirdly, because, being upheld by social custom and the French sense of honor, men are forced to duel or face utter dis grace in their respective circles of so- ciety and even in their own families Providence Journal.

Several Shades of Green

In Morrison, Ills, there lives a gentle man by the name of Green. It is now some 20 years since Mir. Green became the delighted father of an infant daugh- ter. In moment of gay facetiousness, inspired by his joy, he named the baby Olive. It was not many years before Mir. Green was once more a father Again it was an infant daughter, and the sub tIe poison of that first christening hav- lng worked in his blood he named the second one Myrtle. A third time the joys of paternity became Mir. Greens, and third infant daughter was added to his household The father set his teeth grimly. got out the family Bible, and wrote in firm hand "Ivy Greenp He furthermore assured his friends that if he should be presented with a son and heir he should look out for the young ster's future by naming him Apple Green" for then no daughter of Eve could ever resist him.-Exchange.

A Tudor Gallant.

A gallant's toilet was no easy busi- ness, and slow or clumsy servant, no doubt, got many an oath and blow if he failed to tie up the points of the hose, lace the donblet or arrange the stom- acher and frilled shirt 10 his masters satisfaction A gentleman's dress had % many fastenings, there was so much tying and lacing of his garments to- gether. that it was impossible that be should ever get costumed (sic) without assistance. The long hose had to be se- curely lied by number of latchets 10 the doublet; the doublet itself was laced up the front, and tho sleeves, being slashed to show the aairtsleeyes, had also to be laced sometimes.

An Armenian Legend.

Early in the morn ing, while all the valleys of Ararat and tho neighboring mountains ege buried fn shadow. the white top of fine Scrip tural mountain gleams beautiful in .ha first beams of the sun.
 The Armenian people tell this story about the inhabitants of Pharbce;
 Once the devil and a Pharbee man laid wager as to which should iirat sec the sun. The one who SAW 1t first was to box the others ears. Very well, said tho Armenian, and he lay down and slept sweetly, while the dew il, itching to punish his enemy stood looking eastward, and with eager eyes watched the whole night for theeuBrisa. Early in the morning, the Pharbee man rose, and pointing 10 the top of Ararat, which was already shining in the sun, cried joyfully, " l sec itl" Tho devil was vanquishcd The Pharbee man, with his strong hand, boxed the devils ears. Ever since that time, tho devil has been afraid of the people of the Ar menian village of Pharbee. Woman g Journal

But She ranch in Che olden time was a cottonwood loghouse to cook in, and for roof and protection from tho weather Che slicker was used and mother earth supplied their beds
 Tho broad range and tha oyerhanging sky answered for hopae and home. 4 roundup in lS85-S0 was not bounded by wire fouces, but tho boys gallopcd out of camp after breakfast, made wide sweep, and all then drove toward 8 common center, aud lol directly at that point was gathered a herd of stock eat tlo of all brands, ready for tue cut to begin

wrsoks and Salvage.

Tine Salvage association had a standing contract with divers, and year after year. when noth- ing more remuneratiye was on hand, the diving cutters would sail out from Whit stable for the wreck
 When the news of the loss of this ves- sel was first received, some chagrined un- derwriters made known to the Salvage association that in a box in the captains cabin was 8 jcweled hunting knife yalued at e7,000, belonging to a Portuguese no- bleman. The exact spot in which the box was bestowed was carefully explained to the divers, but all their efforts to find it were in vain, or SO they affirmed. Lead they could see in plenty and quicksilver, but nothing at all resembling a box with a jewel hilted knife in 1t. At this stage, however, they were paid not by results, but by time, and it suggested itself that the thickness of the water might beclear- ed by the offer of a special , per cent, or e350, for the recovery of the knife, and, by singular coincidence, the costly toy was immediately found and brought to the surface.

The Life lli.tetr of ooraI..

The life history of corals is sufficiently remarkable inits sober facts. Like other animals, they produce eggs, from which free swimming young are matched. But they have two other methods of propa- gation--namely, genmation and fissi- parity. Between animals and plants in general there is no distinction which makes itself more prominent and ob- trusive than the free individual life of the ono and the fixed colonial life of the other. By gemmation, the successive putting forth of buds, an industrious vegetable, starting with seed of insig- nificant size, may build a massive struc- ture, sometimes 400 feet in height, the resultant cf individuals almost innumeT- able, belonging to hundreds or thousands of generations, all of them the living members of a single family, successively sacrificing their individuality to promote the common good and to share it.
 This procedure in plant life is illus trated by an endless diversity of exam pies, great and small. Whatever excep- tions there may be, this, to the ordinary observer, is the customary the common place. the distinctive habit in the vegca table kingdom. Thus 1t came to pass that men did not believe their own eyes when they met with animals behaving in way that seemed to be tho patent right of vegetables. The isolated sea anemone was well understood, but crea. lures of precisely similar structure, which took to sprouting out of stems and branches, had to be incontinently handed over to the botanist Edinburgh Review.

Rem meving class stonnsrs.

Sometimes it is very difficult to re- move a glass stopper from a bottle. A cloth wet in hot water generally is sufficient, but if this fails, remember tho principle is 10 expand the neck of the bottle by heat and not the stopper
 With hot water the latter is often heat ed equally with the neck, and thus the desired effect is not produced. By hold ing the neck of the bottle about half an inch above the flame of lamp or cam de, however, in few seconds the most obstinate cork will generally come out. Care must be taken to turn the bottle rapidly and not allow tho flames to touch the glass, as it might crack it. When the glass is thoroughly heated, a steady pull and twist will almost al- ways bring out the stopper. Exchange.
