EVEN NUNS ARE VAIN.

Theophilus Great Head, Keen Observer,
Discourses on the Vanity OF All Women.
Women" said Theophilus Great
Head, "are naturally vain over their
physical charms. There is no getting
around it, sir. Permit me to recon-
mend this Glenlivet."
And Theophilus smiled knowingly
and nodded to the waiter.
"Yes, SIR" he resumed, being an
unusually keen observer, watched
two nuns who sat opposite to me in
Broadway car coming up town. Both
were demure, sanity looking women.
The bands of snowy linen over their
foreheads and the funeral blackness
of their attire gave them look which
to an ordinary observer transcribed
all things of earth
Zone of the nuns had the loveliest
hands / ever saw on woman. The
fingers were delicately tapered. the
nails showed the half moons which
manicures so much delight in. and the
blue veins coursed and ebbed through
them. And, believe me, sir, that
woman knew it. She lost no oppor-
tunity to show those hands She fold
ed them, moved them about and ges-
ticulated with them in such a way as
to show every grace of outline. And
the other nun had teeth which were
simply radiantly beautiful. She would
smile at every opportunity, and even
when she was saying nothing she
would keep her lips away from the
teeth, as If to show their pearly
beauty"
And Theophilus smiled approvingly
on himself and stuck his unusually
small and high-arched foot out where
it would show to the best advantage

Mr.. Gould has given the accompany

by him in Australia:
II observed it throughout the dis
trict of the Upper Hunter, as well as In
every part of the interior, breeding in
various localities, wherever suitable
situations presented themselves; some.
times their nests are constructed in the
cavities Of decayed trees; while not in
frequently clusters of them are at

rivers, the sides of rocks, etc, general

bottle-shaped nest is composed of mud
or clay, and, like that of our common
martin, is only worked at in the morn.
ing and evening, unless the day be wet
and showery. In the constructing OF
the nests these birds appear to work In
small companies, six or seven assisting
in the formation of each nest, one re.

A chimpanzee had been fed on cake

feigned coughing in order to procure
dainEes. The cuckoo, as is well
known, lays its eggs in another birds
nest, and, to make the deception surer,
1t takes away one of the other birds
eggs. Animals are conscious of their
deceit, as shown by the fact that they
try to act secretly and noiselessly; they
show sense of guilt if detected; they
take precautions in advance to avoid
discovery; in some cases they manifest
regret and repentance. Thus bees

GOOD HABITS or WORK.
Once Acquired, They Are Like oil to the
Machinery of Life.

Machinery of Life.
II the time that many of us was in
making up our minds over little mat
ters could be employed in doing some-
thing really useful how much more
would we be able to accomplish AS
with most bad habits, the habit OF in
decision in little everyday affairs Is
the easiest thing in the world to ac-
quire. We think so much OF the small
duties Of life that they get to assume
the most formidable proportions and
in deciding what we shall do about
them we leave ourselves little time for
greater and more ser ious things.
How we envy those people who have
the knack of accomplishing a great
deal without apparent effort WeloolS
at them in wonder, and vainly wish
that we might discover their secret.
1t does not appear difficult. why"
we ask ourselves, "can not we do as
much as they?" But, strive as we may,
We never seem to succeed.
The secret is not hard one to find,
but 1t is hard one to put into prac-
tice, at first, II we have been of the
hesitating, undecided kind. They
have learned to make up their
minds quickly, and then never
to permit themselves to have
any doubts as to the wisdom of
their decisions They do their work
Systematically, and put into each work
ing moment the best that is in them,
without thinking of the result. They
are the people who rise at the same
time each morning and take up their
daily tasks at the same hour every
day. They are the creatures of habit,
but their habits are nearly all good
ones, that lead them in the direct line
of that which they are striving to do.
There is no one factor of success
stronger than that of having acquired
good habits of work. Having once
formed these, we are left free to look
beyond the mere details of the work
and to see how best we may accomplish
that which we have undertaken. 1t is
like playing the piano. At first we
have to study the music and the keys,
and each note we strike requires sep
arate and distinct effort of the will,
but in little while we begin to read
the music readily, and as our fingers
wander over the keys we are not con.
scious of guiding Or directing them.
And this is the way we should learn
to do our work, whatever it may be.
The details of it should never trouble
us, but they should become second
nature.-Harpers Bazaar.

VARIETY IN DIET.
Necessary at All Times for Health. Invalids
Must Have 1t.

Necessary at All Times for Health. Invalids
Must Have 1t.
A number of facts conspire to throw
a somewhat new light on questions Of
dietetics, or at least to show that these
problems are more complex than they
have been by some supposed. 1t has
been usual to speak of mixed diet"
meaning thereby one composed in part
of animal and in part of vegetable
food, one containing proteins, fats and
carbohydrates, approximately in such
proportions as they are required by
the organism; but when we see the
effect upon disease produced by
very small quantities of certain
selected portions of animals common
ly used as food, such as thyroid
gland, suprarenal gland and bone mar
row, the suspicion arises that these are
but the more pronounced expressions
Of widespread principle, and that
such marked differences in therapeu-
tic effect between certain organs may
be associated with similar differences
in nutritional value between the vari-
GUS portions and kinds of meat which
we consume. We may surmise, too,
that the modes of preparation may
have a considerable influence, and
that while cooking may be, as it should
be, a preparation for and an aid to di-
gestion, a certain process in cooking
may do much more harm to the nutri-
t;o,,al ~ fa41 l.
planned by the mere change in it's
physical properties, the hardness,
toughness, etc, which they produce.
The destruction of the antiscorbutic
properties of milk by condensing,
overlooking and sterilization is
case in point. and we commend
to the British farmer the interesting
question whether and how far the pro.
longed freezing of meat may interfere
with its finer nutritional value.
Healthy men, who have great reserve
of digestive power, can derive nutri-
ment from almost any food, but for
people of .feebler frame mixed diet
must mean one in which variety of sub
stance exists of whose nature and
of whose differences we as vet
know nothing. The healthy man, by
taking plenty, finds among it what he
wants, but until we know much more
than we do of the value of different
foods and of different modes of cook
ing, we must at least afford variety to
our invalids, and protect them fromsa
monotony in diet which may perchance
be debarring them from the one thing
needful for their nutrition.-Brit

Signs In BOSTON.

There is no end to the literature of
amusing signs, even in Boston, where
erudition undoubtedly extends t., the
commercial classes. There is a ''home-
made bakery" on certain stree, which
continually excites the listeners in
terest as to what factory-made bak-
cry may be. But this establishment
is no funnier than the 'plainless den
tai parlor" on another street, which
makes us feel glad that the "parlor"
suffers no pain, no matter what the
dentists patients may have to endure.
But perhaps the climax is capped by
the sign of the Cambridge cobbler, who
announces, "Tap your boots while you
wait for fifty cents" Some poor chaps
could have large numbers of boots
tapped while they wait for the half
dollar that never come.-Boston Tran,

compact down. 1t is therefore not diff
cult to arrive at the conclusion that the
beaver is aquatic, and that his princi-
pal occupation is gnawing. The young
are produced in April or May, and in
four or five weeks are able to follow
their mother in the water. The aver
age weight of the adult individual is
about forty pounds; their winter food
consists of bark and the roots of
aquatic plants, especially the yellow
pond-lily. In summer, however, they
go some distance from the water in
search of berries, leaves, etc. This in
offensive creature has suffered long
and severe persecution on account of
his very valuable fur and castoreum.
The latter "a substance secreted in two
sacs near the root of the tail has been
known since very ancient times for its
medicinal properties; it is chiefly used
now to bait beaver traps.
Two centuries ago these animals were
so numerous in what now constitutes
the state of New York, that from 5000
to 10000 skins were annually taken in
that section alone. The trade in beaver
skins was one of the leading induce
ments to the early French and English
colonists to settle in this country The
home of the beaver was once in nearly
all the wooded districts of the northern
hemisphere; at the present time it is
entirely exterminated in many places,
and is scarce in the United States east
of the Mississippi river. Much has been
told of the wonderful building instinct
of the beaver. Working only in the
night, it is not easy to know the exact
manner in which this little engineer
proceeds, but in the morning the
amount of work accomplished speaks
for the diligence of this builder OF
dams, canals and houses, or lodges" as
their babitations are termed. The
canals afford an easier mode of trans
portation than dragging the wood
overland, and are dug through clear
ings back to the timber; they are some
times many feet in length, and may be
made on two or three different levels,
