 Clever Werk of Auts Survival of the Fittest.
 From the New York SunI All creation below man is in a state of war, and any creature that cannot take care of itself quickly falls an unpitied victim. Those that have teeth or claws or stings fight with them, and those that have none of these are driven to seek safety by aping the appearance and manner of some better endowed relative. Butterflies in general are most helpless creatures, but some of them are possessed of a pecu- liar defense. They have bad taste. Birds that try to eat them find them selves i'll, and naturally stop the feast. Now, the uniform of such butterfly is a valuable protection, and the sweet and edible butterflies that live in the same fields avails themselves of it. If the favored butterfly is red, some but terfiies that ought, perhaps, to be vel low are found arrayed in a shade of red which is pretty close match of the one copied. If the poisonous one has a marked spot on his wings, the imitator will grow spot somewhat like it, and even when the first has so distinctive 6 mark as a swallow-tail wing, the poor hunted cousin is not discouraged. but sticks out an imitation spike at the end of his wing, in the hope of deceiving the eye of the ever watchful sparrow who is after him.
 It is not every individual of 8 hunted species that changes in this way. If

With My Pipe.

| NlbH WY lPts When the wind blows cold and shrill! through the black December night And the oak logs pile the chimney ant the flame is leaping bright; When the witch tales are in order ant the children cease their play, I light my pipe contentedly and puff ant puff away!
 Puff, puff, puff! Though the wind the easement cuff
 A full pipe of tobacco | Brings happiness enough! Is sleep the time for dreaming? Well dream my dreams awake; I love the varying visions that wreatf of smoke can make; | The scent of my tobacco makes me rec onciled to stay l In a world which hath no sorrow but a pipe can puff away
 Puff, puff, puff
 Let the world go smooth or rough, A pipe of rich tobacco
 Brings me happiness enough. In the blue smoke round me curling rise the Carolina hills, The sunlight on the meadows and the ripple on the rills; And the valleys of Virginia seem to blossom with the May, And hear the reapers singing as puff and puff away.
 Puff, puff, puff!
 What though fortune should rebuff?
 pipe of fine tobacco
 Brings me happiness enough. Old friends I loved come smiling through each misty wreath that eurls; hear the fddle's music-see the red lips of the girls; The snows of liee's December have 6 rainbow-tlnted ray And sweet face I remember makes me sigh and-puff away!
 Puff, puff, puff!
 Life is rGsy-life is rough;
 But a pipe of sweet tobacco
 Brings me happiness enough. But I smile, for I'm contented, and no visions can provoke When the frosty air is scented with old- time tobacco smoke; The glrlS loved are niaff1ed, ana thelF golden locks are gray; Be my blessing to them carried as puff and puff away!
 Puff, puff, puff!
 Let the wind easement cuff:
 A pipe of rare tobacco
 Brings me happiness enough!

did not stop until he was well hidden behind twig.
 After this it may be a shock to learn that all these clever disguises, of which only a few are mentioned, are assumed without any aid from the insects con- cerned, for they are entirely incapable of giving any. The only explanation Is the theory of natural selection, on which scientists base not only such changes as these but the whole develop ment of nature from the jellytish to man. This theory assumes that types are constantly changing from genera tion to generation, sometimes slightly for the worse. In the pressure of the constant war for existence, the individ- uals that have changed for the worse are speedily crushed out. Those that changed for the better, as when spider appeared that looked like an ant, are likely to live and to produce them selves. This is called the survival of the Attest.

frost, and this quality he believes he Island hills of Cumberland, City En- gineer Shedd of Providence and F. c, Perry of the Pawtucket public works department both speak with enthusiasm of this material. The stone is an iron-stone and very hard and tough. It is easily broken in the erushers, as the fibre runs evenly, while 1t pos- sesses a great resisting power to the dtsintegrating action of the weather These qualities are seldom found em- bodied in one rock. It breaks in small cubes, and the detritus formed by the slow grinding makes it very cohesive. The ridge from which the stone is taken Is about 60 feet high and 600 long, and is known as Iron mountain. In the meadows south of it boulders containing the iron-stone are freely distributed. The cost of getting 1t out and shipping for road use would un- aoupteuly De nigh, but It would De offset by the saving in repairs, En- gineer Dart, who is in charge of high ways at Providence, being of the opinion that roads made of the Iron Mountain stone would last three times as long as those of any other known material. There is some talk of rum
 
 hing single-traek line to the quarry from the New Haven or the New York and New England railroad. Crushers could be put up, and the stone pre- pared on the spot and shipped to Bos- ton, Providence, and other cities at moderate cost when the demand for the material is considered.

has been deaf to remonstrance, cold te
 appeal and impervious to ridieule and
 scorn. Her attitude has been one of
 intense satisfaction with herself and her
 hat and of utter disregard of the rights
 and the convenience of the man behind
 her. Now Man, driven to desperation by her attitude and her hattitude is
 going to invoke the protection of the
 law. He is going to lie down on the
 constitution, which guarantees him an
 equality in rights.
 What a pity that the world should
 be obliged to look on such a spectacle!
 And what pity that Woman has so
 forgotten her duty and her obligations
 as to make such a spectacle necessary,
 or even possible. How much better it
 would have been if she had not been
 so obstinate. If, when she first be- came aware that her big theatre hat was detracting from the admiration and the respect due her, and was mak- ing her appear selfish and savage, she had promptly and cheerfully renounced 1t how sweet she would have seemed. How cursing would have turned to blessing and rage to repentance. But she has failed in a great crisis and must take the consequences of her fail ure. She has brutally announced, by word and action, that her big theatre hat is more to her than the comfort and the rights of Man. She does not care for the lowering of his moral tone which her big hat has brought about. And most significant and dis tressing of all, she does not care for the loss of his admiration and the de- crease of his respect which her course has caused. The new Woman and the big theatre hat have flourished to- gether. We can abolish one by law, but we can't abolish the other in that way. But we can ask her before 1t is everlastingly too late to sit down and think herself over seriously. She is soon to be deprived of the hat which she has considered such an ornament She will not be able to get it again | even if she seeks it with tears and | strong crying. Man has got his back up and the big hat must go. But there Is an ornament she can have which | will be more becoming to her than | the biggest and most fiaring of hats. It is the ornament of a meek and quiet | spirit-a spirit that will not find delight | in big hats and burly selfshness. That | she may hasten to possess herself of that ornament is the earnest desire of those who have been pained and by her bold preference for such as the big theatre hat

THE RTG rHE1rRN HIT

DO the women of Missouri, Illinois, New York and Connecticut realize what the bills in the legislatures of those States against big theatre hats mean? :? And do the women of other States in whose legislatures similar bills have not been introduced sense the situa- tion? What is underneath the big theatre hats? Woman. And is it really true that Woman has reached such a condition of selfshness and dis regard of the rights of others that legislation is necessary in order to force her into a course of action which the good and kind heart that has been supposed to be located in her beautiful bosom should impel her to? It looks very much like it, If it is so Woman is not what she has been painted to be by those who have pictured her as the angel a little lower than which is man. For long time she has cruelty persisted in the big theatre hat. She

UNBELIEVABLE.

The people of this country take great
 pride in their school systems~-that is,
 some of them do. They point to the
 splendid school houses, the costly and
 splendid teachers, the sterilized states
 and books. and the great number of
 things taught. But there are those who
 occasionally heave an old-fashioned sigh and wish that the wonderful school
 systems would bring forth boys and
 girls who could read, write, spell and
 ''flgger' as well as the products of the
 country district schools of New Eng
 land forty years ago could. Those ! country schools didn't have much style
 about them. They were deficient in the l quality of their music and drawing,
 though there was plenty of both, such
 as 1t was. They abounded in corporal | punishment" which is now as much de-
 spised and rejected by educators as 1t | formerly was by those who were edu- cated by it. And the slates and books |
 no. They were handed down from one
 generation to another, carrying enough
 bacteria to give occupation to a State Board of Health. But there were no
 State Boards of Health in those days, and nobody knew that there were bac-
 teria. So there were peace and safety, and economy in what are now elegantly known as school supplies.
 But rude as those district schools were, rude as many of the boys and girls in them were, and rude as some of the teachers in them were, there were some things which were usually taught well and thoroughly in them. The chill dren in the first class could read almost as well as the children in our high schools. They could spell quite as well. They could cipher quickly and accu- rately, and they could write pretty well. From what we have seen of the work of many products of the public school system of New Haven we feel willing to say that all the elaborate and san itary machinery of that system doesn't | turn out any better work than the old l district schools did. And in reading, | writing, spelling and figuring" the su- periority appears to us to be with the | old schools. Especially distressing is | the way the new school boys and school l girls spell. How some of the High l School gentlemen who have surprised and honored this office with literary contributions can invent the spelling they wallow in is as mysterious and | amazing as is their handwriting. Per haps the children in the grammar schools can spell better. We hope so If they can spell any worse they ought not to be allowed to.
 And so forth and so on. It would be a good thing if our school systems pro vided for an ordinary education instead of such an extraordinary one as they now aim at It is fire to see the war 1n the bacteria that formerly luxuriated on the school books and States. So per sh all the enemies of the public health But if the bacteria of reading, writing, spelling and figuring" could be more cultivated and transmitted han they are the old fogies who had 70 be thoroughly infected with them many years ago would rejoice

There are some smart boys in Massa- chusetts. The Massachusetts school law does not permit the schools to be kept unless the thermometer registers above 45 degrees in the school room. Under this law one school in Worcester has had many half holidays. Finally the teacher discovered a six-year-old boy packing the thermometer with snow below the bulb.

Advertising is good thing, but there can be too much of it. A dry goods merchant in Germany is in trouble be- cause of his sensational methods of advertising. Tn one instance he an- nounced that he was able to undersell all competitors because his goods were procured for him a by force of seven teen thieves whom he employed to steal from the other stores. He had to humbly acknowledge in court that the advertisement was only trade puff and that the thieves existed only in his imagination.

The remonstrance against woman suf- frage by two hundred and ten women prominent in social, charitable and edu- cationaI affairs presented to the Massa- chusetts legislature, says, among other things: Because we regard it as another step in the direction of inn posing the full suffrage of women on the same conditions on which it is ex- ercised by men, we object to having a change in the State constitution of such vital importance thrust upon us by the legislature by successive steps, without consent taken of the persons affected, or even of the present con- stituency. Because we regard suffrage as a duty involving certain obligations which we have no wish to assume be- lieving their full exercise by the ma jority of women to be incompatible with the proper fulfillment of the equal ly important duties which none but ourselves can perform; because we re- gard such exercise by small majority of women, as is at present the case with school suffrage, as useless, and even mischievous, since it involves the creation of a large class of inactive voters, we wish to be represented by no such minority, believing that our interests are safe within the hands of our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons.

to the head at each side, the loops down towards the ears and the ends rising slightly. Such designs are very taste ful, but it almost always proves that as fashion begins to look really pret- ty, eXaggeration comes and kills it. k Of the two hats presented in this sketch, the left is made of puffed brown mirror velvet for the brim, with a high jet crown. The garniture consists of brown velvet ribbon and a white aig- rette. Next to it there is displayed a round hat of black felt trimmed with black and white feathers and black mirror velvet. The latter encircles the crown and forms bows, in the back and front. The brim is slashed and turned up in the back.
 Hats for the coming spring are to be mostly little close affairs of rough straw. There is usually a tendency to make the hat for a transition season of the toque order. A great many cos- tunes to be worn on the street in early spring will include a hat of the tam fashion, made of material to correspond with the dress. This is a very good idea. Such hats suit any season and kind of weather, and offer an easy change from the fur, velvet and felt of the winter hat, to the lace, straw and gauge of summer fashion.
