JEFFERSON'S HARD LUCK STORY.
Vain Efforts to Start Young Man on the

Thomas Jefferson can tell moro hard

even Job over dreamed Of Ho met Peter

result, as given in the Boston Herald:
"Say, Pete" asked Mr.. jefferson sadly,

"Wcll, l have" said Jefferson, land

THE MYSTERY OF LIFE.
An Important Part Played by Carbonic
Acid, Water and Ammonia.

What do we know of life? Carbonic
acid, water and ammonia, when taken
into plant, produce in some way proto.
plasm, which is substance Composed of
minute corpusclcs, and inside each cor
ptlscle there is . smaller body called nu-
cous. BY taxing in carbottc acid, water
and ammonia and converting them into
this compound, called protein, tho plant
maintains its vigor, grows and multiplies.
Tho animal does tho same by taking in the
same compound, with this difference
that, whereas the plant can manufacture
protoplasm out of inorganic matter, tho
animal Is Obliged to procure it ready made
from the plants The Same indicated mass
of protoplasm that is tho unit of plant life
Is the unit of animal life. Tho body and
the plant arc multiples of such units, vari-
ously modified but in their composition
identical.
When the animal dies, tho carbonic acid,
tho water and tho ammonia OF his body are
restored to tho collective stock. Again
they are taken into new plants, and
through now plants into new animals.
Thus protoplasm is the basis Of all life.
1t is built up Of ordinary matter. and Il is
resolved again into ordinary matter.
Plants can make protoplasm out Of Its
component parts animals can convert life
loss into living protopasm. This is the
only difference between man and plant
as regards their making. How all this is
done we have not tho remotcst notion. All
that we know is that it is done. Remove
tho carbon, tho oxygen, the hydrogen and
tho nitrogen, which form carbonic acid,
water and ammonia, from the globe, and
all vitality, whether animal or vegetable,
would disappear from it. When brought
together under certain conditions, they
give rise to protoplasm, and this protoplasm
produces all tho phenomena Of life.-Lon-
don Truth.

people know. Two Of them were recently

A century or two ago books wore much

pupils their lessons.
The two boards are numbered 80 and

They are split and worm eaten, and their
warped and stained appearance shows their
