terday, in the fierce heat steam roller
promenaded before our door. Twas a
most fashionable and coquettish steam
roller for it carried bright blue UNI
brella spread above its head. That the
man who guided the machine could keep
in solid form sitting near that furnace on
such a day affords strong proof of human
endurance.

A tiger will spring upon and destroy

A cat will watch for hours and take de-

Each organ in abe human body has its
special function or duty to perform, and

The stomach seizes upon our food, d.

The kidneys, on the other hand, have
different work to do.
Like the cat, they lie in wait and seize
