the senses Of insects. There is question that
they possess the sense Of sight. touch, taste,

organ are different from ours. Insects generally
are short-slghted. and see stationary objects i'm

That insects have an acute sense of taste Is
assumed from the way in which they pick out the
sort OF FOOD they want to eat Sir John Lub-
poch niade many experiments from which he
drew the conclusion that ants have an exceIlent
sense OF smell. The same authority states that
insects are able to hear sounds which are en-
tlreiy beyond our range Of perception
AS Tor extra senses ii is observed that many
insects have wonderful sense Of direction
particularly bees furthermore they have the
power to communicate with one another at a dis
lance ana this power seems to corresp pond some
what to what is called tcepathy among human
beings.

the knowledge, that so many forms Of

" removes. That Is why it is the only

effects are due to the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal

If in the enjoyment Of good health,

that today the average man is utterly
upset and undone when his ears catch
the old sweet sound. OF course, this
does not justify nor account for the
current lack of gallantry among men,
but am not engaged in the hopeless
task of restoring men to the old paths,
but in the hopeful one of pointing out
a neglected talent which the most
charming of girls may cultivate with
good results. I am not grumbling.
do not mean to say that the girl of
the period is one whit behind the girl
of the past. I do not believe in the
decadence of women. I believe that
the girl of today is equal to the girl
her mother used to be; but I do not
believe that it is enough to say of our
girls that they are equal to the girls
of the past, any more than it is enough
to soy of flower that has had the
best attention of the best florists for a
generation, that it is as beautiful today
as it was thirty years ago. If
we have done wisely, the girl of today
ought to have not only something
which her mother lacked, but she
ought to have all her mothers graces
as well. But it is a serious question
whether, in pressing her development
we have not cultivated some qualities
at the expense of others, just as ir
pressing the development of a certain
flower we have increased its size anG
beauty at the expense of it's fragrance.
