A Mystery.

A curious mystery Is the temporary I'm
easiness of animals about an hour before
dawn, no matter at what hour this occurs.
Children turn and moan, elderly people
awaken and turn over for another sleep,
cooks crow, dogs become uneasy, and
horses and cattle move about for a short
period, when stiffness returns for a time.
What is the causef
Are the animals affected by some mag
netio wave which precedes sunlight an
hour or SO. or is the habit one of heredity
passed down through numberless genera
tions from an original wild state, when
an alertness just before daylight was nee
essary for protection from enemies?-

Womans most glorious endowment is
the power to awaken and hold the pure

she loses it and still loves on, no one in
the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The woman who suffers
from weakness and arrangement of her

power to sway the heart of man. Her

cordial understanding, not only in
respect to the future of China, but
also in re spect to the developments

The understanding is a benevolent
