Orange Blossoms,

The meaning of orange blossoms is
thus designated by traditions: A
Moorish king sent splendid orange
tree as a gift to Spanish monarch.
Never before had such q beautiful
plant bloomed in the royal gardens.
Every one coveted slip, but the King
refused the boon to all. One day a
branch, with all its glossy leaves and
starry blossoms, was accidentally bro
ken off, and the gardener gave it to
his pretty daughter, who was the be-
trothed of q humble artisan. The
girl had no dot, and the wedding
seemed impossible. A foreign embas-
sador who was promenading in the
garden noticed the spray, which the
girl had stuck in her jetty tresses. In
exchange for the coveted treasure he
offered her a sum sufficient for her
dowry. Overjoyed, she accepted, and
the marriage was celebrated.

meet HUSBAND WITH SMILE"
A Rule that Elicits a Protest from Married
Women.
Baltimore News.

ANcWb-
al do wish some one would write q
few rules for men," said young mar
ried woman recently. "Pm awfully
tired of reading in magazines and
newspapers that 1 must meet my hus-
band when he comes home from his
Office pleasantly and cheerfully.'
That the house must be like new
pin, must be prettily gowned, the
dinner must be daintily cooked and
served and that he mustn't be wor'
ried with recital OF the troubles OF
the day, no matter if delirium super
venes for me.
"These precepts are all right theo-
retically, and under ordinary circum-
stances are practical. Every woman
follows them instinctively who wishes
to retain her husbands admiration,
but why aren't there few laws of this
sort laid down for men to follow?
"Why isn't there some one to tell
them to look cheerful when they come
in, and to forbear to grumble if din
ner is trifle late for any good reason,
to be little sympathetic and affec'
tionate, and remember that theirs are
not the only troubles in the house.
According to the ordinary writer,
a woman's whole married life should
be spent in practicing expedients to
keep her husbands love from growing
cold, while he apparently may pursue
any course he pleases, civil or uncivil'
tyrannical or gentlemanly, and be
sure of retaining hers.
"This may not be the masculine
idea OF the case at all the sterner sex
may not really expect to get the
whole globe and give nothing in re-
turn, but it is not the writer's fault if
they don't. l sedulously keep all such
articles away from JChn, for he's q
very good husband and I'm afraid
such literature would put ideas into
his head and spoil him.
"Now, poor unenlightened soul, he
has an idea that my side of the part
nership has its own worries and he
tries to help me straighten them out,
but who knows how he would change
if he ever discovered that he is really
made Of china and has to be handled
with care to keep from being broken" T"

EVOLUTION.
Proof of the Darwnan Theory From Com
parison of Blood CorpuscIes.

Proof Of the Darwnan Theory From Com
parison of Blood CorpuscIes.
The latest proof of the correctness
of Darwin's assertion that there is
near relation between man and ape
is furnished by discovery OF the
correspondence between the blood of
man and ape.
Blood exposed to the air coagulates
forms jelly-like mass. After a
time the coagulum contracts and ex-
pels a perfectly clear fluid called
serum. Lately experiments with this
natural serum showed some queer re-
suits. When the serum of rabbit
was mixed with the blood OF an ami
NAL not closely related to it, for in
stance a gunner pig, the blood cor.
puscles of the guinea pig were thereby
dissolved. But the serum of the
rabbit mixed with the blood OF close
ly related animal, a hare for instance,
did not affect the blood OF the hare at
all.
The serum of the horse works no
change in the blood of the donkey,
but destroys (dissolves) the blood
corpuscles OF the rabbit, lamb or man.
The dog, fox and wolf readily permit
exchange of blood, while the blood
corpuscles OF the dog are dissolved by
cat serum. This then seemed to furn-
ish a new and sure means for estab-
fishing blood relationship between
animals. Experiments with human
serum showed that it dissolves the
blood corpuscles of all vertebrates,
also those of the lower apes. But the
experiments with the higher apes gave
different results. Neither the blood
corpuscles of the orang outang nor
those of the gibbon were dissolved by
human serum, and human blood was
carried into the blood course of a
chimpanzee without in the least al
fecting the latter's condition.
These experiments serve to show
that the blood of man and that of the
higher apes must he looked upon as
identical. 1t is absolutely sure that
none of the tested serum of animals
resembles the human blood as closely
as does tho blood of those three apes
the orang outang, chimpanzee and
gibbon. This highly interesting scien-
titic discovery furnishes new proof for
the probability of mans evolution
from lower animals. 1t throws some
light on the sorry experience had with
TRANSMISSION OF animal blood in the
blood of suffering human beings.
Some scientists maintain that the
sheep and man, the calf and man
stand too far apart in the order OF de-
scent to permit intermixture OF their
blood without harmful results.
