WHY HARRY WEPT.

"Why, Harry, what's the matter?"
asked a mother Of her four-year-old
hopeful, who was crying as If his heart
would break.
"G-grandpa slipped on the s-street
and g-got his c-clothes all m-muddy,"
sobbed the little fellow.
"Well, don't cry about it dear" said
the mother. "I'm glad to see you SO
kind-hearted and sympathetic, how

"It a-ain't that" sobbed Harry.

Spinsters Drink Less Tea.

Along with other chara cteristics of
splnsterhood that have gone glimmer-
ing down the aisles Of memory and
tradition is that OF devotion to tea.
The spinsters of to-day drink coffee,
good and strong, much more frequent
ly than tea. Not few of them de-
mand even stronger beverages, but for
none of them would the teapot be an
appropriate emblem. Tea no longer
serves, perhaps is not needed, to sooth9
the wounded vanity or console those
women who are outside the matrlI
monial palace of bliss. Afternoon
tea" still stands as a convenient term.
but it includes almost everything eX4
cept tea, and when that harmless bev-
eragc Is served it is so doctored that
the tea-drinking old maid of tradition
would not recognize it.-Tacoma

Disguises of Nature.

BY 4 decree Of nature, one-half Of the
world hourishes at the expense of the
other half The sparrow chases the
butterfly, but the hawk chases the
sparrow. Fer the problem of life is
twofold. 1t is not enough merely to
eat; it is necessary to avoid being
eaten. Yet nature detests killing for
killings sake. Massacre forms no part
of her great plan. SO We see that
every creature is provided with some
more or less effective quality of de-
fense, by means of which the attacks
of its natural enemies are rendered
less frequent or less deadly.
Thus the antelope, by means of its
superior speed, at times escapes from
the lion. TIE armadillo, rolled in Its
wondrous coat of mail, lies secure
foes. while the white hare, scarcely
distinguishable from the white snow
on which it crouches, is often over
looked by his foe, the fox. But of all
creatures none have received more
ample protection than the insects.
Some of them possess stings, others
bite and few puff out clouds of pois-
onous vapor to stupefy or blind their
pursuers. Again, there are insects
clothed in impenetrable armor, insects
covered with sharp splnes and prickles
and others whose means of defense
consist in nothing but likeness to the
objects which surround them.-Royal

THE LAST JOURNEY.

The little traveller set forth
With one last smile of sweet content.
There are no footprints south or north,
To show to us the way she went;
No tiny footprints in the snow,
No flower for token backward thrown,
"Sweetheart," We wept, why must yor

Smiling, she went her way, alone.
The little traveller went her way
And left us all who loved her so.
She journeyed forth at break of day
A long, long way she had to so.
The stars were paling in the sky
Their kind eyes must have seen her start
Come back to us, dear heart, dear heart! !"
The little travellers tiny feet
Have found path that we must find.
She WIS so little and so sweet!
We cannot linger, left behind.
We stumble seeking day by day,
o little traveller! Who will send
A guide to point lis out the way
To find you at the journeys end?

The Russian Succession.

1t was hoped and expected in Russia
that the Cars only surviving brother,
the Grand Duke Michael, who now
bears the title of Czarevitch, would
shortly be displaced from this position
by the birth of a male heir-apparent
In the direct line, but for the fifth time
since his marriage Nicholas II. has
been disappointed, and this time more
acutely than before. Four daughters
have been born to him at pretty regu-
lar intervals since 1895, but now the
imperial court physicians certify to
the premature confinement Of the EN-
press.
The question of the Russian success
Sion is by no means clear. According
to Il decree of the Emperor Paul Of
1877, the succession is by right of
primogeniture, with preference of male
over female heirs, but this must be a
different law from that of our own
royal house, otherwise the Cars
brother would not be his present heir
apparent in preference to his eldest
daughter. Since the accession of the
Romanoffs Russia has been ruled at
various times by four Empresses but 1t
Is not certain that failing the present
Czarevitch-whose constitution Is by
no means robust-his position as the
heir-apparent would not be taken by
the Cars uncle, the Grand Duke
Vladimir, the handsomest and ablest
member of the imperial house-a kind
of cross in character and accomplish.

The ShrlveIing of the Earth.

Measured by the yardstick, the world

pressure Of electricity, steam and steel
bridges, spectacle is presented of
practical time and space annihilation.
Seas have been dried up, continents
pushed together, and islands welded
that this might be. Nations once iso.
lated are now in earshot of one an.
other, and the markets Of all peoples
line a single street. American wheat
fields are days, not months, away from
British bakeshops. New York is on
the outskirts of London and Paris not

with various others, are duly inscribed
