all love. 1t is a misnomer to call the
country woman Madame Nature. She
should be known as Miss Violet, for
her hands are full of them, or as May

Stronger.
Few people know that a man, bulk
for bulk, is stronger than an OK, but
1t appears that such is the case. The
matter was tested not long since at a
fair in America, one of the attractions
of which was a contest of a yoke Of
oxen against an equal weight of men.
A drag was loaded with granite blocks,
weighing in the aggregate 1859
pounds. The yoke Of oxen that made
the trial weighed 1920 pounds, and
twenty men, allowing 100 pounds to
the man, were set against them. The
men took hold Of the drag first, and
easily walked off with it, covering a
distance of 95 feet in the space of two
minutes. The oxen at their trial moved
only e%ighty-five feet in the same length
of time, and the men accordingly
declared winners.-Pearson's Weekly.
