DISCUSSES OF NATURE.
The Quality of Defense rs Found Z
Every Animal.


By a decree Of nature one-half tee
world fourishes at the expense Of tie
other half. The sparrow cl!ascs the
butterfly, but the hawk chases the
sparrow. For the problem OF life IS
twOfold. 1t is not enough merely to
eat. 1t is necessary to avoid Ueing eat
en-. Yet nature detests killing for kill
ing's sake. Massacre forms no Part of
I her great plan. So We see that every
creature is provided with some more
or less effective quality Of defense by
means Of which the attacks of it's nat
ural enemies are rendered less frequent
or less deadly.
Thus the antelope by means of its
superior speed at times escapes from
the lion The armadillo, rolled in it's
Wondrous coat of mail, lies secure
among a score Of hungry, gnawing
foes, while the white hare, scarcely
distinguishable from the STOW on
which it crouches, is otter oy rlooked
by his foe, the fox. But of IL creatures
none has received more ample protec-
ton than the insects. Some of them
possess stings, others bite, and few
puff out clouds of poisonous vapor to
stupefy or blind their pursuers. Again,
there are insects clothed in impenetra-
BILE armor, insects covered with sharp
spines and prickles and others whose
means of defense consist in nNthing
but likeness to the objects which sur
round them.-Royal Magazine.

The Stomach Is the Man.

A weak stomach weakens the man,
because it cannot transform the food
he eats into nourishment. Health
and strength cannot be restored to
any sick man or weak woman without
first restoring health and strength to
the stomach. A weak stomach can
not digest enough food to feed the
tissues and revive the tired and run
down limbs and organs of the body.

The Right Way to Boil Water.

'"To boil water would seem to be a
very simple thing" writes some one in
the Boston Cooking School Magazine,
s'and yet the late Charles Delmonico
used to say that very few people know
how to do it. The secret is he said,
in putting good fresh water into a ket-
tie already quite warm, setting the wa
ter to boiling quickly and then taking
it right off for use in tea, coffee or 9th
er drinks before it is spoiled. To let it
steam and simmer and evaporate until
the good water is in the atmosphere
and only the lime and iron and dregs
left in the kettle is what makes great
many people sick, and it is worse than
no water at ALL For water boiled like
this and favored with few drops Of
lemon juice Mr.. Delmonico used to
charge as much as for his best liquors,
and he often recommended it to his
customers and friends who complained
Of loss of appetite. 1t is worth trying"

Eyes at Different Ages.

The Stockholm museum possesses an
interesting collection of eyes taken
from human beings at different ages,
which are cut across in such way as
to exhibit plainly the internal and the
external eye. 1t is easy to observe that
the eye of a young child is as trans
parent as water; that of the youth a
little less so; in the man of thirty the
eye begins to be slightly opaque, in the
man Of fifty or sixty it is decidedly
opaque, and in the man Of seventy or
eighty it is dull and lusterless. This
gradual development of opacity is due
to the increase of fibrous tissue and de-
posit Of waste matter in the eye.

His First bicycle.

Mischief is the crows occupation.
The crow Of India appears to be par
ticnlarly malicious. He delights to
torment other birds, and will wanton-
" pull q nest to pieces. Mr.. A. J.
Ramford, in 'Turbans and Tails" de-
scribes the crow as having admirable
!self-possession, and usually a most
perfect control over his countenance.
a I have only once seen a crow, to use
q familiar phrase, taken aback forced
to own himself discounted. It was
one morning before breakfast, and
was speeding across the MADAM on
my bicycle. A crow, to which the
machine was perhaps a novelty, for
at that time there were not many in
use in Calcutta, came flying toward
me to satisfy his curiosity. The
bright steel spolkes were, of course,
invisible to human eyes, and, as is
proved, to his.
In the spirit Of impudence and
frolic, exhilarated, perhaps, by the
early morning freshness, he made a
dash to go through what seemed to
him to be simply hoop on which my
saddle rested.
It need hardly be said that he did
not get through. I looked back. He
lay on the ground, evidently much
surprised. His cav expressed per-
plexity mingled with disgust. His
head was sore, his feathers rufaed;
and when he got up and went away
to think about it, he looked more like
crow ashamed of himself than any
I had ever seen before.

THE PHANTOM'S
y WARMING. "
BIZ WALTER .. HIATT.

A BOUT the broad hearth in it's
"A customary manner the family
had assembled after the evening
meal, and Henry Carroll, the city
cousin, come to the country to re-
store failing health, found his first
visit into a Kentucky home not SO
dull as he had anticipated. The hos
pitality of country folk, who knew
well the art of entertaining, was his.
Mr.. Rankin, his wife, and above all,
the daughter, Martha, ingeniously
led the guest to talk of himself and
his short history, and of that. branch
of Che family from which he was di-
rectly descended, until the hour of
~ was reached long before he would
have guessed it.
The conversation lulled. Silence
was broken only by the ticking of
the clock. Suddenly Carroll heard
the faint pit-a-pat of a galloping
horse on the frozen turnpike. He
walked to the window overlooking
the road, and the sharp air bore the
sound more clearly to him.
II wonder who that can be, riding
SO wildly at this time Of night?" he
asked.
some drunken fellow going home,
l suppose, said Mr.. Rankin, indif-
ferently, but with a significant look
at his wife. II
Carroll pressed his face to the win
dow pane and once more looked out
upon the moonlit country. He had
q full view of the pike, and some
distance down the little valley, just
where Dix river was bridged, he saw
the dim figure of horseman dash
ing along. The horse crossed the
bridge with terrific clatter, the rider
not drawing rein for an instant.
Every board in the wooden struc-
ture seemed to start and tremble,
arolsing all the tlrowsy echoes of the
valley. #
"He rides like a wild mani" cx-
claimed Carroll. "Come here! Look
at him! One would think both man
and beast were hIhted--were fee
ing from the devil himself!''
Martha ran to the window and
gazed for a moment at the fast-dis-
appearing horseman. Papa, maybe
it's our ghost Rob the that
Aunt Dinah once met"
The mournful bay Of foxhounds
disturbed by the hoof beats and the
suggestion of chase gave her re-
mark tinge of color. The young
people stood side by side at the win
dow, curiously watching the silent
horseman. In a few moments he was
lost in the mist which hung over the
valley, and the sound of the hoof
beats, growing fainter and fainter,
were heard no more.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Rankin had kept
their seats while the rider passed.
and now tried in vain to lift the
gloom his appearance had left in
passing. Carroll noticed this and
half laughingly inquired if Martha's
ghost was q reality.

kin. He spoke in an unc0nvincing
manner, however, and the fireside
group relapsed into moody silence.

wonder from time to- time to that
corner next the window, where the
hardwood hoor was carefully hid.
