say, not one of them mentioned you Of
course you won't feel hurt if I add that
there is a general and deep rooted i'm
preston among them that you are not
half good enough for me. Sisters are
like that sometimes, you know"

Jules Verne's Romance.

The story of Jules Verne's courtship
and marriage is a most romantic one
Verne was a shy young fellow who had
a great dislike to the society Of wom-
en-, and it was only his affection for
his brother which led him to go to the
latter's wedding. Verne, however, ar
rived too late and found that the whole
bridal party had left for the church
with the exception of the brides sister,
q charming young widow, who explain
ed the matter The friendship thus ac-
cidentally begun rapidly developed into
a warmer feeling and ended in a mar
rage which may be described as ideal.

The Red Lobster.

The question is often asked, says the
Lancet. without a satisfactory answer
being supplied, Why do Holsters and
certain shrimps and prawns turn red
on boiling? One reason may be that
the black pigment of the lobster is all
iron compound in the lower state OF
oxidation, which boiling oxidizes TO
the higher state. Red human hair is
said to owe it's brilliance to iron exist
ing in the higher oxidized state, and
by means of reducing agents, such as
pyrogalIic acid or nutgall, the color
NAV be modified In short, oxygen is
a great painter and probably accounts
for the beautiful autumnal tints Of
plant life.
