so in regard to the color and marking
OF a large proportion Of birds eggs.
A reason there must be for their in
finite diversity; it cannot be an ns-

vading instinct of distrust is probably
exhibited in eggsheils as in more i'm.

SHREWD VICTOR HUGO.
The Quiet Way In Which He bu1licd
the Theatrical Managers.

t1S
Here are the methods which Dumas
the elder and Victor Hugo employed
when they had a new play to offer to
the theater. Dumas would write to this
director of the Porte st. Martin:
My Dear Friend-I hall bring ycn on
Monday a play IN five acts. / shall need
Mile. Georges, Nine. Dorval, BocAge,
Lockroy, Provost and five new scenes.
This extravaganza would alarm the
director, who would put Off the produc-
ton of the play till better days.
Then Victor Hugo would appear aud
shyly draw q manuscript out Of his
pocket. He would agree to everything.
The stock company would play his
piece admirably, since all he wanted
was a good ensemble; no new decora-
tons would be needed nor any change
at all.
So the piece would be read, and az
the roles were distributed Hugo would
say musingly, "Dieu, how fine Freder-
lex would be in that part!' THAT Is
true" Horel would murmur, and a few
DAYS after he would announce that
Frederick was engaged. Hugo would
then demonstrate that this destroyed
the equipose of the cast and Raucourt.
Laferriere and Mile. Georse rs would be
engaged. Then Hugo would attack the
stage setting. Old scenes, that the pub.
lie had tired of, were almost an insult
to these great artists. If Horel showed
reluctance at this, Hugo would threat.
en- to withdraw his piece. And so tho
game would go on, till. little by little,
Hugo had obtained everything he
wanted, even to changing the paper

Prenching Monkefs.

The author of THE History of Bra.
zil' tells OF a species of monkey called
"preachers." Every morning and
evening these monkeys assemble In
the woods. One takes a higher posi-
ton than the rest and makes a signal
with his fore paw. At this signal the
others sit around him and listen. When
they are all seated, he begins to utter
q series of sounds. When he stops
these cries, he makes another signal
with his paw, and the others cry out
until he makes a third signal. upon
which they become silent again. This
author, Mr.. Marcgrove, asserts that he
was a witness to these preachings.

n FEMININE MIND.


A man can very seldom tell what 10
passing In n woman's mind. He talkS
with another man, and he can follow
his processes; be gets his point OF
view; he can read between the lines;
he can make a shrewd guess as to
how he came TO say that Oh why he
refrained from saying the other, says
the Waterman.
But a womnn's mental processes are
not those of a man. Her mental ma
chinery Is geared differently. You hear
what she tells you. You can make In
ferences from it. They will be wrong
because you do not know how she
rame to say what she did; you do not
have the clew. Try to guess whats she
will say next, and you will find that
O are all at sea-
The man who saHs that be under
stands woman Is himself q woman.
No man can understood q woman. He
nay love her. There may exist be-
tween his soul and hers that ince-
Enable and celestial sympathy which
Is the sweetest thing OF earth. but no
does not understand her.
Her mental operation, her ways OF
thought. her point of view, will always
be as inscrutable to him rs the mental
processes of an angel. Whether wom-
en- understand each other is not quite
certain. A greater part of the delight
that men find In the companionshlp OF
women arises from their inscrutability.
You cannot measure or exhaust them.
Their charming inconseqnence. as
1t seems to you. will never cease to
puzzle you, and every fresh eonversa-
tion reveals q novelty Of attitude OF
