The Life of the Cell.

1t Is no extravaganza and no mere
figure Of speech to say that cells move
about with apparent purpose, that
they feel, that they suffer and enjoy
that they absorb and assimilate food
that they live, love. marry, propagate
and die. And we can say with as
much truth that they think. But OF
this last mentioned function 1t will
be we'll to defer discussion until a
subsequent time.
The cell, therefore, does all that
the man does, has all that the man
has, and possesses, within its tiny
compass, heart, vein, muscle. nerve
artery, skin, bone, cartilage and what
not of the future organism of the
composition of which it forms one OF
the ultimate constituent parts.-Mich

Writer Says Ideal Man Wears No
Hair on His Face.

A recent writer says: The ideal
man is clean-shaven. Confidently he
exposes to the world his features I'M

think, should wear no hair upon his
face. And for these reasons: Each

index of his character. But his feat

of his nature and his mode OF life.
There may be villany written

mold of chin betrays its owner as a
man of considerable homicide tenden-

STIMULATING MELONS.

In the northern limits of melon cul-
ture II is desirable to so stimulate the
plants that they will produce fruit as
early as possible and this may be
done by constantly feeding the plants
during the whole season. Nitrate of
soda, where it can be got, is a good
stlmuiant. and while IL is a pretty
costly way to supply the plants with
nitrogen it pays with as valuable a
crop as melons. Stable manure spread
over the surface of the soil and work
Led in is good, and is is hardly possible
to overdo this kind of fertilization,
especially if the plants can be watered
freely.
In cultivating melons OF any kind
do not disturb the vines more than is
absolutely necessary, as to do so re-
tards growth and makes them produce
smaller and later melons.

THE SCIENCE OF BREEDING.


The man who has proved himself a
successful breeder is of inestimable
value In the realm OF stockholm and
to him honor is truly due. There are
many engaged in breeding stock and
many have been more or less success
full but how many can we point out
as masters of their art. Unfortunate
ly they are few. There are many
prominent breeders who own prize
winning herds but in how many cases
are the animals in their possession
the result of their success as breed
ers. A great number OF men in the
business are more deserving of the
name spectators than breeders.
It requires clear insight into the
laws relating TO breeding, and this in
turn demands considerable expert
ence before the height Of success can
be reached. There are SO many influ-
ences having a bearing more or less
direct on the laws OF breeding and
Of some OF the laws so little is
known, that he who would be sue
cessful must be a close student. The
most prevalent cause of failure is
that many Of those engaged in the
work fail 10 comprehend its intricacy.
It may be that herd of cattle
10 deficient in some particular point
and the owner in his cndeavor to
rectify this weakness secures a sire
that is strong in that particular but
at the same time he oVerlOOks some
weakness in the sire that may be
even more Objectionable than the one
he endeavoTs TO remedy, and as a
result finds himself in a serious pre-
dicament. This viii illustrate one of
the pitfalls into which the unwary
may fan and points out one Of the diff
ficulties which will continually pre-
sent themselves. II is impossible TO
get a perfect sire and the intending
purchaser must reason out for him.
self whether or not his herd will be
improved by the use Of certain ami
NAL.
The breeder must have in his mind
some definite idea, which he is en-
deavoring to reach and without such
an ideal in his mind little Roadway is
likely to be made. a sire should be
selected not only because he is a
good individual. but because of the
value he wei be 10 that particular
herd in which ne is TO be used. Sup
posing there are two animals TO
choose from. The. first may, in the
show ring, win over the second, but
for use in a certain herd the second
may be Of much more value than the
first. AS an explanation of this, the
first may be deficient in a certain
point in which many Of the herd are
likewise deficient and the use OF such
a sire would tend to fix the existing
evil more firmly and render improve
ment more difficult.
Let the breeder never be satisfied
with his present attainments, but
strive for something better. Let his
watchword be improvement and
though he may have reached a GER
tain ideal in which he had in mind
as a beginner. let him set UP another
standard. Only the progressive can
hope for permanent success and we
are in duty bound 20 strive for some
thing better than present attainment
and to give the world the best we
can.

she arose and put her hand within II,
and together they started towards
the house. treading the narrow ledge,
whose outer edge was death. A single
push of the crazed woman's feeble
hand and mutilation waited for them
below, but there was not tremble in
the mans voice as he asked:
And what do you think of the new
tenor this winter at the opera?"
In the street below the crowd stood
silent tense with excitement, until
they saw Philip hand the woman, still
with courtly grace, through the door
in the roof, and then 1t broke into
tumultuous cheering.
AS for Philip, his one thought was
to get to the Office. He realized the
value OF the story. The secret OF the
darkened mansion. The closed blinds.
The beautiful woman, with her wild,
mad eyes--it was full of color, it was
picturesque. Besides it was a SCOOP
There is, perhaps, no other joy in
life equal to that which the young
writer reads his own productions in
type, and Philips first conscious act
the next morning was to reach for the
paper. de had expected his story to
be given some prominent place; per-
haps to be featured. To his dismay IL
was not even printed. How long he
might have stared at the paper in be-
wilderment he never knew, but that
two letters caught his eyes, as they
lay upon his table. One was from
the city editor of the Asterisk, and he
bounced upon it for an explanation.
Dear Van Vivier," he read, sorry,
but your scoop was scooped. The dis
tressed damsel you rescued is old La
RouXs daughter, and La RouX, as you
appear not to know, is tho heaviest
stakeholder in the Asterisk. Natur-
ally he wanted your story killed. Vir-
tue is rewarded. however. He sug.
gests you for night editor in place of
Carson, who has resigned. Report
for duty tonight"
The other letter was from Madge.
II said:
Dear Philip have heard Of your
rescue of poor Fannie La Roux. How
could you be such a hero, and such
a goose as to take such a risk. You
need q guardian, sir, and I am going
TO marry you to take care of you. on
this day one month. You can't refuse
a lady, you know. Yours, Madge."
Philip read the letter twice, and
then he bowed his head on the table,
and when he raised it his eyes were
dim and tender.
