A LAMB AND ITS DAM.
The Way the Eve Recognizes It's
Own Offspring.

Although sheep can see and hear
very WE'LL it is undoubtedly by the
sense of smell that the ewes recognize
their own offspring. Sir Herbert Max
well relates an interesting example of
this odd fact, citing the case of a Chew
lot lamb which had fallen into a
river and, owing to the steepness of
the bank, could not climb out.
An angler, who was fishing in the
stream, rescued the shivering animal,
and it staggered away, bleating pit
eously for its dam. 1t found her with
out much difficulty, but the mother,
shifting disdainfully at the dripping lit
tie wretch, pushed it off, refusing to
recognize it. The angler appealed to
a shepherd who happened to pass that
way for an explanation of the ewes
behavior "Oh," said he, 1.-The bit
beastie's been in the water, We see, and
the auld eve Gamma smell it. She'll
tax it back as soon as it's dry
And so it turned out. The fleece was
soon dried, the natural odor returning,
and the mother and child were recon-
ciled and reunited at once.

A LIVING SWEETMEAT.
The Way Native Mexicans Eat the
Honey Bearing Amt.

The honey bearing ant of southern
Mexico and ColoraGo Wo ks at night,
storing the honey in curious fashion.
After a foraging expedition on the
plants of the Schrug oak the worker
ant on it's return forces the honey by
muscular contraction from it's mouth
into the crop and abdomen of the
''honey bearer" This crop is walled
by ten muscular plates and is capable
of great expansion. When filed the
abdomen becomes extraordinarily dis
tended, the bearer resembling a sac
Of amber colored honey, with the head
and thorax like small appendages on
one side.
The ''bearers" being rendered almost
helpless by this change of condition,
are carefully attended by the other
ants and kept in suitable compart-
ments, where, clinging to the roof,
they hang down like amber globes.
The ants as they need food apply their
mouths to those of the 'honey bear
ers," when a slight contraction of the
muscles forces out minute drops, which
are licked off and consumed. These
ants are used by the natives of Mexico
as dessert to their feasts, the honey
being extracted by pressure between
the teeth.

ARISTOTLE AND ENGLISH.
The Classic Authors Many COntribu-
lions to Our Vocabulary.


lions to Our Vocabulary.
During the middle ages Aristotle was
practically the only secular author
read in Europe, for the priestly class
were the only readers, and their learn
ing was mostly confined to ecclesias-
tical treatises. 1t was during this pc
riod that the English language was
developing into it's present form.
Aristotle treated of every subject
which came within the range of
thought in his time and introduced
many new branches of inquiry which
have since become sciences. The terms
used by him were adopted by every
later writer and are still in use all
over Europe, although variously cor
rupted.
The following list will give some
idea of the number and power of Aris-
totle's word coming, which is revived
in modern everyday English:
Maxim, principle, subject, matter,
form, end, final, cause motive, energy,
mean, extremes, metaphysics.
He called his Investigations about
animals histories" whence we call
our science, which has the same end
in view, natural history" and in our
universities the term faculty" is a
translation, corrupted in it's passage
through the Latin, of Aristotles term
for art.

The Veil
OF Chance

BY HOWARD FIELDING


IL. FlNOLA4 WARREN is an
n eminent scientist whose pen
~ is familiar with the stress of
controversy. He has vanquiSh-
ed learned men in his time, and surely
such an i'll taught person as Honest
Dan" Farley, the gambler.
They met on a railroad train. DIR.
Warren was travelling from Buffalo to
New York in company with his neph-
ew, Harold Archer, a young man Of
large means and reckless disposition,
with genius for scraping acquaint-
ance with impossible people, whom he
was glad to introduce as his friends.
This popularity was known to DR..
Warren, and he feared it. Yet when
Archer in compartment of the smOk-
ing car introduced Honest Dan" Far
ley the learned doctor was interested
in spite of himself. Here was a genu-
inc celebrity, really eminent rascal.
"Above all other qualities" said Ar
cher, my uncle admires honesty"
Moreover" added Dr. Warren po-
litely, this is the first time that have
had the opportunity of meeting an hon
est gambler"
"Now, wonder just what you mean
by an honest gambler?' said Farley.
zone who takes even chances with
his opponent" replied the professor
promptly.
Honest Dan" slowly shook his head.
"There'S no such thing as even
chances" said he. "Chance is what
you don't know. If you knew every
thing there wouldn't be any chance
for you. What you bet on in any game
is that you know more than the other
fellow. If it turns out that he knows
more than you do you have no kick
coming that can see."
I'm an honest game" retorted War
rem, neither party knows anything.
Let me illustrate my meaning with a
pack Of cards."
Certainly" said "Honest Dan," TAX
ing the professors words literally He
drew a pack from his pocket and laid
them face downward upon a small ia
BILE that extended little way from
the wall between the two divans which
furnished seating accommodation in
the compartment. Then he spread out
the cards with his hand and finally
covered them with newspaper.
"Now," said Farley, "I'll shut my
eyes, and you reach under that paper
and draw out card. Look at it and
put it into your pocket"
The professor took brief time for
consideration, and it seemed to him
that nothing more fair could be imag-
ined. He stirred the cards well be-
fore he drew, and he concealed even
the back of the one which he selected
not only from Farley but from all pos
sible observation except his own, and,
having put it into his vest pocket, he
tightly buttoned his sack coat.

The Steam Engine.

The steam engine was made perfect
" automatic by lazy boy who was
employed to open and close the valves.
Desiring to play instead of to work, he
tied a string from one part of the ma
chine to another, thus making the en-
CINE itself attend to it's own business.
He was never heard of again, and even
his name is unknown, but a perfect en-
CINE was the outcome of his laziness.

and I'll tell you the suit. That's per-
fectly even bet, isn't it,"
ct is" said the doctor, considerably
excited.
"What's the color" asked Farley.
"Black," answered the doctor.
Farley opened his eyes, and they
were blank as an OWLS in the daytime
when he turned them upon Warren.
Spade" said he slowly.
'You are right" responded Warren,
with chagrin. But we have proved
nothing. How can this successful
guess bear upon our argument?"
Because l knew that it was a
spade" said Farley, land you didn't
know that knew it. That's what we
were betting on. Now wait,' he added,
raising his hand. 'Tell me whether
the card is above or below a seven spot
and I'll guess the denomination"
Warren was perplexed. He knew
1t was impossible that Farley should
know what the card was. He had
made a clever guess, and now he was
making beautiful bluff.
Hold on" Farley continued; 'you
needn't tell me anything. The card
is ten spot"
Harold Archer burst into uncon-
trollable laughter as his uncle drew
forth the card and threw it upon the
table.
Farley brushed the newspaper to the
