What great fun it would have been to

| IN the wood where the rabbit expected
to find out why he "wabbled his nose!'
How one would have laughed to hear a
yellow dog sing:
Why. a peach or plum has of seeds only one
Nn1le fg has thousand we know;
We know why fire won't burn in the sun,
And why you can't boil melted snow;
we Know why green peas make the best cur

Why and wherefore the peanut tree grows:
But, alack and alas! there is no one can tell

miles;
We've shouted it under the rose;
But alas and alack only Echo calls back
Observation-Disclosures OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES?
And what sport it would have been to
meet learned donkey and a wise goose,

to forest in which Mr.. Taylor's little
golden-hair wandered. All this is told in
q story OF enchantment such as children
love and find no difficulty in believing;
and this one is full of bits of humor such
as children also love-, and such as older
folk can enjoy, too. Indeed, some of 1t
will need diagraming for the little ones.

Harvard, in a book written shortly before
his death, advanced this theory:
| ThatEin proportion to the female organs re-

exists also in each just SO much of their peculiar
mental characteristics.
| That this female mind in man, having free

That what has of late years occuped n,uch
thought as the Subliminal Self, the Inner Me-
the Hidden Soul. Unconscious Cerebration, and
the IKE, may all be reduced to or fully ex-
planned by the Alternate Sex in us.
It is a rather novel idea, but one that.

prove, or even to offer strong support to-.

thing OF common nature. Mr.. Leland's
reasoning leads him to further PROPOSE

above ordinary experience, or to what is
generally known the supernatural
