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 it will
be we'll to defer discussion until a
subsequent time.
The cell. therefore, does all tina
the man does, has all that the man
has, and possesses, within it's tiny

Existence, as Philip Van Vivier

affair. He had youth and health, and
wealth, and he pictured the future a

and polo ponies, and grand opera, and
little suppers cfter the play, and Lon.
don seasons and Partisan boulevards,
and it really seemed to him-when he
stopped to moralize-that this was a
pretty good old world after all, and
that given these things and a good
digestion a man might be happy if he
tried.
Then, too, to crown it all there was

svelt, with the tawny gold in her
hair, and the eyes that changed with
every changing thOught-that were as
blue as summer skies when she smil-
ed. and grew black as midnight when
she thrilled to any deep emotion.
Philip could hardly remember a time
when he had not loved her. They had
grown up, boy and girl, together with
something singularly similar in their
rate. Both were orphaned children,
lett to the untender care of unwilling
relatives, and Philip never forgot the
moment of their meeting. His uncle's
