And how do you account for that
fact?
Il account for it on monetary
rather than on sentimental grounds
Widows remarry oftener than widow
ers because they need help more than
widowers. They are alone; they may
have a child or two; and all the money
they can call their own is life-insur'

single if they have children. Eighl

No Children to caress

An irate person writes TO the New
York Sun as follows: in these days
when the cry of race suicide is heard
In the land, when the appearance of
children in the homes of the intelligent
and well to do is becoming scarcer and
scarcer, while the disgusting affection
which many persons lavish on pet dogs
and cats become oyerpowering, the
views of the great Caesar as portrayed
by the historian Plutarch are timely
indeed. When Caesar happened TO see
some strangers at Rome carrying
Young dogs and monkeys in their arms
and fondly caressing them he asked
whether the women in their country
never bore any children, thus reprov-
ing with a proper severity those who
lavish upon brutes that natural tender
ness which is only due to mankind.

A Texas correspondent tells how an
obstinate juryman was circumyented
by his judges Of the facts. The
offense charged was assault with intent
to murder. After the jury had been
out about two hours it returned the
following verdict: 1--WE, the jury, ma
the defendant guilty of aggravated as
sault. and assess his punishment at
S25 fine, and herewith pay the fine
On inquiry as TO the meaning OF the
last clause of the verdict it came out
that eleven Of the jurors had agreed
that the defendant was not guilty, but
the twelfth doggedly hung out for a
conviction for aggravated assault, and
would not consent to a punishment less
than a fine of S25. Finding it a hope
less task TO bring over the obstinate
one to their way of thinking, the eleven
finally decided to agree with him, and
Clipped in enough to pay the hne.-

of men as we approach.
1t is remarked that the height OF a
woman's beauty lasts from fifteen 10
thirty years, that is to say that their
influence ceases the moment they be-
come reasonable.
Old men, like women and children.
ought not to abuse the privilege Of
their feebleness.
Men make the laws, women break
them.
1t is better TO make woman blush
than TO make her laugh.
Each woman feels herself robbed OF
all love which one has for another.
The Gauls, our ancestors, chose the
trunk of tree. in forest, and taking
there all that they owned OF value. the
spoils of their enemies, the robes of
senator's, the gold rings of the Roman
knights, they made a divinity which
they adored under the name of Irmin-
sui. 1t is thus that we have made
woman and love.
The wit to speak: who has 1t not?
That is common. But what ability we
should seek is the wit to keep silent.
Not to reverence old age is to de-
stroy the house where one should
sleep at night.

Its bladder traps are curious pear

found to be holding mosquito larvae
by the tails. The captives were quite
dead. In another a laTya had just
been caught and though struggling,
was unable to escape. The mosquito
