because he found that his wife's first
husband was a negro, and took along
his little daughter Alma, remains OBJ
durate in his determination not to let
Mrs. Jackson have possession Of the

Mrs M. j. Smith, residing in LIE Claire,
but persistently refuses to consent to
the mother having the care of it. The

The ready made religion always looks
the part.
There is nothing holier than everyday
helpiDlncss.
Faith never would know itself but for
foul weather.
You cannot elevate society at the price
OF the individual.
The strain o the market should be the
gain Of good morality.
There never viii be closed town until
there is wide-open church.
The homes; man knows himself too well
10 think he wholly Is self-msde.
He who does not get his education from
everything gets IL from nothing.
Religion never will be attractive so long
as Ii only offers easy things TO men.
No man worships the divine better than
he who works for this poor old human.
When a man meets doctrine thRt
doesn't square with mis- living he calls il
.'dogms.ism."
This world is enriched not by tbs ian-
rels you lay on the strong, but by the
loads you lift from the weak.

The Vision of Insects

A notable fact about vision OF insects,
and one which it may be supposed must
largely influence their view OF the external
world, Is the number OF facets, or lenses,
in compound eyes. A German naturalist,
K. Leinemsnn, has been painstsking
enough to count the number OF facets in
the eyes of no fewer than $50 species OF
beetle.
He finds that in the same species ard sex
the number increases with the size OF the
body. There is usually no permanent diff
ference bewteen the sexes as TO the num-
Der OF facets. Occasionally, however, the
difference is marked, as in the case oil
Lampyris splzndidula, in which the male
has 2, 500 and the female 800. One species
is noted which has the extraordinary
number OF 2i,o0o facets in its eye. The
number OF facets is greater in the rapidly
moving active sorms than in the more
sluggish species.
