He sets always in quiet and desOlate

to attract enemies, and as soon as the
young are born the question is how to
feed them. The rhea answers that
question in advance. Three or four
days before the eggs are to open he
shoves Il couple of them out Of the nest
with his bill and lays them in the SUM-
What is the result? The result is that
the hot South African sun decomposes
the eggs. and the father breaks them

with worms-tender, juicy, delicious
worms. the best food in the world for

Sex and Rebirth.

The theories concerning the posi-

seem to be endless. OF them all think
the one best which suggests that sex is
reversed at reblrth and Alat when we
turn up cons after we previously eX-
listed we do so either as men or women
according to whether we were women
or men aforetime. This largely ac-
counts for the suffragette and for the
long haired, thin voiced creatures who
potter around boudoirs, play the piano
like "sweetly pretty" things and call
themselves men. Presumably the best
material of which we were fashioned
then is now used in our composition,
for the most manly women and effemi-
nate men generally have some good
points about them. But if one is %

through all ages it hardly seems worth
while worrying over sex problems. 1t
seems to me, in the long run, that we

How -Four Clever Monkeys outwitted
Hive Of Bees.

Four, monkeys sat under a tree
in an Indian forest. One monkey
was seen to busy himself in smear
ing one Of the others with red clay
earth. When he had succeeded in
entirely covering his companion the
three disappeared, leaving the other
as;mass OF clay but for two small
holes, through which peered pair
of cunning eyes. Then the be-
daubed monkey was seen to climb
to the hollow Of tree where there
was a beehive. The bees buzzed
about the intruder, but all they
could do was to leave their sting in
his claNcoat. At last they swarmed
away N despair, and the clever
monkey helped himself to the hon
eyeomb. And then the other mon
keys came out Of their hiding place
and proceeded to pick off the clay
covering from their brother. This
done they set to work at the honey
comb and finished it to the salts
faction of all four.
