Few things are more embarrassing |
7than to find ones self guest in dis

One must be gifted with wonderful
tact and prudence to be able to AVOID
taking sides and making REMARKS
which embroil one with all parties, for
no matter how much they fight among
themselves they are certain to make
common cause against an outsider.
After one has been cut a few tunes
they learn not to put their fingers IN
between the blades of the scissors.
Yet. how persistent is the tempta-
-tion to sympathize with an apparent
victim and mingle our own lnoigna'
ton with the outbursts OF which we
are made the confidant.
1t may be the wife who is at odos
by the conduct of son-in-iaw, OF the
younger sister in a jealous rage
against her seniors.
Almost surely it is one OF the wom-
.en of the family who pours out an 40
count of her sufferings in the guest
-ears.
Men are not above making break

of slurring observation upon women
in general, which particular women
are bound to take up and RESPOND &c
with all the enthusiasm OF sei1-de

usually thrown of carelessly ana with
out the betrayal of wounded feelings
which characterizes irony OF women.

1t emits light Of two colors. From the
eXtrelnities Of the insect there shines
a strong red light, while green rays
proceed from a row of points on each
side. Those who consider that the
lamp Of the female glowworm is to
guide the male as to her whereabouts
will be inclined to think that the COM
bination of red and green light Is to
enable the male of the Brazilian beetle
to distinguish his mate from other
luminous insects.
The specimen exhibited to the mem
bers of the Geological society Is thought
to be the first living specimen ever
brought to Great Britain. 1t has been
pointed out that the light Of glow
worms and ~fireflies Is the model fol
the ideal light-that is to say, In these
insects the maximum amount Of light
Is produced with the minimum amount
of energy.
