Nature and the Barnacle.

In the barnacle we have unique
and wonderful case of a creature that
can afford as age comes on to dispense
with the eyesight that was so useful
In youth. For the young and old
banacle are as different one from the
other as fishes from seaweed. In the
heyday of life the barnacle swims
about the sea, seeking its food with the
aid of it's eyes and generally leading a
roaming existence. Later in life, how
ever, it grows tired of this aimless
wandering and settles down to worry
ships captains by attaching itself to
the keel of their craft and defying the
much advertised powers of various pre-
Ventive paints. Once, then, the barna-
Gle has become a fixture, whether on
ships or sharks, it's eyesight is of no
more use. It cannot seek it's food, and
it cannot shun It's foes, for it never
more will move. Therefore it's eyes
become superfuous and, according to
natures invariable rule in such cases,
disappear.

Lived to Fight Another Day.

Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at Molwitz, his first battle Had
he not been king it is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat of the
carnage he got an idea that the army
under his command was being over
whelmed, so he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
he stopped in his wild fight Late at
night he was discovered hiding in an
old mill, awaiting, as he thought, cap
ture by the enemy. Then he discov-
cred that the army he deserted had
won the battle. AS Frederick was a
prince, everybody tried to forget the
incident just as quickly as possible,
and after that, when the king went to
war, he was just as brave as any 9th
or soldier.

There are great many more men who need a n athletic wife. For in

cause of the mans fever for gambling. A good drubbing from the wife would
probably cure such a malady
The same medicine might be administered to the ian who refuses to work.
There ire many women today who take in washing in order to support their
families, because their husbands refuse to work. A srapping for such men
would probably make them realize that they should assist in the support Of
their families
Why not ,rovide public gymnasiums for women where fl-treated wives
might taxi a few lessons in punching, so that they might success lily punch
their husbands into the belief that they must work in order to earn their
daily bread? 1t might bring some good results.
As for gambling husbands only N thing can be sad. If they lack in
4 lgence enough to know that such a practise brings unhappiness in the
lhome, they should b. severely dealt with by the police There are many
Idens in the most fashionable districts Of the city where men lot only lose
large sums of money every day, but also waste their time and energy and
neglect their families What is the result? Divorces follow, children lose all
respect for their parents, and homes are wrecked. Let the women punch
such husbands until they realize their first and last duty should be in the
home.
