a seat in the private office of the pro-

had been peering in at the glass door

They were plainly dressed. sharp look

Here, bishop come along to Vine

WOMEN ARE WOMEN.
A Rather Roundabout Way to Prove
the Proposition.

the Proposition.
Men say women are angels; women
say women are cats. Let us pause a
moment and reason upon this thing.
If women are angels-however, that
does not seem to be the proper start
ing point. Let us try again.
If angels are C.-,s-but. no; that is
hardly reasonable. for angels have
wings. and cats do not fly. We must
begin again
If women are cats-but that isn't
possible, for cats do not talk, and how
could a dumb animal express an opln
ion in words of a woman? Whatever
cats may think. they never say a word
about woman. while women-wel
women are not cats.
Now let us return to the first prOpo-
sition.
If women are angels. they wouldn't
say women are cats. Angels don't
talk that way.
Once upon a time a man married a
woman. He said she was an angel:
the women said she was a cat. Happy
man. not to know the difference be-
tween an angel and a cat!
Men say women are angels. and by
this token women say angels are cats
Therefore. angels being cats, cats
must be angels, and, both being the
same, women are women.
Which is precisely what they are

Ancient Egyptian Stones.

Stones were formed into the shapes
Of beetles by the ancient Egyptians
They regarded the beetle as an EN-
blem of immortality. and hence 1t was
the most popular of all forms of or
nament. Counterfeit beetles of com.
mon stones were commonly buried
with dead persons. and 1t was custom
airy to engrave upon them the express
sion Of wishes for future repose and
happiness. dedications of the soul to
God and various hleroglyphs. One OF
the latter was a hawk with a human
head, symbolizing resurrection. An
other, the vulture, meant maternity. A
goose was the son of king.

How That Portion OF Northern New

not included in this division. 1t got its

HORSES AND DONKEYS.
Early Habits That Domesticaticn Have
Not Eradicated.

Not Eradicated.
A curious question in evolution was
once put to Il scientist prominent iG the
service Of the government. why is
It." some one asked, that horses shy
and donkeys do not?"
The answer was to the following eff
feet:
The ancestors of the horse were ac-
custOmed to roam over the plains
where every tuft of grass or bush
might conceal an enemy waiting il
ambush. In these circumstances the
must have time and again saved the
lives by quickly starting back or else
suddenly jumping to one side VIII
without warning some strange Objec,
appeared to them. The habit mus
have indeed been a strOnS one, seeinl
that so many years Of domestication
have not eradicated it.
On the other hand. the donkey is de-
scended from animals that lived among
the hills. with the usual precipices and
dangerous declivities, and from these
conditions, it would appear, there re
suited its slowness and sure footedness
The dOnkey's ancestors were not, then.
so liable to sudden attacks from wild
beasts and snakes. Moreover, sudden
and wild starts would have been pos
itively dangerous to the donkey's for
bears. Consequently they learned to
avoid the characteristic trick of the
horse. The habit of eating thistles. pc
culiar to the donkey, seems also to
have been inherited from its ancestors
In the dry, barren localities they in
habited there was often very little
food; therefore they learned to eat the
hard, dry and even pricllly plants and

scented itself.-New York Tribune.
