Mr.. Roosevelt in his speech was an

it had erred '.Those who have to do

Learns More Readily Than Rhinos.
Both animals wandered freely over
the open country of East Africa thirty
years ago. But the elephant learns
by experience Infinitely more readily
than the rhinoceros. The former no
longer lies In the open plains and now
even crosses them, If possible, at night.
But those rhinoceroses which formerly
dwelt in the plains for the most part
continue to dwell there until killed

would under similar conditions behave
as the rhinos that we studied and hunt

 Many protozoans are so simple in structure that they consist of only . tiny cell without any covering. They have no legs, but extend any part of the jelly-like body in the form of slender. fnger-like processes. with which they cling to the supporting object and so drag themselves along.
 These processes are called "pseudopo- 6ia" (false feet), and sometimes extend from the body 70 much like the roots of c tree that they have given the class name to the little Rhizopods. the ''roof-footsd".

HUSBANDS AND SOCIETY.

Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont IN HaTpeTs Weekly.
In America the vast majority of women
get no social help from their husbands.
The latter take the position that all the
duties pertaining to society belong ex-
clusively TO the wife, little realizing the
burden laid upon her. Their own duty
they consider fully discharged when they
supply the funds and present themselves
at the appointed hour. correctly dressed
for dinner or opera Too often they fail
TO appreciate the wife's intense ambition
70 represent adequately their name. their
fortune, their standing in the community.
The fulfllnent Of social obligations by
no means represents the whole OF the
duties OF a society womans existence.
There is no end TO the demands Of church
work charities. reforms, and every kind
of philanthropy. Practically each woman
has one or more special objects with their
call for board meetings and personal IN
vestigation and service. With modern
life has come the new demand for cease
less intellectual culture through lectures
on art, music science, and literature. In
recent years this has been supplemented
by the desire to keep abreast of current
events, to understand the problems OF the
hour. and this is attained through con-
slant attendance on classes for their
study and consideration. To the culture
Of the mind is added in these progressive
days the systematic development OF the
bOdy-woman entering the field Of ath-
letics as an ambitious competitor OF man
