Double fruits may originate in either

fruits are very young they may be
come accidentally pressed together so
tightly that they crush together. as it
were, and may then as they become
older grow into one mass at this juno
ton. This is kind of grating. This.
however. is not the common origin of
double structures. All fruits. like buds
and the beginnings Of leaves. originate
in a mass of very soft cells. which are
easily affected BY mechanical inhu-
ences. If one Of these soft young
structures. which tends TO grow az Il
INIT. becomes injured at its very tip.
which is the place OF most actire
growth. the growth ceases at TIA;
point. but continues on both sides OF
it. and it continues to grow without
making an effort TO reunite the two
parts. The injury may be caused By
the bite Of an insect or by some other
external cause. or it may be some one
of the various influences we call ''in-
fernal, although there is probably no
real difference between external in
iuries and internal influences. In this
way originate not only double fruits.
but double leaves. ST Nicholas.

When one is child one can go to

Shoulder your pack!
IT is worse than folly to complain
20 your fellows that the harnesses Of
che load gall your shoulders Do not
talk about your troubles. Every one
you meet is bending his back under
his own burden It is too much TO
expect the other man TO lay down his

are likely to find only chagrin and
loss of self respect.

The shrewd political manager who

The rule holds good in every depart
ment Of life. And the wise employer
of men and women does not regara
them as mere machines. They are
workers together with him. They are
co-operators in common enterprise
Under our competitive system ideal
relations between capital and labor are
more or less difficult. The nearest APP
proach to the ideal is that condition
where the employer thoroughly trusts
and freely consults his employees.

And young Knox promptly accepted

girl.
So strong was the parental anger
that m the interview between father

caused his death three years later.
A month after the interview the
marriage took place. and young Cor
