or the bass that relate merely TO his
sporting relations with the angler.
But there are other mysteries that
puzzle the naturalist and bear on the
organic life OF the fish.
Up In Maine are two bass rivers not
far apart In one the fish run often
TO Tour. even TO five. pounds; in the
other rarely above a pound and a half.
In one of the largest lakes of New
Hampshire the writer's score for n

bass live on. and why didn't they grow
bigger? Again. In the uplands OF Con-

miles apart. In the one bass are Of

Double Fruits"

Double fruits may originate In either
or two ways. Sometimes when the
fruits are very young they may be-
come accidentally pressed together ~
tightly that they crush together. as IL
were, and may then as they become
older grow into one mass at this Juno
ton. This is a kind OF grating. This.
however, is not the common origin OF
double structures. All fruits, like buds
and the beginnings OF leaves. originate
In mass OF very soft cells. which are
easily affected by mechanical infiu-
ences. II one OF these soft young
structures, which tends TO grow as a
unit. becomes injured ut it's very tip,
which Is the place OF most active
growth. the growth ceases at that
point. but continues on both sides of
1t. 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
or the various influences we call I'm
ternal." although there is probably no
real difference between external In.
juries and internal influences. Ina this
gay originate not only double fruits.

There Is a woman now in Oberlin

Do you remember the story of the
little German woman of Chicago who
was left a widow at thirty with three
children and who educated herself?
She entered the high school. sitting
whom thoughtleSsly made fun OF her
poor English. She supported herself
and children by sewing at night.
Now that she has completed her
high school course at the age of thirty
four what do you suppose she intends
to do?
She is planning to spend four more
years in a normal school TO fit herself
for teaching. Some of the children
have grown up and will help the
mother.
The fact is there is no excuse this

A POLISH WEDDING.
Fun and Profit Strangely Mingled In

Fun and Profit Strangely Mingled In
the Festivities.
A wedding among the Poles may GER
tainly be said to hold its own among
the more entertaining OF marriage GUS
toms. There fun and profit are strange
ly mingled in the marriage festivities.
for the bride depends upon the wed
ding festival for her dowry and rarely
fails TO get enough 10 enable her to
begin housekeeping with comfort
After the wedding feast dance is
In order. and ut that dance every man
who would distinguish himself must
once In the evening at least claim the
bride for partner. The honor of
dancing with her. however. is not to
be obtained lightly. The aspirant must
win the privilege and pay for #.
In one corner OF the room the moth
err OF the bride has taken up her posi-
tion with plate In her Ian. The wise
woman has chosen that plate careful
ly. Ii Is made after the plan of an
eating house coffee cup and could not
justly be described as frail.
The gallant who wishes to dance
with the bride-and. as has been said.
all are in honor bound TO do so-must
pull out piece of silver and throw it
into the plate. Not until he has sue
ceeded in breaking or chipping that
almost invincible piece OF crockery
has he won the honor he seeks. Few
succeed In making an impression upon
the plate for less than a sum equal to
90 cents OF our money.
The money thus accumulated goes to
the bride and not unusually amounts
TO seventy-tive or one hundred dollars,
even where the crowd is apparently
as poor as 1t can well be. This sum in
a rural district OF Poland is enough to
start the young couple fairly In house
keeping.-Detroit Free Press.
