gence OF insects must be OF very diff

and ganglia differ both In structure
and position from the brain and spinal
cord OF man. Insect eyes are immov-
able and compound. ano perceive mo-

Billy Finds A Home

Little billie" opened his dark blue
eyes for the first time Just three weeks
ago. The perspective Of the big world
into which he had just come. was fur
nished by the four white walls Of the
county hospital.
billie" was then too young to ap-
precIate things and he was so tiny
and fragile that they kept him
wrapped up The Whisperings Of the
nurses who gathered about his moth
er's bed, and the frequent calls Of the
doctor meant nothing to him Billie"
was not any different from any other
little new baby he was Just as pudgy,
helpless and baldheaded. Like those
little babies. Billie slept a good deal
for the first three days, during which
time his mother died with a prayer
on her lips for him, and an unanswered
plea to Billie's papa to be with her
when she died
OF course Billie" did not know. but
his papa had left his mother three
weeks prior to the time of his arrival,
and the Woman's Charity association
had sent her to the county hospital.
After his mother died Billie was
left alone, but the nurses at the coun-
ty hospital. and the kind women Of
the Woman's Charity association were
good to him, seeing that he got his
milk. which was all that he seemed to
know or care about.
billie" spent the first wa k of his
life at the county hospital when he
was taken charge of by the Hotel Dieu.
In the third week of his eventful ca
reer the kind women of the Woman's
Charity association, at the instance Of
the Sunshine nursery. came for him,
and he was placed in the latter's home.
By this time Billie" had manufactured
smile which won him hearts on every
side.
As soon as he was installed i'm the
sunshine nursery the search for
mama and papa for him was instituted.
Mrs. J. S. Sears. of 111O South Oregon
street heard about Billie and Thurs
day she visited the Sunshine nursery.
When she cuddled Billie" in her arms
he smiled at her, and she took him
home.

MS approval. and Billie viii be duly
adopted by Mrs. Sears. He viii be re-
christened. and the name OF Billie"
