FRIENDSHIPS.

May the law of SaIlust always
remain engraved on the heart of
your king. Not with the help
of armies nor treasures do king
doms continue to flourish. but
with the help of friends, and
these cannot be gained by force
nor bought with gold; they are
won by acts of kindness and by
faithfulness. And, moreover,
1T is necessary always to live
in unity with ones own; by con-
cord the smallest things become
great, whilst by discord the
greatest are reduced to nought.'
Let him remember the example
of NJ Agrippa, who thought
much of this precept which alone
may make of your royal master
a good brother, a good comrade,
a good friend, a good king. Next
to God let nothing be dearer to
him than friendships. Let him
always implicitly trust the man
he once found worthy of his
friendship and. according to the
advice OF Seneca, let him prove
his friends in all things. but take
care first to prove himself also.
$ Slow in contracting
friendships, let him be even
more slow in breaking them
asunder and. if possible never
let him do so.-Petrarch.

When a Hedgehog Awakes.

When alternating hedgehog awak-
ems it rapidly warns itself up. Wheth-
er this is done automatically or wheth-
er it is due to the awakening animal
pulling itself together seems to be
a moot point. The fact is that the
animal rapidly warns itself up. The
chemistry of this is rapid combus-
ton of glycogen along with small or
moderate quantity of fat. There seems
no doubt that the important fuel which
so rapidly makes the fire of life burn
up is glycogen; the fat is only sub
sidiary 1t must be noticed that in
the hedgehog the awakening and the
warming up are two distinct though
associated processes. for the animal
may be awake at a lower temperature.

THE SIMPLE LIFE.

l have grown to believe that
the one thing worth aiming at is
simplicity of heart and life; that
ones relations with others should
be direct and not diplomatic;
that power leaves bitter taste

and hardness and GOODNESS are
the unforgivable sins; that pleas

very interesting and beautiful
