INTERPRETATION of Pain.

Pain has been explained as an &C.
compartment of the Promethean spirit
of life, which, in perceptible haste to
proceed upon it's journey. takes the
most ready and efficacious path on
ward. Needless of what 1t breaks and
brushes on the way. But pain Is
rather an impulse within the spirit of
life. Pain is it's conscience urging 1t
on. Unless we were pricked on by
pain we should wish to stand still, con-
tent with our own satisfaction, meanly
indifferent to higher pleasures; with
out pain life might have been con-
tent to house itself in low animal
form and wallow in bestiality, ease
and lust. 1t may be that the onward
progress might have been accom-
plished without pain, we might have
been whirled upward, insensible satel-
lites, toward the universal goal. But
we have received the privilege Of con.
sciously sharing in the upward jour
ney. Each onward movement must be
a wrench from the past, each moment
a parting, each step an eternal fare
we'll These noble Inconsistencies are
tasks imposed by pain.-From the At
lantic.

NOT IN DEMAND AS A PET
West Indian opossum Has Few Good
Qualities That Recommend Him to

Although not exactly suitable as a
pet. the West Indian opossum is a
very interesting little animal.

IL he keeps poultry.

II robs the fowl houses, steals ripe
fruit from the trees, eggs from the
nest, and fish from the pond. II is sell
dom seen during the day, as it's sight
is weak and II dislikes sunlight. "A
starry night for a ramble" is the pos
sums motto, and he doesn't go home
till morning. Mrs. Opossum produces
ten or a dozen young ones at birth.
and hides them away in a warm pouch
like a kangaroo.
Queer little naked blind things they
are, so that were It not for the ma
ternal pouch they would not succeed
long in the struggle for life.
Grown a little older, they are some
times taken for walk on their moth
er's back, and 1t is funny sight to
see the little fellows all clingiDg for
dear life to mammals tail.
The negro dearly loves 'possum
hunt, and a ramble with Sambo and
two or three dogs generally produces
sport. The 'possum ordinarily takes
to a tree and tries to hide himself be
hind the trunk, but the darby gets him
"'gainst de NOON" as he calls it
