The Bush BODY of Madagascar

The dwarf lemurs, the daintiest OF
all primates, are restricted to NADIA
gascar, wher they may be said to rep
resent the galagos or bush babies"
of tropical and southern Africa. An
example of the pretty little species
commonly called Smiths dwarf lemur
is shown here. The soft woolly coat
is delicate gray, the hands and feet
are white, and there is white stripe,
set off by dusky rings, around the
eyes, extending down the center OF
the muZZle.
1t is not much larger than the COM
mon garden dormouse OF central and
southern Europe and presents consid-
cradle superficial resemblance to that
animal. The ears are long and up
standing and the eyes are large, pro-
truding and circular"
A noticeable pecuiiarity is the
length of the hind foot As might be
expected from this modification, the
leaping powers Of this animal are so
great that it appears almost to fly
from branch to branch of the high
trees IN winch II lives.
Like squirrel, it builds a nest of
leaves in the fosk OF tree, and there
the female brings forth her young,
which are usually two.
The nest is also used for the pro-
longed sleep, equivalent to hiberna-
ton in which the animal INDUCES dur
ing the period in Madagascar, CORE
spending to our winter, when the in
sects and fruits on which it feeds are
scarce and difficult to procure in suffi-
cent quantities.
Before this time OF repose, and as
nutritive provision against it, the
dwarf lemur accumulates quantity
Of fat in the basal hair of the tail; the
remnant of this accumulation is still
upon this specimen.

notice that gentleman in re-
cent breach Of promise case put up
the defense that he had mistaken
sympathy for love, and the fact that
he got away with only $50 in dam
ages against HIM seems to show that
the jury thought his defense sound
one.
It's certainly a useful get-out, and
II every young fellow who gets hauled
up in the future for breaking hearts
or anticipating honeymoons, is 60
ing to click in the same way, girls
had better chuck the courts quick.
Personally, I'm no believer In
breach of promise cases, as have
told you before. Engagements are
like pianos-you want to try both
OF them over first, and until you've
tried 'em thoroughly you can't say
il they're your exact fit.
Pity is akin to love, we know

advantage over the girls.

so simple when he has helped him.
self freely to love for him to turn
round and say, with perfect faith
too, that it was really only sympathy
And half the dictionaries in the
country would help to support his
case, don't forget.
As | said just now, l should like
to see all breach of promise cases
done away with. The solatium for a
really broken heart can never be ade-
quately represented by pounds, shil.
lings, and pence. And heart that
is not badly fractured should find
excellent and real compensation in
having got rid OF something that was
but flash in the pan,
But as our authorities evidently
intend to continue breach OF promise
cases, it is surely better to handle
them judiciously and not to give
too many loopholes to either side.
! have always been brought up to
look upon the word love as a very
dangerous one--not lightly to be
handled. You love your own wife
for instance, but you're awfully
struck on someone ele's. There's the
difference. .\
You tell girl you're awfully crazy
on her, that she's the sweetest thing
that ever happened, or that, she's the
dinkiest thing you've met for de.
cade--and you can get away with il
safely, even though she probably
doesp't believe it.
But then. you see, she knows, same
as you mean her to know, that there
is nothing more to it than an oc.
casional supper when you both car
manage 1t.
But the moment you tell her yor
love her she reckons it's dead square
deal, and you intend to see it through
to the other side whatever happens
That's when she watches you-aAd
heaven help you if she finds you'v,
put it across her, and don't intend te

Wisdom of
the Streets
By ADA PATTERSON.

Lookout, my son. You turned a
sharp corner"
l heard the words uttered by a
benevolent policeman. Gentleness had
come hand in hand with wisdom,
along with his grizzled hair. A
younger "cop,' anxious for promo
ton, and ruthless in his means of getz
ting it, would have run in" the pink
faced youngster, intoxicated with his
new car, for speeding. He would have
painted the pink-faSed one with the
black dye of villainy. He would have
seen in him a deliberate breaker Of
the law. But older eyes see farther.
Perhaps because they are not blinded
by the dust of selfishness. The old
man OF the force was content with
his warning.
"I've warned the youngster. That's
all any of us old 'uns can do" he said
to bystander.
was glad he did not add: But, Of
course, it will do no good. They
won't learn save by experience" Do
you believe that? i don't. knew a
girl who looked timidly over the rim
of her little bowl-like life into the
wide one she was going to enter by
way of a great city, as one of its
wage earners. | heard a woman say
to this girl: Never let any man
spoil your life" Again and again that
girl remembered, and remembering,
profited. Her counselor had not said:
"The wages of sin is DEATH" The
girl, looking thoughtfully on, saw
that some sinners were a long time
dying. Her adviser did not say:
"The city is full of dangers to young
and unprotected" The girl was in
telligent, and soon, without pain to
herself, discovered that.
But whenever man talked much
about love and not at all about mar
riage, the girl looked at him with
calm, measuring eyes and asked her
self. Would this man spoil my
life?" And he was frightened at the
rage she showed. Never saw girl
cut up like that before" he grumbled
as he was swept away by the tornado
of her wrath. And so she received all
those plausible persons who boosted
of their broad views of life" and
their scorn of the conventions" Men
classified themselves to her. She cata-
logued the two classes, life spoilers
and others" The way of her life lies
among the heights, but often she
looks far below the scared, anguished
faces of the girls she knew. Her
friends words echo in her grateful
memory: Never let any man spoil
your life"
Yes, ut does some good" Yes,
they remember. Those who think,
do. 1t is only the thoughtless who
bruise their brows against the stone
wall of fotewarned experience That
girl, warned Of the sharp corners had
avoided them. Her elder friend had
done for her what the policeman did
for the pink-faced youth. Both had
warned against the sharp corners OF
life.
Life has many sharp corners, Turn'
ing from childhood into young man
hood and womanhood is one of the
sharpest. The turn from obscurity
into celebrity, from commonplace sit
uation to one Of power, is an acute
one. No sharper than the corner
that turns from the simple life into
the complex one.
| Mind your corners. All,corners are
sharp. And give grateful heed te
those who are at pains to tell yor
of them. They do not love to
preach They are not enamored o.
their own voices. They have seer
head-ons, watched smash-ups, ant
they would save you from them.
