Sight in Plants.

That plants actually may see does
not seem so impossible to those who
have watched a grapevine reach
across a space of several feet and
obtain support for its extending growth
by fastening it's tendrils to neighbOr-
ing objects. The long tendrils sent
out by the grapevine sweep in long
courses through the air until they
touch some fixed object, such as a
tree limb, post or a wire, around
which they quickly turn and bind them
selves tenaciously. The seeming &C
curacy with which the tendrils reach
out for distant supports is almost
enough to convince one that the plants
see what they are reaching for. An
other example of the seemingly intel
ligent and accurately directed actions
of plants is furnished by the insecti-
vorous plants, such as the Venus Fly
Trap, which instantly closes upon and
absorbs as food insects that alight
upon it.

II is also the most difficult animal to

tiYes, but in fact it resembles more a
large pig with short legs brown, short.
haired hide, short ears. a stump tail
and prehensile lip. 1t has three toes
on the hind feet and four on the front.
1t has a keen sense of hearing and of
smell and any unusual presence in the
jungle is detected at once Its skull
AM breast are so strongly built that
the densest jungle proves no bar to
its progress. To shoot one the hunter
must be quicker than with a deer, for
the tapir has no curiosity and runs at
the first hint of danger At bay il
fights with its forefeet, and no dog
of the jungle will attack it. 1t is cas-
lily domesticated when taken young

Passing Judgment.

II is possible for no one to acquire
more than a limited amount of the re-
suits of culture, to form an entirely
original judgment oftener than in a
few isolated cases. But each one can
learn to understand that it is mark
of culture not to pronounce Judgment
upon questions with which he is not
conversant. Good taste prescribes that
Just as one refuses to wear false jewels
if one possesses no real ones, so one
should refrain from pronouncing judg-
ment upon persons or questioners upon
which one has not formed an opinion
through ones own impressions. When
this honesty begins to be considered a
mark of spiritual refinement, then VIII

that was always ready to sniff at any
thing she doubted. She doubted al
most everything that was told her,
but told it as the truth to the next
person she met. She was slender and
small, with an alert movement like
a sharp blackbird. and she always
wore dull black clothes with dazzly
white lines near together. They
seemed to reverse in color the fine
lines of dissatisfaction in her thin,
pursed lips, and up and down on her
narrow forehead, vanishing under her
gray, friZZy hair.-From The Obses-
