Skill.

Rudolph Blaschka. the only min In
the world who can make perfect glass
models Of flowers and grass, is "do
ing" collection Of his works of skill
for Harvard's botanical museum.
Blaschka can make an orchid ovt of
glass, perfect even to the delicate col.
Oring. His art was passed on to him
by it's discoverer, his father.
If you can figure out what put the
notion of making glass flowers into
the brain of the elder Blaschka, you
will know what makes one man want
to be machinist, another a lawyer.
Some guiding force is back of it all,
keeping a rough balance.

PENNIES m THE BOX.
(By r. r. D. Carrier.)

I'm Uncle Sans most favored pet,
I'm hearty and I'm hale,
With nothing in the world to do
But carry round the mail;
But one thing almost breaks my heart
And my nervous system shocks,
It's the everlasting pennies
That I'm fishing from the box.
I carry stamps and envelopes
And postal cards and such,
And should like to sell few
"Twould please me very much;
But I can't sell unless they buy,
No matter how he talks,
So I have to keep on diving
After pennies in the box.
l can stand it in the summer
When the gentle breezes blow,
But it's "Glory Hallelujah"
When it's thirty 1.-TWO below!
When all your fingers and your toes
Are frozen hard as rocks,
It's anything but funny
Scratching pennies from the box.
And now, sir, confdentially,
I'll tell you something more:
A rural carrier way out west,
Forgot himself and swore.
Said he, III stand for snowdrifts,
And I'll stand the frozen locks;
But blast the measly pennies
In the blasted measly box.
When the roll is called up yonder
And we all shall gather there,
They wouldn't let the mail man in
If they knew he'd learned to swear.
If you want St. Peter to open the gate
When your rural carrier knocks,
Buy stamps, and don't be guilty
OF putting pennies in the box.

SPIDER ROSE TO OCCASION
Hard to Deny Reasoning Power to In
sect Capable Of Such "construc-
tive Reasoning"

A spider constructed its web in an
angle of garden, the sides Of the
web being attached by long threads to
shrubs at the height of nearly three
feet from the gravel path beneath. Be
ing much exposed to the wind, the
eQunoctial gales of the autumn de-
stroyed the web several times
The ingenious spider now adopted
new contryance. 1t secured a conf
cal fragment of gravel, with its larger
end upward, by two cords, one at
tached to each of its opposite sides,
TO the apex of its wedge-shaped web,
and left it suspended as movable
weight TO be opposed to such gusts of
air as had destroyed the webs preyi'
ously occupying the situation.
The spider must have descended TO
the gravel path for this special OBJ
ject, and, having attached threads to
stone suited to It's purpose, must
have afterward raised this by fixing
itself upon the web, and pulling the
weight up to a height of more than
two feet from the ground, where 1t
hung suspended by elastic cords.

Love OF Praise.

The love of praise is generally con.
nected with all the finer sensibillties
of human nature, TO be entirely des-
tltute of all this passion betokens an
lgnObe mind, on which no moral i'm
preston is easily made; for where
there Is no desire of praise, there will
be no sense of reproach. But while 1t
Is admitted TO be a natural and, in
many respects, a useful principle of
action, II Is entitled to no more than
our secondary regard II has its boun-
Diary set, by tranSgressng which II is
Mt once transformed from an innocent
into a most dangerous passion. When
passing its natural line, it becomes the
ruling spirit of conduct when the re-
gard we pay to the opinions of men
encroaches on that reverence which
we owe to the voice Of conscience and
the sense Of duty, the love of praise,
having then gone out of its proper
place, instead of elevating, debases.-
