his fathers view of the structure

to individuality. for he remarked
that the apparently black surface

he put forth suggestion still
more extraordinary than any of
the elder Herschels, Concerning
the nature of the dazzling flake
like specks seen with powerful
telescopes covering the suns sur

Peculiar Organisms
Looked at in this point Of view,
we cannot refuse to regard them
as organisms of some peculiar
and amazing kind; and though it
would be too daring to speak Of
such organization as partaking of
the nature Of life, yet we do know
that vital action is competent to
develop both heat. light and
electricity"

When you try to convince a

on earth. he may demur a little

No man who hasn't an entirely

should marry a multiple-diyorcee.
A woman may forgive man
for breaking her heart, for that

she never forgives him for de.

If it weren't for the wedding

golf-widow would find it hard to
realize that she was married at

Nothing so disappoints and dis

ardently pursuing a woman, as
to discover that he has caught up
with her..
To a woman, a love-affair is

satisfied to give all his attention

obliged to accept the return of this merchandise
