It is & notable fzct that migratory ani- mals, and particularly birds which spend their summers in the north and winters in the south, seem never to give evidences of old age, and certzainly no person has ever seen one suffering from the feeble- ness of senility. In fact, they appear to have no death except that of accidental or intentional violence. Life, the dearest of all of our posses- sions, 1s, for some unaccountable reason, the least prized. A man will always risk his life to save his hat and court apo- plexy to Tecover a collar button. With certain death staring us all In the face, who is there that gives any time to the care of his body with the cbject, of preserving its life and usefulness? We paint our houses, cover our guns with rust preventive, varnish the pictures, sheath our ‘ships Wwith copper and tar their rigging—all to the end that thefr inanimate substance may be preserved. But our bodies that have earned us all we have—the only home of our soul on earth—we leave them to be preyed upon by weather and time, and seem to take delight in torturing our-corporeal frames with clothes that incommode and hinder, with foods that poison, or at best 'half nourish and corrupt; with drinks that in- flame and rasp, with numbing narcotics that short circuit the nerves, waste their precious life currents and wear out the human dynamo. Nature is indeed kind 10 us to’ permit all this and still work faithfully trying to repalr the damage; but she does take a little satisfaction in giving us twinges of pain as a reproof.

W Until the study of these lasge-celled liz- ards was commenced it had seemed as though the search for the esserice of life, its nature or origin, was hopeless. The more the subject was Investigated the farther away it seemed, as difficulties! arose not singly but in éver-broadening vistas, piled on each other as mountains, range upon range, where the traveler,, @8 he accomplishes the ascent of each eminence, is confronted by half a dozen higher and more distant which were all unsuspected before. So little, in fact, is known of life that 1t Is not possible to even intelligently theorize upon it, It is difficult to concelve how little we know, for so much has been discovered recently that it seems as though science had everything in its grasp, yet the very simple question of whether the earth is a molten globule. with. & thin crust on it, or a solld sphere of moderate coolness. is TACE I LAP OVER NO.IT puis LAP OVER NO,IY JAYA yet unsettled.

According to these recent discoveries it is the potency of this life spirit that moves our bodies and enables us to per- form our labor; that the muscles are mére inert and powerless tools, incapable of movement in themselves except as mov~* kv this subtle fluid, which is in- visible and intangible. To illustrate this the steam engine is taken as an example. The engine itself has no power. The steam in the boiler is invisible.

If you must have more frills and fur- belows, a yard of lace and baby ribbon may be stitched at the top of the corset. Lace at 40 cents will do very well and still keep below the three dollar mark. This corset will fit any walst from twen- ty to twenty-six inches. If it should prove too large, number § may be trimmed off. Who says we can't copy Paris fashions upon our home sewing machines?

Yet this unfeelable, invisible something that we call steam, can move the lifeless parts of the engina wih a power which will gvercome ail earthly resistance, crushing rocks and scaling mountains. A yet more Intangible force is the electric current which ener- gizes the dynamo, doing its work when properly adjusted and controlled without noise, heat or any form of atmospheria disturbance. Shut oft the steam, stop the electric current, and the engine and dynamo are both *“dead.” No more dead. though, than they were befors in reality—merely that the energy has de- parted. So in the human body it is the unseen energy which has the real strength and does the work. In the coarser cells of the Batrachoseps the working of this force may be studied, its true nature discovered, and in time it may be brought under control as steam and electricity have .been. Little Iliss Peary Was Born Farther North Than Any Other Whitg Child in the World. ITTLE Marle Aknighito Peary, daughter of the famous explorer, was born farther north than any other white child in the world, dur- ing one of her father's expeditions to find the pole. Her birthday occurred on Sep- tember 12, 1893, at Anniversary Lodge, then Lieutenant Peary’s headquarters in N%n'lhern Greenland. ce since Marie has visited the coun- i& of her birth, once in the summer of nd once again this year. It was on July 29 last that Marie and her mother sailed from St. Johns, N. F., on the stanch ship the Windward to join Lieu- tenant Peary in the frozen north. But it is principally with her visit in 1897 that these few lines ares concerned. Her arrival was the I‘Ell of a great cel- ebration among the Eskimos, wio bad not seen her since she was 11 months old. An Eskimo named Keshu was the first to reach the ship, and .is delight was un- bounded when the nurse held up little Marie in her arms. He recognized the child at once, notwithstanding the change that a few years had made in her appear- ance, and he danced about her so vigor- ously in his excess of delight and kept up such a succession of shouts that Marie at first was somewhat alarmed. But perhaps memories, lonz forgotten, came back to her and soothed her fears. Keshu was quickly followed by all the inhabitants of Cape York who were able to jump along the ice, and they gathered in a ring around Marie, their faces shin- ing with pleasure and all ejaculating in chorus, “Na, na, nana, nana'" which is an Eskimo greeting of welcome and expres- sive of great delight.—Ledger Monthly,
