Society Editors Xastract Their Uses. The society editor was humming line that ran something like this: "Oh, the queer things we do and the queer things we say." "What are Eome of them?" demand ed the man who does a little of overr uling. "Well," replied the society editor, "today a young man came in to get a society item in tho paper. It was about a theater party or something of that sort, and he had it all nicely written out, and down at tho bottom of the page was the statement that the party would be chaperoued by jJihs Blank." " Well?" said the man who does a lit tie of everything, but who is neverthe less not posted on society matters. "Well," explained the society edi tor, "of course there ia no law, written or unwritten, that says a party of young people may not bo chaperoned by an unmarried woman, although it is not usual, for she is supposed under such circumstances to be of mature ago and considerable experience. " 'This .Miss JlanK is not a young lady, I suggested, and he was angry m a.minute. " Who sayssho isn't:' he demanded Then ha added, 'I happen to know that she is just 19 years old. " 'She can't very well chaperon the party, then, I said. " 'Who says she can't?' ho demanded again. 'She's just as good as auy of the swells on the Lake Shore drive, and dou'tyou forger it. "I explained to him very carefully that a chaperon should be a matron or a woman of mature years, and he quiet ed down. " 'Well,' he said, 'of course wo've got to have a chaperon so's to be in style. The girls are all set on doing the thing right and proper, and we boys have un dertaken to seo it through. Maybe Miss Jones would do for a chaperon. She's 22 years old.' " 'Hardly,' I replied. 'If you feel that yon must have a chaperon, tho thing for yon to do is to invite some matron to accompany you. ' " 'Well, I guess not,' he answered, with emphasis. 'Why, that would spoil half the fun, and besides we'd "have to put up for her ticket If one of tho girls can't bo the chaperon, you can just cross that part of it out.

"They arc," ha declares, "sweet, polit9, gra cious and courageous; they do not cum or swear; they do not use slaug, and are not drunkards. Most of them ride well on horseback and can use the six shooter, but do not want to take away a man's job or position." Could a moro engag ing picture be drawn? These lovely compounds of sweetness and strength know their power, but do not abuse it. They may rosqpt injury in the most ef fective fashion, but they are not mean. They will hesitate before shooting a man who has a family dependent upon him. They ara no mere amazons. The fact that they do not curse and swear shows that they possess also the gentler domestic virtues. Those who aro in search of the ideal girl should purchase a ticket for Texas. Providence Journal.

NATURE OF LIFE. A Talk ob the Interaction of the Constit uents of Protoplasm. Herbert Spencer's definition of the nataro of life impli.es, as is well known, a continuous adjustment of internal to external relations, says the London Lancet. In other words, vitality is pre served by interactions going on between the constituents of the protoplasm. On the face of it this view must bo very materially modified in the light of some exceedingly interesting experiments re cently brought to the uptico of the Royal society by Horace Brown, whose classic researches cn that interesting class of ferments the enzymes are well known. He has found that by submit ting seeds to the very low temperature of evaporating liquid air i. e., from 183 degrees O. to 192 degrees O. for 110 consecutive hours their power of germinating is not in any way impair ed. Since the above temperature is con siderably below that at which ordinary chemical reactions take place, the re sult is very remarkable aud would ap pear to show that although n state of complete chemical iuertuess in proto plasm may be established it does not necessarily lead to a destruction of its potential activity. Is this protoplasm thus brought to a "resting" condition to burst into activi ty on restoring favorable conditions? If so. what becomes of life during this OTT3 COUKTXT nUEHDS.

The liviug portions pnsh out again,, however, aud generallv bear as abundantly' as before. In the vicinity of Philadelphia there aro numerous trees, planted by the early faernian settlers, which bear every year. Single or isolated trees sometimes fail to bear fruit on account of the pollen bearing flower maturing and scattering pollen before the nut bearing flower is in condition to receive it, aud for this reason crops are more assured when a number of trees are planted together. In this way some of the pollen bearing cat? Jans are conditioned so as to be in bloom before the tiraa that the nut bearing flowers make their appearance. Alee han's Monthly. The Bride's Perplexity.

"Dressed Up to tho Nines." I beg to offer a pure guess as to this expression. Perhaps others will guess something better. I think that it ia merely a variety of the phrase "dressed up to the eyes. " This is a well known expression. The "H. E. D." gives an example of "mortgaged up to the eyes." We frequently find the plural eyne. In fact, it occurs in Shakespeare and Spen ser. We also find neyo for eye. I give a quotation for ueyes (i. e., eyes) in "A Student's Pastime," page 21. Tho "H. E. D." gives the plural nyen (i. e., neyne), but without a reference. Halli well gives a still more extraordinary plural form viz, nynon, with a refer ence to tho "Chrouicon Viloduneiise." - Tfeis-forni ueyno arbseTfrom the, use of my neyuo or thy neyne instead of myn eyne, or Jtnyn eync. But it could also be used.with the dative H)f the article, of which tho Mid. Enr. form was then. This occurs in such phrases as at then ae (also atten ale, atte nale), at then ende (also at the nende), for then ones (also for the nones), Mod. E. for the nonce). Hence to then evna is 9 rwrfprfc- ly correct phrase, and to the neyne is a perfectly admissible variant of it If this bo spelled to the nine, the sense is lost; and the addition of "s" becomes accessary for suggesting the plural of the numeral nine, for the populace always yiasists on an etymology and prefers an obvious one, even if it gives no sense.
