HUMAN JEALOUSY
flic Difference netvreen the PnnnIon
In n Man niul a Woman
The mans jealousy is a stormy sea
flooding everything tearing down and
devouring everything in him that is
strong tilling his innermost heart ab
sorbing iil rivers of feeling and de
stroying his mind The womans jeal
ousy is a narrow turbulent treacherous
torrent which hides its depth and high
above which rise hard and silent banks
it heightens her sensibility and
strengthens her mind
The jealous man is a wrathful lion
he is noble and hunger only forces him
to tear his prey to pieces The jealous
woman is an infuriated snake she s
vain and passion only tempts her to
sting The anger of the jealous mm is
directed against the object of his love
and interrupts ins love and that of the
jealous woman is directed against her
rivals and her love is intensified by it
Jealousy makes a fool of a man it
makes him ridiculous and lowers him in
the love and esteem of the woman but
a woman gains in wit and charm by her
jealousy and it makes her more attrac
tive to the man Jealousy is a terrible
sharp weapon which a woman uses
lightly in order to cut a few sweets on
which to feed her vanity oiten she even
wounds with it the man she love in
order to crijoy his sufferings The man
disdains this cruel thing though did he
use it it would rarely miss its object
of awakening the dormant love of a
woman of bringing hidden love to the
surface an I of creating lnve where
there was none From The German

PYGMY HIPPO AND ELAND
Two AninmlN of Africa Tliat Are
Practically Unknown
There are two animals practically un
known to the outside world These are
the pygmy or Liberian hipprJtnmus
and the Derbian eland The first named
is just what its name implies a pygmy
hippopotamus differing from the larj er
and common variety in tliree respects
only In the first place it is much
smaller than the common Hippopota
mus amphibius being no larger than
an ordinary fair sized hog in the sec
ond place it differs somewhat from the
common hippo in the character cf its
teeth and in the third place instead
of spending its time in the rivers and
lakes in large herds it wanders about
through the jungles singly or in pairs
much after the manner of swine m
search of mast Owing to tho fact that
it does not go in herds and is hard to
distinguish against the dark back
ground of jungle thickets it is an ex
ceedingly diilicult animal to hunt or
find ifanything the legs of the dwarf
Liberian hippopotamus are a trifle lon
ger in proportion than are those of the
common river hippopotamus
Next to the Liberian hippopotamus
the Derbian eland of west Africa
which the Mandingoes call jinke jan
ko is louay the least known of all
rare and strange animals Outing
The Printers Devil
Aldus Manutius a printer in Venice
to the holy church and the doge em
ployed a negro boy to help him in his
office The boy was believed to be an
imp of satan and went by the name of
the printers devil In order to pro
tect him from persecution and confute
a foolish superstition Manutius made a
public exhibition of the boy and an
nounced that any one who doubted him
to be flesh and blood might come for-
wnvd and much him to make sure Ihe
mistaken impression was removed but
before this time the name printers
devil had been attached to the boy and
was thenceforth applied generally to
the boyish assistants in a printing of
fice
Killer of Russias Title
The general allusion to the ruler of
Russia as the czar is strictly speaking
incorrect His official title is em
peror and autocrat Czar is the old
Russian word for lord or prince and
was abandoned by Teter the Great on
his triumphal return from Poltava his
crowning victory over Charles A11
of Sweden Since then the Russian
monarch has been officially entitled
emperor and at the congress of Vien
na iu 1S15 his right to the imperial
term was admitted by the powers
with the proviso that though he was
emperor he had no precedence over
the kings of western Europe St

The Lawyers Habit
The legal formality of addressing a
court sticks to many a lawyer of con
gressional preferment It is nothing un
usual to hear an impassioned orator in
the house pausing in his argument or
breaking in upon the argument of an
other exclaim Now if your honor
please Of course the house always
marks the slip with a burst of loud
laughter In the senate where there
are also many lawyers it is rarer to
hear the familiar words because de
bate there is more sedate
