The linst Comninnil. A day or two after tlio departure of Iho Arapahoe squaws from Camp Connor , < jenoral Connor proceeded witli his com mand down Tongue river to Us junction xvllli the YelloxvslotiG , the march occupy ing ton days. Ho reached this point about the 1st of September , ( ISli.f , ) this being the tlnio at which ho expected to inc-el llie commands of Colonel Cole nutl ColonelWalkor at this plnco. Hero the oommnnd wont into camp and the country was scouted to thc'wcstward through the Panther mountains , while scouts were also sent southward to look for Cole & and Walker's commands , as it was time for them to put in an appearance. Seven days paw-u-d by without any news being received from Colonel Colo'scominaml of 1,800 men , and General Connor , becoming uneasy concerning them , us ho knew they must bo out of provisions , ordered Cap tain North to take fifty of his I'axvneos nnil six days' rations and proceed to Powder river to sco if nny trace could bo found of their whereabouts. Accordingly on the morning of the 8th of September , Captain North arose at an curly hour , and blurted out with his Paw nees through a heavy rainstorm , which rendered it impracticable to carry any rations on pack animals. The men there fore took only a small quantity of pro visions which they could carry on their own horses , and determined to depend , in case of necessity , upon thoganio which they could kill. All day they rode through u drenching rain , and after having made thirty-live miles they went in to camp in a canon in the mountains. During the night the rain turned into sleet , which continued all the next day. When Cap- luin North and his men got out into the open plain next morning they found the storm so severe and blinding that it was impossible for them to keep their course. They had never been in the country belore , and had no guides They traveled for abolition miles with a small compass for their guide , and the storm , increasing in severity , ilnajly forced thorn to go into camp nmf remain there the rest of the day and all Jiiuht. No\t morning the sun came out bright and warm , and ilia com mand resumed the inarch , the sleet en tirely disappearmz by noon. During the day they killed some bull'aloos and pro cured a quantity of meat which they thought would be snlHciont to last them for the trip. They frequently discovered signs of Indians , und at about 3 o'clock in the alternoon two scouts , who hail been kept some distance in advnnce , re turned to the command and reported to Captain Notth that they had sighted A U10 INDIAN VILLAI1B on Powder river. The captain thereupon immediately changed his course and moved the command oil' to the right , finally going into a dcoo canon of the mountains where they would bo secreted by the heavy pines. Accompanied by throe of his most trusty men he climbed up the rooky mountain side , to the high est point , whore lie could obtain n good view of the Powder river valley , liais ing his lield irlass to his ores , ho looked down in the valley and saw Indians riding to and fro. and observed smoke in the timber arising from their topees. but from his position ho could not toll the si/0 of their camp. Captain North and his command remained secreted until dark , and then under cover of the night they cautiously wont down the Powder river to a point two or three miles below the Indian camp , on the wc.it side of the stream. They could Und no trace of the troops for whom they were looking Cap tain North sent two of his men across the river to make a little bcout , and when they returned , in the cour.so of a few liourn , they reported having found COLONUL COLF..S ' TKAII , , which Deemed to bo only two or three days old. The captain immediately crossed the whole command over the river , and taking this trail followed it up the stream for about half a milo whore it crossed to the west side , where was found the place where Colonel Cole liad camped during the storm. Here A. nouitini.i : SIOIIT met Iho gaze of the command. The ground was literally strewn with dead liorsn.s and on counting thorn their num ber footed up 000. The feelings of the men on beholding this ghastly spectacle cannot bo justly described , sunieo it to say that for n time they wore completely overcome with astonishment and wonder. especially ns they did not know how. Iho animals had rome to their death , Cap tain North's first impression \v.s that , as many of the horses had IjuciVshot through the head , - A 'rE Hini.K I'ir.iiT had taken uV.ico between the troops and the Indlr.ns , and that the troops had killed the horses and used thorn as breastworks. Places wore also f9und where fires had been built , into which the bridles , baddies and other equipments had boon thrown und burned up , the iron bits and rings nnd other iron attachments being burled in the ashes Still laboring under the 1m- irc8 ion that a terrible light had occurred Captain North concluded that it was not f afo for him to remain there vorv long with n force of only lifty men , and ho no- rordingly resumed the march on the trail , which led up the Powder river to a point from which the Indian earn ) ) , had been discovered. SlltANGK TO SVY the trail led right into this camp. Night was now approaohinirand Captain North at once started back for General Con uir's iump on Tongue river. Hilling all night and the next day ho arrived at the camp just at dark , having made the ride in twenty-tour hours , which had con. snmod parts of throe days on tlioir out ward scout , ( Jimural Connor , to whom ho reported the result of his trip , was equally at a lo.---i with the captain to arrive - rive at any satisfactory conclusion con cerning the deserted camp and the duud horses. Karlv next morning the genera ! moved out of camp with his whole command , following the old trail up Tongue river to reach Colo's command , which was known to bo out of piovuions by thU time. Forced marches wore made for 1 1 vu days up the river , and it was evident ( o Captain North that the general was greatly worded concerning the safety of C'olonol Cole On the lith ( day out , after ho | iorsos had been urisudillcd. ( ionora ) Connor went to the quai tors' of Captain North , iviul said to him , "I can't cuduru Ibis terrible uncertainty auy longer , cap tain , 1 must find Colo's eoinnuud as soon ns possible. 1 want you to take forty-live Or of your'scouls , and withlifty ton days rations ou puck-mules , go across the country from this point and try to head Cole off , and giro his men temporary relief. " "Very ' well , general , Pllstart at oncp , " rcplied'thc captain. ' 'Mere is a letter of instructions to Col- otio ! Colo,1'said the genera.as ) he handed it to lilnii "and on your nrmnl nt Pow- der.nvcr , if von nnd the trail two days old. vou are to send back live men to me , witlftlio Information. You arc then to follow ou witli the balance of your men night and dai Until .you overtake Colonel Colo. If the trail is over two days old , then you are to send live men ahead on the trail witli the letter of instructions , and you are to return to camp. I will re main hero till 1 hear from you. " Captain North .soon had his command mounted , and they started out at once. Thny rode until midnight , nnd then rested until daylight , when they resumed tie ! march. Karlv in * the afternoon they reached the Powder river and .struck Cole s tiail in the valley , which on close examination looked to bo less than two days old. Captain North thereupon wrote n note to Hint cllect to ( Scncral Connor , staling also that he would overtake Cole and bring the command to the crossing of Clear creek , where ho asked ( Jonoral Connor to mee.l him. The captain , after despatching the live couriers with this note to ( icncral Connor , pushed forward on the trail nnd rode lifty miles from this point by 10 o'clock lliat night , passing two of Colo's camps , where Iho tioops had spout Iho night , which proved con clusively that Iho trail was older than ho had at ttrst supposed , for If It was only two days old ho ought to have overtaken Cole by this time. Every now and then dead horses , which had fallen in their tracks from starvation and exhaustion , plainly marked the trail , and told \ rur or TKUKIIIU : SITFUIHSO which struck deep In to the hourl of Cap- lain Noilh , who ne\t morning at day light pushed on with renewed cnonry. At 'J o'clock in the afternoon ho sighted Cole's column moving up Powder river. This was on the Tilth of September , just nineteen days after thu time for which thn command had been supplied with rations. Captain North and his Pawnees rode up lo the command on a full gollop , their sudden appearance creating an inde scribable commotion and excitement among the famished and disheartened soldiers , who cheered with iin : Avn.wisr KrmirsiASM and throw up their hats for joy. It was like the joy of Iho shimvrccked mariner in mid-ocean upon discovering a ship approaching preaching lo the rescue. There wore eighteen hundred men , Colonel Walker having joined Colonel Cole with liis command on Powder river during Iho lalter part of August. Col onel Cole , being the senior olliccr. had assumed the command of thu united forces. The men were actually in a star ving condition. Thirty-live had DIED I'llOM Sl'AUVATION and exposure , and all the rest looked thin and emaciated , and their horses looked no bettor. Many of the animals had also died from starvation and the remainder wore mere skeletons. The soldiers bad cut out a little meat fron the hams of some ot the horses which they had killed while a little llesh yet remain ing upon them. Twelve hundred cavalry men had been reduced to footmen by Iho death of their horses or by reason of their being so poor and weak that they could not carry the least weight. There wore only six hundred horses loft. The men who liad been compelled to travel on foot had became lame and footsore and had wrapped their foot iu pieces of saddle- blankets and gunny sacks , and it was with great pain and dilliculty that they could walk at all. The country was full of prickloy pears , and it had been almost impossible to avoid stepping on them , and thus wounding their feet at almost every stop. Their sufferings had boon terrible in the extreme , and we venture lo say that no body of soldiers ever passed through a more painful experi ence. THE STAUV1XG MUX all flocked around Captain Noith and his command to got something to cat , and seeing that the Pawnees bad some sup plies the soldiers ollered us high as live dollars oacb for a piece of hard tack. They had recently boon paid off and had plenty of money , which they begged Iho Pawnees to take in exchange for provis ions. Captain North , however , ordered the Pawnees not to lake any of the money under penalty of being severely punished , but to immediately distribute the crackers among the soldiers , giving two oraokers to each man. There were thirteen crackers to a ration , and the ! 300 rations thorcfoi o contained 8.000 crackers. The beans , bacon , collee and sugar were distributed in like manner , ouch man receiving about one-sixth of a full ration. As soon as this distribution was com pleted , Captain North reported in person to Colonel Cole , who had no idea of where ho was going and possessed no knowl edge of the country whatever. Ho only knew from his maps that by following up the Powder river it would bring liim within oa.sy roach of the North Platte river , and being aware that there wore troops stationed on that stream , ho had entertained hopes of reaching them before being completely prostrated by starvation. When Captain North in formed him that tie was now not far trom supplies ho was OVHIU'OMK WITH JOV and wept , The captain know exactly the location of the command and that tl'O ' distance to Camp Connor was ubout twenty-live miles. Colonel Cole atonco ordered a commisaiouod ollioor with a detachment of the best mounted troops and four uiuki teams lo ride all that af ternoon and evening and make all pos sible haste to Camp Connor with a requi sition for supplies. He directed the o 111 cor to return the next day as far as possible , and meantime Iho whole command would move up the river. Up to this time the mystery of the dead horses had remained unsolved in Ciptnin North's mind , and that evening ho asked Cole to explain it. "IT is Qt'iri : A STOHV , " rfiiid the roiouel , "and when I tell it to you , you will sco that we've had a terrible experience for the last two or three weeks. On the 8th day of September I started out from Tongno river in a fear ful rain storm , and wo were attacked by Red Cloud himself with 2,500 warriors , Ho was anxious to stop our march up thu I'owdor river , as his whole camp , num bering 0,000 or 10,000 persons in all , xvns located on the stream , and wo wore bound to strike it if we Kept on. During this nun storm the cavalrymen wore in their saddles all day long lighting these 3,000 warriors. There was no cessation of hostilities until night came , when we returned to our camp , which was located on an open plain , on thu west bank of the river , as you yourself know Tlio bank of the river was about eight foot high. The cam ) ) ran out from the bank ol the liver about the length of two companies of cavalry , Our front was formed with fourteen companies of cavalry and some artillery , and at one end of the camp was the wagon train. The horses formed the hit ) of defense inside of winch the sol diers were stationed , thus being protected in a hollow squaro. The animals wore tied by their halters to the picket line , They liad boon worked do hard dining the day that they had became tireil out and overheated , and when the rain tinned into slcct and snow , and Hum iro/o , it chilled thorn to death. They wore tied and could not. ot course , move about to exercise themselves and keep up a cir culation. .Many of tlio horses next morn ing wore found standing up so still' that they could not move one foot in front of the other , and wo had to shoot thorn , " "That explains the whole mystery , col onel , which so worried myself and the Pawnees. Von burned tlio equipments to keep them from falling into the hands of the Sioux' , " said the captain , "Ved , as wo could not carry Anything of that kind with us. " why didn't you g6 into the large grove of tiniber just "below your camp ? It seems lo me that that would have afforded you protection from the Indians and Iho storm I was out in thu storm and my men had ridden their horses very hard , but when Iho rain turned into sleet 1 sought protection in a ravine. " "I could not get into the timber as the Indians hold ll from mo. " Captain North did not press his inquir ies any further , but ho thought it very strange that Colonel Cole had not made a light lo roach the timber even if ll was hold by Iho Indians , | Colonel Cole was afterwards court-marlialod for lack of judgment in not going into this very grove of limber , but ON lug to Ills former good conduct and gallantry in the civil war , ho was acquitted ith u reprimand.1 The next morning Colonel Cole moved his command , and the men , knowing that sunuliea xyere near , revived and marched to within six miles of Camp Con nor before they met the supply train on its return They had now boon twenty-one days without anything to eat except the meat of starved horses , and they had nearly uix en up all hope when Captain North came to their relief. The point at which Captain North had overtaken Cole was about forty miles above Clear Crook where ( General Con nor hud ordered the captain lo conduct thu command but Cole had marched forty miles above the mouth before North had caught him. ( "aplain North detailed l/ieuteiiant Muroy nnd ton of the Paw nees to return to the creek , and there await tlio arrival of ( tcneral Connor and notify him of Colo's arrival at Camp Connor. Tlio lieutenant reached Iho crossing the s.uno day Unit ( Scncral Con nor did , llio general having made a forced march up Tongue river. General Connor had a lrain of 350 wagons with him , loaded with supplies suHieioiit lo last the whole united command for a sixty days' campaign , lie at once took up his march for Camp Connor , the journey occupying two days. Captain North , who was a conlidantof the general , well know that the demoral ixed condition of Cole'.s command xxonld frustrate all his former plans , and wishing to ascertain from the general what ho in tended lo do. he rode oul sonic eight or tin miles and mot him as ho approached wilh his command. Captain North gave the general a graphic description ot the condition of Colo's command and in formed him of the great number of In dians which Cole had encountered on several occasions during his march up the Powder river. "What do you propose to do now , gen eral V" asked the captain. " 1 propose to give those troops two weeks' rest , and then organize the dis mounted men as a regiment of infantry , and take the whole command down Pow der river and clean out those Indians , " replied the general. On reaching Camp Connor , however , tlio plans of tlio general were entirely defeated. A mail had arrived from Fort Laramie , and the very Jirst tiling that was handed to General Connor was ' AN OI'KIOtAL IHXTMKXr , and upon opening it he found it to bo an order relieving him form tiio command ot the Dtslrict of the Plains , and direct ing him to turn over his district to Gen eral Frank Whcaton , a regular army otlicer. General Connor , upon starting oul on this campaign the war of the rebellion being over and volunteer troops bomg mustered out every day feared thai when ho got well into the Indian country and had his plans arranged for a cam paign , orders might come to relieve him just at the time when ho should bo about to crown his efforts with success. Ho therefore determined to cut off communi cation , and loft strict orders with bis ad jutant general , George F. Price , at Fort Laramie , to detain all official mail for him nt that post until bis return. Not withstanding those directions , the very order which General Connor had taken such pains lo prevent reaching him , had noxy come. It had no doubt got inlo the mail Ihroiiirh some mistake or careless ness on the part of tlio adjutant at Fort Lurumic. General Connor was very much grieved and chagrined upon reading the order. Ho considered His OAMI'AIOX A FAILUKE thus far not withstanding there had boon bcvural good lights and quite a number of Indians killed and ho felt very reluc tant about abandoning it without making any further eftort to bring it to a success- fultormination. There was nothing for him to do , however , but to obey the instructions - structions , and ho ut ouco gave" orders to his troops to prepare for the march to Fort Lttramic , where General Wheaton was in wailing. lie then directed live ambulances to bo got ready for him , and taking quite a number of Ids otlicefo with him , including Captain North , ho started for Fort Laramie , arriving there in the fir l week of Oclobur , after a live days journey , the distance being about 250 miles , ilio general turned over his com mand of the district to General Wheaton and proceeded to Camp Douglas , at Salt Lake , whence ho was ordered to Wash ington , where lie was promoted lo the ranlc of major-general of volunteers , and was then muslored out of the service. His troops arrived at Fort Laiamio about ton days after his departure , and tlio volunteers were ordered to their res pective states and mustered out. Thotimoof enlistment of the Pawnees expire. ! on the 15th of October , and Gen eral Whcaton informed Captain North that ho would either muster tlio .scouts out of the service , or order them lo their reservation to relieve a company of the Seventh cavalry , and that North should have command of the pott during tlio winter. Captain North accepted the lat- ler proposition , and immediately started with the Pawnees for their reservation , distant six hundred miles. They reached homo without anything ot interest oc curring on the way , and in April , 1800 , they were mustered out. Captain North spent the summer at the agency witli the Indians. In Iho month of October he received the ap pointment of trader for the Pawnee Iribe tioni President Andrew Jackson , and bo conducted the trading post during the winter of 1 ( ! 0 07. [ 10 in : CONTINUED xr.xr SUNDAY ] 'llio Man Who Drove Down Btntrs. St , Nicholas : This Count Sander lived in a line mansion on the Sclilosshcrg in Hilda. Ho was very fond of hordes , as all Hungarians aro. and his feats of horsemanship were i.ol only eccentric but dangerous. Ho would force his horses lo plunge down from rocky heights , to scale almost porpcdicuhir elills , to dasli across the Danube upon lloatmg cakes of ice , to leap over slreams and cha.sms , and to clear fences , walls , and oven moving carriages at a single bound. One of Ids' most foolhardy escapades occurred one day in the year 1827 , There was in the oily of Hilda along and steep stone staircase which connected the bitxlior section of the town , around tlio SchloKsborg , with ono of the lower sections , known as Chris tian street. Tliis staircase was not tar from tlio mansion of the Count Sander - dor , and on that particular day the count had for his riding companion a Gorman artist named .lohunn 1'restol , as bold and daring a man as the count. Suddenly , as they they drove past the staircase , the count , almost without a word , turned his four-in-hand toward the stoop passageway , and Kicking his long whip above llio ears of the leaders , drove the team headlong down the slides. How the wheels must have bumped and rallied down llio slops ! The count was a very export driver , and could truiiio his plunging steeds- with much skill and ease , so that his ride down stairs WAS not us fearful or dangerous as it would have with a lcs sKiltiill driver ; but it was wild enough us it was , aud oven llio bold ar tist tound the staircase long enough for such a downward dash.

If , however , one is possessed of a conscience that rare factor which so seldom outers into the problem of life imlill'crcnca is impossible. Hut since llioro arc so few whom Ihis proposlllon nllects it need scarcely bo considered. It is , of course fullest in man , since wom an's nature being more oxrjuisit , emo tional and impressible , is incapable of entire and unallowed indiilcreneo. A woman , if she i.s cunning and shrewd , may seem more indifferent than tlio most indifferent men , and yet all the while bo suffering the extremes ! torture. Hy this I do not wi h to insiuuate.lbat woman is more conseionliousthan man , for lhab would be declaring man the less moral of the two sexes a thing which there is much reason lor doubting. Alan is strong , and morality when it exists in a degree beyond the swoop and sway of sense must , necessarily , bo an attri bute of strength. So its opposilo , or perhaps I should'sayils , counlorparl , im morality , slanding in , , llio same relaliou to weakness thai dnorality stands to strength , is mosHikoly to bo a part of woman's naturefar'-too ' often her cliiet trait. The peculiarities which make woman the peer of mfcn in religionmake her also tlio poor in immorality. She is a bundle of contradictions and incon- sisleneiesan'l has a million chordswhich , if touched , vibrate in her heart ; and therein lies her peril. Heart and sold are more to her than brain and conscience. In fact , when the. lirkt two are stirredIho others are forgolfen. ; Nay , oven more , they are stilled aid ) crushed out for the time. She acts independently of them , without the power of rcsislancc with out knowledge or volition. Alone , by herself , aho does bravest lulUo against that which is is atonco woman's bliss and destruction ; but to turn her back upon the man she loves il she does that she is too inferior a woman to be worth any man's thought or love. A true woman qno in whom there is genuine nobility finds more sweetness in trusting than in doubting ; and to doubt her Jovor , when all the vehemence of her heart and soul arostirredjis to her the greatest and most damningsin she can commit. She may doubt tlio propriety of a tiling , and argue against it mentally , but set her pulses throbbing , and then .iway with ration ality ! Repentance may bo and nearly always is hers , but resistance never ! Woman plunges into sensuous sin with all her faculties dulled and blunted , save those which impel heron. She does not act indilj'orontly , but unconsciously. Man in this is directly her opposite : ho acts recklessly and regardless of con c- ( | iionce. With women , there are for the time no consequences. livery libro of her being has been .set vibrating , and no longer a rational , reasoning creature she goes on as if swept forward by a resist- lo'-s stream , into the very tninir from which her delicacy { .brinks in her calmer moments. Man sins voluntarily and against the constant admonitions ot his conscience. Indifference is the same to him that tenderness and quivering sensi bilities are to women , only , in the end , she weeps bilter tears of woo aud repent ance ) , while Ins indiHorcnco stands him in good stead. It is generally the nature of man to bo imlillerent. That is Iho reason why man's love seldom lasts be yond his honeymoon. And perhaps it is wisest so. If man's nature was as tender - dor , clinging and sympathetic as wom an's , comnierco would never have been organized ; because with the propensi ties and liner sensibilities of the two sexes alike , man could never tear him self away from the recipient of his carosies , and so the great world of business would stand still. These whoso glimpses at lifo are wholly superficial , can not , of course , understand tins , but no man or woman with enough courage to look below the surface can fail lo see Unit I have spoken the truth. I do not bolioyo that it i.s consclmicn which keep.- , woman from or makes her regret excesses , mental or otherwise , but that it is Hie same exquisiteness of soul whichever over semis her in Iho ilireclien which the world calls wrong. She sins nnd she siill'ers , ami both from the same cause. She siill'ers bec.luse the sin she does shocks unit hurt * the same sensibilities \vlio-o pulses tempt 'her into sin.Man stilles and smothers his conscience will- fulljv-proiiicditatedly.

Wilh Iho lirsl blow his cunscionco is wounded past healing , and each succeeding shock but dulls and blunts- him tlio more , until hisindifl'oreneo it. aacomploto as a piece of line art.

It is dllllcult hero lo givd dellnitc examples , but everybody Knows how , in the subtle p ychologv of falling in love , there are involvca iniiumcrablo minor elements , jihy-iral and mental , which strike us exactly because of their abso lute adaptation to form with ourselves an adequate union. Of course , wo do not definitely seek out aud discover such qualitic * : indinct works far moro Intui tively than that ; but we find at last , by subsequent observation , how true nnd how trustworthy woio its immediate in- dicaton ! . Thai is to say , those men dee o who were wi'-o enough or fortunate cnnuirh to follow the earliest promplinp-s of their own licnrt. , andnottobo ashamed of thai divincsl and deepest of human in stitutions , love at first sight. I do not doubt thai , as the world goes ou , u deeper sen o of moral responsibility in tlio matter of inarrhigo will giow up among us. Hut It will not take tlio false direction of Ignoring these , our pro- foumlcst nnd holiest inMincLs. Marriage for money may go ; mairiage for rank may go ; marriage for pixiiion may go ; but marriage for love , 1 believe and trust , will lust forever. Men In the future will probably feel that a union wilh their cousins is posilivolv wicked ; that a union witli the o lee like llioni in person or disposition is at least uiulcslnihln ; that a union based upon consideration of wealth or any other consideration save consider ations of immediate- natural impulse , is liaso and disgraceful. Hut to the ou d of time Ihey will continue to tool , in spite of doctrinaires , lhal Iho voice of Nature is better than the voice of the lord chan cellor or the roval society ; aud that the instinctive desire for a particular help- male is a suier niiiiio tor Iho ultimate haptilne sbotli of the raceaud the indivi dual. It is not the foolish fancies of youth thai will have to be got rid of , but the f'tolish , wicked and mliehievons in terference of parents or out sidcrs. What iHliove ?

A Natural AVoinnnly Instinct. Washington Post : One of tlio strong est of feminine instincts i.s to spank. The little girl of 0 spanks her doll , oven while the sympathetic tears roll down her checks. She keeps up the practice xvlion ttroxvn lo young ladyhood , upon her little brothers ami sisters , if .sho bo fortunatn enough to have auy ; and from then on her children and grandchildren or some- bod.yeUo's children and grandchildren receive the benefits in n matured form , of an art learned in infancy , until she oes hence to a boiler land , and even then , perhaps , a wide Hold for tlio exorcise of her powers i.s before her , among tlio little angels in Heaven.

The j'oiing Indies stood before the orna ment for some time in apparent admira tion ot tlio excellent workmanship , when suddenly a thought seemed to strike ono of them. She looked cautiously around to see if she was observed , and seeing no one , for tlio xvriter xvas hid behind a pil lar , and no oiu else xvas in siixht , she smiled happily , took tlio Klovo from oil' her right band , raised that member and administered to tlio little clay imago a , most thorough spanking.

This literary work of women i.s mostly confined to tlio xvriting of novels or short blories , although an occasional xvork of history , biography , or even of science bears a feminine name , In one depart ment especially are women taking tlio lead , and that is the production ot juve nile books and the conduct of juvenile ning.i7.ines , There never xvas a lime in llio history of the world xvhen the chil dren had so ninny , so valuable or so en tertaining and instructive books nnd mngax.lnes prepared for them , and tills is mainly done bv xvoinen , and done xvell.

Five of Ihe constituents are gases and eight me solids. The largest constituent is oxy gen , of which the average , 151 pound , or eleven stone , man holds 07'JO pounds. The latler , Iho great supporler of com- 'jiihtion in the human body , exists in a condition of utmost vuinprcfMon. If the ! )7 ) pounds of oxygen xxere hot free fiom Iho body it would fill a apace of 1,000 cubic. Of hydrogen Iho eleven slono only holds 15i. ( ) pounds , bill , if set free , this quantity would expand to 2,150 cubic- led. The amount of nitrogen piiuionl is I.bU ) pounds of ehloune , 1.75 pounds , of Iliionne , O.'Ji pounds , or ii.5 ounces. The above 11 vo gates , if set liee , would to gether till a space of about-1,000 , eubio feel. Need xve bo surprised if , xvith all these gaecn bottled up within him , even the average man has occasional fits of explosion xvheii things do not happen to go smoothly xxith him. Wo might carry speculation fuillier , and explain hoxv the dill'erent solid elements of the human frame , if concentrated , xvotiid iorin varinus-si/cil bodies Snfllce it to sny that the i-olid constituents comprlto caihon , ! jl 10 pounds ; phosphorus , 1 7G pounds , sulphur , 0."J pounds or ! l.5 ounces ; boides metals , all base metals or metalloids. There are no piccioiis metals in Die human body , and even the baser kinds present aio not found in quantities Milli- eicnt lo oiler inducements to mining companies.
