Th« Face and Its Expression
“My boy,” said a wise father,
who knew how to piny with twelve
year old lads, <4 you do not own
your own face.”
The boy looked puzzled. He
had come to the breakfast table
with a clouded countenance, tnd
had started moodily to eat his food.
Every body had felt the shadow, of
his ill spirits His father’s unexpected
words brought him back to life,
and he looked with half-guilty ex
pression, but did not understand
what was meant.
•‘You do not own your own
face,” his father repeated “Do
not forget that. It belongs to other
people. They, not you, have to look
at it. You have no right to compel
others to look at a sour, gloomy,
and crabbed' face.
He had never thought of that,
but he understood and did not for
get. And all of us should under
stand and none of us should for
get the fact that our face’s belong
to other people.—Ex.
(i) Granivorous, living npoti
grains or other seeds. Carnivor
ous, living upon animal food.
GRKoarious, living in numbers or
flocks. Omnivorous, feeding in
discriminately on all kinds of
foods. Ruminants, animals which
chew the cud.
(a) Will you kindly give a list of
the different classes of reptiles, and
an example of each kind, und also
explain the circulation and digest
ion of reptiles which causes their
flesh to do colder than that of an
imals.
(a) Testudinata, turtles ; Lori-
CATA, alligator; Lackrtilia,
lizards; Orrhidia, snakes, also
the digestive apparatus of reptiles
is shorter in proportion than in
warm blooded vertebrates The
transition from the oesophagus to
the stomach is by a pouch-like di
lutation. The small intestines
have but few coils, and the large
intestines are short. The digestion
is sluggish, also the blood of reptiles
is much cooler than in animals or
birds. The heart has only three
cavities instead of four, two auricles
and ventricle. The arterial blood
from the lungs goes into the left
auricle, and the venous blood from
all parts of the body into the right
auricle ; both are poured into t he
si ngle ventricle, both are poured
into the single ventricle, thus mix
ing the pure and impure blood;
hence the sluggishness of the.->e
animals, reptiles having no dia
phragm, there is no division be
tween the cavities of the thorax
and abdomen, and the lungs are
not connected with air-sacs placed,
in various parts of the body, and
the eyes of reptiles differ bur little
from thoj»e of birds ; the hearing is
less complete than it is in either
mammals or birds; the sense of
smell is but little developed ; while
the 6ense of touch is almost want
ing.
(3) To what class of creatures do
Crawfish and Crabs belong.
(3) To the Crustacea ; they are all *
covered w ith a hard crust or shell.
The body consists of segments,
most of which, in the higher orders,
are united into one piece, called the
CIPHALO THORAX. Most CrUStftC-
eans live in water, and breath by
means of gills or branohioe, and
all Crustaceans have the power of
repairing injuries to themselves.
Thus, if a leg or other appendage
is broken off another soon grows in
its place, as the Crustacean grows
it becomes too large for its shell :
A rent is formed through the back
and the animal slips out, leaving a
shell us much like itself us when it
encased the living creature.
QUESTIONS FOR NEXT WEEK.
(1) What is a bill as used in the
constitution, and by how many
processes may a bill become a law?
Give the several steps.
(a) Please explain latitude and
longitude, and tell why it is a
place can have twice as much
longitude as latitude.
(3) Is it true as often said that
bats are totally blind; if so how
do they manage to fly among trees,
wires etc. without striking them.
THF HONEY BEE
When far above the boughs, starred
pink and white
With dainty blooms, the sunlit
skies of May,
In purple altitudes, with fleecy gray
Of drifting cirrus sailing out from
sight,
Hold for the dreamer vision of delight,
The bee’s boom sounds amid each
fragrant spray;
Then when south winds with June's
sweet roses play,
He seeks their aew-filled wells with
ready flight.
And all the year the clover-blossocns
know
His busy visits, and the mignonette
And honeysuckle add unto his store;
Well wots he of the buckwheat's
swaying snow;
And lily-bells that gleam with rain
drops wet
He haunts as fairies haunt some
sunlit shore.
