It is often remarked that the infancy of human beings today is longer than It formerly was. This seems to be in evltable. owing to the higher state of soelety. In a general way the taore highly developed an animal 1m the longer an apprenticeship it will have to serve before it la ready to cut loose from parental and other restraints and shift for itself Two interesting books have reoently been brought out, which treat of this matter in infancy as applied to the va rlous animals. The period of infancy varies very widely, Mice have prac tically no infancy, but at six weeks are parents of more mice. Human beings are helpless at birth and for years after. The horse Is "grown up" at three years, while the elephant re quired seven or eight times that length of time to develop fully. Thus the elephant is Just entering upon life when the horse is ready to die of old age. In a general way, says the Path finder, the length of infancy tends to run parallel with the relative bulk of the animal?the larger animals re quiring more time to grow and devei- i op thpir full vigor. In some oases low- j er animals attain maturity only by a succession of curious stages. The shall of a crab when once hardened cannot grow and the crab is forced to molt or cast off his outgrown shell from time to time and grow a new one a little larger. A crato when growing this new B&ell is known aa Boft shell or "soft" crab, and at such times he is, of course, es pecially subject to attack from hia enemies, as the shell, whioh le the nat ural armor, is wanting, In museums there are exhibits of as many as four teen castoff shells of a single crab, be ginning with a very tiny one and each one just a size larger than the last. Shellfish have their skeletons out side them in the form of their sheila Instead of inside them. Wmt what ik waste Of material la involved in a aye tern which requires them tp manufac ture a new skeleton every new moon or at other short intervals, only to be throwJVaway as soon as it is finished. The state of development o t ani mals whefiT born depends a great deal on the conditions that aire to sarroand them during infancy. Young rabWts. which are born in an underground burrow, are blind, naked and heipieaa at birth ; the young hare, which in own cousin to the rabbit, Is born with tta eyes open and oovered with fUr, and this because it is born above ground, where it is exposed both to tfee la clemency of the weather and predatory foes. Thus in a measure eaeh ta salt ed to its surroundings. Latest About David. A London teacher who 1mm been examining the papers Bent in by boys of ten or eleven for a Scriptuae exam ination sends a few of tbe chotoeet efforts: One day David saw ten leppa*dfl, and they were calling out unclean. One of them turned back and started to come towards him a ad be ww clean. .? 'A Pharisee and a pubnooon wont up into a temple to pray. One liked it, the other did not, so one stored and the other didn't. This teach? ns to be kind and not unkind. A giant named Goliath, tbe man of the Phyistins, was going to fight I Israinel. A youag boy name (ft rid herd him. He s^id to himeetf, "Til have a go at him." He went to the Israelits' camp. He said, 'Til hare a go at him." The Pharisees are frode and donot keep the law. The Publicans are tho tax corlectors. They do aot take what they haft too. They made there selves more money. Tbat learne us not to thief. Expensive Boat Race. A writer in Bailey's Magazine of England has been figuring on the oost of the annual boat race between Ox ford and Cambridge, and say* the ex pensp to each crew may be approxi mately estimated at $3,000 for each. He then says that aft the eont?et rare; ly takes more than twenty minutes, the cost works out at about $300 per minute, or about $8 every time the oars dip into the water. The 4eat of the boats is placed at $3f>0, and the oars at $70, the rest of the money go ing for preparation from October un til the day of the race. The writer seems to think that $3,000 is a good deal of money to spend on a college crew (observes the New York Eve ning Post). It would be interesting to know what he would think of many times that amount spent upon the American college crews for the an nual races. Literary Evening.
