Consistency is a jewel that shines equally in tlie life
of a priiiGe and in the conduct of a peasant. All nature
loves and exemplifies uniformity. Why is it that the snow

see with two eyes, hear with two ears, walk with two legs
and work with two hands'? Why is it that when there is an

as a deformity or monstrosity?
