The butlKOi is a yreat epicure In jsks, mill much of the hostility of iramokoepcrs to this animal lies un doubtedly in the fait that it will, when It gets tin' flialH*e. devour a whole nest of pat'triUsju or pheasant eggs. Badgers ore said also to lie fond of honey, and. knowing the extraordinary craving of ilieii Smith Afriean cousin, the ratei, for this delicacy. 1 should t>ay it is not improbable that they may occasionally partake <>t it. It is certain that these animals have a particular liking for the nest and larvae of wasps and wild bees, digging down with strong feet and infinite persever ance till they attain their object. These animals are said by keepers to kill and devour freely young rabbits. That they do partake of this fare at bines is, 1 think, certain, but that they destroy any very considerable number is more than doubtful. Still, the badg er is carnivorous in his tastes arid is not. even by his kindliest friends, to be absolved from devouring at times tender rabbits and even the young of game birds when he can get hold of I hem.—Westminster Gazette. Strange Fishing Matches. In the olden time in England lords and ladies sometimes Invented queer amusements. They were always on the lookout for some novelty, and one of the strangest they discovered was fishing by a goose. A line with a bait ed hook attached having been fastened to the goose, tied to its leg. she was flung iuto the water from the boat in which were all the gay lords and la dies. Then, when a pike caught the bait, she was sport indeed, a royal bat tle between bird and fish, and ail the time, between the loud splasblngs, wheelings and flounderings, the on lookers in the boat giving vent to their feelings in cheers, handclappings and handkerchief waving. But the goose was usually the victor and ended the struggle by landing its prisoner on the shore, where its quack-quack as it cleared itself from the line and wad dled away ended the scene. The lake ot Montelth. in the southwest of Perth shire, was often the scene of such un gllug matches The Soldier Ant. The lion is the king of beasts, but all of his magnificent strength and ferocity would avail him nothing when he faced a mere ant. But this ant is not the usual kind which peacefully goes about its domestic duties day by day It is the terrible driver or soldier ant. said to be the most invincible creature in the world. Against these tiny enemies no man or baud of men, no lion or tiger, not even a herd of elephants, can do anything but hur riedly get out of the way. Among the ISarotse natives a favorite form of cap ital punishment is to coat the victim with grease and throw him before the advancing army ot soldier ants. The quickness with which the poor wretch is dispatched is marvelous when it Is consider»*d that each ant can do noth ing more than merely tear out a small particle of and carry It o(T. Vet in a surprisingly short time the writh ing victim will have lieeu changed iuto a skeleton. Old Saws and Sayings. A few old sayings uu the subject of food come to us rather as a surprise in our age of daintiness aud refine mcnt, yet they have their raison d'etre notwithstanding "Meat is much, man ni rs are m re;" "(?euse your chatter and mind jour platter;" "The ass that brays most eats hast;" "The wing with the liver to hiui who's the giver;" "lie can give little to ids servant who licks his own trencher." Apropos of this remark. It is amus ing to note that "manners" was the name fciven to the remnants of a meal. These came to the servants as otticia! perquisites; hence our well woru ex pression before emptying a dish, "Leave the last slice (or whatever it may be) for manners," though If votes were collected on this point It Is hardly likely that any of us would have taken It as it stands In the original.

His Game Won. 11l a campaign in Kansas some years tpo, when the tariil was initdt a domi liaiit issue, an old (Jeriuan was mu lling for a county office in central Kan I was lie didn't know enough about the i tariff to talk about it two minutes. More than that, he didn't care much, for it had nothing whatever to do with | the oifice he wanted anyway. Hut. the j voters were much excited over the ! question and seemed to think that I every candidate should be able to dis cuss the problem from A to Izzard So this German and his campaign ; manager invented a successful subter j fuge When the German got up at the meetings to talk he would say: "Now. shentlemen, I vlll talk niit you about der tariff. It is like"— Just then his campaign manager interrupt: "Why, John, you have only five minutes to talk. You cannot do yourself justice in that length of time on the tariff." "Then I won't talk about dot tariff would be 'ohn's inevitable reply, and he would goon to tell that he wanted a certain county office, and so on. His game won. and he was elected.—Kan sas City Journal. Wheat Does Not Grow Wild. The existence of names for wheat In the most ancient languages confirms the evidence of its great antiquity and of its cultivation in the more temper ate parts of Kurope, Asia and Africa From the evidence adduced by bota nists of high standing it seems highly improbable that wheat has ever been found growing persistently in a Wild state, although it has often been as serted by poets, travelers and histo rians. In the "Odyssey." for example, we are told that wheat formerly grew in Sicily without the aid of man. Dio dorus repeats the tradition that Osiris found wheat and barley growing pro miscuously in Palestine, but neither this nor other reputed discoveries of wheat growing wild seem at all cred ible. seeing that it does not appear to be endowed with the power of per sisteucy except under continued cul ture. The Mind During Sleep. "During sleep." says an authority on mental subjects, "the workings of the mind are under uo control, and yet it seems to have a wonderful faculty of building up and arranging scenes and incidents. I remember once having a vivid dream of going into a bouse the furniture and inmates of which be longed to the middle ages. So clear was the dream that 1 had no diffi culty in recalling it, and then as 1 went over each detail of dress, armor, jewelry, ornaments and other objects seen iu my vision 1 realized that every thing 1 had beheld was historically accurate—that is to say. that probably in a fraction of a second aiy mind bad conjured up a scene to construct which, with the same faithfulness to detail, while awake would have taken tne several hours." The Use of Condiments. In an article on the use of condi ments the London Lancet, the fore most British medical publication, says: "The classic experiments of Pawlow have shown how important is the role of the condiments In diet, how it is they Improve appetite and Increase ill j gestive power. Mustard, pepper and salt, uaed. of course, in sensible amounts, assist the appetite, give a zest to food and partly by rellcx action as well as local action stimulate the flow of digestive juices and insure healthy assimilation. Even vinegar Is known to have a softening effect on tough fillers, and hence Its use Is Justi tied in so many Instances." The English Pheasant. It is claimed that the pheasant of the Eugllsh preserves can trace Its ped lgree directly to the brilliant bird ot the same species iu Japan About the middle of the nineteenth century u few live pheasants were brought from Japan aud crossed with the common siHJcles. The result of this was, It Is said, that u new race of birds was iu truduced. and the beautiful pheasant, ; with its iridescent plumage, was pro duced and naturalized as an Kugllsh DM Coala of Firs. I"I thought," said tie, "that those peo I pie treated you so badly, aud uow see! I They Invite you to Ihelr reception 1 Khali you go?" "Why, certainly," said she.

A visitor to an insane asylum waa milking in tlic grounds vvlicn a man ?ante up lo him and entered into con versation After walking about for some time, discussiu;; topics suggested b.v the place, the (wo set out on a lour I of inspection, the man. apparently ail I ollicial, inviting tin* visitor to no over 1 the asylum. At lei;■:!:> they reached I the foot of'a flljlht of steps, up which j the guide led the way. and at the top | the visitor found himself out upon the j roof, a height of more liian a hundred i feel from the ground. As they gazed below his coiii|i:ii]ion startled him xud deniy by proposing to see who could jump farthest toward the grounds: Not until then had it dawned upon I he visitor that his guide was mad. Mer cifully he was a man of ready wit. and Ais wit saved the madman's life. "Oh. :uiybody can jump down." said tb< vis itor "Let us go down and see who can jump to the top" The madman thought it good idea, and. retracing their steps, the two began their jump from the earth instead of from the roof. The Mammoth Cave Rat. The cavern rat found in the Mam moth cave is of a soft bluish color, with white neck and feet. It has enormous eyes, black as night, but quilt- unprovided with an iris. These eyes are perfectly insensible to light, and when the experiment has been made of catching a cavern rat and turning it loose in bright sunlight it I blunders about, striking itself against everything, is unable to provide itself with food and finally falls down and dies. In its native depths, however. It is able to lead a comfortable enough existence,as its enormously long whisk ers are so extremely sensitive that they enable it to find Its way rapidly through the darkness. The principal food of the cavern rat consists of a kind of large cricket of a pale yellow I color and, like most other cave dwell ers, itself perfectly blind. The Lilies. Two thousand years ago if was sup- ' posed that A-iiter lilies closed their ! flowers at night and retreated far un der water, to emerge again at sunrise, j This was Pliny's view, and it was not. j impeached until the English botanist ; .lobn Hay in IGBB first doubted its i veracity. The great lily of Zanzibar, . one of the grandest of the lily family, ! opens its flowers, ten inches wide, be- ! tween 11 in the morning and 5 in the j afternoon. They are of the richest i royal blue, with from 150 to 200 golden j stamens in the center, and they remain open four or five days, it is not gen j erally known that there are lilies that I have nocturnal habits—night bloomers i as well as day bloomers. They are ; very punctual timekeepers, too, open- | in"and closing with commendable reg- , ularity. Bunyan's Wicket Gate. In the village of lilstow there Is abundant material that is visibly asso ciated with John Hunyan. The isolat ed church tower coutains the very j bells hi the ringing of which Bunyan [ rejoiced and afterward trembled, j Above all there uuist be mentioned the j wicket gate which figures early in the | story of "Pilgrim's Progress." The i wicket gate of "Pilgrim's Progress" is j commonly represented as a garden l gate or a turnpike gate, but really the j term denotes a small doorway cut out of a large door. Concealed behind a ! tree at the west end of Llstow church i is just such a small doorway in the ; broad wooden surface ot the great j door. Through this lowly opening ; Bunyan must often have passed when a boy.—Harper's Weekly. The Major'* Value. "Major Hunks." said a veteran, "was a pompous chap. The boys had a good deal of fun once over his exchange. "It seems that on a very dark night I a stalwart Confederate took the major I prisoner. This fact, together with the j narrative of the prisoner's return to camp, was signaled to headquarters tersely: "'Major Hunks, captured during night march, exchanged later for two | plugs tobacco.'
