The young aro reaiiy for market in about u year, but reproduction takes threo yearn. Tho average life of a leech is 16 or 30 years. Us-.iully a healthy mau van fish in tho twaiup four or five hours without losing tnotiKh bltKMl to exhaust him. Tho loch bin three jaws und from 30 to 00 teeth. When these get going, in a short time tho leech will swallow five times bis weight in Mixd. All this is moro pleasant than tho practice elsewhere about Now York of fattening leeches for tho market on do crrpit old horses which have been con demned to tho boneyard. Now York iTess.

PUNCH AND JUtiV. OHta af Tkta Rrer royals Kagla BikttaltMii Generations of ohildren bare fanrxl pleasure in witnessing the antioe of Punoh and Judy, and after nearly a century of popularity the mi mid then tor in which their adventures are dis plsyed still gives amusement to both young and old. Tho origin of this al ways attractive entertainment is not English, as tnsny who have enjoyed it may suppose; but, according to an old book, Punch and Judy are of Italian ancestry. In the district of Aceiza, near Naples, the people nro very much ad dicted to tho iaking of wino from grapes, and it is curious tbnt from an tiquity they have beou famous for their love of droll wit and oomio fun. Mirny years ago, in tho season of the vintage, which is a tiruo when every body seems to be full of fun and frolic, some comic players came along through Acezsa. They began to poko fun at the vintagers, and in the war of wit tho players got tho worst of it Now, there was among the vintagers a fellow with an enormous tod nose, long and crooked like a powder horn, and ho was tho very drollest and witti est f tho wholo company. The players were so tickled with his witty sayings, un set our iy ins oiU laco and very queer air and manner, that they almost went into hysterics with laughter. After they went away they began to think thai this droll fellow would be a gnat itceessioii to their company; sc they went bock oml mado offers to hint These ho accept oil, nnd such was tho success of his efforts that tho company acquired gr at fame und a great deal of money, hverybody went to seo this witty buffoon, and all wero delighted. This example led to tho establish ment of a droll or buffoon iu all com pa Lies of coniodious, and ho was always culled after tho original one, whoso name was Puoco d'Aniello. This was in tho course of time softened into Po leeeuello. Tho French mado it I'olicho nel, and tho English Punnhiuello. Aft er a time tho English, for the sako of brevity, left off tho latter purt of tho w rd and called it plain Punch. How Judy originate history docs not record, Imt it is very easy to surruiso her story. Suoh a merry fellow as Punch had as good a right to a wife as anybody, if be could get ono. Why not? One might think that his bootliko noso would have stood in the way of his find ing a woman willing to marry him, but his wit was an offset to this. Womon are fond of wit, and Punch would have played his part ill if he could not have made it cover his none. Now that we havo supposed Punch to havo had a wife, und also supposed her name to have been Judy, what more natural than for this amiablo couplo now and then to huve hod a bit of a breeze? They lived a wundoring lifo, and, liko other pooplo in their station, took a little liquor to raise their spirits. After the effect was over, feeling a lit tle peevish, they fell to calling oaoh other hard names, and hard blows fol lowed ; so this is their whole binrory. Detroit Froo Press. EATEN ALIVE. A l-'UU That Watrhra It Own IVmotltlon la Jniani' lrllra)r. Tho most dainty dish to the Japanese epicuro is none other than a living fish. This horrible delicacy is served as fol lows: Resting on a largo dish is a mat formed of rounds of gluss hold togethor by plaited threads, on which is a living fish with gills und mouth moving regu lurly. At its back rises a bank of white shreds resembling dump isinglass, but in reality a colorless seaweed, whilo tho fish itself rests on damp greeu ulguo. In front is u pile of sinull slices of sawfish garuished w ith a radioing tuft of varie gated bamboo leaves. A portion of tho raw lis.li from tho pilo iu front of tho living victim is now placed on a saucer and passed to one guest, and so on with the rest till tho pilo is consumed. Then tho carver raises thu skiu (which has been ulready loosened) of the living (lch, and proceeds to take slice uf tcr slice from the upiicr part. The cscaturo has been carved while still ulive, tho pilo of flesh llrst st rved consisting of the lower half of the body. This lias been done with such lonsuuimato skill that no vital part bus been touched. Tho heart, tho liver, tlio gills und tho stomach uro left intact, whilo the damp seaweed on which the llesh rests sulllees to keep tho lungs in action. The miserable victim looks on with lustrous eyes while its own body is consumed, probably tho only instance of a living creature assist ing us u spectator at its own entomb ment. Cincinnati Fnquirer.
