ArcliibiiM rrico, mo of tlio jilonoor

wlien lie fiinijlit si(;lit of tlirpo Iiiiliims
pkulkin in the vicinity. "The Varmints!-'
ho miiil to liiniself. "So thry
niPiiti to iioiim'p im me wbou I'vo two

Ho was just stnrtinu; fur mnne of tlio

himself about the boiling lnce. whistling

If he net olt across the river in bis
canoe, tlio Indians would pursue and
pboot lilm. He hail a brother who was
a nea diver. From him ho had learned
soiiietb'tiu; fibont diving bells, nml ho
now took n midden resolve to make his
kettlo ierro him in that capacity. He
emptied It. btit in mtch it way that nn
observer at a little distance would have
supposed ho was filling it from a tub
standing near.
As soon ns it was emptied he liftod it
quickly, and hurried down the river
bank, whore ho raised it, in an inverted
position, over his head, the rim resting
on Ids shoulders, and walked into the
water. Tho bank was steep, and the
water was soon np to his shoulders.
Keeping a firm hold of the kettle, he
proceeded. The water got deejier and
deeper until it was several feet over tho
top of tho kettle,
The improvised diving bell answered
its purposo excellently, supplying nir for
him to breathe until he emerged on tho
home side of tho river.
So Mr. l'rico saved himself and his
iron kettlo from falling into tho hands
of the savages. Youth's Companion.

Now a part of the foolish ancestorship
of the past resulted in tho rreation of
aristocracies built on tho foundation
of on illustrious ancestor. Wo are got
ting wiHor nnd better. Wo oro putting
our aristocracies closer to the primal
source. Wo aro learning no longer to
respect n man becanse his ancestor was
better than himself, but because ho him
self is nn ancestor. The farce of royalty
is played out; the farce of rank nnd
casto is in a moribund condition. All
men will soon learn to laugh at tho
claims of long descent. Many men
laugh nt them now. And this in itself
is an immense step in advance.
Snobbery, vulgarity, pretension these
hideous traits will soou be of tho pant.
Our grandchildren, freed from tho ab
surd ideas, the absurd restrictions of
semisavago inception, will bo larger,
ntoro generous, more tolerant better, in
short, than ourselves. Fresh and vigor
ous blood will intermix with tho worn
out descendants of great men, nnd iu
due time greater men from tho stock
will bo born to tho future. Every suc
ceeding ago sees tho abandonment of
somo superstition which has checked tho
progress and development of the race in
the past. William S. Walsh in New

Xiiwi About London Duila.
I wish to announce for the benefit sole
ly of the youth who desires to be English,
that the turning up of the trousers at the
feet is quite the thing and indicative of
"squally" weather in London; that it is
also quite the thing to be very slow,
painfully slow, in speech, and that to be
tray interest in anything or anybody is a
Bcrions fault in the makeup. The advice
to preserve on all occasions a fixed and
tony gaze is trite and altogether un
necessary. I am quite well assured that
the man who writes a book on how to
be English, if he goes to his grave un
wept, unhonored and unsung, will at
least have made enough out of the work
to defray the expenses of his burial. But
I want to siy that the thing above all
others is to have a small appetite, par
ticularly at luncheon.
In the near neighborhood of the city
hall is a "holo in the wall," where many
of our most successful lawyers take their
midday bite in some cases a most sub
stantial bite. There was quite a gather
ing in this resort the other day at noon,
whon the very latest in London makeup
arrived. Leisurely walking to the bar
the "Londoner" drawled, "Waiter, give
me a bit, just a bit, of toast and a glass
of milk." In the silence that ensued up
on this light demand, it is relutod that
the waiter, in tho excitement of the mo
ment, buttered the toast and neglected
to put waiter in the milk. Washington

THE FLV EATING PLANT.
A I'tirluun Operation of a YrR-rtittitii l!
votirtiiif Anliunl I. He.
Ono species of tlio droncahas its leaves
rounded, while tlio other has them elon
gated, but both alike have them reddish
in color and covered with short hairs or
filaments. At tho end of each of these
hairs there is an enlarged gland which
secretes a tiny drop of what npH?ars to
be harmless dew. Harmless, however, tho
liquid is not. for to most insis-ts, espe
cially small flies, tho tl rosea is n most
insidiously baited trap. Tho liquid is in
reality a sweet, sticky substance, and if
the very smallest fly docs but touch it
ever so lightly it sticks there and dies.
The manner in which the plant after
ward actually digests tlio bodies of the
flies it entraps is interesting in tho ex
treme. Within a short time of tho capture of
a fly so excessively sensitive are the
glands all the filaments growing around
the one which has made the capture com
mence to bend inward, covering the
luckless insu't until it is securely within
the grasp of the relentless plant. Each
gland then pours out upon the body a
digestive liquid, not altogether unlike
the gastric jnico of nnimnls, and In the
course of a day or two tho fly is com
pletely digested, do tmtritivo purls have
been wholly absorbed by the plant and
tho filaments have bent back to their
original position, ready to make another
capture upon tho ilrst opportunity.
If, however, tlio substance caught by
the leaf is of an indigestible nature,
such ns a grain of sand or a piece of
stick blown by the winds on to the
glands, the leaf docs not remain closed
moro than n few hours. Tho numlier of
insects thus caught must be very great.
The plants themselves nre very abun
dant in most upland bogs. Each plant
has five or six leaves, nnd ns many as
thirteen dead flies have been found on a
single leaf.
Curiously enough, Darwin, whoso re
searches into tho subject wero of a most
exhaustivoand interesting nature, found
that tho leaves on his plants wero killed
when ho gave them n surfeit of cheese
nnd raw meat. The excessively sensi
tive uaturo of tho glands almost sur
passes conception. Darwin found tint
the absorption of only the l-20,000,0(Hith
part of a grain of phosphate of ammo
nia or thereabout was tmflicicnt to cause
tho filament bearing tho gland to bend
toward the center of tho leaf. Good

Somo one Iris said that not ono man in
a dozen knows how to wenrn tires i coat,
and it is quite ns truo that n largo num
ber of individuals do not linvo any idea
how to wetir n hat. Ono man can wear
his hat at tho buck of his head and look
well dressed, whilo another hnving his
lint in that position would look as though
he wero recovering from a protracted
round of dissipation. It is just tho same
with tho other positions, on tho top of
tho head, on cither sido or druwn over
tho forehead. It is knowing how to wear
a hat which makes it look well, und the
knowlodgo often enables tho poor man
to look moro dressy in n cheap hat than
his richer neighbor in n much more cost
ly one.
Tho time tho knowlodgo is a saving
ono is when buying n hat. A good sales
man will take euro tlmt a customer gets
a hat that will fit him when worn in te
position which is most becoming to that
individual, but unless this is taken care
of by either purchaser or dalesman there
will be littlo satisfaction from tho pur
chase and tho hat will probably blc ,v off
at tho smallest provocation. A I' .t that
fits and is worn right seldom blows off,
no matter how high tho wind may bo.

Living In Cliauilivra.
Within Into years n new stylo of house
keeping has como in. It is a step fur
ther than tho "flat." Besides it is much
more swell to livo in "chambers" than
to livo in a flat. It is just the thing for
young married people. They take a
suite of two or three rooms and bath.
There is no kitchen. They furnish the
rooms to please themselves, and have of
course their own latchkey, just as if it
were a flat. The house bos an office
down stairs a good deal like a hotel.
Here mail, etc., is received. A reception
room is provided down stairs, where
guests wait while their cards are brought
to you.
The Buites are all supplied with bells.
A ring brings a boy, as at a hotel. Yon
can get ice water or stationery as at a
hotel. Yon can have them "ring a mes
senger" or send a telegram. A cafe down
stairs supplies meals as you want them.
The house supplies chambermaid service
if yon want it. A more complote way
of living who could conceive? Wash

A Christmas Killing-.
A young mnrried iiiiin living on n
fashionable street who wanted to ttir.ko
himself of somo use in domestic affairs
bought a live turkey for the family
Christmas dinner nnd undertook to chop
off its head. As tho weather was cold,
instead of killing tho turkey out of door
he took it into the kitchen and with
block nnd hatchet heroically decapitated
It. The whole household had lieen sum
moned to witness his skill ns nn execu
tioner. No sooner was its head off than
the decapitated turkey gave chase to
members of the family.
Out of the kitchen into the dining
room, and up on the table, nnd Into tho
sitting room, nnd into the parlor, and
onto the furniture and against the cur
tains, nnd out into tho hall, where, in nn
exhausting effort to climb the front
stnirs, it yielded to the inevitable, turned
over on its back, gave a few last protest
ing kicks, and died. But there wasn't a.
drop of blood left In thnt bird's tiody.
It had bled copiously, nnd had literally
pninted the lower part of tho house and
a good portion of the furniture and the
carpets and the curtains and the wall
paiier a genuine turkey red. That young
married man has a long life before him
nnd a lovnblo wife to share it with him
but she has now this terror hanging over
him:
"Jolin," sho said, "if ever you again
do such n thing ns to cut off the head of
a live turkey in the house I'll I'll look
for a moro sensible man when I marry

A Kin Collection of Itntlernies.
The California Academy of Sciences
contains ono of the finest collections of
butterflies and moths in the world cer
tninly the finest on the Pacific coast
This collection was made by Dr. II. 11.
Behr, who began the work in 1814 and
who has lieen steadily adding to It ever
since, yuite recently Dr. Hehr presented
to the academy, which means the people
of California, the accumulated riches re
sulting from his labors of nearly half a
century.
Previous to 1844, Dr. Behr made an
other collection which be presented to
the Duke of baxony-Anhult. It is now
in the museum at Kothen, Saxony. The
oldest butterfly in Dr. Behr's later col
lection was caught in Bntavia in 1844.
Since this date the enthusiastic scientist
has pursued his researches in Euro(.
the East Indian Hrchielago. Manila,
the Stinila islands, the Caie of Good
Hope, the Isthmus of Panama, Brazil
Mexico, Australia and tho United States.
By exchanging with other collectors he
lias obtained specimens from all parts of
tho known world. Some of the finest
and rarest are from the Amoor river.
The collection includes nearly 20.0UU
specimens, of which ubout tt.000 aro still
unclassified. The number of determined
species is 4.001. Of theso 1.200 aro Cali

A Mew t'ostofllre KiirlmenL
Lot no man say that St. Martin's le
Grand has not taken enterprise to its
bosom. Thnt much criticised depart
ment has just begun to experiment with
a sort of automatic postofiiue, und tho
front of tho Royal exchango has been se
lected as a likely place for it. It is a
further extension of the great principle
of the penny in the slot. You drop in
your penny, and in return you got an en
velope and a correspondence card. At
the game time a bell is automatically
rung in the nearest postofllce.
You write your urgent message on the
card, put it into tho envelope with tho
fee, at tho rate of threepence a milo, and
drop the communication into the letter
box. A messenger arrives in a few min
utes and takes tho letter to its destina
tion by omnibus, railway or cab. This
is a capitul idea, likely to be especially
useful in so busy u locality as the Royal
exchungo. But if it succeeds there, it

The World's Fair In Kiujlaud.
A foretaste of the Chicago exhibition
was given this week by Mr. Dredge, at
the Society of Arts, when thisgontloman
gave a lecture, to the accompaniment of
tho magio lantern, on the exhibition as it
is and will be. So many romancing talcs
of tho greatness of tho show have been
exported from America that a feeling of
doubt as to whore fact left off and fancy
began has been in many minds. Mr
Dredge's lecture and Mr. Dredge's magio
lantern slides, however, put it beyond a
doubt that tho show will be almost as
big as it is painted. The buildings them
selves appear to be even more substan
tial than all accounts have made them,
and there is no doubt that the exhibi
tion will really be "the greatest show on
earth." London Court Journal.
Sunday Opening of the Fair.
"How do you stand on the question of
opening the World's fair on Sunday?"
said Representative Bntler, of Iowa, to
Representative Crain, of Texas, on the
floor of the house yesterday.
"I am in favor of it, so as to allow the
workingmen an opportunity to see the
exposition," was Mr. Cruiu's reply.
"Well," said Mr. Butler, "I have been
making a canvass of the house on the
subject and you are the S?0tb man 1
have asked. So far the vote stands 8
majority for Sunday opening." Wash

Forrtit t'lnntlno;.
In the coal regions of Pennsylvania
hearty every piece of available timlier
has been cnt away to form props for tho
archways and fur various other uses in
connection with coal mining. Nearly
every stick nnd every piece of plank
ttsed in these regions now nil have to lie
brought from a distance. Tho Girard
estate has endeavored to solvo the pro
blem by making some small plantations
lis a test. Eight years ngo a large num
ber of larches nnd Scotch pines were
(limited; plow furrows wero simply
driven through tho underbrush growing
np where tho old forests had lieen cut
away, and one-year-old seedling larches
nnd pines planted. Tho larches now
average somo seventeen or eighteen feet
high, and aro particularly healthy and
thrifty. There can Im no donht, from
theso experiments, that forest planting
in these regions would be an nndoubted
success.
It may lie noted that the larch was
the most popular of forest trees in the
early planting on the western prairie,
but the leaves were attacked by a fun
gus; the timber therefore did not prop
erly mature. It finally fell into dis
favor for forest planting. On these early
exiwriments the larch has suffered much
iu reputation, but it must be remem
bered that tho western prairies furnish
Unfavorable conditions for the larch.
It is a mountain tree, ono thriving in
comparatively poor Koils, and tho low
altitude and rich earth of western prai
ries wero entirely foreign to its nature.
Tho (iirard plantings are some 1,4011
or 1,300 feet nbove the level of the sea;
these are the conditions of itsown home,
and tho remarkable healthiness of these
trees shows that they appreciate the po
sition iu which they find themselves.

Swearing, it is presumed, came in

an agriculturist it is not presumed that
ho was free from the trials and troubles,
vexations and weaknessesof other farm

most proficient nnd picturesque swear
ers, and wero accustomed to rattlo up
their gods in the most finished style
when things weren't coining their wny.
To speak colloquially, it was a cold day
when tlio Olympian deities did not hear
their names taken iu vain by the impa

Looked Too Worldly.
An Auburn man was rebuked for in
dulging in a pleasantry in a prayer meet
ing not long ago, but still daring spirits
occasionally transgress in that way with
out being gridirsned. It is related at a re
cent parish meeting in Richmond, Me.,
to see about calling a pastor, a well
known citizen prominent in church af
fairs took occasion to remark on the ap
parent indifference of church members
to the object for which the meeting had
been called.
Ho had hoped, he said, to see the church
membership fully represented, but it was
with much regret that he noted their ab
sence. At the conclusion of the gentle
man's remarks a woman in the congrega
tion who had grown uneasy under his
criticism ventured to suggest that there
was a fair representation of the ecclesi
astical body present, indicating by a wave
of her hand several church members
occupying seats in different parts of the
bouse.
For a moment it looked like a knock
out in favor of the woman, but tho gen
tleman was equal to the occasion, and
straightening np he romarked with his
usual gravity, "It may bo that our
members look and appear so much like
the world's people that I did not recog

the New York people as exjiect to visit
the fair have availed themselves of tho
chance of escaping the crowds at the ho

Pronunciation of Two Names.
It may seem like trying to gild refined
gold or paint the lily to suggest tho pos
sibility of an improvement in tho pro
nnnciation of proper names adopted by
Mr. Daly's company of players, but I
have always imagined that the heroine
in "As You Like It" was Ros-alind. with
the accent on the first syllable, and that
Shakespeare made a humorous point in
the stretching of the pronunciation in
Orlando's love verses. This point is en
tirely lost by pronouncing the name Ro
salind, with long"i," and equal stress on
first and last syllables, all through the
play. The first intimation that tho mel
ancholy Jocqne was a ruralized proto
type of the Chatham street churictor
also comes from Mr. Daly. George
Clark is addressed in his "As You Like
It" rolo as Jnkies. Is there uny author
ity for either of these novelties? Cor.

A Great llalil Eagle Killed.
The largest bald eagle ever killed iu
this vicinity was shot in the town of
Concord, a few miles west of Oconomo
woc. Wis., recently by Richard Yates.
It measured 7 feet 3 inches from tip to
tip. and weighed eleven pounds. The
talons, measured along the convex sur
faces, are nearly two inches in length
and very strong. It was perched upon
a lofty elm, when Mr. Yates discharged
both barrels of his shotguu at it simul
taneously, after which the bird flew a
few hundred feet and suddenly fell to
the ground dead.
A golden eagle, measuring nine foot
from tip to tip, was captured by Johnnie

few miles south of West Bond, Wis., on
the same day. Milwaukee Sentinel.
