ceptible to mesmerism. A Chinese servant at Foochow, says

crawling up the wall, imitated the cackling of a fowl. The
reptile moved slower and slower, and at length fell to the
ground, where it was speedily despatched. The experiment
met with similar success on repetition, and the Celestial
declares that fowls are very partial to centipedes, which they
kill by one peck on a particular part of the head, and devour
with great gusto.

The general feeling is to allow the ladies to do as they like,
bearing in mind that gentlemen prefer to smoke by them-
selves after dinner.—Court Journal.

possible for them to feed in the fields as in England. All this
