Afraid or Animals Ghosts.

Among tho many strange customs Of saw
age nations, not the least curious arc the
cercmonious obscrvances offered by them to
the wild beasts which they hunt and kill.
The boldest native hunters of British India
would shuddcr at the thought Of leaving tho
corpse of slain tiger till they have singcd
off its whiskers to the very root, without
which prccaution they firmly believe that
the ghost Of the dead monster will haunt
them into their graves. In many parts Of
Russia the killing of wolf Is not thought
complete without cutting of the head and
right forc-paw. The Lapps and Firms,
whenever they kill bear surround the body
with loud lamentations. One hunter then
asks the dead beast, "Who killed thee 2"
and another answers, "a Russian" when
all tho rest exclaim in chorus, "a cruel
deed, bloody deed hoping by this means
to divert the bears resentment from them
selves to the imaginary Russian. Skulls Of
brown bears, nailed to tho trees by, the
Indians, In compliance with some native
superstition, arc often found by Canadian
camping parties in the woods around Lake
Sincoe and the tribes OF Northern Siberia
never kill q polar bear without extracting
its two largest teeth, which in their belief
is one only safeguard against its coming to
z life again. 4 5.l

An Odd Character OF Paris,

Baron Taylor died not along ago in Paris.
lie was ninety years old and still sprghtly.
Only ten years ago he was in active life, and
his name was in the newspapers daily. AS
long ago rs 1924, he was the "royal COM
missioner" charged with the direction of
the Comcdic Franchise, and he wcathcrcd
the various storms which were provoked
during the warfare Of the classicists and
romanticists. Had it not been for Baron
Taylors efforts it is doubtful if Victor
Hugo's Hermann " would have ever been
produced in the first theatre of France. The
Baron managed, however, to remain reason
ably impartial until the struggle was over.
He was of English Flemish parcntagc, but
his father was naturaliZed in France. When
a youth he devoted himself for a time to
literature, but finally studied art and became
a most accomplished critic and connoisscur.
His many missions to Spain, to Egypt, to
buy the obclisks, to other countries to hunt
up paintings which the allied armies had
carried away at the time of the invasion,
are historical. Louis Philippe once gave
him ZOO, 600 francs, and sent him to Spain
to buy whatever he chose for the French
museum. He returned 10000 francs out
Of this million, and on the day of his return
had not money enough to buy his dinner
with, 80 that he went to the house of n
friend to dine. It never occurred to him
that Louis Philippe had intended to allow
him to enrich himself. The galleries of
Versailles are filled with treasures from
Italy, Greece, Turkey and Asia Minor,
gathered together by the care of Baron
Taylor. He wrote well, and his memoirs
ought to be interesting. He knew every
body Of any consequence in Europe. In
1857, Bismarck went personally to thank
him for tic services which he had rendered
to.indigcnt German artists. He had been a
member of the Academy of Fine Arts since
l847. He was the founder of a great num-
Der Of charitable societies. When he was
made Senator, in 1889, under the empire,
hc gave away the larger part of his salary
of 30, 600 francs for bcncfccnt purposes.
He was devoted to his library, which con-
tanned the finest theatrical collection in
Europe. The old gentleman was compelled
to part with some of his literary treasures
after tho war, being in temporary financial
distress, and 1t nearly broke his heart.

Fall Leaves.

1t seems almost sacrilcgc to mar the SYM
mctry of wcll-grown tree by cutting or
breaking its branches. A few may some
times be removed without dctmcting from
its beauty; but when the, ground is strcwn
with leaves, ii is needless to do this From
such prOfusion rare selections of cOloring-
mottlcd, marblcd, striped, blotchcd or
shadcd-can be made that arc unattainablc
in single branches; and these may be so ar
tistically combined and mounted on wires as
to serve the purpose of natural branches. A
few green leaves greatly enhance tho bril-
lance of the more highly colorcd. Both
reds and ycllows become more vivid in con-
trast with grccn--a fact too often ignored
Rather stout wire is needed for the main
stem of n garland or branch; more slcn-
der to strengthen and render plant the leaf
stems. Common worstcd, Berlin or Ger
mantown, in rcd, maroon or brown; is cy-
ccllent for winding the stems to wires after
the manner of artificial flower sprays. Care
in arranging the leaves, according both to
color and size, is necessary to give satisfac-
tory results. bough or branch should
begin at the apex with very small leaf,
and the leaves gradually increase in size
toward the basc. This being affixed to the
main stem by winding the worstcd, other
twigs, similarly made, can be added as the
work proceeds
The best way TO prepare the leaves for
monnting-thcy having been washed from
all impurictics--is TO press them between
clean white papers under weight. Where
one has not pressing boards designed cs-
pccially for this purpose, the papers con-
tanning the leaves can be laid under heavy
box or pile of books. After two or three
days they should be fully dried and slMoOthcd
with warm CaOt h0O iron. If a bit of
wax or of parafinc be rubbed Oh the face of
the iron just as each leaf is ironcd, q gloss
and elasticity will be impaired and at the
same time tho colors heightened and fixed
Leafy branches are most easily dried in this
way, without previous pressing
BY means Of warm sand small bouphs of
leaves can be dried with their twigs and
leaves in natural position. Seeding NAPLES
only three or four inches high, that arc 80
abundant around full-grown maple trees,
are very lovely dried in this manner. A
common wire sieve, a quantity Of clean
sand and a box, the bottom of which can
bc easily removed, arc tho materials needed.
Set the sieve within the box, and in tho in
tcrsticcs Of the wirc-worlx place the stems
OF the naples or the base of the branch,
with every leaf posed as usual. Pour the
sand, heated to blood warmth, through a
paper cone or tunnel around and upon the
branches and leaves till all arc covered.
Set the box in tho sun or on the back of
stove or range. If in the sun, two or three
days will be required to dry tllem on
stove or range. with constant, steady
warmth, twcnty-four hours will probably
suffice. At the end Of that time romove the
bottom Of the box and let the sand pass out.
The little tree and branches will remain in
the sieve, every leaf and twig gracefully
balanced, their colors clear and fresh,
though in texture 70 firm as never to wilt,

Of1cial Salaries in Europe.

Official salaries are very low in Germany
compared with those in England. Tho en-
tire salnry of the Imperial Chancellor,
Prince Bismarck, from all sources, both as
Prussan Minister and Chancellor of che
Empire, is only $4,000 ($13, ,6OO). Tho
highest salary Of Prussian Cabinet Minis.,
ter is 36, 900 marks. Pensions are on the !
same moderate scale. They are settled on
analogous principles to those which govern
the English civil-scrvice pension system.
tho pension amounting to as Imany eigh-
ticths of tho salary which was being receiv-
cd at the time Of retirement as there have
been years spent in the service Of the State.
Ten years are added to the record of service
in all cases where misconduct has not called
for censuro. But where tho salary exceeds4
$4,000 marks ($3, ,000) only the half of such
excess is taken into account. DR.. Falk, the
retiring Minister of Public Works and
ucation, entered the service Of the State SSSsf
1847. He has consequently 88 yeors
public service plus ten. His salary as Mim4i
lister was 81, 900 marks. which becomes re-,
duccd to $4,000 for the purpose Of estimat-s
ing his pension, which will be 1880 Of tbis

Lilies

Many cutivators OF this beautiful tribe of
plants arc much annoyed at finding them die
OF just previous to their Towering, the low
or leaves turning yellow, and the stem event.
ually dccaying. Upon taking up the bulb
the ensuing autumn it will be found to be
more or less dccaycd or rotten; this is cspeci-
ally the case with L a,r0tuna, the golden
banded lily of Japan, some of the new CALI
fornian and Oregon species, and our native
species, some Of which like H. 8uper6un,.
seem to defy cultivation; even tho strong
growing l.. lancJoli,tne and its varieties,
now common in our gardens. Our own OBJ
scrvation and experience, as well rs those of
a friend who Is an enthusiastic cultivator Of
this tribe of plants, lead us to the conclusion.
that 1t is owing to the excessive heat Of the
surface of the soil, which destroys the fibrous
roots formed at the foot of the stem, Just
above the bulb; for many lilies have two sets
OF roots, one set stout and comparatively
flcshy, issuing from the base of tho bulb, and
the other set muchmorc delicate and fibrous.
Acting on this conclusion, we have planted
bulbs of some of the species that annoyed us
most by their dying off, among groups or
clumps of dwarf-growing shrubs, and have
found that in such situations they thrive
finely; throwing up their flowcr-stcms above
the Shrubs, and blooming freely and bcauti-
fully. Thus planted, their roots arc deep
shaded, and therefore more moist and cooi
than when exposed to the full blaze Of the
sun, with it's attendant drying and intense
heating of tho surface soil. 1t also agreea
better with their natural situation, as many
Of thcm like l.. suocr6,tn,, rs most Of onr
rcadcrsmust have observed, grow in thickets
throwing up tall stems above the shrubs
loaded with blooms. Some, like Il. au,a-
tu'', and our native Il. oas,aclense, grow in
open grass fields, but in such situations tho
grass always keeps the soil moist and cool.
