RObbie,s Verse.

A young lady who resides in that part
of Pennsylvania which is called the
Switzerland of America has a Sun
day-school class of rather bright boys,
averaging between 7 and 9 years. Re-
Gently she requested eachpupil to come
on the following Sunday with some pas
sage Of scripture bearing upon love.
The lads needed the request, and in
turn recited their verses bearing upon
that popular topic, such as, J" Love your
enemies, " Little children, love one an
other, etc. The teacher said to the
boy whose turn came last:
"Well, Robbie, what il your verse?
Raising himself up, heresponded
"Song Of Solomon, second chapter,
fifth verse Stay me with fagons,
comfort me with apples Tor I am sick
of love.
Now what could be done with that
style of boy?

Strange Food.

Some score or so Of contributors TO a
French sporting journal dined one day
upon the ham and heart of lion, killed
by Constant Cheret in Algeria. The
flesh of the lion was found to be par
ticularly firm and close grained, like
that of horse, but. although pronounced
palatable, it only achieved what is
termed a success d'estin1e, while the
heart, skillfully prepared with trufles,
was unanimously voted tough and indi-
gestible. In fact, the French journalists
were not much better pleased with their
fare than was Bruce, the traveller, when
the guest of the Arab tribe of Yelled
Sid Booianim, "the sons Of the fathers
of the focks," bound by vow to eat
lions flesh once every day ; for the trav-
eler found male lion meat lean, tough
and musky in flavor, honess meat trife
fatter and more palatable, and whelp
flesh the nastiest Of the three.
Mindful that an unlooked-for pleasure
is thrice welcome, Frank auckland did
not advise his guests on certain occa-
sion that they we're about to enlarge
their gastronomic experiences, but, when
the soup had been disposed of, asked a
famous gourmand sitting near him how
he liked it.
every we'll, indeed" was the answer.
Turtle, is it not ? I only ask because
I did not find any green fat"
auckland shook his head.
''I fancied it had somewhat musky
taste peculiar, but not at all unpleas-
ant, " remarked his neighbor.
"All alligators have" replied the
host :" the cayman, especially-the fell
low I dissected this morning, and which
you have just been discussing"
Half dozen of the suddenly -enlight-
ened diners suddenly started to their
feet, two or three skunk from the room,
and the rest of the meal was enjoyed by
only a portion Of the original company.
See what imagination is, said Buck
land. ssHad I told them it was turtle,
or terrapin, or birds NEST soup, or the
gluten of a fish from the NAV of sea-
bird, they would have pronounced it ex-
cellent, and their digestion would have
been none the worse. / tell them that
it is alligator soup, and their gorges rise
at as good dish as ever a man need
have {"
F'orewarned, and, therefore, fore
armed, were the gentlemen who lunched
on octopus at the Brighton Aquarium,
trying it in turn boiled, broiled and
cold. They found it excellent eating,
resembling skate, but not SO tender as
might be. The verdict would probably
have been still more favorable had the
octopus been boiled first and then roast
ed, as is the way in Corsica, where the
monster is esteemed great delicacy.

Pioneer Incidents.

A gentleman whose parents were
among the early settlers of Clay county,
Missouri, says that in 1924 there were
only three men in the whole county who
owned a suit Of broadcloth. The usual
dress was made from jeans and linsey,
dyed with hickory bark An incident
occurred about that time which illus
trates the simple habits Of the people:
A young man, by serving in the United
States army, had laid up some money.
He came to a town In the county dressed
In u suit Of blue broadcloth. On his
head he wore fur cap made by himself.
For days he was the most noticed man
in the town-because he wore store
clothes. =
In summer, it was usual for women,
as well as for boys and girls, to go bare
foot. Even those young ladies who
would wear shoes were in the habit Of
wearing, when going out, !" a pair Of
coarse shoes, and carrying their Sun
day shoes" in the pocket just before
arriving at the place they started for,
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1880-07-09

the coarse shoes would be taken off and
the "Sunday shoes" put on.
In time this simple mode of dress
came to be associated with piety. IF a
person was church-member and wore q
more stylish dress than the other people,
the act would beget public criticism.
A gentleman of education who, though
not member of any church, was an up
right man, once attended church dressed
In suit of broadcloth. The preacher,
being old-fashioned and narrow-minded,
associated broadcloth with those pomps
and vanities which Christian should
renounce. During the sermon he re-
ferred to the gentleman as the smooth
faced young man whose fine apparel was
contrary to tbs spirit of the gospel. The
gentleman, however, listened with an
appearance of respect to the criticism,
knowing that the preacher was honest,
if not wise. Youths Companion.

Wild Pigeons Nests.

One nesting Of wild pigeons is about
the same as another, and the first nest
you come to. like the million others in
the vicinity. When these migratory
birds have mated. decided where to sell
tie and staked off their claim, they pre-
coed to construct about the slightest
nest that will hold an egg and bird
Three sticks and a feather constitute
about the material, according to one au-
thority. The feather is often wanting,
but few more sticks are generally add
ed. The nest is placed in the crotch of
tree, on two forked branches, or any
where else in the tree where suitable
support can be found. Cedar trees
along the river bottoms seem to be pre-
ferred, but when the nestings are large
beech and other trees are occupied
From half-a-dozen to fifty or sixty nests
are built in a tree, and only one egg is
laid in each nest.

The Danger of Genius In Women.

Genius, when accompanied by right
principles and self-control, is a more
dangerous quality in woman than a
man. Nothing shows this more plainly
than the life Of Lady Caroline Lamb.
No one was more fully alive to her
faults than she was herself. When the
Hon. William Lamb, then Lord Mel
bourne, laid his heart and fortune at her
feet, she refused him, saying that she
was afraid that her violent temper would
wreck their happiness. Again, however,
he proposed, and this time, unfortu-
nately for herself, hewas accepted. Lady
CarSine's fear that she could not con-
troll her temper was byno means ground
less. At the marriage ceremony she was
seized with a fit of passion, and she thus
afterward described her behavior: ct
stormed at the Bishop, tore my valuable
dress to pieces, and was carried nearly
insensible to the carriage which was to
convey me forever from my home"
Lady Caroline was certainly at times not
quite sane. Lord Melbourne made her
far better husband than most men
would have done and though at last he
was obliged to separate from her he
still retained portion of his old affec-
ton. t
Without undertaking. intellect, we
think that no one will be inclined to
deny that both in men and women the
qualities of the heart are far more i'm
portant than those of the head, and we
cannot do better than conclude with
the following lines Of the late Canon
Kingsley, addressed to young girls, and
which bear closely on this subject
Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever;
Do noble things, not dream them all day long;
So making life death and that vast forever,
One grand sweet song.

The Beats of the Pulse.

By means of little instrument called
the sphygmograph, the pulse-beats may
be accurately and permanently record
ed And now DR.. B. w. Richardson,
LID, F. r. S., of London, by adding
microphone to sphygmograph, has
constructed sphygmophone, by which
the pulse-beat may be heard forty feet
away.
It seems that the sounds heard cor
respond to those of the heart, and are
three In number, one long and two
short, resembling the words "bother it. "
The three sounds are caused, the first by
contraction of the ventricle, as it throws
the blood into the aorta, and the other
two by the closing of the valve behind
it and the recoil of the arterial column,
as the contraction (systolel is finished.
It is found that the peculiar sounds of
the heart, when diseased, and by which
the physicians ear ascertains its condi-
ton, have their corresponding sounds at
the pulse. AS, for instance, those heard
where there is defective valve that al
lows the blood, which should be thrown
forward, to regurgitate into the chamber
behind. @s
