The Emperor's waIking.Stick.

Not long ago, during the absence of the
Emperor, an English visitor was shown
through one of the imperial castles near
Berlin. He looked upon everything with
the most utter Cockney superciliousness,
until, say the story-teliers, he came
across collection of walking-sticks,
when one of these, a sturdy piece of
hickory, quite captivated his fancy.
Long and longingly he gazed upon it and
handled it, nor did his admiration de-
crease when his guide, the stewards
daughter, informed him that it had been
cut from the forest and fashioned into
shape by the Emperor's own hands. At
last, however, he was constrained to tear
himself away from the object of his fam
cy, but just as he was leaving the castle
his admiration for the stick blazed forth
beyond control, and drawing handful
of sovereigns from his pocket he init
mated to his fair guide that by so much
would she become richer if she would al
low him to bear away the coveted cane
Of course she spurned the temptation in
dignantly, and he went away disconso-
late. Well. the girl told her father about
it, and he carried the story to the EN-
peror on his ruturn to the castle, a week
later. And when Kaiser Wilhelm heard
it he laughed right royal laugh and ex-
claimed: ''If the fellow had offered me
so much good gold for the stick, l would
have taken it, and turned it into the fund
for the invalid soldiers"

Parasites.

The word parasite is Greek. 1tmeans
literally, one who eats with another-the
guest at feast. But it was early applied
to that class of guests who manage, by
tlattery and fawning, to live at other
peoples expense. The Romans adopted
it, and hence Platus SAYS: Parasites are
like mice-they eat the food that belongs
to somebody else" Modern science has
applied the word to vegetables and ami
mails that attach themselves to other
plants or to other animals, and live upon
them as the human parasite lives upon
his host These parasites are almost in
Vulnerable. The microscope is daily re-
vealing new ones. There are three
classes of them: % Vegetable parasites
that fasten upon plants or trees; (2) ami
NAL parasites, that feed upon vegetables,
shrubbery and trees, and 81 animal
parasites, that attach themselves to other
animals. OF the first class, the mistletoe
and the cat are familiar illustration;
to the second belong all the varieties of
tree borers and plant lice, and the third
the ichneumon f1y, that takes possession
of the caterpillar, and all the blood-suck-
ing insects that prey upon man and beast
A few parasites may be useful. The vine
which produces the vanilla bean is said
to be a parasite. But the almost universal
rule is that parasites are both useless and
destructive. They attack plants or ami
mails more valuable than themselves;
they feed upon the sap or the blood; they
exhaust the vitality of that upon which
they fasten in order to sustain their own;
and then they do no good in the world;
they bear no fruit; they furnish no food;
they are pest in the garden, the or
chard, the housekeeping e.-Prairie
