ChicOry Farming.

ChicOry farming promises to be one
of the coming industries of California
farming. Chicory was first planted in
that state about fifteen years ago, but
since that time it has been extensively
raised on the San Joaquin and Sacra-
mento rivers. Chicory is cultivated
on small scale in some of the eastern
states. and in some places in that Sec
ton grows wild in abandoned fields
and orchards. 1t grows very thrifty
on the bottom lands of Louisiana and
Texas. The root of the plant, when
being prepared for use, is cut by ma
chine into small square blocks, then
placed in the sun to dry, afterwards
roasted, and finally ground in mill.
Chicory possesses few elements in
common with coffee; and yet it i'm
parts taste to it greatly fancied by
certain coffee drinkers in Europe. In
France and Belgium, the common
people have been SO accustomed to
chicory with the coffee they drink that
they prefer it so prepared, to the bev-
erage in its pure state. Travellers in
those countries, even when they pur-
chase pure coffee for their private
consumption, find that the cooks will
mix chicory with it, even after having
received strict orders to the contrary.

Insects i'm Bricks,

Having occasion in San Francisco
to examine a brick that was taken
from an old ruined and fOrsaken build
ing which was being torn down to
make room for a handsome business
block, reporter was somewhat start
led upon adjusting a microscope to see
each pore of the brick inhabited with
a peculiar rOd-like animalcul2 of the
genus bacilli. AS these insects cannot
be seen other than by the microscope,
even when they live in the human
system and prey upon our vitality,
neither are they visible in the soil or
substance in which they may live and
hive, except by a powerful glass.
Their motions when exposed to blows
were as the link of a chain, reminding
one Of system Of joints to be extend
ed and contracted. They were
semi-transparent, with a slight,
scintillating column nearly two-thirds
their length, extending from nearly
their head to their pointed tails,
probably their spinal column. AS this
brick was from the foundation and
being underground and next to the
street sidewalk, it illustrates forcibly
the fact that however hard burnt and
well made, porous substances should
not be put underground for foundations
or sewers. Solid rock, OF concrete, OF
terra GOTTA are the only proper build,
ing materials below the level of the
sidewalks.

The LeOpard's FavOrite MOrseIs.

The poets, as Broome and Somer-
vile, seem to think the leopard looks
on the dog as its natural master and
conqueror, whereas the fact is that the
leopard looks upon the dog as its natu-
raj food, The leopard's taste for dogs
is certainly one of the most eXtraordi-
nary phenomena III natural history.
We say that cats like fish and that
monkeys are fond of nuts, but these
are mere passing whims, caprices of
the moment, compared to the constant
passion of leopards for dogs. 1t is
very Chinaman for its delight in pup
py, for it will follow man for miles
like his shadow if u dog bc at his
heels-and it will be very extra
ordinary dog indeed, if it does not at
last give the leopard its chance. The
best of dogs sometimes commits the
indiscretion of lettering behind his
master, or running out of sight round
a corner in front of him, and if he
does this with "A leopard on his track,
nothing more is ever seen of the dog,
and nothing more heard of him but
his last squeal as he is swiftly snatch
ed up from the path and carried with
sudden rustic of foliage, down the
hillside AT night leopards will prowl
around the tent, shifting under the
canvas for the dog that they can
smell within; or in the hill stations,
will boldly come down among the
houses and carry off the pet of the es-
tablishment, though servants may be
moving about. 1t is on record, that
in the station of Gumsoor not q single
dog escaped and nearly every resi-
dent of India, who has ever camped
out in the jungle where leopards are,
or has lived in "the hills" has had
some tragic experience of this mania
oI Ine leopard 1Or dogs.
In about the same degree, but obvi-
ously for very different reasons, the
monkey takes the most profound inter
est in the leopard, and when one is
afoot the fOur-handed folk follow him
as closely as they dare, shaking the
branches in their absurd rage, chatter
ing furiously at their enemy. and max
ing faces at him. Sometimes, hOwev-
er, the leopard stops abruptly and
glares at them, and the wretched mon
keys gathering overhead. get so excit-
ted in their demonstrations, that very
often one of their number is pretty
sure to lose its balance and tumble
conveniently intOthe leopard's mouth.
A tradition was once widely current
that the panther was sweetly scented
says Dryden. "the panther's breath
was ever famed for sweet" and that
this fragrance was so fascinating to
some small animals that it enticed
them to their death in the jaws of the
aromatic beast. 1t is a fact, however,
that the panther itself is peculiarly
sensible to perfumes, and among other
instances Is one of undeniable authen-
ITCHY OF panther being tanned with
lavender water.

In Mexico nearly every one is a
smoker. The school children who have
done well in their studies are reward
ed by being allowed to smoke a cigar
as they stand or sit at their lessons.
The schoolmaster is seldom without a
cigar in his mouth. In the law courts
all persons commonly enjoy their to-
baccO freely, and even the accused in
a criminal trial is not denied this in
diligence, but is allowed, if his cigar
cite goes out in the heat of the argu-
ment, to light it again by borrowing
that of the officer who stands at his
side to guard him.
