They Kissed Him.

as tutor to gentleman's son in New
York When l got there the first per-
sons I met in the house were couple
of handsome young girls. They had
been expecting a cousin, and at once
mistook me for the gentleman. They
fell upon my neck and gave me the
warmest kind of greeting. Talk
about kissing. / got kisses red-hot
from the mill. The old story about a
COW pulling her hoof out of the mud
was nowhere. They kissed me forty
times If they kissed me once, and then
gave me a chance TO explain. When
they discovered that l wasn't their
cousin they collapsed. j told them not
to blush, that kissing wasn't injurious
to my health, and if they were not hurt

been shaved that morning, and my

was funny, but kind of embarrassing to
the girls. / became tutor to the fami-
ly, however, and myself and the ladies
seldom afterward spoke. have often
felt sorry that wasn't born a coach

and that is why ] took such liking TO
the play. ~ Pfttsburg Gazette.

A doctor claims to have discovered
way to prevent the ravages of phyllox-
era, from which the grapes growing dis
tricts of France have been suffering SO
seriously of late years Experiments
with the use of arsenic have proved
successful, and the doctor is making
still others upon larger scale. Much
public interest is felt in the expert
ments, and their result is awaited with
eager hope
NJ. Urueta, in a recent paper about
snakes, relates that in Colombia their
chief destroyers are two species of birds
tho ealabrero and gaucabo- and the
cats and hogs. The latter are suppos-
ed to be protected from the sting on
account of their adipose tissue. Cats
receive bad sores from the venom, but
do not die. The writer saw a cat eat

its wounded places liberated, but soon
healed.

lung affections, also a positive and
radical cure for nervous debility and

tested its wonderful curative pow

cooks FoIIy.r

There is an estate for sale adjoining
Sneyd Park, near Bristol, England, on
which stands a ruined tower known as
Cooks Folly The legend attached
to this relic is that which tells how
Dame Cook, being at the time as ladies
wish to be who love their lords, met an
astrological tramp near the mansion.
She gave him a shilling and challenged
him to tell the fortune of her unborn
child. He did it without turning a
hair, declaring in four-and-forty lines
of limping verse that the son and heir
of Sir Maurice Cook would flourish un-
til his twentieth year, when, as the dog
gerel has it, "a secret, silent foe should
strike the boy deadly blow" As the
lad neared the fateful term of his life
the anxious father, determined to be-
lie the prophecy, built this Folly, y sent
his SON to live twelvemonth in It, and,
the more surely to exclude all peril,
walled up the door, the voluntary pris-
oner drawing up all supplies in a bas-
ket. OF course, all went well until
of all days in the year-the very day
before the completion of the twelve
month. In the fagot of wood which
was sent up to Cook. Jr., a lurking
snake was hidden, which during the
night got away with the unlucky youth,
who was found next morning lifeless,
with an adder in his bosom.

A sTaryc,ous stream.

At distance of thirty miles south
of the River Diamnte our route passed
by a natural object of considerable in-
terest--a stream. or rather rill, of yell
lowish white. fluid ike petroleum issu-
ing from the mountain side at a consid-
cradle height and trickling down the
slope till lost in the porous soil of the
Falley below. The source from which
ii flowed was at the junction, where q
hard nfetamorphic rock, interspersed
with small crystals of agnite, overlap
a stratum of volcanic tufa. 1t was
formed like the crater of a volcano,
and full of black, bituminous matter,
hot and sticky, which could be stirred
up to tho depth of about eighteen
inches.
Flourdering in it was a polecat or
skunk (Mephitis varians), having been
enticed to its fate by the desire of se-
curing bird caught in the natural
bird lime. till bullet from the revolver
of one of the party terminated the
skunk's Struggles to extricate itself
from the warm and adhesive bath in
which it was hopelessly captive. The
overflow from this fountain was, as de-
scribcds like a stream of petroleum two
or three feet wide triekling over a bed
of pitch or some such substance, which
extended to much greater width
along the edge of the running stream
at its contact with it. This material was
OF very sticky nature, becoming grad
ually harder as it spread further out.
assuming the appearance of asphalt
when it become mingled with the loose
sand of the adjoining soil.
While engaged in examining this
natural curiosity, we came upon two
small birds, caught in the sticky sub
stance at the edge of the stream; they
were still alive, but upon releasing
them both the feathers and the skin
came off where they had como In con-
tact with the bituminous matter, so
that we had to kill them to put an end
to their suferings. No doubt they had
been taken in by the appearance Of
water which the stream presented, and
had alighted to drink, when they dis
covered their mistake too late. Their
fate suggested the idea that in dis
trict so devoid of water others of the
feathery tribes must constantly become
victims to the same delusion in a SINH
lar manner, and upon a close inspec-
tion of the margin of the stream the
correctness of this inference was es-
tablished by tho discovery of numerous
skeletons of birds imbedded in it; nor
were those of small quadrupeds un-
represented, among which we recog-
nized the remains of fox.-Frons |
