Among other curiosities of geological lite
rature mentioned by Aristotle, which seem
to receive his support, and which may be set
down as the current folklore of his time, we
may enumerate the following: eff anyone
makes a noise as grasshonpers fly along, they
emit kind of moisture, as agriculturists
say; they feed on dew, and if person ad-
vances to them bending his finger and then
Strengthening it, they will remain more quiet
than if the finger is put out straight at once,
and will climb up the finger, for from bad
sight they ascend it as if it were a moving
leaf" persons who have parasites in the
head are less subject to headache Moths
are produced in the greatest abundance if a
spider is shut up with them in the wool, for
this creature, being thirsty, dries up any
moisture which may be present. Small
birds during the day fly round tho owl
which is called admiring it-and they fly
round it they pluck out its feathers" 'The
anthus (some bright-colored bird) is an enc
my to the horse, for it drives the horse from
its pasture and eats the grass; it initiates the
voice of the horse and frightens it by flying
at it, but when the horse catches it he kills
it." eff anyone takes hold of she goat by
the long hairs of the beard, all the others
stand still as if bewildered and gaze at her." "
'EThe hawk, though carnivorous, does not
eat the hearts of the birds it has killed y
"The jay has many varieties of voice; it ut

We sold some cottons too cheap last week,

care to 'give away" these things too freely

The Hairdressers' Congress, which has
been drawing masters of the art from all
| parts of Austria toward Vienna, was con,
cluded by the curious spectacle of eompeti
tive hairdfessins performed by twelve ladies'
| halrdressers on living models, who were
seated on raised platform, round which the
Vienna public thronged. Half an hour was
| the limit within which the twe1ve 5Uung
ladies' heads had to be adorned with coiffures
of original design. The last competitor fin
ished two minutes before the half hour was
over, and the admiration and satisfaction
seem to have been general, especially at the
feat performed by d progressive hairdresser
who adorned his model with spark of cleo
| trio light instead of the customary jewelry.
A petition for the repeal of capital pun
ishment has been introduced in the Maine
legislature, the grounds upon which it is de-
sired to return to Imprisonment for life being
stated as follows: First, the death penalty
exceeds the right of man; the law should
teach the sacredness of human life; second,
the law has failed to accomplish what its
supporters claimed for it; third, the change
of the law would make conviction of capital
crimes more certain, and the best results of
the law are secured by certainty of convic-
ton rather than severity of punishment
Soon after the petition had been referred a
bill was presented providing for change of
the present law relating to capital punish
ment SO that convicted murderer shall be
executed in not less than three nor more than
six months after conviction, instead of from
twelve to fifteen months, as at present.
There seems to be some excuse for the re-
port that Mississippi politicians have an idea
of sending back jeff Davis to the seat he
held in the United States Senate when he
left it in 1861. The project has been in the
air, we are told, for some time past, but the
Liberty Bell episode has precipitated it as a
definite. settled political purpose. EEThe
New Orleans exposition" we are further told, /,
''has simply given the old leader the chance
to emerge from his obscurity, the hermit life
he had chosen for himself Davis recognizes
that he is once more the active leader of his
people. 1t is determined already to give him
the nomination for Senator in tho State leg
islature. Mississippi desires it, the entire
South are expecting it, and only his own
fusal stands between his present seclusion
and his future power as a rejuvenated leader
rendered additionally great and potent by
martyrdon." This is all in
teresting, even if it is not true.
