and as suddenly faded away her lips
parted in faint sigh. Swaying forward
she would have fallen, but for Paul, who

Now that the aversion to batrachia for

will be more generally recognized. The
Egyptians were the only ancient people
who did not consider the eel fit food for
kings and princes. In the light of pres

few moments before they are to be
cooked. Eels are considered great dain-
ty, and are sold at fifty and sixty cents
pound. Having received an unusually
large fish from the neighboring town,
and wishing to keep it until the next
day, the cook took it in large bucket
with water to the hotel, that it might be
kept in the fish pot" in a running
stream until wanted A moment or two
after she left the house with her shining,
steel-blue burden, | heard a swish of
water, and looking out of the window
saw his eelship seize the edge of the
bucket by his tail and throw himself
over, as it were, by "back hand spring"
on the ground. Now began a chase such
as is seldom seen. The astonished cook
attempted to catch the great creature,
forgetting in her zeal that slippery as
an eel" was no vain adage. Away over
the hard road wriggled the fish, with the |
cook in frantic pursuit. By this time
quite number of persons joined in the
chase, but to no purpose. Fearing to |
injure the creature, there was no force |
used and fully fifteen minutes elapsed
before the eel was captured and replaced
in the bucket. The precaution was
taken to cover the top of the bucket
with a net, so that any further attempt
to escape was precluded. -Neto York

Chinese Paper Makers.

Eighteen hundred years ago the Chi
nese made paper from fibrous matter re-
duced to a pulp. Now, each province
makes its own peculiar variety. The cele-
brated Chinese rice paper, that so resem.
bles wooden and silk fabrics, and on
which are painted quaint birds and flow
ers, is manufactured from compressed
pith, which is cut spirally by keen
knife into slices six inches wide and twice
as long. Funeral papers, or paper imi-
tations of earthly things which they de-
sire to bestow on departed friends, are
burned over their graves. They use
paper window frames, paper sliding
doors, and paper visiting cards a yard
long. 1t is related that when a distin-
guished representative of the British gov
ernment visited Pekin several servants
brought him huge roll, which, when
spread out on the floor, proved to be the
visiting card of the Emperor
