Now that the aversion to batrachia for
food has been overcome to a certain de-
gree. it is to be hoped that the indisuta-
BILE delicacy of the eel as q palatable fish
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
ent science the eel is shown to be most
cleanly feeder, living upon the spawn of
fishes. 1t will touch nothing that is un-

medicine owes so much, discovered that

in Germany. There, fish of all sorts are
sold alive, and are killed in the kitchen

ty, and are sold at fifty and sixty cents

Chinese Paper Makers.

Eighteen hundred years ago the Chi
nese made paper from tibrous matter re-
duced to pulp. Now, each province
makes its own peculiar variety. The cele-
brated Chinese rice paper. that so resem-
bles woolen 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 yard
long. It is related that when 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.

Texas has a new industry. The Clear

organized in Galveston county, and is
doing big business in catching and can

and sent to France, where they are manu-
factured into a dentifrice. The oil that
arises on the watts where the crabs are
boiled is used in making soap, and is
said to be equal to cocoanut oil for this
purpose The crabs themselves are
packed IN ive-gallon cans, and are reck-
oncd good.

A slave could be bought for about
seventy-five cents in ancient Rome. This
was at the time of the conquest of Great
Britain, and one single Roman family
owned as many as 400 slaves. Among
them were some well-educated and supe-
rior people. Some were doctors, some
were tutors to the children and some
were artists.
Some of the monasteries in England
in the eighth century were presided over
by ladies. There was famous one at
Whitby in Yorkshire which was ruled by
the Abbess Hilda. She belonged to the
royal family. She trained up many cler-
gymen, and no less than five bishops.
C@dmon, the first English poet, dwelt in
her abbey.
The first light ever hoisted over the
Capitol at Washington, in 1847, was a
lantern on mast towering about one
hundred and fifty feet above the dome.
The mast was secured by heavy iron
braces. The lantern was surmounted by
ball and weather vane. With the glass
in the lantern it weighed about eight
hundred pounds 1t contained large
burners, and when lighted it illuminated
not only the entire Capitol grounds, but
all the higher portions of the city.
The Chinese have the following legend
about the invention of the fan: 1.-THE
beautiful Kau 81, daughter of power
full mandarin, was assisting at the feast
of lanterns, when she became overpow-
cred by the heat. She was compelled to
take off her mask. But, as it was illegal
to expose her face, she held her mask be-
fore it, and gently fiuttered it to cool
herself. The court ladies present noticed
it, and in an instant a hundred other
hands were waving their masks. This
was the birth of the fan, which to-day
takes the place of the mask in China"
The vane or weathercock, must have
been of very early origin. An old Latin
writer calls it triton, evidently from an
ancient form. The usual form on towers
and castles was that of banner, but on
ecclesiastical edifces it generally was a
weathercock There was q symbolic
reason for the adoption of the figure of
cock. The cross surmounted by ball,
to symbolic the redemption of the world
by the cross of Christ; and the cock was
placed upon the cross in allusion to the
repentance of st. Peter, and as re-
minder of the important duties of repent
ance and Christian vigilance.

Connecticut is the richest State in the
Union in improbable mines. Gold and
silver and many other metals have been
found in score of townships, but not
in paying quantity. North Stonington
has meagre marble mine, New London
is going to dig for petroleum, and day
or two ago soapstone mine, that once
was worked by the Indians, was discov-
cred within the borough limits of Will
limantic. The deposit cropped out on
the Young farm, near the @thestic Will
limantic thread mill, and not dozen
rods from the railroad. It is on high
ground that is clear of timber, and all
about it there is evidence that consider
able quantities of the stone were removed
at a distant time in the past. Fragments
Of soapstone pots and dishes, finely
chiseled and polished, have frequently
been found by villagers, and mounds of
upthrown earth, now grass grown, indi-
cate the places in which the Indians
worked in the old quarry. The mine is
to be worked by Springfield (Nass.) men,
who, by means of the magnetic needle,
which is strongly affected by the mag
netic ore in the stone, have traced the
deposit for long way down the hill
side, and who are confident that the
mine is very large and valuable one.
The old opening in the quarry at which
the Indians worked has been enlarged,
and the rock as far down as the workmen
have penetrated is pure soapstone. At
every point on the hill where shaft has
been made the stone is found in abund-
ance. The Springfield men will begin
to work the mike about the first of next
August.

which viii rise rapidly from the trap, fly
erratically, and make struggle to get

land the plan used to be to pull few
feathers out of the birds tail and apply
tar to the spot or to run pin into the
flesh. These practices were stopped by
the authorities, and now new method
is in use. The only water given to the
birds for twelve.to twenty-four hours be-
fore the tournament is salt water. This
almost maddens them, and when they
rise from the trap they fulfill all require

The emigration to this country from
Austria, Hungary, Italy, Russia and
China for the five years ended in 1885
was 341, ,77s. Nearly all of these emf
grants took the places of American labor
ers at starvation prices. A table recently
compiled shows that from 1875 to 1880.
inclusive, 2s3, 1853 skilled laborers came
to this country and 152, 4e7 unskilled la
borers. From 1881 to 1885 there were
541, ,112 of the former and 62s, 7ss of the
latter, showing an increase of the latter
of more than 300 per cent. All of the
unskilled laborers, as rule, remain in

Colonel Conway, who processes to
know all the noted 'bad men" of the
plains, tells ST. Louis Globe Democrat
reporter that they are invariably blondes.
He says the traditional idea of desper-
ado as man of raven locks, piercing
black eyes and long, jetty moustache is
all wrong. Hegoes into particulars thus !:
"Masterson, the famous sheriff of Dodge,
who had killed twenty-seven men when
he was twenty-seven years old, has light
hair and blue eyes. So has Doc. Halli-
day, exiled from Arizona for trying to
kill off all Tombstone in one day. The
Erp brothers could join Lydia Thomp-
son troupe if yellow curls went for any
thing. Luke Short, notorious through
out the entire West, is a little fellow of
blonde cast. That is the complexion
OF Mart Duggan and jim Kinney, two

Suicides hY Mon,archs.

There have been comparatively few in
stances of suicide among the occupants
of the thrones OF modern times. The
most recent case was that of Abdul Aziz,
Sultan of Turkey, who killed himself in
June, 1876, by opening the veins of his
arm with pair of scissors. His subjects
had rebelled against him, and the Coun-
Gil and Ministers had determined to re-
move him and appoint his nephew Murad
as Sultan in his stead.
In 1868 Theodore, Emperor of Abyssi-
mia, is said by some authorities to have
shot himself, while others assert that he
was killed in battle by the British inva-
ders.
On Oct. 8, 1890, Henry Christophe,
King of Hayti, in order to prevent him
self being taken prisoner by the insur-
gents, who had gained ascendancy in the
island, shot himself through the heart.
Charles VII, King of France, probably
inherited a taint of insanity from his
father, and the latter part of his life was
embittered by monomania, manifesting
itself in the apprehension that his chill
dren had conspired to poison him. Under
this apprehension he refused food for
seven days, and died of starvation near
Bourges, July %, 1861.
Concerning the death of Richard H..
King Of England, there were at the time
various conflicting reports, and there has
continued to be difference of opinion
among historians. Walsingham, Otter
bourne and Peter of Blois say that he also
starved himself to death. There is GER
tain parallel between the case of Richard
III. and that of Ludwig III. Both were
weak characters, both were deposed in
behalf of stronger aspirants to power,
both were shut up in a castle for safe
keeping, and both were reported to have
committed suicide In the case of the
English king, however, the weight of
the evidence perhaps favors the theory
that some interested persons assisted in
his taking off.
Among the aneients it appears that sui
eide was rather popular form of death.
Many of the philosophers advocated it as
an honorable and convenient method of
ending existence, and gave certain per-
tinence to their teaching by putting it in
practice themselves.
Among the long list of the rulers of
antiquity who died by their own hand
are Nero, Cleopatra, Dido, Boadicea,
Queen of the Iceni in Britain; Otho, of
Rome; Ptolemy, of Cyprus; Mithridatqs,
of Pontus; Saul, of Israel; Rameses the
Great, and Sardanapalus, of Assyria,
