"Reminiscences Of III. H."

No one loved beauty more than. she;
no one could depreciate the body more
when it began to lose its freshness. For
strong young men in their prime, for
blooming girls and mature womanhood,
she had an admiration rs frank and
almost as unqualified as o Greeks. But
her very alteration of physical loveliness
made her peculiarly sensitive to imper-
lection and the dismal accomplishments
of sickness. In her own case, when &C
cident brought infirmity upon her. it
was received at first with shudder OF
disgust, kind of quick, impulsive
scorn, of which, perhaps, only noble
natures are capable. She spoke of her
illness as "a career of disgrace. 1t
was not. probably, for the loss of crea.
ture comforts nor even the long train OF
affections which it entailed; these she
could endure; they proved, in fact, q
field for the exercise of a fortitude
which was little short of heroic. Health
meant liberty. its loss an endless series
of restrictions affecting her activity and
the free play of her intelligence. She
resented them as something outside OF
herself, which deserved only contemp,
and chastising Her soul she thought,
could lift itself above them-was above
them. Throughout her suffering she
kept her sunniness of spirit. her sereni.
ty and elasticity. And she continued
to work, and think of work. This
indeed, was an integral part of hel
creed. To idlers and dilettanti she had
always turned cold shoulder; they hat
no place in her scheme of things. i
her antipathy assumed at times .
humorous form, il was none the less rea
and deep-seated. It would have graft
fed the most rigid economist to have
heard her set forth this thesis of life az
a period of active production. She re.
joiced to call herself, and be called, a
working woman; there was no better
title under heaven to her sense, and
her life was long enforcement of the
belief, fruitful illustration of how il
could be practiced with dignity and
success.-Neao Princeton ReUieW.

Mamma From the East.

Don Luigi Sartori writes to the Balti-
more San from Upper Falls Post Office.
Baltimore County, Md, as follows:
Travelling in the East last year, from
Arabia to Palestine, met good Ar
menian Catholic priest coming from
Mesopotamia. Among various articles
of diet he brought with him in his jour-
ney to Constantinople there were about
five pounds of mamma ,incased in q
leather bag. At his meals he partook
of that food as we do of cakes. He
positively maintained that such food falls
from heaven as white powder two or
three times year, and is collected from
the leaves of trees and from the surface
of flat stones. The food, when protect
ed by leather, will keep for five or six
years. send you piece of this man
ma for curiosity. eat of this food, and
it contains great deal of sugar. From
the positive description of the good
priest it cannot be natural emulation
from the leaves and branches of the
plant alhagi maurorum, which was be-
lieved by the early Arabian writers to
have fallen from heaven. The good
priest had excellent credentials. We
both were allowed to say mass at the
historical Franciscan Convent at Jaffa."

Bouquets Under Water.

The following, taken from VicE'S Mag
dStne, is a description of the process by
which bouquet of flowers may be pre-
served fresh for long time:
A vessel Of water is required, the YES
sci should be large enough to allow the
submersion in it of plate or dish hold
ing the bouquet to be preserved. and n
bell glass to cover the bouquet The
dish or plate should contain no moss or
other material; the water should be
limpid and quite pure. Place the plate
at the bottom of the water, and on the
plate. submerging it, place the bouquet,
which is maintained IN an upright posi-
ton by n weighted base previously at
tached to it. This being done, the bou-
quet is covered with bell glass, the
rim of which ought to fit exactly to the
flat part of the plate; the bell glass
should be entirely filled with water, and
without the least air bubble.
Then all are raised together, plate,
bouquet and bell glass filled with water,
and placed on table, carefully wiping
the exterior, but leaving on the plate,
around the base of the bell glass, a lit
tie provision of water, which prevents
the entrance of air. The flowers in this
condition will be preserved in all their
freshness for several weeks. and their
beauty is increased by great number
of bubbles of gas. produced by the re-
spiratiOn of the leaves. and which attach
themselves to the petals, appearing like
pearls. The edge of the plate and the
water that it contains should be con-
cealed by light bed of moss, in which
are set some other flowers. In the eve
ming by artificial light, bouquet thus
arranged produces charming effect

Spiders Kill q Snake.

A gentleman recently found in his
wine cellar live striped snake, nine
inches long, suspended between two
shelves by the tail, by spiders web.
The snake hung so that his head could
not reach the shelf below him by about
an inch, and several large spiders were
then upon him sucking his juices The
shelves were about two feet apart, and
the lower one was Just below the bottom
of the cellar window, through which the
snake probably passed into it. From
the shelf above it there was web in
tho shape of an inverted cone, eight or
ten inches in diameter ut the top, and
concentrated to focus. about six or
eight inches from the underside of the
shelf. From this focus there was
strong cord made of the multiplied
threads of the spiders web, apparently
as large as common sewing silk, and by
this cord the snake was suspended.
Upon critical examination through
magnifying glass the following curl
Gus facts appeared: The mouth of the
snake was fast tied up by great num-
Der of threads, wound around it so
tight that he could not put out his
tongue. His tail was tied in a knot so
as to leave a small loop or ring through
which the cord was fastened; and the
end of the tail above this loop to the
length of something over half an inch
was dashed fast to the cord to keep it
from slipping
AS the snake hung the length of the
cord from his tail to the focus to which
| it was fastened was about six inches,
| I'D xha 81 !,
served n round ball the size of a pea.
Upon inspection this appeared to be q
green fly, around which the cord had
been wound as the windlass with which
the snake had been hauled up, and
great number of threads were fastened
to the cord above. and to the rolling
side of this ball to keep it from unwind
ing and letting the snake down. The
cord, therefore, must have been extend
ed from the focus of the web to the
shelf below, where the snake was lying
when first captured. and being made
fast to the loop in his tail, the fly was
carried and fastened about midway to
the side of the cord. And then by roll
ing this fly over and over it wound the
cord around it, both from above and
below ii, until the snake was raised to
the proper height, and then was fasten-
ed as above mentioned. In this situa-
ton the suffering snake hung alive, and
furnished a continual feast for several
large spiders for three days, when some
persons, by playing with him, broke
the web above the focus SO as to let
part of his body rest on the shelf below.
In. this situation he fingered, the spiders
taking no notice of him, until eight
days after he was discovered, when
some large ants were found devouring
his "dead body."-Spirit of the Times.

Children and Nature.

Our modern scientific methods of
education are slowly correcting hosts
OF popular errors regarding everyday
subjects of observation, and doubtless q
succeeding generation will have out
grown many queer conceits and myths
now held as facts by the great majority
of country children. 1t will hereafter
be interesting to have preserved full
record of such misapprehensions. The
wish to add trifle to such record
has led me to note some common SUPER
stitions concerning animals and plants,
which have come under my own know
ledge. Children have quick perceptions,
and therefore are good observers or
seers. The observations they make,
however, regarding the animals and
plants about them, while often in them.
selves quite accurate, lead to very in
correct conclusions This Is because
children do not reason deeply. Ittakes
a long time for them to learn that not
once or twice, but great many times,
must one phenomenon follow certain
other preceding phenomena to warrant
the use of the logical terms effect and
cause. Caution In forming deductions
comes only with experience and educa-
ton. Children have keen eyes for any
strange peculiarities as well rs for real
or fancied resemblances. and are quick
to appreciate the qualities of plants.

speaking of children said, They bow
as some fetch before poisonous plants.
