Fulbert Dumontiel, gives an accurate
account Of the religious grasshopper
of Southern France, which the people
of the Midi call the Prega-Diou, mag
ming that the insect is engaged in
prayer.
When the Prega-Diou walks, it pro.
ceeds with q slow and solemn gait,
like a pilgrim with his staff. But
it does not walk a great deal. Its ordi-
nary attitude is that of an ecstasy Of
prayer, its arms raised toward Heaven.
This plous attitude, however, is alto
gether a deceitful one. The Prega-Diou
is not engaged in prayer, but is simply
awaiting his dinner. His forelegs, so
devoutly held upward and crossed, are
provided with tiny spurs or teeth, with
which he catches as in a wise small flies
and other insects, who, NJ. Dumontiel
observes, are deceived by the grasshop-
per's hypocritical attitude. Moreover,
this nrayinc prasshOpner has worse
faults than hypocrisy. He is a canni-
bal, and kills and eats his own sisters
and brothers. The wife kills her hus-

less nimble than his ''better half

A Famous English Oak.

the famous King oak, long the glory of
his noble forest. think this fancy of
his as to his last long home will meet
with wide sympathy. A drawing of this
majestic tree les before me in Strutt's
"Sylva Britannica where it says:
''The oak stands in Savcrnakc forest;
one of the most interesting spots in the
Kingdom to the lovers of wild, woody
scenery. While exploring its tangled
haunts and gazing on the massive trunks
that everywhere throw their aged arms
across his path, the Imagination of the
spectator watts him back to the days of
William the Conqueror and all the
Wanted privileges of the chase. The
King oak (this was in 1921 spreads its
branches over a diameter of sixty yards.
and is t%wenty-four feet in girth; the
trunk is quite hollow" 1t seems to have

More than three hundred years ago,
The night before Christmas. 1872, the

One of the largest manufacturers of
gloves in England recently issued a
circular to the fashionable dealers in
London pointing out that the habit of
attempting to wear gloves too small has
grown to such an extent that it has
seriously affected the reputation of the
factory, and urging the dealers to exer-
else their influence against this expensive
manifestation of vanity.
The annual summary of the losses of
vessels and lives in the Gloucester
fisheries for the past year shows that
81 lives were lost, against 131 last year
and an average of 1874 for each of the
previous fifteen years. The men lost
left five widows and thirteen children in
that city. The number of vessels lost
this year was 10, with tonnage of about
$50 tons, and representing a value of
about $67, 900, on which there was $685.
900 insurance. Last year the losses
numbered 10 vessels, with tonnage of
1,104 tons, valued $3.50 and insured
for $62, 600. The average los per year
for the previous fifteen years was IS
