Locusts Eaten in AlGiers.

It is an ancient and sacred custom of the natives to eat these insects. Tradition has it that at the first appearance of the locusts Mohammed instructed his disciples not to destroy them. But one day the great prophet noticed on the wings of one of these insects an inscription in Hebrew characters saying: "We arc the soldiers of God; we lay ninety nine eggs. Whenever shall lay one hun- dred the universe will have been devoured by us" Mortified at this sacrilege the prophet straightway interviewed the Lord and re- ceived the order that as punishment of the locusts tho faithful should kill and eat them. That the natives highly relish the dish ap
 pears from the saying: "Next to the date the locust is the sweetest morsel." The Koran prohibits the flesh of animals not born, but the Mohammedan doctors of law, as becomes wise and dutiful guardians of their flocks, denied that locusts were fish, that as such tho common people might eat them, while the men in holy order should deny themselves this sweet morsel in order to avoid the temp tation to gorge themselves, Certainly q very wise and liberal interpretation to prevent q famine among the poor.-Philadelphi Times.

Boston,s Novel Entertainment.

In issuing invitations to an evening party q gentleman sent cards to ten young ladies and nine young gentlemen. Inclosed was handsomely engraved card bearing the word "Causerie," followed by the line from Par edise Lost" With thee conversing, forget all time" No little curiosity was aroused. When the nineteen guests had assembled the host presented ten current topics for discus sion, and instead of the gentlemen writing their names on the ladies' dance cards, the latter fitted about and selected their part ners for chat. As there was one lady too many, zest was added to the choice. But fif- teen minutes were allowed for each converse tion, when at the tinkle of a bell new move was made. The left out" lady reports as having the best time of all. Moving from couple to couple she ascertained ''just how popular Mrs Cleveland is in the country" ''how many cigars the average man smokes ill the course of the day." and ''the one and only correct recipe for preparing Boston beans. liable Talk

Easily Renedied.

Among the theatrical properties was-a fig ure of a colossal elephant. In each leg was placed boy, whose movements were care fully contrived to initiate the action of the real animal Immediately after its intro duction on the scene, and while the Blue beard, ungallant slayer of female beauty, was fretting and ranting on his back, the under prompter ran into the green room, seeking the manager, with consternation in his face. On finding him. the poor prompter exclaimed: "Oh, Lord, sir, the right leg of the elephant has got blind drunk and is box ing on the stage with the left, which is fast asleep all the while, dreaming about nothing at all, and Mr. Abomilique doesr't know what to do with the beast"

The Newly Married in China.

In one respect at least China sets an ex- ample which all the world would do we'll to follow. In this empire every one marries and no one "boards." Hence, generally speaking, there are as many welded couples as there are men and women above the mar riagable age, and as many centers of home life as there are couples married.
 The one modification to this rule exists in the fact that q newly married pair finds its home in the family of the husbands parents until the bride is herself a mother. With the marriage ceremony, the bride loses absolute ly and finally all connection with herr own home, and becomes an integral part of the family of her husband. In it she is only a servant, performing the most meniai Suties, and condemned to a life of hardship and drudgery until she is a mother. Then, at last, she is entitled to a certain amount ot respect and recognition, as something higher than beast of burden.-Chester Holcombe in Youths Companion.

4 Question of Time.

Another story about land speculation in the west is worthy of relating. It happened that land scheme was organized at Los Angeles, and many San Francisco people entered heartily into the enterprise. Among the subscribers was travelling salesman, whose business chanced to take him to the town in which he had purchased his lot. De string to experience the novel sensation of a landlord, he determined to survey his prop erty. The plans were got out, and to his horror he found that the lot he had purchased was situated one hundred yards from the shore, and that the Pacific ocean was at present in full possession of his claim. This was too much to be borne He sSept back to San Francisco and sought the agent who had so badly tricked him. That official received him with bland urbanlty and listened to his explanation with an amused smile. My dear boy" said the agent, after he had finished the recital of his wrongs, ''your land is all right. At present, it is true, the ocean covers your very desira- ble lot; but consider sir, the Pacific ocean is receding from the coast at the rate of two inches year, and in about 500 years your property will be the finest in the state. Good morning." The agent is living yet.-Phila- delphia Times.

Meanest Man in the World.

The meanest man in the world is the pro- prietor of q store in this city He has just posted up a notice to all the saleswomen in his establishment to the effect that they must wear buttoned shoes hereafter. When asked his reason for this order he said he lost money o1l the girls who wore laced shoes II havo in my store about 100 girls" said he, "and they all wear laced shoes. These shoes be- come united about five times every day, and it takes two minutes to tie them again. At that rate each girl loses 10 minutes a day, and 100 girls lose 1 ,000 minutes in the same time. That makes about 16 hours per day, or two days work, 1 pay my girls $150 per day, and the loss consequently means $3 per day, or about S1,000 per year. That much money will keep my boy and girl at school very nicely, or will pay my gas bills, and I propose to save t."-Philadelphia Record.
