CRUELTY TO INSECTS.
FlOridOhat Impales Them an

A Bird FloridOhat Impales Them and
on ThOrns.
Of all the birds in this section, says a
Florida letter, there is one that will afford
an idler lots of amusem ent if the will
spend an occasional hour watching close
ly. It is the shrike or butcher bird. A
few days ago WAS III an orange grove a
few rods from the house. where an old
darky with the assistance OF mule, was
blowing, and a butcherbird was flying
from tree to tree, following I'D the newly
plowsd furrow looking for insects. Every
few minutes he would go to pick up q
beetle or insect, and for some time he
simply swallowed his victims. After q
little he seemed to have had enough to
eat, and just then little flock of larks
were seen running along in the newly
turned furrow, at times almost touching
the old darkey's heels. Now and then
they would come across an insect too
large for them TO easily manage, and
then would begin a little scuffie. Then
the butcherbird would swoop down in the
center of the little flock, snatch up the
insect and fly off with it before the larks
knew what he'd happened. The butcher
bird had eaten all he wanted, and SO with
the beetle in his beak, he few to the near
est orange tree, and selecting long,
sharp thorn, he impaled the insect upon
it. I watched this bird put at least ten
insects on different thOrns.

PRINCES PIPES.
Great Smokers in the German Royal Family
The Crown Princes Loss.

Great Smokers in the German ROYAL Family
The Crown Princes Loss.
One of the greatest deprivations which
the crown prince has had to endure is the
loss of his pipe. "UDser Fritz was
always great smoker, and he dearly
loved 20 blow cloud from a big -bowled
wooden pipe. which the princess royal
carried for him with her own fair hands.
The crown princess-unlike Mrs. Carlyle
has always encouraged her husband to
smoke at home.
The man who smokes at home and
whose wife does not object to the smell
OF tobacco has the pathway of domestic
happiness rolled and made smooth for
Elm. half the misery of married life has
ITS origin IN the lady turning up her nose
at the smell OF cigar. The crown prin-
cess has never made this mistake, and so
many pleasant evenings has she spent
with her husband at home, she doing her
needle-work or reading aloud, aud he
smoking his long pipe and feeling
beautifully comfortably and lazy and
snug.
Or late the poor prince has had his
pipe taken out of his mouth His all
ment has literally put his pipe out. Not
only must he not smoke himself, but he
can not breathe the air that is impreg-
mated with tobacco, and so his sons when
they come TO see him have to smoke out
of doors. 1t is to this fact that San Re-
mo at one time mustered among its at
fractions royal prince with a briar-root
pipe peIpetually in his mouth. Prince
Henry, the croTn princes second son,
smokes his pipe in the English fashion,
aud smokes 1t morning, noon, and night.
You could meet him when he was at San
Reno stroliing about after breakfast
with well-colored English short clay or
Guilty. In the afternoon he made lust
this sacrifice to fashion-he changed the
clay for a briar-root.
1t is related of him in San Reno that,
going to church one Sunday afternoon,
he started with his prayer-book under his
arm and his briar-rooE we'll allght in his
mouth. A young English friend of his,
who was staying at San Reno, ventured
on mild remOnstrance. "My dear boy"
said the English dandy, "ycu are not
going to church with that thing in your
MOUTH" Prince Henry took his pipe
out of his mouth and looked at it. 81
beg your pardon, old fellow" he said, az
forgot it was Sunday" He ran back
home with the briar-root and reappeared
with a meershaum.

INGALLS, as a School Teacher

Senator 1ugalls once taught school,
while quite young man at Rallowell,
Mass. The school committee asked him
If he would teach school q week The
Senator says: II said I would. l did.
Next morning l appeared ct the DESK.
The pupils some of them were big, treat
ed me fippantly and declined to recog-
nlze the majesty of my position. They
made racket and refused to obey me.
They manufactured a crude sort of papier
mache in thsir mouths and threw wads of
1t at the ceiling. They whistled. They
openly derided me and when they went
out ct recess they spoke calum niously of
me.
II contemplated them sadly, but failed
to conquer them by gentle demeanor. So
at noon time [ We mt down home and ask
ed my father who was q shoe maufactur-
er to cut me strap of sole lether about
two feet long and three inches wide. He
did so. put it a-soak, and the next
morning it was ready. The subsequent
details are somewhat vague and nebulous,
but [ recall the fact that four mothers
can the next noon to have me removed
and punished for cruelty to children, and
that by the end of the week not more than
one-tenth of the original pupils answer
ed the roll-col, was hardly brilliant
success as an educator of the eager in
tellect of the growing bumptious boy, but
l managed to stay in the school house.
81 got S. for that weeks work, or what
ever you call it," he added, "the first
money that ever earned. bought with
that S. a set of Whittier's works. I got
the moneys worth out of the books,
but was sorry last month to hear that
they had been b urnt with my house."

Fondness for Baked Monkeys.

1 have eaten with the Chinese in China,
said Colonel Patrick Donan. I have
eaten with the president of the United
States in the white house. ! have eaten
with nearly every nation on earth. In
many cases I don't know what have
eaten, for l have always considered 1t as
bad taste to ask questions about the
dishes that are provided in your honor by
hospitable people. In China I have
eaten rats. but did not know it. and
what you don't know won't hurt you.
When the Sioux wishes to do you honor
they will serve you up roast dog. In
Spanish Honduras the dish of honor is
baked monkey, and sweeter meat you
could not imagine. The monkeys live up
in the branches of trees and on the vines,
their feet never touched the ground be-
meath them and they live on the choicest
nuts and fruit. No chicken was ever SO
tender and sweet as baked monkey. 1 do
confess, though, that on one occasion of
my dining in Honduras / did not feel
that all was we'll when at the end of the
meal l found l had stuffed myself with
stuffed lizard. 1t tasted good but when
saw its big scaly leg it didn't tas~ 81
