A Remarkable Bill of Fare.

The description of a banquet is scarcely
complete nowadays without bill of fare.
Travellers are following the fashion of send
ing home such menus as strike their fancy or
seem for any reason worthy of record, and
we are thus getting very fair knowledge of
the gastronomic tastes of all nations. Fol-
lowing is Congo bill of fare, which Reade,
the explorer, leaves on record for the amuse-
ment of the curious: "Then followed gazelle
outlets la papillote; two small monkeys,
served cross legged and with liver sauce on
toast; stewed iguana, which was much adj

HOW pUss AsToNIsHED THE MONKEY.

HOW PUss AsToNIsHED THE MONKEY.
I knew a cat that lived in house where q
monkey was kept as pet, and although she
was as large as the monkey and could have
demolished him with her sharp teeth and
claws, she lived in constant terror of him.
He was always watching for an opportunity
to pounce on her as she passed up the gar
den, and she would scamper for her life to
get out of his reach.
But one day, as poor pussy was quietly
doing on the window sill, her nimble tor
mentor caught sight of her and sprang with
one bound onto the sill. But just as he was
stretching out his little hand to make clutch
at her fur, pussy started up. There was no
retreat, for she was in the corner of the SILL
Courage mounted with the occasion, and
rearing herself up like kangaroo, Miss Puss
dealt Mr.. Jocko such box on the ear with
her sharp claws, that clapping his hand to
the side of his head, he stared at her with
open mouth. While he was thus off his
guard, puss dropped down into the garden
and made good her escape before he had
time to recover from his astonishment.

Odd See-Saws.

I saw a cow-hide in the grass,
A rush-light on the door;
I saw a candle-stlck in mud,
And a bell-pull on the door.
I saw a horse-fy up the creek,
A cat-nip at her food;
I saw a chestnut-burr, and heard
A shell-bark in the wood.
I saw a jack-plane off a board,
A car-spring off the track;
l saw a saw-dust off the floor,
And then carpet-tack.
I saw a monkey-wrench hat
From a fair lady's pate;
I saw a rattle-snake bird,
And hogs-head on a plate.
Isaw a brandy-smash glass,
l saw a shooting-star;
heard the talk in the field,
A pig-iron crow bar.

You know the Golden Rule-"Do unto
others as you would that others should do
unto YOU" Here is a rule which is part of
the Golden Rule, but which we will put by
itself, because it is of value, and call it the
Silver Rule: think and say all you can of
the good qualities of others; forget and keep
silent concerning their bad qualities" Did
you ever think any more of boy or girl be-
cause he or she found fault with others? If
your schoolmates or playmates are ugly or
stingy or cross, it does not make them better
to talk or think about it. Rather tell all the
good you can and try to think of some good
quality. That is the Silver Rule, says Golden

Simple Scientific Experiments.

Simple Scientific Experiments.
A correspondent of Science News furnished
the following:
Wrapu round bullet in thin paper as
smoothly as possible, and hold it over a
fame; the bullet will melt before the paper
will burn. This is due to the fact that the
lead is good conductor Of heat, and con-
ducts it away from the paper SO rapidly that
it cannot be heated to the igniting point.
This experiment is rather difficult one, but
can be accomplished with little care. The
paper must be smoothly and closely wrapped
around the bullet, and the fame must not be
allowed to touch any part of the paper not in
contact with it.
Soak thread in salt water, and dry. Tie
cent at one end, and suspend it by the
other Burn the thread, and the cent will
remain hanging, as the salt in the thread

seems clear that they used it as a burial

the present cathedral was in building, many
Roman funeral vases and similar articles
were found under the surface. Above these
lay many skeletons of ancient Britons; above
these again were the collins and graves of

ITALIAN PEASANT BOY,

ITALIAN PEASANT BOY.
All these characteristics appear to the best
advantage in both sexes while young, grown
up women losing their bloom at an early age,
and men whitening apace under the influence
of the climate, hard work, and their own
fiery passions. Really handsome faces, with
regular. lineaments, are the prerogative of
girls and boys, and especially among the
latter charming specimens of humanity are
met with, models for cherubs as well as for
picturesque ragamuffins. The great painters
of the Italian renaissance loved to depict the
handsome pages, who at that time were an
indispensable appendage to the households of
the mobiles.
Artists of the modern italian school have
revived the tradition by selecting peasant
boys and girls of the present day for their
models. In the cut is represented one of the
merry, ragged urchins to be met now in
italian towns on market days, and the vii
lagos swarm with them. Their dilapidated
attire does not interfere in the least with
their high spirits and boisterous play and
impish mischief. Arrant and persistent
beggars-a plague to tourists as they are
one cannot help admiring their handsome
faces, their subtle agility and natural grace.
