If the shrimp is successful in it's depreda- tions the crab fourishes, but the latter dies if the shrimp does not return from his daily excursions. The "Ho-lo" is a fish having one head and ten bodies. The myths about snakes are the strangest of all. Thus the square snake of KWangsi has the power of throwing an inky fluid when attacked, which kills its assailants at once.
 Another snake can divide itself up into twelve pieces, and each piece, if touched by Q man, will instantly generate head and fangs at each end. The calling snake asks a traveller: "Where are you from and whither are you bounds" If he answers the snake follows him for miles, and, entering the ho- tel where he is sleeping, raises fearful stench. The hotel proprietor, however, guards against this by putting g oentipede in box under the pillow, and when the snake gives forth the evil odor the centipede is let out, and, flying at the snake. instantly kills him with bite. The fat of this snake, which grows to great size, makes oil for the lamps and produces flame which can- not be blown out. In Burmah and Cochin China is snake which has in the female sex face like pretty girl, with two feet grow ing under the neck, each with five fingers, exactly like the fingers of human hand. The male is green in color and has 8 long beard; it will kill tiger, but fox is more than match for it.

ton of it, which it would be better If he took, charge of himself. No man will deal with another's goods or interests as wisely as he will with his own. The thing for a rich man to do, in Mr. Carnegie's estimation, Is, first of all, to set the example of modest and sim pie living; then to provide moderately for the reasonable wants of those dependent upon him, and then to consider all surplus revenues as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer in the manner best cal culated to produce good results for the com- munity. In this light the man of wealth be- comes the agent and trustee of his poor brethren.

QUESTION CLUBS.

"Question clubs" have been formed in Massachusetts for the purpose of obtaining useful information, and incidentally to make the senators and representatives in congress from the State wretched. The idea originate ed with the consumers of tin plates, who prepared a set of questions which were sent to Senator Hoar and Senator Dawes of Mas saohusetts before congress adjourned, asking them to explain the merits or demerits of the proposed increase of taxation on the plates in the Senate bill.
 The way these "question clubs". work is thus described Five or more men in each town come together. They know just the sub jects on which they want information. They have headquarters in Boston. and they send up their questions, through the secretary of each club, to the central office of the United Question clubs in Boston. At that office the questions are put into good shape, printed and sent back to the different clubs to be signed by five or more members of each club, who then, on given day, mail them to sena- tors and representatives so that they all shall be received about the same time; or they may be mailed together by the secretary of the United clubs. These senators and repre- sentatives are invited to send their replies to the office in Boston, to be printed in the proper way.
 It is the intention of those who are leading this movement to put their questions not only to the members of the present senate and house of representatives, but to those who may be their successors, and also to the candidates for the State legislature on whom the election of senator devolves. They will reprint all these replies which they may re- ceive in pamphlet form for election purposes. In that pamphlet they will assign as much space as each reply requires. They will also assign page to each person, member of con- gress or otherwise, to whom the questions may be put, and that page will be left blank in the campaign document if the member ol candidate does not see fit to grant the cour tesy of reply.
 Whether or not this plan will amount te much remains to be seen. It will depend z great deal on the kind of questions asked.

A Chinese native paper published recently a collection of some geological myths of that country, few of which are worth noting. In Shan-si-there is bird which can divest itself of it's feathers and become a woman. At Twan-sin. chow dwells the Wan-mu Mao (mother of mosquitoes), fsh-esting bird, from whose mouth issue swarms kuosqui- toes when it cries. ung-chow stone swallow, which flies during vii in, and in fine weather turns to ss,. E. Another bird when killed gives much of1
 the hunter, and when the skin is thrown iHto the water it becomes a living bird again. With regard to animals, few are so useful as the "Jih- h-kih" OK, found in Kansuh, from which large pieces of flesh are cut for meat and grow again in 8 single day. The mer- man of the southern seas can weave kind of silken fabric which keeps house cool in summer if hung up in one of ths rooms. The tears of the merman are pearls. A large hermit crab is attended by 8 little shrimp which lives in the stomach of it's master.

GoOD FORM OF TO.DAY.
How It Differs From That of the Past
 In Various Important Respects.

London Daily News.1
 In lttle book entitled "Good Form," the etiquette of some few years ago is amus- ingly contrasted with that of to-day, when everything is more succinct and expediti- ous than it used to be.
 When the ladies of John Leech's time went to dinner parties they were shown into bedrooms and allowed some minutes to ad- just their ringlets. Now they hand their cloak to servant, and walk straight from their carriage or cab to the presence of their hostes. At weddings in "the forties" each bridesmaid had groomsmsn to look after her and see that she had what she liked at the elaborate breakfasts of the matrimonial function of that day. Now there is only ''best man," though how he comes by the superlative adjective when he is sole grooms- man it is difficult to say.
 [@ Among other changes of custom IS that concerned with the bridesmaids' dresses, which used to be given by the bride. And our authoress might have added that 1t is no longer fashionable, as it then was, for the bride to cry. All weddings nowadays are dry eyed. Crying has ''gone out" It was the very height of the fashion in the year 1897. When Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton married Miss Rosina Wheeler, an eye witness of the ceremony describes both bride and bridegroom as being Overcome with seusi-

The Oldest Pair OfTyElns. AL

Samuel and John Wise, who are believed to be the oldest pair of twins in the United States, If not in the world, reached their eighty-irst birthday yesterday. Both learned the undertaking and cabinet-making busi- ness. and from 1928 to 1863 carried on that business at Main street and East Washington lane, Germantown. The site has been used continuously for that purpose since 1769. The two brothers resemble each other very closely, and even their relatives have got "Uncle Sammy" and fUncle John" badly mixed up. Both are widowers. both were twice married both have the same num- Der of descendants and both are very deaf. Their physical health is good, and they are two as jolly old gentlemen as one will meet in days ride in stage coach. It has only been within 8 few years that they have shown sny signs of mutual decay. Neither of them ever used tobacco or any strong stimulants Many friends called to congratulate them yesterday.

ment was adopted appropriating 500
600 to the purchase of guns of musketry
calibre and dynamite to be placed in

been comprised in one act, and as in all
subss quent legislation the subject bad
been treated as one subj ct, his mott, n
to recemmit the bill, with u struction s
to include the whole controversy on one
measure, should be welcomed by the
committee. and should receive the
favorable action of the Senate.
The bill went over without action.
The Senate then took up the private

After Her Young.

A naturalist contributes to Nature,
from the island ofCrete, a paragraph
relating to one of the most interest
ing aspects of bird life. A gardener
caught a young but fully fedged
sparrow, which lie carried to the
house of a friend three miles away.
He left home early in the m morning.
He presented the bird to one of the
children, and it was put in a cage
and hung at the window, where it
seemed likely to be contented, losing
it's fright after few hours.
Later in the afternoon an old bird
was noticed futtering about the
cage, apparently trying to get atthe
little one, and the young bird at once
became frantic to get out.
The old bird was evid entity the moth
er Of the young one; the recognition
between them was too cordial to
leave any doubt upon that point;
and when the girl opened the cage,
as she did after little, they both
flew off rapidly in the direction of
the place from which the little one
had been brought.
1t was believed imp ossible that the
old bird should have followed the
gardener. as in that case it would
have been seen earlier in che day.
