the right direction, as Pto. Rico is a large

advantages for banking. Mr.. G. o.

chosen to visit that Island, and to report
upon it, as a field for a new Branch of the
Bank, but the strict quarantine regula-

Like TO BE HumbugCed.

The Chinese themselves do not be-
heve in dissection and there IL no body
snatching here. They believe that the
heart is the seat of thought, that the
soul exists in the liver and that the
gall bladder is the seat of courage.
For this reason the gall bladders of
tigers are eaten by soldiers to inspire
them with courage. The Chinese doc
tor ranks no higher than the ordinary
skilled workman. He gets from Is to
20 cents a visit, and he often takes
patients on condition that he will cure
them within certain time or no pay.
He never sees his female patients ex-
cept behind a screen, and he does not
pay second visit unless invited. His
pay is called golden thanks, and the
orthodox way of sending 1t to him IL
wrapped in red paper. The dentists
lcok upon pulled teeth as trophies, and
they go about with necklaces of de-
cayed teeth about their necks or with
them strung upon strings or tied TO
sticks. Toothache is supposed TO como
from worm in the tooth, and there
are "A set of female doctors who make
a business of extracting these worms.
When the nerve is exposed they take
this out and call ii the worm, and when
not they use slight-of-hand by which
they make their patients believe GER
tain worms, which they show them,
came from their teeth. l have heard
persons tell of Cinnamon who claimed
To have had ten worms taken from their
mouths in single day, and saw a

superstition "a the West India islands,

A Entefnl Ring.

A curious story is related from Mad.
rid in explanation of the misfortunes
which have lately afflicted the royal
house of Spain. 1t appears that the
root of the mischief is fatal ring of
quite medieval deadliness. The late
King Alfonso XII. gave it to his cousin,
Mercedes, when he was betrothed to
her, and she wore it during the whole
of her short married life. On her death
the King presented it to his grand
mother, the Queen Christina. She
died very soon after, when it passed to
the Kings sister, the Infanta del Pillar,
who at once began to sicken, and in a
few days breathed her last. Alphonso
then handed it to his sister-n-law.
Christina, the youngest daughter of the
Duke of Montpensier, but in three
months she was also dead. His Majesty
now resolved to retain the baleful Jewel
in his own keeping, but he, too, soon
fill victim to it's mysterious malig-
Lancy. BY order of his widow it has
now been suspended by chain around
the neck of tho statue of the Maid of
Almudena, the patron saint of Madrid.

Frost-PrOOf Flowers.

1t is possible, even in our northern
tier of States, TO have out-of-door bios
SONS from April TO November, by prop
er selection of varieties; but how few
there are among the multitude of flower
lovers in them that can attain such a
desirable condition of things. There
are so many that must and will have
flowers of some kind that have TO do
the best they can with the varieties
that drift into their possession; and
after they have nursed their petted
darlings into blossoming freely, how
often they sigh, some early fall morn
ing, to find them all blackened by the
frosty breath of single night, in spite
of the most careful covering.
Rufus Choate once said, speaking of
New England's climatic variations,
that they were sure of ninety days
corn weather." so we of the Northern
States are of our blooming season: but
most flower cultivators find il all too
brief, for without special advantages
but few can get their ANNALS and bed
ding-plants TO blooming freely before
the middle of July; and we all know to
our sorrow how often there are frosty
nights in the middle of September.
Experience Is n good teacher, if q
dear one; it often takes many failures
and hard knocks TO get any kind of an
idea into our heads: this occurred to
me this fall, after all the hard frosts
and fiirts of snow way into October,
while looking at my fiower-beds. For
the pink and purple verbenas, petunias,
red catch-hy, sweet alyssum, pansies,
and double chamomile were blooming
as brightly as if they had not been froZ
en- stiff so many times; and even the
first of November, one of the neighbors
had bed of purple ten weeks stocks
as brilliant as if summer skies were
smiling over them While looking at
them the idea struck me very forcibly
that by planting such hardy varieties
the blooming season might be extended
a month or more, which would be quite
a consideration to hower-lovers We
should find it hard to give up all our
tender beauties, and do not grudge them
their care; but the varieties named are
beautiful enough at any season TO salts
fy most people proven frost-proof quail
tiles are strong item in their favor.
OF course, TO have nice-looking bed
in the fall all the varieties in it should
be frost-proof, and to keep them In
blooming condition the withered flowers
may be clipped during summer; but
few minutes use of the scissors once a
week will be sufficient for that.-Port-
land Transcript.

The Deth's.Head Moth.

A short time before the outbreak of
the French Revolution there Appeared
III Europe large moth, bearing on
the back of its thorax hideous deaths
head 1t had been imported into
Europe with its native plant, the po-
tato.
1t was not long before it was found
that this ominous-looking insect de-
stroyed and devastated the hives of
bees, feeding on the honey it plum
dered from them. 1t swooped down
in the dead of night, making havoc of
the hive, and resistance was In vain as
the stiDgs of the bees could not pene-
trate the soft, downy covering of the
moth
The owners of bees tried various
means to prevent the onslaught of this
terrible enemy. but all in vain, and at
last the bees solved the problem them
selves.
They built wall of wax with loop
holes in it sufficiently large to allow
themselves to pass but not large
enough to admit their enemy.
In appearance the deaths head
moth is large and dark colored, with
yellow markings, and measures about
i've inches from tip to tip of its ex-
tended wings. On the thorax o;
middle portion of the body are pale
markings, representing hideous
deaths head, hence the name of the
insect.
The caterpillar is greenish yellow,
with black spots on the back and cross
lines of blue and white. 1t is our com
mon potato worm.
One of the strange characteristics of
this peculiar moth is plaintive, squeak.
ing sound which it emits, the mannU
of its production having as yet no sat
isfactory explanation.
On account of the piratical markings
on It's thorax, it has always been re-
garded with superstitiors dislike and
aversion.
In Mauritius a superstition prevails
that it sheds dust from its wings
that causes immediate blindness if it
falls upon person. For this reason,
when one of the moths enters habi-
tation a scene of CONSERVATION ensues.
The chrysalis is quite interesting,
somewhat resembling Jug in its
shape. The long handle is commonly
supposed to be the tail of the insect,
but is in reality the tongue-case. This
latter organ-the tongues of extra
ordinary length, to enable it to reach
after the honey in flowers having deep
corolla. A Madagascar species has a
tongue 81 inches in length.
The chrysalis is frequently found in
digging in the ground where potatoes
have been planted M. Eber-

"That may be true" i said in a tone
of gentle cast irony, shut when you
come West you lose that cool, culti-
waited look of refined vacuity which'we
of the East constantly dote on. We
do not like that in you. 1t is real

yourselves in the West. We Eastern
people resent your easy way of getting
acquainted with people on trains and
in public places and treating thsm hos
pitably. You shouldn't do that. You
ought TO be more coy until people
identify themselves. Don't you know
that a man with the slightest tinge of
intellect can get along first-rate So
cially if he will preserve an air OF
hauteur and reserve instead of your
off-hand bonhominy, as we say in dear

been reared so carefully that few
shocks would be fatal to me. Our
people were extremely refined and
high strung. Several of my ancestors
drove their own teams and hauled
freight from the depot. We are a
naughty race, and when irritated
would fight for our honor or anything
else that presented itself.
The Nyes extend back into the past
for hundreds of years. They have oc-
cupied every position of trust all over
the pages of the grocery history of their
country. We will not brook an af-
front, and the man who looks askance
at us may be found on the following
day carefully looking over his vitals,
removing sand from them, and trying
to replace them in their former posi-
ton on the program.
And so L was as pleased as a child
when l entered this rough Western
town, so far removed from the great
thought empo9ums and brain works of
the thinking and tidy East, and found
so much real merit, so much that we
are fond of in the East, yet hardly ex-
pect to find so far West, where every
thing is, 0 SO crude, and o y so coarse.
Among other things L brought my
paiamas with me, and finger-bowl. |
did not think L would find any finger
bowls out here, and L must have my
fingerbowl or l sicken and fade away.
There are some real good stores here.
and Eastern people who may be hest
tating about coming here because there
is no good place to trade need not hest
tate any longer.

Two million three hundred and
eighty-two thousand COWS were made

cold in death. His chest has large
hole in it and a big, big chip gives his
mouth a hard, set look. 1t is awful
