Habits of the saIamander.

Considerable ignorance exists, even among
persons of education, as to the habits of the
Salamander. The mere mention of this harm
less little batrachian recalls to the minds of
most people mystic ideas with respect to fire
eating and fire inhabiting creatures, which
have probably caused many of the poor lit
tie brutes to be burned by experimental phi
losophers who should have been far above be-
lief in such absurdities The spotted sala-
mander is lamp black, with numerous large
yellow spots and stripes, and is very COM
mon all over southern Europe as well as in
northern Africa. 1t haunts all manner of
dark and cool places, such as cavities under
logs of wood and holes in old walls, where
they can find a supply of insects worms or
slugs
1t is an interesting sight to watch the sala-
mander when about to make meal of a
worm. For few minutes it remains almost
motionless, with its large black eyes turned
down upon the victim Then, with marvel
Gus rapidity it pounces down upon the worm
and seizes it by the middle; the extremities
are left twisting violently around the muzzle
1t then pushes the worm piece by piece down
its throat, by means of its clawless and nail
less forepaws. All the salamander's move
ments are performed with such absurd solem-
nifty that the most hardened reptile hater
could not be uninterested. Sometimes the
simple operation of swallowing large worm
will last fully twenty minutes.

Now try if the two sides of the kite are
equally balanced, for if they are not the kite
will never fly properly. This is ascertained
by balancing the kite frame horizontally on
the forefnger If one side is heavier than
the other, it will overbalance and the heavier
side hang towards the ground Now fasten a
string to point a and pass it to c, thence to
F, to D, and SO back to A, fastening it well to
the lath at each point of contact. Another
string from D to c will further strengthen
the kite, the skeleton of which is complete,
with the exception of two holes, G G, to be
carefully drilled in the back bone, for the
string by which the kite is to be flown.
For covering the kite, paste sheets of paper
together, until you have a surface equal in
extent to the kite Lay the skeleton Of the
kite upon the paper, and cut the latter to the
shape of the kite, taking care to leave good
margin all round, which is to be turned over,
and securely pasted. Take care not to fasten
the string by which you fly the kite too low
ON its surface, or the kite will pitch" in
stead of flying steadily. The tail of the kite
should be from ten to fifteen times the length
of the kite itself, and the paper and tassel of
which it consists should be Of sufficient
weight to balance the kite steadily in the air.
In the more elaborate kites, made of calico or
stuff, the tail sometimes consists of a number
of small bags of sugar loaf shape, opening
upwards, which catch the wind as the kite
flies, and thus balance it.

His Complexion Was Against Him.

HadG HasSein Ghooly Khan, envoy extra
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary from
Persia, is one of the favoritGs in Washington
society, and he is very fond OF going out and
calling on the ladies, and is always most hos
pitably received wherever he goes. That is,
almost always, for an experience he had last
Sunday afternoon proved that he was not as
cordially received at one house as has been
his won't in the past Ghooly Khan started
out with the purpose of making a round of
calls. 1t is his custom to pay his respects to
the ladies of the fashionable world on Sunday
the same as on week days. Sunday being an
extremely pleasant day, his landau was not
brought into use. He walked from his resi-
dence on NJ street to Massachusetts, avenue,
in the neighborhood of Fourteenth street,
where the objects of his first call resided.
Walking up the stone steps in an indolent
fashion, he reached the door and rather tim
idly touched the electric bell After linger-
ing some moments the servant appeared, and
before Ghooly Khan could utter word she
shouted out: 1.-The ladies are all busy and
cannot be bothered with you now"
"Well," said the minister, completely non
plused, ''there must be mistake; take in my
card"
"Oh! don't worry them now" answered
the servant, not allowing him to finish his
sentence ''They are all about going to din
ner and don't care for any one to see them at
this time-you'd better come again in the
morning; and the side door is always the
handiest place for such as yez to call"
The minister waited for no more. The re-
buff he had received at the hands Of the I'M
ruly servant completely paralyzed him. He
made no more calls that day, and had about
concluded that he had had a sufficient dose Of
American society.
The ladies of the house soon learned Of the
horrible" manner in which their distin-
guished caller had been received, and they
at once made heroic and happily successful
efforts to have the affair settled on basis
satisfactory not only to themselves but to
the distinguished envoy from Teheran.-New
York Tribune.

In our opinion every boy ought to be able
to make kite for himself, instead of depend

constructive skill among our readers, we
give them some directions on which they can
rely.
Procure from the carpenter strip Of thin
light lath, of the length you desire your kite
to be- This is TO form the back bone of the
kite. and is marked A in the diagram. The
cross piece, c C, D D, consists of piece of
split cane, or osier wood, and should be about
two-thirds the length of the back bone Fas-
ten this cross piece exactly by the center to
the back bone A, an inch or two from the top
Tor across the top, if you prefer your kite
without an upper point. Make mick"
with a knife at the point c and D of the cross
piece, and pass string across the point B to
c and D, fastening it tightly. Here you will
have the rude outline of your kite

Philology teaches US that names were not

Among EXPLANATIONS in common use HAL
loop' and "HurrahI" have curious origins
attributed to them. 1t is said by the author
of the Queens English" that the people of
Carnwood forest, Leicestershtre, when they
desire to hail person at distance call out
not "hallooI" but "halloupl" This he mag
ines is q survival of the times when one cried
to another, "a loup! a loupI" or as we would
now say, "WolfI wolff" "HurrahI" again,
according to NJ. Littre, is derived from the

FILTHY BrYnyD c1yCEv-T

In one of the rooms a part Gf tie rude par
titiOn had been removed, leaving the door
entact in its frame, bXt no wall beyond it,
aud our hostess explained the deficit by
saying that the boards had been recently
taken down to make a coffin for his father
in-law.
Before leaving the valley, we made a
search for the old mission bells, which now
hang from q cross-beam in the open field,
their rusty tongues forever mute. The
images that once adorned the ruined
churcO are no kept in near
by farm house - but such course
and tawdry caricatures are they
that not even the memory of the long
dead friars who prayed before them can
induce one to regard them with reverence.
Near the ruins of the church is an olive
grove of great age and beauty, while grow
ing all around it are peaches and pome-
GRANTEES, apples and date palms, pears,
plums and apricOts. Vineyards adioin the
grove, Clumps of wild bamboo cluster
around the adobes, and impen-
etrable thickets of prickley pear
cactus follow all the hill-surves
to the mountains base. Springs Of
warm sulphur water issue from the mesa
on which the ruins stand, and mingle with
the acequias or irrigating bitches.
As we paused near the schOolhouse, the
teacher "a queer little old man with arms
not larger than year-old baby, one of a
native family who are all thus siugularly
deformed), came out and politely invited
US to enter. According to the univer-
sal custom in Mexican schools, the
children were all studying aloud
shouting their lessons in sing-song chorus,
producing a Babel most confusing, while
several canaries, in cane cages, added their
shrill voices to the general hubbub. [
noticed, with surprise, that several loaded
muskets were ranged against the wall
but whether kept for possible visitors in
the shapes OF snakes and coyotes, or used
by the baby-armed pedagogue in enforcing
discipline, l am unable to tell you.

eight it VIII remain until the 18th OF July,
1890. North and South Dakota, Montana
and Washington have not yet been admitted
as states into the Union, and, consequently,
they are not yet entitled to representation on
the flag. They have only been authorized by
law to prepare for admission Their peoples
have first to electdelegates to constitu-
tional conventions. These conventions
must prepare state constitutions and these
constitutions must be submitted to the
vote of the people and state officers elect

fed by the popular vote the president is re-
quired to issue a proclamation announcing
the fact, and then, and then only, will North

become states of the Union. The four stars,
however, will not be added to the flag until
the fourth day of July next succeeding, such
being the provision of the general statutes of

In the Catslills and other parts of New
York state curious industry consists in con
verting beech trees into wood flour. A whole
trunk is stripped of its bark, put into huge
mechanism, which is practically a pencil
sharpener on vast scale, and cut into miles
OF the finest ribbons. These are.thrown into
a mill and converted into wood meal or wood
flour. This is used, it is said, for making
paper, although the farmers hint that it is
taken west by government contractors to
feed the Indians and supply our army with
daily bread. In very dry summer weather
this dust fills the air of the mill and is often
explosive. Twice there have been accidents
of the kind In this industry.
