You would scarcely suppose thatsuch
things as tarantulas, centipedes and
ella monsters had a market value, yet
they are quoted rs regularly by curl
osity dealers as feather work, grasses,
etc. People collect everything, and
there is always a demand for the ami
mails and reptiles named. A good
specimen of the tarantula or centipede,
alive or mounted, brings 81. Live
specimens are sent in boxes, only by
express, as they are not allowed to go
by mail. Stuffed specimens are or
dered for collection, but / cannot
imagine why the live ones are wanted.
Quite a trade is done Inv them, how
ever, through the curiosity shops of
the country, which order from the
stores in Mexico or on the border.
What is more surprising is the sale
that exists for ella monsters. Zoolog-
ical gardens want them, of course, but
there arc private parties who also or
der them. Fine specimens bring from
So to $40. They come from Arizona,
where the Indians collect them for the
dealers. This is tho most repulsive
looking reptile TO be found in any part
of the world. ST. Louis Globe-Demo-

John h. Leoni, a young sculptor,
whose parents are supposed TO reside in
Jersey City, who for some time has been
an inmate of an asylum, escaped from
his keepers some time ago and wandered
to Burlington, N. j., where n lively in,
terest was taken in him. He was found
roaming aimlessly around tho streets,
and, pending the result of inquiries rs
to his identity, was placed in the city
Jail.
Shortly after his incarceration Leoni
obtained possession of n piece of soap
and proceeded to astonish the jailers.
With his finger nails he d~cxterously be
gan carving the soap and gradually it
assumed human shape. When through
his labor Leoni had produced n model of
n n Alpine huntsman. The figure, which
is now in possession of Mayor .Silpath, is
about seven inches in height. The right
arm is outstretched, the hand encircling
tho neck of n duck, which is as care
fully reproduced as the figure of the
hunter. The left hand hangs by the
side, holding n shotgun. At the feet of
the hunter lies the figure of "A retriever,
wistfully gazing at the game his master
holds aloft.
Leoni is said to have a brother in this
city who is IN engraver.-New York
Press.

One of the best opportunities for n
young fellow to make money quickly
in these days" said a self made mill
ionaire of this city recently, sis to
rack his brains until he has invented
something useful or that the public
wants. A general impression prevails
that it takes n skilled engineer or a man
of phenomenal inventive ability to de-
velop anything useful to manufac-
turers in this age of machin-
cry. But there is n wide field
open to shrewd amateurs, so TO
speak, to supply little articles of con-
venience to housekeepers, shopkeepers,
etc, and designers can be had at rea-
sonable rates to execute the idea onceit
is conceived. American women are SO
accustomed to getting what they want
that anything which lightens their
labors in the household is sure to GO
When l was q boy on the. farm at
home my mother used to make me
clean all the dinner knives on Sun
day with bath brick. Now, scraping
this brick into q fine powder without
Jumps in it, used to be the most tedious
part of the whole work. The other
day l heard of q man who has made a
fortune by supplying the trade with
powdered bath bricks In neat packages.
You know how difficult it is to pick
up small coins from a wooden oun
ter. Yet the whole civilized world has
growled at and endured it since coins
were stamped and counters made, I'M
til the other day o young fellow in
vented n rubber mat with little bris-
ties of rubber standing up thickly all
V it. Coins thrown on the mat are
as easily picked up as if they stood on
edge. The public was quick to ap-
preciate it and the inventor need not
work for living any longer.-New

Many or Few.

There is no cheerfulness in the
world comparable to that afforded
by the daily life Of a large family.
There may be an equal amount OF hap
piness in a small family, there may
be a depth of bliss where only two
r together of which the life lived by
ten or a dozel could afford no idea
but for the cheer of varied interests,
Of lively voices, OF going and coming,
Of song and laughter, Of moving fig
ures, of the sense of action and life,
what al be desired better than a fam
lily where father and mother and
grandmother, aunts and children,
made the round dozen1 In a small
family it is difficult to keep up the
wide interest in people and neighbor-
hood which does a great deal to pro-
mote cheerfulness; it is difficult to
keep up such interest in more than n
very few, from the mere want of time,
from the difficulty of getting about,
and the im~possibility of being in more
than IL place at n time, if from no
other reason. But where there are a
number Of people under the roof, that
answers every purpose, as each one
bringing in keen feeling for the af-
fairs of several other, the whole to-
gether maintain n wide and deep con-
nection from which cheerfulness is
precipitated like n salt from its COM
ponent gnses. But, apart from the
cheer derived from intercourse and re
lationship with the outside multitude
by means of a large family's varied nc
quaintance, comes that derived from
other sources in consequence Of our
full circle.
This member of the large household
Is the one devoted to charity all the
rest do n great deal of vicarious char
ity, as we may call it, through that
channel, and feel content with satis-
fled consciences in a sense of duty
done, which sense, whether it con-
tributes TO virtue or not, does, at any
rate, TO cheerfulness, and it Is cheer
fulness of which we are speaking.
This other member is the student Of
science, and out of the chance con-
versation, the books, plates, expert
ments, and experiences of this in
dividual the rest hive a sufficient
amount of scientific honey for their
uses, and are enriched with learn
ing without the least exertion of their
own, receiving 1t, as it were, through
ILio POTcS. 1neSe OLIefS, again, 10 the
gay society business; and those of the
remainder who sc quietly inclined go
to all the routes and drives and sails
in tho gay ones enjoyment, see what
the bellies wear and how the beaux be-
have, and never have to leave their
tranquil corner at all. And this last
one, with scraps of singing and scraps
of piano playing, and mornings of
practicing and evenings of mirth,
YIELDS everything together in a sort
OF perpetual ringing of joy bells. In
short in a large family the whole
world comes to every member of it,
and in a small family only a narrow
segment of 1t can come.-Harper's Ba-
gar.

Sunday night, while the snow and
wind storm was at its height, a Bin
man street lady was awakened by q
buzzing sound in her ears, and was
startled by a far off voice repeating in
melodious tones: wake upl" Get
up" The lady obeyed the strange
summons, and was terribly frightened
on discovering that the house was on
fire. The SCOT in the old fashioned fire
place in the kitchen, which was over
a foot deep, was burning, and the
flames were shooting out through the
tireboard. The lady soon aroused the
household and the fire was extin-
guished before any serious damage
was done. Thatthe warning was given
no one who knows the lady will
doubt, and but for the warning it is
probable hat the house and some
of the occupants would have been
burued.-New London Telegraph.

One Of the most interesting features of
u country houses is the secret hiding
place. This generally has been contrived
with much architectural skill, and in
days gone by baflled discovery from the
most observant and experienced eye. In
certain cases it would appear that, for
some reason or other, the hiding place
has been specially kept n secret among
members of the family. Thus, in the
north of England, may be mentioned
Nctherhall, e Maryport, Cumberland,
the scat of the old family of Senhouse.
In this time honored mansion there is
said to be areal secret chamber, its exact
position being only known totwop persons
the heir-in-law and the family solicitor.
According to the popular tradition the
secret of the hidden room has never been
revealed to more thar two living persons
ut n time! This mysterious room has no
window, and, despite every endeavor to
discover it, has, it is said, defied the in
genuity of every visitor staying in the
house. With this secret chamber NAV
be compared the one at Glamis, the lat
ter possessing a window, but which has
not led to the Identification of the mys-
FERROUS room.-Livcrpool Courier.

For some time it has been known
that dust, as well as fine particles of
commingled water vapor and carbon,
which make up the London fogs, can
be removed from the atmosphere by
means of a brush discharge from an
electric engine. 1t is now seriously
proposed to make use Of this interest
ing principle in removing the flour
dust from mills, in which experience
shows that explosions are likely to oc-
cur, to the clearing of tunnels from
smoke, and even to the diminution,
IL not the removal, of those curious
and destructive fogs which affect
cities where bituminous coal is used in
largo quantities.
Although this method of condensing
dust and smoke is doubtless practicable
on a small scale it does not seem likely
that it can be used in an effective way
to combat the evil out of doors.
Nevertheless, 1t is interesting as one of
the many varied practical experiments
and suggestions which have been
brought before us by the marvellous
progress of electrical invention.-Bos-
ton Herald.
