The Storks in Holland.

Everyone knows that the stork is al
most superstitiously beloved by the peas
ants of northern Germany and the low
countries, and that iron supports upon
which he may build his nest are SET OH
cottage gables in the belief that where
stork has his brood fire will never
come. Nevertheless, travellers are often
surprised when they see how tame the
great birds become, following the agri-
cuIturist through field and furrow, and
often sleeping on one tall red leg close
to where he is ut work, and within sound
of the rumble of the passing railroad
train. So fond is the Dutchman of
having storks about him, indeed, that ne
makes provision for its nests even in the
centre of his bulb-felds. Here one NAV
often see slender poles some twenty or
thirty feet in length, supported by
braces, and bearing at the top small
round platform similarly strengthened.
On these the storlis build their nests,
and here they perch, like scntincls, pro.
tecting the beautiful crops.

A Long Matt for Pic.

Here is good story from Marshall P.
Wiider's book, "Peopic Eve Smiled
With Buck Taylor, one of Bills Wild
West Company, was immensely popular
over in England, aud Bill told story
about him appropos of the traditional
fondness for pic. Buck is very fond of
pie. Bill took Buck to breakfast with
him one morning in Chicago. They were
at one of the best hotels i'll the city, and
Buck, after eating his breakfast, said to
the waiter: "Now, bring me some pic. +"
The waiter was girl, and she almost
shook the beautiful crimps off her fore
head rs she tossed her head and replied
contemptuously: "Wc don't have pie for
breakfast" "Oh, is that so?" said Buck;
"weli, when do you have it?" "At din
ner, SIR" "Wcll, when is dinner?"
"Twclvc o'clock, sir" "All right, F." said
he; 81 guess I'll stay here and wait for
it," And there at that table sat Buck
Taylor, solitary and alone, from the time
that the breakfast dishes were cleared
away until dinner was served. After
Bill told this story Buck Taylor never
again lacked pie for breakfast, luncheon,
dinner and afternoon lunch, supper or
midnight meal, SO long as lie was in
england.

The valley of Coele-Syria is fertile
plain and produces grain and corn. But
the wonder is that it should produce ut

and no effort is ever made to enrich il.

years ago are still in use A crooked
stick still serves for pillow and simply
scratches the surface. l saw the thresh-
ing floors. The grain is threshed out by
oxen treading upon it and dragging
wooden sleds furnished with Sharp stones
and pieces of glass Oh the under side to
cut up the stalks. The grain, then scpa-
rated from the chaff by sleeves and pitch
forks, is taken to the water and carefully
washed. All along our route, at the
threshing fields rs far south MS the ancient
.Iczrecl, in Samaria, we saw the Turkish
tax gathcrer, or the representative of the
money-lendcr, presiding over the process
and separating the product in portions,
leaving to the fellahccn or farmer the
smaller share. Twenty-Five per cent. is
the usual rate Of interest, and most Of
the farmers have become reduced to n
condition of serfdom. There are herds
Of black cattle in the valley and large
flocks of goats and sheep, which affiliate
easily together. The sheep have bulky,
fatty appcndagc at the tail. The black
sheep in this land are numerous brother
hood. The old conundrum, "Why do
white sheep cat more than black?" and
its answer, "Bccause there are more OF
them," did not start in Syria, for the
black are often in the majority. Tn one
large flock saw only three white spcci-
mems, and it was rather out OF courtesy
that we called one of these white. The
goats are an unnitigatcd nuisance. They
prevent the growth OF trees, which but
for them and the oppression OF the Turks,
who are about as bad, would again cover
the mountains, which are now bare.
Napoleon said you will have to kill off
the goats before trees will grow on the

Arsenic Conceals Suicilc.

elf man wishes to commit suicide,
and desires that his friends have no
knowledge of it, let him take arsenic, lit
tie by little, gradually increasing the
doses" said physician, yesterday.
''There is absolutely no way of knowing
that death did not ensue from some M.
tural cause. For instance, the symptoms
of cholera morbus are very similar to those
of arsenical poison. The victim becomes
bloated Ill either case. His skin also of
ten changes color from cholera morbus,
as we'll as from poisoning by arsenic.
There are many instances where death
from arsenical poisoning has been assigned
to cholera morbus. In the Abbot West
murder, it was sometime before the fact
was established that the victim had died
from violent means, instead of from
cholera morbus, as the physician who
made out the certificate stubbornly in
sisted. Had the parties been well known
in the city, it is very probable that no in
vestigation would have been made OH ac-
count of the physicians positive state
mcnts. The victim was Systematically
dosed with arsenic, the first dose being.
perfectly harmless, but as it was repeated
day after day. and the size of the dozc
increased, the system soon became i'm
pregnated with the deadly drug, and
death eventually resulted. n-iSt. Louis

Russian Tea.

The tea generally drunk in Russia is
taken without milk, and is of a very light
color, very strong, and full-havored.
the best class of tea found in Russia i6
that imported overland from China, and
is usually pronounced by those who have
tasted it as superior to any ter in the
world. The reason for this state of
things is primarily, no doubt, the fact
that the overland journey to Russia is so
expensive that only tea of really first-ratc
quality can be profitably sent by this
route. Then, again, the best China tea
is grown inland, and too far removed
from the coast to find its way readily to
the export harbors. Its easiest outlet is
the caravan routc.-Ayyonant.
