Concerning the Snail.

The snail is found everywhere, 1882 spe-
cies being known, serving in France as an
important item of diet and in this country
an attractive inhabitant of the fernery
Some of the large tropical snails form nests
of leaves, their eggs being as large as q
pigeons. In the winter some of the snaik
hibernate, or lie dormant until warm
weather. Asnail of the Philippine Islands
has faculty of throwing off it's tail VIII en-
seized. This is also true of West Indian
variety -stenophus. Africa produces the
largest, the shell of the agate snail being
eight inches across, but Washington terri
tory, and possibly northern California,
produces an albino-a pure white snail,
known as helix fidelis, that is perhaps the
most striking

Mother Goose.

Mother Goose was no myth, as is COM
monty supposed, but an actual parsonage,
Mrs. Goose, who resided in Boston at the
beginning of the eighteenth century. One
of her daughters was married to printer
named Thomas Fleet The old lady had
an endless stock of old rhymes and jingles
in her memory, with which she was wont
to delight her grandchildren and all the
other little folks of the neighborhood.
Mr.. Fleet took up the idea that it might
be worth while to collect these ancient dit
ties and put them in permanent form for
the use of future generations. He there
fore brought out book, of which the earli-
est edition now known bears the following
title: "Songs for the Nursery; or, Mother
Goose's Melodies for Children. Printed by
7. Fleet at his printing house, Pudding
lane. Boston, 1719. Price, coppers.'' -
There is little doubt that this was the first
edition of the work, since the old records of
Boston give the date of the marriage of
Thomas Fleet and Elizabeth Goose as 1715,
says the Inter-Ocean.

Four Leaved Glover.

This plant derived it's significance from
the fact that its four leaves are arranged
in the form of cross. Moreover, its com
parative rarity and its very abnormality iii
may so express it) made it seem notewor-
thy or remarkable. If person shall wear
bit of this plant he can detect the pres.
ence of evil spirits. 1t also brings good
fortune.
With four leaved clover, a double leaved ash
and green topped seave [rush],
You may go before the queens daughter with
out asking her leave.
A two leaved clover enables a maid to
see her future lover. The four leaved grass
(true love, one berry, herb paris, or leop
ards bane) is another mystical cross leaved
plant concerning which much might be
said. The quaint St. Andrews cross Gas
cyrum crux-Andree) is very interesting
plant of our own country, with crosslikt
flowers. Strangely enough, it appears te
have no folk lore attached to it.

MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS LIBRARY.
POetical Works Played Conspicuous
Part in This Queens Collection.

Poetical Works Played Conspicuous
Part in This Queens Collection.
Mary Queen of Scots is probably the
only English Sixteenth century woman of
note who was noted for her love of fine
books-and she was less English than
French. Mr.. Julian Sharman has lately
written, and Mr.. Elliot Stock published,
an elaborate monograph on the library of
this unfortunate queen. Mr.. Sharman
sums up the early literary influences which
were at work in Mary's early life with
much tact and wisdom. She was-as our
author states-brought up in court where
poetry was the serious business of the hour.
The rival claims were those of Marot and
Ronsard
OF the greater models Petrarch was the
more studied and admired; while SO pune
tilious were the canons of literary judg-
ment that it was considered point of lese
majestic to countenance Dante, who, in an
unguarded mood, had portrayed Hugh
Capet as a damned soul and the son of a
butcher of Paris. Mary's library was
probably the most considerable that was at
the time in existence north of the Tweed.
At Edinburgh castle there were, in 1878,
146 books, and at Holyrood palace, in 1569,
there were ninety. Poetical works play a
conspicuous part, but the witty stories of
"Bocas" and the grave Consolation" of
"Boece" perhaps acted upon one another.
Books of Hours there were in plenty. But
the most interesting volume of all is un-
questionably Latin Hours, now in Rus
sia, in which there are very many auto
graph inscriptions, including English no
bility, such as Walsingham, Shrewsbury,
Sussex, Nottingham, Essex, Lennox, Bacon
and Lady Arabella Stuart
1t also contains some poetry by the queen
herself, besides, in her own handwriting,
two incriptions, "a moi, Marie, R." and
"Ce livre est a moi, Marie, Royne, 1854"
This book-than which we know of none
with so many tragic associations-was
picked up in Paris by gentleman who
was attached to the Russian embassy. The
prison companion of an unfortunate queen
of great beauty and uncommon intellectual
abilities, what great stories might be
founded upon this unique booki

The Curfew BELL.

For many a century there has been rung
in the ancient city of Sandwich, the old
Cinque port of Kent, the curfew bell,
which marked at one period so distinctive
feature of English life. The Church of
St. Peter has maintained this custom up
to the present day, but adverse fortune
now threatens to extinguish this honored
relic of past ages. A Sandwich paper says
that relations are somewhat strained be-
tween the rector and the sexton of st.
Peters, and as the fund from which the
latter was paid is now claimed by the
churchwardens the sexton is consequently
in the dilemma of having time honored
office without any salary. At the Easter
vestry his reelection was mooted, and he
thought it very hard, and naturally, too,
that he should have to work for nothing.
He inquired if in the event of his giving
up the Office the rector would have power
to prevent him from carrying out his duties
as ringer of the curfew bell, but no one
could inform him.

Count Mo1tke and the Ladies.

A pretty little story was told of Count
Moltke and deputation of ladies who
came to congratulate him on his ninetieth
birthday. He had received them very ami
cably, and talked to them for some time in
his quiet, pleasant way, when, referring to
all the good wishes that had beenshowered
upon him, he said, II am almost sorry, on
noticing all this affection, that am not a
young man again" "How old would you
like to be, sir?" asked one of the ladies.
''Well," replied the nonagenarian, and
smiled, ''if 1 could only be eighty once
more.'
