The other day ! casually asked a drug

lights which are now the universal signs
Of a drug store. The youth referred me

The enjoyment of particular kinds of
food Is after all a matter of custom,
and the African who revels in white
ants is no more peculiar in his tastes
than the European who eats cheese
mites. A lady whom NJ. Reaumur
knew was accustomed to devour spiders
as fast as she could catch them, and a
German lady gave it as her opinion
that these creatures resembled in taste
the most delicious nuts. A fellow coun-
tryman Of this lady was in the habit Of
regularly hunting spiders in his own
anG his friends houses. He used to
spread them on bread, Rozel tells us,
and vowed that they were far pleas
anter to the palate than butter. Corn

A neurological achievement in land
scape gardening is that of one of the
florists in charge Of the flora of the pub
lie parks ia Chicago.
The nowerbed is laid out on the
points OF the compass in the form Of a
huge semi circle. and foliage and flow
ers urc grown in it in such Il manner as
TO render it a perfect sun dial, or, as
the classical inventor expresses it,
soils clock. A slab Of stone Of proper
shape is set in the center of the dial
and casts the shadow by which the
time is read.
The idea is not strictly a novel one.
Sun dials composed Of growing flowers
and foliage have been made in Europe,
and it is not improbable that in the
days Of the greatest popularity of these
timepieces floral ones were of frequent
occurrence.-Jewelers Weekly

A SONG OF The SEA.

Watch the motion OF the ocean, Of the berry,
coated ocean, a. II DOTS a little white car
to each pebble on the beach:
Hear the rattle and the prattle Of the loving
wave words spoken, when the half reluct-
ant pebble c]lAtters down within its reach
How the cloudships float above 1t.
And the daring seagulls love il.
Who could fail to heed the lesson that these
foamy btllOws tcachT
Watch the motion Of the ocean, Of the cannon
Gdiug ocean, as each wave while hot with
anger leaps 20 stride the stopping cloud;
1.-THE looming and the booming Of each moving
WALL Of water, hurled against the walls OF
granite with an echo long and loud.
How the sCnEulls skim above it,
And the stormy petrels love It
When the wind rolls up those ~snOwdrifts with
such iron strength endowed
Watch tho motion OF the ocean, Of the ever
changing ocean, tossed by every transient
stormwind, RULED by a passing breeze;
Resting never, but forever in a ccaseless voice
repeating, day by day, the self same story
In such fancled words as these:
Praise Him, al ye heavens adore Him,
Let the earth bow down before Him;
On the floods He hath prepared It. founded il
upon the seas"

remarks, of being like Athanasius, against the
world. Or, il Lord Salisbury had expressed his
innermost thought, he might have added, either
Athanasius or Arius, against the world.
In the beginning of the historic controversy
over the creeds it was Athanasius against the
world, and in the end it was Arius. II Atha-
nasius had remained in his isolation, loyal alone
to truth while all the world was falling into
heresy, the creeds OF Christendom would have
been lost But he was as good politician as
he was theologian, and in the end he had the
world with and not against him. Then it was
Arius, and not Athanasius, against the world
And what are Englishmen in their sober senses
to think of the parallel which Lord Salisbury
has drawn? Mr. Golden fifty years ago. when
England adopted his economic views against the
opinion of the world and the practice OF modern
Governments, might have exclaimed " Atha-
nasus against the world" But when France
Germany, the United States and one colony after
another have reverted after periods OF Free Trade
to the old-time system of indirect taxation by
tariff legislation, and left England alone against
the world, the later-day parallel is in line with
Arius, who challenged accepted forms Of belief
and whose followers remained in the end de-
graded and uninhuential sect of apostates.
"Arius contra mundum' does not sound 50 WELL
but it is in closer accord with the fitness Of
