THE PATAGONIANS.

When b1rbarous lands are discov.
cred, they are named without consult
ing the wishes of the inhabitants. AS
an illustration, the land we call Pata-
gonia is not known by that name to
the natives. Their true name is Tsou-
ecas. and by it all the tribes call them
selves.
The word Pata-gon meaning
''duck footed men," refers to their
peculiar footgear. The lower limbs
are encssed in boots without soles, or
rather long CATERS, made of gusnaco-
skins, with the beautiful yellowish fur
turned outward. The leg is covered
all around from below the knee, the
fur passing over the top of the foot
around the heel, leaving the toes stick
ing ont.
This trifiIng circumstance obtained
the appellation by which a vast terri
tory and all the people who inhabit it
are known to the civilized world. The
flaps or "uppers" of the CATERS,
extending loosely across the top of
their feet, exaggerated in breadth by
the long hair on the edges, give the
wearers the appearance of having
paws.
When Nsgellsn's men first saw these
Indians, they were unable to account
for the peculiar appearance OF their
feet and the bright yellow fur upon
their legs, and called them "duck-
footed

afternoon. on entering the drawing
room, Bob found Mel y IN earnest con.
versation with a tall, bronzed stranger.
The two were so engrossed as not TO
notice his entrance, and for moment
a Jealous pang shot through Bob.
But his torture was of but short
duration, for, looking down, Nelly saw
the massive form of her fsvorite.
She stopped and caressed him, Just
as tende-ly as of old, then, lifting her
bright eyes to the tall stranger, she
said:

full of friendsi 1 want you to love him

And the ttl stranger smiled and muir.

he greeted Bob with the utmost friend.
hness. And Bob, though he felt q
little sore at Nelly's evident psrtislity
for ner new acquaintance, choked his
resentment and returned the salute in
his politest fashion.
And before long he came to look
upon the stranger really as a friend,
and even iorgave him for taking up SO
much of Nelly's time.
As for Nelly, her love for and
pride in Bob was every bit az strong
as il used to be, and indeed she had
reason to be proud of him, for, after
short absence from home, spent at
certain palace not a hundred miles
from London, Bob, had returned TO
the bosom of his family the dis
tingu:shed possessor of a "first prize"
the judges having unanimously de-
clare that he was the most perfect
bulldog IN the show.

Light CONS.

Electricity is useful to good ana
Oad alike. A large consignment in
gold eagles was sent to New York
bank from California, which on eX-
animation was found to contain
twenty lightweight coins; bearing
the date of 1891. These were appar-
emily new and bright, but they were
rejected on being passed into the elec.
trio light coin detector On being
examined with a lens their surfaces
were found to be covered with in
finitesimal pores. About one dollars
worth of gold had been extracted
from each eagle by electrolysis, which
is a process now in high favor among
coin sweaters" In the coin detect
or the coins are pushed in succession
from the balance pan on to knife
edge, and according as this knife edge
is at the right hand limit Of its range
or the left hand limit the coin when
pushed on it, tilts off to the s1ight"
channel or the ''full weight" channel,
as the case may be The right OF
left position OF this shifting knife
edge is determined by an electric con.
tact made by the balance beam, and
thus an electro magnet is brought
into action. The COINS run through
the machine at the rate of sixty per
minute by the turning Of handle.

TIE SPIDER AND THE WASP.

have no great sympathy with wasps
they've dom me SO many bad turns
in my time that l don't pretend TO re-
gard them as deserving of exceptional
pity-bnt L must say Eliza's way of
going at them was unduly barbaric.
She treated them for all the world az
if they were entirely devoid of
nervous system. She went at them
with sort of angry, half-con-
temptuous dash, kept cautiously out of
the way of the protruded sting, began
in most business-like fashion at the
head, and, rolling the wasp round and
round with her legs and feelers, swath-
ed him rapidly and effeclually, with
incredible speed, in a dense network
of web poured forth from her spin
nerets. In less than half a minute the
astonished wasp, accustomed rather TO
act on the offensive than the defensive,
found himself helplessIy inclosed in IL
perfect coil of tangled silk, which con-
lined him from head to sting without
the possibility OF movement in any di-
rection.
The whole time this had been going
on, the victim, struggling and writh-
Ing, had been pushing out its sting aud
doing the very best it knew to deal the
w'ly Eliza poisoned death blow.
But Eliza, taught by ancestral
experience, kept carefully out of
the way: aud the wasp felt itself
finally twirle round and ronnd in
those powerful hands, and tied about
as to its wings by thousand fold
cable. Sometimes, after the wasp WAS
secured, Eliza even took the trouble to
saw off the wings so as to prevent
further struggling and consequent dam
age to the precious web; but more
often she merely proceeded to eat it
alive without further fornality, still |
avoiding its sting ss long AS the crea.
ture had kick left in it, but othewise
entirely ignoring its character as
sentient being in the most inhuman
fashion. And all the time, till tue last
drop of his blood was sucked out, the
wasp would continue viciously to stick
out his deadly sting, which the spider
would still avoid with hereditary Gun
ming.

Feyp.ian Ho ;pita1tty.

The Egyptian of to-day may easily
oe surpassed in honesty. courage, ana
the manlier virtues; yet in hospital
ity and politeness he stands pre-eml-
nent. No Egyptian sits down TO
meal without asking all passers by
20 Iartake of it; during his thirty
days fast every year, his doors are
open to all, no introduction is needed;
to t. poor he gives ungrudgingly.
Though allowed to have four wives
the Effendi is almost always mono
gamist. Marrying early, he is, as
a rule, a good husband and father,
and fond of and kind to his children.
To show the direction in which the
ideas or marriage are setting, we may
say that one OF the first teachers in
MOhammedan law in Egypt some
time ago laid down this maxim, that
the Prophet has allowed four wives
to any man who would engage to love
all tour alike, but as he had never
met any one capable of doing so, he
would recommend one wife as the in
depreciation of the Prophets words.
Indeed, the relations OF the wife so
resent a mans marrying again, that
it is hardly ever done.
In abstinence from drinking to eA
cess the whole Egyptian nation stands
a head and shoulders above US. The
hospitality of the sheikhs or village
headmen is boundless, and takes the
shape of feasts at which Athe'.'ane
might have presided and Cedric been
entertained, and both found them.
selves at home.
We have seen men sit down to
banquet OF twenty-one heavy courses,
where a huge turkey was the seven
teenth course; and the first course
alone consisted of a whole sheep, in
side which was goose, inside that
chicken, then a pigeon, and finally an
egg, which last was presented to the

great satisfaction of a duel one of his

which the Egyptian chose clubs as the
weapon to fight with, and then dis

by a sudden blow before the duel had
properly begun. He actually could
