A Peculiar Inn.

The only subsidized inn, perhaps, is on
the Island of Capri. Mine host, grateful
for the long continued patronage of artists,
who are the chief foreign residents of the
island, and knowing that they are far from
rich, left the inn to his heirs with these Gu
rious conditions annexed: The charge per
day, two bottles of red Capri wine included,
is never to be more than six francs; if any
artist is too poor to pay so much he shall
pay what he can and paint picture upon
some wall space, receiving all the accom-
modations accorded to those paying the
highest price; if any German artist who
has failed as a student of art in Italy shall
come to the inn he shall be accommodated,
and shall receive the amount of his fare TO
Germany upon his promise never to return
to Italy. The provisions of the will seem
to have been carried OFT faithfully. for the
prices are moderate, the red wine is always
outainable, and the walls Of the inn are
covered with paintings. the vorl. Of iHIpe

Beliefs About the Rainbow.

In many countries the rainbow is spoken
Of as being great bent pump or siphoa
tube, drawing water from the earth By
mechanical means. In parts o! Russia, In
the Don country, and also in Moscow ard
vicinity it is known 10y name which =
equivalent To the bent water pipe In
nearly all the Slavonic dialects it is known
by terms signifying the clc,,d s!phou,"
and in Hungary it is ''the pump" Noah >
pump" and Gods pump" The M4iayan
natives call it by the same name that they
do their banded water cobra tneche;aj,
only that they add ''bobc" tnlcaniaG dou-
BILE headed), the equivalent in our Ian
guage being the double headed water
snake" They tell you that the bow is a
real thing of life, that it drinks with its
two mouths and that the water Is trans
ferred to the clouds through m opening ia
the upper side of the center Of the great
arch.
In the province of Charkoy, Russia, the
rainbow is said to drain the wells, and to
prevent this many are provided WITH
heavy, tight fitting stone platforms. In
the province of Saratoy the bow is said to
be under the control of three angels, one Of
whom pumps the water. the second
feeds" the clouds and the third sends the
rain.-St. Louis Republic.

Preaching Monkeys,

The author of "The History of Brazil
tells of species of monkey called preach
ers" Every morning and evening these mon
keys assemble in the woods. One takes a
higher position than the rest, and n..'les a
signal with his fore paw. At this signal the
others sit around him and listen. When
they are all seated he begins to utter a
series of sounds. When he stops these
cries he makes another signal with his
paw, and the others cry out until he makes
third signal, upon which they become
silent again. This author, Mr. Maregrove,
asserts that he was a witness to these
preachings, but no other traveller has con-
firmed the statement.

THE LAND or usED-To-se.

Beyond the purple. hazy trees
Of summers utmost boundaries;
Beyond the sands. beyond the seas,
Beyond the range of eyes like these,
And only in the reach of the
Enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies the land long lost to me,
The land of Used-to-be.
land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas when sirens chung
Along their dripping Drinks, and sung
70 Jason in that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody.
o such land, with such a sea
Kissing its shores eternally,
Is the fair Used-to-be.
land where music ever girds
The air with bells of singing birds,
And sows all sounds with such sweet wor3e
That even in the lowing herds
meaning lives so sweet to me.
Lost laughter ripples limpidly
From lips brimmed DER with all the glee
OF rare old Used-to-be.
o land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and shady spots,
OF coolest, greenest, grassy plots
Embossed with wild forgetmenots,
And all the blooms that cunningly
Lift their faces up TO me
Out OF tire past; kiss in thee
The lips of Used-to-be.
! love ye all and with wet eyes
Turned z Hmeringly on the skies,
My blessings ike your perfumes rise
Till DER nay soul silence lies.
Swee1er han any song 10 nc,
Swecter than any melody.
Or its sweet echo; yea. all three,
My dreams OF Used-to-be.

Long Life I'm England.

1t is estimated that 80 per cent of those
who start in business fail, March being
considered the blacklist month for bust
ness. Yet as setoff to this discomfort
ing intelligence it is affirmed that the
average duration of life is considerably
longer in England than in France, for ex-
ample. Is this because nearly three times
as much meat is eaten by us than by the
