At Rio | met with very common
inhabitant of the tropics, huge cat
erpillar who built himself a sort OF
crinoline of sticks, and then covered
it with thick web. This dwelling
he carried about with him as o snail
carries her shell, spinning an out
work of web around the twig of a
pet tree, by which his house hung,
leaving him free to put out three
joints of his head and neck and eat
up all the leaves and flowers within
reach. When the branches are bare
he spins a bit more web on higher
twig, bites through the old one, jerks
his whole establishment up stairs,
and begins eating again,
He had a kind of elastic portico to
his house, which closed over his
head at the slightest noise, the house
shutting up like telescope, and then
when all was quiet again out came
his head, down dropped the building
and the gourmand again set himself
to his task of continual feasting. AT
last came the sleep of the chrysalid,
and he finally became poor, dowdy
moth. Miss North's "Recollections. "

A naturalist, who is both an ar
dent student in his branch Of science
and absentminded to degree which
keeps his family on the alert, recent
ly celebrated his silver wedding.
Many guests were invited for the oc-
casion, and the house was made
ready for the reception of the com
pany. Just as the first guest arrived
one of the daughters was sent to
summon the father, who had not
come from his study. Care had
been taken that he should be remind
ed to dress in time, SO he was all
ready, and at the summons of the
daughter he came into the parlor.
When they reached the room the
daughter noticed that her father car
ried in his hand a small wooden box,
and as he shook hands with the near
est guest she saw him drop it. The
cover rolled off, but she gave sigh
of relief when she saw that the box
was apparently empty. The natu-
ralist, however, uttered a cry of dis
may, and instantly went down on
his hands and knees in an attempt
to gather up something. Have you
spilled anything, fathers" she asked.
Spilled anything" he echoed, in
evident indignation at her calm
tone II have lost fifty fleas that l
have just receiyed from Egypt"
The effect of this intelligence on
the family was nothing in compari-
son to the effect the catastrophe had
upon the company before the even
ing was over, and the only thing
that the naturalist said to his friends
in answer to their congratulations
upon his happy married life, so his
daughters declared after all was
over, was to ask if they carried
away any of his Egyptian tleas they
would return the insects to him.

Too Much.

He had trundled weighty triplets when his
wife was wrapped in slumber;
He had got up every morning and had built
the kitchen fire;
He had pounded on her carpets and had sawed
up cords of lumber,
And had stretched with endless patience
several miles of stiff clothes wire.
He had sworn of on his smoking just to help
her ON her missions,
And had matched whole coils of ribbons,
with no thought of the disgrace;
He had eaten several samples at her cooking
exhibitions,
With moaning in his stomach and a smile
upon his face.
He had borne the shirts she made him, and
his courage neer forsook him;
He had stood the socks she darned him,
though the agony was keen;
He had worn her colored neckties, though his
dearest friends all shook him,
And the clothes that she selected he dis
played with humble mien.
But when one night she showed him some
pajamas she had made him
And informed him she expected that In them
he would abide,
He quailed before this torture and the thought
of 1t dismayed him,
And he gave one look remorseful and he laid
right down and died.

Wilhelm Schmidt, living four miles
south of Couneaut, o., has become
ore of the most remarkable freaks
outside of the museums He has
been in this country thirty four
years, but is unable and unwilling to
speak a word of English, living with
his wife and daughter on an isolated
little farm that yields corn and po-
tatoes enough for the trio. A visitor
from curiosity called on the old man,
and thus describes what he saw:
What proved to be Schmidt sat in
an armchair in the center of the one
roomed house. Only a huge mound
of hair surmounting his shoulders
was visible-not a human feature to
be seen. Schmidt propped his cane
against his chair, and with both
hands pulled this shock of hair open,
showing his face, which was bleached
and uncanny looking, like vegetables
grown under cover. Only for min
ute was the OLD mans face to be seen,
for he dropped the curtain of hair
back over 1T, saying In German that
he did not like the light and could
not endure it,
The great mass of hair fell as
thickly over his face in front as over
the back of his head Schmidt has
worn his hair as hiding place for
his head and face for eighteen years
and steadfastly refuses to have it
cut. His eyesight has been prac-
tically destroyed by having the light
shut from it SO long.--Cor. Pitts

READING and the Use Of Books.


But there are thousands of young men
and women, graduates of the highest
schools, who have never received the train
ing necessary to make them good readers,
and who are asking for advice and direc-
ton in this very matter. Look into the
evening high schools in any of our great
cities and you will find hundreds OF men
and women from the shops and benches,
bending over their books, anxious to know
more of English and English literature. II
Is pathetic sight, those eager faces
those tired bodies and the God bless the
good old City never comes more heartily
than when one thinks Of what she is trying
10 do for these ard-working toilers in the
shops.
Among all these, whether they are grad
yates of our schools, or laborers in inferior
positions, are many who are asking what
they may do to gain a foothold upon thai
higher plane which opens to those who are
intelligent readers of books. The careful
training of the schools they cannot have
but books they can get. and. with little OF
no help. they may do much to gain the end
they wish TO reach.
/. Let the first book be carefully chosen
if possible, with the advice of some one
capable of give that which is good.
2 Read the book slowly. using the die
tionary to help with the difficult words, and
the encyclopedia TO explain the reference,
that may not otherwise be understood.

aside. because the full enjoyment of read
ing will not come until the dictionary ano

Among the interesting papers read at the
meeting of the Maine Historical Society IN
Portland on Friday last. was one by Rev.
II. y. Thayer of Liming,on, as to the loea-
ton and historic Importance of ancient
Cork on the kennehec. At the close OF
Queen Anne's war, settlements were made
ON the banks of the Sagadahoc.
In lTi3 settlement was made
on the island of trrowsic by the Clark and
Lake heirs. They also formed II settle
ment on the shore of Merrymeeting bay,
called Cork. Capt. Robert Temple was the
agent of Col. Edward Hutchinson one of
the proprie,ors who brought in some hum
dreds of people from Ireland. The loca-
tion of Cork has been long misunderstood.
Hitherto il has been supposed to be in
North Bath. BY citations from documents.
Mr.. Thayer undertook to show that
il was in the "chops Of Merrymeeting
bay extending up the river three

until 1908. when the heirs of Lewis COM
menced cutting il up into homestead lots and
selling il. We must, therefore, conclude
that the northern limit Of Cork was Eastern
river, its southern Temple Bar,or the chops
of tho hay. 1t would now lie about half
anil half in Dresden and Woolwich. The
settlement began in l7le. The Indians
made trouble for them the mex, year. AMI
