in offics on three different points.

A USE FOR THE FLEA,

Women Stake Money Upon His
Uncertain Movements,
According to Fanny Ward the wo-
men OF Chill have curious little game
OF chance which is played by putting
small piece OF raw beef on sheet of
Hy-paper and watching the Aeas
attack it. The player at the side of
the beef first reached by flea wins
the money. Minister Schuyler OBJ
served practice similar to this
among the natives OF Turkestan, the
difference being that the players
there made use of Jumps of sugar and
waited for the flies to alight on them.
An imaum, learned in the Jaw, told
Mr.. Schuyler that this gambling game,
still affected by New Orleans negroes,
was OF very ancient origin. Perhaps
the Vedic worshipers used to sprinkle
the sqcculent CHI on the ground and
watch the flies alight on it. Clearly
there is nothing new under the sun.
And speaking of the antiquity of
things. DR.. Phene, in recent lecture
before the British Society for the En-
couraggement of the Fine Arts, proved
conclusively, as it seemed, that the
legends of King Arthur and the Round
liable knights, instead of being a
peculiar property of Western Europe,
are really a. mere transcript from a
part of the voluminous OLD Rindoo
poem, the ''Mahabharata."
The likeness is so striking that some
OF Tennyson's Arthurian poetry, as
read by DR.. Phene along with extracts
from the Indian epic, seemed nothing
more than a free translation OF it.

ONE phase OF everyday life which is
not complimentary to mans good
sense is the frequency with which peo-
pie who are under most circumstances
good tempered exhibit temper when
their horse SHES or stumbles. The
poor beast may have been frightened
or, perhaps clumsy, but nine times
out OF ten he receives sharp stroke
OF the whip and a "yank" at the bits
which is not calculated to increased his
happiness. This exhibition of weak
ness on the part Of the driver is prob
ably the result in most cases Of nerv-
BUSINESS, provoked by the unexpected
and seemingly stupid conduct Of the
horse!
