A Naturalist's Fleas,

A naturalist, who is both an ardent
student in his branch of science, and
absent-minded to degree which keeps
his family on the alert, recently cele-
brated his silver wedding. Many guests
were invited for the occasion, and the
house was made ready for the reception
of the company.
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 reminded to dress in time, so
he was all ready, and at the summons
Of the daughter he came TO the parlor.
When they entered the room the
daughter noticed that her father carried
in his hand small wooden box, and as
he shook hands with the nearest guest
she saw him drop it. The cover rolled
of. but she gave sigh of relief when
she saw that the box was apparently
empty.
The naturalist, however, uttered a cry
of dismay, and instantly went down on
his hands and knees in a vain attempt
to gather up something.
Have you spilled anything, father ?"
she asked.
Spilled anythingr' he echoed, in
evident indignation over her calm tone.
Il have lost fifty fees that have just
received from Egypt !!
The effect of this intelligence on the
family was nothing in comparison to
the effect the catastrophe had upon the
company before the evening was over,
and the only thing that the naturalist
said to his friends in answer to their
congratulations upon his happy mar
ried life, so his daughter declared af-
ter all was over, was to ask that if
they carried away any of his Egyptian
fees they would return the insects to

Invention of the Post-onice.

The invention of the post-office is as
cribed to Cyrus, King of Persia, who
lived about 600 B. G.
Cyrus required all of his governors of
provinces and chief commanders of
troops to write to him exact accounts
of everything that occurred in their sew
eral districts and armies.
The Persian empire was of vast ex-
tent, and some means had to be provided
to render that correspondence sure and
expeditions. Cyrus therefore caused
post Offices to be built and messengers
appointed in every province. He found
how far good horse, with an expert
enced rider, could travel in day with
out being hurt, and then had stables
built in proportion at equal distances
from each other. At each of these
places he also appointed post-masters,
whose duty it was to receive the letters
from the couriers as they arrived and
give them to others, and to give fresh
horses in exchange for those that had
performed their part of the journey.
Thus the post went continually night
and day, rain or snow, heat or cold,
and Cyrus received speedy news of all
occurrences, and sent back whatever
orders he considered necessary.
Darious, the last king of the ancient
Persians, was superintendent of them
before he came to the throne.

A Strange Building Legend.

Nine master masons who were en-
gagged in building citadel in the time
of Voivoid Neagoe, found on returning
to their work each morning that the
portion of the wall which they had COM
pleted the day before had fallen to
pieces during the night and was lying
in heap of ruins in the ditch. Manol
of Curtea, the head mason, informed
his comrades one morning that q voice
from Heaven had warned him in his
sleep the night before that their labors
would continue to come to naught un-
less they all swore on that very morning
to immure in the structure the first
woman, be it wife, mother, daughter
or sister, who should arrive with the
morning meal of one or either of them.
They all took the oath, and the last
had hardly been sworn when Manols
own wife appeared, carrying her hus-
bands breakfast. The oath was kept,
and the woman known in the legend as
Flora of the Fields, was murdered,
and her blood and flesh incorporated
with the walls of masonry.
A curious practice of the Bulgarian
masons, (the above scene is laid in Bull
garia), which survives to this day, testi-
ties to the vitality of this legend. To
insure the solidity of the houses they
build they measure with a reed the
shadow of the first person who passes
after the digging of the foundation has
been completed. When the founda-
tion is commenced this reed is buried
under the first rock, usually the corner
stone.

About Airing Reds.

In airing beds the most thorough,
careful housekeeper often errs through
her very thoroughness. She will shake
the sheets, blankets, ETC., and hang
them out of the window and over chairs,
having them all exposed as much as
possible to the direct rays of the sun
and in the strongest breeze and this is
Just what should be done. Then the
pillows will be taken up and shaken
and thumped until they are soft and
fluffy and placed in the very sunniest
spot, and this is all wrong. The sun
will draw the oil from the feathers,
and the pillows will have rancid, dis
agreeable odor Expose those to the
air daily, be as thorough as you please
in this, and place the pillow slips in the
sun if you wish, but do not make the
mistake of giving the pillows, holsters,
cushions OF anything containing feath-
ers long sun bath, or you will do
them more harm than good.

THE GRAND LAMA'S PALACE.

Gt is Reached by Five Ladders and Holds
Huge Idol.
Potala, precipitous in many places,
rises within the confines of the outer
city of Lhasa in the most northwestern
quarter, says a writer in Murray's Mag
azine. 1t is heaped up in the most
fantastic style with halls and storied
temples and monster tombs, but on
looking up from the foot of these
heights the whole series is conioined
into one vast structure, surmounted by
five gold-plated rectangular domes of
great size.
The chief erection is the P'o.dang
Marpo, or "red palace, building car
ried up to the height of eleven stories
and which is ascended from story to
story by means of wooden ladders with
broad but difficult steps. This is the
central ediice round which the others
climb and cluster The lower stories
are built against the sheer face of the
acclivity.
After passing up steep path ave.
nued by trees you arrive at the princi-
pal or eastern doorway of the whole es-
tablishment. Here, first, is a long hall,
up which you may ride pony-back if
you choose. The hall is garnished on
either hand by long rows of massive
prayer-cylinders, which, placed like
barrels on end on well ll-oiled pivots, can
easily be made to revolve with a touch
as you pass along.

A farmers Saving Bank.

The farmer who Omits from his
calculations the value of the ma
nnres made by his farm animals,
omits one of the most important
items in the farm economy. Some
recent experiments at Cornell indi-
Gates that the value of the manure
made by horses is about two dollars
and eighty cents per ton, and that
they made an average of nine and a
half to ten tons per year each. That
from COWS is worth from thirty to
thirty-five dollars per year. That
from pigs, which weighs an average
of $50 pounds, is valued at about
two dollars and seventeen cents per
year. These figures are too impor-
tant to be neglected, for while the
manurial value of these elements
may not be equal to similar amounts
in commercial fertilizers, no account
Is taken of the large amount of veg
etable matter in these manures, which
is often of value in improving the
mechanical condition of the soil. 1t
is also worth while to remark that
this manure is too valuable to be
wasted by teaching in pounds or any

This is a vegetable that most farm
ers neglect. Some think it too much
trouble to have so many patches;
others neglect it because they do
not know how good it is. Not only
is it good for the farmers table,
but if it is placed on the market
early it has a ready sale at good
prices and will fill his pockets with
money. Some growers advise start
ing the plants in hot bed to get an
early crop, but have tried this plan
and cannot recommend it. The best
plan is to have plenty of seed and
plant as early as the ground will
work mellow, and then in about
eight days plant another patch so if
the first should fail you have more

Frauds Through the Mails,

The Post Office Department at
Washington makes the following
statement:
The frauds attempted by the use
of the mails are almost innumerable.
They consist of schemes concocted
to humbug the unsuspecting public,
and it seems the greater the fraud
the greater the returns to the swind-
Ter. Nearly all of these schemes
make use advertisements published
in newspapers and of circulars dis
tributed through the mails. Without
these means the public could not be
reached, and for this reason the law
has been enacted prohibiting the use
of the mails for fraudulent purposes.
But it is to be borne in mind thst,
unless complaints are made to the
Post Office Department, these frauds
are carried on without any know
ledge of their existence and no in
vestigation can be had.
To give few instances of these
frauds: A few years ago an adver-
tisement appeared in the papers
