1t wraps you round, all soft and warm,
Yet very far from pleasant:
1t has no bulk, no weight, no form,
But everywhere seems present.
1t mounts, it flies, it seeks the skies,
In vain you would detain it;
While any one can bid it rise,
There's no one can restrain it.
Subject of many wordy fight,
So variously men rate it;
Some hold it as their chief delight,
And some as ''poison'' hate it.
Itmeets your eye with treacherous vile,
All limits overlapping,
For, though you greet it with a smile,
Twill often set you weeping.

BOTH PARTIES PLEASED.
The Amicabl~ Terms Upon Which an old
 Debt Was Paid.

Lawsuits are to be avoided by all honorable means Nine times in ten the result is satisfactory to neither side. The Portland Argus, however, lately recorded one striking exception:
 A Portland lawyer says that not long ago . man came into his office thor oughly angry, as men usually are when they go on such errands. He had called upon debtor and asked him politely for the payment of a bill of two dollars and fifty cents and had been abused for his pains. Now he wanted the law yer to collect it.
 The lawyer demurred. The amount was too trifling. It would cost the whole of it to collect it.
 No matter" said the client. ''I don't care if don't get cent, so long as that fellow has to pay it
 Sothe lawyer wrote the iebtosa letter and in due time the latter appeared in high dudgeon. He didn't owe any two dollars and fifty cents and he wouldn't pay it.
 Very well,' said the lawyer; then my instructions are to sue. But hard ly think it will pay you to stand suit for so small a sum-"
 Who'll get the money if pay it?' asked the man.
 The lawyer was obliged to confess that he should.
 ''Oh, welS' said the debtor. that's another matter. If Mir. - isn't going to get it I am perfectly willing to pay it."
 The debt was paid, the lawyer poclI- eted the amount, and, what is very un- usual, all parties to the suit were per fectly satisfied.

BEDOUIN SUPERSTITIONS.
The Cnreasoning Treatment of Arabian
 Horses by Their Mastera.

by uhAters
 The Bedouin i $ full of horse super stitions. His horse-lore is much like but less than that of our old-fashioned liveryman of a past generation. He knows horses habits and diseases by observation solely; he has no idea of anatomy. Every species of wind trou- ble to which the horse is subject he merely describes as having something wrong inside him." He treats horse on a system of old saws. For lame ness he has but one remedy, the hot iron. His horse will work to twenty or even twenty-five years old, but he twelve. In buying, he looks more at marks than points.
 In feeding and watering the horse. says Harper's Magazine, the Bedouins seem to us to be equally unreasoning, unless it be agreed that a horse can stand anything he is used to, and that it is well to get him used to irregular habits. The fact that the Arabian has often to go an indefinite time without food or drink makes him hardy and less apt to suffer than are our regular ly treated animals. He goes all day in the hot sun, and does not ask for wa ter-impatiently at least-even in crossing a brook. He is fed and wa tered apparently regardless of the fact that he is hot or tired. He is given his pail of water and his troughful of dry or green food, or whatever else is available, so soon as he stops on a jour ney, or is ridden of immediat tely after. Quite as often he gets nothing at all I have seen horses ridden all day. and have camped at noon with them near by stream. without any one trying to water them, because they had no bucket and the banks were high. It would never occur to a Bedouin to carry skin pail with him. But the horses seemed used to such neglect, and never even whinnied for the water gurgling past them.

THE ENGLISH WASP PLAGUE.
An Emcacious Method Of Destroying
 Nests in the Ground.

An Emcacious Method Of Destroying
 Nests in the Ground.
 The wasp plague continues to cause great inconvenience in the neighbOr- hood of Dover, England. A curious in- cident happened recently in a village near Sandwich. A laborer discovered a wasp's nest, and, struck with the beauty of its formation, took it home and carelessly put it aside, with the ob- ject of taking it to a naturalist. The nest proved to be full of eggs, which the warmth of the house developed during the night into hundreds of wasps. When the family awoke on Sunday morning the house was swarm ing with wasps, and the family had to make their escape as best they could. Some of them were severely stung.
 A correspondent of the Newcastle Chronicle writes: It may be of value to sufferers from the present wasp plague to know the following simple and most efficacious method of destroying nests in the ground: Procure from the chem ist some cyanide of potassium. dissolve it in water (about four ounces cyanide to a quart of water), and pour a small quantity of the mixture into the mouth of the hole The result is mar vicious. Wasps returning home enter to leave no more. Those already at home remain there permanently. The work should be done quietly about midday, when most of the wasps are out. We have destroyed in the last ten days about eighteen or twenty large nests in this way with perfect success The cyanide of potassium should, of course, be handled carefully, being deadly poison

WOMEN AND MICE.
A Member of the Fair Sex Gives Her
 Views on the Subject.

There is a most interesting article in the London Woman on Why Women Are Afraid of Mice" The writer is a dent of natural history, and she ad- mits that women are afraid of mice. She says that the fear is never as stunned; that in the absence of the tiny, harmless, graceful little crea- ture" (these are her very words) wom- cn are heartily ashamed of their ter TOT, but that when the mouse appears they shriek and grow cold with fear. II remember once," she tells us, read ing story about a coterie of strong minded women who gave a series of lectures upon female virtues in an old country town assembly room. One of their number was chosen to deliver the lecture on valor, and selected for her subject the history of Joan of Arc. She was discoursing upon the valor of her sex, when a mouse ran across the platform, and the lecturer and her strong-minded sisters jumped on to their chairs, elutching their petticoats in a manner not altogether pictur- esque." Most of us have heard this story, and there is no doubt that if the mouse appeared the rest of the story is true. The writer adds that Joan of Are would probably have clutched her petticoats in precisely the same man ner. But Joan, the heroic, did not wear petticoats. However, she might have shrunk in her armor.
 "A mouse in the chamber of Marat would. l believe, have deterred Char lotte Corday from her dread purpose, and the tail of one popping opportune- ly from the carving of Tullias chariot would have prevented her from driv- ing over her fathers corpse, and could cite many instances in which mice might have changed the history of the world. The story of a prisoner who was cheered in captivity by a mouse is familiar to us all, but the prisoner was man. Equally familiar is the fable of the grateful mouse which gnawed the net, but. again, the prisoner is said to have been a lion, not lioness."

 And when you can't understand what the minister means you must re- member that he is talking about good and beautiful things, and you must make up your mind to think of some thing good yourself
