that only two men have really kno'sn
what socialism is-Henry w, who
dreamed of giving every peasant la
poule au pot, and perhaps myself,
whose greatest ambition is to save
the Russian peasant from dying of

starvation, they begin to bless God
and end by loving their sovereign,

The Eggs a Grasshopper Lays.

How many eggs does grasshopper
lay? Mahomet, according to the
Kha1if Omar, said, when these insects
fell upon him, that he could read upon
their wings tie words, 'We are the le-
gions of God, and we bear ninety-nine
eggs. When we produce a hundred
we shall devour the world" In pa
per read before the Paris Academy of
Sciences, NJ. Kunckel d'Herculai says
that Mahomet was wrong in supposirg
chat the locust laid exactly ninety-nine
eggs at time, although he was quite
right in attributing to it extraordinary
fecundity. NJ. Kunckel has been
carefully watching some locusts for
months, and he finds that one of these
insects will lay as many as from 500
to 900 eggs during season OF from
ten to eleven months. He points out
that if the French government wishes
to get rid of the locust plague from
which Algeria suffers, it is particularly
Advisable to kill the insects just before
the season when their eggs are laid

Girls Who Attract Men.

The girlswho attract the best men are
almost always source of surprise to
their feminine friends, who are often
lost in wonder as to why SO many more
patent charms should have been pass
ed ever in such sections. It is the lit
tie mouse of woman, the shrinking,
shy creature left in the background
by her bolder sisters, we constantly
see brought to the front by the man
who has won her love. And men pre-
fer them to any such coquettish inyi-
tation as that extended by Mrs. Bond
of the nursery thyme to her ducks,
when decoying them to come and be
killed, the uncertainty hanging around
a being to whom they have to Ltie.
Every mans ideal of wife-I mean
the normal, honest citizen of otir re-
public, who looks forward to making
of himself and his line, stones to sup
port it's bulwark-is girl Who may be
pretty, who might be brilliant, but
who must be good. He also recog-
nizes instinctively that her grace
should not be too costly to wear every
day. That she shall be cheerful of
temper, inclined to take short views
of human infrmity, and sound of
health, he Is apt gravely to consider,
within himself, as essential. If all
those who, before marrying, omitted
to think about those things had done
80, it is possible we should hear less
today of the incompatibility of man
and woman.-Ladies' Home Journal.

This is n Snake Story.

In the month OF July some four o.
FIVE years ago was out shooting fori-
can with friend of mine in Guzerat
We had had fairly good luck, and as
we were making our way to the rail-
way station to catch the early train
back to Ahmedabad I noticed my
friend, WHO. was shooting in line on
my left, suddenly point his gun at
something on the ground and fire, and
on asking what it was he said it was o
large black cobra, and that he had
shot it in two pieces, the head portion
disappearing down hole. AS we
were in hurry to catch the train we
went on, but very soon heard one OF
the beaters calling out, and looking
back saw him running toward us with
the head portion of the snake follow
ing him with the hood expanded. 1t
appeared that he had remained be-
hind trying to dig out the cobra, and
the result was that it came out Of the
hole and went for him. Of course
the snake could not get much pace on
and was quickly killed.-Journal of,

A New Pictiirs.

Avery ignorant and wealthy woman,
who was fond of talking about her cart
gallery" one day met, at the house OF
an acquaintance, lady who had not
called on her, although they lived in
the same town.
"Come to see me, dol" said Mrs.
B, the patron of art, as the other
lady was taking her leave.
"Thank you very much" was the
non-committal reply.
"We've got new picture, too. That
ought to tempt you to come, if l
can't"
"I should be very glad, indeed, to
see it,"
'Such a lovely picture Some times
it seems to me could look at it all

"What is the subject of your pict-

tess.
"Jupiter and Ten," remarked she,
with assurance.
Then some one remembered that
the name, "Jupiter and To-" was at
tached to the picture.-Montreat Me.

IMPRESSIONS.

The touch OF hand; the glance of an eye,
OR a word exchanged with n passer-by;
A glimpse Of face in the crowded street
And afterward life is incomplete;
A picture painted with honest zeal
And we lose the old for the new ideal;
A chance remark, or songs refrain,
And life is never the same again.
An angered word from our lips Is sped
Or tender word Is left unsaid,
And one there Is who, his whole life long,
Shall cherish the brand of burLing wrong
A line that stares up from IN open page,
A cynic smile from the lips OF age,
A gllm pse of loving seen in play,
And the dreams OF our youth are swept
away.
A friendly smile and loves emberlng spark
Leaps into flame and illumines the dark:
A whispered "Be brave" to our fellow men
And they pick up the thread OF hope again
Thus never an act or word or thought
But that with unguessed Importance is
fraught,
For small things build up to eternity,
And blazon the ways for destiny.

Platinum and Gold.

Popular opinion concerning the great
value of platinum is largely at fault,
says an exchange. One frequently y
hears the statement that platinum is
more valuable than gold. Nothing
could be further from the truth. Pure
platinum is worth about SO an ounce.
In recent years it has been as low as Sc
an ounce. Once, owing to a specula-
tive corner, it reached the top figure,
SIT, but it soon fell back to normal.
Pure gold the world over has never
varying value of S20.67 an ounce.
About three tons of platinum are an
nually consumed in this country in the
manufacture of incandescent electric
lamps and for similar purposes. at
least another ton is used in the manu-
facture of artificial teeth.

Chinese Prisoners.

Describing o visit to prison in
Canton, Florence O'Driscoll, NJ. p,
says in the Century:
I had hardly finished my inTestiga.;
tion Of this weird md morbidly fas-
cinatlng picture when I heard a tre=
mendous clanking Of chains over the
stone paving. Three men were COM
ing along, and another walked about
twenty yards behind. All wore
hobble. chains, and, in addition, each
carried large block OF granite in his
hands that must have weighed at least
afty pounds.
As they drew closer, I saw that these
stone blocks had holes IN the centre
and that through them ran long chains:
Each chain was rove through another
fastened around the mans waist, and
running free, was carried up and
welded around his neck: The four
men had hardly sat down when another,
similarly fettered, appeared, coming
down the long courtyard; He Joined
them, and they sat in row:
1 had not seen these fellows when
walking through the prison.. They
presented the usual semi-ragged, IN.
shaven, unwashed, hungry, and wholly
rapacious appearance. Some looked
defiant, others broken-spirited; one
looked coward and sneak, and l
said in my own mind that he was the
worst scoundrel of all.
Still no magistrate appeared, and
had leisure to examine the surround
ings. The materials for q turbulent
scene were present: first, the prison
ers; and, second, certain instruments
of coercive nature.
There were four or FIVE wooden col
lars stacked like states against q wall.
A narrow ring at the edge of the neCk-
hole was worn bright and shiny. 1t
ended abruptly in a ridge of black
dirt, which edged off outwardlY, and
faded into the dull, dusty roughness
of the main surface A few knotted
scourges hung from nail close by.
and also piece of heavy leather like
boot-sole.
The guide told me that this was for
beating the prisoners across the mouth
when they cried out too much during
examination.

A Moving Mountain.

It has been known for mahy years
that an enormous mass Of rock on the
Cascades of the Columbia River in
Oregon, large enough to be dignifed
with the name of mountain; is slowly
changing position. We translate the
following description Of the phenome-
non from Cosmos, Paris. "It consists
of ridge OF brown basalt With three
submits; toto 12 kiloinetefs long and
rising about 600 meters above the level
of the river. The idea that this mass
is in movement is certainly the last
that would occiir to the traveller pass
ing it, and nevertheless nothing is
more certain; the whole mass is being
displaced slowly; bit without pause,
descending toward the river and show
ing an intention of damming 1t some
day or other; and so of forming great
lake extending from the Cascades to
the Dalles. In this movement of trans
lation and descent it has ALREADY SUBJ
merged part of the forests that line its
base; the engineers Of the railway that
skirts the mass have proved that the
line is continually pushed toward the
river and that in several years it has
been moved two and one-halt to three
meters. Geologists attribute the
phenomenon to the fact that the basalt
that forms the nucleus of the mass
rests on soft strata through which
water constantly percolates, thus
swapping the mountain under its base.
They think, also, that these strata,
even without the aid of water, would
probably give away little by little,
beneath the mass with which they are
loaded"

State Aid for Electric Railways.

A project for erecting perfect net.
work of electric railroads over the state
of Ohio is being agitated by Martin
Dodge, of Cleveland, O., late presi-
dent of the Ohio road commission:
His plan is for the state and the coun-
ties to join hands and construct electric
roads between all the county seats in
the state, and then to lease such lines
to private parties to operate, His plan
is to divide the expenses of eonstruc-
tion between the state and the countless;
It is estimated that about 1000 miles
of road would thus gridiron the state,
which would cost about 500, 600, 600.
