The owl is case in point. The Greeks
looked upon him as grave and wise bird,
and assigned him to Athene. We think his
appearance comic, and in common talk the
owl represents a bewildered, rather dense
person, who cannot see the obvious
Though the Greek revered the owl, HindoO
feeling Is exactly the same as ours. To call
a stupid servant "ooloo"-''you owl!"-
would convey exactly the same meaning

docs think of the night-owl, a bird be-

Most people who have watched penguins
hopping on the ground will own that when
moving they are irresistibly funny Their
little wings, like fat hands without arms,
round white waistcoats, short necks, and
short legs with little fiat, black feet, make
them like bird edition of Mr.. Pickwick.
Their only movement is a series of hops,
with the head bent nervously forward as
II they We're afraid Of falling-which they
are-and their little wings stuck out on

Inc Japanese artists, who have a fine
sense of the ludicrous in nature, but US

into their studies of animal life, show a
proper appreciation of the comicality OF

would be perfect illustrations of the comic

Lazzaroni of Naples.
From the Chicago News.


Naples without her picturesque lazza
roni would lose half her attractiveness to
the foreigner. This floating class of the
population used to do nothing but begi

some one else, signor," he said. II have
enough for to-day"
The idea of making little extra money
Tor tomorrow would be repudiated with
scorn by the lazzaroni. If they get all the
macaroni they can eat for one day all
they ask is to be let alone to sleep IN the
sun; Macaroni is the favorite and only

human and the quantities used are enor-
NOUS. The large bakeries send macaroni
by the ton to Naples. 1t is baked till ag-
CULTIVATED and then hung across stout
cord and dried in the sun.
Macaroni sellers can be found on every
corner. The macaroni steams in a large
copper Kettle filed with tomato sauce and
is served the customers on sticks and
eaten in long strips with the fingers, the
customer throwing back his head neces-
sarily as one does when trying to eat limp
asparagus.
The shiftlessness of the lower class of
Neapohtans is proverblal. If unmarried
the lazzaroni do not have any homes, but
sleep anywhere, and If married their
homes are little better than caves, which
are never cleaned and which never see
the light of the sun. The women are not
handsome, as are the peasant women or
Italy, being stunted and gaunt.
The commonest people of Naples rarely
buy anything at the shops, preferring to
deal with the street peddlers, who are le-
gion.- The food is all bought this way.
Nothing appeals so to the lazzaronia appe-
tite as the great cake baked at Easter,
Which contains pork fat and whole eggs

smaller bowl that holds the whipped

leaves always sits in the middle of the
table, for a nasturtium sandwich is con-
sidered just the very daintiest morseI

white; a small monogram in white on
