CURRENT MISCELLANY.

Tho great yellow water lily occurs Mt
Wocus bay and few other places OH
klamath lake and i'll endless amount in
klamath marsh. The largo mucilagin-
Gus seed pods arc gathered i'll boats, tho
seeds extracted after some process of
drying tho pods and then stored for use
during tho year. The common method
of preparing the seeds for use is to roast
them either i'll an open basket with live
Goals, or, moro commonly in recent
years, i'll an iron frying pan over a
fire. When treated thus, the seeds swell
and crack their coats much after the
manner of parched corn. Tho roasted
seeds arc commonly eaten dry without
further preparation, tasting very much
like popcorn, but sometimes they arc
ground into meal and mado into por-
ridge or "a bread.
This is probably tho most important
farinac2ous food of the Klamaths They
gather enormous quantities of it during
the months Of July and August, nearly
all the old women of the tribe going to
the marsh for the purpose. 1t is such IL
favorite food with the tribo that its use
is likely never to be wholly given up

A Queer Insect.

There is queer looking insect that
looks for all tho world like q bit Of dead
stick and is known rs tho walking
stick insect, )" or praying mantis.' 1t
has two arms, with which it catches
flies, its natural food. You may cut the
head off n mantis, yet the active arms
still continue catching flies and trying
to stuff them into it's missing jaws.
This seems to show that insects can't
feel much pain.
But it's hard matter to understand.
The nerves of an insect arc arranged SO
differently from those of man or other
superior animals that no comparison
is possible. Mans nerves are, except
those of the heart and internal organs,
quite under each individuals control.
III the case of insects their nerves arc
arranged in separate "ganglia. or bun
dies, each of which is capable of act
ing quito independently of the rest

Rings His Bell When Hungry.

Tho strongest bird that ever reached
the Philadelphia ZOO came from Brazil.
1t is the bell bird, fat and pudgy, Gu
rlously marked in its plumago and
about the size of small pigeon. Its
most striking characteristic is its won
dorful voice, from which it gets it's
lame. When hungry, tho bell bird
squats on its launches, throws its square
cut bill up toward the skies and utters
Its peculiar, resonant notes. The song is
not unlike tho sound produced by tho
striking of hammer OH an anvil, clear
and ringing, SO penetrating that it can
be heard throughout the gardens There
IS no let up i'll the cries until the keeper
responds by bringing cream nuts, tho
food OH which the bird thrives in its
native forests. The creature is a great
consumer, often making away with a
quart of the nuts III single day. 1t
breaks the hard shell easily in its wise
like benk. After stufiing itself it rests
contentedly until tho pangs of hunger
arc again felt, when tho bell is rung. -

Popularity and a Slap.

Ono of the incidents that conduccd to
give the queen temporary popularity in
Ireland was this. She and the prince,
with the Prince of Wales and Prince
Alfred, were driving in their roomy
carriage to Mr.. bargains exhibition.
The streets and windows were throng-
ed. There were only bright faces, and
the air was filled with cheers. She bow
ed very atfably. Tho-prince held his hat
littlo before his forehead and hardly
bowed. The Prince of Wales took off
cap with white band and held it rather
gracefully, as if to show that he should
have bowed were the queen not present.

Deafness In School Children.

The fact that nyopia is frequent
among school children is we'll known.
1t is not so well known that impair
ed hearing is also frequently met with.
The children thus affected are often ac-
cused of being lazy and inattentivc,
when i'll reality their ears are at fault.
Helot shows that thsse cases are quite
common, are easily recognized, are gen
orally durable and when cured large
number of children are transformed, so
to speak, both from physical and Il
moral standpoint. According to We'll
OF Stuttgart, the proportion of school
children with impaired hearing is 35
per cent; according to Moure of Bor-
deaux, II per cent. Helot agrees with
Gete and other aurists that the proper
ton is 30 per cent, or one-fourth. All
the children in class should be care
fully examined, and these semideaf pu-
pills will always DO found among the
poor scholars. Tho cause of infrmity
is to be sought for-nasopharyngcal
catarrh following measles, scarlatina,
whooping cough, adenoid negotiations,
hypertrophied tonsils, etc.--and normal
conditions are to be restored by appro-
priato treatment. - Popular Science

Origin OF n Name.

Tho origin Of the name Fife is not
Xnown. One historian tries to show
that it comes from tho Celtic word
veach, n Pict. and means that the dis
1rlct was inhabited by Picts, but that is
OBVIOUSLY absurd, rs Fife was not spe-
claliy the homo of any of the Piotish
nations. The tradition that finds great
est favor is related by u monk, who
states that the first known possessor of
the district which has since grown into
tho kingdom of Fife was one Fifus
Du1fus, famous chieftain whose date
IS lost in the mists of antiquity.
