Denomination.

came into possession of a check for
500. 1t caused him great deal of
anxiety. and for a long time he could
not muster up courage TO have it cash
ed. Finally on trip TO town, he sum
moned up nerve enough, and. strolling

The teller glanced at it hastily, and
then. after the fashion of his kind,
bruSquely asked: What denomina-
tom" Lutheran. gOl durn it, But
what's that got tew do with it," as
brusquely replied the old farmer to
the great astonishment of the bank
official. 1t required several minutes
explanation before the teller could get
tie old man TO understand his queS-
ton, and then the latter took his
money and departed. with sundry
growls derogatory to banks in general.

Our Florida Alligator

An alligator is not an attractive
creature. He has not a single virtue
that can be named. He is cowardly,
treacherOuS. hideOuS He is neither
graceful nor even respectable in ap-
pearance. He is not even amusing or
grOtesque in his ungalnlineSs, for as
brute-a brute unqualified-he is al
ways so intensely real that one
shrinkS from him with loathing; and
laugh al his expense while in his
presence v-ould seem curiously out Of
place.
His personality. too, is strong. Once
catch the steadfast gaze of a free,
adult alligator's wicked eyes, with
their odd vertical pupils fixed full up
on your own. and the significance of
the expression evil eye" and the N.Y.
steries of snake charming, hypnotism
and hoodoOism will be readily under
stood. for his british. mercileSS, un-
fiinching stare is simply blood chill
ling.
Zoologically, the alligator belongs to
the genus crocOdiius. and he has all
the hideousness of that family. lack
ing somewhat its bloodthirStiness. al
though the American alligator is car
nivorous by nature and OCCASIONALLY
cannibalaStic. Strictly speaking. how
ever. the true alligator is much less
dangerous than his relatives of the

Orchid Tea.

OF course. every one is aware that
under the name of tea" we often
drink beverage which has no acquaint-
ance with NE real leaf. But there are
several teas" which are not fraudul-
ent manufactures, though they are not
made of the leaves.
In Mauritius, for instance, they
make tea of the leaves of an orchid.
In Peru they drink mate. tea made
from native species of holly. The
Abyssinians make tea from the
leaves of the catha eduliS, which has
such stimulating qualities that even
a leaf or two of it chewed has all the
reviving effects of 1.-The cup that
cheers" and thus is most valuable to
travellers. The Tasmanians are said
to be the happy possessors of no less
than a hundred substitutes for tea;
while the Tonkinese have teas Of
their own made of berries. leaves,
woods and bark of trees. In Sumatra
coffee leaves are infused in the tea
pot. and the result is said to be an
excellent beverage.

THE CHINESE cHoPsTiCK.
a Useful Device W hich Serves It's Pur-
pose With Great Efficiency.

With the evidence of Asiatic con-
tact supposed to be so strong in Gen.
tral America, one might have imagin-
ed that so useful a device as the
simple chopsticks would have secured
a footing. These two sticks, held i'm
one hand, and known i'm China as
'hasteners or nimble lads" arc certain
ly the most useful, the most econom-
lCal and the most efficient device for
their purpose ever invented by man.
Throughout that vast Asia region, en-
braclng a population of 100000. 900.
the chopStick is used as a substitute
for fork. tOngs and certain forms of
tweezerS. Even fish. omelet and cake
are separated with the chopsticks. and
the cook, the street Scavenger and the
watch repairer use this device in the
form of iron, lCng bamboo and deli
cate ivory.
The bamboo chopStick was known
in China 1000 B. c., and shortly after
this date the ivory form was devised.
Their use is one Of great antiquity in
Janan. as attested by references to it
in the ancient records Of that country.
One NAV search in vain for the trace
of any object in the nature of chop
stick in Central of South America.
Knitting needles of wood are found in
the work baskets associated with
ancient Peruvian mummies, but the
chopstick has not been found. Cur
iOus pottery rests for the chopsticks
are eXhumed i'm Japan. but even this
enduring testimony of its early use
is yet to be revealed in this country.

AN INTERESTING STUDY.
Great Tact Required in Crowds which
Bring All Glasses Together,

The behavior Of people in crowds
would make an interesting study of
itself. In an ordinary crowd the ma
jority are apt to be unacquainted with
any formal etiquette, and the rest
seem to forget all they ever knew;
only those who are possessed of ma
tural politeness and unfailing good ma
ture are saved from becoming savages
under such circumstances. OF course
it is unpleasant for people OF refined
nature TO be brought into very close
contact with the ruder pOpulace. and
it very frequently happens that the
very ones who have had most training
in courtesy are the most diSagreeable
when in the midst of crowd The
nerves of the common people are less
easily disturbed. and the physical dis
comforts common to crowds are not
greater than they are accustomed to
in ordinary daily life. Unless you can
be sure of bearing yourself with
courtesy and good humor, you should
avoid crowds for your own sake as
well as out of consideration for others.
If. from choice or necessity. you flock
with birds that are not all of your
own fine feather, your aim should be
TO respect the rights of others without
relinquishing your own. You are not a
door mat. to allow yourself to be
trampled upon without remonstrance;
nor yet a cur, to snarl and snap at
those who. perhaps, through no fault
of their own. encroach upon you too
closely. Even in the highest circles
people are apt to lose their heads. to
say nothing of their hearts, when
massed i'm large numbers. as witness
the trays that are reported to take
place among the fair 'gentlewOmen"
who attend the queens drawing room.

T.,e Game of the Devil.

Kouen-gen-the game of the devil
is traced in China to remote antiquity.
The devil is made of two tin cones,
connected at their apices and bored for
the production of a humming sound.
This sort of shuttlecock the player
throws and catches on a string kept
taut on two sticks held in either hand.
A good player can throw it forty feet
in the air. The skill demanded is
greater than that required by battle
dore and shuttlecock. 1t has been
played both in France and Belgium. In
the latter country it was so favored
some years ago that regular matches
