.M0Oshla ScOH!"

"A few nights ago." writes Trans
vaal correspondent, 81, in company with
a chnm, took stroll round the Native
Location which lies about 200 yards
from the railway station. We made for
row of buts, four in number, in the
front of which wood fires were burning.
"On reaching them we noticed the
natives were in the act Of catching To-
Gusts, flying ants and other queer look
ing insects which were swarming around
in hundreds, being attracted by the
bright light of the fire.
"Aftor their wings had been singed
through coming in contact with the
fire, the insects were scooped into a
large hole dug in the sand. We waited
several minutes wondering what the
motive for all this could be, when the
niggers formed circle round this hole
and commenced taking out handfuls of
these hideous locking things and eating
them.
"This, as we ascertained, formed the
niggers' evening meal, they informing
us it was 'mooshla scoff' (nice food). -

The Youths Companion tells this
story e Oliver Wendell Holmes one of
whose hobbies was to trace genealogies
and family resemblances. AT the open
ing of the term of the medical class one
year, while he was one of its lecturers,
he met for the first time young mem
ber who introduced himself as, let us
say, Perry of Cambridge.
The little doctor looked at him keenly
and said "You are also one of the W.. g
of Cape Cod know it by your upper
lip"
The young man flushed and made
haste to answer that he never had heard
of the w. s and did not know any per-
son in Cape Cod
BIT the doctor smiled obstinately and
at intervals through the winter would
inquire whether Mr.. Perry had looked
up his ancestor, receiving each time the
assurance that inquiry had been made,
but no trace of this strain of blood could
be found in the family.
One day Perry came to him. "You
were right, DIR. Holmes. We have found
i'm an old Bible record that my great
great grandmother was w. and came
from Cape Cod"
The doctor beamed with delight. "No
upper lip ever deceived me yet" he
laughingly exclaimed, and carried his
little triumph to all Of his friends with
as much pleasure as II it had been
long lost treasure.

Mice of All CoIOrs.

The National Mouse Club of England
recently held an exhibition where sew
eral hundred mice competed for gold
medals, champion cups and various 9th
or prizes These little creatures are not
the ordinary everyday mice which scare
the cook and drive the mistress of the
house to take refuge OH chair They
are we'll bred mice that expected to be
petted and caressed and treated as ten
derly as pet cat or dog
By careful breeding they have de.
veloped great variety in coloring and
sometimes in shape, One very choice
style Of animal, called the spiny mouse,
has row of bristling hair for a spinal
ornament and is "A very cute miniature
reproduction of q poroupine. The IA
miliar white mice so often seen for sale
on the streets here have been bred with
black eyes instead of red ones 1t has
taken several years to produce these re-
suits. but the sociuty now claims to be
able to furnish mice in l2 or l3 differ
ent shades. To any one who is able to
overcome the fear of mice they are
dainty, delicate little studies at any
time, but when they play around in
suits OF chocolate, sable, fawn, Jet
black, tortoise or golden agouti they be-
come perfectly fascinating.
As in the case of all fads of this kind,
the prices brought by these little pets
are extremely steep. Fifteen dollars or
$50 is not large price to pay for a
well bred mouse, and some of them
have been sold for as high as $50

If all the laurel wreaths of fame
Were twined for my unworthy head
What were they worth unless you
came
To see your lover garlanded?
If all the sovereignty of earth
In one sole sceptre wooed my graspi
What would its heavy gold be worth
Unless your Land were mine to claspi
If all the roses summer knows
BY pleasures hand were plucked
and strown,
Should l raise up one single rose
IL must drink its scent alone?
There Is no kingdom but your heart
There is no laurel but your praise,
The rose is but your counterpart,
You dear delight OF all my days.
Yet would had the sceptre gold,
The laurel fine. the roses rare;
The sceptre for your hands TO hold,
