Little Swiss Town One of the Quaint.
est In Europe.
When next you go to the Lake Of
Geneva, by al means pay a visit to
the little known village of st. Legier,
near by, on the road between Vevey
and Blonay, one Of the quaintest vii
lagos in Europe and one of the proud
est on account of it's extraordinary
adornments. st. Legier and the adjoin-
Ing village Of La Chiesaz are nothing
more or less than illustrated villages.
They are as profusely illustrated as
the modern magazine. for nearly all
the houses bear on their outside walls
cature from the brush of great man
in the village, M. Alfred Begun, a
painter of local renown and not un-
known In Paris, says Pearson's Maya
zine
house in st. Legier has no use for
signboard to tell the world that it is
an inn, cycle shop, forge or dairy.
M. Beguin's picture does that. On
stable wall he draws picture Of a
spirited runaway horse knocking down
men as he leaps for freedom; on the
white wall of the little village forge
are pictures of men making horseshoes
for dear life and shoeing frisky
steed; on the wall Of the dairy a dairy
maid balances pail Of milk on her
head, while scenes of local life, as pic
lures of the annual summer exodus to
the mountain pastures with the cows
and goats, and caricatures Of the local
bigwigs make bright picture gal
lery Of the village. M. Begun lives in
one of the most imposing houses in st.
Legier, whence he obtains full view
of the crooked little village street and
Of the Dent du Jaman towering up in
the distance. For many years past he
has amused himself by painting the
houses, and in the first place he ac-
quired most of his skill and boldness
in painting in this way.-Detroit Free

One Way to Make This Dull Old

There is many failure on the part

up well nigh impossible barrier be-

"Are you sure? think there's going

HORSEHAlR SNAKES.

Peculiar Habits of These Threadlfke
Little Serpents.
The ."horsehair snakes" are small,
flesh colored mites which live princi-
pally in stagnant water. After going
through various transformations they
come to the surface of the water in the
shape of very slender. purplish looking
threads. When they reach this last
stage. they leave the water and work
their way up the stalks and leaves of
aquatic plants. When opportunity af-
fords, they attach themselves to the
feet. legs, wings and other parts of
larger insects. often, as one authority
states. creeping under the wing case
Of beetles. In the case of the cricket,
katydid, grasshopper and other insects
Of that ilk, whose legs are hollow. the
tiny hOrsehair takes the advantage and
creeps up the hollows into the very
vitalS.
This accounts for the fat and clumsy
condition Of some individuals of the
above named species. single specimens

over two dozen of these threadlike

frequently drown crickets and katydids

mature state he is the delight of the
curiosity seeker snd mine of study to
those who delight to delve in natures
bypaths. Those which have been for
tunate enough not to have been carried
very far from water by the insects
which they encountered during life
make their way back to the ponds to
lay their eggs. They then wrap them
selves around the eggs, which soon
hatch into the little flesh colored mites
mentioned in the opening. About this
time the parent "snake" dies to make
room for it's progeny.
