The BarnacIe Goose.

Down until the middle of the
eighteenth century many supposed
to be educated people in the world
actually believed that the barnacle
or brant goose was Matched from
the parasitic shell known to conchol-
ogists as the barnacle or as scientif-
ically the. barnecula. Holinshed, the
English historian who flourished
just before Shakespeare's appear
ance in English literature, in writ
ing Of the barnacle goose says, Il
have seen these barnacles hanging
upon roots, timbers, etc, with the
feathers hanging out of the shell
two inches" Drayton's Herbal, "
published seventeen years after the
death of Holinshed, refers to the
wonderful barnacle goose as fol-
lows: "In the north Of Scotland
there are certain trees whereon do
grow shellfshes, which, falling into
the water, do become fowles whom
we call barnacles and in the north
of England brant geese; in Ian
cashire, tree geese or shell geese"

Cows on the Roof.

The funniest thing yet discovered
in the management of cows is the
Peruvian fashion of keeping them
on top of the house. The big ram
bling houses of Lima have adobe
roofs, fiat as a board floor, and there
are hundreds Of them in the sub
urbs of that proud old city which
serve the purposes of barnyard.
The mules and horses are housed in
the lower rooms Of the house for
in Spanish America it is not gener-
ally the fashion for humans to in
habit the. ground foor-while on
the top fowls, pigs and goats are
raised, and the COW spends her days
there, having been carried up when

EYES Apple Tree.

a poisonous fruit, supposed to
have the mark of Ewes teeth, grows
in Ceylon and the tree is called
ewes apple tree" The fruit is of
an orange tint on the outside and
deep crimson within, and each apple
has the appearance of having had a
piece bitten out of it. This fact,
together with its poisonous quality,
led the Mohammedans to represent
it as the forbidden fruit Of the gar
den Of Eden.

DEPEND UPON YOURSELF.
Net Only Know Your Lesson, but
Know That You Know 1t.

Henry Ward Beecher, especially
in his later life, was fond Of telling
this story about his teacher, who
taught him to depend upon himself:
& was sent To the blackboard and
went uncertain, full of Whimpering.
'S'That lesson must be learned,'
said my teacher in a very quiet tone,
butlwith terrible intensity. All ex-
plantations and excuses he trod I'M
der foot with utter scornfulness. i
don't want any reason why you
haven't it, he would say.

THAT is nothing to me. I want

but it seasoned me. In less than a
month | had the most intense sense
Of intellectual independence and
courage to defend my Rotations.

me in the midst Of a demonstration,

"Nof''

Cheapest Newspapers Succeeds.

Tbz Neue Zeitung, price l kreuzer, or
he fifth of a penny, has been running
now for some weeks and appears to
have attained a healthy circulation,
according to dispatch from Vienna
to the London Mail. In appearance
it is similar to the ordinary Viennese
dailies at six times the price. The
sales are large at the kiosks in the
streets, but the cafe proprietors are
chary Of supplying it, as they deem it
within the purchasing power Of every
one.

Hsaddresslna Among the Romans

Hsaddressinq Among the Romans.
The ancient Romans were most
simple in their attire and SO contin-
ned for a long period, but after a
tine fashion came to reign supreme
among them, just as it does with us
today.
In the early Roman days the wo-
men, following eastern traditions,
were seldom seen abroad, and when
they did go out wore their faces
yelled, but as richness and luxury
increased the household labors were
delegated to slaves, and dress and
show became the chief object of am
bition.
The simplicity of their home life
and the number of bakers and cook
shops enabled even the poorer. class
es to spend much Of their time in
the streets, market places and at the
public games.
It is noticeable that this day the
poorest Roman woman, no matter
how coarse her garments, will in
variably have her hair neat, plated
and deliberately coiled and fastened
with snowy beaded pins, which care
of her bountiful tresses she derives
directly from her ancestress of an
cient times, for the ancients spent
more time in the elaborate dressing
of the hair than in any other adorn-
ment.-Spare Moments.

A Bird That Sews.

The sewing or tailor bird of India
is little yellow creature not much
larger than ones thumb. To es-
cape falling a prey to snakes and
monkeys the tailor bird, travellers
say, picks up a dead leaf and flies
up into a high tree and, with fiber
for thread and its bill for needle,
sews the leaf on to green ono
hanging from the tree, the sides De
ing. seWed up and an opening left at
the top. That nest is swinging
in the tree no snake or monkey, or
even a man, would suspect.

GREEDINESS AND HASTE.
Two Evils That Destroy thousands Of
Men Every Year.

Two Evils That Destroy Thousands Of
Men Every Year.
Peecher's advice to his son makes
good reading
You must not get into debt.
Avoid debt as you would the devil
Make it a fundamental rule: Cash
or nothing.
Make few promises. IoeligiouslF
observe the smallest promise. a
man who mean. to keep his prom
iSe. can't afford to make many.
BE scrupuioasly careful IN all
statements. Aim at accuracy and
perfect franknes5; no guessWork--
either nothing or exact truth.
When working for others, sink
yourself out of sight; seek their IN
terest. Make yourself necessary to
those who employ you by industry,
fidelity and scrupulous integrity.
Selfshness is fatal,
Hold yourself responsible for a
higher standard than anybody else
expects Of you Demand more of
yourself than anybody expects Of
you. Keep your own standard high
Never pity yourself. Be a hard mas
ter TO yourself, but lenient to every
body else.
Concentrate your force on your
own business; do not turn off. Be
constant, steadfast, perseyering.
The art Of making ones fortune
is TO spend nothing. In this coun-
try any intelligent and industrious
young man may become rich if he
stops all leaks and is not in a hurry.
Do not make haste; be patient.
Do not speculate or gamble.
Steady, patient industry is both the
surest and the safest way. Greedi-
ness and haste are two devils that
destroy thousands every year.

A prominent man Just back from

three miles Of streets have been paved,
and over one mile Of asphalt streets
completed, as we'll as the pavements
finished. This is over As blocks in
