The members of the Amish, pc

himself down to the level of his lis

The Peach lenend.

Almost all fruits and flowers have
their legend. One about the peach
comes from Japan ard tells how a
poor, piouS old couple were search
ing for food by the roadside. The
woman fourd a peach, which she
would not eat Of, though starving,
till she could share it with her hus-
band. He cut it exactly in half,
when an infant leaped forth. It
was one Of the gods, who had, he
said, accidentally fallen out of the
peach orchard of heaven while play
ing. He told them to plant the
stone Of the peach, and it brought
them happiness, friends and wealth.

CATERPIlLARS.
Expert Evidence as to the Taste Of
These Insects.

In some cases an insect-as the
caterpillar of the magpie MOTHS
conspicuously colored because, as it
is harmful food for birds, frogs or
lizards, they must be warned to
avoid it. This has been long as
serted, but some naturalists have
hesitated to accept the theory.
Professor Plateau went out one
day and ate part of one of these so
called "distasteful" insects. He re-
ported that the flavor, if somewhat
insipid, was sweetish, containing a
suggestion of almond, and was on
the whole not unpleasant. After
ward Professor Wheeler of Texas
Was induced to repeat this CASTRO
nomic adventure, His report con-
corning the insects he devoured was
that the flavor was slightly sweet
and distinctly "nutty," and he ear
nestly invited naturalists to eat in
sects Unfortunately on all their
SApCOICIOuS. 4IldI, L IOlCSSOI w IItCI-
er declared, would be the best way
to dispose of the theory that some
insects we're harmful to birds, liz
ards and frogs and that their colors
were self protective in warning
those creatures to abstain from COB
bling them up.
But Mr.. Guy Marshall, the dis
tinguished naturalist of Mashona-
land, after proving that, as mat
ter Of fact, frogs, birds and lizards
do abstain from eating the highly
colored caterpiilars, pointed out
that the personal tests made by his
brother entomoIogist5 were of no
worth, inasmuch as man was not
naturally an insect eating ANIMAL
and what was food to him might be
poison or at any rate highly u0pal-
atUUje to a frog.-Loauon News. ,

SLEEP AS AN INVESTMENT,
surHainq the Candle at Both Ends ks a
Bad Business.

One great secret of Napoleon's
power was his ability to sleep. If
he had but an hour for sleep, he
slept an hour, even though the fate
of an army or of an empire hung in
the balance while he slept. General
Grant was another great example of
this ability to lay aside work at quit
ting time. Even in the Wilderness
campaign, when the responsibility
Of the movements of the nations
armies, stretched out in battle line
a thousand miles long, lay on his
shoulders; when his good night com
mands involved all night marching
and fighting of his Army Of the Po-
tomac and his waking orders might
mean victory or defeat, the killing
or the saving Of a thousand men
under it all he lay down and drop
ped to sound sleep as quickly as you
or I when we read ourselves sleepy
over an old story book. Grant had
what a great writer has called a
f'frictionless mind" He saved for
the wear Of work what others throw
away on the tear of worry.

having thought of certain points at
certain pat occasions in the progress
Of the case" Of what value were
these night thoughts to this young
attorney? About as much value as
night swe0ts to a conSumptiyc! I
venture to say that all the business
planning q man does in life while
lying on his back at night isn't
worth an hours good thinking on
