a restraining measure there might be some ela-

and counsel was sought 1t was Jacob Brenner

HORSEHAlR SNAKES.
'ecuIiar Habits of These ThreadIike
Little Sernemfn.

Peculiar Habits of These ThreadIike
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
ther 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 lk, 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
Of the cricket having been caught with
over two dozen of these threadlike
Snakes" attached to and inside Of
their bodies. After heavy rains, which
frequently drown crickets and katydids
which are weighted down by these
parasites, the ''horsehair snake"
energies from the carcass of the insect
a full fiedged miniature serpent. In this
mature state hG Is the delight of the
curiosity seeker and q 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 encumbered 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 its progeny.

~ TELL GOOD CIGARS.
Judges of Their Fine Points Few
and Far Between.

The Judges of good cigars in this
country are few and far between, says
an expert. The great difficulty with
the people who think they know cigars
Is that they lay too much stress on the
color of the weed. The color makes not
the slightest difference. and you are
Just as likely to find one of the rankest
kind of cigars with the deep black col
or of the genuine Havana as you are
to find bad one among those that are
yellow as straw.
The best way to tell a cigar is by
the feel of it. Take a cigar in your
hands and give it gentle pressure,
holding it close to the ear. If the cigar
is a good one, it will be just the least
little bit flexible, and the fingers will
sink into the wrapper. 1t gives forth
no perceptible sound. If the cigar 10
hard and close rolled and when placed
to the ear sounds as though you were
pressing straw together, beware. The
best cigars are made of the same leaf
as the wrapper and are closely rolled
The common cigars are what is known
as filled and contain all kinds of refuse
from the tables where the good cigars
are made. There are some filled cigars
that are good smokes, but you seldom
find a Havana or Manila or good Gu
ban or Key West smoke that IL nc$
rolled. Many people who go into ci,
gar store to get an imported smoke dc
not follow up the salesman when he
takes the cigars from the case and are
consequently often fooled. They are
given domestic brands and are charg
ed imported prices for them.
These "good cigar Judges" cannot
tell the difference when there Is all
the difference in the world. If you must
have an imported s14oke. make the
clerk hand you the box and look close
~ at the revenue stamp. The stamps
on domestic goods are green and white
while those ON the imported boxes are
ell yellow and white. Look into the
next cigar cases you see before puE~
chasing an imported cigar. If they
have no boxes in the case to which is
attached a yellow and white stamp
don't attempt to make purchase. The
clerk will sell you cigar he calls i'm
ported. but it will not be the real ar
ticle.-WashingtOn Post.

AN ILLUSTRATED VILLAGE,
aittIe Swiss Town One of the Quaint.
est In Europe

8itt1e Swiss Town One OF the Qua1m9~
est INA Europe.
When next you go to the Lake Of
Geneva, by all means pay 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 its 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
some striking picture or comical carl
cature from the brush Of a great man
in the village, M. Alfred Begun. a
painter Of local renown and not uD-
known in Paris, says Pearson's Maga
zine.
A house in st. Legier has no use for
a signboard to tell the world that 1t is
an inn, cycle shop, forge or dairy.
Nj. Beguin's picture does that. On
stable wall he draws a picture of
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 dairy
maid balances a 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 a bright picture gal
lery of the village. NJ. 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-

CHINESE WASTE PAPER.
Every Scrap With a Printed Charac~
ter Upon 1t Is Sacred.

ACE NpOM AZ as SGASA~0s
You will never find upon the street
or in the rubbish heap a scrap of pa
per with Chinese characters written
or printed upon it. An intelligent
Chnaman, questioned as to the rea-
son, explained the matter in this way:
"Melican man never tears Up and
flows in stleet his Bible or hymnbook.
Chinee lifting all same to Chinaman as
Mclean mans Bible"
Then he still further elucidated the
mystery by leading the way to the cell
lar of a Race street house, in which,
piled up before a gigantic furnace,
were bundles Of paper and sacks of let
ters and newspapers printed in Chi
nese hieroglyphics.
Interpreted into plain English the old
Chinaman's story was that the orien.
tails regarded the written characters
as so sacred that this furnace was es-
pecially set apart, after being blessed
by the priests, for the incineration OF
all Chinese letters and documents.
So sacred indeed was the Chinese
writing regarded by the orientals that
the most compromising letters of the
highbinders and the private CORE.
spondence of families were left with
confidence in the care Of the furnace
attendant, it being perfectly well
known that he would not risk his i'm
mortal soul by committing the deadly
sin of prying into correspondence CON-
mitted to his care to be given to the
flames.
Nor does the oriental regard the Chi.
nese writing as safe from the hands of
the infidel even when every scrap of it
has been reduced to ashes. After the
paper has been burned the ashes are
carefully collected, and when enough
has accumulated to make a load they
are shipped on board boat belonging
to the Chinese Merchants company,
by which society all such matters are
managed, and taken to sea. where they
are scattered over the surface OF the
ocean.
To the Chinaman 1t is horrifying to
see the white mans newspapers used
Tor wrapping purposes, his letters
scattered around the streets to be
walked on and his old books flung
around when read as though of no
more sacredness than old boots. A
letter. an envelope, the printed slips
extolling the virtues of preserved GIN
ger or the characters that advertise
a~laundry for sale become, after their
usefulness has passed. as sacred as
the gilded ornaments that add to the
glory of the joss.
One man is employed in Chinatown
to collect the waste paper. He calls at
the stores and the rooms and gathers
1t up with the utmost care, tying 1t in
sacks so that not shred shall escape
With his sacred burden he goes to the
furnace room and hands the sacks to
the important parsonage in charge
there, who slows it away ready for the
next burning day. Twice a week the
furnace Is lighted and the sacks Of pa
per solemnly committed to the flames,
with many incantations.-Pht Philadelphia
