Vitality of the Centiped.

The sight Of a full grown centped Id
said by travellers in tropical lands to be
enough to affect the strongest nerves.
Ten to eleven inches is the average
length, although larger ones have been
seen. Lafcadio Hearn in 1.-TWO Years
In the French West Indies says that
the vitality of the centiped is amazing.
Mr.. Hearn Kept one in a bottle, with
out food or water, for thirteen weeks
at the end Of which time it remained
active and dangerous as ever. Inc
centiped has one natural enemy able 70
cope with him-the hen.
The hen attacks him with delight and
often swallows him, head first, without
taking the trouble to kill him. The cat
hunts him, but she is careful never to
put her head near him. She has a trick
of whirring him round and round upon
the floor so quickly as to stupefy MIN;
then, when she sees q good chance she
strikes him dead with her claws.
. There are superstitions, concerning
the creature which have a good eject
in: diminishing his tribe. If you Kill O.
centiped, you are sure to receive money
soon, and ever if you dream Of killing
enc it is good luck.

Now, Methuselah, during the lat
ter years of his long life, suffered
grievously from rheumatism, but
with the ~obstinacy that was q part of
his nature, refused to do anything
for it. He said he could stand it as
long as the rheumatism could.
One of the neighbors came in one
day with a new patent medicine.
"Grandad," he said, "here is some
thing that will relieve yon. I've
seen a string of testimonials q yard
long from persons it has cured"
"I've no faith in it," replied the
old man. "Besides it's too much
trouble"
Just as I expected" retorted the
other, thoroughly out of patience.
"There's no fool like an old fool"

selah, YEARLY. "T've been hearing

Man is the best friend Of the Dog.
Horses come next, but between the
dog and all other farm animals, from
the house cat to the cow and the beer
steer, there seems to be a natural en-
nifty. Dogs. however, are fond OF
sheep and goats-but as diet, not az
living friends. Cows and sheep ana
goats should be kept as free from as
ISOLATION with dogs as is possible, with
the exception Of the trained shepherd
dog. A dog walking through a COW
pen will often cause a decrease in milk
flow that amounts to more than the
cash value Of the dog. Many dogs are
worth considerably less than $780,

Some Connoissems AppraiSe the Remark
able Collection as High as $25O,OOO.

Following the death of Henry G.
Msndel, an expert engrsver and
chemist, some months ago. his col
lection of stamps of the United
States, which is regarded as n of
the most remarkable and valuable in
the world, has been placed on the
market.
Comprising nineteen large vol
umes, in which there are about TO-
600 pieces, connoiseurs say the price
of the collection may be estimated
at any where from 100000 to $780,
600. rom the first stamp printed
for tho United States Government,
ffty-fve years ago, down to almost
the very last, there are many speci-
mems; in many cases the first proofs
were obtained from the artists, and
the designers or engravers enhanced
the value of the pieces by placing
their autographs on the paper.
When the first issue of stamps
was made, 1874, economy was the
ruling motive, aud instead of en-
craving a new portrait some that
had already been used were cot
down to answer the purpose. This
fact was not generally known, but
Mr.. and Mrs. Mandel hunted up
thousands of old bank notes and
other engravings until the original
source of the design was discovered
and a specimen of the note annexed
to the album. All of these altered
proofs are unique.
The collection shows examples of
the various stages of making some
stamps, from the moment the Post
master General, concluding that a
new stamp is wanted, makes a rough
| sketch of what he desires and turns
it over to an artist, who works up
the idea from several standpoints.
| From these sketches q working mod
ell is made, probably three or four
inches square. This is given to an
engraver and when his work Is com.
pleted q proof is submitted to the
head of the engraving department,
who examines it from a technical
standpoint and probably notes on
the margin instructions to shade one
part, darken others and tighten up
other sections Of the design.

A Visit to the Crater OF the Seeth1nG
Volcano.
There was no life on that bare, black,
birdless cone, and as we climbed an Icy
wind began to blow, and the lava dust
stung the face like hail. The crust was
warm to the feet. l dipped my hand
into an aperture the size Of a rabbit
hole and withdrew it hot and wet. On
every side the smoke eddied up from
tiny craters; but all these things were
details in face Of that everlasting vom-
it of black smoke from the crater.
The wind ragged above us as we drew
near the crater, and the, lava dust spat
more viciously; the sulphurous smoke
hid the world from our view. It was as
if the %lieutenants Of that angry o
arch strove to prevent mortals from
gazing too closely at her Internal or
gies. On hands and knees we grabbed
u way up the cone, coughing, blinded
by the smoke, bufeted by the icy wind.
We reached the verge Of the crater and
threw ourselves on our faces. l peered
for one moment into that caldron OF
fire and smoke. The guide clutched

him round the edge Of the crater. l

But he did not hear. He could not have
