A Peculiarly of .ynua

Nothing in the vegetable world would
seem to retain it's excellence for any
length of time. 1t is bamboo country,
and everything reverts to the bamboo.
Beautiful lush grass covers many
plain, and yet it gives no nutriment to
cattle. Garden vegetables look as fine
as any grown in the United States, but
when cooked they have DO ta~c. The
lowers are of gorgeous hues, but they
are without perfume.
But even with these imperfections
it is very interesting Garner of the
earth. and many things recommend 1t.
Its inhabitants are in their way fine
people. In the rural districts particu-
arly the natives are the most honora-
bile beings ever met. In the cities
they are sharper mentally, but not
nearly so scrupulOus."

Cues rs Life prcSerVcrS.

The fashion of wearing the hair in Il
cue commenced to wanc in the latter
part of the seventeenth century. AS
we think now of those queer pigtail
appendages it seldom occurs to us that
they could have been of any use eX-
cept as an index to human folly. 1t
appears. however. that occasionally
they were Il very important part OF a
ecntleman'S person. as may be inferred
from the following complaint published
in England at the time the faShiona
blcS commenced to cut their hair:
"rhn bathcrs of Brighton complain
bitterly of the trouble they have IN
pulling young gentlemen out of the sea
since they have cut of their cues. TIL
one OF those dockcd faShionabies is
drowned from this circumstance the
rage for cropping will not die out

Wonders In Nature.

A thousand wonders in nature are
lost to the human eye and only reveal
ed to us through the microscope. Think
of dividing Il spiders web into a thou
sand strands or counting the arteries
and nerves in the wing of Il gossamer
moth! Yet by the powerful lens Of a
microscope it is found there are more
than 1000 muscles in Il caterpillar.
The eye of drone contains $4,000 mir
rors, and the body of every spider is
furnished with four little Jumps pierced
with tiny holes. from each of which is
sues single thread and when Il thou
sand of these from each lump are join
ed together they form the single line
of which the spider spins its web and
which we call Il spiders thread. Spi-
derS have been seen as small as a grain
of sand. and these spin Il thread so fine
that it takes 1000 of them put together
to equal in size Il single human hair.

About the year 1890. at Jena. where
the west gate of the city j. remark
able for four images Of mon,.ey heads,
cut in stone at each corner of the gate,
Il quarrel arose between the students
of the university and the citizens. dur
ing which the gOwnsmen called the
gate watchmen monkey watchmen."
TO avenge this insult the N.,tchmen
killed one of the students, Tc.ose flu
neral sermon was preached from the
text, 1.-The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson From that time the towns
people were called by the students
"Philstines," and this use of the word
spread to other places.
In another explanation. 4hven as
early as 1777 by Adelung. reference is
made to the Balistarii. or crossbow-
men. who were called in Hungary,
Philstaei. and to the municipal SOL
diers of Vienna, who had the nickname
Philsters as early as the seventeenth
century.
The word was brought into promi-
nent notice in England by Matthew
Arnold, who appears to have adopted it
from Heine. BY Philistine he meant
"a strong, logged, unenlightened OPP
ponent. like Goliath, of the chosen peo-
pie. of the children Of sweetness and

A veracious chronicler of the times
of Jonathan Edwards gives figures
which prove a liberal consumption of
fuel in the household of the great theO,
town Of Northampton supplied the Ed
wards parsonage with seventyfvc
loads Of wood. In the next season
eightytwo loads were delivered. For
the succeeding winter the total was
seventy-eight, and year afterward the

Of fire at the Edwards hearth. Is it
