ParchinG' May Flies.

On the banks of the Elbe a curious
sight may frequently be seen. Men
and women come there in the evening
and light fires, near which they, care
fully spread spacious cloths. In few
minutes swarms of May flies, those del
icate little creatures whose earthly life
lasts only for a few hours, hover around
the fires, and speedily hundreds-nay
thousands-of them are burned and fall
on the cloths.
After a sufficient supply of flies has
been gathered in this way the fires are
extinguished, and the cloths are care
fully raised from the ground and taken
home. On the following morning they
are placed in a garden on sunny spot,
the result being that the bodies of the
flies become thoroughly parched. The
flies are then ready FOR the market and
are sold for a fe7v cents q quart to
dealers in birds, who say that there is
no better food for nightinsales, robins
and other feathered pets. Only the
bodies are used for this purpose, and
therefore before they are sent to mar
ket the utmost pains are taken to see
that all the wings have been removed.

$524.34. This does not include the

larger amount than has ever been in

Spider Fancfes.

An elderly lady who lives in her own
house at Buttes Chaumont, Paris, has
discovered that spiders are peculiarly
appreciative of music. She has made
great pets Of them, and her house is full
of spiders of all kinds, on whom she
spends her time and fortune.
Her proteges are lodged in large,
airy room, where she has provided ev-
cry necessary support for their differ
ent webs. Her great favorites are i'm
mense black spiders, which, with their
hairy legs and great bodies, look very
repulsive to others.
When she is inclined to show off their
capabilities for music, she surrounds
herself with a circle of water to keep
off their too delicate attentions and
plays slowly, softly and in minor key
on the harp. From all corners of the
room the spiders run toward her, lis
tening with evident pleasure, but should
she strike up noisy, gay, inharmont-
GUS strain they scamper back to their
holes as though disguised.
A curious fact in connection with this
story is that the lady bears the birth
mark of a spider

An Effective "Attachment.v

Attaching a mans property for debt
is supposed to be legal process, but
an incident which occurred years ago in
the city Of NatcheZ, as related by Davy
Crockett in his Life and Adventures -
shows that there are other "attach-
ments" which sometimes accomplish
a benefcent purpose.
An odd affair occurred when l was
last at NatcheZ, says Mr.. Crockett. A
steamboat stopped at the landing, and
one of the crew went ashore to pur-
chase provisions. He went into sa-
loon on the way, and the adrOit in
mates contrived to rob him of all his
money. The captain of the boat, de-
termined fellow, went ashore in the
hope of persuading them to refund, but
they declined.
Without further ceremony, the cap
tain, assisted by his crew and passen-
gers, some 300 or 400 in number, made
fast an immense cable to the frame
building where the theft had been COM
mitted Then he allowed fifteen min
utes for the money to be forthcoming,
vowing that if it were not produced
within that time he would put steam
to his boat and drag the house into the
river.
The thieves knew that he would keep
his word and the money was promptly
produced.

One Of Herrmann's Tricks.

Not many months before his dea III
Alexander Hermann, the magician, was
q guest at the famous but now defunct
Whitechapel club the rendezvous of
Chicago Bohemians. On the night in
question a venerable Japanese priest
was present. In the course of q few
tricks Hermann picked up deck of
cards and asked some one to select a
card. The seven of clubs was the card
drawn from the pack, and it was shown
to the spectators, but not to the magi-
clan. The card was replaced in the
deck, which was shuffled and then
handed to one of the spectators.
"Look through the deck, please" said
Hermann.
The holder of the cards did as re-
quested.
''Is the card that was drawn in the
pack?" asked the wizard.
mo SIR" answered the spectator.
"What was the card?'
"The seven of clubs"
"Well, gentlemen" said Hermann,
eff one of you will kindly unlace the
prelate's shoe you will find the card
that has vanished from the pack"
After smiling protest the Japanese
priest unlaced his shoe, and there, to
the amazement of all, was found the
seven spot of clubs.-Rochester Post

First Love.

People who marry while very young
are apt to find out when it is too late
that they have made the greatest mis-
take in their lives and that, though it
may seem very sweet to marry ''the
first and only love-" this same first
love" is the very last person in the
world that they ought to have married.
Some, indeed, may advise couples to
marry before they are out of their teens
and settle down before the distractions
of the world can attempt to shake their
allegiance to each other, but this set
Ting down too often proves to be a
mere temporary phase and is followed
by an unsettled condition that lasts for
the rest Of their unhappy lives. Sec
ond thoughts are often best in love.

MiSf7e1Oo,

The mistletoe comes chiefly from
Brittany. Some 100 tons of the charm
ing white berried plant are exported
from French ports yearly. This mis-
tletoe is to the Breton what the pig is
to the Irishman-it pays the rent. The
peasants of Normandy and Brittany
cultivate the parasite on their apple
trees-contrary to popular belief, it
rarely grows on oaks-and it forms
their most profitable crop. A few
years ago the French department of
agriculture decreed the destruction of
all mistletoe, on the ground that it In
jured the apple trees. The peasants,
however, denied the impeachment, and.
as the order is not enforced, they grow
and export more 'gui" than ever for
the Christmas enlivenment of English
and American homes.

Instinct stronger Than win.

A curious story is told of Darwin and
snakes. He used to go into the Lon
don Geological society's gardens, Re-
gents park, and, standing by the glass
case containing the cobra de capello,
put his forehead against the glass while
the cobra struck out at him. The glass
was between them. Darwin's mind was
perfectly convinced as to the inability
of the snake to harm him, yet he would
always dodge. Time after time ne
tried it, his will and reason keeping
him there, his instinct making MN
dodge. The instinct was stronger than
both will and reason.
