are most fascinating / have seen them
quietly emerge from the grass, run
down the side OF the bank into and

under the water their movements are
very rapid. They scrape away on the
bottom with their feet, thrusting their

on which they feed. They then retire

run In and ont of the stream, as If air
and water were both alike to them, and

An Effective "Attachment."

Attaching 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"

An odd affair occurred when | 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 Oh the way, and the adrolt in
mates contriyed 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
mltted Then he allowed fifteen min
utes for the money to be Forthcoming,
vowing that il 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

On the banks Of the Elbe 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 sufficient supply of flies has
been gathered In this way the fires are
extIngulsbed, and the cloths are care
fully raised from the ground and taken
home On the following morning they
are placed in 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 few cents quart TO
dealers In birds, who say that there Is
no better food for nightingales, 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.

of bronze. There Is IL tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds, They are really white, ng,
ates, facetcd. Its name is most elabo-
rately wrought and its retracted, gap
ing mouth and its fierce mustaches give
1t an oriental aspect.
The creature as II now stands belongs
to many different cpochs, varying from
some date previous TO our era down TO
this century. 1t Is conjectured that II
may have originally formed part of
the decoration of some Assyrlan palace.

originally, for it was made to stand
level upon the ground and had to be
raised up in front to allow the cyangel

Under every clock in factory at

bad debts, paint hundreds Of pictures

The habit of putting off disagreeable
duties is responsible for much needless
unhappiness, for these bugbears weigh
on the mind and prevent the satisfied
content that comes from duty well per-
formed. A.ost tasks promptly under
taken prove less difficult than we antic-

often compensates for any hardship ex-

For those whose path through life oncs
lay
Aside thine own familiar way.
Whose friendly aid
Thy stronghold made,
Forget not now to constant pray!
For those who helped thee in the fight
'Gainst pettiness and tyrant might,
Do thou implore
Peace evermore
And resting place in lasting light!
To those the farthest off from bliss
What boon can greater be than this
That thou shouidst pray
For them that they
May soon no CLEAN of glory miss!

BE mindful that ere long they bring
Their need Of praise

And heaV My alleluias sing!

Each soul may plead
