THRAsHlNG SERVANTS.

Domestic Life In England In the
 Time of Henry VIII.
 In that remarkably minute chronicle of domestic life in England in the time of Henry VIII., Tusser's Five Hun dred Points of Good Husbandry," the learned and pious author seems to take it for granted that the only way of dealing with maidservants is to thrash them unmercifully. He tells us in his inimitable dOggerel that "a maid must be forced to be cleanly" or she is Co be made to cry creak." Mattresses are advised "to go about with a holly wand in their hand, although they may not always have occasion to use it, and to pay home when they fight'-that is to say, thrash-"but not to be always chidlng." As regards the laundry, the domestic serfs are warned to take heed when they wash or run in the lash and to wash well, wiring well and beat well, so that if any lack beating 1t will be themselves"
 As for the unhappy Cicely, the dairy maid, she is to cry "creak"-that Is to say. to be thrashed-if her cheese Is 'hoven' or putfed up, and if the cheese be tough Cicely is to have "a crash" If the cheese be spotted Clcely is to be amended by the bayes, and if it be too full of whey the wretched dairymaid is to have "a dressing" Finally, it any maggots are found in the cheese, mistress is to be at Cicely by and by"

The open air career of the seventeen year locust is soon completed though in its dormant and earlier form it Is said to live underground for seventeen years. feeding on roots.

 With pcrfcc, regularity at the end nf the allotted poricd myriads of these insects attain maturity and emerge from their long imprisonment, when for d month pr so the winged male sings his strIElng song of courtship, while the female busies herself with laying eggs.
 There Is continuous record for lbout two centuries of the recurrence or the cicada at these seventeen year Intervals. The first note on the subject yas made in l715.

\ S,nnm nerlnninE.

Long before the Revolution a young printer in Philadelphia, when he had taken off his working apron at night used to sit boring over his dozen of old volumes by frelight. He soon knew them by heart and hungered for more. But books were costly, and he had but little money.
 He had eight or ten cronies, young men who, like himself, were eager for knowledge. Ranging his books on a shelf, he invited his friends to do the same, that each of them might have the benefit of them all.
 Ben Franklin thus laid the founda- tion of the first circulating library in this country.

whr Kittr Is aPnsn.o

A great many years ago the people of Egypt who had many idols, worshiped the cat among others. They thought she was like the moon, because she was more active at night and because her eyes changed like the moon. So they made an idol with a cats head and named it Pasht. The same name they gave to the moon, for the word means ''the face of the mOon." The word has been changed to "Pas" and "Pus' and has come at last to be Fuss" the name the most of us give to the cat.-Bostdn Transcript.

THE ANCESTRAL TREE.
Its Branches May Be Widespread For
 Some Future Americans.

It. Branches May He Widespread For
 Some Future Americans.
 "Speaking of heterogeneiucs and the homogeneousness of the same, if one may say 1t, the American, say 800 years from now, may have some uOu- ble in tracing the lines of his family tree" said a thoughtful man. At any rate, judging from the progress the United States is making, there Is a chance for a few difficulties along this line. In the erstwhile, and even now. the job was comparatively simple. It was and Is simply question of going back to the days of the Revolution, colonial, days, the days of the white hsired grand danes But the American of the future will have no such simple task. Ones family tree must branch out and expand with the country. For instance, the men and women of the future will have to trace their lines through an ancestry thus geographical ly given: Indian, Mexican, American, Hawaiian, Porto Rican, Cuban, Philip pinian, Panamaian and Alaskan. And yet these are only a few of the pos abilities which might be mentioned in the same connection and for the same reason. Uncle Sam is an expansive sort of fellow, and just where he will quit one may not guess even in the wild recklessneSs of ones fancy. The American of the future may be put to the dire extremity of showing sOTe sort of remote ancestry association with even the lynx eyed far eastern ers."-New Orleans Times-Democrat

LITTLE MOUSE WAS DRUNK.
But HiIarity Caused by Wine Cost
Him His Life.

From the New York Times.
Generally when mouse or a rat
sees it's mortal enemy, the cat, it is
filled with an almost paralyzing ter
ror," observed the man who lives in the
suburbs, but the other day my family
witnessed a curious case in which a
wee mouse seemed to welcome the cat
in a spirit of comradeship. Perhaps the
cat found it's natural instincts too
strong; perhaps it was a temperance
cat, shocked at the disgraceful con-
dition of the mouse. At any rate,
pussy refused to reciprocate the friend
ly feeling shown by the mouse-and
gobbled it down. That the mouse was
unable to recognize it's natural foe was
because the mouse was intoxicated with
wine-strange as that may seem.
1--WE had been bothered recently by
mice in our cellar. Our cat, with the
proper spirit toward mice, had spent
lot - time trying to catch one, but it
W easy for a little mouse to scam
pc acre a cat could not follow that
puss didn't meet with any success. On
the evening of my story we heard
crash, as of broken glass, in the cellar.
There goes one of my bottles of
wine" said to my wife.
"A few minutes later we heard a
series of squeaks from the cellar. At
first we didn't pay much attention to
them, but when they continued the Gu
riosity of the family, and especially of
the cat, was stirred. So the cat and 1
entered the cellar. There, on the floor,
was the fallen bottle, smashed to frag-
ments Beside it, perched on his hind
legs, a mouse was uttering joyful
squeaks and occasionally dipping his
head to take a drink out Of puddle of
wine on the floor.
MIR. Mouse had drunk so much that
he was friendly with all the world. In
stead of running away he just gave a

had at first consented did not give him
as much as he felt he was entitled to
as the sole possessor Of the secret?
The First Victim.
And that in this state of mind he
should make a proposition to his par
ticular friend, Van Niekerk, that they
should cut adrift from their compan-
ions and divide what diamonds they
found between themselves? If Van
Niekerk were honest-and such APP
pears to have been his reputation
this would invariably have led to a
quarrel. And Swartz, having a loaded
gun in his hands and in imagination
a bucketful of diamonds, what would
follow is easily surmised. A shot
and the old Kaffir chiefs hidden hoard
had claimed its first victim.
That the story of the hidden treasure
was not all a myth and that Swartz
was on the right track is shown by
the fact that two members Of the party
admitted they had found a parcel of
diamonds That was after Van Me
kerk had been killed and Swartz
was making himself scarce and they
were ostensibly seeking his body.
They found the diamonds by spotting
the signs that Swartz had told them
to look out for. But on the ground
that they did not wish to incriminate
themselves-for by the laws of the
Transvaal the possession of diamonds
thus acquired would be unlawful-they
declined to give details and said that
they had buried the diamonds again.
With hard times in the Transvaal
the prospect of finding some of Maya
to's bucketful of diamonds is likely
to start large numbers treasure-hunt-
ing. And other tragedies are more
than likely to follow.
