In an open-mouthed bottly partly filled
with water. The water must be
changed once a week and spoonful
Of blood poured in about as often,
When the weather is good, the leeclr
will remain coiled up at the bottom
of the bottle. Whenever rain is near
at hand, 1t will creep up to the top
and stay there until the weather is
settled again. If wind is imminent, it
will be very restless and dart about
in the water as though in pain, while
before a thunderstorm it will appear
to be in commissions. 1t is so gener-
ally trusted that at haying time and
other seasons, when fine weather is
important, the leech is one of the
most useful members Of the house

JACKSON AND HIS BACON.


In a recent issue of Harper's Weekly
appeared an interesting account OF An
drew Jackson's duel with Colonel Az
cry. A correspondent of the Weekly,
writing IN the last issue adds this to
the story:
1t was Jackson's habit to carry in
his saddle-bags when he attended court
4 copy of ''Bacon's Abridgement." and
to make frequent appeals to it in his
cases. This precious book was always
carefully done up in coarse brown
paper, and the unwrapping of the vol
ume was a very solemn function as
performed by Jackson who was then
only twenty-one years old. Avery, dur
ing the trial which preceded the duel.
procured a piece of bacon the size of
the book, and while Jackson was ad-
dressing the court he slipped out the
volume from its wrapping and substi-
tuted the bit of pork.
At length Jackson had occasion to
appeal to Lord Bacon. While still talk
ing he raised the bearskin flap of his
saddle bags, drew out the brown-paper
package, carefully united the strlng,
unfolded the paper with decOrOus gray
ity, and then, without looking at what
he held in his hand, exclaimed trlum-
phantly, 1--WE will now see what Bacon
saysr'
What wonder that the fiery young
lawyer blazed with anger, while the
court room rang with laughter at his
expense!

For A simnIe Burial.

Rev. Charles Wagner has been talk
ing deal about the simple life, but
Rev. Father Mclaughlin of Adams is
advocating the simple burial. The
great evil among his. parishioners is
not that they are living beYnnd their
means, but that they are dying too
extravagantly. Accordingly he has
placed limit on floral offerings at
funerals, on the number of hacks to
be used, ETC., so that poor man can
actually afford to die. without con-
signing his friends and relatives to
bankruptcy court; and the Adams
situation does not exist exclusively
in that town either.-Haverhill Ga

A WITTY DIPLOMAT.

Hon. Joseph II. Choate, our Ambas-
sador to Great Britain, was one of the
a~,e"-s'untlaV guests at certain great
country house, and found next to nm
at breakfast very young, very mex
perlenced, but also very pretty, daugh-
ter of his native land. The English
custom of serving boiled eggs in tiny
cups, from which one eats out of the
egg itself, troubled this little traveller
immensely, and at last, with gasp
of dismay, she turned to the diplomat
with:
"Oh, Mr.. Choate, whatever shall l
do? I've dropped an egg!
"Cackle, my dear cackle," came the
answer.

In England authors of distinction
have, rightly or wrongly, come to be
regarded as sort of Brahmin class,
and to use their reputation for such
purpose as booming a hair-wash,
should mean, and rightly so, to lose
caste. 1t is very different thing to
rise from the ranks of tradesmen into
the eminence which literary success
bestows. Shakespeare was theatri-
cal manager; Samuel Richardson was
a printer. The instances are innumer-
able in which distinguished writer's
have derived a large portion of their
income from some trade or profession
outside of literature, but an era of
Marie Corellis liver pills and Hall
Gaines corn cure is a horror from
which we may earnestly pray to be de-
livered.-The Bystander.

The PhilIppines.

The Philippine Islands are bunch
of trouble situated in the Far East,
within rumor distance Of the va, z z! , 4
bies. They ye bounded on the north
by floating torpedoes, phantom squad
Tons and Port Arthur; on the east
by Gods country 5000 miles away;
on the south by Thursday island, Aus
tralia, and Harry Richards concert
halls, and on the west by the China
Sea, typhoons and Hong Kong.
Rich in natural resources, the ISL
ands promise fair future, which, like
the tabled will-o'-the-wisp, is ever just
beyond the reach of the optimistic in
habitant. Rain falls abundantly dur
ing IA months of the year, while the
rest of the time the sun shines with
a splendor unequalled in any part of
the world, except Panama.
Agriculture being the principal re-
creation, the islands manage to raise
enough foodstuffs to supply a tenth
part Of the inhabitants. Other neces-
sites are imported Tobacco growing
provides the natives with enough mon
Sy to purchase matches, perfumery
and cheap jewelry, While the foreign
element live on each other and their
expectations.
The exports are deported Ameri-
cans, hemp (to hang with, broken
down soldiers, Doisy Harcourt and
Probasco, while the imports are AIS
tralian actresses.
AT the present rate of consumption
the imports have the best of the deal,
but it is believed that the exports will
increase considerably during the next
years.-The Manila Sun.

his career in this country at street
work, and who became a rich CONTRACT
tor died recently. The widow-who,
since her rise to wealth, had put on So
ciety airs and cast off many of her old
frlends-came into the room in which

piece was an anchor. The widow
gazed upon it, The idea that some Of

As to Goldfish.

There are some creatures apparently
born to have a bad time, says the
Ladies' Pictorial, and goldfish are Ger.
tninly Of the unlucky number. Some
times hundreds of the poor things,
fresh from the steam-heated mlllponds.
where their breeding is often quite an
industry, get violently dOuched by a
fshmongers hose, by icy-cold water
dashing into the glass tank, or, still
worse into the little globes in which
they are stuffed by dozens. Light is
not a fish's idea Of satisfaction; the
calm green twilight at the bottom OF
n pond is what he chooses.
Most of the goldfish bought and kept
for time in little globes die, because
people think they can live on the ami
malculae in tap water--a fatal mistake.
l would not pay it the compliment Of
denying the existence Of microbes, but
they will not sustain any fish in glass,
Crumbs make the water sour, and then
changing 1t bruises and worries the
fish. 1t is kind not to keep fish at all
unless they can have good-sized
aquarium with thick layer of loan
at the bottom in which vallisneria-
best of water weeds-should be planted
weeks before the fish are put in; on the
loan an inch or two Of gravel, and then
filtered rainwater, never to be changed,
but to be added to now and again as it
wastes. Gnat larvae are, in their sea-
son, the best goldfish food; failing
these, ants cocOons, or small meat.
worms, always procurable from bird
shops, are tempting to the tishy palate.
