The explanation Of the origin Of that
remarkable organism, the cockatrice,
leaves nothing to be desired as regards
accuracy OF detail. We are told that
swhen the cock is past seven years old
an egg grows within him, whereat he
greatly wonders We can well mag
inc the dismay Of any well conducted
masculine bird of that age on finding
himself in such compromising pre-
dicament, but how did he commune
cate his feelings to the historian? That
the embryonic cockatrlce had some
mysterious power of self advertise
ment Is evident, for we hear further
that "a toad privily watches him and
examines the nest every day to see If
the egg be yet laid When the toad
finds the egg he rejoices much and at
length matches it. bringing forth an an
imal with the head, neck and breast of
cock and from thence downward the
body of a serpent."-Pall Mall Gazette.

SETTLED CASE RIGHT THERE.
Revenue Officers Argument cogent
and AII-convinclng.

Miss Dorothea Klumpke. the as
tronomer, was talking about the DIFF
iculties and intricacies that astrono
my presents TO the lay mind.
For instance" she said, there Is
the well-known case of the meteorite
that fell on a Vermont farm In '96. II
was a valuable meteorite, and the
landlord at once stepped up and claim
ed It. All minerals and metals on
he land belong to me, he said. That's
in the lease.
But the tenant demurred. This
meteorite.' he said wasn't on the
farm, you must remember, when the
lease was drawn up
THE landlord perceived the justice
of that claim. He thought moment.
Then he said decisively: I claim her
as flying game
But the tenant was ready for him.
She's got neither wings nor feathers
he said. Therefore, as ground game,
she's mine
They continued their argument
and in the heat of 1t revenue officer
arriving with truck proceeded to put
the meteorite aboard. I claim her for
the government he said, as an article

Anecdote of Pericles.

Democracy was new thing to the
Athenians, and they became so dread
fully swelled over it that Pericles was
at his wits end what to do with
them.
IF It were not for the plain people
politics would be easy" he was often
heard to complain.
Finally, in his desperation, he con-
suited the Delphic oracle.
Give the plain people plenty OF
rope" was the yelled answer of the
pythoness, "and leave the rest to the
gods"
Pericles was sorely puzzled. But on
his way back to Athens, he purchased
a cigar of the boy on the train, and 1t
was a Connecticut cigar.
81 wonder II this can be the rope the
oracle meant?" he suddenly exclaimed
after he had smoked awhile.
It could be, and was. To make a
long story short, great political Sc
cret had come to light, and from that
time forth Pericles had pretty much
his own way in everything.-P.uck.
