NAL Kingdom four are insects, Of which
there are 100000 species. In human
world of that sort for every gigantic
man there would be four pygmies and
Of the pygmies 100000 distinct races
These pygmies would be made up Of a
head, middle body and hind body
each of which would be composed of
hard, shell-like rings, and because their
bodies We're thus divided or insected
they might be called insects. Their
legs would grow out Of either the mid.
die body or the hind body. They would
breathe through holes in the middle
body and eat, drink, see, smell, with
all kinds Of apparatus made for the
purpose in various and often widely
separated parts Of the body. If some
Of these pygmies were young, weighed
a pound and ate like Il silkworm, they
would In two months devour forty-five
tons Of food. 1t is scarcely remarkable,
therefore, what millions Of grasshop-
pers will do to a cOrnfeld or gypsy
moths to an apple orchard.

Another Triumph of Art.

A young New York artist says that
he was in Vermont on a sketching trip
one summer. One day while strolling
along a pretty lane he overlook a par.
Hcularly picturesque little fellow who
was sauntering along with a fishing
pole on his shoulder and a string OF
small fish in his hand. He looked SO
much the part of the small country boy
Of poetry and fiction that the artist de
cided he would like to make sketch
Of him, and after considerable negotia-
ton this was arranged for, the lad, in
accordance with directions, perching
himself on a rail fence. AS the artist
worked away at his sketch an old coun.
tryman came down the lane and stood
looking over his shoulder. -
by gum! Thet certainly beats all
hemlock| the old fellow presently ex-
claimed admiringly. :.
Like the picture, do you?'' the artist
asked, with a pleased flush. - =

Talleyrand as Cook.

Be cook-some sort of cook, even a
ships cook. Remember Talleyrand.
The British authorities gave him TWEEN
ty-four hours notice to quit London,
and he embarked on Danish vessel
for America. The vessel was held up
at sea by an English frigate. A
searching party was sent on board.
Talleyrand pleaded with the captain
not to declare him, as he had no liking
for the Tower of London. 81 will pass
you off as the ships cook" said the
officer. There is nothing else" After
some wry faces the prince consented
and with very i'll grace assumed the
cotton cap, kitchen apron, carving
knife and other appendices in keeping
with his new Office When the English
officer demanded If there were any
French passengers on board the cap
tain replied, eyes, one poor devil Of a
limping French cook" Being immedi-
ately called up for inspection, Talley-
rand made his appearance, saucepan in
hand and with such piteous counte-
nance that the Englishman laughed
heartily and consented not to make q
captive Of him.-New York Press

To Tell a Fashionable Restaurant

To Tell q Fashionable Restaurant.
when was young" said an old
bachelor, Eat all the fashionable res
taurants you wrote your order That
was the way to distinguish the really
fashionable restaurant. You wrote your
order there, whereas in the common
one you gave it to the waiter orally.
Ordering is difficult matter. It is a
thing, especially when one has guests,
that one is likely to get flustered over;
hence l always liked to write my or
der. 1t kept me cool. But waiter,
standing over me, suggesting dishes I
didn't want, hurrying me, had the
power to rattle me completely. But
fashionable restaurants no longer are
to be distinguished by this writing
business. Writing has disappeared
from them. They are to be distin-
guished now by their French menus
bothersome things that call a sweet
bread a ris de veau, a potpie a vol au
vent and leg Of mutton gigot"-

Ringing In the Ears.

= Ringing in the ears is most pc
culiar condition. It Is interesting to
learn that, though the brain so dis
tinctly receives an impression Of sound,
there is really no sound at all. The
sensation is produced by arrangement
Of the nerves of the ear, caused by
poor .circulationA or such pressure and
interference as come from hardened,
excessive wax, boils, etc. Some one
oddly remarked that when the ears
were ringing they were insane ~
Truly, they carry wrong Impressions to
the brain. They record things that do
not happen.

Why the Indians Masked.

among the North American Indians
the origin of the use of masks lay"
says a writer, "in the desire to conceal
the emotions. Thus should two war
riors meet in combat the mask con-
ceals any expression, whether or SYM
patty, fear or other emotion. For in
stance, the knowledge that fear was
depleted on ones face and that his
antagonist knew it would very pos
sibly insure the defeat Of the one
whose feelings were betrayed to the
other. So in religious ceremonies the
orator wears a mask that he may
speak his inspired words without in
reference or embarrassment, either of
which might arise were his personality
not thus yelled. He must not be over
awed by anything, a condition which
might ensue If he were recognized by
friends, relatives or enemies. who
might scott at him. When masked the
orators duty Is merely to listen to the
inspiration which comes without eff
fort through the medium Of the spirit.
And since tbs inspiration might seize
any of the tribe at such times all come
masked"

GOOD

In his annual report submitted to
Governor Stokes r. G. Hutchinson,
New Jersey commissioner Of public
roads, suggests novel plan for deal
ing with automobiles, which in the
Last year or two IL is claimed have
played havoc with the improved roads
that have long been the pride Of Jer-
seymen. The commissioner urges the
taxing Of automobiles on the basis Of
their destructive power TO the public
highways, the measure Of which he
thinks should be the maximum speed
Of which each machine Is capable. The
justification for such a method Of tax
alton is that owners Of automobiles
should be charged, as nearly az posi-.
bic, for the actual damage they do 20
the roads Unless somo limitation is
enforced the commissioner believes
that much Of the money which has
spent by the state in the improve
ment II the roads will be wasted.
The report further recommends the
licensing Of chauffeurs and the passage
Of law prohibiting tho use Of ar.
mored tires, chain tires and blowers,
all Of which add to the destructive
forces Of the automobile. In discuss
ing the subject, Commissioner Hutch
inson saysi
"The automobile is now a recognize.
ed means Of conveyance, and a. such
