Tail of the Fiery Orauon.

One of the pecuiaritieS of the an.
cient writer's on natural history sub
jects was the implicit faith which they
placed in the genuineness of the vari-
Gus basllisk and dragon stories which
were told to them. Brunette, for an
instance to the point, relates with all
soberness that the basiliSk is the king
of serpentS. He wears white crest
upon his head. and such Is the abun
dance of his venom that the air l.
poisoned wherever this dire reptile
passes. Trees in which he makes his
home exhale such 4 poisonous odor
that birds in flying over are so over
come with 1t that they fall TO the
ground dead.
The dragon" says the same au-
thor, lis the very largest of serpents
and inhabits especially India and ETH
opia. When he flies out of the caverns
in which he makes his home he fur
rows the air with such violence as to
make 1t CLEAN with fire. His mouth is
small, and he has not the power to in
flict deadly wounds with his teeth
In his tail. however, his power lies.
and with it he can instantly strange

In Durham any misbehaving boy was
punished publicly after the service was
over. We would nowadays scarcely
seat twenty or thirty active boys to-
gether In church if we wished them
to be models of attention and dignitied
behavior, but after the boys seats
were removed from the pulpit stairs

FLOATING Farms Of China.

Like the wood merchants of northern
Russia, who carry their wood on great
RATS to Mini Novgorod, Kazan and As
trakhan, the farmers of the upper and
central regions along the Yangtsekiang
construct RATS covering as much as
two acres Of surface, and on the RATS
they establish farms, where produce
grows. On these great floating farms
are habitations for the men and sta
bles for the animals, pigpens, feed
barns and storehouses well stocked
with provisions. The voyage to mar
ket is often 1000 miles, and to employ
their time on the slow journey the
jewellers on the RATS make baskets
and many objects Of household use.
Arrived at their destination, they sell
their produce. take apart and sell the
RATS and return to their homes by the
ways used by ordinary travelers.-Har'
