EccentrIcIties of Genius.

Paul Verlaine, modern French
poet, was a genius whose life was
passed in alternate stages of religious
ecstacy and deplorable excuses. After
1870 he led the traditional bohemian
life in Paris, then disappeared for
eleven years. In 1881 he appeared in
the public eye as quasi Catholic with
his "Sageese." perhaps his best-known
work. From this time to his death in
1896 Verlaine remained. except for
brief intervals. among the cafes of
the Latin quarter, drinking absinthe,
carousing and writing verse and jour.
naliStic articles.

Under the social ideals OF China
every man Is anxious to marry, but
no man is permitted to seek wife
for himself. The contract Of marriage
Is always made by third party. and
often q man finds himself bound to an
imbecile, insane or chemically dis
eased wife, whose father has paid the
marriage broker high price to get
her q husband.

Greedy for Wasps.

The common green frog has been
discovered to- possess an insatiate
greed for wasps. This extraordinary
appetite does not seem to be in the
least checked by an occasional sting.
The protecting color Of the frog, which
lies mOtiohless upon leaves, no doubt
deceives the most wary Of insects into
sense Of security.

Chinese gardeners sometimes plant
statuettes- of tiny men firmly In pots,
