No, not a basilisk; that Is some

All Should Toll.

Ideal social progress requires the
productive activity Of every human
capable of adding to the general total.
This Is Utopian. 1t ought not to be
so much Of a dream, but II will be
what It is 10 long as human nature
remains what 1T is. Men differ so
much. Some acquire laziness and
some are born lazy. But the results
are the same. You even have aristo-
cratic loafers who pull all sorts Of
hereditary stuff In make-believe at
tempts at superiority. They would
have you substitute them, and guaran-
tee their future against want and
work. It's all bosh. They have no
claim upon humanity other than n
right to an opportunity to make good
In the world. Instead of an easy time
they need the prod of necessity. The
lazy few, be they poor or rich, are
the drones of society.-Exchange.

REALLY OF ENGLISH ORIGIN
Punishment by Earring and Feather.
Ing First Instituted by King Rich
ard Many Centuries Ago.

Throughout the English-speaking
world there seems to he a widespread
impression that the punishment Of tar
and feathers is something peculiarly
American and that the practice orig
mated with and Is confined to mobs In
the wilder or more remote sections OF
the United States. But the practice
did not begin IL America and is. in
fact, English in origin.
The first known use OF tar and
feathers was In the British navy 730
years ago. 1t is on record that In
1889 Richard of the Lion Heart, when
about to start on the Third crusade,
ordered that such of his sailors rs
were found guilty Of theft should be
covered with boiling pitch" and
feathers or down be then strewn upon
them.
This ancient employment of boiling
pitch OF course meant death, while
the modern application of pitch heat
ed only enough to run and smear is
not necessarily fatal. The modern
American practice is, therefore, a
more merciful adaptation Of an an
Client British substitute for the usual
hanging of a thief.

Bird Dresses In Spanish Style.

In his distinguishing black on the

Maryland yellow-throat is one Of the
most beautifully marked of any mem
her of his tribe and gives an appear

American Forestry association Of
Washington. There is no mistaking
the song of this bird, and 1t is rendered
in a variety Of ways which make II
sound like any one Of the following
"Which-is-it? which-is-it?" or "What-a-
pity. what-a-pity;" or "Which-way-sirl

fond of thickets by the side OF running

Food LUXURY.

Large Jars of baked clay were used
by the ancient Romans as cages for
dormice.
Why dormice?
To eat, Of course. Dormice were
esteemed a great delicacy by epicures
in those days, and were kept In the
jars while being fattened for the table.
If a theater party was In contempla-
