Among the eastern nations the begin ling of school life Is a critical time for the child. The priest or astrologer must lie consulted to choose a lucky iluy. Every precaution must he taken to avert the Jealousy o f the gods, whose malice la especially directed against a line lioy. The rhlnese father who adores his sou will take the utmost pains to con vince the powers o f the air that the boy Is of no account. The child may lie given a despicable name, like flea or cliutze, a pig, or. more Insulting still, he may be given a girl's name. The boy may be started off to school wearing a girl's dress and one earring, and If the deception is complete this will be the most effectual of all. for even the gods do not care for girls In China.

Reptiles are eaten with eagerness all over the world. Neither want of beau ty nor abundance of venom protects them from omnivorous man. Although they suggest to us by form and motion all that Is false and unfair, hideous and horrid, even God’s curse of the ser pent does not shield It. and from the humble frog o f tlie pond to the colossal crocodile of Egypt they are all only so much food for men. Old Mexicans loved the speckled salamander and ate It with Spanish pepper. The Spaniards learned the odd fashion, and the habit has not entirely died out. Vipers are a favorite dish with Italians. The liz ards of this continent are a most deli cate dish, and the Iguanas of the An tides were carried to South Carolina In great numbers, the rice fields of that state being well suited to them. Snakes And n ready market in many eastern countries. The giant of Java, which Infests the pepper plantations and whose venom Is fatal, is a favor ite. The huge boa-constrictor furnishes an exceedingly fat meat, aDd the negroes o f Its native country prefer it to the daintiest food o f the white man. The anaconda o f Brazil supplies the table o f the poor, though the Portuguese use only the rich fat It produces. South American natives eat almost every kind o f snake, and the far west has tnught many a fastidious palate from over the sea to relish the fatal rattlesnake o f our own country. Snake eating is more common In the United States than one would imagine. Honr tlie I n d i a n « Dnn. I N S E C T MIMICS. C lev e r D l « ( n l « r « That Save f r o m T h e i r K n e n il r a , Them A well known nultirullst tells us of an Insect In Nicaragua so completely disguised as a leaf that u whole host of the nuts who prey u|sm It actually ran across It without recognizing it a* their food. Mr. Hcluter noted in Mouth America another Insect, one of the membra ridae, which not only mimicked the leaf cutting ant for Its own protec tion. but, like its model, carried In Its jaws a fragment of leaf about the aiz* of a dime. Even more wonderful ia tlie disgulst of the mantis o f Java, which turns Itself Into so exact a semblance of an orchis flower that the Insects upon which It feeds visit it In hope of » feast, but remain to furnish one. The liellconldie butterflies, which nre avoided by all insect eating creatures, are exactly Imitated hy another class which are so good to eat that if they did not assume a protective dlsguis« they would he extirpated, and they dt so to such perfection that even exiwrl naturalists sometimes cannot distill gnish them. Another authority men tions a small beetle which turned Itself Into so good a copy of a wasp that ii* was afraid to touch it with his fingers. H r. I l a r t l r t t nnd S a r s a r r l Fu ller. In regard to brilliant Margaret F al ler the following story is told by Sen ator Hoar In his réminiscences ; "Old Dr. Bartlett, a very excellent and kind old doctor, though rather gruff iu man ner. could not abide her. About mid night one very dark, stormy night tin doctor wns called out o f bed by a sharp knocking at the door. He got up and put bis head out of tlie win dow and said: ‘Who's there? What do you want?’ He was answered by a voice In the darkness below. 'Doctor, how much camphor can anybody take by mistake without Its killing them? to which the reply was. 'Who's taken It?* And the answer was. 'Margaret Fuller.’ The doctor answered in great wrath. ‘A peck.' ” B ine M ou ntain T ea. The foliage and flowers of all the goideurods. says the Philadelphia Press, are imbued with an astringent principle and are moderately stimulant, so that their suitability for the manu facture of a domestic tea was recog nized by the American colonists as loug ago as when George III. was king over them. One species, the fragrant leaved goldenrod. known sometimes as Blue Mountain tea. possesses in addition the flavor of licorice.

Satire Is always dishonest, for It is al ways the expression o f hatred for :» thing hopelessly coveted. Who satirizes humanity? None bnt lie who. not hav ing the common human advantages, D obsessed with admiration o f them. Who satirizes plutocracy? The pauper, who is warmed by tbe notion of wealth. Who satirizes aristocracy?
