One of (lie Brut imlurulisu who de voted ttiRDiHelTea to watching- Bona. wltb stit'b niliT08eoK aa were ibeo avallutile. was I-ecuwetilioek, a Dutch man, who lived at the end of theneverj- teenlh century. Leeuwenhoelc dlsoov ered thitt a small mite fed on the flea. tnd It was this dlxcovery wblcb In spired Swift's familiar lines: Bo. naturalists observe, a flea Hath smaller fleas that on him prey. And these have smaller still to bit 'em. And so proceed ad Infinitum. The flea's parasite, however, to be accurate, is not another flea or even another Insect, but Is a mite Classed anions the surcoptldne. Lin nneus, wrltlnj; In 1758, described only two species of flea. The first, wblcb was the bumnn flea, be rightly named Pulcx Irrltnns. The second was the chigoe of hot countries. To this, on account of its burrowing habit, be gave the name of Pulex penetrans. At the present day about 400 different species of fleas have been described and named by the small band of scien tific men who bnve devoted themselves to their study. Most of these have been dlscovenxl within quite recent years, so It Is probable that many new forms arid vnrletles will be collected and observed. -Harold Russell In Lon don National Review. OLD TIME HAT STAMPS. Death Used to Ba the Penalty In Eng land For Forging Them. Hats have lu England been subject to very severe protective enactments. The blocked beuver hat, for Instance, Imported by Sir Walter Raleigh from the Low Countries, won its way so rapidly that in 1571 Queen Elizabeth passed an a t to protect the making of "thrummed" caps, made from wool, for the advantage of the landed pro prietors. whoKe sheep furnished the material. The statute provided that every male person "shall on Sundays and holidnvs wear on bis bead a cap of velvet wool made In England, pen alty, 3s. Cd. per day. About a century later the law, for which there Is nothing too blgb or too low, having tnxed men's shoes, turned Its attention once more to their bats and soon put n check on all Improve ments In the trade by requiring every vender of hits to take out a license under a heavy penalty. Subsequently a stamp duty was Imposed on all bats. which were ollicially marked inside where the maker's name now appears. The penalty for selling a bat without a stamp, wits 10, ana the peuaity for forging a hat stump was death, whence, no doubt, the modern custom of the man who goes to church, sits down, looks into his hat to read bis maker's name! London Chronicle. A QUICK CHANGE. The Sweat Taffy That Came After the Cold Roast. "Suy. Jen." said Kuile, the brunette, wltb while side combs In her hair. "I see Mamie bus bleached her bair again. AJu't It terrible?' "Yes. perfectly awful!" replied Jen nie. "She asked me If 1 would do It if I were she. and I said 'yes.' Don't she look KTfectly dreadful and lt' yetting streaked already. You could tell in a minute It was bleached, tbe roots are so dark." "Sure. 1 noticed that!" responded Katie. "And. say, did you see tbe rag of a dress she bad on yesterday? And It's fit gracious! Looked perfectly dreadful, didn't It?" Perfectly dreadful," echoed Jennie. 'Well, she wanted pattern, and I gave her tbe one of that dark blue silk bad three years ago," said Katie. "You did?" "Yes. I did." "Ob!" , "And tbe bat she was wealing." con tinued Katie. "Did you get your optics on that?" "Yes." "Perfect sight, wasn't it?" "Where did she get it?" "Ob. down at the Moody's. I helped ber pick It out." was Katie's renly. Why, why. here comes Mamie now," she contlnix-d. "Hello. Mamie, you dear, sweet thing! How nice you look too darling for anything!" 'Y'es. Indeed." added Jennie. "You do look perfectly charming. Say, let' all go and get some soda." And tbe tbree friends walked away together. New York Times. PROCRASTINATION. The the An English Sanctuary. Beverley minster. INI miles north of Loudon, is the shrine of St. John of Beverley, who died iu the year 721. In 038 AtbelHtan. king of England, gave several privileges to tbe monastery, one being the privilege of sanctuary. This was not merely for man slaying; It was ommi to all wrongdoers except those who had lieen guilty of treason. For ordinary offenses, such as horse stealing, cattle stealing, being back ward In a otitits or liclng In receipt of suspected goods, a man came Into sanctuary nbont a mile from the mon astery or church. There used to be four crosses on tbe main roads lending to Reverley marking the limit of the ren. in cases of manslaughter and murder It was not sulllcleut to be with in one of these crosses. Before the fugitive could claim sanctuary he must enter ihe church and seat himself in stone chair known as the "frld stool" or "freed chair." To this place many fled for refuge from all parts of the country. Appropriate. The worshipers In a certain cbnpel hod some trouble to keep their faces straight a short time ago. During tbe service some commotion was caused by a gentleman who accidentally Ig nited a box of wax matches In bis pocket and was trying to put them out, while bis alarmed neighbors strug gled equally hard to help him. Tbe minister, being shortsighted, could not make out the reason of the disturb ance, nnd. thinking to diplomatically cover the Incident, be Inuocently said: "Brethren, there Is a little noise go ing on. Until it Is over let us sing Sometimes a Light Surprises." Lon don Answers. A Now Reason.

Habit of Putting Off Doing Serious Things of Life. Much of tbe unbappiness and im providence in life is caused by early habits of procrastination habits con tracted unconsciously perhaps when character Is In Its formative stage and at tbe very time when most attention should be given to tbe untrained na ture. It Is so easy to fall Into a happy-go-lucky way of living, so easy to Jog along unconcernedly, doing tbe things wbicb suit us best and perhaps which count for the least and leaving undone all tbe acts and unspoken all tbe words and unexpressed all tbe thoughts and unused all tbe advantages which are really so essenlial to a better under standing of ourselves and tbe wonder ful life being lived about us! What a bright world of promise ful filled this would be If responsibility could only bo made half as attractive as some of the minor diversions which seem to furnish so much pleasure to their partakers! If tbe bard places could be made soft, tbe rocky roads smooth and ditlicult undertakings easy, tbefe would be small need for putting off from day to day the task of fulfill Ing any task whatever. As It Is, with the certainty that happiness unalloyed Is not within tbe grasp of man and with tbe knowledge that sorrow and trouble must come at some time Into each of our lives, It seems strange that for all our weak human nature we cannot learn the lesson that pro crastination teaches and benefit there by. An Office Business Only. A young man called at tbe office of a Justice of the peace aud with some hesitation made known his business, which was to be married. The Jus tice replied that be thought be could perform tbe service and asked if tbe young man bad his license. Yes, sir," the youth replied. "Well, where is the young lady?" "She she's at ber father's.' "Well, bring ber here." "She'd rather be married a borne, squire." "And you -expect me to go there and marry you?" "Yes, sir. If you please." "Young man." said tbe Justice, "this office of mine Is like a department store. We sell matches here, but wo don't deliver them at the house." Youth's Companion. Cats and Dogs. According to a Kreuch Investigator, domestic animals have n certain amount of reasoning power, often act upon reflex notions and can associate Ideos from which they draw Infer ences. iHigs. and still more so cats, he says, learn to imitate tbe voice and movements of their masters or. mis tresses. He has uoticed old watchdogs which when they barked bad peculiar intonations which resembled tbe voices of their masters. Cats try by the woy In which tbey cry to make their mis tresses understand exactly what they want. Appropriate Style. 'That elocutionist believes In dress ing the part for any recitation." "How do you mean?" "Why. when she read the story about the sailors deserted on the lonely Is land she wore a costume of maroon, and at her lecture on Celtic wit ber dress was trimmed wltb Irish point." Exchange.
