Bo. naturalists observe, a flea

And these have smaller still to bit 'em.
And so proceed ad Infinitum.

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

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

PROCRASTINATION.
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:

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."

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."

The Language.
'This Is a pretty slate of affairs. Isn't
It?"
"Yes, It Is n very ugly matter, but
somebody will have to pnv handsomely
for it."- New York Journal.
A good way to be happy Is to try to
be useful aud lieinful.
