'I should like to make your flesh creep" is the involuntary thought of ono vlu e9snys to describe the Indian cock roach. Who that has been in India does not know tlio (Int. shining, ill savored, coffee colored thing seen only in dimly 1 lighted places, tlio eyes starting out of I tho head, the long, erer moving feeler?, the swift, ttneertain iiiovo.ueuts. tltesud- den. iineontiolled flighl when l c dashes, ) M.'i hnps, into your lace, and for a brief and liornblu moment his clammy legs cling to your skin? What a life lie must lead! Ever in cowardly terror of his life, his penetual instinct is to liido himself. From some dark corner ho glar.s at you with guilty eye. As lie darts from placo to placo lie knows you will kill him if you can. and he knows he deserves to be killed. Even iu the houses of the highest in the laud tho cockroach is not unknown. Boots, gloves and books bear witness to his ravages, and a pungent Hindi betrays his presence in your wardrobe. Hut tho paradise of tho cockroach is a Hhip. It is in the depths of tho ship's hold, where lie may hide ninong tho cargo iiiidistiiilied and feed on all rank things, thai he is iu his glory. Happily he beems unable to live except in trop ical heat, so that in the great passenger steamers constantly returning to Europe ho is seldom seen. Tlio homo of his heart is the hold of the ship whose courso is limited to tlio tropical seas. There, among bales of rice and kegs of oil, where, darkness reigns and tho nir is hot and foul and where human foot rarely intrudes, ho roams at will from jiost to jtost. Thenco tho more venturesome spirits ascend to tho upper decks and haunt saloons and cabins, and especially pantries and storerooms, where corners and crevices shelter them mid there are endless chances of "loot." Henco conies tho chief ingredient of that sickly atmos phere which strikes the sense on descend ing from the outer air and often makes a voyngo iu such a vessel a penalise in deed. Blackwood's Magazine. Utiaiiuii I'rlcxtft ami Monks. Although tho jieoplo aro forever in need of tlio services of tlio priest, they pay hint but poorly. For tho highest ceremonies lie receives one or two roubles, and for the smallest and most frequent a fow kopecks. Tho priest and tho monk being both poor, it is no uncommon sight to bco them bargaining for a mar riage or a burial, and disputing the price as thoy dispute only in Russia. From that all sorts of anecdotes havo sprung. On ouo occasion it was n priest, who, to Ikj revenged on a father for his avarice, gave tho child u ridiculous uamo tit bap tism. On another, a peasant nsked his min ister for permission to get married in an other parish. '-Very good," said the priest, "hut havo you calculated what your doing so will cost mo? Now, in tho llrst placf I would have married you. Well, that is so many roubles. Then, you will havo children, say seven; that would lw boven baptisms. Next, several of those children would die, say three; that would Ihj three burials iu my pocket. After that you would havo sons or daughters to marry, say four; thut would be four marriages I should lose." "Yes, that's very well counted up," replied tlio inoujik; "but you aro already an old man, and you might bo dead long beforo all that could happen." "That's true," returned the priest; "wo aro all mortal, and for that reason I forbid you to leave tho parish, and I shall only ask you tea roubles for your marriage." Stunloj McKenna in Tho Cosmopolitan. Work of it Drui; Clerk. People- havo no idea wliat a much abused class of workers aro tho drug clerks. The' havo to sond years study ing chemistry and other branches con nected with tho pharmaceutical profes sion, and after they go to work what do they get? Tho answer is precious little. Aside from tho small compensation al lowed us for our services, there aro tlio long hours and Sunday work. I rarely work less than thirteen hours a day, and am required to work oven harder on tho seventh day of tho week than tho llrst. Besides filling prescriptions and serving customers with other articles in tho lino carried by tho trade, I am kept on tho run to tho soda fountain. Tho drug clerks generally havo but really littlo time to enjoy the good things of this life, and, after serving many years in tho business, I can truthfully say that there is littlo in it. The salaries paid years ago were better than now, but oven then it was not a lucrative profession. Tho causo of tho present low salaries is tho largo accessions to the ranks of tho medicine- mixers year after year. They aro being turned out of tho colleges of phar macy in droves every year, and when lieginning do not object to working for low wages. The consequence of tliis is that tho salaries of tho old timers havo to coino down, as tho owners of tho drug stores do not caro about laying more than they can avoid, Drug clerk iu Globe-Democrat. Tlio i:gyitluti lleiiveu. Earth was not to tho Egyptians what it is to is a glolw carried safely through space by tho laws of gravitation. Every body iu Egypt know that it was a flat, oblong, quadrangular slab, more like tlio upper board of a table than anything they could imagine. It was surmounted by a ilat, iron roof stretching at sonio distance from it and supported by four Htrong pillars, which prevented it from falling mid crushing what was under neath. Thus tho world was like a two storied house, tho various parts of which might bo connected, as they are in our houses, by a stanvaso or by a ladder. Tho Egyptians supposed that thero was somewhere iu tho west it tall ladder which went up straight from earth to heaven, Gods and goddesses watched it day ami night, Nolxuly was allowed to climb it unless ho had thuiasswoixl, and, even after giving it, tho&o jnxir bouIh were in danger of never reaching tho top who were not helped by tho hand of soino piteous divinity.
