For bringing up their families pea hens are n mode) to every other feath ered fowl iu existence. The nest is usually made of n quantity of dry sticks, nnd when fairly sot and ou It the ditliculty is to tind out where the hen is. So beautifully does the ash gray plumage assimilate w ith the sur roundings that it is often possible to tumble over the nest before recogniz ing it. In this nest are laid from three to four large whitish eggs about the sine of those laid by the common do mestic goose. When the chicks are hatched out they are the most delightful little brown birds Imaginable. The color Is a rich deep brown, and they much resemble young pheasdnts both la si.o nud in coloring. Mauy people have often laughed at the curious etiquette notice able in the behavior of bees toward their queen. But the peafowl etiquette in Introducing young chicks to their owner Is at least as curious. As soon as the chicks are able to walk the mother marshals them in a procession, and, leading herself, she stalks to the place where she and the others are generally fed. Having formally Intro duced her brood, she takes them back to the nest, and they are not seen any more for some weeks. The hen will come and be fed, but the chicks are supposed to remnin In retreat till they are growu to the size of spring chick ens, when they come out nnd join the rest of the fowls and learn to feed for themselves.

That Is the Name That Was Once Given to Rubber. 51. do la Condamine, a French sa vant, was traveling in 1743 iu Ecua dor with an expedition sent out to measure a degree of the meridian for scientific purposes. lie kept a jour nal, and the following entry is dated July 11: In the forests of Quito there flows a kind of resin which is called "cahucliu." When fuesh it can ba molded Into any form. It is impervious to rain. lie further describes how the natives used it for making a special kiud of syringe, and in April. 17-15, when he had returned from his journey, he pre sented a sample of "cahuchu" to the Academy of Sciences iu I'aris. The French word for rubber caoutchouc is simply a corruption of this Indian name. La Condamine treated the product as a mere vegetable curiosity. It was Fresneau, a French engineer, who first studied and utilized the substauce. lie embarked for Guiana with a model of the fruit and a sketch of the leaf. He rowed along the rivers, offered the natives drink and music and when he had assured himself of their friendship by those and other gifts showed his patterns and asked them to indicate the plant. His efforts were finally suc cessful, and he obtained enough rub ber to make a pair of boots, -which he presented to M. de Maurepas. who went to court in them. The "electric milk," as it was termed, thus made its first entry into the royal presence. Loudon Family Herald. A Friendly Penguin. I outbid a friend for a penguin, which became an interesting pet. The friend wanted the bird for Its skin. On board ship the bird soon got accus tomed to its surroundings and found that the cook was one to keep on good terms with, and it haunted the galley, getting many tidbits. It was al ways In attendance when the market boat came alongside in the morning and followed the steward as he car ried the day's provisions aft. Strange' to say. it developed a great liking for lettuce, although its natural food is fish, and another curious trait was that it would never pick up food from the deck or cut of water, but would al ways take it ravenously from the hnn.l. It behaved like a child and would make a whining sound as if begging to be lifted up and would cud die dowu and appear to be quite hap py when being nursed. Scotsman. Mo3aic Work. The origin of Mosaic work is un known. We may be sure, however, that it began among some oriental peo ple. It hail attained to great excellence in Greece in the time r.f Alexander nnd his successors. The Unmans also ex celled in Mosaic work, as is shown by the many preserved specimens today to be s'-eii iu the museums. The art was revived in Italy by Giotto. Clrne bue and others and from Italy made its way into the other European coun tries. Some of the achievements of the Mosaic works of the best Italian period are little less than miraculous.

Curious Course of T'aining In Old Time Girls' Schools. A letter recently unearthed from a trunk shows that In the sixties of the lust centurv nrincltials of uirls' schools thought they wore fitting the girls for society by urging them to retain small waists. Accordingly they offered prizes to the girls having the smallest waists. The clrls were put through a course of training for reducing their waist measure. The conditions of the contest were that the corset should not be removed on retiring at night and that each pupil must be inspected every morning to make sure she had not loosened her corset. One of the persons who engaged In the contest afterward wrote of it: . "Some of us tried hard to be per mitted to retire from the contest, but we were rebuked for stultifying our selves and accused of milking fools of our principals. On the following morning the undoi-governess, with her maid, came as usual to superintend the toilets, and after satisfying her self that each lace was drawn in to the utmost she fastened it in a knot at the top nnd, passing the ends through a piece of card, placed hei own seal on them, so that any attempt to loosen the corset during the night might be infallibly detected iu the morning." Detroit Free Press. WHITE DEER SKINS. They Passed About as Banknotes at One Timo In China. In China, the first country in the world credited with using banknotes, certain skins were so valuable that they were accepted as cash and passed from hand to hand in the same way as banknotes are at the present day. The negotiability of these skins arose thus: The Enmeror Ou Ti. being in want of money, gave his treasurer to under stand that such a state of affairs must not continue. At that time it was customary for princes ami court iers on entering the royal presence to cover their faces with a piece of skin. Taking advantage of this custom, the treasurer ordered a decree to be issued forbidding the use of any other skins for this purpose except those of a cer tain white deer in the royal parks. Immediately there was a demand for nieces of these skins, which, being a monopoly, were sold at a high price and the royal coffers refilled. I he sfpodv vnlufi of the skins thus secured made thein readily pass and acceptable as an equivalent of coin of the realm.

A Stenographer's Stumble. ; A judge in one of our middle west states advertised for a stenographer with experience in legal work. A num ber of applicants called at his ollice for the purpose of making application for t lie position. Each applicant was given a trial to test her speed, accu racy, etc. Among the applicants was a young lady whose anxiety to make a good showing evidently unnerved her. The judge dictated to her a few sentences in legal language, one of which was. "That would give him time to complete the devastation of the assets." The sentence as transcribed by the young lady on the typewriter read as follows: "That would give him time to complete the devil's station with a hatchet." Although much amused at her ludicrous blunder, the judge permitted her to go away with out telling her of her mistake. Case and Comment. Madrid's Fearful Climate. Madrid is afflicted with the most changeable climate of tiny European capital. The temperature varies from as much as 107 degrees in t lie summer to as little as 10 degrees in the win ter, and at all seasons of the year It indulges in violent fluctuations. It Is by no means uncommon in December to wake up with the thermometer reg istering about 20 degrees and to find it mount to more than 00 degrees by the afternoon. Some years ago an oscillation of 37 degrees was registered in one day. No wonder, therefore, that lung troubles are far more preva lent in Madrid than in St. Petersburg. London Chronicle. How Music Affected Doswell. Boswell had a good deal more feel ing for music than Ir. Johnson and suffered at his master's hands. Once la a moment of expansiveness he told Johnson th'it music "affected him" to sui-li a degree as to agitate his nerves most painfully, producing alternative sensations of pathetic dejection, so that ho was ready to shed tears, nud of daring resolution, so that he was inclined to rush into the thickest of the battle. "Sir," replied Johnson. "I should never hear it at all if it made me such a fool." A Human Tendency. "You approve of economy, don't you r , "Yes." replied Senator Sorghum: "only tiM many of us are apt to econo mize on the cigars we hand our fr!Mds Instead of those we smoke our nelves."

Among the many curious domestic pets of the Japanese are their musical insects and waltzing mice. Hung up iu the verandas of Japa nese houses may be seeu small, exqui sitely cut bamboo cnges. from whkb in tlie hush of dawu and at the close of summer days proceed quaint little whistlings, tinkllngsand trills. Usual ly it Is at evening that the Japanese sit at their ease to listen to the music of their imprisoned insects. One culled the "suzu-mushi" gives out, it is said, a kind of trill so delicate and clear as to sound like an ethereallzcd bird's song. One species of Japanese mouse may be said to waltz through the greater part of the waking hours of Its life, never tiring, though its feet wear out in the process. This peculiar little rodent is black and white and has pink eyes. Its chief peculiarity is that at a time when baby mice of other species are just beginning to move about thi3 .terpslchorean mouse is nl rendy able to waltz. Put together, these Japanese danc ing mice will waltz iu couples, and at times more than two will Join In a mad whirl. So rapid is the movement of the dancers that it is difficult to distinguish their heads from their tails. The Japanese says that waltzing seems to be as essential to the happi ness of this mouse as midair somer saults are to the tumbling pigeon. An upright peg forms a convenient pivot round which the mouse can whirl, but it is said that without any such guide they would not in several minutes cover an area larger than a dinner plate, and they easily spin under a tumbler. New York Herald. AN UNFOUGHT DUEL. The Way the Father of His Country Avenged a Blow. It is narrated that ou one occasion In his early manhood Washington came verv near the settlement of a dispute, so common in those days, by fighting a dnel. But as he was the one who should have issued the chal lenge he bad the still greater courage to apologize and admit that he was in the wrong. It was in the town of Alexandria, where the young Virginia colonel was quartered with his troops, that an elec tion dispute occurred, and in the heat of the party excitement Washington told a Mr. Payne that he lied. That gentleman at once replied with a blow that knocked the young colonel down. Word having reached the barracks that their beloved commander had been killed, his soldiers rushed to the city to avenge him. He met them, however, quieted them, and they re turned to their quarters. Mr. Payne, ou receiving a note from Washington the next morning asking him to call nt his lodgings, supposed it was. of course, to give the colonel opportunity to demand "satisfaction" for the blow he had received the day before. Imagine his surprise when, instead of finding pistols or swords ready for a duel. Washington greeted him with outstretched hand, saying: "1 believe 1 was wrong yesterday. You have already had some satisfaction, nnd if you deem that sufficient here Is my hand. Let us be frieuds." II. A. Ogden in St. Nicholas. Catching the Speaker's Eye. The practice of "catching the speak er's eye" dates back to the session of lfijo, when a heated dispute arose be tween members of the house, several of whom claimed precedence of speech. It was then decided that whoever first caught the speaker's eye should have the right to address the house. This rule worked smoothly until 1085. when Sir John Trevor was elected to the chair. The new speaker was aClicted with an abominable squint; consequent ly two members would often catch his eye simultaneously and decline to give way to one another. To obviate this a further rule was framed to the effect that the speaker should call by name upon the member privileged to address the house. So every holder of the of fice has to possess a good memory for names as well as keen eyesight. Lon don Chronicle. The Cruel Wolf Spider. One of the most unnatural things in nature, if the expression is allowable. Is the manner in which the young of the common wolf spider treat their mother. After the little creature has laid her eggs she envelops them in a silken covering, so as to make a ball about the size of a pea. and this she carries about with her wherever she goes and will defend It with her life. When the young are hatched they climb on her back, giving her a mon strous appearance, nnd ride about un til nearly half grown, and as soon as they discover their strength they fall to and devour their mother.
