But be rattled his quiver, and aaid with « *1(1),

There wasn't a thing to hinder,
And be might have mounted there;
Ituc lie fluttered his wings, and said with a sigh,

Lcve came to the shore of the ocean,
And saw far over the etrao I
An inaccessible fortress
On a sea girt' Island stand.
"Who cares for an oceanf" be gayly cried,
And hit rainbow wing* were quickly plied:
"Not 11 Not I!"
I^rsu came to a lonely dungeon,
Where window and door were tarred;
There was none who would give him entrance;
Though be knocked there long and hard.
Then "Who cares for a bolt?" said the saucy elf,
And $tral|ttway ihe warder was Love himself I

Celestials, most emphatically. There is
ho portion of a veseol or its cargo sacred

the steamer discharged; they coustruct
tin boxes to fit around masts and cover

SOME STRANGE DISHES.
(taU-liiog Monkeys Willi I leer.
At Darfur, in Africa, the monkey* aro
«aid to be so inordinately foud of a kind
of beer tnnde by the natives that tho bev-
erage is used by treacherous man as a
means of capturing their unsuspecting
relatives t ans of beer ate placed within
reach, and when the convivial montieys
have become so thoroughly inebriated
that they fail to know the difference be
tweeu the man and the npe the negro
takes tho hand of one of them, in oil good
fellowship, and leads him off. The others
naturally follow him, and so good-by to
their liberty.—Ouce a Week.
l>rlft of Oreaii Derelict*.
Kvuett Haydeu, of the Hydrographic
bureau, in a recent lecture before tlia
Franklin iustitute, gave some interesting
data concerning I he remarkable drift of
ocean derelicts. For example, the ship
Ada 1red ale caught fire from spontaneous
combustion, was abandoned, drifted 2,423
miles in eight months, was towed into
port and continued to burn for elevon
months longer; then was repaired and
made into a handsome bark, which is
doing good service in the Chinese trade.
Another vessel drifted 3,521 miles in eight
months and ten days — New York Tribune.
Teutonic Element in Chicago.
(.'bieago is one of the largest German
cities in the world, so far as the numeri-
cal strength of tho Teutonic elomont Is
concerned. Even in tho fatherland there
*ro few centers of population which can
vie in this respect with the wonderful
metroplis of the western hemisphere.
Whatever causes may have driven the
German from tho land of his birth it can
truthfully bo said that his first Him on
foreign soil is to create a home for him-
self. Then ho organizes a verein—a so-
ciety. Iti fact, in populous cities the so-
ciety precedes the homo.—Chicago Times.
Boys lh*sse<i I.P»e C.trln.
A littlo Philadelphia uiiss, who has
(men traveling in northern Kurojte during
the summer with her mother, was much
amused at Ihe way that prevails in Hol-
land of dressing boys and , girls under 8
years of ago exactly alike in full dark
skirts nnd bright bodices. The only way
to toll them apart is that the girls wear
plain caps, while the boys' cans arc col-
ored. Both wear the hair short, with
bangs, so I hat the face offers no hint as
to the sox of the child —Philadelphia
Times.
Ti-udcnry to Increased tiuxnry.
The tendency of t'ie time is to increased
luxury. There will be more pretty little
adjuncts to the dressing caso this year
than ever. Toilet set s ha vo been growing
richer and richer every year. Last year
ivory backs to brushes, and ivory combs
were considered tho proper things. This
year everything runs to oxidized silver
for combs and brush and mirror backs. I
suppose after awhilo gold will be the
proper caper.—A. W. Fernow in Globe-
Democrat.
The Third Class Passenger.
The third class passenger is becoming
moro and more conspicuous in England.
According to n report of tho Great'North-
ojen railway for one-half of tho year, first
class passengers were 3J per cent, of the
traffic, second class 6} per cent, and third
rtimi 9! Tier cent. —dilate?

The range of 20,000 yards, attained by ele-
vating one of the newest breech loaders to
43 degs. has led to the calculation that the
111 ton gun fired at that elevation would
carry twenty miles.
A railway from Visp to Zermatt, Switzer-

a Difficult Question.
On the whole, popular cookery has a
strong likeness to popular poetry—it Is
full of good Ideas Imperfectly worked out.
Who can say, for example, what mos
tarda might become If the fruits were
treated with a little more care aud per
sonal consideration before they were
placed in the mustard? As it is, "there is
a hint of a new flavor about it which
human ingenuity has not hitherto
brought fully out. Bipe grapes pickled
in vinegar, though their merits are well
kuowu in southern Russia, have never
received due recognition in Eng-
land. but these are delicacies rather
than food. The fishermen all along
tho coast from Oaeta to Naples have va-
rious ways of cooking fish which are un-
known in the great hotels. Many of them
are interesting and might be attractive
but for the predominating flavor of garlic.
Fresh sardines, crisply fried in oil, are
quite admirable eating, but the fisher-
men have discovered a more excellent
way of dealing with them. They place
them in a shallow tin, embed them in
bread crumbs, add a few savory herbs,
Kur a little good olive oil, squeeze a
non or two over them, and then bake
them over a sharp fire. The result is un-
oxp"Cted but not disagreeable. In some
towns and villages of Northern Italy
small birds are treated with the same ap-
preciative kindness. They are roasted on
a spit before a sharp fire, and then laid in
pickle for a day or two and Berved cold.
UNCSOAL MATERIALS.
No one will suggest that there is any-
thing common or unclean in such food as
has been mentioned; it do^s not even bol-
der on impropriety, but may be freely en-
joyed by men of all sects and nations.
As soon as one turns to unusual materials
national prejudice asserts itself and the
ground becomes unsafe. In central and
a considerable part of northern Germany )
the man who eats a rabbit becomes a
social outcast; in England many re-
spectable citizens indulge shamelessly I
Id this mild form of dissipation. The
Neapolitan poor are not as a rule dainty,
but while delighting in sea urchin they
look down with scorn upon the Calabre.se
bwanse they eat sea slugs, which, if prop
er'v cooked, are not very nasty. Nay,
evbi in our own country there was a time
when persons scoffed at frogs; now most
Englishmen who have been to Paris know
that, if properly treated, they add a new
zest to dinner, if not to life.
The old prejudice against snails still
continues, yet there are at least two
edible kinds which aro worthy of all re-
spect. They must be kept and fed cleanly,
preferably on vine leaves, for some time
before being used, but when this has Iwen
done both sorts add a peculiar aud agree-
able flavor to several clear soups, and one
of them when boiled, chopped small and
allowed to cool, greatly improves any
green salad. Do not let the hasty reader
imagine that they have any resemblance
to the common periwinkle.
rOOKIXO A HEDGEHOG.
Hedgehog i3 good, at least for a change,
and it used to lie well cooked in a small
tavern in tho Ghetto of Home, to which
artists frequently resorted when their
spirits were high and their funds low.
According to an aged South Italian sports-
man, they should be killed in the woods
and immediately skinned, and then al-
lowed to hang fpr a few hours, and, after
being trur.v-d with their own quills, be
roasi "d betovc a sharp fire. The stuffing
should b;> uniilo of their own fat, finely
eliopjK I with breadcrumbs and such sea
souin.tr as suits the cook's taste. Of course
no one with a sense of decency would
thin!; "!' eating a hedgehog which had
been employed for months in hunting
bliici; beetles in a cellar and was only
slaughtered because he showed signs of
failing strength
Similes are a difficult question. The
force of ■ civilization is against them iu
every way, though in a few north Italian
towns I hey tiro considered delicacies, and
those who"have eaten of them declare t hat
they are superior to eels, as they are less
rich and have a more delicate flavor. One
would not liko to givo an opinion without
some practical experience, and no one can
be expected, t o travel to the neighborhood
of Genoa in the early autumn for the
mere purpose of eating stewed serpent.
Many other animals occupy a similarly
dubious position, .lays and crows are
said to make excellent soup, even when
they are well stricken in years, though
their flesh is otherwise worthless. But
why do we accept the calf and reject the
foal? Why do we regard tear's paws as a
dainty and roasted cat as a crime? Tastes,
of course, differ; but this Is not a matter
of taste, but of imagination. There are
persons who cannot oat duck and green
peas, and others who are unfortunate
enough to find no charms iu oysters or
caviare—they are to be pitied, not
blamed.—Loudon Saturday Review

Publicity of Private Affair*.
There were never so many books in tin-
world as there are now, and never were
mankind so gregarious. In fact, now. «
thing of privacy is almost unknown, and
hardly conceivable; peoplo live undor one
another's noses, and looking down one
another's throats. The newspapers tell
all that is, and are accused of telling even
more, sometimes. Tho windows of our
bedrooms are at the mercy of passengers
In tho elevated trains. If a distinguished
man is ill, we pass our days and nights at
his bedside, and watch the operations of
his physician and surgeon; if there hap-
pens a war at the ends of the earth, it is
fought at our own hearthstone, and the
map of tho scene of the conflict is drawn
on our dining table. The obscurest inur
dcrer or swindler is our familiur compan
Ion, and we discuss tho domestic affairs of
European sovereigns as confidently as
those of our nest door neighbor.—Juliau
