The Five-Clawed Dragon. In China the five-clawed dragon Ig the emblem of royalty. Usually it ig pictured as arising from the sea and clutching at the sun, thus expressing the idea of universal dominion. The Emperor’s person is called the ara- gon’s body, his throne the dragon’s throne. To see the Emperor, a privi- lege aliowed to but few, is to see the gon's face. The Emperor’s crest is a dragon; a dragon appears on the chinese flag. The dragon is called ung” iy China, and srmbolizes all that is imposing and powerful. The mass of the people believe in the dra- gon as an actual existence, and waste much time and money in attempting to propitiate the monster. The dragon has been described by Chinese writera a most fearsome looking monster, nd they give it all sorts of extraordj- nary attributes. Dr. Tempte's Temptation. When Dr. Temple, the present Pri- te, was head ter of Rugby 90] he paid a visit to Dr. Benson, s predecessor in the See of Canter- y, who was at that time the mas- of Wellington College.

A number of phy- sicians attributed the present preval- | ence of constipation, which is prim- | arily responsible for the new fashions in laxatives, to an insufficiency of fat in the modern dietary. The frying pan has gone out of fasnion, to ‘ae benefit of digestion, but ways and means of supplying the fats that used to be consumed with the fried mater- ial have not been forthcoming. The present generation is distinctly an eater of sweets, not of fats, but while the former supply the hect that would be obtained from the fats, they do not supply certain lubricant qualities which are so important for the proper performance of the intestinal fune- tions.

In the village of Bodra a Turk named Ismall, aged 120 years, is in such good health that he frequently walks to Bartin, six miles distant, to sell eggs, for he is a poultry dealer. He has had thrity-four wives, the last of whom he married recently. The bride is 60 years his junior, and the mar- riage was celebrated with much sol- emnity, to the sound of*drum3 and fifes and volleys of fireams. The whole village was en fete. The wedding pro- | cession included all the male progeny of the patriarch bridegroom, consisting of 140 sons, grandsons and great- grandsons. Effeitive Bird Laws. From many parts of New England this summer comes the news that the song birds seem to be more in evi- dence than they have been for many years. An old Rangely guide said re- cently that it was hardly within his recollection of the past twenty years that the birds had been so aboundant or of so many species as they may be | seen this year. In the want of any other reason to account for the ‘vel- come change it seems fair to assume that the New England laws for the protection of insectivorous birds ase beginning to have some effect, q pour notice were ALASKA FLOWERS. A Well-Known Lover of Nature Tells | Us About Them. John Burroughs, the well-known bird lover and naturalist, describes in the Country Magazine a trip that he matie to Alaska. Among other things he says: “But we all climbed the mighty emerald billow that rose from the rear of the village, some of us re- beatedly. rom the ship it looked as smooth as a meadow, but the climber soon found himself knee-deep in ferns, grasses and a score of flowering plants, and now and then pushing through a patch of alders as high as his head. He could not go far before his hands would be full of flowers, blue predomi- nating. The wild geranium here is light blue, and it tinged the slopes as daisies and buttercups do at home. Near the summit there were patches of most exquisite forget-me-nots, of a pure, delicate hue with a yellow cen- ter. They grew to the height of a foot, and a handful of them looked like something just caught out of the sky above. Here, too, were a small, delicate lady’s-slipper, pale yellow striped with maroon, and a pretty dwarf rhododendron, its large purple flower sitting upon the moss and lichen, The climber/ also waded through patches of lupine, and put his feet among bluebells, Jacob’s-ladder, fris, saxifrage, cassiopes and many others. The song birds that attracted the golden-crowned sparrow and the little hermit thrush. The golden crown had a peculiarly piercing, plaintive song, very simple, but very appealing. There were only three notes, but they were from out the depths of the bird’s soul. In them | was all the burden of the mystery and pathos of life. on ot MEE Ae eRe aa ae ea HE MEE AE HE ae EE AY Ee ae a ae ae ae ae Me ae ae ae ae ae aE EE INCORRECT NAMES. we Game Birds of America Misnamed by Huniers. It is remarkable that most of the game birds in the United States are known by names which are not honest- ly theirs. A man talks of going quail shooting or pheasant shooting. Neither of»these birds is native to America, and the sportsman means he is going after partridges and grouse. There are indeed some pheasant preserves in the country, but in spite of assertions to the contrary the quail does not live on the North American continent, ac- cording to the authority of D. G. liott.in Cuting. In the first place, quaii are much smaller than partridges. The main differences, however, between the two much-confused birds are: The “ill of the true quail is small, weak, entirely different from the strong Dill of the English partridges and of our own “Bob White,” and the groove of | the nostril is mostly feathered. The nostril of the American ‘“‘quail”—really rertridge—is uncovered. Partridge legs are scaly and spurred, while quails’ legs are never so adorned. The quail’s tail is short, the feathe-s soft and light and not half so long as the wing. The partridge’s tail has from sixteen to eighteen feathers and is de- cidedly stiff. All the birds here gen- erally called quail, from the Bob Whites, the Messena quail, the crested and plumed quail of the southwest, to thase of the Pacific coast, are seally partridges, as will be found by judging them scientifically. The r= rarely receives its correct name, being called partridge or pheasant, accord- ing to locality. The grouse is knowz by the fact that its legs are always completély or partially feathered over. The partridge never has poet re on its legs. ) 4 ef Girl Tramps Are Numerous. New Jersey has come to the front with a product entirely its own. It is nothing less than the female tramp dressed in boy's citthing and stealing rides on fre!.it trains. She is be coming common. Recently “James” Robinson of Philadeiphia was released frem the county correction farm at fientcn on payment cf a £3 fine, the money having been sent here by tele- graph from Fhilade!ptia, “James”. ia 2 girl about J6 ysavs old. She was arrested by a railroad cetective and sent to the farm cha ned to six tramps. When captvred she bad a la.ge revol- ver strapped to a beit around her waist, and upon being questioned promptly admitted her sex. She re- fused to give her name, but said she was trying to reech the home of her unc’e in New Brunswick. ‘he justice committed her to the stone quarry for thirty deys in defauit of the $3 fine imposed. This is the third girl tramp the detectives have arrested at the coal chutes within a fow deys, | | ‘The Home Interest of Ch idren, | Unquestionably children are the | clearest facts on which we build our social structure of the future, but iv should be held axiomatic in all suca social reform work that the home idea is inseparable from every problem into which child life enters.

Fall and Winter Good : F Se? Having received a new Stockof Suitings I'am now prepared to give my customers the benefit QUEEN OF HOLLAND. « No Friends of Her Royal Family. | Own Age in the Wilhelmina, tne young queen of Hol- land, is very pretty, though her beauty threatens in future years to run en somewhat massive lines. Her admiring subjects gaze at her, and then murmur to an acquiescent neighborhood, “Isn't she pretty?” The young queen has fine eyes, a clear complexion and a glorious tinze of rose-pink in her checks. Then her hair is the rich brown that painters love, and there is plenty of it. Wil- helm:oa has a reputation for dignity, but not long ago she enjoyed herszif so much at a court ball, waltzing w.th the energy of a healthy girl who has temporarily forgctten she is a queen and only remembers she is young and happy, that a coil of her hair fell down and had to be pinned up again by a lady-in-v-aiting. This little incident set all tongues wagging. It was exagg?trated and commented upon all over Holland wi:h an anxiety only abated by the d's- covery that the queen’s partner in the dance had been her uncle, her moth- er’s brother, the Prince of Waldeck- Pyrmont. This relative and his wife, who are both still young, are the only people with whom Wilhelmina real y fraternizes in,a natural jolly way. Sie has no friends of her own age, and in Holland the royal family is limited to a very small circle. The two or three princes and princesses available are middle-aged, dowdy, and dul, Yet Wilhelmina obviously enjoys her “splendid isleation.” She gave every- one to understand, on her accession, that shé liked independence, and in- tended to preserve it as long as pos- sible.
