CONFECTIONERY. The Sugar Plum Is the Most Ancient Kind of Sweetmeat. The most ancient kind of sweet meat is the sugar plum. It was the invention of Julius Dragatus, a noted Roman baker and confectioner. who belonged to the family of Fabius. Ac cording to an authority on ancient history. it was in 177 B. C. that he made the great discovery which for twenty centuries has done so much damage to teeth. These bonbons. called dragati. after their inventor (dragees in French). re mained the exclusive privilege of the family of Fabius. But at the birth or marriage of one of that family a great distribution of dragati took place as a sign of rejoicing. The custom is still observed by many of the nobility of Europe. Burned almonds are purely of French origin, owing their inception to the gluttony of a certain French merchant. One day Marshal Duplessis-Pralin, an old gourmet. sent for Lassagne, who had already invented many a tooth some dainty, to concoct a new bonbon for him. Lassagne searched, reflected, combined, until finally he onceived a delicious bonbon, which he baptised gloriously after the name of his mas ter, praline, the French for burned almonds.-Pearson's Weekly.

A young one which I have mounted is about the size of a small hen and Is covered with white down. His eyes are pale blue. I colored the eyes exactly from life. When fully grown, the first plumage is dark brown above and the eyes are pale yellow. No one would be likely to suspect this being a goshawk who had seen only adult birds. Later it changes to the dark slaty blue of the adult, and. the eye, after passing through all the intermediate changes in color from stray yellow, orange yel low and pZe, finally assumes the deep rich red of the adult. I know no other hawk, adds Manly Hardy, writing in Forest and Stream, so handsome as the goshawk. The Letter G. The letter G furnishes us a curious bit of orientalism. Its Hebrew name is gimel, camel, from the resemblance of the Hebrew character to the head and neck of that animal. The char acter was thus almost certainly de rived from a picture of that animal wvhich, reduced to a hieroglyphic and then simplified, still distantly indicates the shape of the head and neck of the beast of burden familiar to every dweller in eastern lands.

The New York Man Felt Above Him, but ChanSed His Opinion. One of the most successful wholesale dry goods merchants New York city ever saw had the peenliar habit of re garding as his inferior any man who was engaged in a business less gen teel. as he held. than his own. In his employ was a young Vermonter, who felt highly elated when one day a man from his native town who was visiting the city called on him. The man was somewhat crude in his manners, but be had piled up a fortune in the tin ware business and in buying up at a discount in times of panie conimerclal paper which he believed was good. The youth introduced the Verrmonter to his employer. "What business are you in':" asked the dry goods prince as the two shook hands. "The tinw-a-a-r busin's5." drawled the Vermonter. Without a word the dry goods mer chant turned on his lwe! and bolted into his private Olce. lie didn't rec ognize tinware merchants as desirable acquaintlances. -1old on a milute. ,Ir. -:- shouted the Verimoiter after the retrea.''g flig ure. "Are these here things gen' to be paid when they fall due,' F'rom his wallet the Vermonter drew several slips of paper, which he held up to the dry goods merchant's face. The merchant glanced at them and ef fusively bade the Vermonter welcome to his private office. The papers were notes to the extent of $50,000 uttered by the dry goods merchant and which, unknown to him. the Vermonter had bought up at a IAg discount.--Brooklyn Eagle. OLD TIME CELEBRATIONS. Happiness the Order of the Day, Tran quillity of the Night. The files of old newspapers are a priceless record of the history and manners of theIr times. In the papers of 1796 the accounts of public rejoicings show that these were few in number and that the method of keeping them differed widely from our ideas of fes tivities. Washington's birthday was perhaps the greatest holiday. "Industrious citizens," we are told, "appropriated the hour of noon for the congratulations of the day. Each fam ily enriched the domestic meal with bountiful provisions, and gay spirits and temperate and undissembled joy pervaded all classes." There were speeches and processions and illuminations for the less indus trious who were willing to give some thing more than the hour of noon to the celebration, but the most memora ble observance of the day was that of the Harvard students. "Saying to each other that it would be disgraceful to pretend to honor Washington with riot and disorder. they retired to their chambers before 0 o'clock. and by the time the bells ceased ringing there was not a light to be seen In aiy of the buildings." This Is equaled by the summing up of the celebrations of Fourth of July for the same year, a day observed with great rejoicings. No accidents are re ported. and the editor concludes, "In short, in every place we heard fronm happiness was the order of the day. tranquillity of the night."-Youth's Companion. Endorsed by a Minister. Rev. Parker Holmes, pastor of the first N1. E. church, South Hickory. N.

The Dread of Death. Granted th::t it as the will of God that we shalil remain on earth and live our app~ointed lives there, it is essential that mankind should feel the dread of death. Without that dread the world could hardly remanin peopled. The dread of deatn is to the soul what the law of gravity is to the body. It an chors us to the earth. Without that dread to weigh us down and keep us to the globe half mankind would be driv en by curiosity, by the love of change, by the dread of ennui, by what Bacon calls "-niceness and satiety," to push open the closed door and see what Is Ibeyond. Children and a few very hap py and easily pleased people might perhaps say they would not explore Ifarther and that they were perfectly content wIth things as they are.-St. James' Gazette. His Business. A passing stranger was attracted by frightful screams coming from a little house not far from the road. H~u riedly tying his horse, he ran to the house and found that a little boy had swallowed a quarter, and ha mother. not knowing what to do, had become frantic. Ts strar ger caught the little fellow by his heels and, holding him up, gave a few shakes, whereupon the quarter soon dropped to the floor.

Chased From He-:!ge to Hedge by a Big Pack of Weasols. The following extract from an inter esting book may be of interest to our friends. It is 'Froi My Life as an Angler." by Wiliam Henderson, pub lished in London hi 18K9. "About this time, while rambling in the picturesque lane leading from Mcr rington to Windlestone with two other boys. an adventure occurred sufficient ly startling to two little fellows from nine to ten years old. We were busily enigaged in piing wild strawberries, which clustered In the hedgerows, when we s:a. at about a hundred yaris distIce a pack of at least twenty weasels running from hedge to hedge and evidently scenting out foot steps. It flashed upon us that we were being huntedi. So, springing over the nearest hedge, we ran across a pasture field and, standing upon the farther bank, looked back toward our assail ants. To our dismay we saw the whole pack. with noses to ground, steadily tracking our course. The word was given. 'Run, run!' and off we scam pered across another field to take up our position on another hedge. Still the pursuit was going on. and the crea tures were evidently gaining upon us. so with a wild shout we fled to the village, which. happily for us, was not far off. I have frequently heerd of persons being attacked by weasls, but was never hunted by them on any oth er occasion.' The above must have occurred about 1,12. the locality being the north of England.-Forest and Streaui. Shooting the Steenbuck.

A steen buck h.1as no fear of cattle and will lie still even if they graze right up to him. The hunter gets together a few cattle and with his gun walks behind themi in such a way that he cannot be seen from the front. Great care has to be exercised to drive the oxen so that they may seem to be grazing natural ly. The hunter must be ready to shoot without having to alter his position. The slightest movement is noticed by the buck.

WOGING SLEEP. A Prescription That Worked Well In Philadel phia. A haggard lookiiig mn strolled into a downtown drug store the other dayr -nd asked the dr-uiggist for help. ITe said he had trouble in getting to sleep when he retir-ed. No matter how sleepy he might be during the day or how much sleep he might have lost. the moment his head touched the pil low he was wide awake and lay thus for several htours. Once asleep he was very hard to waken, but he had to be up at a certain hour. and in conse quence of his peculiar affiiction he w-ac losing mor-e sleep than he could stand. The drug clerk regarded him quiz zically a fewv moments andl then re plied: 'My dear man, you don't want medi cine. What vou want is something to change the trend of your thoughts. Do as a friend of mine did. He was troubled the same way and found that the old folks' plan of imagining sheep passing a barrier and counting them was out of date, so he began trying tc name all the states in the Union. He soon got them so he could classify them alphabetically. Then, when they no longer interested him, he started on the counties of his state.

Wheni four years old Mozart played miuets andl learnied music with fa clity, and at the age of six he com posed a concerto for the harpsichord, which, though written strictly in ac cordance wirth the principles and tech ie of his art, was yet so overloaded with difficulties that it could not be played. It is related that Mozart once hap pened to put off some music that he had been engaged to furnish for a court concert so long that he had not time to write out the part which he himself was to perform.

How the Arabs Let the Animal Exhaust its Bad Temper. You all have heard stories about the camel -how patient and useful he Is on long. lt journeys, so that he is often calle. the "ship of the desert." But he has one very bad fault. lIe likes to "pay back." and If his driver has injured him in any way he will not rest till he has returned the injury. The Arabs, who wander about the deserts and so use the camel a great deal, know about this fault of his and have a queer way of keeping them selves from getting hurt. When a driver has made his camel angry, he first runs away out of sight. Then, choosing a place where the eamel will soon pass, he throws down some of his clothes and fixes them so that the heap will look like a sleeping man. Pretty soon along comes the camel and sees the heap. Thinking to him self, "Now I've got him," he pounces on the clothes, shakes them around and tramples all over them. After he Is tired of this and has turned away the driver can reappear and ride him away without harm. Poor silly camel! He has been in what we call "a blind rage," so angry that he can't tell the difference be tween a man and a heap of clothes. Mayflower. Pale People Made Rudy by Rydale's Tonic.
