Professional Envy.
Aj? Italian philosopher has amused
himself by constructing a scale of de
grees for the measurement of profes
sional envy. The highest point in this
envy measurer is ten.
Architects are happily placed lowest
on the scale. They register only 1;
advocates and priests *and military
men are ranged, at 2, and in- the as
cending scale he gives us professors
of science and literature, 4; journal
ists, 5; authors,"" S; physicians, 9; ac
tors and actresses, 10. The. small
amount pf envy among architects is
held to be due to their precise, severe
and rigidi studies. The same thing ap
plies to advocates.
Among 'the clergy envy is found
mostly in preachers. In the military
career envy is quiescent in time of
peace, but can become acute in time
of war. Envy makes men of science
and literature lead: solitary lives, diffi
dent of each other. Among physicians
envy is s?li more prevalent, and they
do not spare their colleagues, often
terming them charlatans. In the the
atrical world envy reaches its acute
form, vanity playing a great part in
its production.
Crows as Weather Prophets.
The belief that two crows are a hap
py omen and that taey appear to warn
men from disaster is very ancient
Alexander the Great was thus saved
in Egypt by two crows, and King
Alonzo would assuredly have perished
in 1147 had it not been for two crows,
?ne of which perched on the prow and
the other on the stern of his ship, so
pointing the prow of the royal barge
safely into port Grows and rooks are
very much alike. It is said that when
rooks desert a rookery it forebodes the
downfall of the family on whose prop
erty it is.
>,?r?ey ?ie also credited with m being
good weather prognosticators. When
the weather is about to be very bad,
they stay as near home as possible,
but when they foreknow that it will
be set fair they'start off in the morn
ing right away to a distance where
they have an instinct that the food
they* need is plentiful. Again, if the
rooks are seen venturing into the
' streets of a town or village it is a sure
sign of an approaching snowstorm.?
All the Tear Bound.
Books and Bookshelves.
"Low bookshelves, * says a furniture
'dealer, who is a lover of books as well,
"have an origin in a reason besides the
price of fashion. Heat Is injurious
the binding of choice books, drying
-abut the natural oil of the leather and
.making them warp and get out of
shape. Most rooms are very warm in
the upper parts, and taese five and six
foot bookcases are a necessity rather
than a notion? Cold is as hard on
books as overheating, and an atmos
phere that is too damp or too dry also
Injures them.1 The su? pouring in di
- erectly on the shelves fades the bind
ings. You can have a cheerful, sunny
library and yet keep the volumes out
of the suifs full power." ?
Breaking; Up '"Chatter."
The famous painter Fuseli had a.
great contempt for "chatter." One aft
? rnoon a party of friends paid a visit
to his studio, and after a few moments
spent in looking at the pictures they
seated themselves and proceeded to in
dulge in a long and purposeless talk..
At last in one of the slight pauses,
Fuseli said earnestly, "I had pork for
dinner today."
"Why, my dear ilr. Fuseli," ex
claimed one cf the startled -group,
"what an extremely odd remark!"
"Is it?" said the painter ingenuously.
"Why, isn't it as interesting and im
portant as anything that has been said
for the last hour?"
Parliamentary _ frontiers.
On either side of the commons cham
ber of our parliament house there is a
distinct line along the floor, and any
member who, when speaking, steps,
outside the line on his side is liable to
be called to order. These lines are
supposed to be scientific frontiers, and
<the neutral zone between is beyond the
length of a sword thrust, and, although
members no longer wear swords, ex
cept those who are selected to move
and second addresses to the throne on
certain occasions, the old precaution

There are three things about the
north po!e that have never been dis
covered - exactly where it is. what it is
and why it is.
Snails*
The popularity of the snail as an ar
ticle of food is not confined to Paris,
but extends throughout southern Eu
rope and some parts of Africa. Dr.
Edrard, a French writer, in a pam
phlet says that 90,000 pounds of snails
are sent daily to Paris from the gar
dens of Poitou, Burgundy, Champagne
and Provence. Those reared in gar
dens are fed on aromatic herbs to Im
prove their flavor. Their market price
is from 2 francs 50 centimes to 3 francs
50 centimes a hundred, while those
from the hedges, woods and forests
bring only 2 francs to 2 francs 5X1
centimes. The proprietor of one snail
ery in the vicinity of Dijon nets over
7, )0 francs annually.
The snail is reared and fattened with
great care in some cantons of Swit
zerland as an article of luxury and is
exported in a pickled state. It is also
eaten as a relish and nutritious article
?f food in Austria, Spain, Italy and in
some sections of the United States.
The Ashantees and other African
tribes smoke them and eat them as
daily food all the year around. In
Algeria in the markets large heaps of
mails are sold by the bushel and the
hundred as an article of food. Venders
hawk them in the streets of Cairo. In
modern Rome fresh gathered snails
are hawked by women from door to
door.
Centnries In Building.
Persons who are disposed to grumble
tit the length of time required to finish
public buildings should take heart
from the example of the Cathedral of
St. Peter, in Cologne. That structure
was 632 years in building. It was be
gun in 124S and was pronounced com
pleted in ISSO. The great Catiiedral
of Milan was begun in 1386 and was
not completed until 1805, 419 years lat
er. Rostermel castle, in Cornwall, took
ninety years to build, and one-third
of that time was employed in excavat
ing for the foundation. The late Lord
Bute was engaged for orer twenty
years in building his great palace in
the isle of Bute, and his successor is
still at work on it The palace of the
Dukes of AtholL in Scotland, has been
building since 1830, and the work is
still going on. In the cases of the oth
er buildings mentioned, however, the
money for their construction did not
come entirely out of the pockets of the
taxpayers, which, after all, makes a
considerable difference as to the mat
ter of looking at it.
For ui abet i c Patients.
In a diet for diabetic patients milk is
only occasionally allowed, yet eggs,
cream, buttermilk and all kinds of
cheese may be taken freely. Tart
fruits are permitted, and peaches and
strawberries may be eaten with cream,
but without sugar. The sweet fruits
pears, plums, grapes, apples, bananas, :
etc.?are forbidden. Koumiss, coffee
with cream, but no sugar, and cereal
coffee are the drinks permitted, tea be- ?
ing excluded and no wines or liquors
except claret, Rhine or other acid va
rieties. All vegetables containing sug
ar or starch are forbidden, which
leaves cauliflower, lettuce, string beans,
spinach, cucumbers, greens, young on
ions, etc., to be eaten. Olives are net
forbidden. A moderate meat diet is
recommended, particularly the fatty
parts, and all kinds of fish are al
lowed.
Cdditiec of Color Blindness.
While the number of color blind per
sons is not very large, only about five
in every hundred suffering from any
defect in this respect and most of those
being affected only In a minor degree,
yet the phenomenon sometimes as
sumes very remarkable phases.
An oculist states that he found two
persons who possessed monochromatic
vision?that is to say, all colors ap
peared to them to be simply different
shades of gray.
If the reader will look at a photo
graph of a landscape-or, better, of a
garden filled witb brilliant flowers, he
will bo able to form an idea of the ap
pearance which nature must present
to one who suffers from the infliction
called monochromatic vision.
A Kind "Word.
Many a friendship, long, loyal and
self sacrificing, rested at first on no
thicker a foundation than a kind word.
Two men were not likely to be friends.
Perhaps each of them regarded the
other with something of distrust. They
hatl possibly been set against each oth
er by the circulation of gossip or they
had been looked upon as rivals, aud
the success of one was regarded as in
compatible with the success of the oth
er, but a kind word, perhaps a mere re
port of a kind word, has been enough
to be the commencement an endur
ing friendship.
The Sinecures.
Beeler?You are the last man I should
have expected to find opposing the
pensioning of government employees
no longer able to work.
Heeler?When a man gets so helpless
that he can't do what little work there
is in a government job, he eight to be
taken out and shot?London Tit-Bits.

the seas an' lakes an' islands an'
things is from tue dead languages."
