With a rm*«l i for divergent taste?, he is apt t domestic version of the old toiyitig. “Or thodoxy is iny doxy, bo )u»tem<t<jxy innsl Im? vonrs.” What suits him should suit svery one. The same spirit animated Dr. .Johnson when he gave his famom definition of “oats” as “in England, foot' for horses, in Scotland for men.*' Bn the whirligig of time has so twisted af fairs nrontbl that the food at which tin great lexicographer sneered little more than a hundred years ago is now an ar ticlo of daily diet in thousands of En glisli homes. The plainest of plain liv ing it is to ns nowadays, but the high thinking of the Seventeenth and Eigh teenth centuries was cultivated on a very different aliment. Yet who U prepared to say that greater intellects have ever been known in the English nation than were produced in the days of roistering wine bibbing and high living, when such minds were develop'd as those of Shakespeare, Ben .louson, Drydon. Addi son, Swift, Pope and conntless others whom time fails even to mention?” Christine Tcrhiine Merrick. Subatimrv ami Form In Lllrrar^i And is it not true that from tho nature of things tho contemporary judgment lays most stress on substance, and that the “final” judgment is favorable to form? Substantially speaking, bow many historic things of iimneuse contemporary vogue seeui insipid to us, whereas scarce ly anything of very great formal merit has been allowed to perish? In other words, is there not an element of universality about perfection of form which significance of thought does not possess? or, at any rate, is not perfection more nearly attainable in form than it h in substance? And nothing is so pro servative as perfection or any approach to it. One thing is very certain—neglect ol form involves the sacrifice of an element of positive attractiveness ns well as of fending positively by perverseness and ec centricity. Whether rhyme and rhythm cadence, purity, fiawlnwness, melody are essential or not to poetry, the abnn douincnt of the artistic quality which they imply is obvionsly a loss.—Scrib ner’*. All Indian CliMlIenga. Two tribe, of Indians in the upper part of California hod os boundary be tween their districts a low ridge where the streams headed. If you should go to where one of these streams. Potter river, rises yon would see still standing a tall pile of stones beside a never failing spring. On one side of this cairn waa the territory of the Pomo Indians, and on the other the land of the Clmmaia. These tribes were enemies, nud were often at war. When the Chutnnin wished to challenge the others hi battle thoy took three little sticks, cut notches ronod their ends nnd in the middle, tied them at the ends into a faggot and laid it on this cairn. If the Pbmos accepted th.. challenge they tied a string arnnnd the middle of the three sticks and left them in their place. Then agents of both tribes met on neutral ground and nr ranged the time and place of battle, wliirb took place ats’ordingly.— St. Nicb olas. Origin or an Old Sarins. lu the Sixteenth century it wns gener ally stated that "spiders be tree signs of great stores of gold." a saying wbicb arose thus: While a passage to Cathay was being sought by the northwest a mariner brought home a stone which was announced to be gold, and canned such a ferment that several vessels were fitted ont for tho express purpose of col lecting the prccions metal. Frobisher, in 1077, found on one of the islands where he landed similiar stones and an enormous number of spiders. —Oornhlll Magazine. A Brazilian parrot once, en.vceded tn making a railway party believe that they ' ad ran over a child. Sudden cries, fol lowed by a low moaning, rang ont from beneath the wheels. The train was stopped, and tho employes nervously seurehed the track, hut no child was to be seen. No clew to the situation could be found until a large green parrot swinging in his cage, uttered a mocking laugh. There has been some dispute as to the descent of the dog—whether it is an im proved progeny of the wolf or a distinct ariety. That it la not a different species is proved by the fact that the dog and the wolf will mate and produce offspring Nevertheless it is probablq that tbs dog is merely descender] from the same orig inal stock with the wolf “Castoifabaotrcn adapted to children that I recommend its* superior to any prescription known to me." n.
