The method ut serving light refnsh i taents during un afternoon call iiinong people In Egypt is somewhat peeir-.;u and may not Lie generally known io tho English people at home. A tray Is brought In bearing one or more va rieties of Jam or sweetmeats, a Hum bor of glas-i's containing water and spoons corresponding to the iiimilit-r 'jf guests present. As the tray .Is car ried around each person takes one of the spoons and. after helping liinixclf ' to a spoonful of Jam. places the used' spoon In one of ihe glasses of water. Svinetlnies biscuits and cakes are also offered. The custom appeal's to be of ! ancient origin. It might bo thought that one bowl or glass would sullice for the 'ised spoons, but custom die tntcs that each person must have a separate glass In which to put th used spoon. The glasses contain pure Wiiter, which tho guests tuny drink should they so desire. London Tit lilts. Poison of the Centipede. The centipede Is popularly supposed to carry a sting on each foot, but I have several t Ivies handled one after 1U head was removed without the claws producing any result. It Is the Gist pair of claws only that are ven omous, being hollow and provided wltn poison bags like u snake's fan. The largest 1 ever saw was eleven Inches In length, a grewsome creature. A U'e from one of this size would most likely have been fatal to a man In wak health. The tarautnla. though bin pow ers of offense are nothing like iboe of the scorpion or centipede. K bow over, a more unpopular character tn-in either. The horror of thes large . pi iters ontortali'ed by many p-ople -cujioiiH ant unaccountable.
