Spaniards canuot cook without garlic.
Often as I have asked for something
without ajo, never did I lind anything but
hr.-l soiim taint of garlic.
It nay bo unnecessary to speak of the
inordb.i.-ito smoking of tho Spaniards.
They uro- uuerpialod bv any nation in tho
world as smoko producers. It is very
hard to meet oue, morning, noon or night,
without the inevitable cigarette attach
ment. 1 mention it as a discovery that I
met one Spaniard who did not smoke.

The Spr niard bends his cigarette down

They thought it great f mi to make me the
subject of their badinage. JIv future was
prophesied by one of the daughters. Was

indeed a juv-ial tet, and did much, by
their talking and singing, to enliven tho
trip.
t I waa surprised to find many of the
oaauiards in the, car were of enormous
etattuv. Usually the Spaniard of the
tcwus is fdight and undersized. The
numerous cloaks, sashes, knives, and so
forth, make the slenderest Spaniard quite
robust in appearance.

INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS.
The i:flot Irodured by KurtlMjuakf a
Upon tlio Ixmcr Aiilaiul.
In the la.-t issue of the "Transactions
of tho Seismoli.gieal Society of Japan,"
l'rofessor Milne, the- well known student
of volcanic: phenomena, discusses tho ef
fects of earthquakes on animals. Th!
record.'! of most great earthquakes refer
to tho consternation of d"gs, horsefi,
cattle and other d-iaa--.1 i; animals, lash
also ara frequently effected. In tho Ijou
ion earthquake of ll'.i), roach and otLcr
lisli ia a canal showed evident t-igi.'s of
confusion aal f riei? ; und sometimes
after na earthquake fish riao to thosur
face dead and dying.
Durirar tho Tokio earthquake of 1SS0,
cats inside a house tan i.bout trying to
t.-.eapo, fuxes braked, horaes tried to kick
down tho board i conlining them to their
btables. Thcra can, therefore, bo no
doubt that animals know something un
usual and terrifying is takiag place.
More Interesting than these aro the ob
servations showing that animals t'.ro agi
tated just before an earthquake. Ponies
have been known to prance about their
stalls, pheasants ta scream, and frogs to
cease croaking suddenly a little time bo
fore a shock, as if awaro of its coming.
Tho Japanese say that moles show their
agitation by burrowing. Cieese, pigs and
dogs appear more sensitive iu this respect
than other animals. After the great
Calabrian -thquake It is said that the
neighing of , jorse, tho brayingof an ass,
or the cackle of a goose was sufficient to
cause tho inhabitants to fly from their
houses in expectation of a shock.
Many birds are said to show their un
easiness before an earthquake by hiding
their heads under their wings and behav
ing in an unusual manner. At tho time
of tho Calabrian shock, little fish liko sand
eels (cirricelli), which are usually buried
in the sand, came to tho top and were
caught in multitudes. In South Amer
ica certain quadrupeds, such as dogs,
cats and jerboas, are believed by tho peo
ple to give warning of coming danger by
their restlessness; sometimes immense
flocks of sea birds fly inland before an
earthquake, as if alarmed by tho com
mencement of Boino sub-oceanic disturb
ance. Before tho shock of lWSa in Chili,
all the dogs are said to have escaped from
tlin city of Trdcahuano.
Tho explanation offered by Professor
Milne of t his apparent prescience is that
some animals are sensitive to tho small
tremors which precede nearly all earth
quakes, lie has himself felt tLem some
seconds before tho actual earthquake
came. Tlie alarm of intelligent animals
would then bo tho result of their own
experience, which has taught them that
small tremcrs are premonitory of move
incuts mora alarming. Signs of alarm
days before an earthquake are probably
cectaental; hut sometimes In volcanic
districts gas:;s have emanated from the
ground prior to earthquakes and have
poisoned animals. In one caso large num
bers of lish were killed in this way ia tho
Tiber, and at FoIIonica on tho morning of
April G. 1S7-1, "tho streets and roads were
covered with dead rats aud mice. In fact,
it seemed as if it had rained rats. The
oidy explanation of the phenomena was
that these animals had been destroyed by
emanations of carbon dioxide." Scientific
American.
T?io Chinaman's Lovo of Home.
Tho ties of locality aro very strong
among the Chinese, and hence now fami
lies, as they are formed, settle down in
lifo in the immediate vicinity of that from
which they sprung. Thus one commonly
sees groups, or nests, of families gathered
about the parent stock. Whole villages
may be found composed almost exclusively
of persons of the same name, and contain
ing four and even five generations of one
family.
"Smithville," "Jonesville," or, to trans
late more exactly, "Tho village of the
Chang family," "the town of the Wang
family," "Tho Li ParuUy Crossroads"
these and similar names of hamlets, vil
lages and cities are so frequent through
out China that they give a large fraction
of all the names to places in tlie empire.
The class of "globo trotters," as they
aro called persons of wealth who travel
around the-globe sight seeing form a
never solved puzzle to the mind of the
Chinese. A Chinaman pevex leaves his
home excopt from necessity. While ab
sent, whether in foreign lands, or jn feuui
other part of ds own (ttftuir.n
look.3 upon ' ue always
-wu as an exile, is always
. .e or less homesick, and, no matter
how dirty and squalid his native village
may be, he looks forward to his return to
the wretched place as the chief joy of his
life.
The Chinaman is not, and, without ati
entire change of his nature, cannot, be
come a colonist. lie is an acute and care
ful merchant, a patient, faithful and dili
gent laborer, but, above everything else,
his home ties are strong. While ho wan
ders all over the earth and submits to all
sorts of privations, abuses and hardships,
ho ia only a wanderer whoso doepest do
siro is for home, a quiet old age with his
family, and, above everything else, burial
in the tombs of his fathers. Chester W.
Holcombe in Youth's Companion.
Andrew Lang's New Game.
It is "my own invention;" alone I did it,
and can recommend it as more than com
mon, tedious and destructive of the hap
piness of nations. By this game alone a
company may bo driven to bed an hour
earlier than usual, and the comfort of the
families may be wrecked at the lowest
possible figure. Directions for playingthe
new intellectual game of poets and paint
ers: Each person being provided with a
eheet of paper and pencil, which the
owner will never see again, the dealer
makes a nonsense rhyme. An example is
here given for the instruction of country
gentlemen. Example:
There was an old man of Toronto,
And people cried: "'SVhere has be gone to?
Here's bis table and chair,
But where is ho, where.
This invisible man of Toronto?"
When tho dealer has composed a gem of
this kind he docs not show it, but illus
trates it by a drawing. This he circulates
among the company, and each of them has
to make a nonsense verse on the incident
illustrated by the sketch. The worse you
draw the better. The dealer then repeats
the truo original rhyme, and the others
aie read aloud by the person in tho com
pany least skilled in deciphering hand
writing. A box containing the game and
rules for playing it, with pencils or
crayons (lead pencils 2s., colored 5s.), may
be obtained at the office of the society for
propagating intellectual games. Long

At the last moment it became evident
that if Patti was not to sing to an anav

The priii-rai! i--' o' exertion,
is t. ' ' . ...uct of tho country now
i oanana. Formerly Honduras was
a great sugar producing country, aud
large areas of land were devoted to rais
ing sugar cane, but owing to low prices
tho crop became unprofitable and tho
farmers have nearly all turned their at
tention to tho cultivation of bananas.
Plantains and cocoanuts also flourish
there. Lemons and oranges are cultivat
ed to a very limited extent, and tho
Indians in tho interior of tho country
raise some corn.
Tho banana crop, however, is the chief
source of revenue in tho country, and it
is a very profitable crop. The larger
number of inhabitants of British Hon
duras are Scotch people, who have sett'ed
there and aro doiag well. There are also
quite a number of Americans and people
of other countries ia the state. Tho prov
ince is a small ono and is surrounded on

Cost of Killinj: a Ttlan.
It doesn't coet so very much to kill men
in the west. Cf course you cannot cut or
shoot a man down with impunity, and
murder is sometimes as severely punished
there as it is anywhere else; but what I
raea'.i to say is that it doesn't cost much
to kiil a man by accident. You frequently
hoar of cave ins in mines or fractured
skui'.s by falling down winzes or shafts,
and the thought that comes to you natur
ally is that the mine owners have to pay
o!uC0 cr 010.UOO damages. That isn't so.
A sht while ago four men were killed ia
a mino near Leadviile. They wero Ital
ians, and tli3 widows or families of the
ra:-n were more than delighted to receive
$1. C00 and the funeral expenses. In the
sa ?ie mine more than ten men have been
killed, and never more than 1,000 Las
been paid. Tho plan in the west, when a
