WOUNDING A FIRE:
Am Odd Saweratltle That Date Back
to Aacleat Tlanes.
A curious modern attempt to ration
alize one of the oldest of superstitions
Is to ie found jo, Kipling's "Life's
Handicap'." There Mulvaney checks
the author from -stirring the fire with
Ortberis' bayonet on the ground that
fire takes the heart out of the steel.
The real reason is much more mysteri
ous. It was' one of the maxims of
Pythagoras -"not to stir the fire with
a sword," and to this day the wander
lug tribes of North America and of
northeast Asia hold .it a sin to take
up a burning ember for a pipe light
with the point of a knife. The ex
planation is undoubtedly given by Jo
hanues de Piano Carplni when he tells
us that one of the Tartar superstitions
concerns "sticking7 a knife into the fire
or in any way touching the fire with
a'kuife or even taking meat out of the
kettle with a knife, or cutting near the
fire with au ax, 'for they believe that
so the head of the fire would be cut
off."
This' is evidently connected with the
ancient idea that 'fire Is a living crea
ture, a sacred animal, which must not
be wouuded by its human owners in
case, it .should be annoyed and deprive
them of Its valuable services. Is this
In any degree more irrational than the
belief still existent among housekeep
ers -that a feeble fire can be made to
burn up by laying the poker across it
London Outlook.
TEA BUGS AND TEA MITES.
They Are the Plaajaea f tke
.. Tea Caracas.
Every animal and plant has its.para
slte, and 'from this general, law, it
seems, the tea plant. Is not exempt
Two insects are described as spending
their lives in tea drinking. " They are
the plague of the Assam tea gardens
and are known as the tea bug and tea
mite.
The mites spend their entire lives on
the tea plant .and are never known to
attack any other leaf. They live in
families and societies on the upper
side of the full grown leaf and spin a
delicate web for a shelter.' They then
puncture the leaves and pump out the
liquid hi the plant veins.-
They seem to become very dainty lu
their tastes, for a sprinkling of mud
dy water over their floor and ea table
is the only remedy known to check
their ravages. Even r, this is not al
ways effectual.
Tbe teabug Is still more destructive
and Is evidently possessed of an ap
preciation of the best kinds' of tea,
since" It always attacks flame of a
mild and delicate -flavor. 8uch as af
ford harsh and rasping liquors are al-
entlreJy free from tta attacks.-

- The moist heat of that there land, with
Its.nlghts of 110 degrees and its noons

A little girl went for the first time to
church with her mother. All went well
during the service, but the child grew
uneasy during the sermon, which was
a long one. The mother tried in every
way to keep the little girl quiet but in
vain. Finally the child observed that
the preacher bad a pompous way of in

wont; he's swelling up again." Wom
