A fatuous traveler says that In Muy and until the middle of June th* tender leaves of the great sal-trees are literally nllve with voracious caterpillars. The presence of these caterpillars in such overwhelming numbers is explained by the fact that they are distasteful to birds.

There are two species, one a bright coral and the other green with stripes. They can break their fall from the tall tree's by 'ettine themselves down on lung silk* ’treads. Stindny Jiorninn.

She looked at the two opposite, glanced at th* card and said, "Bring me a dam chowder.” This Is a fact, and there is every reason to suppose that nothing but coffee sud cnki*s uud chowder was served at that table all th* afternoon or nt least a* long ns wavering Indies snt J own at it—i'Lliadelplila Bulletin. — FAIRY TALES.

Gargoylej are quaintly formed beads, faces or figures used in ancient times for decorative purposes and chiefly applied as the terminals of watersjiouts upon roofs or gables. The raiu stream was arranged to flow through the mouth, und the word gargoyle itself Is an attempt to Imitate the "gurgling" sound made by the water in passing through the throat of the grotesque monster. Gargoyles were the caricatures of mediaeval times. Many were carved by monkish masons, who took the opportunity of handing on to posterity the distorted linen meats of their fellows or even of their superiors, recognizable as likenesses from some prominent cbaractorfeiic. Th* famous gargoyle.! of Notre Dame In I'arls ure supposed to have had some such origin, while others of supposedly the same origin are to he seen in churches throughout Drltt.-.ny and Normandy as well as here and there in England —Loudon Telegraph. uturary TUivve*.
