Power OF SMELL IN FISH.-A writer IN
London Lind and Water says
In a few instances the hakes mistoOk

one bite in thirty, and [ account for
the mistake in this manner As four hun
dred hakes were taken in this one night, a
great number of these must have been

the competition for the same counterfeit
bait the sinker) caused these few to
snap at the siuker without first smell

thrown among j group of boys, both coins
and counter eits would be eagerly grasped
at and such no doubt would have been
the case with the hakes al the bait and the
counterfeit bait (the sinker), but for their
discrimination by the sense Of smell.

\ Be SToRY.-General divers exper-
ience OF bee sagacity is related by the Bos-
ton Trare2er Many years ago he was
an amateur bee-keeper, and great favor
lite with those wise little creatures He
kept a hive or two in mis- own garden at
Saem-which, as everybody knows, is full
of gardens-and took great delight in
communing with his garden friends. One
day, after removing small swarm to a
new place in his garden, he went down
town to the reading room, and while stand
ing near an open window, was suddenly
acoosted by honey bee which seemed to
know him and to have something of impor-
tance to communicate to him. But it did
not occur to him that this visit had any
particular significance, and so after look
ing over the papers awhile, he went about
his business, entering on his way another
public room where, to his surprise, he
was followed by the same bee, or another
very anxious to gain his attention At
length it occurred to him that this might
be one of his own bees sent to appTise him
of trouble in his garden. He accordingly
returned home and found his suspicious
verified. The little new swarm had been
attacked by larger swarm, which was
then in the act of robbing the hive Of all
its treasured honey and the bees which
the General had met down town had been
sent off in pursuit Of their friend and mas
ter, to implore his aid

Service Commission has been organized gives
the President Authority to prescribe such
rules and regulations for the admission of
persons into the civil service of the United
States as will best promote the efficiency
thereof and this very ample authority will
certainly embrace the right to require that
the persons admitted into the service shall
have been found qualified by competent ex-
aminers 1t has been argued that a right in
Congress to limit in the least the field OF Sc
lection implies a right to carry on the COL
tracting process to the designation of par
tcular individual; but l do not think this a
fair conclusion. Congress couldrequire that
officers shall be Of American citizenship, or
of certain age; that Judges shouTd be Of
the legal profession and still leave room to
the appointing power for the exercise of his
own judgment and will and | am not pre-
pared to affirm that TO 20 further and require
that the selection shall be made from persons
found by an Examining Board to be qualified
in such particulars is diligence, scholarship,
integrity, good manners, and attachment to
the Government, would impose an unconsti-
tutionil limitation on the appointing power.
1t would still have reasonable scope for
its own judgment and viii. But it may be
asked, At what point may the contracting
process stop? | confess my inability to an
swer. But the difficulty Of drawing a line
between such limitations and such as
are not allowed by the Constitution is no
proof hat both classes DO not exist. In con-
stituti0nal and legal inquiries, right or
wrong is often a question OF degree yet il is
impossible to tell precisely where in the
scale right ceases and wrong begins. In the
matter now in question, it Is not supposable
that Congress or the President would re-
quire OF candidates for Office qualifications
unattaiuable by sufficient number to afford
ample room for choice Very respectfully,

nstice. The deacon was a man OF rather
diminutive size, and walked as lightly as
a cat. He had approached thepulpit with
the notice in his hand unperceived by the
minister. and was on the stairs, within
reach when the minister raised his hands.
The deacon, to attract his attention, twig-
gled his coat-tail. OF course the minister
thought it was dog, aud that it was neces-
sary for him TO kick once more which he
did. The deacon not on the lockout like
the dogs, received the minister's foot in
his side and tumbled headlong down the
stairs
There was a scream, a rush of the dea-
cons family, a general uprising Of the
whole congregation, and exit OF the dogs.
In the midst ofthis confusion, the minister
waved his hand to restore order. After
the people were seated and quiet again
regned, he told the people the story of
the sausages in all its particulars, which
seemed a satisfactory explanation, and the
funeral proceeded but the minister was
never known to carry sausages IN his pock
cts again.

The author of an amusing and instruc-
tive work on pertumery asks why ladies
should not cultivate flowers for their scent
as well as for their color, and he suggests
a means Of Of obtaining heGotrope pomade
which any person may put in practice. An
ordinary giue-pot, made thoroughly clean,
Is IN fact tain Marie on 4 small scale
Place IN the pot a pound of fine lard, and
when the hehotrope-hOwers are in season,
throw them into the clarified fat. Place
the glue-pot near the fire of the greenhouse
so as just to liquify the lard Let the
flowers remain in the liquid for twenty
four hours, strain the fat from the spent
flowers, and 60 on repeating the operation
for week; the result will be a pomade a Ia

an extract by sleeping the odorous fat IN
highly recti6ed spirits. In this manner a
young lady may make her own perfumes.

Forty RATTLFsNAKEs N ONE LOG. The

for the following Last Saturday Messrs.
Isaac Wentz and Isaac Corl Of Pavia,

work on Mr. VENTS premises, and dis
turning the slumbers of huge rattlesnake

for battle. 1t took but a moment TO de-
spatch him. but our friends learned that
this one was only the advances guard of a

amounted to thirty nine. and with the one
previously killed, forty. OF the thirty
nine in the log, six were old ones and thir-

An EXCITING FIGHT WITH WILD Cars
For three or four months past farmers liv-
ing in Brownstown and Huron townships
have been very much annoyed by two wild
cats, which inhabited a swamp in the latter
township.
Last Sunday three men mounted their
horses and rode to the swamp, taking three
dogs along. For several hours they beat
about the place without discovering any
signs of the animals but at length one OF
the dogs, which was prospecting in the
swamp on his own account, set up fearful
howl, and came to the men with his back
well scratched. The other dogs then drove
the cat out of the swamp and up tree,
and she was despatched by a rife shot.
The farmers had no idea of the presence of
another. They were seated under a tree,
eating cold bite, when male cat, con-
siderably larger than the one slain, came
out Of the swamp, and attacked a dog
which was just then tapping water at a
small pond the other dogs Joined in, and

CLEANING STRAW MATING AND On
CLoTH.-It IS said that straw mating
may be kept newlooking and bright by
washing it twice during the summer with
warm solution made by dissolving a pint
OF salt in half a pailful Of soft water,
the object of the salt being to prevent it
from turning yellow. After washing, the
mating should be quickly dried with a
soft cloth
1t is also said that by wiping oil-cloth
all over, after being scrubbed aud dried,
with cloth dipped in mix, the colors viii
come out clearand bright, and remain dis
tinct throughout the year. This does not
track off like oil used for the same pur-
pose.

SELECTION OF INSECTS FOR FooD BY
BIRDs.-Athough we look, aud with am
pie reason. to the birds as the main agency
IN destroying insects injurious to vegeta-
ton, observation shows thatd fferent forms
of insects are molested by them in very
different degrees. This is especially the
case in regard to the Lepid0ptera. some
forms of which are not touched by any
birds whatever, and others again are de-
voured BY some AMI spared by others. As
a general rule, it is said that the most
beautiful and brilliantly colored Lepidopte-
ra owe their safety to their tints, as the
bird first attacks the most striking portion,
namely, the red hinder wing, and the in
sect tears itself away and escapes. Hairy
caterpillars, again, are less eaten than the
smooth species, not only perhapson account
of their bristly covering, but their more
nauseous taste The estreaked caterpillars,
spotted with yellow, are usually refused,
while all the smooth and dark kinds, es-
pecially those resembling plants in color,
or of reddish tint, ares generally devoured
with great avidity.

CHILD TRAINING.-Theg great doctrine to
teach child is, that he must labor for
what he wants. Is it riches let him stop
envying those who have made money, and
60 to work and make it himself Is it the
position which character gives? let him
build up good reputation for himself Is
it talent? let him study to improve his
mind. Possibly, he may come honestly by
somebody else's money, without working
for it, but he can't inherit an education.
knowledge requires brain work and there
is no getting over it. A man may die and
cave his money, but he can't leave him
his education.

Where stony roads wound weary, bleeding feet,
And pitiless rcd suns pour down such heat
That soldiers faces pale before MONDAY,

And when the ring, out, fun. ceaI and sweet
The nerveless limbs grow sudden strong and fleet
The lifel IS hearts grow, sudden, brave and gay;
So every weary one, half faltering

And light his soul, and certain triumph bring
His days by high resolve, which, uttering

The air with bravest notes. VIII viii
