Farm and Garden Insects.

Farmers and gardeners seldom attempt
to study the habits of those insects which
they meet on every side. This is great
oversight, and the destruction of fruits,
flowers, and grain by insects is owing, in
a great measure, 10 want of knowledge
in regard to their habits. Most people
consider that the study of entomology is
the special business of a few scientific en-.
tomologists, who rarely attempt to do
more than to classify and describe the
species, leaving the practical part of the
science to others. r
TO learn the habits, history, and yari-
GUS transformations of species is the PROV
ince of those whosworic in the fieids and
forests, but we regret to say that the mum
Der of persons who do this, or take any
interest in the subject, is comparatively

ing ignorance of this all-important branch
of natural history. Who should know,
or have greater personal interest in
knowing, something of insect life, than
farmers and gardeners, who cannot escape
being brought into contact with it almost
every day of their livesY Injurious as
well as beneficial insects abound every
where, and when we consider the fact
that every species has one or more enc
mics of its own kind, it is self,evident
that the names and history of both friends
and foes must be known, else all may
perish by our hands alike.
Ignorance is certainly the cause ol
source of all our troubles in farm life, as
well as In every department of human in
dustry. For instance, farmer may finG
that his meadows are being DESTROYED by
what is generally known as the. Hwhiti
grub" but if he has no knowledge of thil
insect he will make very slow progress
in destroying IL, and perhaps waste tim,
aud money upon nostrums recommended
by itinerant vendors who are ever ready
to take advantage of .tha Ignorant
Now, the various species of MAJ
beetles are the parents of the whit
grubs found in our meadows anC
gardens, some requiring one year, anC
others three or four, to undergo thei
transformations therefore 1t is eviden
that If we destroy the beetles we vii
have no grubs, and vice 0ersG. If MAJ
desires TO break up q meadow infested
with white grubs and plant potatoes upOi
the same, he must expect to have his crol
badly damaged by this pest. If straw
berries are set out the chances are tina
every plant will be killed by the grub
Snch land should be planted with corr

oats, until the grubs have either beel
killed by tillago or have finished thei
transformations and become beetles, a
which time they will surely leave, for thi

Light and the Complexion.

The action $s 'ight on the human skin
is manifest. 1t browns and. tans the tegu-
ments, by calling out the production of
the coloring matters they contain. The
parts of the body usually bare, as the skin
of the face and hands, are darker than
others. In the same region, country
people ore more tanned than city resid
ents. In latitudes not far apart, the in
habitants of the same country vary in
complexion in a measure preceptibly re-
lated to the intensity of solar light. In
Europe three varieties of color in the skin
are distinctly marked; olive-brown, with
black hair, beard and eyes; chestnut, with
tawny beard and blush eyes; blonde,
with fair, light beard and sky.blue eyes.
White skins show more readily altera-
tions occasioned by light and heat; but,
though less striking, facts of variation in
color are observable in others. The Scy-
tho-Arabic race has but half its represen-
tatives in Europe and Central Asia, while
the remainder passes down to the Indian
Ocean, continuing to show the gradual
rising heat of climate by deepening brown
compilations. The Himalayan Hindoos
are almost white; those of the Deccan, of
Coromandel, Malabar and Ceylon are
darker than some negro tribes. The

and Syria, are deep brown in Yemen and
Muscat. The Egyptians, as we go from
the mouths of the Nile up stream to,
ward its source, present an ascending
chromatic scale, from white to black, and
the same is true of the Tuariks on the
southern side of Mount Atlas, who are
only light olive, while their brethren in
the interior of Africa are black. The an
cient monuments of Egypt show us fact
equally significant. The men are always
depicted of reddish brown; they lived
in the open air, while the women, kept
shut up, have pale, yellow complexion,
Barrow asserts that the Mantchoo Tartari
have grown whittier during their abode In

The New Secretary.

AGAIN has Massachusetts been hOnored
in the appointment of one of her sons to
the most responsible position in the coun-
Gil of the nation. The selection of Judge
Richardson to fill the place made vacant
by the resignation of Secretary Boutwell,
is not only strict following out of the
rules of civil-service reform, but il insures-
to the country tried and experienced ser
want, whose labors have entitled him to the
confidence of the country, and whose
record in the past is sufficient guarantee
of his official conduct in the future In
taking this step, President Grant has again
affirmed the right to control his own APP
pOintments, and denied the right of poll
ticians to interfere with the laws which
were expressly framed in regard 10 them.
Prominent Congressman, who. few
months ago were patriotically rampant in.
regard TO civil-service reform, have since
the resignation of the Secretary, hung
round the White House with their little
axes urging that in this especial case the
law be set aside and their candidates, the
best and fittest men in the country, be
given the position. The pressure was
strong, and it was confidently believed by.
some of the more sanguine that the Presi-
dent must give way. He read the petit
tiOns, listened TO the arguments, and acted.
The country indorses that action, and halls
its result with undisguised satisfaction.
During Judge Richardson's official
term of service as Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury he proved himself eminently
fitted for the position. 1t was evident that
Mr. Boutwell,, in selecting him to fill II
place of almost equal responsibility with
his own, had not acted from feeling of
friendship alone, as was charged by the
opposition, but from II knowledge of his
| peculiar capabilities for the performance
of the particular and difficult duties of the
department. Those inimical 20 that selec-
tion were fond of saying that Judge Rich
ardson was merely the shadow of Mr..
| Boutwell,, and that were the Secretary to
be suddenly taken away, the country would
be financially ruined. And yet, at various
times, during the temporary absence OF
that distinguished official, Judge Richard
son held the reins and carried out the
| policy of the department with firm hand
and most excellent judgment. In 1871 he
was sent abroad by the department upon
one of the most peculiar and difficult
errands that has ever fallen to the lot ofone
occupying his position. In the
summer of that year he set
up, in effect, a branch of the United States
Treasury in London, for the sale Of pei
cent bonds in the European market. His
financial project, which in the hands OF
nine men out of ten would have proved q
disastrous failure, through the energy and
foresight of Judge Richardson, resulted in
complete success, and compelled an ac
acknowledgement of his ability from the
grumblers of his own party, and tho
chronically dissatisfied members of thu
opposition.
There is no reason to suppose that thu

The Administration.

UNDER the head of THE Administra-
iton" the Baltimore american has the fol
lowing: The re-appointment of the Cabi-
net which had assisted President Grant in
the administration of the Government
during his first term was an event so gen
orally anticipated that it excited but little
comment, although, indeed, it was strange
to the usual course of American politics.
1t meant, of course, that as the President
rightly and justly held the result of the
election to be a popular Yindication of
himself from the outrageous and false as
saults which were made upon him person
ally, and upon his policy during the last
campaign, his Cabinet were entitled TO
share in the vote of confidence which had
been rendered at the ballotbox in Novem-
Der. For, in so far as the coarse aacusa-
tiOns and abundant assertions of corrup-
ton uttered against the entire Admins
tration last summer, applied to all the gen
tlemen through whom the public affairs
were governed, they had the right to as
sumo their proportion of the triumphant
acquittal which the vast majority of the
people gave. Hence we conceive that the
President did the most proper thing posi-
BILE in continuing them in office, thereby
posting notice to the country that as the
fingers of the hand which guide the ship
of State they were, too indissolubly con,
nected with it to be severed from the
reward Of the hearty approval which had
been bestowed upon the general direction
and control. of the public trusts by the
Administration, which, in the campaign
underwent the test Of national criticism
