Deceived Children,

Riding in the cars few days since,
says a writer, l heard a mother say to
an uproarIous child:
''Jamie, be still If you don't stop
your screaming Pll throw you out of the
car window; certain sure! Hush, now,
or you'll see what Pll doP
The child, boy about two years old,
looked his astonishment at the threat,
but his cries were not much lessened.
The mother took him up in her arms as
though she would throw him out, when
he screamed in frantic terror and clung
to her neck with such appalling fear thai
she was forced to hush with kisses, ca.
resses and candy. After a while he fell
asleep, worn out with his tumultuous
passion. Poor childl
A little girl OF four or five, who had
watched the whole scene silently, tbui
with the deepest interest, and who
when her mother motioned to throw hel
brother from the window, had caugnt
her arm in terror, now said:
"Mamma, would you have thrown
jamie outW
"No, indeed, child" replied the moth
er; ~ only wished to frighten him."
nFrighten him." for sooth, She sue
ceeded in it far better than she expect
ed ,>and at the same time taught her lit
tie girl a lesson in falseho0d, and also IL
contempt tor her mother, for the expires

Exhibition of Insects in Paris,

The Insect Exhibition in the Tuileries
Gardens was opened few days since.
1t was M. Ducuipg who did the honors
| OF the 0rangrey, where the insects are on
view. These creatures are divided into
two great classes. The benefcent are
on zone side and the malevolent on the
other. The bee and the sllkworm have
a prominent place in the exhibition.
was glad to see the SPIDERS claim to hui
man gratitude allowed. Crickets, bee
! ties, and other familiar insects, which we
treat as enemies, are placed among the
auXllaries. The direct and indirect util-
ity Of the ant are lectured upon by an
aged savant, who has spent MS life in
studying the ways of insects in the
woods and vineyards of the Jura, and
seeking to penetrate the mysteries of
their nervous systems.
The terrible PhylloYera is an object of
peculiar interest to Partisan families,
because of the rise. this mischievious lit
tie insect has caused in the price of Or
dinary wines produced on the alluvial
soils, where it most multiplies. Each
insect is pinned to card, stating briefly
its natural enemies, habits, appetites,
capacities of increase, uses (direct Or
indirectly, or the ravages IL commits in
accomplishing its destiny. Exhibitions
of this kind would be more useful in
market towns on market days than. in
Paris.
The improved beehives on sale at the
Insect Exhibition enable the apicultu-
rists to take away the superhuons honey
without danger to the bees.
In an anneXe there is collection Of
insectiverous birds. Each bird has round
its neck the bill Of iare which its palate
and necessities dictate. l was never in
an exhibition which more interested me
than this. One comes away with the i'm
preston that if man is at the head Of
created beings, nature has a care for
her more Insignificant children, and will
not suffer them to be stamped out of ex-
lstence with impunity. We must not
overmuch interfere with her general
plan in cultivating the ground. The nat
ural OF proyidentlal government Of the
world, and the distribution of its ali
mentary resources between the various
species of created beings, are so very
complicated that OmniscIence alone can
clearly see where good darkens into
evil, and evil brightenS into good. The
agl1cuturist who does not respect ma
ture's system of checks and balances
will lind himself, in The long run, a SUI
ferer for it.-London News.

No matter now good the soil, how care
iul the watering, the plant will not -four
ish if its vitality is being constantly
weakened by insects. These not only
live upon the juices of the plant, but
some of them cover its leaves with a
web, which, though almost invisible,
closes the pores through which the
plant breathes. Water, soap and tobac-
co, are the three chief remedies, and
they are readily applied. A bath-tub, or
large sink, will allow a plant TO be
laid on it's side and thoroughly drenched
on both surfaces, with slightly warm wa
ter from a watering pot or syringe.
Ivies, camellias, and other smooth-leav-
ed plants, can have each leaf sponged
with soap and water with a brush-an
old toothbrush will answer. Tobacco
infusion is sometimes used. the plant is
dipped in it, and little while after rims
ed in water. A smoking box can be
easily contrived. A dry-goods box, large
enough to allow smoke to be made and
not heat plants too much, will answer.
Scale of all kinds can be picked off, and
this is the best way to treat the mealy

A Cunning SoIdier-The Price of Two Potatoes
in 1906,

The following anecdote of the first N a.
poleon was related by an Englishman,
who was considerable time in the
French military service, and who youch-
es for its authenticity.
The evening before the battle OF Ulm,
when Napoleon the First, in company
with Marshal Bertheir, was walking in
cognit0 through the camp and listening to
the talk of his soldiers, he saw in a group
not far off grenadier of the Guard, who
| was roasting some potatoes in the ashes.
~ should like roast potato above all
| things" said the Emperor to the Mar
shall; 'ask the owner Of them il he will
sell one"
In obedience to the order, Berthier
advanced to the group and asked to
whom the potatoes belonged. A grena-
dier stepped forward and said, "They
"Wili you sell me one?" inquired Ber-
| thier.
."I have only five," said the grenadier,
sand that's hardly enough for my sup
per-"
81 will give you two Napoleons If you
will sell me one," continued Berthier.
| 81 don't want your gold," said the
grenadier; 81 shall be killed, perhaps
tomorrow, and don't want the enemy
to find me with an empty stomach"
Berthier reported the soldiers answer
to the emperor, who was standing lit
| tie in the background.
ssLets see If I shall be luckier thar
you," said the latter, and going up close
to the grenadier, he asked him il he
would sell him potato.
"Not by long shot," answered the
grenadier: 81 haven't enough for my
self"
"But you may set your own price,
said Napoleon. "Come, I am hungry
and haven't eaten to-day"
81 tell you ! haven't enough for my
self,n repeated the grenadier; abesides
all that, do you think / don't know yol

MARCH.

March! March! March! They are coming
In troops to the tune of the wind;
Red headed woodpeckers drumming,
Gold-crested thrushes behind;
Sparrows in brown jackets hopping
Past every gateway and door;
Finches with crimson caps stopping
just where they stopped years before.
March! March! Marcn They are slipping
Into their places at last
Little white lily buds, dripping
Under the showers that fall fast;
Buttercups, violets, roses;
Snowdr0p, and bluebell and pink;
Throng upon throng of sweet posles,
Bending the dewdrop to drink.
March! March! March! They will hurry
Forth at the wild bugle sound
Blossoms and birds in a furry,
Fluttering over the ground,
Hang out your flags, birch and willow!
Shake out your red tassels, larch!
Grass birds, up from your earth-pillow!
Hear who ID calling you-March!

The Art of Compliment.

A delicate compliment is work of far
higher art than the most biting sarcasm.
The court OF Louis XIV. seems to have
been the school where the art was
brought to perfection. Witness the in
imitable reply of Mgnard, who was
painting the. kings portrait for the
tenth time, when Louis asked him, 'Do
look olderw Il see few more cam
paiSns on the brow of your majesty" Ii
is only fair to Louis to acknowledge that
he could himself bestow praise with
more grace than any other monarch OF
whom history makes mention. After the
battle OF Senef he received the great
Conde of state. The prince was suffer.
ing from sharp attack of the gout, and
made his way somewhat painfully up the
steps to the royal staircase, at the head
of which was the king. Conde beggeL ii
the king to forgive him for thus keeping
his majesty waiting. Louis hastened To
take your time; when one is SO heavily
laden with laurels it is impossible to
TO walk fast" 1t is an old reproach
against Orientals that they can not un.
derstand joke, and that they are still
less able to say pretty things to ladies
but daughter of Louis XIV, the Prin.
cess de Cont, inspired the Moorish am
bassador with as gracefully turned a
compliment as can be imagined. She had
rallied him against the Mohammedan
custom of polygamy, and the Moor thus
defended the practice: "Madame, plural.
ity of wives is allowed among us, be.
cause in our country we must seek in
several women the charming qualities
which are here to be found in one." Wit,
like money, is of no country.

The present from the Egyptian ruler
to Mrs. Minnie Sherman Fitch was
brought about by Gen. Charles p. Stone,
formerly of the United States army and
now ON the Khediye's staff. Mr.. stephen
d. Merchant, Commercial Agent of
Egypt in this city, says that Gen..Stone
and Gen. Sherman are old friends. They
first knew each other in San Francisco
twenty years ago. Gen. Stone was sta
toned there from 1851 to 1856 as Chief of
Ordnance of the Pacific Department.. He
resigned to become Il banker, and it was
then that he made the acquaintance OF
Gen. Sherman, who was partner in the
banking house of Lucas. Strong & Co.
Each helped the other in business.
When the rebellion broke out Gen. Stone
was made Inspector General OF Noiun-
teers in the District of Columbia, and
while there he again met Gen. Sherman,
WHO served as Colonel at the defense
of the capital for two months. After the
war Gen. Stone went to Egypt and Joined
the Khedlve's army. The Khediye made
him II Fakir Pasha, rank next to that
OF prince of the royal family. 1t COR
responds with the title of General in
this country. TWAS through Gen. Stone

Wool YIELD.-we have waited several weeks on promise from John Marion to furnish some statistics to the yield of wool in this county, but since he has laid down the pen and become a sheep herder 1t Is difficult to induce him to take 1t up, even temporarily, and We have to strike somewhat at random. Mir. Carpenter sheared 1000 stcep and obtained nearly 5000 pounds of wool, or within a fraction of five pouhds 10 tie sheep. Marion sheared some 1900. which were bought of the same parties and yielded about the same as Carpenters. He has bought some six or seven hundred since and now has flock of over 1000. besides several hundred lambs. Jim Oneal sheared late last Fall and early this Spring, con sequently his clip was light compared with what 1t ought have been, but he had not received re. turns from it he could not give us the figures. Campbell t Baker also shcared early and the yield was not heavy, though arc informed that their wool is almost clean if II had been secured, and they expect 10 make up in price what it lacks in weight. There are several other hocks in the county but we have been unable 10 get any figures as 10 now they have yielded.
