A Dormant Wasp.

Says the Burlington Hawkeye A
West Hill minister picked up a frozen
wasp on the sidewalk yesterday, and
with view TO advancing the interests
of science, he carried it in the house
and held it by the tail while he warmed
its ears over n lamp-chimney. His OBJ
ject was to see if wa ps froze to death,
or merely lay dormant during the win
ter. He is of the opinion that they
merely lie dormant, and the dormautest
kind at that, and when they revive, he
says, the tail thaws ont first, for while
this ones head, right over the lamp.
wes 30 stiff and cold it could not wink.
its probe worked with such inconceiv.
able rapidity that the minister couldn't
gasp fast enough TO keep up with it.
He threw the vicious thing down the
lamp-chimney, and said he didn't want
TO have any more truck with a dormant
wasp, mt which his wife burst into ,ears
and asked how he, minister of the
gospel, could use such language, right
before the children, too.

very low over the hips, and their June

body in Eastern fashion. Ball dresses
are powdered with gold or silver, or
are studded over with real gems. For
those who have not a GOlcOnda mine
at their disposal, however, beads, ref
resenting precious stones, are beiig
manufactured, and the dresses are
studded with these. The effect of these
beiewelled dresses at night is extreme
ly effective. Spangles are much worn
even walking dresses are being covered
with them. In black, they have quite
taken the place of Jet. Steel spangIes
are put on gray dresses. It is the rule
for the spangles TO be of the same color
as the dress. Sandalled shoes are COM
ing more and more into vogue. They
are not so advantageous to the feet as
plain boots, but they agree better with
the semi Grecian and semi Oriental
style OF dress that is now coming into
fashion. White sandals, with white
dresses, blue sandals with blue dresses,
black sandals with black dresses, and
so or. To look pretty they should
reach halfway up the leg. Moliere
shoes are worn for the morning alone
and black boots for the afternoon. For
evening high sandals. All fashionable
walking dresses being made with very
tight, long sleeves, buttoning at the
wrists, two-buttoned gloves. White
lace cravats are universally worn round
the neck. They are very becoming,
and very elegant looking. Take a long
strip of Brussels net, sufficient to tie
round the neck, four-edge it each end
with very deep lace, and your cravat is
made. Tulle looks pretty, but is not

and Arminian, with all the nondeseriDt
Leyantine brood of half-breeds and bv-
brids of every color under the sun. from
the Ethiopian and the Moor to the Cir

almost equally eager in pursuit of some
invisible object. No tongue has the
predomlnapce, for ten languages at least
assall the ear at every step. Clusters
OF br1ght-cOlored Feringees are met at
every step. Ladies and their attend
ants, old and young, dark and fair, meet
the eye at every turn, Offering a solid
resistance to any attempt to make way
sgalnst the current while flashing ewes
and Volubie tongues give further evi-
denee of vitality and ubiduity. Women
chatter with the ehOpman, toss his goods
about, appeal to his conscience, and de-
preeate his wares with as perfect aud
practical understanding of woman's
privileges as the most advanced of their
European sisters. The fast possibly
lends a sharper edge to their speech,
and increases the vivacity of their desire
for bargains. In auy case, I should

plausible Arminian have enough to do

Short Weiph1s-

The American grocer has opened a
vigorous warfare upon the system of
swindling known as short weights, and
which consists of putting leas into q
package than the marks on the outside
represent.
The uninitiated public have little
idea of the extent to which this is done.
Everything that is put in packages is
cut short-so short, in the case OF oys-
ters, that one packer in New York con-
fesses that it is quite common to put up
six, five or even four ounces for o
pound. All canned goods are put up
IN the same way, and the public get
about half the quantity of goods they
bargain and pay for, and take the bal
ance in water.
This affects the people-the consum-
ers but there is another class of goods
where il affects the retailers, who have
much more power of correcting it.
This is in the case of packages that have
to be broken and retailed from, as in
raisins, pork, &c. The grocer has found
a number of retailers who have quit
selling layer raisins altogether, because
they found the packages so short of
what they are represented TO contain
that 1t is impossible to avoid loss in
handling them.
It is useless to attempt any list of the
articles that are thus packed short it
would be about co-equal with list of
packed articles. The evil is one of fear
full magnitude, and has continued to
grow until endurance can endure no
longer.
The grocer recommends as n remedy
that retailers and consumers weigh or
measure everything they buy, and that
a national law be enacted compelling
every packer to put his own name upon
all packages packed by him, forbid
short weights under heavy penalties,
and make every packer responsible for
his goods. This would undoubtedly
remedy the difficulty, provided such q
law were enforced, but there is reason
TO fear that it might fail at that point.

Real Old Grass Land

i Tenty or thirty years IN permanent
sod constitute real old grass land,
though if we'll managed and properly
giszef. it viii improve up to fifty years,
and then never retrograde unless
abused IN some way or other. Now, #
the greater part OF the land which is
natur Il for grass and adapted for per-
petually laying in grass for grazing aud
moving was allowed time to become es-
tablished IN thick-set old sod, and the
finer and most faitening herbage en-
couraged by iudieiously grazing with
mixed stock, a good proportion being
sheep, there might be fine districts pro-
dueiug beef and mutton, butter and
wool, with fine horses also, and with
comparatively little use of the plow,
less and less arabic soil being required
as the south was approached, because
the winters would be short aud the fod-
deripg and housing of stock of little
moment in comparison. Just as the
tuTnip husbandry in England was the
salvation of the light soil, and the hill
and downs of England, and the muirs,
etc, of Scotland, at the same time Ten-
ovating all the good, dry and we'll
drained lower land, so laying by for
the real old grass all the land most
suitable for permanently remaining
sacred from the plow, may be the saw
ing of riculture in America for the
fact of about two-thirds or three
fourths of every farm being in pasture
and meadow, or in grass alternating
in pasture and meadow, would be an
assistance to the arabic portion, and
every farmer adopting this system, be-
cause grass land when once thoroughly
established, can be managed SO as to

hitherto the greed of gaining g good

grass land that has remained unculti-
waited for twenty or thirty years has
become SO superior TO the newly laid
down fiel Is in timothy and clover, that
double the stock can be supported upon
it and, what is proof beyond dOubt is,
that when rented, double the money
per acre is readily paid for the cold
gross land" Let any disinterested per-
sou think on this, and it VIII show what
a vast advantage wOuld be gained by
the whole community if, saw, half the
