A Partisan IS Industry"

There is an artful dodger in Paris
whose operations have been 50 clever as
to deserve respectful notice. He is q
middle-aged person of an innocent as
pect, and his pretty plan was to meander
slowly along, and, Selling the first mild
eyed old gentleman he met, to lisp in q
childlike manner: "Totty has lost his
nanny; take Totty back to nanny"
The mild-eyed would naturally feel some
what confused and alarmed, when to
him would further appear q confederate
of Totty's, who would remark In accents
bland that Totty was harmless idiot,
and if the stranger would see Totty
home it would be q real charity. Fired
by benevolence, the old gentleman would
undertake to bear the soft, sweet Totty
to his abode, and would trot along the
boulevards among the toy-shops, which
appeared to enchant Totty: That gen.
tie being would observe: 81 otty wants .
harlequin; buy Totty harlequin;" and
his antique warder would hasten to graf
ify that mild longing. Before the ingen-
ious Totty reached his home he was usu-
ally laden with the marketable results
of the kind-hearted old creatures benev-
olence, and did thriving business until
several benefactors happened to CON-
pare notes. and Totty's innocent industry
was quenched.

Pies.

Pies are wholesome or not as they are
we'll or badly made. An apple pie can
be so prepared as to By nearly or quite
as simple as bread, butter and apple
sauce. A whole meal may be made of it
without injury to the health. On the
other hand it may he SO prepared as to
be unfit for the stomach of even rhl-
noceros. The model pie is in our opinion
the apple pie. Peach pies are highly
relished by many; but the peach loses
its finest flavor by cooking, whereas the
apple is improved by this process. Most
of the berries in their season make good
pies. So does rice and eggs, and the
custard pie is not only delicious but
wholesome. Meat mince pies are not to
be tolerated by delicate people; though
they may be eaten by men of strong III
gestion, who live much in the open air
and do muscular work. The first point
to be secured in a pie is good crust. In
general terms this should be thin and,
when we'll baked, tender. 1t should not
he shortened with lard, but the best of
cream-or, in the absence of this, good
butter. Delicate fruits are soon tainted
with the shortening of the crust. Many
in baking pies use too much crust. The
less that can be used the better
the pie will be-. The crust should
be; thin, the fruit good pie-apples, and
plenty OF them, put between the crust.
Where the two crusts meet on the edge
of. the dish care should be taken to have
the apples pressed out, SO that there
shall not be wide strip of thick crust
with no apples near them. An apple pie
should be eaten just after it is cool. If
eaten while hot 1t is apt to 60 down only
half-masticated, and the effect of the
heat on the tongue tends to destroy the
finer sense Of taste. After an apple pie
is one day old it begins to grow stale IN
less it is kept with great care. Soyer,
the famous London pie-maker, thinks
that if all the spoiled pies made In Lon
don on one single Sunday were placed
in row beside a railway it would take
an express train an hour to pass them in
review. Whoever will induce bakers to
improve their methods ofSmaking them

price for . piece Of pie in New York
restaurant is ten cents. They could be
afforded for half that price, at profit,

Insect.E ating Plants Again.

Six weeks ago we gave some account
of the progress of discovery made by
botanists in studying the habits of in
sectiverous plants, quoting from the
journal of Mrs. Mary Treat, of Vine
land, n. ]. The Tribune of Feb. /
contains another communication from
this lady, in which she recounts
further investigations. About year
ago, in examining the .Bladderwort, an
aquatic weed common all over the North
ern States, she discovered in the bladder
like bulbs which give the plant its name
fragments Of insect Larvae and dead ami
malcules. The presence of these was
regarded as accidental until she hap
pened to see living larva within the
bladder, and watched its Intellectual strug-
giles to escape and its final death. This
suggested the possible existence of
aquatic species Of carnivora, and she at
once procured specimens and began a
systematic course of observation.
1t has heretofore been supposed that
the bladders served as floats to sustain
the plant; but it appears that their office
is quite different. The bladder is pear
shaped, with circular opening near the
smaller end, surrounded by sundry
spines, or antenn@, or whatever may be
the proper designation. Inside it is COW
cred with delicate cells and curious four
pointed stars. whose Office is not yet ap-
parent. -nsr2@,. =
Surrounding the opening and descend
ing inside the bladder is delicate net,
funnel-shaped and with a small opening
at the apex. The bladders, which are
transparent when in healthy condition,
are attached to the main plant by tubu-
lar stem. The animalcules and small
larv1 whose capture and death Mrs.
Treat observed, seemed to be attracted
to the opening Of the bladder and then
drawn by some unascertained fascina-
ton or forced by some invisible power
to push open the little valves at the end
Of the net and enter the bladder. Once
fairly within they scented danger and
tried vainly to escape, becoming para
lyzed in short time and dying withip .
few hours.
4 Mra Treat does not claim fully to have
established the fact that the insects are
absorbed by the plant as food. She be-
lieHeg, however, that this Is the case,
and tells in support Of her conclusion
how the fluid within the bladder or the
bladder itself becomes gradually cloudy

HOMEOPATHIC Life Insurance.

There is SO great difference in doctors, In
their theory and practice and their success,
that it seems the most natural thing In the
world Though we do not know that it ever has
been done except in one CT two instances) for
Life Companies to graduate their charges for
Insurance according to the skill aud intelli'
gcncc of the partys family physician. This
idea is being carried out with remarkable sue
cess by the Homeopathic Mutual Life lnsur-
ance Company of New York. Its last state
ment, published on Jan. l, 1876, shows that
during the last seven years it has insured
5, IT'S persons who employed Homeopathic
practice, of whom thirty -eight-three -fourths
of l per cent-haye died in that period, while
out of l,635 persons insured who did not EN-.
ploy Homeopathic physicians fifty-or over 8
per ceut-have died. -.
This would seem almost incredible were 1t
not backed up by other reliable statistics
which the company has collected from other
sources, and which 1t has also published and
largely distributed. But the g. Homeopathic
Mutual" clinches its belief by its practice, and
boldly offers to insure its adherents at rates
from 10 to II per cent. less than the regular
terms. It evidently means business; and, &C.
cording to its statement, appears to be among
the sonndest and most vigorous OF the young
er companies. Parties desiring further in
formation or to act as agents can obtain all
statistics by addressing the Company, PSI

beheld only two valentines. Unmistaka-

insult to injury. He had laid matters in
such train the day before that he fully
expected his ten-thousand check by post
and in lieu of it he got two paltry, dis
gushing valentines! Rage entered into
his soul and the IRE burned clear before
him. On to its bright surface went both
epistles in one second from his entrance.
He did not stop once to consider till the
flames had curled about them, devouring
them utterly, and the light cfnder foated

will robe you like some fairy princess,

Oh, Meg! you are heavy-I'm tired:
10 sit in the rocker, l pray;
Your weight seems hundred and ninety
When you plump down in that sort of way.

I've spoken about 1t before,
And | want to finish this novel
And look over those bills from the store.
This dressing gown sets like the dickens;
These slippers run down at the heel:
Strange, anything can never look decent;
| wish you could know how they feel.
What's this bill from Morgan's? Why,
Surely it's not for another new dress?
Look here! I'll be bankrupt ere New Year,
Oryour store bills will have to grow less.
Eight o'clock! Meg. sew on this button
As SOON US you finish that sleeve,
Heigh ho! I'm SO deucedly sleepy,
I'll pile Otto the bed, l believe.
