A Balloon Inventor.

Not Montgolfer, nor any other man,
invented this balloon; but tiny insect
which makes no noise in the world A
friend of mine watched her at work
making balloon, then saw her take her
children and begin journey in it. She
was a mother spider. whose family name
] do not know.
Apparently she had become tired of
her old home and wanted to move else
where. So she spuL little gussamer
balloon, shaped somewhat like one of
the natural divisions of walnut-shuck
As 1t grew in size it would have foated
away without her had she not fastened
it by ropes of gossamer to the branch of
a tree.
By and by, when all was done, she
seemed to be saying something to the
cluster of tiny baby spiders that were
clinging to her, probably assuring them
that there was no danger Then she
again examined her balloon, to make
sure that all was right, and then broke
off the gossamer rope. The little bal.
loon gently rose before the breeze. My
friend wished the skillful maker and
navigator of the air a successful voyage
as she sailed out of sight, and he never
saw her more" Jack in-the- Pulpit,

The MOntenegrins.

The Monteneerin mountaineer and
warrior is man six feet in height, with
grave thoughtful face, singnlarly con-
trasting with his quick, nervous gait
He has high cheek bones, like an Amer
ican Indian; his eye is black and pierre
ing, and his shoulders have slight
stoop produced by constantly bending
forward as he ascends difficult heights
He is, perhaps, the most agile hnman
being on European soil; there is no
haunt of the chamois which he cannot
follow; and even the goats sometimes
hesitate go after their shepherds when
there is a dangerous path TO be crossed.
The Monienegrin women are often the
objects Of pity TO travellers, but they
claim no sympathy and acknowledge no
ha-dships. Their destiny is to work and
to suffer. They are not even welcomed
into the worlG. and the birth of "a daugh-
ter is regarded as calamity. The girl
grows up neglected and often cursed
She carries fsgots of wood on her head
that she may earn few coins to buy
arms for her brother She has no youth
and is old at twenty five. She IS married
young and bears children while endur-
ing labor in the fields, which would be
too hard even for strong men. The wo-
man urges the warrior to The fight, loads
his guns, and dresses his wounds. She
is seldom beautiful Of feature, and the
coarse work which she performs soon
ruins her form.

Asiatic Snperstiti0ns.
rom the rail Mali Gazette !

A correspondent of the Times com.
municates some curIous facts by way of
parallel to the absurd belief which has
lately seized on the natives of Dinapore
Patna and the neishborhood, TO the eff
feet that ''the British soldiers have or
ders to decapi;ate all natives found
abroad after sunset or found in secluded
places, the heads being deposited in the
Masonic lodges, SO that by their means
intelligence may be gained of political
intrigues."
In illustration of the common tenden-
ey of all Asiatic peoples to these child
ish superstitions, the writer relates that
when gas was introduced some years ago
in the city of Batavia, the natives got
an idea into their heads that under each
gasometer two barrels full of chi!drpp'-
eyes were TO be put. sort of ghost call
ed "choelik" going abroad at night
and sco"pina them ont of the children'>
heads; and the impression was sn general
that, like the natives of Patna and
Dinapore, the Malavs of Batavia wonld
not leave their homes after dark. The
Dutch authorities at last lost their patti
~nce with this folly, which really seiz-
ell the immense native population Of
Eatava like mania, and severely pun
ished one or two of the natives VIII"
ought to have known better. and possi-
| bly, did. and after this the nnisane ahat

sal name for the Masonic lodges among
the Malays is s"Roema Setan," or devil

The Exhibit of Indian Corn.

Frof. Manly Miles, of Illinois, to
whom We recently referred as having
worked mp for the Centennial models of
our earliest plews, has also made him
self useful in another way, namely. in
illustrating the geographical ranges of
various kinds of corn over the United
States. He has collected from many
States, what would be regarded as the
most popular varieties grown in those
places; and it il singular to note tha.
there is no mere fancy in the selection of
varieties, but that remarkable law of
selection pervades the whole distribu-
ton.
Starting with Canada and the most
northern regions where corn is grown,
We find that the eight -rowed Flint corn
is the great breed. 1t makes no differ

There are indeed, numberless varieties
grown, but all are of some one form OF
flint corn or another. Thus it goes from
