Do ToatlS Eal Bees.

NJ. Brunei states in La Nature, that
that on going one day into his garden,
just before storm, 10 found the bees
crowding into their hives. About fifty
ccntimetros from the best hive there was
q middle Sizcd toad, which every now
and again rose OIL his fore legs and made
o dart with surprising quickness toward
bI0des Of grass. lie WINS found 10 be
dcvonring bees, which rested on the
grIss blades awaiting their chance to en-
ter the hive. NJ. Brunei watched until
twelve victims Ind been devourcl; he
expected the tOad's voracity would be re.
warded with sting, but IN win. OBJ
jccting to further destruction, he seized
The toad by one Of his legs md carried
him To bed OF cabbnges thirty metres
of, where no did do real service among
the caterpillarS, etc. Three days after
this, on going out to the hives, he found
the same toad (which was costly distin-
guishable) at its old work. NJ. Brunei
let him swallow only three or four bees,
then carried him fifty metres in another
direction. Two days Inter the wretch :"
was again found at his post, greediIy de-

The Pen.

Tho earliest mode Of writing was on
bricks, tiles, oyster shells, stones, ivory,
bark, and leayes Of trees; and from the
latter the term "lcaves OF book" is
probably derived. Copper and brass
plates were very early in Itsc, And bill
OF feoffInent on copper was some years
since discovered in India, bearing date
one hundred years B. @. Leather was
also used, Ms well us wooden tablets.
Then the pnpyrus came into vogue, md
about the eighth century tho papyrtis
was superseded by parchment. Paper,
however, is Of great antiquity, especially
among the Chinese; but the first paper
mill in England was built in 1888 by n
Gcrman, Mt hartford, In Kent. Never.
thelCas, it WINS nearly century and n
halt-namely, n 17l3-beforo Thomas
Watkins, stationer, brought paper
making to anything like perfection.
The first approach TO pen was the
stylus, o kind Of iron bodkin, but the
Romans forbade its use on account Of It's
frequent and even fatal use in Quarrels,
and then 1t was made Of bone. Subse-
quently, reeds, pointed and split, like
pens in the present day, were used.

A MurlCrOls Maniac.

In Spalato, village Of Dalmatia, a
wealthy "proprietaire, u named Giovanni
Tonic, occupied house OIL the Borgo
Grande, opposite the parish church
Of Santa Crocc. On the 10Th Of March,
III furious fit Of ragc, he fell upon his
wife, with knife, iniiicting such
frightful wounds that the poor woman
succumbed. Her father, who interfercil
on her behalf, likewise fell victim to
the madman's murdcrous blade. When
the police arrived ut the scene Of tho
tragedy to arrest the murderer, they
found nil the issues OF the house barri-
caded. Tonic Ind intrenchGd himself
against NIL corners, and, armed with n gun
and abundNntGmmunition, fired Oh every
ono who attempted TO approach the
house. The police retired before this
fusillade to consult, A young man,
crossing the square Mt the time, then ut
tractetl the madman's attention, and he
fred at him, bringing him down. The
next victim was woman who WIS COM
ing from the church. She received Il
severe wound, but managed to get Of.
The gendarmes surrounded the house
on three sides, ei1ectually cutting off all
means OF escape for the man inside. The
front OF the house, which commanded
the plaza in front OF the church and the
streets opening on it, was closely watch
ed, y For fear Of the man inside,
no one dared attempt to rescue the
corpse OF the young man who had been
shot, and which lay purifying in the sun.
Finally the cure OF Santa Crocc, who
had considerable influence with the
murderer, proposed to parley with him.
As the brave priest advanced toward the
house, Tonic ceased popping away at
every head that showed itself, and
greeted him respectfully. The priest
asked him to send out his little daughter,
child Of two years, whom lie had bur-
ricaded in the house along with himself.
For answer the inhnman father tossed
the limbs of the child into the street,
one by one. The poor little one had
actually been cut to pieces. Tonic then
resumed his cannonadc, aud for twenty
four hours more kept the entire armed
force OF Spalato Mt bay. The authorities
refused permission for the gend'armeS
to fire on lin, alleging that he was
crazy, and not responsible for his acts,
All That WINS left for them was to blockade
the house and starve him ont During
the blockade one comic incident occurred,
In the night, in the midst Of the death.
like silence which prevailed in the neigh.
borhood Of the singular battlefield, Il
voice could be occasionally heard from
the church piteously begging for bread.
The speaker was the sacristan who had
gone into the church on the day Of the
Tragedy to ring the "Angelus," and Ind
been there when the shooting began.
As the only exit from the sacred editice
was under fire from Tomic'S barricade,
the poor sexton dared not venture forth.
