Curious Proclivities Of Insects.

The following observations on the GU
rious proclivities of different insects
toward beautiful or repulsive plants, is
extracted from recent address by Sir
John Lubbock at Brighton: Bees, it
seems are fond of pleasant odors and
bright colors, and affect plants in which
we ourselves take pleasure. If bee
is watched in its progress through a
garden, it will be found lowering over
mignonette, thSroses, the tall white ILL
lies, the lavender. and all other flowers
of bright color or sweet scent. Flies,
on the other hand, prefer livid yellow,
dingy red, and very unpleasant SMELL
ing plants. The bee is a fastidious in
sect of sensitive taste. The fly is spe-
cies of insectoid vulture, with natural
proclivity for carrion, or anything re-
sembling it. Any one who takes a
couple of plates and places them on the
lawn, yard apart, putting Oh one a
specimen of the abominable under
ground fungus. the "stink-horn," and
on the other glass of moss roses, will
see, that in few minutes the foul
odored fungus will be covered with
flies, while the bees will flock to the
roses. 1t is TO this love of bees for
beautiful colors and pleasant smells
that we owe our choicest flowers.
Flowers, as Sir John Lubbock pointed
out at some length, and, as is now gen.
orally known, are principally fertilized
by insects.
The bee flying from flower TO dover
carries the golden grain from the anth-
ers of one 10 deposit it on the pistil of
the next. Crossing in flowers tends, as
in all other living things, to improve
the size, strength, and beauty Of the
species. Flowers which are "cross-
fertilized" by insects reach the highest
state of excellence. Standardization,
according TO Sir John Lubbock, tends
to dwarf the specimens. Indeed, in the
case of a conyolvulus, it has been shown
by actual experiment that when self
fertilizeG it only grows to height of
five feet, while when -fertilized il
will reach seven feet and half. So
far, bees and flies perform the same
work, the difference between them be-
ing that the bees, as we have said, love
beautiful colors and fragrant odors.
More than this, each bee appears to
have its proclivities, or at any rate, its
habits. Sir John Lubbock himself
taught bee TO go to a certain place
for honey on blue paper for some days
consecutiyely. After his winged pupil
had paid several visits to the blue paper,
some honey was placed on piece of
orange-colored substance. The little
insect was at first in doubt, but after
hesitation of few seconds, il rejected
the jaundice-lined repast, and dashed
at the blue paper. From these tastes
and fancies on the part of bees, it has
in the course of long years come about
that the plants which bloom by day
have bright colors and sweet smell.
Similarly night plants, although as
rule colorless: are yet often powerfully
scented, the reason being that they are
fertilized by nocturnal moths, which
have a sense of odor fully as delicate as
that Of bees, and, like bees, are fond OF
honey.

During the excavation Of a canal in
Berlin the workmen struck upon twelve
perfectly preserved cofins, which lay,
apparently. in four graves, each con-
tanning three superimposedc coffins. The
site of the discovery corresponds with
the cemetery that existed even as late
as 1870 in connection with the poor
house and pestiient hospital. The
corpses must, in consequences, have
been in the earth for at least go years.
Notwithstanding this long period, the
cofiins. as well as their contained bones.
were in perfect state Of preservation;
articles Of clothing We're even found
still clinging to some of the bones.
Prof. Virchow found. upon investiga-
tion. that the collins were coated on
both sides with thick layer of tar, the
wood itself appearing to be young oak.
A silicious crust was likewise found on
the inner sides of the collins. The wood
was so hard that axes and saws were
broken in the attempt to cut it. The
nails were very much rusted, but still
sound in their interior.

Egg Toast.-Beat four eggs light,
and stir them into pint of new milk,
with a little salt. Slice some light,
sweet bread, or bakers bread, dip the
slices singly into this egg and milk, and
lay carefully and without breaking i'm a
spider of hot lard, and fry brown.
Sprinkle little powdered sugar on each
slice as it is taken out, and little nut
meg or cinnamon. and serve hot. If
prepared nicely, this is an acceptable
and convenient dish.
Graham Piecrust.-Prepale . dough
with little salt and thin cream, roll
out and make the pie as with q crust of
lard and fine flour, and the article win
be both healthful and palatable.
Date Cake.-Two cupfuls granulated
sugar, one cupful butter, one cupful
milk, four cupfuIs -four, four eggs, one
half teaspoonful ground mace, the
grated rind of one lemon, and one
pound of dates stoned and chopped and
rubbed through four. Ifprepared -four

spoonfuls of any good baking powder.
Brunswick Soup.-Simmer gently for
three hours knuckle Of veal weighing
four or five pounds in two quarts Of cold
water, a little salt, small carrot, two
turnips, and one very small onion. At
the beginning skim carefully to remove
the brown broth, which would discolor
the soup. Later remove all the fat that
arises; to do this thoroughly hay piece
of bread on the top to catch the glob-
ules of fat which the spoon fails to
catch. After the meat has boiled an
hour and half, add the heart Of q let
tuce chopped fine, little grated carrot,
half a cucumber sliced thin, q little
chopped mint, and a potato OF two cut
in slices. Just before the soup is served
thicken it slightly with little corn
starch previously dissolved in cold
water. After it is dished, put in some
toasted bread cut into dice, and help
few to each person with the soup.

A Wishing Can.

Imagination is a wishing-cap dona-
ted to certain favored mortals at birth,
and often preserved with its magic
potency unimpaired up to extreme age.
Putting on this cap, l am no longer
the sport of circumstance, but its mas
ter. l wish myself in whatsoever
corner of the earth 1 list; call before
me forms of beauty and grace; place
myself i'm instantaneous communication
with best loved friends.
The care of this cap is troublesome;
touched by PRIDE it loses its shape;
vanity makes it limp and colorless;
ostentation rerders it heavy and COM
fortress. 1t requires many hazardous
experiments before this wizard-cap
works beneficently, so it is perhaps
lucky that the majority of mankind
know it only by name.

French Free Masons have long been
divided upon the question as to wheth-
er belief in the "Grand Architect of the
Universe" should be dogma of their
order. At the recent Masonic Conven-
tion in France, the second clause Of
the constitution, which ran thus:
Free Masonry holds to the principle
of the existence of God and of the i'm
mortality of the soul. :" was altered by
an immense majority to Free Mason
ry holds to the principle of an absolute
freedom of conscience. and to the
brotherhood of mankind. 1t excludes
no one on on accounto of his belief.D

Thomas Carlyle happened, not long ago
TO be where number of so-called philoso
pliers and scientific men were present and
were airing their opinions. The theory
of Evolution had been asserted wi b
much confidence, and under supposition
that he was sympathizer, and not at all
fettered by religious scruples, he was
challenged to deliver his opinion as to
Darwinism. Gathering himself up, and
speaking in tone that silenced laughter,

CRowDING OUT PRAIRIE GRASSES.
Having lived in Eastern Iowa for nearly
40 years. and watched the change in tn.
face of Nature, from the "sea Of undulat
ing wild prairie verdure," to well-improv
ed farms, closely cropped commons, and
grassy woodlands, smoothly turfed with
blue grass and white clover. would say,
that the change here has come within the
growth of the country, there never haying
been, to my knowledge, the least effort
toward seeding the commons or ranges
with tame grasses. We first noticed spots
of green along the roadside and in fence
corners, the seed having perhaps been
dropped from the wagons and teams of
passing emigrants. These spots grew in
size, and the seed, ripening, was scattered
far and wide by passing through the
|stomachs of animals, and other means
that nature has OF disseminating seed, till
now it is rare to see tuft of real prairie
grass. This change was accomplished
here in from % to 80 years, but I think
that the time might be greatly shortened
if each settler in a new country would
take with him, or buy, few pounds of
white clover and blue glass seed. and
scatter it where it would have chance to
grow, along roadsides where the plows
are ''scoured' then oil and house the
p!ows when not in use, so you will not

that are plOwed around the fields to stopI

place where it will have chance to grow.
There are other varieties Of grass mixed in
with the two named, but these compose
the principal part of the sod of the range.
