THE GROWING HENS-A FABLE.
In Roosterland once-this was cycles ago
There arose certain Hens, who determined to
crow.
"These BOOSTERS too long," they repeated
with scorn,
ssHave held monopoly over the Dawn,
The Age has progressed, and we Hens, too,
have rights;
We can herald the Days quite as well as tn
Knights;
Well petition the Sun just TO give us a
show,
And he'll see who the loudest and promptest
can Crow -
The Sun their petition accepted, and said:
eff you think you can wake me on time, go
ahead.''
The Hens were all charmed, but the very
next day
The Egg business called their attention away.
And the sun, when he raised quite belated
and slow,
Cried: "While hens have to cackle they
never can Crow ~
MORAL
Let the ladies who seek for the ballot reflect
They re electors more potent than those who
elect.
They don't vote; but just think of the s'rep-
resentatiOn"
q the ''sex" who contribute the whole
population.

calceolaria has little yellow blossom
three of which would lie upon shil-
ling. BY careful selection, plants can
be produced of the most exquisite and
variegated hueS, and Of which a single
blossom would entirely cover and
hide from the view two shilling
piece. Here we have done for us in
the course of a few generations what
nature by the aid of her workers, the
bees, might possibly have accom-
plished in the course Of ages. Indeed,
the possibilities of Horticulture are so
infinite as to make it matter of regret
that it should, like cookery and cos
tune, have been allowed, for want of
that dignity which attaches itself to a
recognized science, to remain little
more than trade. If, for instance,
the same care were taken with the
cultivation of the water-lily that is
bestowed on the rose, what might not
be the result! Why should we not
grow water-lilies the size of soup
plates, with every leaf as mathemati-
cally perfect in dimensions and outline
as the leaves of prize dahlia! Why
should not magnolias blossom in our
not houses tour. nVo, or even ten times
larger than the present exquisite
white flower with its tender flavor of
citrOn! The actual wants of life come
before its pleasures, in spite of the
sheer of the Epicurean, who said that
if he only had the superfluities of this
world, he could do very well without
it's necessaries. Flowers are as much
a superf1uity as are pictures, or
statuary, or Brussels lace, or medieval
furniture, or Japanese china. Beyond
all these things, however, they have
about them a bright, fresh, and whole
some influence of their own. If half
the money that is now wasted on mere
freaks of fashion were spent in sys-
tematic Horticulture, the earth at any
rate would be made more beautiful,
and a reasonable and healthy occupa-
ton would be fond for many idle
hands.

DANGER IN VINEGAR.

There are more kinds of so-called
vinegar in the market than brands Of
family flour. The New Y ork Tribune
thus alludes to one of them: The
Board of Health of the District of
Columbia has condemned five car loads
of vinegar sent there from Chicago,
on the ground that it is not a genuine
article, and is injurious to health.
An analysis Of the so-called vinegar
has been made. 1t appears, according
to the report of the Board of Health,
that the vinegar contains 81 24-1O0
grains per gallon of anhydrOus sui
phuric acid, combined with lime to
form sulphate of lime equivalent to
III 26-l0O grains of gypsum per gallon,
and besides that, grains Of free sui
phuric acid per gallon. The Board
also report that this sample was taken
from an invoice of more than 1000
barrels brought there to be sold as
vinegar, and that it is likely to find a
ready sale on account of it's low price.
The report concludes as follows:
"When we think that oil of vitriol
(sulphuric acid) can be bought at five
cents per pound, and thata pound Of
said acid would render barrel of
fluid as acid as the strongest vinegar,
the wonder will cease that it is sold
cheap. This, therefore, is fraud up
on commerce, and dangerous SUBJ
stitute for vinegar" The fraud and
danger are more general than the
great mass of people will readily be-
lieve. 1t is asserted that probably
one-half the vinegar sold at city gro
ceries is rank poison, with eiter sui
phuric or other Objectionable acids
for its base, from which the acetic
principle is evolved, the same as in
the manufacture of aromatic vinegar
or the acetates used in calico printing.
Acetic acid is present in all vinegars,
although they seldom contain more
than i've per cent of the absolute
acid. Their color, flavor, and value
depend materially upon the ingredi-
ents from which they are made. In
England, honest vinegars are usually
made of malt; in France, of grapes; in
Germany, of grapes, beetroot, or po-
tatoes; in this country, of apples and
grapes.

Hooks Practical Jokes.

There is story told of Hook carving
off splendid wooden Highlander from
before a snuff shop, throwing a cloak
round it, and thrusting it into cab. my
FRIEND" he said, addressing the driver,
who looked rather astonishcd at the fig
ure, "a very respectable man, but q little
tipsy." Not even the passers by in the
street were exempt from his cool impu-
dence. Observing man of most pompous
air strutting down the Strand, he stop
ped him with 81 beg your pardon sir, but
may l ask if you are any one particular y
Then, without waiting for reply he
walked of, leaving the stranger trans6x-
ed with amazement. These, however, are
but poor specimens of his effrontery.
Strolling one day arm in-arm with Dan
ial Terry, the actor, up street in Soho,
his nostrils were assailed by the most
savory odor Looking down an area, he
saw the servants in the kitchen below
dressing up very fine dinner.
"A party, no doubt" said Terry; Jolly
dogs! what feast. should like to make
one of them" III take bet do re-
piled Hook. Call for me at ten" Leav-
ing his friend, he mounted the steps and
knocked at the door. Believing him to
be one of the expected guests, the servant
conducted him to the drawing room, where
number of persons had already assem-
bled. Making himself perfectly at home
he had half-a-dozen people about him
laughing at his bons nsofs, before the host
discovered that stranger was present.
Il beg your pardon sir he said, address
ing the unlimited one. your namel
Il did not quite catch it; servants are

HABITS OF ANTS

The economy Of the beehive,
wonderful as it is, yields in interest
to the marvellous social life among the
ants. Primitive society shows scarce.
ly a phase which has not it's prototype
among these tiny creatures. There
are nomadic ants who gain their SUBJ
sistence by hunting; pastoral ants
who have great possessions in flocks
and herds; warlike ants who seize
upon the richer domains of their
weaker neighbors, and live upon the
spoils of battle; slothful but valiant
ants, who enslave other tribes and
force them to labor in their behalf;
provident ants, who gather in and
harvest the native grain; agricultural
ants, who farm and house their
crops.
The foraglng ants-Ecit0ns--live
solely on insects or other prey-they
are in fact hunters, and are forced to
become wandering tribes; for when
one hunting-grOund is exhausted the
encampment breaks up, and with their
females and young they seek new
fields. They advance in mighty ar
mics, sometimes three or four yards
wide. and from two hundred to three
hundred yards long fairly blackening
the ground over which they travel.
These moving columns are composed
of workers of various size, differed
at every two or three yards by larger
and lighter cOlored individuals, which
are seen to stop very often, or run
backward, delivering orders by cross
ing antedna with some Of the line.
Bodies Of scouts are sent out from the
main column, which peep under every
stone and fallen leaf, and into every
Granny. They flush the game-.o
change the figure-spiders, grasshop-
pers and cockroaches. In trying to
escape the foraging parties. the luck
less creatures are apt to throw them
selves into The very thick Of the dam
ger. If one Of them falls among the
main body of ants it is seized upon by
myriads of it's tiny enemies, and ever
a grasshopper rarely escapes: in a
short time it is cnt to pieces and pack
ed away in a temporary receptacle.
Wars among the ants have very much
the same cause as among men. 1t is
a piece of territory that is coveted.

weaker: or it is the possession of its
fiocks and herds, which one colony
wishes to wrest from the other; or in
the slave-making species colony re-

1t is certainly very curious to find
! SYMPTOMS among ants of brain-troubles
suggestive of our own. Any serious
injury to the brain is usually followed
by commissions. In the frequent COM
bats. which one of the red ants-For-
mica rup0-has with other species,
these brain injuries are very common.

Some workers, after brain injury
