Curious Instances Of the Way Plants are
Defended.

In recent lecture Mr.. Darwin gave some
curious instances of the way plants are pro-
tected from insects and other dangers.
Opium, strychnine and belIadonna, he said
three of the most deadly poisons, were all
formed by plant as means of defense to
preserve them from cattle, etc. A curious
use was made of this poisonous property, as
recorded by Livingstone, who states that at
one place in South Africa, the natives were
in the habit of catching their zebras by mash
ing up some poisonous plant in their drink
ing places. Poppies are protected by poison
from the attacks of goats and probably of
other cattle. The strychnine plant was q
good example of the way in which poison
was limited to the part of the plant where it
was needed. Almonds were also protected
by poison, cultivators generally sowing the
bitter kind, as the sweet kind was eaten by
mice. Other plants were protected, not by
strong poisons, but by some aromatic SUBJ
stance. The fennel, anise and carraway
seeds were examples of this, which were not
eaten by birds on that account. The lime,
which was protected by this, aroma was
able to grow wild and hold its own any,
where, whereas the orange, the citron and
the olive required to be carefully preserved
and watched. The mint was another ex-
ample of plant protected against cattle by
this aromatic principle. Flowers are often
more aromatic than the leaves of the plant
on which they grow, and owe to this princi-
pie their safety from attack, and caterpillars
will even starve to death sooner than eat the
flower of plant, the leaves of which they
readily devour. Water plants are unprotect-
ed for the reason that water is protection
enough. The most peculiar protection per-
haps, was that enjoyed by the common let
tuce, which, when pricked, even by an ants
foot, spurted up sticky juice, and envelop-
ed the intruder, who, biting the leaf from
vexation, drew down upon himself fresh
shower of cabbage wrath, in which the un-
fortunate ant was drowned.

ssGirls'' and 'sY0ung Ladies.''

Benjamin F. Taylor, the poet, has written
letter to young girl at the Lowville IN. ~
academy, in which he mixes up poetry and
good advice in equal doses most charmingly.
what Mr.. Taylor says will bear repetition:
l call you girl, but it is not the fashion
any more. The girls are gone and there is
nobody left but young ladies. like girls
best. There used to be q flock of Carolines
at Lowville, and as fair flock as ever wore
muslin. There were Caroline Collins, Caro-
line Northrup, Caroline Davan, and ever so
many more There were Cornelias, James,
Elizabeths, Marys and Paulinas. They were
all girls, and they never scorned the title.
Now they would be Carries and Nellies, Liz
zies, Mamies, Jennies and Cornies, and young
ladies withal, every one of them. Let US not
end our names in 'ie." Let US not forget
that affectation is the act of being fool ac-
cording to rule. Let US learn to work worst
ed cats of impossible pink, if we must, but
let US know how to make Indian pudding and
golden loaf Of corn bread as well. Let US
talk French if we can, but let us avoid
''slang" as we would pestilence and famine.
Pure and undefled English never sounds so
musical as it does from the unadulterated lips
of genuine girl. Let US learn the exquisite
art of keeping young. You read of Roman
ruins. think have heard Tyre, Tadmor and
Thebes mentioned once or twice, but there is
nothing so ancient In all this world as an old,
dilapidated heart. 1t is everybody's duty, es-
pecially every girls, to keep young.

Thought 1t Was Her Hand.

An Ohio merchant tells the following
story about himself: When l was about
seventeen years old made trip to Cleve-
land in the old-fashioned stage coach, with
its spanking four horses. At Mount Vernon,
about p. M, pretty girl came aboard. She
sat on the back seat, was on the middle
seat, Immediately in front of her. l soon
struck up pleasant chat with her. She was
charming talker, and almost as brilliant as
she was pretty. 1t looked as though we were
mutually pleased. When dark came Iconclud-
ed there would be no harm in giving her
hand !gentle squeeze by way of feeler.
l reached behind and got hold of the hand.
I was little startled at its hardness, but it
returned vice-like pressure. squoze it
again and it squoze back. A Sense of dis
appointment would steal over me when in my
mind would contrast the seeming toughness
of her hand with the tenderness of her voice.
The contrast did not seem to arterialize my
blood quite up to the point of exhilaration.
At last she reached her destination and left
the coach. After we had started again that
old man who had sat beside her addressed
me thusly :-"Young man, do you feel
all right? You had q nice time tug
ging at my old paw for the last five miles;
hope you enjoyed it." The two young
ladies on the front seat giggled all the way
to the next station, and the gentleman pass
engers didn't forget to smile when I would
look up: have been more successful since
in that line"

Mr., Ruskin ON Dress.

Mr.. Ruskin finds himself at loss before
no subject and talks with as much dogmatic
emphasis of woman's dress as of the abomin-
alton of machinery and the beauty of earth
and sky. His ideas of woman's duties in life
| are short and exact; ''She is to please peo-
pie, to feed them in dainty ways, to clothe
them, to keep them orderly, to teach them.
AS for the pleasing, Mr.. Ruskin is convinced
that tasteful dress Is necessary, and he expat-
iates upon this conviction in q way calculated
to ''much delight the fair" He esteems it
the duty of woman to look as lovely as pos
sible. 'Now mind" he says, ''yeu always
dress charmingly; it is the first duty of a girl
to be charming, and she cannot be charming
if she is not charmingly dressed. Set an ex-
ample of beautiful dress without extrava-
gance; that is to say. without waste or un-
necessary splendor."
He does not insist that the dress should be
costly; on the contrary, he advises that it be
markedly simple, to put down the curse of
luxury and waste that is consuming England.
Nevertheless the dress, while simple, must
be becoming and pleasantly varied; and
what bis female reader thinks it necessary to
buy beyond this for the good Of the trade,
'buy," he commands, ''and Immediately
burn" He is not little judicious in other
injunctions. He especially hates long walk
ing dresses and declares that such dresses
should never touch the ground at all. He
scorns cheap, ready-made clothing of any
kind and condmns sewing machines, and he
urges that all girls should learn dressmaking
and devote part of every day to making as
pretty dresses as they can in good material
for the poor people who have no time or
taste to make them we'll for themselves.

TRANS.ATLANT TRAVEL.

There have been no changes or improve.
ments in transatlantic travel tor many years.
Neither in speed, capacity or accommodation
has there been any material modification.
Every body, except the eccentric Winans fam
lily, OF Baltimore, has appeared content to &C
cept the situation, and millions of passengers
have tossed in the two weeks voyage between
Liverpool and New York, enduring the hor-
rors Of sea-sickness as an ordinance of nat
ure, and supposed the Cunarders were the
final word IN the art of ship building and
ocean navigation. Old Ross Winans, who
had made fortune building Russian railways
and furnishing locomotives, more than 20
years ago began to experiment in building
''cigar steamers" His son Thomas inherit
ed his wealth and his project They labored
together persistently for many years, expert
menting with different lengths of hull, diff.
ferent boilers, different engines, differen
methods of propulsion, central screws, for
ward screws, after screws, twin screws, areas
of displacement, weight of material, etc.
One or two of their queer gar-pike vessels
might be seen at any time between IS and rs
shooting about on the Chesapeake bay and
the Potomac river; and when the patent on
their invention expired several years since,
Ross and Thomas made oath that they had
expended over $4,000, 900 without having re-
ceived one dollar in return. The three sons
of Thomas Winans, since the father and
grand father have died, still carry forward
the hereditary line of experiment with undim-
inished vigor. They have transferred the
thearte of their operations from Baltimore to
Millwall, on the coast of England, and one
of their strengthening crafts may be seen at
intervals off the Isle of Wight, making ex-
perimental trips and flying through the water
like lightning express train. The three
brothers Winans have now spent $4,000, 900
in addition to the $4,000, 900 expended in this
country, but they claim to have reached pos.
tive results and are about to proceed to busi-
ness They have under contract a spindle
shaped steamer 1900 feet in length, with en-
gines OF; 100, 900 horse power. The speed of
this steamer is set down at % statute miles
an hour. 1t is designed for the transatlantic
mail and passenger service, and will make
the trip between New London, Connecticut
<the only suitable port of entry in this coun-
try), and Milford Haven in less than six days.
1t will carry 700 passengers with comfort
and safety-and without encountering the
terror of the ocean, sea-sickness. The secret
principle, whatever it is, has been elaborated
by three generations of inventive genius, and
warrants the spindle to withstand any storm
that can rage on the North Atlantic. When
the first champion of the line has demonstrat-
ed her usefulnes, three others will be
launched, each vessel costing $4,000, 900.

How to Calm an Assembly.

NJ. Gambetta, the presiding officer of the
French Chamber of Deputies, has ordained
the following regulations for the repression
of .uproar IF the Chamber becomes tu-
multuous and if the President cannot restore
calm, he puts on his hat. If the uproar con-
tinues, he announces that he is about to sus-
pend the sitting. If calm is not thereby re-
stored, he suspends the sitting for an hour,
and the Deputies withdraw to their respective
bureaux. This interval having expired, the
sitting is resumed; but if the uproar recon.
mences. the President closes the sitting and
adjourns till the following day."

Proving the Likeness.

There lived in Brussels celebrated paint
! er named Wiertz, whose eccentricities were
| such as to give him the name of the crazy
| artist. That there was method in his mad
| ness, the following anecd0te shows:
| After having finished a portrait of the old
| aristocratic Countess de Arnos, who pretend
ed to be only thirty when nearly sixty, she
refused to accept the painting, saying it did
not look anything like herself, and that her
| most intimate friends would not recognize q
single feature OF her on that piece of canvass.
Wiertz smiled kindly Ct the remark, and
as true knigh: of ole, gallantly reconduct-
ed the lady tc her carriage.
Next morning there was grand disturb
| ance in the Rue de Madeleine. A big crowd
was gathered before the window, and the
following was whispered from ear to ear
''1s the Countess de Amos really in jail
for her debts9'
Wiertz had exercised a little vengeance
toward his noble but unfair customer AS
soon as she had refused the portrait, he set
to work and painted few iron bars on the
picture with these words:
"ln Jail for debit"
He exhibited the painting in q jewellers
window, in the principal street in Brussels,
and the effect was instantaneous.
A few hours latter the Countess was back
at Wiertz's studio pouring invectives on him
at high pressure-''to have exhibited her
likeness under such scandalous"
''Most noble lady," was the artists reply,
'.you said the painting did not look anything
like yourself, and that your most intimate
friends would not have recognized single
one of your features In the picture. want
ed to test the truth of your statement; that Is
ALL"
The portrait was taken away, the city
laughed, the artists charged double price, and
gave the amount to the poor of the city.
