sure an early supply of food for their
colony; and with the view of Fastening
this event they deposit them in the
warmest part Of their dwelling, and in
fine weather bring them TO the surface
of the nest to give them the advantage
Of the sun.
Plant lice, or aphidcs, differ much in
form, color, clothing, and in the length
of the honey tubes. Some have these
tubes quite long, as the rose louise
(Aphts rose), which is green, and has q
little conical projection, or stylet as it is
called, ut the extremity of the body be-
tween the two honey tubes. These in
sects seem to love society, and often
herd together in dense masses, each one
remaining fixed to the plant by means
of its long tubular beak; and they
rarely change their places till
they have exhausted the first part
attacked. The attitudes and manners
of these little creatures are extremely
amusing. When disturbed, like restive
horses, they begin to kick and sprawl
in the most ludicfous manner. They
may be seen, at times, suspended by
their beaks alone, and throwing up their
legs as if in q high frolic, but too much
engaged in sucking to withdraw their
bcaks AS they take in great quantities
of sap they would soon become gorged
if they did not get rid of it through the
little tubes at the extremity of their
bodies. When one of them gets rum
ning-over full it seems to communicate
its uneasy sensations by kind of animal
magnetism, to the whole flock, upon
which they all, with ono accord, jerk
upward their bodies and eject a shower
OF the honeyed fluid. The leaves and
bark of plants much infested by these
insects are often completely sprinkled
over with drops of this sticky fluid, and
which on drying become dark colored,
and greatly disligure the foliage. This
appearance has been styled "honey-
dew," but should not be confounded
with another similar production observ-
able on plants after very dry weather,
which has received the same name, and
which consists of an eXtravasation or
oozing of the sap from the leaves

A SculptOr's Beginning.

RANDOLPH ROGERS, the American
sculptor, who designed the bronze door
of the National Capitol, began life as
bakers boy. He showed his love of art
by shaping figures in dough and in draw
Boston transcript tells how he hap
pened to be sent to Rome to study:
In the year 1913, unassisted by 9TH
ers, he obtaiped situation in a silk
house in New York, owned by John
Stuart, Jr. Here, when not occupied
with the duties belonging to his employ
ment, he continued to pursue the bent
of his genius. He slept in the store of
his employer, who, going to his room
one day after business hours, observed
several pieces of small statuary scat
tered about the apartment, among
which was beautiful bust of Lord
Byron in marble.
Randolph" asked his employer,
"where did you get thesep" referring
to the works of art around him.
"Oh, / made them," was the reply,
uttered in modest tone of voice.
"But how could you do it, and where
did you find the time to accomplish
such resullsP" continued Mr.. Stuart.
"At night, after working hours, sir"
was the answer.
"But surely you didn't execute this
bust of Byron, did you?" said the for
mer, pointing to the beautiful creation
before him.
Yes" returned Rogers, while an
expression of modest pride passed over
his face.
ais it indeed true that you have this
gift in so high degree?" remarked
Mr.. Stuart as he gazed on the face Of
the poor clerk.
"All l can say" returned Rogers,
SIS that l love the art.'
"But why don't you follow it and be-
come sculptorP
Z" For the simple reason, sir, have
no money with which to help myself.
Should l take up art as profession, |
feel that 1 should have to go abroad to
Italy, where art is pursued in manner
to achieve the grandest results. How
can I-poor as [ am-go to ItalyP"
"How much money would you want
to help you in such courseP" inquired
Stuart.
Hesitating a moment, Rogers said,
''I think six hundred dollars would be
sufficient"
You shall have it," said his friend,
with smile, "and if, after you are
gone, you want more, do not hesitate to
ask me for it,
With a heart beating with joy, the
future artist threw his arms about the
neck of his benefactor and burst into
tears.
Proceeding at once to Florence, Rogers
placed himself under a teaching sculp-
tor of the city, where he remained for a
time. But at length, impatient of great
er results, he opened humble studio
for himself, where he toiled earnestly
and studiously in the art which ere long
should bring him rich returns. AT the
expiration of six years the young sculp-
tor sailed for his native land His resi-
dence abroad had enabled him to ac-
complish much, and the future seemed
full of rare promise. Indeed, he had
been very successful, for he was now
able to repay his generous benefactor,
and to have left in his own right the
considerable sum of six thousand dol
lars.

How to Write for the Papers.

THE Boston Post hits the nail on the
head when it says: Communications
should be brief, and there are several
reasons for this. In the first place, news
paper space is valuable. The modern
newspaper is never troubled with the
old-time complaint Of needing some-
thing to fill up" The editors scalpel
is constantly reeking from the slaughter
of live news matter and interesting mis-
cellany. Short communications are
much more likely TO find readers than
long ones are, and unless they are to be
read it is much better not TO publish
them. More contributions can be rep
resented where the articles are short
than when they are long, and one man
has as strong claim upon the columns
as another, providing he furnishes as
Interesting matter. A short article is
usually more pithy and pointed than a
long one. A subject should have many
ramiilcations TO demand more than hall
a column in newspaper, while all that
could be saved even from that limit up
TO a certain point is apt TO be an inn
provement. That prince of journalists,
the late Samuel Bowles, once apologized
for long editorial, and gave as his ex-
cuse lack of time TO write short one.
He expressed an important truth in his
usual epigramratic way.

Devices of Paris SmuggIers.

A JERSEY wagon continually entered
and left Paris. 1t was empty. The 10.
cal customs officers were always told
that no dutiable article was in it. A
rapid inspection was made; nothing
could be seen; it was allowed TO enter.
But the other day an inspector thought
that he "smelt rat" so he looked
and he smelt, and at last he found that
the roof of the Jersey wagon was
double, was lined with zinc and filled
with brandy, held in a tank six feet
long, three feet wide, three inches
thick. A few days before another
stratagem was detected: A toy maker,
domiciled in Paris but with his manu-.
factory outside, continually sent Jersey
wagons, filled with toys, from manufae.
tory to shop. The first Jersey was
carefully examined. The second was
supericially examined. The third was
suspiciously examined. This was just
what the toy maker expected, and
nothing was discovered; but the day
the inspectors took il into their heads to
dismiss the first Jersey wagon summari,
ly they could have found hobby-horses,
dolls, Punch's hunchback and drums
illed with alcohol,

The Nature OF Light and Its Action Up.
on the Eye.

AT recent meeting of the Buffalo
On. " Microscopical Club, DIR. Lucien
Howe presented the subject of the un-
dulations of light and their perceptions
by the eye. Brief mention was made
of the different theories, accounting for
the phenomena of optics previous to the
present century. The difficulties of this
subject were first solved by Thomas
Young, who satisfactorily explained the
undulatory theory of light. He showed
that what we call light is an impression
produced upon the retina by the wave
like motion of the particles of matter.
Subsequently the lengths of these waves
were measured. 1t would take 36,918
waves of red light, or 64,63l waves of
violet light, placed end to end, to make
an inch. From the speed of light, which
has been measured, it is proved that at
least four hundred and fifty .one millions
of millions of these minute waves flow
into the eye and dash against the retins
in each second. DR.. Howe proceeded
with minute description of the micro
scopical anatomy of the eye, more par
ticularly relating to the slayer of rods
and cones" These were stated as be-
ing in reality the terminal filaments Of
the optic nerve. These are shaken or
acted on by the waves Of light, and it is
especially these with which we see.

Curiosities of Chinese Cuisine.

A CHINESE dinner is not to be recon-
mended. 1t is too greasy, and that Mo-
sale abomination, the pig, not only ap
pears frequently as piece de resistance,
and in sundry clever DISCUSSES, but con-
tributes an unmistakable flavor to near
ly every dish. 1t comes in the full
pomp of the boar's head or in the more
attractive form of the tender "roaster, -
the praises of whose cracking" Ella
has sung. Each restaurant uses several
wagon loads of hogs daily. The animal
is boiled, roasted, fried, fricasseed,
minced; it forms the unsavory contents
of innocent-looking dumplings, and is
disguised in dozen deceptive entrees.
Not even the daintiest of sweetmeats can
remove its communicating touch from
the palate. Hence, for the curiosity
seeker who has a stomach not under
perfect control, it is safer to try the
lunch served at midday, in which few
meats appear. The garcon appears
with two teacups and saucer and
kettle of boiling water. In one cup he
puts pinch of dry tea, pours the water
upon it and covers it with the saucer.
Your tea is then drawing" Quickly
he returns with chop-sticks and the reg
ular lunch. The bill comprises three
egg-cakes; two dumplings, with
species of Chinese strawberry mark on
the top; three scraps of an unknown
part of the pig; a dish of preserved wa
termelon and another of sweetmeats.
The tea is now stepped, and placing your
foreinger on the saucer you tilt
the cup over and allow thin stream of
the fragrant beverage to escape into
your saucer. You will win the good
graces of the waiter if you shake your
head when he asks if you want sugar.
1t never occurs to him that you would
ruin the cup with milk. The tea, made
of the tender shoots of the plant, tastes
like unusually fine English breakfast,
but with a more delicate flavor and
aroma. BY its aid you may eat spar
ingly of the dumplings, relish the egg
cake in spite of the lard in which it is
fried, enjoy the watermelon and devour
the sweetmeats. OF the pork, the odor
alone is ample; a lOng-drawn smell
would be equal TO a surfeit. All these
dainties are eaten with chop-sticks by
the Chinese around you, but the use Of
these articles comes with nature, not
art. 1t is idle to initiate the skill of your
neighbors; you will drop all the food on
the table. Better is it TO accept the
offering of an old-fashioned battered
knife and fork, which the proprietor
doubtless gathered in at an auction sale
of antique household goods. There is
no limit to the amount of tea that you
may guzzle. The attentive waiter will
fill your cup again and again with hot
water, and, singular to relate, the tea
leaves give out strength and aroma after
much soaking. The cost of all this re-
freshment is only twenty cents. A reg
ular dinner, at which meats, coffee and
rice brandy are served, costs from forty
to seventy-five cents, according to the
number of courses and the seryice.-San

A MOman's Pluck.

THERE is a young woman in this city
whose name should be added to the roll
of honor, which so far contains but one
other, that of the gentleman who cap
tured porchthief several weeks ago
This young woman, who lives on Second
Street, recently entered into negotiations
with several rag dealers to sell them a
quantity of rags which were stored in a
part of the cellar, comparatively easy of
access from the back yard by going
through small she'd The negotiations
failed and the rags consequently re-
mained in the cellar. About noon one
day recently, however, three boys with
bags boldly entered the cellar and start
ed away with the rags. The young
woman saw and followed the thieves,
who were boys in their teens, but of
good size. She called TO them that the
rags were not theirs and that they must
be brought back. To this they an
swered tauntingly as they ran: "Just
hear the impudence of her." and like
unsoothing remarks. The young wom-
an at once gave chase down an alley
and over fence, with a speed and vim
not often surpassed by blue coats and
brass buttons. Such was her earnest
ness, at any rate, that the boys soon
dropped the bags, and small veloci-
pede, stolen probably from some yard,
with which the heroine returned in tri-
