Hox Hufmegs Grow.

Nutmegs grow on little trees which lock like small pear trees, and are gen erally over twenty feet high. The How CTS are very much like the lily of the valley. They are pale and very frag- rant. The nutmeg is the seed of the fruit, and mace is the thin covering over this seed. The fruit is about as large as a peach. When ripe it breaks open and shows the little nut inside. The trees grow on the islands of Asia and in trop- ical America. They bear fruit for sew enty or eighty years, having ripe fruit upon them at all seasons. A fine tree in Jamaica has over 4,OOO nutmegs on 1t yearly. The Dutch used to have all this nutmeg trade, as they owned the Banda islands, and conquered all the other traders and destroyed the trees. To keep the price up they once burned three piles of nutmegs, each of which was as large as church. Nature did not sympathize with their meanness. The nutmeg pigeon, found in all the h. dian islands, did for the world what the Dutch determined should not be done carried the nuts, which are their food, into all the surrounding countries, and trees grew up again, and the world had the benefit.

An Eve for an Eve.

A goodly number of persons who for merly became totally blind are now res cued from such a fate by the heroic expe- dient of cutting out one eye. The eye re- moved is usually one which has been se- riously injured in some way to such an extent that vision has become lost, and the organ remains probably shriveled and misshapen; at all events, red, irrit able and painful, and excites by sym pathy the other hitherto healthy organ, producing in it an inflammatory condi- ton which ends in total destruction. By removing the bad eye entirely the patient can pursue his vocation with the certainty of retaining such vision as he still possesses.

A Story of Borrowers.

There lived near my fathers ia mily
 in a quiet little village in Ohio, two families who were chronic borrowers, and the pests of the neighborhood. One borrowed by day, the other by night. The former would take anything, from a pinch of soda to bedquilt, but made specially of flour. The other family made no requests, but wood, coal, joints of stove-pipe, and garden implements followed in rapid succession The day borrower became a steady drain on the flour barrel. My mother, being of a
 ympathetic nature, could not refuse, and would doubtless yet have been sup plying the same family with flour if she had not had one bad girl among her family of children, who was alone at home one day when the lad who always came for the four entered. and in his old words said: ''Mam wanted couple spooniuls of flour to make batch bread" This same bad girl measured exactly two spoonfuls of flour into his immense wooden bowl. The fodr looked right lonely, but it didn't feel as lonely as that bad girl did when the mother of the lad came in and threatened "to skin her." She changed her flour market, but the
 otal depravity of that girl was clearly established. During one night two peach trees were entirely stripped of beautiful ripe fruit. Early next morn ing our night borrower called. My mother told of our loss, and, of course, had not the faintest suspicion as to who had taken them, and her neighbor ex- pressed Sympathy and disgust that any body would do so, when this same bad girl had to have her say, and remarked that it didn't matter much, as most ot the peaches were plugged, and that who- ever swallowed them wouldn't get a chance to digest them, for they were full of epicac-all of which was strictly false, and that bad girls mother was mortified at such falsehood. Two hours later, as some one was passing through the alley in the rear of the bor- rower's house, he discovered about bushel of cooked peaches. 1t was after ward learned that the family spent many hours in the night peeling and canning peaches, and as many hours nearly get ting them out of the cans. So, owing to that bad girl, peaches, sugar and labor were an entire loss, but we were ever after rid of our night as we'll as day bor- rower. So much for having bad girl in the family.

The UnSneaking Snecies.

A novel fight recently occurred Atlanta, Ga., between a rooster and two small but vicious dogs. It lasted several minutes, during which the bird lost a great deal of his plumage and most of his tail; but at last he beat the dogs all hollow, and they retired, sadder and wiser animals. --..
 MT. John w. Wheeler, of Tuscola, H., was awakened by his dog spring ing upon his bed and clawing at the bed clothes. Startled at the unusual con duct of the animal he got up and dis covered that fire was raging in the lower part of the house, and he barely escaped with his family and the dog.
 The Buffalo Courier tells of rem ark able canary bird in that city. After long months of patient training, during which time the bird was kept in dark place and had certain tune played to him several times a day, the little singer did actually succeed in initiating the familiar melody, and can now be heard all day singing this song, very seldom forgetting his training to fall into the old canary bird-like strain.
 A good friend, on the accuracy of whose observation I can depend, in- formed me that one day one of his workers flew into the hive bearing a little pellet of something with which she and her companions play ed much as young kittens do with bal. of yarn. A gentleman one day noticed large spider conducting herself ill a very peculiar manner, which he soon inter- preted to be intense fear for an immense wasp, the spiders natural enemy. The spider was evidently trying to escape, but was compelled to stand on guard. The fight was watched with exceeding in terest, and at last, by some good and rare fortune, the spider made 8 telling attack and killed her enemy. As soon as she became conscious she was out of danger she performed the most amusing motions-a war dance, perhaps-seemt ingly indicative lof ggreat glee.-Dr. Baker, Qf.. f..Asl6ury.. UniUersity.
