Humble lSeOS,

There are about fifty distinct species of
humble or humble bees found in North
America, Of which rather more than half
the nuiaber occur in the United States, in
Guiding our new possessions in Alaska. In
tEc immediate neighborhood of Rock
Island we have taken about ten different.
species. The species differ notably in the
amount of yellow markings, but have all of
them the same general appearance; thew
differ also in size. AS with all other So
cial insects, there arc three distinct forms
in every species Of humble bee, like the
drones Tor malcs), the queens (or perfectly
fertile fcmalcs) and the workers (or partly
fertile fcmalcs) among the honcy.bccs.
Among the humble-bces, it is only the
queens or large females that live through
the winter and start fresh nests in the
spring; the workers or small females always
die IN the fall. These last, for the most
part, only differ from the queens in beng
about two-thrds their size. 1t is the
queens alono that are seen in early spring
Lying round apple blossoms, ETC., tho
workers not being born till later In the
year.

Teaching Parrots to Talk.

According to Cuvier, the celebrated
French naturalist, parrots may best bo
taught to talk by covering the cage at
night, or rather in tho evening, and
then repeating to them, slowly and dis
tinctly, the words they arc desired to
earn. They should be kept away front
placcswhcre they would be likely tohear
disagree-ablc noises. such as street cries
and the whistling and shouts OF boys
at play, or they will initiate them, and
become too noisy to be tolerated. Par
rots may be fed upon soaked bread and
biscuits, mashed potatoes and rape
seed They are fond Of nuts. Cayenne
pepper, sprinklcd upon bone and
given t" them occasionally, Is said to
be very Beneficial. They should be
kept very clean. and allowed Il bath
frequently. 1t would bo difficult to
point out modes of treatment of tho
diseases OF parrots, but when they be-
come sick 1t is best to keep them warm,
change their food for a time, aud give
them lukcwarm water to batho in.

The Crater of HilO,

we stood OH tho brink Of the molten
lake. And here the pen fails to convey
what the mind fails to comprehend
aud describe scene Of fearful, terrible
sublimity-a vast pit, thousand feet
IN circumference, with black walls
forty feet high, rising perpendicualrly
and at the bottom mass OF ever-mov-
Ing, ever-heaving melted lava; now
crusted over with a thin crust, which
was cooled by the atmosphere, now
swelling and bursting through the
crust, throwing up mass Of red hot
lava, spouting and beating ltously,
now pressing one way, now another,
surglng against the sides, to be dashed
back again into the ever-moving mass !;
seams opening, showing the lurid mass
beneath. The sight was awfully grand.
The minhwas forced back on itself, and
probably none of the party that stood
and gazod and wondered, but felt con-
strained to compare the terrible sight
before us with that lake whose fire
burneth forever and ever. There has
evidently been very great change in
the whole character and appearance Of
this crater since it was visited by Mr..
| Stewart in 1925. Its action must have
been, then, much more general and ex-
tended throughout the whole floor Of
the crater, whereas the only portion
now active is the small lake in the
southwestern part. There Is some
thing strangely fascinating in lingering
near this mighty display of creative
power, and many persons expose them
selves to danger in tho excitement of
procuring good points for view, or
spt cmens as mementoes of the visit;
and some of our party who seemed
little timid in approaching it, were the
last who carel to leave. We were
much surprised to find or see mass OF
lava, like an island, in the molten
lake. 1t may haye been thrown up by
the action of the volcano--or it may be
a mass detached from the SHE Of the
CLIFF ana fallen In. 1t forms quite a
striking feature Of the lake, and the
question of how IT. withstands the action
Of the molten mass that washes its base
is All interesting one. AT our right
was a steam escape which, at short
Intervals, emitted a loud, protracted
blast, like a high pressure steamboat.

TREATMENT OF MUSLIN ARTIcLEs.-
In washing muslin dresses, the colors
may be prevented from running by
pursuing the following course: Take
out all the gathers at the top of the
sleeves and the waist, wash the dress
quickly In not too warm water, rinse
1t Immediately, roll 1t smoothly in a
dry sheet, and let it remain till Just
damp enough to IRON. Another pro-
cess for washing fine muslin Of deli
cate colors, is to take some wheat bran
about TWO quarts for lady's dress
and boil 1t for half an hour in some
soft water, then allow 1t to cool, strain
tho liquid, and use it as a substitute for
soap suds. 1t removes the dirt from
the material like soap, Is inert In regard
to the colors, aud requires to be rinsed
out In only one clean water, and
starching Is unnecessary. This may
be regarded as the best method, on the
whole, of washing fine muslins, and
also calicoes. A great number Of beau
tiful dresses are, from time to time,
spoiled in washing, by the discharge Of
their colors, from the use of warm
suds. In all cases, the suds and rim
sing water for colored articles of dress
should be used as cold as possible. The
bran, used as above, should be nice
aud clean, and bright fair day, Is
better for the operation.

WATERING WINDOW PLANTs.-Thcrc
Is one universal law as to watering
plants, which great many people en-
tircly neglect. We mean the excellent
rule OF watering them with warm
water, always rather warmer than the
soil the plants arc growing In. Tho
organs of tender plants arc extremely
delicate; and when they are wanted TO
digest their food 1t Is bad plan surely
TO pa"alyZo them with cold. If we feed
them, on the other hand, with food a
nttle warm, they are stimulated at once
to make the mo st. of their mcSl. Anotb-
cr important branch of the Watering
question consists in the Washing that
