Edison and the Goose Eggs.
 

I have spoken about Edison's patience and perseverance. 1. funny story, the truth of wHich several of his friends attest, has been told me by one of his enthusiastic admirers to throw into relief the qualities. Ganders, as rural folk well know, fog with their wings children who show themselves disposed to interfere with matching geese. When Edison was boy of or 8, and stlll wearing petticoats, boys clothing being thought by his people too dear, it was observed by them, at the farm in Michi- gan, where he was brought up, that his bare legs were often badly beaten by the gander. He was told to keep out of Id's way, and let the geese alone. spring hostilities were again between him afss tlie gander. morning Edison disappeared. :ertained that he took with of food As he was still

Instinct of Insects and BIRDS.
Thomas Bowditch i'm Troy Times.

Thomas BOWditch in Troy Times.
Let us examine the marvellous
instinct of the solitary wasp in pro-
viding for the worm that will issue
from her egg after her own death.
She brings grubs-fcod that, as a
wasp, she never tasted-and de-
posits them over the egg, ready
for the larva she will never see.
The life history OF every insect
exhibits instincts of this prepleXing
description. Look at the instinct
i've character of bees in their
provisions for the future. Witness
the caterpillar, how at the proper
time 1t selects a suitable situation
and spins for itself a silken cocoon.
Marvellous instincts are met. with
outside Of the insect world: every
little bird is its own skillful ac-
coucheur. We once observed the
.self-delivery of the chicken. The
prison wall is not burst in pieces
by struggles. BY regular series
of strokes the shell is cut in two
Clipped around in a perfect circle
sorIe distance from the large end
The bird has special instrument
for this work-a hard, sharp horn
on the top of the upper mandible,
which, being required iOr no other
purpose, disappears in a few days
Obviously, each individual bird
no more acquires the art of breaking
its wav out than it furnishes itseli
with the little pick-hammer used
in the operation; and it is quite
clear the bird could have never
escaped from the egg WI hout the
instinct. How were eggs matched
before the birds had acquired the
the instinct to sit upon them? \
fowl which never before Willingly
shared a crumb with a companion
will now starve herself To feed heI
chickens, which she calls by ;
language she never before used
NAV have never heard-but which
they are born to understand.

Late advices from Japan state
that the relations between that
country and China are strained,
the latter retaliating for Japan's
course in the Formosa and Loo
Choo affairs, when China was in
difficulty with Russia. 1t is be
lieved in Yokohama, that China
made a secret treaty with Russia,
directly concerning Japan. The
second, or Tseng Tseng treaty,
has also its secret agreement or
compact relating to that country.
Terms of settlement with Russia
are given out with much ostenta-
ton, but well informed people re-
gard those terms as materially
qualified by subsidiary compacts,
the terms of which are not now
even limited at. The attitude of
Russia and the large feet main
tanned by that power in Chinese
and japanese waters, are matters
of increasing suspicion and anX-
iety. The hostile bearing of China
will tax the resources of Japan
to the utmost in defensive prepar.
ations, at a time when the financial
difficulties of the nation are over.

Detroit Plumbers .
Boston Evening Star.

a plumber fell from the fourth.
floor to the cellar through an ele-
vator shaft in Detroit, the other
day, and was uninjured. Plumb
ers sometimes die of broken hearts
in midsummer, when the butter
cups and daisies are blooming in
the meadows, when the little song
birds are twittering in the trees,
and when the water-pipes are
working to a charm throughout the
city. But they neither die nor can
they be killed by any ordinary
means in the winter time. A fall
of four stories through an elevator
shaft simply acts upon the plumb
er as a tonic.
