A Hint for UrchnrdIslr.

One Of the worst enemies the apple
orc hard has to contend with is the cod
ling moth, which, unless dealt with in a
vigorous manner, is very apt to destroy
the fruit of the orchard. The p~asturing
sheep inthe orchard, when the fruit APP
proaches the ripening stage, appropriate
to themselves the early decayed fruitIthat
falls, and thus keep in check the worm
which does all the damage. A. II. Whit
ney, Of Franklin Grove, Lee county, Ills,
the largest orchardist in the United
States, having $4,000 bearing trees, re-
marked at the recent meeting OF the
American N~urserymen's Association OF
Dayton, that he could not get along at
all in his orchard without sheep. While
the fruit of his neigbors, who do not
keep sheep, suffers badly, his apples
are smooth, sound and uninjured by his
mode of preserving them from the
enemy,

POPULAR SCIENCE.

Paper betting is used with success in
the machinery hall Of an exhibition now
held in Japan. 1t is stated that the

In bread making one of the products
of decomposition by fermentation, be-
sides carbonica acid, is alcohol, which, dur

Mr.. r. II. C~hittenden is inclined to
the belief that in the stomach there are
two stages Of digestion, separable from
the other-a first, in which the action
of the saliva can go on without hin
drance, and a second, in which the pep
sin alone is active.
In a recent work on the nests and
eggs of birds, DR.. Il. w. Won Reichenau
states that the ornamental plumage,
crests, etc, of the male bird are due to
an excess OF energy, while the vitality of
the females is exhausted by the produc-
ton Of eggs and the task OF incubation.
An English scientist considers worry
and overwork to be the most important
causes of debility. The men, he says,
who first enticed women and children
into an industrial career, and they who
have in later times devised the scheme
of a competitive examination, have done
more to enfeeble the British than can
be counterbalanced by the most perfect
systems Of drainage and ventilation,
with the highest personal cleanliness
s%uperadded.
In a lecture delivered before the Royal

According to Design anil Work,
smooth, strong and pliable parchment
can be manufactured from the palmetto
Of Florida and other Southern States.
The parchment can be washed, rubbed
and handled just like a cloth, and the

cheaply manufactured, and is likely to
come into general use for legal docu-

of the weight of the palmetto, it is said,
can be utilized in the process.

For n Little Bird Tells,

It's strange how little boys mothers
Can find it all out as they do
liza fellow does anything naughty
Or says anything that's not truel
They'll look at you just a moment,
Till your heart in your bosom swclls,
And then they know all about it.
For a little bird tells!
Now, where the little bird comes from,
Or where the little bird goes,
If he's covered with beautiful plumage
Or black a. the king Of the crows.
If his voice is as hoarsc as a raven,
Or clear as the ringing bells,
/ know not but this / am sure Of
A little bird tells!
The moment you think a thing wicked,
The moment you think a thing bad,
Are angry or sullen CT hateful,
Get ugly OF stupid or mad,
On toasc q dear brother OF sister
That instant your sentence Inc knolls,
And the whole to m in a minute
That little bird tells
You may be in the depths Of the closet
Where nobody sees but 8 mouse!
You may be all alone in the cellar,
You may be on the top of a house,
You may be in the dark and the silence,
Or out in the woods and the dells-
No matter! Wherever it happens
The little bird tells
And the only continuance to stop him
Is just to be SUR what to say
Sure Of your facts and yOur ~fancies,
Sure Of your work aud your play
De honest, be brave and be kindly,
Be gentle and loving as well,
And then you can laugh at the stories
The little bird tells!
