the idol of the moon, which they worship,
red on the second day of the week, called
bv them Moons DeHg, and since by us
Monday. c.
The Idol of Tusco -Tuisco was at first
denied as the f, ther and ruler OF the
Teutonic race, but in course OF time he
was worshipped rs the son OF earth. From
this came the Saxon words IHiSc0 DeGg,
whi( h we called Tuesday.
The Idol of Wodin. or Odln.-.W od!n'
or Odin, was one of the supreme dlVlnltles
of the northern nations. lit was called
Voden's Deag, and by us Wednesday,,
The Idol of Thor.-Thor was the eldest
and ablest of the sons of Wooden and Frlga.
To him the fifth day of the week, called by
them TRor'S Deag and by us lhursaay'
was consecrated.
The Idol of Friga, or Frega.-Friga was
the wife of Wooden, or Odin, and next to
him the most reserved divinity among the
heothern Saxons, Danes, and other north
nrn nations, To her the sixth day OF the
week was consecrated, which by the
Saxons was written FrtgG's Dedg, CORE

A LIGHT CROP or HONEY.-Recent nd =
vices from California represent the season s
honey crop as virtually failure, SO that
there will be no surplus for shipment to
the east, and hardly enough to supply the

New England the yield has also been vorv

which prevailed during the entire flower.

have no honey at all to spare, and some of
them say they will even be obliged to buy
honey TO feed their bees upon, The supply
now in this market is very small, and

to exceed eighty and even ninety pounds

The existence Of n prehensilo tree IN
certain islands of the Pacl1c IS reported
by Lieut.. Houghton. The branches OF the
tree send out long slender tendrlls, winch
touch the ground without taking. root ana
Irvine about any objects within reach.
These tendrils contract after time so that
thew do not touch the grounds, and in TINS
way they often lift objects of considerable
weinht around which they have become
coiled. The tree seems to be allied to the
banyan, which sends slender tibres from

thew eventually become rooted and form
new stems, which have the same function
