4 DurlesGuer's Beginning.

A young man who wants TO become a
comeaian of the burlesquo order asks
how is the best way to commence. Oh,
we don't know. They commence in DIFF
ferent ways. Some carry chairs at first,
and pull up the carpet, and stand around
holding wooden spears. But the surest
way is TO appear as heifer. Don't mis-
understand us. A young man who APP
peared here last year as the hind legs of
a stage heifer in burlesque opera is
now the leading comedian of the troupe.
We do not know how his experience as
the hind legs of heller helped him,
but he has got there, and gets salary.

Many OF our orcLidaceous plants ab-
solutely require the visits OF moths to
remove their pollen masses, and thus 10
fertilize them. l have also reason to be-
Jieve that humble bees are 1n3iapensa-
bic to the fertilization q the ha2rtsease
(viola tricolor), for Other bees Go not
visit this flower. From experiments,
which l have lately tried, I have found
that the visits Of bees are necessary for
the fertilization OF some kinds Of clover:
but humble bees alone visit tie red
clover (trlfoiiUm pTate1se), rs other
bees cannot reach the nectar. Hence /
have very little doubt thar, i the whole
genus OF humble bees became extinct CT
very rare in England. the heart5case
and clover would become very rare or
wholly disappear. The number OF
humbLe-bees IN any district depends in
q great degree upon the number OF field
mice, which destroy their combs and
nests; and Mr.. FL. Newman, vino has
long attended 10 the habits Of humble
bees, believes that st1nore than two
thirds Of them are thus destroyed all
over England" Now the number of
mice is largely dependent, as every one
knows, on the number Of eats, and Mr.
Newman says: "Near villages and
small towns L have found the nests Of
humble-bees more numerous than else
where, which I attribute to the number
Of cats that destroy the mice" Hence
it is quite credible that the presence of
feline animals in large numbers IN dis
trict might determine, through the in
tervention first of mice aud then OF
bees, the frequency OF certain flowers III

Advice TO Young ladies.

John Rasllin gives the following ad-
vice to young ladies: Sin order to in
vestigate oneself, it is well to fud out
what one is now. Don't think vaguely
about it. Take pen and paper and write
down as accurate description of your
self as is possible, and if you dare not,
find out why you dare not, and try and
get strength of heart to look yourself in
the face, mind as we'll as body. Always
have two mirrors on your dressing table,
and with proper care dress mind and
body at the same time. Put your best
intelligence to finding out what you
are good for and what you can be made
into The mere resolve not to be use
less and the honest desire to help other
people viii, in the quickest and most
delicate way, improve oneself. All &C :
complishments should be considered as
means of assisting others. In music
get the voice disciplined and clear, and
think only of accuracy; expression and
effect will take care of themselves. So
in drawing learn to set down tl,e right
shape of anything, and lain
its character to another if
you try only to make gs
for praise, or pretty on !. gse-
ment, your drawing will have little or no
real interest for you and no educational
power.
