On Letting 1t Alone.

There is nothing in which men do
more wisely, when they agree to act
upon the prlsciple Of letting things
alone. than when they apply this rule
to the ISLANDERS and Interpretations
which are directed against themselves.
If only they can possess their soul ln
patience, aud sit down IN quietress
and self contrJl when they are misun-
derstood or nisrepresented, they gam a
much more certain and easy victory
than if they insist upon doing battle
with all whom, they regard az their
enemies. The truth is great, and Will
prevail, says an old Latin proverb. One
may 90 further and saw that. after all,
the truth hardly needs to be helped by
us. 1t will make its way by It's Own
weight; it will prevail by reason OF It's
own strength. So when the angry
storm Of slander RACES, when Jealousy
has begottOn fierce and bitter passions
which ~ their turn have armed them
selves with the cruel weapons OF false
hood and malice, wise man will learn
the wisdom of letting things alone. Lot
the storm blow past; but 10 not bruise
Yourself 10 fruilless blast. Leave it
alone. and it will shliek around you
harmless and by.and-bye the hurricane
will have blown itself out, aud YOU will
be exactl, where you were before ii
began 10 rlse-tbat Is, provided you
have the wisdom to let it alone.

A Mistake.

A WoMAN's GLovEs.-A critical

"A woman's glove is to her what a
vest is to a man. Precisely when
N an is asilated or perplexed be at once

casion for certain very expressive slang
phrases. A woman's vest does not

YOUTH AND AGE.

GOO kk A&ND AOA
When hearts are young and lightsome,
The road is straight and clear,
And round about on every side
How bright all things appear
The dullest music charms us then,
We laugh and know notwhy;
The very flowers upon our path,
They look too bright IN die.
When hearts are old and weary,
The road is twisted sore,
And there is little to be seen
Beyond our cottage door;
The flowers we thought would never fade
Lie dead upon the sod;
And then we sigh for peace aud rest
Within the arms Of God.

INSECTS VISITING FLOWERS.

Mr.. A. w. Bennett and Mr.. r. NJ. Christy
have been reporting to the Linn@an Society OF
London the result Of their observations on the
visits of insects to flowers. AS respects prefer
ence for particular colors, Mir Bennett has
noticed among the LepidOpteTa that 20 visits
we're made to red OF pink flowers. to blue, 10
TO yellow, and to white the Diptera paid
visits to red or pink, 8 to yellow, aad 20 to
white; HymenOptera alighted 3O3 times on
red or pink flowers, 1926 on blue III on yellow,
and II on white flowers. Mr.. Christy records
in detail the movements of &c insects, chiefly
bees, when engaged in visiting 2,400 flowers.
He tabulates the same, and concludes there
from that insects, notably the bees, decidedly
and with intent copfine their successive visits
to the same species of flower. According to
him, also, butterflies generally wander aim
lessly in their fight yet some species, includ-
ing the Frtillaries, are fairly methOdical in
.he'r habit He believes that it is not by color
::.Cie that insects are guided from one flower
% another Of the same species, and he suggests
1ha; the sense of smell may be brought into
yiGY. Bees, he AYERS have but poor sight for
sonE distances, but see well at short distances.

A REMARKABLE DUST.

On February 26 there was discovered in the
Snow in several places in Trondhjem Amt, in
North Norway, fine dust, which, it was he

zach an occurrence having taken place In
1876. DIR. ii. Reusch, of the Neurological
Faculty of Chrstiana University, having ex-
amined The samples forwarded to him, now
states however, that the dust is not of an
eruptive nature, bat consists of common sand,
Tine stones, quartz, hornbende and tale, mixed
With very fine particles of vegetable matter.
Inc phenomenon is nevertheless remarkable,
az fhe dust must have been carried a very long
distance, the whole of the country having for
ponths been covered with deep snow. The

PURIFYING PRODUCTS OF GAS CON-
BUSTlON

The use of lime in purifying coal gas on its
passage from the retorts to the gasoIneters is
recommending lime as purifier Of the pro-
ducts of gas combustion, thereby removing
some of the objections which prevent the use
OF gas in picture galleries and Other places.
Slaked lime is placed in vessel the bottom of
d0ned and perforated with fine holes. The
vessel is suspended about six inches above the
burner. IT is found that a stratum of four or
five inches of lime is sufficient to remove the
acid vapOrs so far as to prevent them from
reddcning litmus paper. The lime seems in
many respects to present important ad vantages
over the zinc previously recommended.
