The Stinw OF The Bee.

II We press the abdomen Of the bee or
wasp. so as TO cause the sing to pro-
tude. it IS but natural to think that the
sharp, dark-colorad instrument was the
sting itself. This. however. IS not the
case. The real sting is a very slender
instrument, nearly transparent, keeuly
pointed, and armed on one edge with a
TOW of barbs.
SO exactly does the sting resemble
the mauv-5arbal arrow Of certain saw
age tribes that if the savages had pos
sessed microscopes, We should certainly
have coniectured that they borrowed
the idea Of the barb from the inSecE.
What we see WITH the unaided eve Is:
simply the sheath OF the sting.
Many savages poison their spears and
spears, and here also they have been
anticipated by the insect. But the
sting is infinitely superior to the arrow
poison. No poison that has yet been
made, not even the terrible wourali, or
cUrare, as it is sometimes called, can re-
tain its strength after long exposure to
air. The upas poison of BOrneo, for
example, loses its potency in two or
three hours. But the venom Of the
sting is never exposed to the air at all.
It is secreted by two long thread-like
glands, not nearly so thick as a human
hair, and is then received into q little
bag at the base of the sting.
When the insect uses its weapon it
contracts the abdomen, thereby forcing
the sting out and COMPRISING the ven
om-bag. By the force of the stroke
which drives the sting into the foe its
base is pressed against the venom-bae
and a small amount of the poison driven
into the wound. As a rule, if the bee
or wasp be allowed to remain quiet, il
will withdraw it's sting, but as the pair
generally causes 4 sudden jerk, the
barbed weapon cannot be Withdrawn
and the whole apparatus of sting, poi
son-bag, and glands is torn out OF the
insect, thereby causing its death.-Goot

What Is q Creole!

Even in Louisiana the question would
be variously answered. The title did
not, here, first belong to the descend
ants of Spanish, but of French settlers.
But such a meaning implied a certain
to include any native, of French or
Spanish descent by either parent,
whose non-alliance with the slave race
entitled him to social rank Later, the
term was adopted by-not conceded to
the natives of mixed blood, and is
still SO used among themselves. At
length the spirit of commerce saw the
money-value of so honored title, and
broadened its meaning to take in any
creature of thing Of variety of manu-
facture peculiar to Louisiana that
might become an object of sale: as
Creole ponies, chickens, COWS, shoes,
eggs, wagons, baskets, cabbage, negroes,
etc. Yet the Creoles proper will not
share their distinction with the worthy
"Acadian." He is o Creole only by
courtesy, and in the second person
singular. Besides French and Spanish,
there are even, for convenience of
speech, "colOred" Creoles; but there are
no Italian, or Sicilian, nor any English,
Scotch, Irish, or yankee" Creoles, I'M
less Of parentage married into, and
themselves thoroughly proselyted in,
Creole society. Neither Spanish nor
American domination has taken from
the Creoles their French vernacrlar.
This, also, is part of their title; and, in
fine, there seems to be no more service
able definition of the Creoles of Louis
lana than.this that they are the French
speaking, native, ruling class.
There is no need to distinguish be-
tween the higher and the humber
grades of those from whom they sprang.
! 4 few settlers, only, were persons OF
rank and station. Many were the
! children of the casket-girls. and many
were Of such stock that society pro
nounces less than nothing; yet, in view
of that state of society which the French
revolution overturned, any present over
plus Of honor may as we'll fall to the
children Of those who filed the prisons
before, as of those who filled them
during that bloody convulsion.--G George
