Insects Working Tools.

/ wonder if you know that the small
est insects you see about. you have
tools given them to do their work with.
There is a little fly called a saw-fy, be-
cause it has saw to work with. 1t is
really very much nicer saw than you
could make, if you were ever SO old.
The fly uses it to make places where
the eggs will be safe. What is more
strange, it has a sort of homemade
glue, which fastens them where they are
laid.
Some insects have cutting instruments
that work just as your scissors do. The
poppy-bee is one of them, whose work is
wonderful. The bee has boring tool.
too. Its nest is usually made in old
wood This borer cleans out the nest
ready for use. When all is ready the in
sect cuts out pieces of leaves to line the
nest and to make the cells. These lin
ings are cut in the shape of the cells.
You would be surprised to see the care
taken to have every piece. of just the
right size, so that it will fit. When they
are fitted, the pieces are nicely fastened
together and put into the nest ON.

usually exercises only toward an older

To my surprise, in answer to my rap
the door was opened by Joe. He seized
my hand and drew me inside.

cried. What can we do for herr"
and with Joe still leading me, I went
into the miserable room where his poor
mother was lying. I had never seen
any one die, but | knew she was dying.
Joe seemed to realize it, too, for the
first time, as he looked at her, and
springing forward with heart-broken
cry, he knelt down beside her. She
smiled and patted his hand.
"God will be good to my son, were her
last words. I telephoned for another
man to come and gather the facts nee
essary to be published, and devoted
myself to Joe. A doctor who had been
sent for arrived soon after [ did, but it
was too late. He sent for woman to
prepare the poor woman for burial, and
when it was all over, Joe went with me
to my home.
That little newspaper paragraph mex,
morning, glanced at by thousands OF
eyes, unnoticed by thousands more,
was the record of a brave boys work
for two long years. The paragraph
only said something about the drunken

imprisonment, and ended with the SEN

by the twelve-vear-old son, who sold
newspapers for a living

did nothing of the kind. We only en-
couraged him to work on, and as fast
as he showed himself worthy, a better
position was given him. Last year he
announced that he had saved up money,
and was going to leave us for school.
and on examination he proved to be
ready for the last year of high school.
Now, at eighteen, he is studying in=his
first year at college. and is just as al
ways-a brave, independent boy, strong
in all the qualities which go to make up
a pure, earnest and successful man.

The HOME FAIRY.


There's funny little fairy
On his rounds by night and day.
And he goes about his errand
In very funny way.
Such tiny wand, so starry
Bears he in his tiny hand,
And he visits every mansion
Every cottage in the land.
Then he looks up in our faces,
With quaint and quizzing bye.
When he finds them dark and frowning,
OFF he goes without goodbye,
But II sunny smiles and dimples
Meet his glance, to work he goes,
And before a body knows it,
Pop! He jumps astride our nose.
To our ears he creeps and whispers
Many sweet and lovely things.
In our eyes he scatters sunshine
From his pretty diamond wings.
Then.he smOoths away our wrinkles
With the dazzling wand he bears,
While he sings song, so CHEEKY
That he lightens all our cares.
oh. his task is never ended
Till the world in s1umber lies!
Even then we dream so SweetIy,
With his sunshine in our eyes.
Has he met you on his journey?
Listen while his name [ tell:
He's the merry sprite Good Nature"
And hope you know him well.

The Other Sort Of SWindler.

There were six or eight of us in the
smoking-car as the train was running
down to West Point from Atlanta, and
everything was lovely until the seventh
man got on at small station. He had
no sooner entered the car than he looked
fixedly at the man who had been telling
us snake stories, and directly he walked
up to him and called out:
"Ha. you internal swindler, I've
found you at last!'
..Who's swindler?'
g You are!''
g / never saw you before!''
..You're liar, and Tn going to

It was presently discovered that he
recognized the snake-story man as q
fruit-tree agent who had sold him some
grape-yines which did not show up, and
he was splitting on his hands and making
ready to do the pounding, when the
other remarked:

you are mistaken. was never in the
fruit-tree business, and never swindled
you out of eighteen dollars. =

too much for a sewing machine, and
here's your money!
..Well, now, come to look more close

the seventh man.
..Of course I'm right growled the
other, as he counted out the money,
..and / warn you to be a little more
careful in future. / have a reputation

not in my line. Here's your sixteen
dollars, and now I think you ought to

Middle Florida.

We are highly gratifed TO learn, both from the
papers and people Of Middle Florida that that sec
ton of our State is fast stepping to the 'front.' and
assuming the Importance TO which it is justly enti-
tied We have never been of those who would dis
paragr one portion of our State Tor the benefit of
another. We feel common interest in West, Mid
die, East and South Florida, and heartily desire to
each and all Of them sharing a common and
equal prosperity
For some years past, that section lying east and
sonih oil the Suwannee river has led in he way of
progress aud development. Most of the new set
tiers impressed with the idea that the lands in
that direction were cheaper and better, and more
snitcd to the cultivation Of the semitropica fruits
To our mind, the lands OF the Middle cannot he
surpassed in fertility The scenery of that section is
also very attractive Pretty lakes sloping hills and
Smiling valleys combine to make up very attractive
landscapes 1t is peculiarly adapted to the produc
ton of early vegetables, the peach, pear grape
berry, etc, while many varieties of the
grow luAuriantly The growing of wool, and stock
raising generally, can, with proper attention, be
rendered very profitable
A new era is dawning upon Middle Florida aud
her many and striking advantages are very fast al
tracing the attention of persona from elsewhere
Tramp. Tramp TALL tue footsteps of III, many who
are marching i'll that direction, and We assure them
in advance of an honest and hearty greeting
Splendid cleared lands very convenient 10 trans
portation can be had at low prices and the people
OF that region feel very kiudl, towards strangers.
Noble opportunities offered there 10 the ihdusiri
aud energetic, and these qualities will surely in
sure their legitimate rewards.
What has been said nf Middle Florida vii apply
with equal fore. To The Western portion Of the
State. Now that il j. traversed hy railroad tor its
entire length, it is rapidly attracting attention and
inviting population.
We again express our qualification NJ this cond
ton of Affairs, and will always take great pleasure
in lending what influence The Florida Hnrnid may
possess in pushing forward the car of progress and
the march of Improvement.
