Origin of a Common Custom.

The following account OF the origin
of the custom of tolling the bell on
boats passing the tomb of Washington
was given at meeting of the Wash
ington Literary Society by DIR. Toner:
This token of regard, it is said. or
iginated on a French merchant vessel
which had been to Alexandria for a
cargo. and going down the river after
General Washington's death. but be-
fore bis intcrmcnt. placed its eolors at
half-mast and tolled its bell continu-
ously while passing the house of
mourning. This special testimony of
respect impressed every person as be-
coming and appropriate. and it was at
once taken up and praeticed by all
river crafts. Ever since then the bell
IS toilcd on vessels of every character
and nation VIII CHI pass the tomb OF
Washington. ltmay, therefore, be claim
ed to have grown into custom of inn
press We reverential respect. observed
by all vessels sailing up and down the

Efforts That Should bc Made to Remove
Insect Pests.
It is important that arrangements
should be made by the owners of or
chards for the free run of sheep, swine,
and poultry. for devouring the infested
fruit which drops from the trees. There
are three insects which need special at
tention. the codling moth, curculio and
apple maggot. Sheep will pick up and
devour the infested and dropping speci-
mems of apples, plums and pears. and
swine will do the same. but they are not
so yigilant. Hens pick up fallen plums
early in the season while the fruit is
small. Some persons enormously assert
that hens devour the insects alone. but
these persons do not seem to reflect
that hens can not reach up the tree-tops
and get at the curculios while they are
depositing their eggs, nor seize the lar
vac as they are leaving the young fruit
to enter the ground. The useful work
Of the poultry is. in devouring both the
infested fruit and contained Larvae at
one stroke. In addition to the Earring
process, there is some reason to believe
that Paris green may be successfully used
for the curculio, either by acting on the
young Larvae or in some other way. There
is therefore no difficulty in meeting the
curculio if proper means are used.
With the codling moth there are two
well proved Notwithstanding with
Paris green, and devouring by sheep
and swine For the apple maggot,
which comes later in the season. there
appears as yet to be no remedy devised
but beating off the infested fruit, for
sheep and swine to gather.
These insects do not always confine
themselves to the fruits which they are
commonly supposed to specially attack.
The apple and the pear are often ruined
by the curculio. Prof. Maynard col
lected large number of the young APP
Piles, which dropped from tree with
an abundant crop. when they were half
an inch or more in diameter. Out OF
800, it was found that all but three
were punctured with the plum cureulio.
and not infested with the codling moth.
1t is well therefore to make provision TO
meet these destroyers with ample app
pliances; and the orchardist who raises
fruit for market, or for home use, should
have enough animals to take care of the
depredators, as well as to aid in manur-
ing the soil. Sheep sometimes attack
the bark of young trees, and we have
known swine to strip the stems: but the
use of repelling wash has held sheep
in check. and few twigs OF sweet
briar or Usage orange bound around the
trunk have kept swine at respectful
distance. If in addition to the above
mentioned modes of protecting the crop.
the use of poisons is added, there will
be . reasonable certainty of having
fair and handsome snecimens.-Coufs-

tain remains of the old stone age,
one finds human bones not gnawed
only, but broken for the sake of the
marrow-treated just like the beasts
bones among which they lie. In Franco
it is the same; experts say they can tell
the difference between the marks of q
rats or tigers tooth and of that of 4
man, and no animal has ever got so far
as breaking the bones that it mumbles.
In our British barrows there is not the
slightest doubt. from the arrangement
of the remains, that, when chief was
buried. not only were his slaves killed
and buried with him. but their bodies
first furnished out the funeral feast.
The horrible old Hellenic myths, such
as Tantalus cooking his son Pelops as a
meal for gods. and Aureus dishing up
his brother Thyestes' children and ask
ing him to dine off them, are survivals
of time when tie man-cooking oven

it was the other day in New Zealand or

Mr.. Travers don't like roller-skating.
Hes afraid he'll fall and break himself
that's what's the matter with him. hate
to see man afraid, and l told him so, but
he said: Jimmy, I've got to buy my own
clothes and pay my own doctors bills, and
not being as rich as Vander-au.d l can't af-
ford to skate And then he told me story
about boy that would skate all day and
as he didn't use anything but his legs, they
grew and grew till they got to be five feet
long and as big round as an ordinary man,
while the rest of him didn't grow at all, so
party of surveyors that were LAYING out
railroad hired him and used MIN for pair
of compasses to measure land with, and
they handled him so roughly that they bent
one leg and twisted the other off, just as
did with a pair of compasses used to have.
This story didn't brighten Inc at all. If my
legs were to grow like the boys I'd get
place in a museum with big salary, and
have the best kind of time. Mr.. Travers
means well, but he don't know what kind
of stories to tell boys when be wants to
brighten them and do them good.
Sue was anxious to skate the moment she
heard the rink was open, and she tried to
get Mr. Travers to give her a pair of skates,
but he wouldn't do it He said she would
fall and hurt herself, and thought he was
really unkind.
So told Sue would lend her my skates.
and show her how to skate. She said I was
a dear good boy only am afraid that I'll
fall and l don't want to do that before
everybody. But told her that / knew a
way to skate without falling, and I'd teach
it to her.
You see, the reason why people fall is
that their feet spread apart When one
foot slips away from the other you've got
to fall, and there isn't any help for it Now
if you were to tie your feet together with a
rope about foot long, your feet couldn't
separate and you couldn't fall. l invented
this way myself, and 1 think it was very
generous in me to tell Sue about it for
nothing. Some people, if they had invent
ed it would have kept it to themselves, and
been famous. like the man that invented
lightning and sewing machines.
Well, Sue arranged that was to 60 to
the rink with her; and put her skates on
and tie her feet together, some morning
when there was nobody else in the rink to
see her. l took her there the next morn
ing, and We had the place all to ourselves.
put on her skates and tied her feet to-
gether, and stood her up straight and then
she made me go away and leave her. She
said was to come back for her in half an
hour, but that she wouldn't try to skate
while l was there looking at her. So
went away, but before l got out of the dool
she started to skate, and got halfway
across before she came down. couldn't
understand how she came to fall, for was
sure had tied the rope all right but ther
you can't expect much from girls.
