Dosing Trees with Sulphur.

There is prevailing and popular idea that insects may be driven from trees by boring holes through the bark into the wood, placing sulphur therein and plugging the hole. There are some persons who profess to have tired the experiment with success, to have cleared trees, such as elms, of the destroying worm, etc. Prof. c. V. Riley, entomologist of the department of agriculture, pronounces these remedies as fallacious.
 ''The belief in tbeir efficacy" he says, "is founded on the supposition that the poison passes with the sap into general circulation and with it into the foliage, and is destruct- i've to leaf eating insects. It is an entirely unfounded idea, and is based upon ignorance of the fact that the substance remains in tact and is not taken up in the circulation. Instances where it has seemed to succeed have been recorded, and in such cases it's apparent efficacy was due to q coincident disappear ance of the insect from some other cause Sulphur which plugged up in such holes many years ago was found to be perfectly unchanged after many months. All such remedies may be stamped as nonsense. "- Scientific American.

Snake Charming.

On account of the cobra's timidity and the great ease with which it can be tanned it is the only snake with which the snake charmers will have anything to do. By attracting its attention with one hand it may easily be seized round the body with the other, and so long as the hand or any other object is kept moving before its eyes it will never turn to bite the hand that holds it. This is the simple fact, the knowledge of which the charmers turn to such advantage in their we'll known performances.
 The snake is taken from its basket, and 6 slight stroke across the back brings it at once into defensive attitude. The constant mo. tion of the musical instrument before the snake keeps it watchful and erect, and not the music produced. As matter of fact snakes have no external ears, and it is ex. tremely doubtful whether the cobra hears thi music at Philadelphia Times.

tering ribbon, or spear grass that waves in the wind
 There wai a little shrine at the corner of the garden, set into the wall; Q niche with bit of glass and of the Virgin, so battered that no one could trace any feature of it.
 It had been there for centuries, and was held in great veneration, and old Antoine had always cut the choicest buds of his roses and set them in a deh pot in front of it every other morning all the summer long. Bebee, whose religion was the sweetest, vaguest mingling of pagan and Christian myths, and whose faith in fairies and in saints was ex- actly equal in strength and in ignorance Bebee filled the delf pot anew carefully, then knelt down on the turf in that little green corner and prayed in devout, hopeful child ish good faith to the awful unknown Powers who were to her only as gentle guides and kindly playmates.
 Was she too familiar with the Holy Mothers
 She was almost fearful that she was; but the Holy Mother loved flowers so we'll, Bebee would not feel aloof from her nor be afraid.
 "When one cuts the best blossoms for her, and tries to be good and never tells lie," thought Bebeee, "I am quite sure, as she loves the lilies, that she will never altogether forget me-"
 So she said to the Mother of Christ, fear lessly, and nothing doubting, and then rose for her daily work of cutting the flowers for the market in Brussels
 By the time her baskets were full, her fowls fed, her goat foddered, her starling's cage cleaned, her hut door locked and her wooden shoes clattering on the sunny road into the city, Bebee was almost content again, though ever and again, as she trod the famil- far ways, the tears dimmed her eyes as she remembered that old Antoine would never again hobble over the stones beside her. "You arc little willful one and too young to live alone," said Father Francis, meeting her in the lane.
 But he did not scold her seriously, and she kept to her resolve; and the women, who were good at heart, took her back into favor again; and so Bebee had her own way, and l the fairies, or the saints, or both together, ] took care of her; and so it came to pass that all alone she heard the cock crow while it was dark, and woke to the grand and amazing l truth that this warm, fragrant, dusky June morning found her full 16 years old.

his cheek, and tear dropped on to his hands, which her own were blindly and timidly seeking.
 "Oh' she whispered, or rather sobbed, 'I never dreamed of it. I never thought of any thing like this. But-do not leave me again. I could not bear it."
 Kendall bowed his head upon the hands nestling in his, and it seemed to him as if life and time were suspended, as if he and she wero standing within the ''wind warm space'i of love, while death and sorrow and parting three grave and tender angels of benedic- tion-kept watch and ward without.
