That the earring was used in Britain
during the Bronze Period has been
proved by DR.. John Evans in his can

row at Cowlam, in Yorkshire, touching
the temporal bones, he says, which were
stained green by the contract, were
two earrings of bronze. They were
made by beating one end of piece of
bronze fiat and forming the other
into a pen-shaped termination. The

THOSE GOOD OLD - FASHIONED
FOLKS.

Somehow the people of to-day amt as they
used to be,
At any rate, I'm pretty sure they're not the
same to me.
And while they're many just as good as those
I fused to know,
There're scores and scores among them that
are only so and so.
We used to always take man exactly as he
said,
But now it's safe to take him just the other
way instead
Il does my heart just lots Of good to meet
once in while
Some of those good old-fashloned folks so
nearly out Of style.
Wouldn't say the world in honesty is slipping
back,
l wouldn't say that Christians hunting grace
have lost the track,
wouldn't say that men to-day are less the
friends of truth,
Because they seem to differ from the ones l
knew in youth.
Those statements refuse to make, but this 1
freely say,
Those people please me quite as well as those
I meet to-day.
Their hearts and hands were honest and their
lives held little guile,
did those old-fashioned people now so nearly
out of style.
We're wiser than they used to be, we m y be
weaker, too,
And good old homespuu honesty may less our
hearts Undue.
These later days we all are bent on getting
rich so fast,
We haven't time to think of things they
thought of in the past.
We're wildly striving after gold, we rush and
push and crowd,
And after while we'll each be wanting pock-
cts in his shroud
But none of us can e'er outrank within the
afteIwhile
Those good old-fashioned people now so
nearly out of style.

GROWING OLD.

Tin growing old, they tell mei
They say Pm getting gray,
And that my face has not the grace
It had once on day.
And in my gait I show it
That I am growing old
Hurrah! wouldn't know it
If I was never told.
I'm growing old, they're saying
Hurrahl They do not know
A cheerful mind is not the kind
To any older grow.
The worlds as bright as ever,
Pm happier each day,
And rll feel young forever,
No matter what they say.
Hurrah, for growing older,
And better all the while,5

Will take away my smile,
That bravely will be showing
And lighting up my face .
They think Pm older growing,

THE TOMATO WORM.
IT Has Parasitic Enemy That Makes
Its Life a Burden.

1t Has a Parasitic Enemy That Makes
Its Life a Burden.
am frequently asked, says Entomolo-
gist Clarence M. Weed, in American
Garden, concerning the origin of the
peculiar egg-like objects often seen on
the backs of tomato worms. These are
not eggs, however, but are the cocoons
of little parasitic fly, an enemy of the
worm, and they originate as follows:
Some fine summer day when the to-
mato worm is enjoying his meal of the
leaves of the fruit of the tomato,
small, black, four winged fly alights
upon his back and deposits beneath his
skin by means of a long needle-like in
strument called the oxerpositor, great
numbers Of minute eggs. In few
weeks these eggs hatch into little leg
less grubs which absorb the juices OF
the worm and develop at his expense.
In few weeks the tomato worm stops
feeding-its body being literally full of
the grubs. When full grown these
grubs bore holes in the back of their
host and crawl through the skin and
escape. As soon as they are on the out
side they begin spinning white silken
cocoons, which are the objects frequent
ly mistaken for eggs. Within these
cocoons they change to the pupa state
and in about fortnight emerge as four,
winged flies like the original egg-layer
Tomato worms affected by the para
sites seldom live to change to their
pupa state, and never, so far as known,
complete their transformations. But
these little parasites do not always
have things entirely, to their own lik-
ing, for they are themselves subject to
the attacks of a still smaller parasite,
which destroys them as they destroy
their hosts These secondary parasites,
as they are called, are quite different
from the primary ones, differing both
in form and color. This species of
primary parasite which attacks the
tomato worm is called by entomologists
Apanteles congregatus. 1t is black, while
THE secondary species may be either
yellowish brown or a brilliant blush
green. Any one can get these parasite
flies by inclosing some of the cocoons
in box or other receptacle

A Western Magician's Exper icnce with
One OF His Eastern Colleagues.
A traveller who recently made tour
of the Orient, and who, by the way, is
something of q magician himself, tells
the following remarkable story Of his
experience with some of the wizards OF
the East:
>" = One Of these was begun
by the largest man in the group, who
threw great coil of ribbon far towards
the sky. As it uncoiled in mid-air a
small hawk seemed to be liberated
from it, to seize the ribbons end in its
beals, and to fly with it in cloud,
which apparently proceeded from the
ribbon itself land was caused, l pre-
sumo, by something burning along its
surface. From this cloud there now
slid to the ground snake, frog and
a smiling native baby, which one OF
the women caught in her arms and held
out to the astonished crowd. All the
magicians, save the larger, who was Of
more gigantic stature, now left the
place. The giant then sat upon the
ground, concealing himself with large
umbrella, exacting from me a promise
to remove 1t at the expiration Of i've
minutes by my watch. When done as
directed, the giant had disappeared,
through the earth where he had sat was
perfectly solid. Returning to the inn,
we found our giant sitting serenely on

New Way of Draining Soil.

The planting of eucalyptus trees for
the purpose of draining the soil in ma
larial districts is one which has met with
some success. The Trefon tame convent
at Rome had become positively. unin.
habitable, owing to the malaria which
attacked-in many instances with fatal
results-its inmates. Senator Torelli
presented d bill proposing that the es-
tate annexed to the convent should be
planted with eucalyptus as an experl-
ment against malaria. The bill was
passed and the Trappist monks planted
thousands of eucalyptus plants of all
species on the estate. But still the ma.
laria ragged, and several monks suffered
severely. 1t was, however, remarked
that It was only the monks who had
their cells looking on the central elois.

THIS suggested the idea OF planting foux

A French Town which Is Supported MAIN.
iy by Horologicai industries.
About Ave miles from Dieppe is the
town Of Saint Nicolas d'Aliermont,
where an important trade in clock-mak-
ing is carried on. Not only are clocks
made there, but the skill Of the work
men mas been used in other directions
Commenting on this branch OF business
In France. d. w. Lee Jortin, the British
Vice-Consul at Dieppe, In his last report
mentions that an important new induss
try has been started and developed at
St. Nicolas by English enterprise and
capital.
The chief articles manufactured at ST.
Nicolas are movements for aneroid ba-
rometers, English gongs for clocks,
movements for carriage clocks and regu-
lator clocks and even for chronometers.
Eight day and alarm clocks are an impor-
tant part of the manufacture, as about
ten thousand are turned out in year.
Mantel and other clocks are made, but no
watches. Escapements for these clocks
come from the. East Of France. Work
men are employed at several places
round about St Nicolas, and in Dieppe
itself; while in the latter town alone
200, 900 dials are turned out yearly for
St Nicolas, Beaucourt, Paris and En-.
gland.
This industry gives employment to
about /, 500 men, women and children.
On an average they earn over Q shillings
day, and a good workman can earn
from shillings to 8 shillings per day.
The value Of the manufactures is 8, 000,-
600 francs per year. This reference to
clock-making in France may be interest
ing, as the Earl OF Derby is trying to
revive the languishing industry OF
watch and clock-making at Prescott, near
Liverpool, England, to compete with the
machine made9 clocks and watches Of
America and the Continent
A smaller trade at Dieppe is the manu-
facture of chronometers for torpedo
boats. 1t has been much encouraged by
the French Government. Out of fifteen
prizes given at the. last competition six
were awarded to the manufacturers in
Dfeppe, and out Of ten which the Gov
eminent bought five were ordered from
Dieppe. Each chronometer in gold
case costs 92o; in silver case, si2-
