great ability, and she saw a great deal
Of him WHEEL az Mr.. NOrton's when he
was "a young man about town. She
did not see very much Of him after he
had once entered upon his political
career. Here, however. is little anec-
dote which is very characteristic and
amusing. Ny mother had a great ad-
miration for the 'C~uriosities of Litera-
ture' and was anxious Z make the ac-
quaintance of DisraeI's father, but
there was a difficulty about this. as az
the moment he was not on good terms
with his father.
However, he appeared one day with
his father in tow. As soon as they
were both seated, Disraeli turned round
and, looking at his father as If he were

Blind Insects Act a. IL They Had sight.
So far as insects of the caves are CON
cerned the loss Of sight which they
gradually undergo is sufficiently well
understood. The first step is a decrease
in the number of the facets which
make up the compound eyes. with a
corresponding diminishment of the
lenses and retinR. After four or five
generations the eyes become useless.
IL would be most interesting 10 breed
these or other blind creatures of the
caves in the light, 80 as 10 find out il
they would get their sight back. In
all animals, including man. it is found
that nature tries 20 compensate for loss
of vision by increasing the pOwerof tire
u of touch. Thus the ateunae Of
cave insects grow remarkably long.
IL is very curious to find that nothing
in their behavior suggests the Tact that
they IRE blind. They walk. run. stop.
explore the ground and try 10 escape
from the grasp Of the bug hunter lust
as If they really saw. The light Of "a
candle s%tartles them as much as if they
perceived il visually. Il is a remarka-
ble fact, proving that the ancestors Of
these creatures could see, that in the
embryo stage Of their existence they
have eyes well developed.-Washing-

Taking Care of a Mans Clothes.
From the New York sun.


at is not very difficult task to take
care of ones Clothes" said a man who,
though he has but moderate means, always
appears well dressed, "and it pays to do it.
It is better to have number of suits and
to wear them off and on than to wear one
suit continuously until you are ready to
lay it aside for another. If you have, say
four suits, and change every day or two,
they will retain their shape and freshness
better than four suits each worn steadily
during a quarter of that period. When
clothes are worn constantly the creases in
the coat sleeves and the punches of the
knees of the trousers become pronounced
and confirmed, and they cannot be pressed
out so that they will stay out. If clothes
are hung properly after wearing, their own
weight and the elasticity Of the cloth help
to preserve their shape
"a man should never hang up his coat
by loop made for that purpose if he can
avoid it; if hung in that way it will sooner
or later sag out of shape. 1t is almost
impossible to fold a coat so smoothly and
neatly that it will not crease; it is certain
to do so if it should be left for a few days,
especially in damp weather There is just
one proper thing to do with coat when it
is not in use, and that is to hang it up
carefully on a coat hanger.
"My house is small, and have only one
room to myself, and that room has no
closet; l keep most Of my clothes in
wardrobe put walking stick in the
middle row of hooks screwed into the
under side of the shelf, and l hang the
hook of the coat hangers on the walking
stick. When | hang up coat | am of
course careful that it and the coats on
each side of it are left smooth. The coats
hang pretty close together, but they are in
an even row, and some part of each is
visible. | don't have to pull them about
to find the coat | want, and my coats are
not so numerous but that | can identify
each one at glance.
"0f course the best thing to do with
trousers is to hang them on hanger, but
the next best thing is to fold them and lay
them at full length. They must be folded
true and smooth, so that the creases will
come exactly right. I haven't room for
the proper care of coats and trousers, too,
so [ pile my trousers on the bottom of the
wardrobe. The edge of each pair are in
view and selection is easy. If [ take any
pair below the top have to lift off those
and then put them back This is slight
inconvenience, but it is far better to take
that trouble than to hang your trousers up
by the straps, which should never be
done "

A Plant that is Boycotted.

"There is, says horticulturist, "hardly
an instance in natural history of plant SO
universally detested by the animal world as
the castor oil plant No sort Of bird or
creeping thing will touch castor oil
plant. 1t seems to be rank poison to all
the animal world. Even goat will starve
before biting off leaf, and a horse will
sniff at it and turn up his upper lip. as
though it had the most detestable odor on
the face of the earth. Army worms and
the locusts will pass it by, though they may
eat every other green thing in sight, and
there is no surer way to drive moles from
a lawn than to plant few castor beans
here aud there. Even the tobacco worms
will refuse to be fed on its leaves.

MORAL MAGIC.


Think often of mems worthy ways,
Speak rarely of their bad ones;
Sing freely of your happy days,
Keep silent of your sad ones.
1t is not right to fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps to wake it;
Pure happiness is standing by
Our life is what we make it,
Look on the nobler side of each.
Still trusting firmly in it;
A prize there is within your reach
If you but try to win it.
Why let chain hold you in pain,
When you with ease can break 1t?
See in your hand the magic wand
This life is what we make ii!
Lift up your eyes when you are sad,
Your Lonesome heart strings aching
Behold. the world at heart is glad,
In smiles at all points breaking
Fresh streams of bliss are ever flowing;
Deny your thirst or slake it,
Both here and there where you are going
Your life is what you make 1t!
The deeds we do or leave undoue
Make sweet OF, nauseating
Both what we meet beneath the sun
And states beyond II waiting;
And let kind fates the soul compose
Or cruel fortune shake it,
Through all the way true insight shows
That life is what we make i'll
As wine in forms and hues knows change
In varied kinds of glasses,
Experience draws its endless range
From souls through which it passes
Learn then at once. nor wait till later,
That seize it or forsake it,
Than this there is no maxim greater
Our life is what we make it
The strongest magic in the world
Consists of shared emotion;
Beneath this flag aloft uniurled
All sparkles like an ocean.
The heart may brood alone in blight
Till dread disgust doth take it;
A friend draws near with love and light
And life is Rhat these make it,
Then praise tn those whose cheerful hearts
Shed hope AMI joy about them;
AT each dear name the courage starts
We had not known without them.
Our earth shoulG Je a happy spot
To all who may partake it;
The faults their own if it is not
For life is what we make it.
