Feeding Insectivorous Plants.

Francis Darwin, the son Of the great
naturalist, has been Investigating the
effect on ihsectivorous plants Of supply
ING them with, and withholding from
them, animal food, "Hc grew two lots
Of plants under similar conditions. Oae
lot he fed with roast meat, one-fftieth
of grain being placed on the secreting
glands; while from the other all such
material was carefully excluded. Inc
results were most marked in the number
and weight of the seeds. The number
of seeds produced by the fed plants was
as 24O to 100 of the useful ones; while
the total weight of the seeds was as 3S9
to 100"
In other words, the plants which were
restricted to vegetarian diet were in
valids compared with the plants
furnished with animal food. Should not
that do something toward convincing
the vegetarians that their doctrine does
not make for health2 tits difficllt to
suppose that if there are even some
vegetables which do not flourish on
vegetable diet, there can be anything
against nature IN supplying animals
provided with all the instincts and
organs which appear to point to car
n,vorous diet with a considerable pro-
portion of animal food. And we sup
pose that the heavier seed would imply
also more fertile seed. At least it Is SO
with wheat, where the heavier the grain
the more abundant is its fertility.-Lon'
don Spectator.

A spEARsMAN AT WORK.

spearsman may sit in the bitter cold for
an hour at time, not daring to move,
and yet never see the slim, graceful out
lines of a fish in the translucent waters
below. When o pike does appear, the
sportsman waits until it is well under
the hole, and then, before 1t has time to
be alarmed, darts down his six-probged
spear like flash. The spear resembles
lightning, according to the small boys
definition, in that it never needs 10
strike twice in the same ploce. 1tis sell
dom the fish can dodge it.
Sometimes the houses are larger and
uiyre pretentious than those above de-
scribed, and the sportsman is OCCASION
ally accompanied by boy to feed the
stove, bring in wood and generally look
after his comfort. But at the best it Is
rather a lonely and arduous way of max
ing living. Hamilton Bay is particu-
larry we'll adapted to this mode OF fish
ing, as when the ice is once formed 1t
seldom breaks up until the winter IS
over. on account of the inclosed nature
of that body OF water. Frequently as
many as two or three hun dreds OF these
huts can be counted on the surface OF
the bay and among the many coves that
mark its beautiful shores.

A Collection of Horns.

There is in house in San Antonio,
Texas, collection of antlers and horns
worth the while of any one interested in
such matters to. turn aside for moment
to see. The walls are completely GOV.
cred with heads, antlers and horns, some
600 sets in all. The great majority are
OF deer-mostly of Virginia deer-but
many OF the black. tail species. Among
them are many abnormal formations and
freaks. Ore set has forty-two prongs, and
there are many of far more than the or.
dinary number.
There are three pairs of locked antlers,
having been found in that condition.
There we're heads and horns of OK, ram,
Rocky Mountain sheep, Rocky Mountain
goat, antelope, moose, caribou, cash.
mere goat, ibex, bison and common
goat, chamoise and African antelope Of
one or two kinds. There was domestic
ram with four horns, another with five,
a cashmere goat with four, steer with
long horns, one pointed straight back at
right angles to the other, set of moose
antlers with twenty prongs, two OF
caribou each with twenty-seven prongs,
but finest of all, to my mind, the head OF
a Texas steer with finely polished, SYM
metrical horns, running out in a slight
spiral and extending seven feet one inch
from tip to tip. The collection had cost
a great deal, and was naturally valued
highly.-Forest and Stream.

front walk.

The engineer is the next important Of
fcer below stairs. He hires his own
helpers. He also superiutends coal
yard of large dimensions. He keeps
such fires to warm the house and keep
the engines going as would do good SER
vice in crematory.
The laundress is an important person
and by no means deserves to be alluded
to at this late period. She hires her
own washers and ironers and manglers.
She keeps the linen closet filled. The
towel which you carry away by mistake
in your satchel she misses at once. Every
piece which goes out of the linen closet
is numbered, and you arc known to be
the thief. The washing is done by
steam, and the drying room is furnace
heated apartment which also heats the
fatirons to iron the linen that comes
from hundreds and hundreds of rooms
daily.
In addition to these departments there
is also carpentering and upholstring
department, each managed by a skilled
artisan.
There is head porter and head hall
boy and head waiter. The head hall
boy is as great king in his department
rs any other king of higher depart
ment. The head water regards himself
as second to no person.
System lubricates the wheels and all
moves smoothly. When dinner is being
served there is no indication below stairs
of the vast amount of work being done
above.
When you give your order to the
waiter he finds Il warm plate on the
steam table, puts it en- a tray and carries
the order to the cook. He finds the
vegetables on a steam table in huge
pans. He brings all to you and you
question not from what mysterious place
they came. 1t is all very quiet, very
dccorous, and the method is hidden.
The most perfect system is that which is
most carefully concealed. He carries
away your dishes, and in trice he is
back. He leaves them on a table and
they are instantly removed by omnibuses.

provides in return for few of their stu
pid dollars, such comfort as only the
modern money king has any conception
of.
The only apparent business of the
Office staff is to answer questions and
write letters and do some bookkeeping
at odd times end be glad to see you when
you come. But things are seldom what
they seem. The Office staff is no e1cep-
ton to this rule. They have many things
on their hospitable minds which they
never speak of to you.
Next to the Office staff is the house.
keeper. You never see the housekeeper.
If you are discerning person you feel
her presence, however. She has an as
sistant who looks after the chambermaids
and the scrub women and keeps an eye
on everything. The assistant is up and
dong at o'clock in the morning. The
fact that the work is. always done is apt
to give the impression that it stays done
or that some fairies whisk through the
place at night. But the fairy is very
substantial person with broom and
duster and with defiance in her eye,
as she persues specks OF dust and creates
order and thrift in every direction.
Next to the housekecper is the steward.
He Is the head of the lower region of the
hotel. He buys all the supplies and
gives out orders for the provision. He
carries the keys of the storerooms. The
contents Of the latter would feed stand
ing army for an indefinite length of time.
The storerooms may be lightly alluded
to as consisting Of a butcher shop, whose
stock is much larger than the one at
which you buy your family beef; gro
Gerry store, whose dimensions are by no
means inferior to any save perhaps
wholesale establishment; wine cellar as
cold and wide as necessary to keep pace
with the other departments, and an Ice
house which is filled every day.
Next to the steward is the chef. 1t
is unwise to classify the chef in this man
ner. He is in the habit of being spoken
of as superior to every one. The pro-
prietor takes off his hat to the chef.
This dignitary hires mis- own men. he
has assistant chefs. One cooks pastry
and one cooks meats and another bread.
In the kitchen, oD great range fifty
feet long, souus and vegetables and
meats are cooked. The broiler is large
enough to roast an OK without carving.
The soup Kettle ls a great vat Of boiling
liquid, and the sight of the quantity
would forever debar you from enjoying
the quality, however fine it might be.
The ovens Tor bread and pastry are great
dark caverns and the bread pans arc
taken out and otherwise manipulated by
huge long. handled wooden shovels large
enough to shovel the snow from your
front walk

Cheap Horses.

Adecently good horse cannot be bought
in the United States tor less than $75 or
800. In Queensland, Australia, how
ever, it is reported that sound, we'll
broken horse can be had for $5. Farm.
ers in the interior cannot afford to send
horses to market, as ordinary stock will
not bring more than $l.75 ahead, and
they shoot them instead, and what is
more, pay sixty-two cents piece to have
them disposed of. The colony OF Qpeens-
land is now seriously discussing the adj
visibility of passing a law imposing q tax.
on all stations and authorizing the ap-.
pointment of inspe :tors to see that all
unlicenged animals are killed. The same
state of affairs holds in some OF the other
Australian colonies. Horse-breeding q
Australia was for many years remnne
alive business. But the demand is
ceased, $14 a dozen Is big price to let
for ordinary stock: The colony is Yer
run with horses and thousands upon fhou-
sands of them have been shot merely to
get them out of the way. What TO do
with the horses is the question which is
agi.ating the property-holders Of Queens
land at the present time, as IS learned
from the recent bulletins Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture of that colony. Will
it nav Australians to ship these horses to
the United Statesf The passage to San
Francisco will take twenty days. The
Pacific Ocean at certain times is always
smooth. One of the Australian steam
ships will probably carry from 7O0 TO
1000 horses at trip. The import duty
on horses and mules at present is $50 per
head. It resolves itself into q question
of water carriage.-PIcayune.

To Study the Tides.

The meteorological service of Canada
is about to undertake study of the very
interesting tidal flow IN the Bay OF
Fundy, where the rise of a single tide
sometimes amounts to nearly sixty feet.
A tide gauge station is to be established
at st. John, where the average spring
tide is about twenty-seven feet. The
tide gauge is an automatic device that
registers the ebb and flow of every tide.
In the vicinity of Bristol, England, there
Is a tidal flow of thirty-one to thirty
eight feet, at Hankow, China, there is a
rise of thirty-eight to fifty feet, and IN
Some parts of South America the Use
and fall of the tide is as great as thirty
five to forty.five feet.-Tlmes-Democrat.

is no small affair. A brief consideration
of this fact alone will convince you that
the $40 day which you pay is very
little toward meeting the expenses of
the wheel work of the place.
In every department is the same un-
varying system. The salt and pepper
and glassware which you see on your
table are as carefully looked after when
off the table as the bottle of wine In the
cellar, and every piece of bread is num-
bered. In the kitchen every one works
steadily. No one hurries. There ls no
disorder, no clatter, no loud talking.
Every one has his own work, and plenty
of time and space allotted in which to
accomplish it.
But one wheel works upon another.
The chef would have no triumphs but
for the steward and the engineer, and in
countless ways are the revolutions of
Various wheels dependent upon each
other.
The free lunch which stands IN such
tempting array on the onyx buffet offers
no suggestion of the unseen hands which
made it and placed it there.
The luxuries which the modern hotel
offers are q feature of modern life. The
public is too familiar with it to even
wonder at the perfection. When we are
satisfactorily entertained within its doors
the intimation that below stairs is q
world of which we know nothing, of
whose workings we have no knowledge,
furnishes passing thought-that is all.

Home Life.

Look at our home life. We should
not forget that though they are ours
without price, the good things Of our
homes have not been without cost to
those to whose love we are indebted for
them. We have but to think OF the
love that sheltered our infancy and
guided our feet in tender years, and OF
the self.deniai and sacrifices, the tolls
and watchings, the care and anxiety, the
loss of rest, the broken nights, the
planning, the praying, the weeping, and
all the cost of love-for love always
costs-along the days of childhood and
youth. Then ofttimes much of the
good in our homes has come down from
the past, the fruit of the labor and suffer.
ing of line of ancestors. Thus every
comfort and joy and beauty should be
sacred as sacrament to us because it
has been gotten for US by hands Of love,
at cost of toll and saving and pinching
economy and self-denial.-Detroit Free

If these lines are followed the hide

The spearsmen usually select portions

not, as rule, venture into deep water,

The Care Of Hides.

+ Farmers kill more or less beeves fof
home use or to sell in their nearest town
or city as dressed beef. Beef is low and It
should be the aim of each one to get
out of each animal all that is in it. To
do this we must begin with the outside
the hide.
If q hide is taken of and properly
cared for it will often bring q fifth or
fourth as much as the dressed carcass.
