France, and although it is an ex-
pensive luxury, finds an ever increas-

vanilla plant, which has a strong aro-

simply dried, with out any application
of heat; and. to make the tea, a small
quantity Of them is placed in a closed
vessel filed with cold water. and
boiled for ten minutes As with or

Halfway to Gray's ranch, Fowler
met one Of the cowboys who told him
that Mr.. Gray was not at home.
Guessing at once that he was the vic.

1t was nearly midnight, and a dim
light burning in the post Office assured
him that something must be wrong.
Jumping from his horse, he flung the

the unexpected picture that met his

MARVELS OF INSTINCT.
Wonderful Adaptability OF Animals to
Their circumstances.

Ihtlr Nlfcuusllnces.
Did you ever stop to consider the mar
wells of instinct rs exhibited in insects.
birds and animals? Take the solitary
wasp, the ''mud-dauber," if You please.
as an Illustration of instructive sense
which seems to me TO be equally as de-
sirable as mind and reason. in provid-
ing for the maggot or worm that is to
be Matched from her egg, this lowly in
sect brings soft spiders and grubs.
species of food which she has never
tasted since she became wasp, and de-
posts them directly over the eggs from
which the children she is doomed to
never see will finally issue What in
ward sense OF motherly duty tells this
creature that her soon-to-be mOtherless
children will need a meatfoot during
the time they are preparing for their
first transformation? Yet the life his
tory of every species of insect shows
wonderful exhibitions of instinct or
marvellous foresight. The butterfly
lays her eggs on the plants best calcu-
lated to furnish food for the grub that
will hatch from them; the seventeen.
year locust, Cieada septemdecem. lays
its eggs in holes bored in the ends Of
limbs, the boring always, or nearly
always, being done in such manner as
to cause the limb to break off with the
first wind. thus bringing the insect
into immediate contact with the earth,
his future home. as soon as he is
Matched. TheyOung chicken is another
good Illustration of the marvels
Of instinct. In releasing himself
from the shell he does not do so by
bursting the prison walls asunder as
many persons imagine; on the contrary
he cuts his way out by regular series
of strokes. For this cutting operation
the bird has an instrument specially
provided, an instrument for which
there is no other earthly use-a sharp,
hard, toothlike horn on the top of the
upper mandible. This cutter, having
served its purpose, wholly disappears
within a few days. Isn't it wonderful
how a bird in an eggshell, one that has
never breathed the breath Of life in the
true sense Of the word, understands
the use Of an instrument that will soon
become useless TO it, and how that
marvellous faculty called instinct d.
reefs the imprisoned creature how and
where to cut in order to most easily
and effectually free itself?-St Louis

across the prairie.
He recognized in the leader Of the
plotters Dave Mowley, new settler Of
questionable character, who had a
small cabin ne ar those bluffs. By some
few persons he was secretly suspected
Of having some connection with an out
law gang Of Indian Territory; but he
had managed to keep up a semblance
OF responsibility by working part Of
his time for Gray, a wealthy stockman,
some twenty miles from Big Elm.
"Mowley has appeared in his true
character at last" Tom remarked, as
he hurried along toward Fowler's cabin.
"But I'll foil him"
Then he remembered his injured

he to do?

Two men, we're. earnestly engaged in

He was absdt to pass on when he

Is the keeper OF the Keys.
Once in the year It opens,
At the solemn midnight hour,
When the children sleep and the old clocks
keep
Awake in the tall church tower.
And then, as It swings on its hinges,
Whoever might peer inside
Would catch glimpse Of the centuries
That behind in the silence hide.
Egypt and Rome and Tyre
All in that mythical place
Where the old years rest that we're once pos
sessed
By the wonderful human race.
The shadowy door swings open,
And a pilgrim enters in,
Bowed with a tWelve-months struggle
In this world Of strife and sin.
Watt him farewell greeting!
He will pass no more this way
This weary year who must disappear
In the haven Of yesterday
The door still swingeth open,
And outward another comes,
With stir Of banners and bugles
And the beat OF friendly drums;
His hands are full Of beauty
The cluster the song, the sheaf,
The snOw-fakes wing, and the budding spring,
And the foam on the crested reef
This is the New Year, darlings,
Oh! haste TO give him cheer.
Only the Father knoweth So
The whole Of his errand here.
This is the New Year, darlings;
A year for work and play,
For doing our best, and for trusting the rest
To the Maker Of night and day.
