The Ample Blossom weeyiI.

The British Board of Agriculture is
endeavoring 10 arouse the apple grow
crs Of England to initiate their French
competitors and take combined action
against the apple blossom wecvil,
which has done incredible damage to
apple crops in recent years. The raw
ages of this minute insect arc often
enormously attributed tothe cast wind
or late frosts, and even when the true
nature of evil il recognized it is use
less for ono culiivator TO incur the
trouble and expense to remove it if
his neighbors allow it to increase and
multiply in security all around. One
weevil, it Is said, will lay twenty
eggs, placing one only in each bud of
an apple blossom, there to be Matched

The Wedding. Ring Finger.

There are facts connected with the
ring finger, remarks an obscrvant NOR
alist, which render il il. peculiar
manner an appropriate emblem of
matrimonial union. 1t is the only
finger where TWO principal nerves be-
long to two distinct trunks. The
thumb is supplied with ills principal
nerves from the radial nerve, as are
also the fore-tinger, the middle finger
and the thumb side of the third or
ring finger, while the ulnar nerve fur
nishes the little finger and the other
side of the third or ring finger, at the
extremity of which the two nerves are
joined in real union. 1t thus seems
as if it were intended by nature to be
the matrimonial finger. That the side
of the ring finger next to the little
finger is connected with the ulnarnerve
is frequently proved by common ac-
cident, that of striking the elbow
against any hard edge, when, if the
nerve is touched, a thrilling sensation
is felt in the little finger and on the
same side of the ring finger, but not
on the other side of it.-TNew Orleans

A Boy Colonist.

The colonial fever has seized all the
German nation SO thoroughly that
even schoolboys are infected with it.
John w .ker, a boy of twelve, was
seized with tho fever and ran away
from his home in the city of Bremen
in August last lie travelled on foot
southwestward, saw the cities along
the Rhine aud crossed the river going
westward to Paris. From there he
wandered south all the way through
France, crossed the vast mountain
range of The Pyrenees in the cold sea-
son, when the whole landscape is
covered with ice and deep snow, and
arrived in Barcelona in Spain toward
New Year. The cold in the noun
tains had caused him so much suffer-
ing that he was rather afraid with
his tatlered clothing that failed to
cover his nakedness, TO continue his
journey at random. He went to the
German consul and made close in
quires concerning tho best road 10
20 to CAMERON which is German
colony on the western coast of
Africa, north of the British possess
sions. The queer inquiry regard
ing a road for walking across
the desert of Sahara was too much for
the consul. lie examined the littlo
tramp and afterward pretended that
he would show him the read, and took
him to the steamer bound for Ham,
burg in Germany. lie gave him in
custody 10 the captain, who took him
back to the fatherland. Johns parents
had believed him dead and were over
ioycd to have him back. He said he
was sorry TO be compelled to go TO
school again, but as soon as he had
finished his studies lie would most
assuredly leave again for distant Cam
eroon.-[Chicago Herald.

HEAVEN in THE STARS.



The belief in metempsychosis Is
very curious among the Ansairee.
Ordinary Mussulmans, they say, pass
into jackals after death; and it Is
common saying among them, when
the jackals howl at night. Listen
to the Mussulmans calling to prayer"
Bad men after death have to stwalk
in low envelopes as their expression
goes, making use OF the Arabic word
''kameess for the envelope Of the
body, which exists among us IN the
word s'chemise. For what reason l
know not, Christian doctors are sup
posed to 60 into very low envelopes.

life is over. Jewish rabbits become
apes, and SO forth, writes traveller
The stars, they say, arc envelopes
Of light the destination OF the great
and good Ansairee who have distin-
gushed themselves in this life by
their charity and integrity; and there
are $4,000 OF them who form the
great light word, 7 or the inhabitants
Of the seventh heaven who surround
Ali, and are perpetually illuminated
by his presence.
Most Ansairee pretend to kn0wl-
edge of what they did in former
existence, whether as animals or
men; and at Tarsus it IS a common
theory amongst them chat the Frank
ish travellers, intent on archaeological
research, come to look for treasures
which they remember to have seen In
these spots during former existence.
A man, they say, who has not acted
rightly il this life may be punished
in the next existence by being born
woman, and woman who does her
duty in this life may be rewarded in

Womankind is considered by t.lem
sort of probationary step between the
animal world and the lords of ere
alton, and their women are treated
by them with great contempt and
never permitted to participate in the
sacred mysteries Of religion.
One of the most curious features of
the Ansairee faith is their belief in
the Trinity: Ali, the Father; Ma
homet, the Son, and SaIman cl Fari,
the Holy Ghost. Ali, the Father, be-
came man through his veil or repre-
sentative, Mahomet; and Mahomet
appointed Salman to superintend the
affairs of this world after his return
to his fathers kingdom. This mys-
terry of a Trinity is the second item
in the Ansairee religion, and is uni
versally believed in by all the four
scots: it is called ssthe mystery Of the
A. NJ. S. from the initial letters
of the three individuals Of their
Trinity.
An Ansairee-or a Nasari, as their
sect is more commonly called in the
North when taking an oath, will al
ways swear by his '9aith in the mys-
terry OF Ain, Min, SIM and one of
the most common forms of prayer
among them is to say the words
"Ain, Min, SIM" 500 times in sue

Instructive CriminaIity.

In paper ON instructive criminal.
ity, DR.. S. A. X. Strahan holds that
the criminal belongs to a decaying
race, and is only found in families
whose other members show signs of
degradation; in fact, it is only ono of
the many signs of family decay. Be-
sides being hereditary, criminality is
interchangeable with other degenerate
conditions, such as idiocy, epilepsy,
suicide, insanity. fcrofula, etc. and
it is chance whether the insanity or
drunkenness, say, Of the parent, will
appear as such in the child or be
transmitted in transmission TO one or
other of the alternate degenerate con-
ditions. The present system of treat
ment has proved disastrous failure;
short periods of punishment can have
no effect, either curative or deterrent.
Every thing points in the direction of
prolonged or indefinite confinement in
industrial penitentiarics. - Popular

most ancient written documents attest
that in times most remote only two
colors were known, black and red.

eye could perceive yellow, and still
longer limo before green could be dis
tinguished. 1t is remarkable that in
the most ancient languages tho term
used to designate yellow insensibly
passed TO the Specification of green:

generally received opinion, the color
