nothing to depend on but the 10-cent collec-

to make and such freeWill offerings as came
to her in her route. BY the time she
reached the Sandwich Islands the first 500

teegraphed TO her, and so rapidly did the
money keep coming 10 her that she was
soon obliged to write to the women al home
to send her no more money, as she had more
than she could use. Several wealthy tenn

Metric system in Pharmacy.

A correspondent writes: In the new phar-

metric weights and measures will be adopted
throughout. to the entire exclusion of the
English weights and measures hitherto
used. 1t is considered by many that this
is but the thin edge of the wedge, and that
sooner or later the metric weights and meas
ures will be adopted for all purposes in the
United States. In all the States of South
America, this system and none other is In
use, and there is a growing feeling that an

Worms Made to Turn.

In reference TO a paragraph that has been
circulating among the daily papers descrio-
ing An electrical method for preventing
caterpillarS from crawling up trees, the
Electrical World says that the sug-
gestion is not so absurd as it Is
made to appear, but is based on quite
rational principles. Around the trunk of
the tree are placed two wires about one
quarter of an inch apart; one of copper
and the other of zine or even galvanized
iron. Underneath these is piece of blot
ting paper on cloth moistened with
salt water-a very important feature
thus forming galYanc cell. The
caterpillars in crawling up will connect the
two wires by their bodies and receive such
a shock that they will decide to turn back.
1t has, however, been suggested that the
caterpillars may in time become sufficiently
educated in electro-technics TO crawl over
the wires obliquely, so as to touch only one
at a time and thus avoid the danger.
