WHY THEY TWINKLE.

When Eve had led her lord away,
And Cain had killed his brother.
The stars and flowers. the poets say.
Agreed with one another
To cheat the cunning tempter's art.
And teach the race its duty,
BY keeping on its wicked heart
Taeir eyes Of light and beauty.
A million sleepless lids, they say,
win be at least q warning;
And so the flowers would watch by day.
The stars from eve to morning.
On hill and prairie, field and lawn,
Their dewy eyes upturning.
The flowers still watch from reddenins
dawn
Till western skies are burning.
Alasi each hour of daylight tells
A tale of shame so crushing
That some turn white as sea bleached shells,
And some are always blushing.
But when the patient stars look down
On all their light discovers
The traitors smile, the murderer's frown.
The lips of lying lovers
They try to shut their saddening eyes.
And in the vain endeavor
We see them twinkling in the skies,
And SO they wink forever.

WONDERFUL WORK OF BEEs.-Bces
must, in order to collect pound of
clover honey, deprive $4,000 clover
blossoms of their nectar To do this
$4,000 flowers must be visited by an
aggregate of 3,750,000 bees. Or, in
other words, to collect his pound of
honey one bee must make 3,750,000
trips from and to the hive. The enor-
nous amount Of work here involved
precludes the idea of any one bee liv-
ing long enough to gather more than a
fraction of a pound Of nectarine sweets.
As bees are known TO fly for miles in
quest of suitable fields for operations, it
is clear that q single ounce of honey
represents millions of miles of travel,
1t is no wonder that these industrious
little insects have earned the reputa-
ton Of being busy bees.

drive the angry pachyderm back to his

EUROPEAN CUsToMs.-Women are
not permitted to sit in the body of the
Temple church of London, because
many hundreds of years ago the seats
were reserved for the monkish knights,
for whom the church was erected. An
other story, Illustrating the tenacity of
custom in European communities, is
that of the sentinel at a certain point in
public garden in London. Nobody
knew why lie was stationed at that par
ticular point until some one, delving in
old records, discovered that generations
before sentinel had been placed there
to warn people off a newly-painted
bench. Even European birds seem tc-
nacious of precedent. Migratory birds
do not cross the Mediterranean at its
narrowest point, but an examination
has proved that the point at which
many do cross was at one time the mar
rowest part of the sea.

A TERRIBLE RIFLE.-The very latest
invention in the way of magazine small
arms, and one not yet submitted to the
U. S. army board, is the gun that has
just been put in test by the Italian au-
thorities. The rifle is four feet long
and Of the smallest calibre yet attempt
ed. .256-inch. The speed Of the bullet is
1850 feet per second, and as regards its
penetrative force it is said that the ball
will pierce two mattresses and two
planks five inches thick at distance of
nearly a mile. Loading is effected by
means of chargers containing five cart
ridges arranged so that repeating fire
may be obtained until the magazine is
exhausted. Many of the experts who
attended the trials are of the opinion
that the weapon is the most destructive
at present existing among European
armies.

that it shall not affect the legal tender
quality of the Treasury notes issued I'M
