PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

Two steps above the floor of the main
rooms is broad landing, from which you
may descend to the kitchen pantry, thus
affording good substitute for Sack stair
way and direct communication with the
kitchen and front door without passing
through the principal rooms, a most de-
sirable arrangement for any dwelling, and
not usual or common in low cast houses.
From the pantry is the door to the cellar
stairs, which are placed directly under the
main stairs. There is also door opening
into the parlor for convenience in case Of
recentinn or when entertaining guests.

1t has been found by Dr. Riley that the
larvae of the bean and the pen wccvil when
Matched have thoracic feet and other struc-
lures which admirably serve their needs Of
Iocomotion until they enter the bean or pea
when with n cast of the skin they are dis
carded, and the grubs assume the ordinary
footiess shape of larval wcevils 1t has long
been known that the egg OF the pea weevil
is laid on the outside Of the pod, being fas-
tened thereto. While ordinarily entering
the pea directly from the amber colored
egg, it sometimes enters the pod in the
ncighborhood of the egg, and then mines
along the inside of the pod for some dis
lance being quite active and moving rap
idly and with ense.
As in the case of the bean weevil the
young pea weevil, DR.. Riley finds, molts
and loses its legs and other post embryonic
characters ns soon rs it has penetrated the
pea. We would add that here is "a clear
case of adaptation TO new needs induced by
new environment. Having no use for
legs, which have been retained until Just
after Matching, they are cast off And this
confirms our view that the great group of
wcevils are not the earliest and lowest of
beetles, as DIR. lie Conte supposed. but in
reality are late, highly modified forms
which have become recently degraded by
the loss Of parts well developed in ordinary
bectles.-New York Independent.

EIOutIence.


The proprietor of large building in

several flats" or living apartments, on
the upper floors, says that he never sue
ceeded in renting these apartments readi-

lrishwoman as janitress or agent for the
care and letting of them.
Several times the graceful "blarney"
OF this excellent woman has secured a
customer where less gifted agent would
probably have failed.

There need he little hesitation in s;lyiuu
that, for OLD persons, II day in bed" is Il
hcalthful measure of vast importance. If
the aged person is wise, he or she will make
it n regular practice to spend couple of
days per week in the rcpose which II soonln
in bed alone can give. Rest in n chair or on
sofa will not suffice. These procedures
arc too nearly akin to the everyday practice
to DO of any survice. Countless tempta-
