In a small, dark room, whose temper.
sture is never allowed to vary, which Is
never swept nor busted for fear of
arousing tranquil microbes, and whose
door is never opened except when abso-
lutely necessary, are arranged rows of
drying bottles, in which hang bits of
the marrow. These bottles are marked
with the degree of violence of the rabies
from which the animal died, and with
the date when the marrow was put in to
dry.
Here, attendants are preparing the
veal broth and the gelatines in which the
infected marrows will be cultivated.

Facts About Insects.

Female spiders are much larger and
more ferocious than the males and gener-
ally devour their husbands.
The gnat is provided with regular
set of lancets and cupping glass from
which the air can be withdrawn.
Several species Of moths never eat
after attaining perfect state. They
have no mouths and live but few hours.
The greatest destroyer Of the aphis is
tho apparently harmless lady bird, which
devours them by thousands.
The trichnm found in infected pork
arc sometimes so numerous that SO,OOO
have been found to the cubic inch.
Wasps are the most inveterate enemies
of flies. Reaumur says he has known one
wasp to kill thousand flies a day.
Two sexton beetles will bury mole
in an hour, a feat equivalent to two men
interring a whale in the same length OF
time.
Nests of the tcrmitc ants OF South
Africa are often twelve feet high and
grouped together in clusters, the tallest
in the center.
There are over 400, 900 varieties OF
insects known TO the entomologist though
not all described in the works on the
subject.
The common horseHy has l6, 900 eyes.
To the fly, therefore, caught by the
small boy, the latter appears like an
army of giants.
A female queen ant is always attended
by one or more servants to carry OF her
eggs. of which she lays from 5000 to
10, 900 year.
The young of the polype grow from
the body of the parent like buds, and
when almost grown are separated by a
sudden jerk.
The "tartar" on human teeth is filed
with animalculg. which are destroyed by
vinegar. Vinegar itself contains eel
like insects.
Civil engineers say that the wings OF
the butterfly display the greatest possible
lightness combined with the greatest pos
sible strength.
II human dwellings were constructed
on the same proportionate scale as tho
anthill of Africa, private residences
would be mile high.
Leuwenhoeck calculated that 900,
O0O, 900 of animalculG, such as are found
in drinking water, would not equal In
size grain Of sand.
II is estimated that the farmers Of the
United States lose 800, 600, 900 annually
from the depredations of various kinds
Of insects.

Swearing on the Beard.

In the good old days Of times past tho
beard was held TO be sacred-or Mt least,
to be an object Of veneration, which
amounts TO about the same thing. In
France the "face hairs" have always
been objects of great importance. In
the days OF Clovis, beard worship was at
its height, and no man was considered a
perfect male human being unless pro-
vided with full suit OF whiskers.
After the battle Of Tolbiac, In which
Clovis armies routed those Of Alaric, an
embassy was sent TO the last named Cen
eral requesting him to come and touch
the coEqueror's board as sign OF
humility and submission. This humili-
ating request aroused the ire OF the fiery
Alaric, who refused TO even entertain the
suggestion for minute, and he seized
two Of the Ambassadors by their boards
and led them out OF the room. They
were forced to return to their monarch
and acknowledge the indignities TO
which The conquered (O Alaric had
forced them to submit, whoreupon
the monarch and the emissaries sworc
upon their boards TO be avenged. On
this account some historians refer to the
subsequent engagements Of the two
great generals as the "Battles OF the
Beard. ."-[St. Louis Republic.

HONEYMOON ON BICYCLES.

A Philadelphia pair are planning a
wedding journey, says Cycling. Both are
enthusiastic bicycle riders, and so they
are going TO make tour on their wheels.
The trunk of the bride will be sent on
ahead for even though she is in search of
novelty her feminine desire to look nice
at hotels will not permit her to go away
without few bits of prettiness ready to
be donned when the days run is over.
Instead of appearing before the guests in
the time -honored going away gown, this
bride will come down stairs in a jaunty
bicycle costume of gray, with a wide
white sailor collar and white yachting
cap set on her curly hair. The groom,
in knickerbockers, will await her with
the trusty wheel, and the rice and old
shoes will have to be thrown very lively,
as they bowl away from the parental
mansion to the shades of the woods and
glens between there and the first stopping
place on their journey.

KENsINGToN GRAPE.

Among the wondrous variety Of pretty
afternoon toilets worn this season are
are those made of Kensington Grape"
with crinkled surface exactly like India
crepes, and of the most delicate and
beautiful tintings. These are manufac-
tured by armure-we weavers, and therefore
even the laundry can have no effect on
the " "crinkle" Of the goods. These are
simply cotton fabrics, but they are just
as effective and serviceable as the richer
crepons which this year, however, excel
in beauty of texture and coloring all
previous productions of the kind The
sheer and delicate veilings are also at
their best this summer, and appear in
lovely dyes of geranium pink, an exquis-

THE FAD FOR WHITE.

All white is fad that commends itself
to the artistic and beauty loving woman,
and never offends the eye or the taste, as
so many of the brighter tones are apt to
do. At Newport it was really astonish-
ing to see the number of white costumes
worn at every function. In the morning
at the Casino one sees white duck gowns
with white canvas shoes. For more
dressy affairs there are white muslins
and silks with white chip hats, trimmed
with nodding tips and white rosettes,
while the shoes in this instance are OF
white kid. Lace in profusion is en-
ployed on the light fabrics, yet the lace
must be of the best in order to win favor
from those who set the pace in the matter
of fashions. 1t is quite fad to trim a
dead white costume with coffee colored
lace, and the effect is far more pleasing
than the combination sounds in words. -

PEEPsY AND THE MOON.

Peepsy was little girl who was trying
to sing her little brother to sleep; but he
saw the moon in the sky as he lay in his
cradle, and cried for it. To get him to
go to sleep, Peepsy said she would get it
for him.
He soon fell asleep when she told him
this. Now she wondered how she could
keep her promise.
She saw the moon resting like great
ball on the hill opposite the cottage door
She thought she would get it before it
went up higher.
Her hat was on peg, too high for her
to reach without the aid of a chair, and
as that would take so much time she
went without any.
AS she trudged along the hillside she
heard the katydids and crickets singing
with all their might, and they seemed to
say; "Have courage, Pcepsy, and you
will reach the moon"
After awhile she met an owl, who said
to her, ITO who, child, who?" She an
swered, "My name is Peepsy. May |
please pass, as am going after the moon
for my little brother?"
Then other owls flew down when they
heard her voice, and began to laugh.
That frightened Peepsy so much that
she ran on, and pretty soon came to the
place where the moon was. How far it
was! She could not reach IL. She
called on the stars to give it a push and
send it down the hill. They only kept on
twinkling at her
Pretty soon a 5ig cradle-shaped piece
of the moon fell and rolled down the
hill right into the cottage door The
moon said, "Keep it to rock the baby
in every night, rs | have twelve new
moons every year"
Peepsy then woke up and found she
had not really been after the moon, bu,
dreamed all this.-[Child's Garden.

HOW A LOG BOOK IL KEPT.

arranged, and they look like so much
Greek to the unoducatod.
The letter b, for instance. stands for
the blue sky, whether there be clear
or hazy atmosphere, C, indicates cloudy
or detached opening clouds, d denotes
drizzling rain, a small ( fog, capital +
thick fog, 4, gloomy, dark weather; h
hail, | lightning, and IN misty or hazy
so as to interfere with the view.
The letter represents overcast or
when the whole sky is covered with one

are noted by the letter p, and q indi'
Gates the weather to be squally. Con
tinuous rain is indicated by an r, snow
by an $, and thunder by t. Any ugly
threatening appearance in the weather
calls for the letter u, and visibility or
distant objects, whether tho sky DO
cloudy, or not, is represented by the
letter v. a small W Is wet dew. A full
point or dot under any letter denotes an
extraordinary degree. As an example OF
how the letters are used take q p t..

O strong breeze, moderate gale, 9 strong
gale, 10 whole gale IL storm, IL hurri-

When he has taken out enough Of them
he has a cellar ready, and he uses the

THE FOX, THE BADGER AND RABBITS.


The fox noses the rabbits out at times
and scratches them out. As 10 the
badger, what could be more delicate for
his very accommodating appetite than
tender young rabbitsl They put flesh
on to his ribs after his fast-often long
and compulsory one in winter. So he
digs for them in most businesslike man
ner, Just like mole. He knows where
they are exactly-his nose tells him that
and in less than two minutes the fore
part of him is buried; all you will see
will be his hind legs working vigorously
and lot Of earth moving. But he gets
his rabbits; hungry stomachs are hard
to reason with. The badger is, know,
as rule, nocturnal in his habits. so is a
fox, but where the places that they fire.
quent are quiet and secluded they will at
times hunt by day for their food. A
vixen and her mate at times reverse the
order of things; like humans, woodland

stances.
