THE FLY EATING PLANT.

One species 1t the drosea has its leaves
rounded, while the other has thcla elOn-
gated. but both alike have them reddish
in cofer and covered with SAort hairs or
fiiaments. 1t the end Of each Of these
hairs there Is III enlarged gland which

reality a sweet. sticky substance, and if
the very smallest fy does but touch it

Tile nEIiner in whit the plant after
ward actually digests the bodies of the
flies it entraps is interesting in the ex-
tleIne.
Within a short time Of the capture of
a f'y-so excessively sensitive are the
glands-all the i.laments growing around
the one which has made the capture COM
mefce to bend inward. covering the
luckiess insect until it is securely within
the grasp of the relentless plant. Each
gland then pours ont upon the body a
digestive liquid. not altogether unlike
the gastric juice of animals. and in the
course Of Il day or two the fly is COM
pletely digested. the nutritive PARTS have
been wholly absorbed by the plant and
the filannents have bent back to their
original position. ready to make another
capture upon the first opportunity.
If, however. the substance caught by
the leaf is Of an indigestible mature,
such as a grain Of sand or a piece Of
stick blown by the winds on to the
glands. the leaf does not remain closed
more than a few hours. The number of
insects thus caught must be very great.
The plants themselves are very album
dant in most upland boys. Each plant
has five or six leaves. and as many lis
thirteen dead flies have been found on a
single leaf.
Curiously enough, Darwin. whose re-
searches into the subject We're of Il most
exhaustive and interesting nature, found
that the leaves on his plants were killed
when he gave them Il surfeit of cheese
and raw meat. The excessively seasi-
tive nature Of the glands almost sur
passes conception. Darwin found that
the absorption Of only the 1-s0,0 00. 000th
part Of i grain Of phosphate Of ammo
MIA or thercabout was sufficient to cause
the filanlcnt bearing tile gland to bend
toward the center of the leaf.-Good
Words.

4 Grand old Soldier.

SAS1~-l
 Marshal Canrobert, who was reported the other day to be seriously i'll, is, on the contrary, in good health, and bears his eighty five years as lightly as could be ex- pected. His hair has grown snowy white, but his eyes are as blue and brilliant as ever, and but for 8 little rheumatism he would have nothing to complain of. "You have come," he added, Ito learn my i'm preesiops on the past and the present. Alasi have not much to tell you. All l desire now is repose-s repose closed against all the noise and bother from with out, a repose in which can remain alone with my remembrsnces of former times. I have withdrawn from the world since the death of my devoted and tender wife, and live only in the past, which Is par ticularly dear to me. for feel that during my long career have done my duty sim ply and honestly. You talk of my youn- ger days. Alasi I never cease to think of them, and only wish they would come again to enable me to serve my country on the field of battle should war break out. which heaven forbid, for war is 6 terrible thing. But to hear the sound of cannon and not be able to take part in tho fire, what an excrucisting toTture" and the marshal, overcome by his feelings, rose from his seat and paced the room.
 After few minutes the fiery veteran calmed down and resumed the converss- tioR. "Whst, in reality, can tell youF he asked. 'I am not 6 learned man, l am not a writer; I am only man of war. l know of nothing but military expeditions, fields of battle and the shock of arms. From my youth was fond of the army.

THE SPIRIT OF 'sEvENTY-sIx.
 Grover Cleveland is big man, but he is not bigger than the Spirit of Seventy Six, as he and his advisers can easily discover by reading the daily papers. That Spirit is very thoroughly reused and is showing itself in hearty condemnation of the aston ishing Hawaiian policy, or whatever the performance is. It doesn't care anything about "the logic of the situation," and it doesn't look very closely at the part played by United States officers in the change which took the crown of Liliuokalani's head. It is against kings and queens on general principles, and 1t rejoices when one gets boosted, kicked or pulled of throne. And it is mortified when the power of this country Is used to reseat one on 8 throne and when the American Eagle is made to do duty as Groom of the Back Stairs.
 The President and his Secretary talk about "righting 8 wrong" They have found great difficulty in making the peo- pie of this country see that any wrong has been done. The people are not disposed to think that President Harrison didn't know what he was about in this matter, and they don't see why Mir. Blount is any more entitled to belief than ex-Minister Stevens and others who had full opportu- nifty to know what was done when the dark and dubious queen was deposed. And they do see that the scheme to set her up again has been carried on with very suspicious secrecy. They would like to know why the scheme was SO carefully concealed from congress and the people of this country and so openly revealed in Honolulu. They think that Boss Cleveland took entirely too much upon himself when he made the move without saying as much as by your leave to the CO., ordinate branches of the government. They don't see why it should be made at all. And they don't under stand how this government having recog- nized the new government at Honolulu can turn squarely around and upset it. and es- pecislly for the sake of queen like Liliu- okalani. They don't appreciate the ''di- vine right" as 1t seems to be sppre ciated at Washington.
 There Is no partisansnip in the present protest against President Cleveland, and there will be no peace until the people are satisfied that his action is different from what 1t now seems to be. They are not anxious to undo any "wrong" that freed the Hawaiians from the rule of such 8 queen as Liliuokalani, and they are anx ious that there shall be no undoing of the Spirit of 'Seventy-Six

TWO IMPORTED PESTS.

"Behold how great 6 matter 8 little fire kindleth." A few years ago Massachu- setts man carelessly or ignorantly imported @ gypsy moth from France into that State, and ever since then the people of Msssa- chusetts have been spending much time, money and energy in trying to prevent the gypsy moth from eating up all their vege- tstion. Massachusetts has spent at least $200, 900 in the effort, and has been asking congress for $100, ,OG0 to carry on the work.
 The Russian thistle has invaded the Da- kotas and caused $4,000,0O0 damages to the farmers of those new States. This so- called thistle is species of salt.wort, g near relative of the tumble weed. Seven teen years ago some seeds of 1t brought from Russia in package of fsxseed were sewn in the vicinity of Scotland, South Dakota. From there 1t has spread In all directions until 1t has covered 30,000 square miles in the two Dskotss, and has entered Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska. Where once it obtains 8 foothold it takes complete possession. The rigid, bulky plants often make plow- ing impossible. Trains have been stopped by it and prairie fires have been carried long distances by it. The secretary of sg- ricnlture has sent the assistant botanist of the department to investigate the damage done by 1t during the current year to the crops of the northwestern States. The people of these States are alarmed at the rapid advances of this foreign invader. They will ask congress to appropriate $2,- COG, ,000 to enable the department of sgri. culture to employ vigorous measures for the extinction of this pest. Unless this is done they fear 1t will take possession of all the arabic land west of the Mississippi all the way to the gulf.
 The gypsy moth and the Russian thistle will furnish good illustrations for preach CTS who want to show how sin will grow fl 1t once gets @ start.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

California's vintage this year will be about 1S,OO0, 900 gallons, some 5000, 900 gallons more than last years yield, and the quality will be good. It is expected that the vintage of the State will show de- crease during the next ten years, owing to the ravages of phylloxers, and to over planting. The low prices caused by over production tend also to place--a check on the industry.
 In Hungary next month there will be a radical change in the matter of railroad tickets. Under the new plan the govern ment will sell stamps and supply blank cards. The traveller will write on the card his name, starting point and destination, and then paste on enough stamps to make the fare, being guided by printed table of rates. The card with its stamps consti- tutes his ticket, and he has prepared 1t himself.
