Marvellous Instinct.


Is it not reason? Let Us examine the
marvellous instinct of the solitary
wasp in providing fer the worm
that will issue from her egg after her
own death. She brings grubs food
that, as a wasp, she reyer tastes-and
deposits them over the egg, ready for
the !arva she will never see. The life
history of every insect exhibits in
stincts of this perpleXing description.
Look at the instructive character of bees
in their far-sghted provisions for the
future. Witness the caterpillar, how at
the proper time it selects a suitable
situation and spins for itself silken
cocoon. Marvellous instincts are met
with outside of the insect world
every little bird is its own skilliul
accoucheur. We once observed the
selt-dcliycry of the chicken. The
10y struggles. BY a regular series
of strokes the shell is cut in two
Clipped round in a perfect circle some
distance from the large end. The bird
has a special instrument for the work
a hard, sharp horn on the top of the
upper mandible, which, being required
for no other purpose, disappears III
few days. Obviously, each individual
bird no more acquires the art of break
ing its way out than it furnishes itself
with the little pick-hammer used in the
operation; and it is quite clear that 4
blrtl could have never escaped from the
egg without this instinct. How were
cggeS h8tched before birds had acquired
the instinct To sit upon them? \ fowl
that never before willingly shared
crumb with companion will now starve
herself to feed her chickens, which she

That is the surest catch-word of the
three. ''Desiccated" Is pretty good,
though Nine out of every ten will in
etantIy say that the word means:
Chopped up in little bits. Smashed
up in small pieces In this word, as
in "reeking," the process of change
from the real meaning can be traced.
Anything very wet would reCk in frosty
weather, SO the Wctncss was assumed to

Use to which the adjective "dcsiccated'
Is applied is cocoanut prepared for use

it may be thoroughly dried, and
Thoroughly dried is the only proper
meaning.
"Iurid' is a word a little better

and he may answer correctly, but the
chances are that he will say red, fam
