CAUGHT ON THE FLY.

The women of Boston have found
champion in a New York man who has
recently visited their city. He acknOwl-
edged that they clothe themselves in most
sad-ftting and unbecoming raiment. In
Boston," he says, the Woman's bonnet,
if it be not of purely domestic design,
must have been planned on the English
side of the channel. The ordinary Bos-
ton head-gear for ladies is as unattrac-
tive as the bonnets of the Salvation army
lasses. And this bad style of dress eX-
tends through the whole outfit, and is
specially remarkable in gloves, boots,
cloaks and skirts. The skirts, by the
way, seem to be in imminent danger of
drapery there is always an incongruous
show of dropping petticoat." Still, he
thinks the women of Boston are very
well to see; in their faces they show
their high intelligence, and in conversa-
ton they betray an Unsuitable desire for
knowledge. Your Boston girl-or ma
iron, for that matter-can ask more Ques-
tons in a given time" he asserts, than
a crOSs-eXamining lawyer. This kind of
inQuiSitiOn, when the result of mere GU
riosity, is rather rude and disagreeable,
but the Boston woman appears to make
1t pleasant and fiattering. There is
suggestion, that you can teach her some
thing, and she receives what you say with
a manner which indicates that she has
waited long and earnestly for the OPP
portunity to explore your stores of in
formation and learning" This sort of
fattery ought to arouse in the man who
IS its objects the same pleasant sensa-
lions new kind of bug would expert
ence when under the Boston woman's
microscope.

CRIME AMONG ANIMALS.
Instances Where Bees Acquire a Taste
for Robbery and Violence.

for Robbery and Violence.
Almost every form and variety of hu-
man crime is to be found among animals,
says the Forum. Cases of theft are no
tced among bees. Buchner, in his
psychic Life of Animals" speaks of
thievish bees which, in order to save
themselves the trouble of working. attack
well-stocked hives in masses, kill the
sentinels and inha bitants. rob the hives
and carry off the provisions After
repeated enterprises of this description
they acquire a taste for robbery and vio-
lence; they recruit whole companies,
which get more and more numerous, and
finally they form regular colonies of
brigand bees.
But it is a still more curious fact that
these brigand bees can be produced arti-
fcially by giving working bees a mix
ture of honey and brandy to drink. The
bees soon acquire a taste for this bever-
age, which has the same disastrous effect
upon them as upon men; they become
ill-disposed and irritable. and lose all de-
sire to work, and finally, when they be-
gin to feel hungry. they attack and plum
der the well-supplied hives. There is
one variety of bees-the Sphecodes-
which lives exclusively upon plumber.
According to Marchall, this variety is
formed of individuals of the Halyetes
species, whose organs of notification
ally developed into separate variety,
living almost exclusively by plumber.
They may thus be said to be an exam
pie of innate and organic criminality
among insects, and they represent what
Prof. LombrOSO calls the born criminals
that is, individuals which are led to
crime by their own organic constitution.

Bosses Not Drinkers.

Our political bosses are not respected

Prince Bismarck continues to be in

with the timehonored May-day celebra-
been a legal church holiday, when pray

the "Hagelbittfeier.' and on that day
all farm labor is forbidden.
Prince Bismarck, for alleged economic
reasons, procured the issuance of de-
cree repeating the prohibition of farm
labor on the festival day, but the usual
services were held nevertheless. The

Aiming Against the United States.

One of the last acts of the Canadian
government, just prior to the adjourn
ment of Parliament, was the borrowing
of So, 000, 900 for the defense of Canada
OF this amount 81, S44, 600 was expended
upon contracts for 10000 Lee-Enfield
rifles and other arms of the modern
style. The most significant feature of
this transaction is the fact that it was
carried out without consulting Parlia-
ment, thus indicating urgency. The pur-
chases were made at the instigation of
the British war office and Gen. Wolseley
and perfected by a confidential officer
sent for that purpose.
The transaction in question shows that
the English government is resolved not
to be caught mapping. In spite of all
reports that the Venezuelan question has
passed the danger point, it argues that
that government does not so regard it
and is going to be ready for any possible
emergency. The obvious lesson of it all
is that this government should be ready
also. That it is not ready and that it is
doing little or nothing to get in readiness
goes without saying. The English gov
eminent has n formidable fleet of light
draft and powerfully-armed gunboats
Lakes at any time. We have no vessels
to meet them and no Notifications to
stop them. The cities on the Great
Lakes-Ere Buffalo, Cleveland. Detroit
Duluth. Milwaukee and ChIcago-WOuld
be at the absolute mercy of Great Brit
ain in case of war, and yet nothing has
been done to protect them. The contract
for rifles argues at least force of 49,
600 infantry armed with the best mod.
ern repeating rifles. We should be de.
pendent upon militia armed with inferior
weapons Is this the part of wisdom or
ordinary prudence!
The Venezuelan question may be ami
cably settled and again it may not be-
In any event, Great Britain proposes to
be in readiness for whatever turn the
settlement may take. If present condi-
tons remain and trouble grows out of
the Venezuelan question, Great Britain
will be prepared for it and we shall not
be. and as long as they remain as they
are Lord Salisbury will be in no hurry
to give his assent to any scheme of arbi-
tration. 1t is reckless, criminal folly for
this country to go deluding itself longer.
The swift and secret manner in which
the English government is strengthening
Canada proves that it is not going to
take any chances. Whatever may hap
pen it proposes to be in readiness Mean
while we are resting upon the pleasing
prospect that peace will not be broken.

Eugene as Naughty as Ever.

A man who rode on the same train
with the ex-Empress Eugene on her
way to pay a visit to the Princess Bea-
trice at Nice says that she shows no
trace of beauty, but that the imperious
will that brought on the Franco-Prussian
war is becoming more and more clearly
stamped on her face. Nevertheless she
was as nervous as possible over the diff
Guilty of stepping from her compartment
to the platform-a step that French cars
make something of a feat for any WON
an, and which Eugenie's rheumatism rem
dered alarming to her-to judge from the
way she called on the Lord in true
French fashion. She was walking, as
usual, with a cane. The special tie be-
tween her and the Princess Beatrice is
that the English princess and the prince
imperial were in love with each other,
and it was mainly to crush their incon-
venient young affections that the prince
was allowed to go to his death.

ARTIFICIAL FOGS.
They Are Used in California to Protect
Fruit Trees.

They Are Used in California to Protect
Fruit Trees.
The newest method of protecting
orange orchards against frosts, consists
in creating an artificial fog. which over
hangs the trees and keeps them from
harm. 1t is a fact familiar enough, that
there is no danger from frost on a
cloudy night; the clouds prevent the rapid
radiation of heat from the earth and
thus serve as a sort of blanket. A fog,
which is an earth cloud, serves the same
purpose.
The orange growers of California have
found out a way of making fogs by arti-
fee. The orchard provided with the fog
making device is underlaid by a system
of small pipes that carry water. Con
nected with these are perpendicular pipes
which rise to a height of forty feet in
the air. There are 100 of these perpen-
dicular pipes in every ten acres of trees
At the too of each tall pipe are a couple
of Cyclone nozzies,' which discharge
the water in fine spray in an upward
direction. All that is required is that
the water shall be turned on, and the
air is charged with tne, fog-like mist
The mist soon fills the air to a height OF
forty-five feet. and any breeze drifts il
about like a bank Of fog. Thus protect
ed. the trees can defy even a severe
frost, which under ordinary circum-
stances would destroy all expectation OF
a crop of the yellow and juicy fruit.
