But Dickinson's mission was as un-
successful as that OF Willard, and the
patronage scheme turned out an utter
failure. No doubt there were Demo-
Gratis base enough to be influenced by
it, but the great body Of the party-in
the Fifty-second Congress at least
stood firmly to their principles. The
was reached when both Houses, by
decisive notes.-the Senate on Febru-
ary 6. and the House on February o.
refused to consider bills for repeal.

Newspaper gossip makes the extra
ordinary statement that the entire site
Of Babylon has been purchased by two
Jews. If this is true, the purchase has
been made for the purpose of excavation;
but we do not wholly credit it. But think
of the children of the captives by the
rivers of Babylon buying the whole of
the ancient capital OF the world.

Properly considered, a beehive is q
wonderful shop. and each individual
insect is curiosity. The inhabitants Of
hive are classed as drones, workers
and queens. The queen is the mother
of every insect in the hive unless she
has been installed instead Of queen
who had died and left the hive without
a mistress. The queen bee is the wonder
of the whole insect tribe as far as egg
laying is concerned, often depositing
4, 900 eggs day for days i'll succession
during the most productive season. The
chief wonder connected with the work
er bee is the admirable manner in which
his body is shaped and fitted with in
struments for honey gathering. These
natural instruments consist Of cups,
combs, brushes, knives, tunnels, scrap
ers, etc, each of which is worthy of a
week Of careful and painstaking study
under high grade microscope. -Chica-

FashIon In Calling Cards.

The Roman or block letter is becom-
ing more popular as the style Of engrav-
ing for visiting card plates, while the
fashionably thin card Of two sheet
quality is eminently proper. Cards for
both men and women are considerably
smaller, and the script engraving is
finer in consequence, following more
closely the English style than the Pari-
sian. which is large and with flourishes
The block or Roman letter plate is very
English, and with those affecting Lon
don styles it finds great favor The
price more than doubles that of script
engraving. Ladies use the block style
now on their cards for teas and recep-
tions, as it admits Of the necessary en-.
craving of days within smaller space
than the script and enables a smaller
card being used. Ladies' Home Jour

Tho Color of Flames.

You have often noticed the many
tinted bars and bands that rise in the
shape Of "forked tongues of flame"
from wood burning in the CRATE. 1t is
ten to one, however. that you never
have thought to figure on the cause OF
the variegated hues presented by flames.
To bring the matter quickly to the
point, we will say that the many colors
are the result Of combustion among the
different elements of the wood. The
light blue is from the hydrogen and the
white from the carbon, the violet is
from the manganese, the red from the
magnesia and the yellow from the soda,
which are constituent parts Of the wood.

REVIVAL OF ROMANCE.

The titled, tame fields, the bending orchard

The byre the barn, the thrashing floor, the
pillow
Too long have been our theme and our re-
frain.
Enough, my brothers, of this Doric strain.
Lift up your spirits and record u VOW
To gather laurel from the mountains brow
And bring the era of rich verse again.
Ye painters. paint great Nature at her height
Seas, forests, cliffs upreared in liquid air,
And touch with glamour all things rough

And ye who fiction weave for our delight,
Give us brave men and women good as fair
And shame our hollow Sadducean mood.

matter with Goldite CatrOn's 5000 ma
