The timber beetles that inhabit
orange trees in Florida are nourished
in their youth with a peculiar kind of
food, to which the name of ''ambrosia"
has been given. All young students Of
Grcek know that ambrosia was the food
oil the NEUROLOGICAL gods on Olympus,
ANA IL may be inferred that naturalists
think the Florida beetles live like little
slN-ieggcd pagan deities. The insects
bore chambers and galleries in the
trunks OF the trees, and their young are
hatched in these galleries. Where the
pores of the wood intersect the passages
the sap collects in the form of little
white buttons and apparently under
goes a fermentation which changes il
iuto the so-called ambrosia, on which
the larvae feed. The buttons of am
brosia are ornamental as well as useful.
giving fine tessellated finish to the
galleries that are lined with them.
Sometimes the ambrosia collects so
abundantly that, on becoming Gov
cred with growth of minute fungus.
it completely chokes up the passages
and entrances of the galleries, turning
them into suffocating dungeons from
which the larvae are unable to escape.

DURABLE CARPET.
That In Which the Pattern Thoroughly
Covers the Groundwork

Covers the Groundwork.
The most durable carpet ever woven
was undoubtedly the old rag carpet
made of home-spun rags dyed with veg
etable dyes made from native barks and
roots. The hit and miss effect of these
carpets was often complete success,
and far prettier that the snowy tapes
try Brussels that succeeded. 1t was
also much more durable. 1t was not
necessary to shutout the sun from the
room carpeted with the rag carpet, be-
cause its colors were of honest dye and
did not fade in the light. This old-time
floor covering is nearly gone. There
are only few housekeepers in these
days, in spite of modern inventions and
labor-saving devices, who have time to
sew and dye rags for carpets, SO the
choice of even the old-time farmhouse
must fall upon irrhased article.
When a room is dull and dreary look
ing there is a temptation to buy
bright-colored carpet, but it is one that
ought to be resisted. Nothing pals
upon the taste so soon as carpet of
staring pattern, whose flowers rise
up to meet your footsteps over it. 1t
is always safe rule to choose a Garnet
of medium shade, decidedly darker than
the wall paper. A conventionalized
pattern wears much better than a re.
alistic pattern of flowers and leaves.
In order to be durable, let the pattern
cover the ground of carpet thoroughly.
a wool ingram carpet of the best duali-
ty is far better, more satisfactory
choice than cheap tapestry, which is
sold at the same price. The old-fash-
ioned three-ply carpet is no longer
made. The heavy ingram, which takes
its place, is more durable because it
remains i'll good condition as long as it
lasts, while the upper surface of the
three-ply wears off, leaving the carpet
shabby, though it be still whole. The
next choice to an ingram is a first quali-
ty American Brussels. Choose a carpet
of heavy surface, but one woven
through to the back. OF late wears
some manufacturers of tapestry have
dyed their carpets on the back so as
TO make the superficial observer believe
they are woven through, but such
shallow device should deceive no one.
II must be said that there has been a
marked improvement in the manufac-
ture OF velvet carpets in recent years,
SO that some Of these are almost as
durable as inferior Wiltons. The vel
vet carpet, it should be remembered
is a tapestry carpet, woven in heavy
frame, and the loops of the surface are
cut to produce the velvet surface. A
Wilton carpet is heavy Brussels, in
which the loops of the surface are cut
The moquette carpet has heavy plush
like surface, but it is not as durable
as Wilton OF velvet, though it is cheaper
than a Wilton.-N. Y. Tribune.

How Long Cut Flowers Last.

The thin stemmed roses are the most perishable of all flowers. To this class belong the Bridesmaid (pink), Mermet Every delicate pink). the Bride (white) and the Perle (yellow). Even with care they will seldom retain their beauty over the second day. The Cuisine (delicate pink and Mrs. Pierpont Morgan roses are more enduring and will often keep three and even four days. The Ameri- can Beauty will last three and four days, but after the second day changes color, the rich red assuming purplish hue.
 Violets will often retain an appear ance of freshness for four and five days, but after the second day all perfume is gone. Hyacinths and fresia look we'll for three or four days, and sometimes even longer, while mignonette and carnations can, with little care, be kept for al- most a week. Daffodils have even great CT staying powers and have been known to look fresh at the advanced age of eight and nine days.
 Gaslight and furnace heat are poison ous to flowers, and they should be kept as much as possible away from the lat ter. At night they should be put Ill cool (not freezing) place, with the stems in water and the tops we'll covered with wet tissue papper.-New York Journal

Absentminded.

It is said that the extempore playing of the great Beethoven was marvellous, but he was entirely without the coolness and self possession required by per former who wishes to render written compositions with accuracy and finish.
 The same fault was found with his conducting tha orchestra; even before his deafness he often confused the play CTS by his sudden gestures.
 At one time he was playing one of his own beautiful concertos for piano and orchestra. During long passage by the orchestra, while the piano was silent, be forgot his srosition and fancying him. self conductor for the moment he threw out his arms at certain chord, knock ing both the candles off the piano.
 They were picked up, but when the passage was repeated and the loud chord recurred he forgot himself again, and the accident happened for the second time.
 The audience, in spite of their great admiration and respect for the master musician, were .convulsed with merri- ment, which so disgusted Beethoven that several strings of the unoffending piano suffered the consequences of his irritation, which expended itself in a prodigious humping of the keys Youth s ComDaniOn.

He Wanted His Discharge.

In regiment in India private want ed to get home, and saw no other way than shamming deafness. He reported himself sick, and was sent to the hospi- tal The doctors tried all sorts of ways to find him out, but he was too sharp for them. One day the doctor deter mined to try him by firing a pistol off just behind him, but he got to hear cf the experiment, and of course was pre- pared for it.
 As he and his chum were sitting on their cots opposite each other smoking, the doctor stole into the room, unawares as he thought, and fired the pistol close to his ear. He, however, took no notice of the report, but on seeing the smoke he turned to his chum and said:
 ''Put your pipe out, you fool, the doctor will be round directly"
 His ruse worked. -Pearson's Weekly.
