INSECTS ARE DRUNKARDS.
How They Extract Intoxicants From
blossoms.

Many plants and shrubs secrete poll
en- and nectar that are Intoxicating,
and the blossoms of such plants are
especially sought out by certain in
seets who seem to enjoy debauch on
the natural stimulants as much as
does a veritable human drunkard like
to carouse on the artificial rotations
OF mankind whose basis is alcohol.
The juices of certain of the compos-
ite are toxic. and are eagerly de-
youred by some beetles which seem
to have discovered this quality in the
plants. says the Scientific American
But the flower which probably sup
plies more insect drunkards than any
other is the cosmos. an autumn annual
blossom which blooms luxuriantly in
Kentucky from the middle of Septem-
Der to late in November, unless cut
down by severe frosts. This is beau
tiful flower both as to foliage and
blossoms. and is, comparatively speak
ing, quite hardy.
My attention, says a naturalist. was
first drawn to the intoxicating proper
ties of this annual one warm bright
day IN October, 1897. / was observing
the eagerness with which Il large
number of humble bees. small beetles
butterflies and an innumberable host
OF flies of many genera and species
were seeking the blossoms, when |
saw a humble bee suddenly fall to the
ground from an open flower and lie
supine. feebly moving its legs in an
aimless and purposeless manner
took it up. and after careful examina-
ton concluded that it had been at
tackled by some humble bee i'll that
was beyond my power of diagnosis
Soon, however. l saw another and an
other and another bee succumb to this
mysterious illness. These observa
tions led me to believe that there was
something toxic in the pollen, or nee
tar probably in both. for the beetles
could not easily get at the nectaries>,
and that these insects We're simply in
toxicated.

In 1897 had occasion to call attention
to my opening at corner of West and
Calvert streets, and expressed the opinion
of the necessity of first class wholesale
and retail Liquor Store in this locality
where the choicest liquors obtainable
could be purchased. for family and medi-
cinal use. | am pleased to state that my
expectations have been fully realized,
and the patronage accorded me by those
who appreciate my efforts in supplying
the best brands OF liquors at the lowest
prices encourages me to announce that my
prices remain the same as two years ago,
Notwithstanding the fact that the tax i'm
posed by the United States Government
increased the purchase price Of goods.
My goods are bought in bond. in large
quantities and my motto has and always
will be. the very best goods obtainable
at the lowest possible prices.
invite an inspection Of my stock, and
extend cordial invitation to all who may
desire TO purchase, choice. unadulterat-
ed goods have arranged for large
supply tor holiday trade and am prepar-
ed to serve all in quantities to SUIT.

by localapplicatlons, as they cannot reach

that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

famed YOU have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
