SCIENCE AND THE SERVANT
Showing the Danger of Airing Lit
tie Learning.

tlC hedTnlHS'
Before marriage she was a school
teacher, and it took a good deal Of
masculine tact to wean her from the
idea of making a scientific career with
out the interference of a husband. But
now she presides over a happy little
home in Detroit, and is gradually be-
coming domesticated. Among the re-
cent possessions Of the family is a cow,
led to and from pasture by hired boy.
and milked by the servant girl. She
was skimming off some rich yellow
cream the other day when her mistress
appeared on the scene.

Gladstone and the ChI1d.

One day Mr.. Gladstone was in the
Mall. A little girl ran up to him,
called him. "Man, man." and told him
she had lost her ball. 1t had bounded
inside the railing, and she was unable
to reach it. Her nursery maid was
much scandalized by the child's con-
duct but the little one insisted that
the "maL" should recover it for her.
Mr.. Gladstone, always fond Of chill
dren, acuuiesced readily, and the
world might have seen the spectacle Of
the Liberal leader engaged in retriev-
ing a child's ball from behind the
railings with the aid of his umbrella.
When this was accomplished, the nur-
sery maid told the child to thank the
gentleman, but her charge preferred
her own title, and said, THANK you,
man." Mr.. Gladstone bowed as II 10
a princess, and went on his way.

SANDYSTON IN GENERAL.

Corn husking is nearly done but

complete the job until cold weather
drives them to it. Election day is
the limit usually set for finishing up,
but this year many will not reach it,
despite the recent fine weather for
husking.

Northern India and the island OF
BanQuerry can certainly CAIN to have
the most peculiar marriage rites of any
land. In northern India a COW and a
cali are invariably required at the
marriage. The animals are driven into
narrow running stream, the priests
and tie betrothed couple also stand
Ing In the water. The man and the
woman each catch hold OF the cows
tail. and the priest pours water out of
q glass vessel upon the Joined hands.
while all present repeat prayers. The
young people are then declared man
and wife. and the priest claims the COW
and calf as his fee. In the island of
BanQuerry the officiating priest takes
a sharp knife and with it makes a
small inc:Sion in the right leg Of the
bride and bridegroom: from each in
c.sicn he gathers few drops Of blood
and transfers them to the other ones
leg. The operation. together With Z
short religious forr ula. constitutes The
whole Of the marriage ceremony.

TREE GROWS HOARY,
Strange Eject of Caterpillars on .
Horse Chestnut Tree.

Strange Eject OF Caterplllars on q
Horse Chestnut Tree.
London Standard: Much interest has
been caused lately by the appearance
of horse chestnut tree in the Thier-
garten, Berlin. The numerous branches
round the lower part OF the trunk
have a pure white foliage such as is
seen on trees growing in dark Places.
where no chlorophyll can develop on
account of want of light. The same
whiteness Of the leaves is noticeable in.
a few CT the neighboring branches
through the crown to the top. The
singular appearance OF the tree has
been noticed regularly for some years.
This particular tree. it seems. had
been attracked by swarm Of cater
pillars and other creatures OF the same
species. and the foliage has already
been destroyed: but still masses of ca.
terpillars continued to crawl up and
down the trunk. and finally c,uns
there in clamps. To preserve the beau
tiful tree after other means had been
tried in vain a solution of acid was
used. and the ground all round was
watered with it, as well as the trunk
and the branches. which were specially
drenched. The treatment proved Sue,
cessful. The tree gradually recovered
ard stands in its full strength and
freshness. but has ever since shown
the already described whiteness in its
leaves, which presents a by no means
unpleasant contrast to the otherwise
lark green foliage.

One OF the leading jewelers. OF the
capital was somewhat taken atack the
other day by receiving from ths wife Of
q high official an order for half a dozen
gold nails with jewel in the head Of
each and a dozen small gold chains.
He inquired the uses to which the nails
were to be put, when his patron said:
"You see, I have a number Of very
valuable objects OF art, which, although
they are very expensive, are very small
and easily handled. AS the wife Of an
