The Eyes of a Bee.

Every bee has two kinds of eyes
the two large compound ones, looking
like hemispheres on either side, and
the three simple ones which crown the
top of his head. Each compound eye
Is composed of $500 facets-that is to
say, an object is reflected $500 times
on it's surface. Every one of these
facets is the base of an inverted hex
agonal pyramid, whose apex is fitted to
the head Each pyramid may be term
ed an eye, for each has it's own iris and
optic nerve.
How these insects manage this mar
velous number of eyes is not yet
known. They are immovable, but mo-
bility is unnecessary because of the
range of vision afforded by the position
and the number of facets. They have
no lids, but are protected from dust
and injury by rows of hairs growing
along the lines at the functions of the
facets. The simple eyes are supposed
to have been given the bee to enable
it to see above it's head when intent
upon gathering honey from the cups Of
flowers. Probably this may be one
reason, but it is likely there are other
uses for them not yet ascertained.-

The Wearing of AmuIets.

Who wore the first amulet it would
be impossible to say, but the adoption
of a talisman to ward off evil is OF
very ancient origin.
Phylacteries, the Greek word for am.
ulets, were worn by the Israelites, tc
which allusion is made in the Scrip
lures. These phylacteries were mar
row strips of parchment on which
were written passages from the Old
Testament. A strip was placed in a
small leather box and bound to the
left elbow by narrow strap. There
was a smaller phylactery for the fore
head, the box for which was about an
inch square.
The word amulet is of Arabic origin
and implies thing suspended. ANU
lets were of various kinds. The MOON
stone, found in the desert of Arabia,
was worn as a talisman against en-
chantment by the women, who sus-
pended it around the neck. 1t was a
white, transparent stone, the time for
searching for it being midnight.

Mexican Etiuuetfe,

There are some points of Mexican
etiquette that to many foreigners ac-

street car or doorway first or which
shall be allowed to walk on the outside
of the sidewalk. AS a rule, however,
most foreigners who live for any length
of time in a Latin country come to en-
Joy the more cordial forms of greeting,
although frequently they do not realize
how thoroughly they have adopted
them in their own conduct until they
return for visit among their country

Effect of the SUN ON MOnum ents.

The perpendicularity of a monument
is visibly affected by the rays of the
sun. On every sunny day tall monu-
ment has a regular swing leading away
from the sun. This phenomenon is due
to the greater expansion Of the side on
which the rays of the sun fall. A pen
dulum placed inside, say. Nelson's col
umn, in Trafalgar square, would be
found to describe on every clear day
an ellipse of nearly half an inch in d.

GOOD EQUINE POINTS.
Things TO Be Considered in the Selection of
Horses

HORSES.
1t is difficult to find a perfect equine
animal, as some defect will exist in some
point of it's conformation to mar the per-
fection of its beauty and efficiency. In
conformation there should be just pro-
portion in all the several parts that each
physical function may be endowed with
the greatest possible utility A defect in
the proper adjustment of any of the ply
steal organs or articulation of any of the
anatomical parts, detracts from the use
fulness of the animal.
one common defect of horses is in the
feet, many draft animals having imper-
feet feet. The hoof is too fiat, the heels
100 wide and the shell too shallow. Black
hoofs are preferred to white, as the tex
ture the former is finer grained and
more Mastic. The white hoof is inclined
70 u little and easily cracks, even with
ordinafy usage. The walls of the hoof
should Dc of medium height and the foot
not too fiat, or else the animal is liable
10 lansness and navicular diseases. In
the roadster classes, the hoof is inclined
TO be TOO round and contracted at the
heels. Continuous stabling drys out the
feet and shrinks the frog, which in turn
narrows the hoofs at the quarters. Hor-
ses deprived of standing on the ground
should have natural moisture of the hoof
equalized by periodical packings to pre-
vent contraction. An old axiom mo
feet. no horse is true of all equine
breeds. The artificial life of equines fill
ing the wants of civilization should be
eaualized by providing proper stabling
and giving scientific attention TO the
feet.
The knees and hooks should be of good
size and free from excreseences. Small
knees and hooks are incapable of bear
ing the severe strain of hard service, and
they become dishgured with deformities
and blemishes A horse light at the knee
and hook is avoided by expert dealers

formation impairs the capabilty of the
