The German schoolmaster was (’Ini' tian Konrad Sprengcl, the son of a Brandenburger clergyman. After a first api*>intmeut in it Berlin school he wtis called (17Mb to the rectorship of the Great School mow Gymnasi um) at Spandau. where lie collected and worked up the material of his work, an astonishing task. whi* h even today excites the unqualified admiration of botanists. At that time the work brought Spivngel no honor. His love of flowers occupied so much of his time that. In* limited himself to only the most absolut-. ly necessary of his rectorial duties. He died in complete obscurity, April 7, 181(5, in his sixty-sixth year. Shortly before bis death he pub lished a short memoir entitled "The Utility of Bees, - ' and* the ’ Xeei ssiiy of Bee Culture From a New J’.iint of View,” in which he drew, more pre cisely, the distinction between wind fertilized and insect fertilized plants. He showed here experimentally the incapacity of insects to fertilize the flowers of currents, gooseberries, ap pies, violets and others. These flowers tire protected from the visits of insects by a small canopy of gauze. The labors of Sprengcl wen* prac tically disregarded. He expend no recognition, and be did not even retain a single copy of his work. Charles Darwin was the first to bring Sprengel's “remarkable book ' to light and do full justin' to the German schoolmaster. “He was ahead of his age,” wrote Darwin, “and his discoveries lay long neglect ed.”—Neber Land Und Meer. our country.

Some of the more particular husbands jiass over a dime or a quarter to their wives, but these prove the exception to the rule. How many times have we heard married women say, "I never carry any money when I go out with my husband?” One observing woman told me the wretched fashion of carrying porte- monnaies in the hand has given the glove industry one of its bigge>t booms. More gloves become soiled and worn from carrying the purse in the hands than from actual wear. I had talked with several women, and they tell me they do not like to carry purses in their hands, but there is no nelp for it as the pockets in the skirts are made now. These pockets are usually in the back of the skirt, fmd if the purses were carried in them pickpockets would be in clover. —Brooklyn Citizen. Oiiiuui In Honey.
