Tile Eyes of a Bee. Every bee has two kinds of eyes the two large compound ones, looking ?ke hemispheres on either side, and "the three simple ones which crown the top of his head. Each compound eye > 3s composed of 3,500 facets-that is to say, an object is reflected 3,500 times _ on its 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 its own iris and lopric nerve. How these insects manage this mar? velous number of eyes is not yet ?known. They are immovable, but mo? rality is unnecessary because of the . range bf 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 galong the lines at the junctions of the facets. The simple eyes are supposed to h?ve been given the bee to enable 3t to see above its head when intent upon gathering honey from the cups of bowers. Probably this may be one reason, but it is likely there are other uses, for them not yet ascertained. Pearson's Weekly. TIxe Wearing" ot. Amulets. 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, to Which allusion is made in the< Scrip? tures. These phylacteries were nar? row strips of parchment on which 'were written passages from the Old { Testament. . A strip was placed in a ? small leather box -and rx>und to the left elbow by a narrow strap. There i- ; was a smaller phylactery for: the fore? head, the box for which was about an -.; indi square. The word amulet is of Arabic origin and implies a thing suspended. Amu r lets were of various kinds. The moon? stone, found in the desert of Arabia, was t worn as a talisman against en? chantment by the women, who sus pended it around the neck, lt was a . white, transparent stone, the time for searching for it being midnight. Various Styles of Hairdressing;. The various styles of hairdressing un? der Louis XVL were known as the cas : / . eade of St Cloud, tue windmill, the '.- \ - sheep and lambs, the hen and chickens,- i .the dog and hare, the peal of bells, the : milkmaid, the bbb wig. the bother, the ierehief, the oriental, the Circassian, /lifinerva's~,helmet; the -crescent, the ; A lenigma^ the desire to please, the turned . up calashj the ti'easurer of the age, the ; frivolous bather? the rat, the drunken ; "monkey and the lover's snare, the last named consisting of a mass of curls : -;.v covered with powder, particles of which, deposited on the coat or shoul? ders of a gentleman, indicated the 33revious whereabouts of the lady's iead. A Pleasant Prospect. A young man named Mooney, enlisted in the army. After he had been in In-; ' <?a for about five months he received a 7 jjathetic letter from his parents which "-. ^ said that if he did not send them some -: money they would be forced to go to '.-?v' lie workhouse. , ^ "The young man sat down and an* swered the letter as follows: '"Dear Father and Mother-Try to keep out of the workhouse for six ;years and seven months until I come nome, and then the three of us will go in together/'-London Tit-Bits. . ? ? \ ? ? - }r?K>.

Tae Giant's Orean. ^'One of the most interesting features ef the Giant's causeway is "the giant's organ." This huge 'Instrument" con? sists of a group of pillars of various ?engths set apart on the side of the main cliff. The larger columns being in tile center and the smaller ones taper? ing off on either side after Khe fashion of organ pipes admirably sustain the Idea which the name "giant's organ'' conveys.

Of this insect M. J. H. Fabre. a distin? guished French naturalist, made a thorough study. According to him. "ita long, pale green ..wings, like ample veils, its head upraised to heaven, its arms folded and crossed on its breast . give it ?i false resemblance to a nun in ecstatic devotion." A ferocious creature it is. ever bent on carnage, the workshops of various burrowing hymenoptera being its fa? vorite haunts, since there it is almost certain io find prey. "Posted on some bush near the bur? rows," Siays Mr. Fabre in his account of the insect "it "waits patiently until it sees ?some other insect probably a sphex. returning home. By a sudden rustle of its.half open wings it terrifies the approaching insect which hesitates for a momenfand then as suddenly as : a spring the toothed forearm folds back on an arm also toothed, and the insect is grasped between the blades of the double saw in the same manner as the jaws of a wolf trap close on an un? fortunate wolf at the instant when it is , seizing the bait Then, without unclos? ing the deadly machine, the mantis slowly eats its victim." In Provence this cruel insect is known as; "prego Dieou," which means .'pray to God." The Deaf Mute'* Story. "The most pathetic story I ever heard." said Senator Hoar once, "was1 told by Professor Gallaudet The pror fessor had a^ favorite pupil, a little deaf mute boy, exceptionally bright Mr. Gallaudet asked him if . he knew the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. - "With his nimble fingers the little fellow said ne did, and then he pro : ceeded to repeat it The noiseless ges? ticulations continued until the boy had /informed the professor of .the elder Washington's discovery of the mutilat? ed tree and of his quest for the muti? lator. " 'When George's father asked him who hacked bis favorite cherry tree,' signaled the voiceless child, 'George put his hatchet in his left hand - *'*Stop,' interrupted the professor. 'Where did you get your authority for saying he took the hatchet in his left hand? > fWhy/ responded the boy, 'he needed his right hand to tell his father that he cut the tree.' " , Tims and Venom. The difference between venom and a Tirus is very marked. Both are poi? sons and both of organic origin, but a venom is produced in secreting organs, commonly called poison glands, and is introduced into the system by means especially adapted for the purpose, such as stings or fangs. On the other hand, a virus is the result of disease or. putrefaction and generally possesses the property of exciting in the system into which it is introduced the disease which produced the virus. A virus commonly produces little if any local disturbance. A venom generally causes great pain, often severe inflammation ; and swelling. Venom has a marked lo? cal effect Virus causes a general dis? turbance of the system. An Odd Habit Among. Rooks. Among the odd habits of rooks is the " way that members of the same rookery* have, of intermarrying generation after g?n?ration. The males always choose their wives from among their near neighbors, and if one should be sb bold as to bring home to his rookery a bride from a distance the other rooks will in-* variably refuse tc receive her and will force the pair to build some way off. In the neighborhood of big rookeries outlying nests of this kind may always be found. .? / Fantastic Bottles. Glass in fabric is so beautiful that even grotesque designs cannot, entirely rob it of charm; hence the "fantasies in glass" come fitly into collections. Among foreign bottle curios are found Buddha bottles, dragons, sea horses, . ships, gondolas, fountains, violins, whales and Hon bottles: bottles with horizontal stories or perpendicular di? visions and glass jugs with horns or j whistles in the handless American cu? rio bottles show a wide but more prac tical range, expressing national jocos ! ity in such shapes as cigars, pistols, monuments, eggs, boxing gloves, bird? cages, canteens, lanterns, scallop shells, shoes, slippers, roller skates, barrels, castles, snails, birch bark logs, cones, pyramids, figures of Uncle Sam. Santa Claus and the like-Century. Criticising a Portrait. Walter Dean. Sr., once hired an artist to paint his portrait with the stipula? tion that the picture would not be ac .cepted and paid for unless it looked like himself. When the portrait was completed, it was sent to Mr. Dean, who did not recognize himself and ab? solutely refused to pay the painter. The painter sued, and Joe Strong- the artist, was called in to give au expert opinion. "You see the portrait of Mr. Dean?" the lawyer asked. ""No." said Mr. Strong. "I do not." "There it is." said the lawyer, point i ing to the big canvas. "I don't cai! that a portrait. 1 call that a map of Mr. Dean," said Mr. Strong. SomeihioK Like lt. "Does your son matriculate this year, Mrs. Eammondsine?" "Why. really, i don't know, i ain't beard anything about matriculation, but he wrote me in his last letter that he had got vaccinated, and it took ter- ? rible."-Chicago Record-Hera ld. Serene Scperiority. "Mr. Lcfribiow takes himself very se? riously." remarked Miss Cayenne. "In what way?" "He asked me if 1 thought I could Oe happy with him. As if bis presence could make the slightest difference ouc wiiy or anet ber I"-Exchange. A{re ?? t?ie Bras* ?nr.d. "As antiquities go nowadays." says Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's, "the brass band is a very ancient institution. That is to say, its inventor died in 1S04 at the a.q;e of eighty. There were horns before Adolphe Sax. to be sure, but not such horns as we have now. for they could not play every tune in every key. They could not even piay a scale in any key. The very Srst band entirely of brass was organized in ?S35. and I doubt if any of the instruments then used could be played upon by modern musicians without special practice. It is only back to 1783 when a full regi? mental band o? the British army con? sisted of two oboes, two clarinets, two horns ?nd two bassoons. It must have sounded even funnier than Tennyson's famous combination of 'flute, violin and bassoon.' "How long a way we have come since 17S3 may be learned from the ensemble of a first-class modern band. The modern band of forty-two pieces has half as many oboes and bassoons as the ancient band of eight pieces, sev? en times as-many clarinets and nine times as many horns, to say nothing of the saxaphones, which are part clarinet and part horn."
