Prof. Darwin said that If it had not been for insects we should never have had any more Imposing or attractive flowers than those of the elm, the hop Lord Avebury comand the nettle pares the work of the insect to that of the florist, lie considers that just as the florist has by selection produced the elegant blossoms of the garden, so the insects, by selecting the largest and brightest blossoms for fertilization, have produced the gay flowers of the field. Prof. Plateau, of C.hent, has carried out a series of remarkable experiments on the ways of insects visiting flowers, lie considers that they are guided by scent rather than by color, and in the connection he is at variance with certain British naturalists. Whatever may be the attraction in flowers to insects- as yet, it appears undefined it is certain that the latter visit freely all blossoms alike, between the making no distinction large, brighl colored ones and the less conspicuous blossoms like those of the currants, the lime, the planet ree, the nettle and the willow. - tween young and a dentist young woman pahis?" of tient asked Margery, as she leaned back in her porch chair.

"What has that to do with it?" retorted Margery, in her snippiest tone. Well, as long as you are the party of the second part, Margery, it has a great deal to do with it."

N'ow, be a sensible girl, if yon can, and tell me if he is handsome?" "Well," said Margery, with a wicked twinkle in her eye, "he is just about as handsome as you are." "Oh, very well," said Tom. "That is disposed of. My advice is that you have no social relations with him at all." "Oh h," laughed Margery. "You're too late with your ad'ce. "Why did you ask me, then?"

INTERESTING CONTEST. most curious contests ever before the public was conducted by many thousand persons under the offer of the Bostum Cereal Co., Ltd., of Hattle Creek, Mich., for prizes of 31 boxes of gold and 300 greenbacks to those making the most words out of the letters The contest was started In February, 1906, and it was arranged to have the prizes awarded on Apr. 30, 1906. When the public announcement appeared many persons began to form the words fiom these letters, some times the whole family being occupied evenings, a combination of amusement and education. After a while the lists began to come in to the Poslum Office and before long the volume grew until it required wagons to carry the mail. Many of the contestants were thoughtless enough to send their lists with insufficient postage and for a period it cost the Company from twenty-fivt to and sixty dollars a day to pay the unpaid postage. Young ladies, generally those who had graduated from the high school, were employed to examine these lists and count the correct words. Webster's Dictionary was the standard and each list was very carefully corrected except those which fell below 8000 for it soon became clear that nothing below that could win. Some of the lists required the work of a young lady for a solid week on each individual list. The work was done very carefully and accurately but the Company had no idea, at the time the offer was made, that the people would respond so generally and they were compelled to fill every available space in the offices with these young lady examiners, and notwithstanding they worked steadily, it was impossible to complete the examination until Sept. 20. over six mouths after the prizes should have been awarded. This delay caused a great many Inquiries and naturally created some dissatisfaction. It has been thought best to make this report In practically all of the newspapers In the United States and many of the magazines in order to make clear to the people the conditions of the contest. lists contained enormous Many numbers of words which, under the rules, had to be eliminated "I'egger" would count "IVggers" would not. Some lists contained over 511,000 words, the great majority of which were cut out. Tha largest list were checked over two and in some cases three times to insure accuracy. The $100.00 gold prize was won by L. D. Reese. 1127-- 1 5 th St., Denver, Colo with 0911 correct words. The highest $10.00 gold prize went to S. K. Kraser, Lincoln, Pa., with 99'Jt correct words.

MEASURING A Simple and Automatic Device for That Purpose. I have an instrument for measuring the length of bees' tongues which is a success, as it is comparatively accurate and takes but little time to use it. The idea is original with me, hut I do not know whether the principle has been used before or not, writes a correspondent of Gleanings in Bee Culture. I take a piece of wood, about six inches long, one Inch wide, inch thick at one end, and at the other end, and make a saw-ker- f through it, through the thin way of the block. The saw kerf is one- - sixteenth inch wide, very smooth. one-fift- two-fift- h WOMEN WHO CHARM Pos- HEUTH "Milner James was the most artistic safe breaker in the business." said "He is dead Lecocq the detective. now He opened in his time over 700 safes without tools or gunpowder solely by working out the combination with his delicate and patient fingers. " It took me a year.' he once said, 'to learn the trick of picking combinations. I studied all the locks there were and bad three safes of different makes to practice on. The ear Is the most important factor in my method and it must be held tight against the safe door on a line with the tumblers. When the knob of the lock is turned slowly and one of the tumblers reaches the notch corresponding to the first number of the combination the tumbler will fall with a little click. Care must be taken not to displace this tumbler. You keep on trying the knob back and forth gently till each of the tumblers drops. Then the door opens. Hardly one man In a thousand has an ear delicate enough for this work and to be a success at it you've got to give up tobacco and aicohoi.' " and extends the length of the block inch at each end. The except one-hal- f slot should be made with a small circular saw. Take a piece of window glass, six by one, and put the crowning side next the block, and tie it tightly with linen thread around the glass and block at each end past the slot in the block. But before tying on the glass measure very accurately the thickness of the block near the thin end, and make a mark across the block just where it is twenty-five-onhundredths inch thick, also make a mark across it near the thick end where it is hundredths inch thick; now divide the space between these marks into ten equal spaces, making marks across the block with the point of a knife. Number the marks with a lead pencil from 25 to 35, then tie the glass on over the marks and figures as described. Now put it in a vessel with some beeswax and set it on the stove and melt the wax, and let it soak into the wood 15 minutes or so. After you have drained the wax out of the groove, scrape the remaining wax out of it with a stick and it is ready for use. To use it, fill the groove with of honey; place it on the flight-boara hive whose bees' tongues you wish to measure (there should be but little or no honey coming in at the time). The bees will eat the honey out of the groove as far as they can reach, in half an hour or so. You can then take the instrument, and, by looking at the glass side, you can see how far the bees have licked the honey off the glass, and the mark at this point will indicate the length of the tongue in one hundredths of an inch. Of course, the bee's jaws will go into the groove some distance, I think about nine-onhundredths inch; but you can get the relative length of the tongues, which is good enough for practical purposes. e They Should Money-Makin- Be ON Woman's greatest gift is the power to inspire admiration, respect, and love. There is a beauty in health which is more attractive to men than mere regularity of feature.

"Ah!" she responded. "What is it? Who gave it to you?" "I made it up myself!" he asserted, bridling somewhat. "Indeed! What is it?" "Why are my clothes like the moon?" She hesitated a moment, and Dudekins began to look triumphant. "You may think," she said, slowly and Dudekins somehow felt the sand slipping from under him "it is be cause they have a man in them, and you have a perfect right to think as you please.

Attention is called by the Travelers' Gazette to recent acquisitions by the Louvre, notably of a life size bust in chalk, primitively colored, of the hermit king of the eighteenth dynasty, Akhoumalon, or Amenophis IV., one of the strangest figures in the long line of the Pharaohs. The bust is a remarkably fine specimen of the art of the period, and is well preserved. Besides this, there are four sepulchral urns in blue porcelain from the tomb of Rameses II. In these urns was found, besides funeral linen, certain organic matter, which is being chemically examined.

The farmer that looks upon poultry In the same light as he looks upon any other part of his farm equipment is in a good way to make money out of his birds, declares the Farmers' Review. It is unusual, however, to find a farmer that will not neglect his poultry in preference to anything else on the farm. The farm fowl can most easily make money for her owner, as it. does not require a large average production of eggs to net her owner at least one dollar profit durUnder existing prices ing the year. this will be done, if the average production is about 100 eggs, which is a low average on which to figure. Where the fowls are kept properly and properly weeded out, so that the old hens do not become the major portion of the flock, the average production of eggs can easily be made 125. These figures sound small, for many claim averages of from 150 to 200 per year per hen, but we do not believe The that these are fair averages. average for the farm flock is much lower than the average for carefully handled (locks, on which most of such figures are based. It is true, however, that If old birds are excluded it is common to get about 125 eggs per The extra 25 eggs per fowl are fowl. all profit. They do not count very much on one fowl, but on the entire flock they make a good showing, as the money they represent may be added to the profit figured on the 100 eggs.
