They Fertilise Flower* For Strlrtly Ttlll tnrlnn Reasons. A correspondent writes: "The theory of tho origin of flowers hy the selocfioti of insects is one which has attracted much attention hotli in scientific cir oles and from the general public. Bet forth hy Itarwin in tho 'Origin of Bpe cies, ’ it has been largely developed in a series of interesting publications by Bir John Lubbock and Mr. Grunt Allen. Some fresh and interesting light has now been thrown on it by a series of experiments recently carried out hy Professor Plateau of the University of Ghent Professor Plateau lias arrived at the conclusion that insects are indiffer ent to the colors of tho flowers they visit, and that they are guided to them in a very subordinate way by sight. The experiments on which the Belgian professor bases his farreaching conclu sions are briefly these: Having covered the brightly colored flmvi rs of single dahlias in his garden witli bits of green leaf, he found that they were still visit ed by insects. This seemed so uiacii at variance with the generally received view that insects aro attracted to flow ers chiefly by their culor that Professor Pluteuu instituted a prolonged series of experiments and observations to pot the matter still further to tho proof. The result has been to confirm and strength en the conclusions drawn from the first experiments. Cutting off the brightly colored corollus of such flowers as lo belia, evening primrose, foxglove, etc., be found the romuluiug green parts were still visited. Again there are some brightly colored flowers which arc sel dom or never visited by insects owing to their luck of honey. Notable among these is the scarlet geruuium of oor gar den. But when a little honey was placed on geranium flowers bees outlie to them at once, those blossoms which had nut received honey being passed over. “Other conspicuous flowers were tried in a similar way with like results. The experiment of removing the honey bear ing parts of a flower and leuving the brightly colored part, which was sup posed to be attractive, was also tried with the single dahlia. Its inner florets were removed, leaving the conspicuous outer ones, a piece of yellow leaf being placed in the center. No insects went to these honoyless flowers. Hut as soon as a drop of nectar was placed on them they visited tbum as freely us before. Again, Professor Plateau made artificial flowers with pieces of green leaf, each furnished with a little honey. These were freely visited by insects. Hut arti ficial flowers made of colored material were neglected, even when supplied with honey. “In further support of his views Pro fessor Plateau is able to bring forwurd the following facts as to the habits of insects in visiting flowers: They will pass freely and with apparent indiffer ence from one oolor to another of va rieties of the same species growing to gether in our gardens; they visit a great number of green and greenish colored flowers; there are many small undin conspicuous flowers which are also free ly visited. Such is a brief outline of Professor Plateau’sobservationH and ex periments, from which he believes him self justified in drawing the conclusion that sight plays a very subordinate part in attracting insects to flowers. Their bearing on the theory of the insect origin of flowers is obvious.”—London Times. The Old Man Was Cored. “Talk about curing people of bad habits, one of the funniest cases I ever knew occurred on the south side some years ago, ’ ’ said Detective Thomas Mo Quaido. “There was an old fellow over there who would insist on fussing with his wife, who would invariably give him the worst of it Then he would run up stairs and hung out of the second story window, holding to the ledge, shouting like wildfire that he was going to drop and kill himself. Of course the wife would relent and set up a noise that would bring out the neighbors for blocks, and the man would be pulled in ilia window hv frimidu. “This got to becoming too frequently, and some of tbe boys who lived near, and who bad loosened several joints in their spines at different times pulling him in, decided to stop it. One fine day it came again. The old fellow bang out of tbe window, shooting that be would surely jump and end it all; tbe wife came rushing into the street in hysterics, and the neighbors ran as before to pull him up. The lirst man who got there bit the man's lingers with u stick, mak iug him loosen his hold, and, to tbe horror of all, he dropped to the hard pavement with a howl that was pitiful, lie was not badly hart, but It cured him of that bad habitPittsburg Dis patch. _ U>«u Wlltaelmtiia’s Oalta.

It Coat Him the Better Part of a Cigar to Learn Pollteneea. They boarded an on«t hound Market street oar at Forty first street. It was after 1 o'clock in the morning, and be wanted to smoko, having probably just dined or supped at a toil! which was be ing given iu the neighborhood. She didn't want to smoke and she didn’t want to be separated from him. “Come on inside the car," she plead ed. “No,” he answered. “I am going to smoke. Go inside yourself, and when 1 have finished my cigar I will join you.” But this didn't suit her. “If you stay out here to smoke,” she retorted. “I'll stay right with yon." He looked at her a moment, and then evidently concluded that she was bluff ing. Pulling ont u big nigur, be lighted it, and, settling himself comfortably against the dashboard of the oar, he be gan to pull away as if his life depended npon it. Nothing daunted, she took a place alongside of him and calmly fold ing her arms started np a lively con versation. The spectacle was an odd one, and at tracted the attention of every passenger in the car as well as of those who got on at varions corners. He tried to urge her inside the car a number of times, but she refused to go. In this fashion the two rodo aoross the bridge and half way to city hall before he weakened. The anticipated jeers of the peoplo he knew would be on Market street in the center of the oity were too much for him, and, throwing away the biggest end of his cigar, he sullenly said, "Well, if you won’t go inside without mo I suppose I’ll have to trot along." Then he took a seat away np in the front end, and she settled herself beside him. Meanwhile the whole our smiled audibly.—Philadelphia Inquirer. WHAT IT CO8T8 TO 8MOKE. A Library Which Materialised From Ta booed Fire Gent Cigar». ‘' How oau you afford all these books?'' asked a youug man, calling upon a friend. “1 can’t seem to find spare change for even tbe leading magazines. ” “Oh, that library is only my ‘one cigar a day,’ ” was tbe reply. “What do you mean, ” inquired the visitor. “Mean? Just this: When you advised me to indulge in an occasional cigar several years ago, I bad been reading about a youug fellow wbo bought books with money that others would have burned in cigars, and I thought I would try to do tho sume. You may remember that I said I should allow myself one cigar u day?” “Yes, I recall the conversation, but don’t quite see the connection.” “Well, I never smoked, but I put by the price of a 6 cent cigar every day, and as the money aooumulated 1 bought books—tbe very books you see.” “You don’t mean to say that your books cost no more than that! Why, there are dollars’ worth of them.” "Yes, I know there are. 1 had sis years more of my apprenticeship to serve when you advised me ‘to be s man. ’ 1 put by the money, which, at 6 cents a day, amounted to $18.96 a year, or $109.60 in six years. I keep those books by themselves as a result of my apprenticeship cigar money, and if you’d done as 1 did you would by this time have saved many, many more dol lars than I have and would have been better off in health and self respeot be sides. ”—Success. Tbe Alpine Good Night. Among the lofty mountains and ele vated valleys of Switzerland the Alpine born has another use besides that of sounding tbe farfamed “Bans des Vaches, ” or cow song, and this is of a very solemn and impressive nature. When the sun has set in the valley and the snowy summits of the moun tains gleam with golden light, the herds man wbo dwells UDon tbe highest hab liable spot takes his horn and pro nonnces dearly and loudly throngh it, as through a speaking trumpet, “Praise the Lord God. ” As soon as the eound is beard by the neighboring herdsmen they issue from their huts, take their Alpine horns and repeat the same words. This frequently lasts a quarter of an hour, and the oall resounds from all the mountains and rooky oliffs around. When silence again reigns, the herds men kneel and pray with unoovered heads. Meantime it has beoome quite dark. “Good night I’’ at last calls the highest herdsman through his horn. The words resound from all the moun tains, the horns of the herdsmen and the cliffs, and the mountaineers then re tire to their dwelling!.—Pittsburg Dis patch. Thrifty George Canon. Tbe Hon.
