Voracity of Pickerel.
In the report of the Massachusetts In
land Fisheries, Dr. Sturtevant relates an
incident which illustrates the extraordi
nary voracity and rapid Krpth ot the
pickerel. The doctor placed two young
pickerel in a trough containing a quan
tity of minnows about an inch lo ng
The first day the pickerel ate 128 min
nows; the second day they ate 1IJ2: and
and the third day 130. a this diet, the
pickeicl increased in ei.2 at the rate of
one inch per day.
The Mole-Cricket.
Mr. Scudder has contributed to
Pxyche a pleasant paper 0:1 the chirp of
the mole cricket, in which he accom
plishes the clever feat of writing down
the notes of the insect on a musical stair.
The mole cricket ususlly begins to sing
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, al
though its notes are most lively at the
hour of twilight. On cloudy days it Is
heard a9 early as 2 or 3 o'clock. As it is
a burrowing insect, uuvir coming to the
purface to deliver itb music, the circum
stance of its being able to distinguish
between clear and cloudy weather is
very curious.
Spontaneous (Jew-ration.
In performing experiments to sustain
the theory of spontaneous generation,
Dr. I'astian and others have been con
tent to lioil matter in vessels carefully
protected from the air, assuming that all
living organisms contained therein were
destroyed by the action ot the heat pro
duced. When, in the lluid thus treated,
and preserved in a vacuum, organisms
were afterwards found to develop, the
fact was accepted as conclusive evi
dence that a spontaneous act ol creation
had occurred. Lately, however, some
tests have been tried by JVlr. Worthing
toti Smith, which tend to show that
experiments of the nature described
above are without significance. lie has
subjected spores inclosed in air tight
tubes to a boiling heat, and discovered
that their vitality was uninjured.
Treatment of Kce Mings.
A writer in the American Jurruil of
Microscopy gives the following directions
for the treatment of a bee sting, which
are worth remembering: ''Onions, am
monia, ashes, beef, and a hundred other
remedies, have been prescribed ; but we
never found them of any special value.
If the poison bag has not been emptied,
remove it with a charp knife, or, still
better, with a pair of tweesers so formed
us to grasp the sting itself, without press
ing on the bag. Common hair tweezers
are just the thing. Tiiis must, however,
be done very quickly, or it will be of
no use. Grasping the big and sting with
the lingers only squeezes the poison out
f the bag and into the wound. After
the bag has been removed, suck the
wound strongly, and apply a poultice
of moibt mud. We have never found
anything better."
Secretin? Organs or Serrated Leaves.
The last number of l'ringgfteiu.' Year
Hook contains a paper by Dr. G. Reinke,
of Gottingen, treating of the secreting
organs occurring on the serrations ot
certain foliage leaves. It has been
Known that these organs act as glands,
secretin;?, in many instances, a mucilagi
nous substance, and, in others, resin, or
h mixture of mucilage and resin, called
by Honstcin blastocolla. Keinke's ob
servations show that the serrations of
the leaves of Dicotyledinous plants gen
erally have peculiar organs of secretion,
whose otHce may cease when the loaf is
in the bud, or at a later period. The
horse-chestnut and plants with spiny
leaves seem to be destitute of such ap
pendages. The secretion itself is, ia
the bud, either a fluid mucilage or resin,
while, in the fall grown leaf, it is a wa
terv or viscous fluid.

A Cblaese Wise.
In alarm let the destructive Phyl
loxera shall sooner or later, so sap the
blood of the grape that the beverage
shall fail in the land, many attempts
are being made to provide ome substi
tute that may take its place. The Mar
quis de Villeneure calls attention to a
manufactured wine called T-icn-ia
which is much used in China. The
properties ot four plants native to the
c nintry enter into its composition. The
mode of preparation U partially des
cribed in Nature: "The plants are dried
and powdered, and made into a paste,
which Is sold in the form ot balls, or
squares, at the rate ot abuut ud a pound.
One square, or ball, will make several
pints of a fermented liquor, pleasant to
the taste, and much sought after by
Europeans and others living in China.
A factitious brandy is also prepared in
the same way; ami the manufacture so
simple that, with a capital of 3 or 10
to purchase the apparatus, a man may
make 25 gallons of 'brandy' a day.'
Best of all is the affirmation of the
Marquis de Villeneure, that the wine
thus produced is not only of excellent
quality, but it possesses no injurious
ingedients.
The Acacia.
The large and useful family of plants
called Leguminosecc hhve an extended
range, species being found in almost
every known partot the earth, save in the
islands of Triestan, d'Acugna, and St.
Helena, where there are none. A pecu
liarity of the family is the restricted
geographical limits within which many
of the genera arc confined. A large
number of those occurring in Australia,
for instance, are not met with elsewhere.
The Acacias, however, one of the most
interesting genera in the order, are
dispersed over widely separate regions,
appearing in the Old and the New
World, aud on the continents and the
islands of the sea. Their home is in
Augtralia: where no le?p than 2Q3, out of
a total of 450, species have thus far oeen
discovered. Whole forests, in this
island, are Irequently composed entire
ly of Acacias, which develop into large
timber trees or into dense underbrush.
On our own continent, sixty one differ
ent species have been found ; and here,
as in Australia, the number is being
continually increased by exploration.
The Acacia lutca, which occurs in Louisi
ana and .Florid , probably extends the
farthest northward of any species. The
.1. liichii, growing on the Island of For
mosa, stops a little south of this. Al
though New Ziland lies so near Aus
tralia, the original centre of the Acacias,
it is a curious fact that not a single
species has yet been found there. The
Acacias come close to the Uvbiuia (the
common locust tree) in general aspect,
having pinnate or bi-pinnate leaves; yet
their foliage is more delicate and airy,
and their feathery blossoms are peculi
arly elegint, and often very fragrant.
Many properties belong to the genus
which render it useful to mankind.
The Story of Kipsie's Rom.
When I irat opened the folds of my
soft, green covering, it was on a beauti
ful morning: the sky was clear, the sun
was just making his appearance from
behind a high hill, covered with fields
of green pasture, and fields of different
shades of green, which I afterwards
learned were fields of grain, and fields
of newly broken groun 1 with scarcely
a pescej-tible tinge of green. At the
foot of the hill mm mured a clear little
streaui,jn which I could see the many
swarms of little fishes which sported in
the crystal waters. You may wouder
how a rosebud could see so much. I
was planted on the banks of the little
brook. On looking at the bush which
supported me, I saw that I was but a
small one, and that I was its only bud,
on the top of ito highest twig, therefore
I had the pleasure of being well nour
ished, aud a healthy, perfect bud. The
most beautiful feature in the picture,
presented to my wondering ga?, was a
small, delicate child, who was looking
at me with much interest, her black eyes
sparkling, as she tossed back her raven
tresses, exclaiming, "My rose is opening!
Oh, what a beauty it will be I It will
now fully rep.u' me for all the time and
care I have bestowed on it. watering,
watching and striving with anything
that wished to bite or destroy it. Only
yesterday that naughty grasshopper
wanted to eat the moss oft' the bud, and
the day before I had to take that ugly
worm from the stem, that it would noi
bite it oil and take the life of my pretty
pet rose. Now I have cared for you so
long, my beauty, only a shcrt time
more and I will have a beautiful half
blown rose for all my watchful care. I
will then lake you to the poor little sick
child, who cannot go out of its room, lo
wander over the fair fields and see the
pretty flowers where they bloom.
As she was prattling to me in her un
selfish and innocent manner, a lady's
voicecalled, "i.ipsie," and my owner
ran quickly away. Two nights had
passcl since i.ipsie had visited me,
when early in the morning a lady came
and tenderly plucked me from the bush
and carried me into a room where all
was htill and dark except the light from
a small lamp. She went to a small, white
bed. upon which lay the still form of a
child. She placed me in the tiny hand
and then uncovered the face ol the
child, aid I saw that it was the face of
my little owner, Gipsie, more beautiful
than when living, quietly sleeping her
last sleep. She had nurtured me in my
youthful days, and her joyous, healthful
hours, now I could keep her company in
her narrow resting place, but when
death fades me 1 will not be so beauti
ful, but the thought is beautiful that we

As regards the four new peers whom
Mr. Disraeli has just made Mr. Gore,
3Ir. Stuart, Mr. Tollen ache, aud Sir
Robert Gerard it is to be remarked,
first of all, that they are all men of
great wealth, going up to as high as
i-SO.OOO ($400,000) a year. The story
is that Mr. Disraeli has intimated that
this isCthe principle which it is" to be ob
served in the future that no man shall
be made a peer who has uot at least
-JG,000 ajear. It is added that Mr.
Disraeli says he has not invented this
restriction, but that it is an idea of the
Queen, who insists upon it. None of
the four new peers have ever achieved
any kind of distinction ia arms, art,
literature, or politics. They are simply
country gentlemen ot ancient lineage
and of high social standing, with large
fortunes. That one of them is a Roman
Catholic is the most notable fact about
the" four. Sir Robert Gerard is the rank
ing Catholic Baronet, ot whom there are
forty-six. The Baronetcy was created
in 1611, and he is the thirteenth Baronet
of his name. He is 07 years old, and his
heir, who will be the future Lord Ger
ard, is his son, who was born in 1S51.
The Pomegranate ia California.
The pomegranate is oneot the most
profitable fruits grown in this valley
The trees bear fruit in three years from
the cuttings, and will grow on the most
ordinary toil without irrigation. The
pomegranate is a delicious fruit, and
possessing medicinal qualities of great
value. It will bear shipment better
than other fruit. It may be barreled
up and sent around the globe in good
order. The retail price of the pome
granate on the street is 10 cents apiece,

The WMhliigton Wlatr-Wlutr Suit
bine The Pedestrian The Apple.
Mr. John Burroughs, in his new book,
entitled "Winter Sunshine' opens his
first essay as follows:
"An American resident in England is
reported as saying that the English havr
an atmosphere but no climate. The re
verse of this remark would apply pretty
accurately taour own case. We certainly
have a climate, a two eded one, that
cuts both ways, threatening; us with sun
stroke on the one hand, and with frost
stroke on the other; but we have no at
aosphere to speak of in New York and
New England, except now and then dur
ing the dog days, or the fitful and un
certain Indian summer. An atmosphere,
the quality of tone and mellowness in
the near distance, is the product of a
more humid climate. Hence, as we go
south from New York, the atmospheric
effects become more rich and varied,
until, on reaching the Potomac, you find
un atmosphere as well as a climate. The
latter is still on the vehement American
scale, full of sharp and violent changes
and contrasts, baking and blistering in
summer, ami nipping aud blighting in
winter, but the spaces are not so purged
and bare; the horizon wall does not so
often have the appearance of having just
been washed and scrubbed down. There
ia more depth and visibility to the open
air, a stronger infusion of the Iudian
summer element throughout the
year, than is found farther north. The
days arc softer and more brooding, and
the nights more enchanting. It
seemed as if I had never seen but a sec
ond rate article of sunlight or moonlight
until I had taken up my abode in the
National Capital. It may be, perhaps,
because we have such splendid speci
mens of both at that period of the year
when one values such things highest
namely, in the fall and winter and early
spring. Sunlight is good any time: but
a bright, evenly tempered daj' is certain
ly more engrossing to the attention in
winter than in summer, and such days
seem the rule and not the exception in
the Washington winter. The deep snows
keep to the ncrth, the heavy rains to the
south, leaving a blue space central over
the border States. And there is not one
of the winter months but wears this blue
zone as a girdle."
On pedestrianism he writes as follows:
Oh, the weariness, the emptiness, the
plotting, the seeking rest and finding
none, that goes by in the carriages, while
your pedestrian is always cheerful, alert,
reireshed, with his heart in his hand free
to all ! He looks down upon nobody ; he
is on the common level. His pores are
all open, his circulation is active, his
digestion good. His heart is not cold,
nor his faculties asleep. He is the only
real traveler; he alone tastes the
fresh sentiment of the road."'
iy.
Afoot and in the open road, one
has a fair start iu life at last.
There is no hindrance now. Let
him put his best foot forward. He is
on the broadest human plane. This is
the level of all the great laws and heroic
deeds. From this platform he is eligible
to any good fortune. He was sighing for
the golden age; let him walk to it.
Every step brings him nearer. The
A"outh ot the world is but a few days'
journey distant. Indeed, I know persons
who think they have walked back to
that fresh aforetime of a single bright
Sflnday in autumn or spring. Before
noon they feel its airs upon their cheeks,
and by nightfall, on the banks of some
quiet stream, or along some path in the
wood, or on some hilltop, ater they have
hef.rd the voices and felt the wonder and
the mystery that so enchanted the earlyJ
races ot men.
The essay on
JJrtie Apple"' i a juicy
a:
rrant as the apple itself, aud
piaiseo of the gracious fruit
in a strain almost lyrical. Evciy
healthy and honest appetite, says Mr.
Burroughs, craves the apple: but the
boy is the true apple eater, and is not to
be questioned how he came by the fruit
with which his pockets are filled it
belongs to him, and he may steal it if it
cannot be had in any other way.
apple is indeed the lruit of youth
The
As
we grow old we crave apples less. It is
an ominou? sign. When you are
ashamed to be seen eating them on the
street; when you carry them in your
pocket, and your hand not constantly
find its wiy to them; when your neigh
bor has apples and you have none, and
you make no noctural visits to his orch
ard; when your lunch basket is without
them, and you can pass a winter's night
by the the fireside with no thought of
the fruit at your elbow, tuen be assured
you are no longer a loy, either in heart
or years.
The genuine apple-eater comforts
himself with an apple in their season as
others with a pipe or cigar. When he
has nothing else to do, or is bored, he
eats an apple. While he is waiting for
the train, he eats an apple, sometimes
several ot them. When lie takes a walk
be arms himself with them. His trav
eling bag is full of apples. He offers an
apple to his companion, and takes one
himself. They are his chief 6olace when
on the road. He sows the seeds all
along the route. He tosses the core
from the car window and from the top
of the stage coach. lie would, in time
make the land one vast orchard. He
dispenses with a knife. He prefers that
his teeth shall have the first taste. Then
he know;, the best flavor is immediately
beneath the ekin, and that in a pared
apple this is lost. If you will stew the
apple, be says, instead of baking it, by
all means leave the skin on. It improves
the color and vastly heightens the lUvor

Horseback riding seems natural to the
Hawiaians, and they dash along the
street and roads In troops and caval
cades, which fill the air with dust and
them with delight. The women all ride
a la man fashion, neatly tucking their
long, flowing robes beneath them, and
being as bold and expert in the saddle as
their male mates. They often ride without
shoes on their feet, and have spurs at
tached to their bare heels, which they i
use most vigorously on their animals.
One day in Hawaii a little woman rode ?
along iu our company with a five pointed
spur on her heel, which .-he seemed to
; thrust into the side ot her horse at every
tep he took, till my own eyes tired of .

it, unless he became '
tired of feelin''
feelingless by the time his side and her ,
heel were crimsoned with his blood. On '
market day, Saturday afternoon, there J
are often as many as oOO or 400 equestri
aus at the fish market, down beside the
bay, iu an old portion of the city. They
ride all kinds of old nags, aud come
from all parts of the country, ami make
that occasion a regular gala day. The
fair damsels generally dress in their
best bib aud tucker that day, put on hose
and shoes which their liberty loving feet
abhor and abominate at home, wear
white underskirts and hats wreathed
with flowers, or flying long red or blue
ribbons. Nearly all the men and
women wreath their hats and necks
with yellow flowers, and sometimes with
rose3, and a kind of berry. One after
noon, I saw a native woman, dressed iu
rich silk robes, wearing a costly hat and
kids, come to the market in a barouche,
and get out and push her way among
the crowd of her more common sisters.
The fish market is a scene of lively ex
citement after 4 o'clock, when the la
borers cease work and come in to swell
the crowd of animation The market h
a large open shed beside the water, and
contains numerous stalls for Ash and
meat, fresh and salted. All kiuds of
fruit also are for sale, and when 1 left
the middle of October there were
pienty of tine Icy mountain watermelons
in the market. The fish are of all kinds
peculiar to the waters about the islands,
the mullet being the finest. Some kind
of shrimps are brought from the moun
tains, done up in tara leaves. Several
thousand persons will crowd into the
markat In the space ot two or three
hours, and at the end ot that time leave
it bare and solitary. The belles and
Leaux may be seen amid all the excite
ment and business of the occasion carry
ing on desperate flirtations. Such is the
nature and frailty of man and woman.
