If .small, it was evident that the little fel low was amply prepared to d battle for life. "It's a tly, sure, t what is it g-oel for?" Next To the vedolin, it is, perhaps, ttie most valuable insect knowu in Cali fornia."' continued Mr. trow. "This liitle lly. for which we have yet no name, but which belong to the (. haJeid family, is the natural foo of what is known as the yellow or San IJabriel -ealo. Kach female w ill lay probiibly from fifty to" ne hundred efTjjs, and those- vcrs ilevclop larvie that feed upon the scale insect. The female is fur ni.shcd with a sharp stine Hike ovipo ter. This she thrusts under a scale in sect, ami deposits an x'gg, which hatches into a voracious little jrrub that, as soon as hatched, proceeds to consume its adopted parent. I'ndcr the skin of the wale iDscct it pusses through its mcta-iuorphoi-.es. wheu it eats its way out a fully developed lly. prepared to layer's for another irencration of yellow scale eaters." "It is utich a little speck. How lid you ever .discover it?" "The orange orchards in San (iahricl valley were badly covered with theycl low scale. The foliage, was sparse' and the fruit almost valueless. J So fore the fruit could be marketed the growers had to put it in lonif w ater troughs and scinb the .scale oil' with brooms, and then it was not clean. So destructive was the pest, in fact, that many orchard ists talked of jriviiiff up the business. Mr. CojfrsweH at Sierra Mudre had an orchard that was badly infested, and after awhile it lictfun to improve until the trees lie'caiuc clean s:nd the fruit ex cellent.

A romantic story was revealed in a Boston court the oilier day in a contest over the t.".O.OJu estuto of the late Sum uel Welch, whit lived in so many places that the probate judre doe'sn't know where to hn-ate hisleal residence. For years u tine-look ine- brick house on Ihn street, SomervilU-, has remained unten anted, its windows uii I doors heavily barred against entrance by anyone ex cept the ioss'ssor of tJlC Key, sorts vi n'-!t stories have been conjured up about thin hulls, . and cvcrylxxly. who lived in the neiLrhlorhool ;.,,. viucvd Unit !'..' lioitso was haunted. It iiad that reputation, anyway, and timid woincu and children always went a block out of their way to avoid passing it at ni'rht. The jhost stories vanLsheil in th" litrhtof to-day'sievelations. Th;it house was built by Mr. Welch yours ayo with the proceeds of a lottery prize which he had drawn, lie was cuajred tjbe married to an estimable young' woman, and tin- wedding day h:;d ln'i n ip;xiuted. When the intended bridi; leard that the foundation of his wealth .lad been laid through a lottery invest .nent she refused to marry him. Mr. Welch immediately barred uv the house, which had just been completed, and would never irive his consent to its le injf if.-enpietl. Ho then leil a roving Hfs in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, where he passed the greater part of his time. Mayor lpo. of Somcrville. was to-day api-':iitcd admiiiistrator of the estate, which he will distribute auiun-; a laryo number of heirs. A CAT"S WHISKERS. - They Seem Orn,i uti-nt.il. nut They Are IeeileJ.y 1'neful. Nature is an economical dame, anl never indulges in useless gifts. If bho gives an animal or plant an appendage of any kind, wo may bi a arc that it serves some wise purpose. ake a cat's whiskers, for instance, which may seem to you to lo merely ornamental. They are organs of touch, attached to a bed of line glands under the skin, and each of these lonf hairs Is connected with the nerves of tho lip. The slightest contact of these whiskers with any surrounding object is thus felt most distinctly by tho uimal, al though the hairs themselves arc insen sible. They stand out on one side of the lion as well as the common oat. From point to point they are etpual to the width of the animal's bxly. If wo imagine, therefore, a lion steal ing through a covert of wood in an im perfect light, we shall at once see the use of these long hairs. They indicate to him through the nicest feeling any obstacle which may present itself to the passage of his body; they prevent the rustling of boughs and loaves, which would give warning to his prey if he were to attempt to pass too close to a bush; and thus, in conjunction with the soft cushions of his feet and the fur upon which he treads the claws never coming into contact with the ground they enable him to move toward his victim with a stillness equal to that of a snake.

The one, in fact, which derds w ith the origin and devel opment of the bonnet, says a writer in the Itoston l'ost. I had pot as far as the head-dress worn by the Athenian matrons to the theater, and was natur ally much engrossed with the work, when an inward monitor, iu a still, small, but yet unmistakable voice sug gested "lunch." I looked at my watch it said three o'clock. Now, I always take luncheon at 1:S0, never. In Any emerpeney. later than two. Hut three o'clock! I felt ill and faint. I started for the club feeling like Kip Van Winkle, when be came home for his lunch twenty year late. I passed a friend; I tried to slink by without his noticLup, but I could see he looked upon me sadly and askance as if I V7i.e in some way a stricken wether of the flock. I went in and sat down. Somehow everybody else seemed to be late. I looked at the clock, it was ex actly 1:35. I looked at my watch apain. It still said three o'clock. It had stopped during the night. Now mark the result. I instantly recovered from the starvation from which I had been sufferinp, and bepan to converse in my usual cheerful and intelligent manner. Hut I did not mention the extraordinary behavior of my watch, which I now re veal only in strict confidence. liritixh Map.. British fondness for territory is Illus trated very praphieolly in a well-known pocket atlaa published by an . English llrm. Hriti&h possessions are all print ed in a brilliant shade of red, but the world is a lorpe place, and even the numerous colonies of the little isle fail to make as pre at a show as was desired, so Crant Laud, the pre at continent of rock and ice lyinp north of the arctic circle, and Graham Land, a similar tract south of the antarctic circle, were also printed in a rosy hue. These deso late wastes are undefined and unex plored, and of about as much use as the milky way. Certainly no nation will dispute llrittania's right to paint them red if she wants to.

A girl in the course of an essay on tho use of pictures in schools, said: "Sight isa gift of nature, for without sipht pictures would le of very little use." In the certificate examination a second year student wrote: "Constantinople was formerly not belonging to England, and was a dull place, as the Turks ponerally are, but since it has belonped to us it has brightened up, and is now the key of the i;laek sea."
