SCIENTIFIC. Plant Protrctfl by Insects. One of the uioi curious terms of delence known is afforded by a reoeeiitly dis-' covered class of plant, which, being mingle themselves, are protected by slinging ants, which make their home iu the plant and defend it against its enemies. Of these the nion remarkable is the bullVhorn acacia (descrilied by the late Mr. Belt in his book, "The Naturalist in Nicaragua"), a shrubby tree with gigantic curved thorns, from which iu name is derived. These horns are hollow and tenanted by ants, whioh bore a hoie in them, and the workers may be seen running about over tlie green leaves. If a branch is shaken, the ants swarm out of the thorn and attach the aggressor with their stings. Their chief service to the plant cousUts in delending it against leaf-cutting ants, which are the great enemy of all vegetation in that part of America. 1 he latter form large under ground nests, and their work of de struction consists lngalheiing leaves. which they strip to lorm heaps of ma terial, which become covered over with a delicate w hite fungus, on which the larv:e of the ants are fed, so that literally tliev are a colonv of inusli room growers. The special province of the little stinging ants, w inch live in the thorn of the acacia, is, therefore, to protect the leives of the shrub from being used by the leaf-cutters to make mushroom boils. C ertain varieties of the orange tree have leaves which are distasteful to the leaf-cutlers, this prop erty of the leave thus forming a means of defence. Other plants are unac countably spared by them grass, for example, wnn.li, il brought to the nest, is at once throw n out by some ant in authority. The bull's Lorn acacia, iu return tor the service rendered by the stinging auls, not only atlonls luxm shelter in its thorns, but provides them w ith nectar secreted by glands at the base of its leaves, and also grows for them small yellow pear-shaped bodies, about one-twellth of an inch in length, at the tin cf some of its leaflets, w inch thev use lor food. These little yellow bodies are made up of cells containing protoplasm rich iu oil, and afford the insects an excellent food. Wheu the ieaf unfolds, the ants uiav be seen run nihg from one leaflet to another, to see if these little yellow bodies are ripe; and if they are ready to be gathered they are broken up by the ants and carried awav to the nest iu the thorn. several small buds, also build their nests in the bull's-horn acacia, thus escaping from a predatory ant w hich is capable of killing young birds. The trumpet tree, another plant of South and Central America, is also protected by a standing army of ants, and, like the above-mentioned acacia, grows for its protectors smull food bodies contain' ing oil, but instead of secreting nectar in Us leaves it harbors a small insect :cocru) w hose sweet secretion is much relished bv the ants. Lr. IJeccari men tions an epiphytal plant growing on trees in liurneo, the seeds of which germinate, like those of the mistletoe, 0:1 the branch of the tree; and the seed ling stem, crowned by the cotyledons, grows to about an inch in length, re maining iu that condition until a cer tain species of ant bites a hole in the stein, which then produces a gall-like grow th that ultimately constitutes the home of the ants, If the plant is not fortunate enough to be bitten by an ant it dies. These ants, then, protect their plant home by rushing fiercely on intruders, and thus are preserved the sessile w hite liowers which, in this plant, are developed 011 the tuber-like txKly. It is i familar fact to inhabitants in Alpine districts that avalanches rarely fall while the sky remains covered whereas they fall rapidly and in great number?, especially in the mornings when the heavens are clear. On this account, the monks of the great St. Bernard do not leave the convent in the latter case. M. iMiloiir attributes this more frequent fall of avalanches to the lowering of temperature w hen the sky is clear, especially before sunrise. The small filaments of ice which retain the snow on the sides of the mountain then contract and break, and the snow btgius to slide, carrying down other portions below. It is known that very slight disturbances, the fight of a bird, a lew words in a deep voice, etc., suf fice to bring down avalanches. -4 successful hop-picking machine has been employed this season in the hop growing districts of Kngland that does the work of from thirty to forty expert pickers, it consists of two rubber rol lers, so constructed as to draw in the branches, while two steel rollers, hav ing an opposite action, pick the hop, from it. The machine is about the size of an ordinary clothes wringer, is pro pelled by means of a treadle, and runs as easily as a light sewing machine. Scientific Farts. A Belgian physician, appointed to reort on the prevalence of color blindness, attributes that dis ease to the excessive and general use of tobacco. A Brooklyn man has invent ed a portable electric lamp. A tray full of quick lime placed in damp clos ets, etc., will prevent mildew. The lime should be frequently renewed. From the debris of their coal mines France makes annually 700,000 tons of excellent fuel and Belgium 500,000 tons. A Chinese Restaurant In 'Frisco. The first floor of a Chinese restaurant is a plebeian floor, the second is a de gree better, the third is aristocratic. The floors are bare, but the furniture is really handsome. The chairs of black carved wood, straight seats and straight back, and in shape, quaintly Eastern. Between every two there is a little square table, about as big on the top as a quarto volume. The wood is black like the chairs, and the top is a slab of brown mottled marble. There are odd- looking lamps hanging from the ceil ings of the pagoda style, plants iu the windows, and pictures on the walls. Also here and there are hung a couple of their execrable musical instruments. When we were summoned to table we found it spread with a white cloth. There are about a half-dozen dishes of nuts and confections. There were pre served ginger, limes, cucumbers, plums. But even tlie fruit was Chin ese, and was long and queer to look at, like a pagoda trimming, and had a strange smack to it- flavor. But the tea oh, delight! the tea! There is a good story extant that it costs from twelve to eighteen dollars a pound, and we fancied that we Lusted the eighteen dollars iu every cup. They make It in little porcelain bowls, and cover it with an inverted cup to let ic steam. Each individual is given his own bowl, aud pours his tea into a cup, for they drink it in homeopathic sips. There is some knack in pouring it out, as people discover after they have scalded their hands badly. We sipped it with the most charming little porcelain spoons, w hich held just enough to be satisfac tory. They drink it straight without milk or sugar, but we liked it so well that we kept the little China boy trot ting around with his copper kettle of hot water, tilling the bowls again and again. Xo one ever acknowledges how much of the tea they drink, and ua one ever sleeps soundly lor a week after ward. Chinatown is a queer place, ami to thoroughly enjoy the trip is only necessary to wear thick shoes on ac count of the underground damp, to have a choice cold in the head in order to avoid the smells, and to drink tea till the kettle is exhausted. AGRICULTURE. Leaks is the Bar.v. Here ami there may be seen stables and barns with broken windows, loose boa'ds, holes in the roofs, or doors and windows that gape open, and refuse to shut closely. Through these openings the cold air and rain will leak in, and the warm air will leak out. Such leaks as these fci-e disagreeable to see, and are uncom fortable to the occupants of the build ing. Through these leaks the farmer's profits disapiear very silently, it is true, but not the less steadily and con stantly. While his cattle stand and shiver in the cool, sharp nights, or steam under the penetrating rain storms or snow, with every shiver there disap pears a quantity of the fodder from the barn, as well as some of the milk from the cows, some fat from the steers and pigs, some wool from the sheep and some eggs from the poultry. The far mer looks and wonders. He complains that the cows are rough, that "there is no good In the feed," that the pigs do not fatten as fast as they should, that there are no eggs, and the hens are eat ing their heads off. Well, an animal cannot use up alii ti food iu keeping warm, and at the same time make milk, fat, wool or eggs. These are made from food, and from only the surplus of the food after the bodily wants and needs are supplied. In the polar regions, a man needs six pounds of fat meat, and the same of bread, for his daily meals, while an East Indian needs but a pound of rice for a days subsistence. When working in the northern woods in the depth of winter, with the thermometer far below zero for weeks at a time, the lumberman eats with relish huge lumps of clear fat pork, with his daily two pounds of bread and liberal messes of beau soup. Food of this kind would sicken a man were he to look at it in the harvest field. All this food goes to make up the waste of heat from the body during the excessive cold. It is precisely so in the barn, or in the pig pen. If these are kept so warm that water will never freeze in them, much less food is needed by the animals than if the air is far below a freezing tem perature. The Skcbet of a Good Horseman'. The great secret of the power of a suc cessful horseman lies chiefly in the perfect hands with which he guides his horse and skillfully controls his slightest movement, and it is often mar vellous how quickly a borse knows that he is in the hands of one whom he must obey, and how completely he falls under the control of one rider, while with another almost his fiist impulse is resistance, which frequently terminates in coufirmed vice. This is mainly caused by the too frequent use of spurs, while if a slight switch were used a horse vould never become fractious. The accomplishment of inducing ahorse to go quietly and pleasantly, by means of an easy, yet firm seat, cool judgment and a judicious use of light and steady hands, is, unfortunately, but too little valued, although forming one of the most desirable qualifications in the list of attributes necessary to form a per fect horseman. However, seat ana hands must be combined, in order to control a ticklish, fractious, bad-tem pered horse. Cool and quiet treatment and the avoidance of all motion, save the slightest movements of hand, wrist and heels, will work many advantages in convincing an obstinate ami frac tious horse that he is in the hands of a master. Tub golden millet must lie sown every spring alter the danger of irosi is ever, broadcast or in anus, in tne same manner as oats, three pecks toone bushel of seed to the acre. It Is a very rapid growing grass, acd matures in about ten weeks time. Its yield is enor mousoften as much as five tons of hay and one hundred bushels of seed to the acre. It takes much labor to save it, and a good force is necessary to fol low the machine when cutting as grain. It Is eagerly eaten by all stock, even hogs live and thrive on it, and it is a crop of which the farmer is sure to raise a fair yield every time he sows, one rain insuring a good crop. I have seen good hay from it when the season was too poor to make hay from anything else, and I am sure that when any far mer once gets into the seea ne win not want to get out. It will grow in almost any climate, having been successfully grown in some part of nearly every latitude from Maine to Florida, Lambs should be protected from cold storms, if older sheep have to rough it.

Playing the Brute, 'You have been playing the brute at a rapid rate," said his Honor, when Philip Bailev was charged. In the Jel- ferson Court with wife beating. "Can not you reconcile yourself to your wife?" "Mariar," said Fhilip, and he tried to look his sweetest, "Mariar, I didn't b'lieve you'd a done this. I didn't reckon as how you'd ever have fetched your husband wot loves you so Inter a court o' justice all for a little frolic o his'n. I didn't think that o yer, Ma riar dear." He pumped the water into his eyyfjby some hvdraulic process taat seem to distress him greatly and looked the embodiment of reproachful innocence. The woman hesitated, but his Honor said: "You are a nice fellow to call this a frolic, you are. Look at that woman's eyes. They're both blackened, and that's an ugly bruise on the side of her head. You are frolicsome with a ven geance when you get agoing." " 'Twas on'y sport, Jedge." Philip persisted. "Wan't that all, Mariar. love?" he' asked. The woman was silent. "Say yes, you wiper," he whispered affectionately. 'Perhaps he was only fuHnin',' said the hesitating creature. His Honor heard it all, but he only said : "You'll love your wife hereafter?" "Dewotedly; I'll dote on 'ur." "You'll not fall to punching and kicking her, all for fun?" "I'll use her as if she'd melt." "Xo more abuse of hard words?" "I'll be mum as an eister." "Philip Bailey !" "Judge!" "You're a consumate hypocrite. I heard what you said to your wife just now, and I'll see that you don't show her your devotion for a month, at least." Philip dropped the mask at once. "Mariar," he called out, "I'm pow erful gone on you; oh, yes! and I'm dewoted and all that, ole woman ; but I've got a pair of irs and hoofs that are tol'able on the kick, and when I get out I'll use 'em tor all they'er wuth." "Will you ?" said the Justice. "I'll see that they give you a atone cracker and make you use it for all it's worth. Just double the time." THE HOUSEHOLD. EKUISES, SPRAISS, FRACTCaES. Bruises may be produced on any part of the body are caused by the body's coming in contact, more or less forcibly, with some external body and are al ways found in the vicinity of the point of contact. Sprains most frequently occur at or near the ankle, knee or wrist joints, aud are generally caused by indirect force applied to the ex tremity of the limb injured. Fractures are more apt to be found a few inches from the ioinu. though they are often found near to or extend into the joints. Sometimes they are located at the site of injury (when the violence of the ac cident is great), though generally they are tound like sprains at home distance from the point of contact as when a person falling strikes his hand against the ground and fractures his arm near the elbow. The first thing to be done when any one or two of the above con ditions occur as the result of an acci dent, U to place the sufferer in as coin- sortable nosition as possible, where he I can have plenty of fresh air and perfect j quiet. It is of the utmost luijxirtance that all uuncessary persons snouiu oe kept out of sight, as not only do they vitiate the air, but by their presenee they increase the shock through which the'injuped one is passing. If faint the head should be placed as low as the rest of the body, and some cold water j sprinkled forcibly in the face. Stiinu- lants should not be given unless the shock is very severe, and then they I should be administered with care, as all stimulants' tend to increase the state of 1 reaction, which is sure to come on in a j iinri. utjtMii miiii'ii Mijiir. iinir-sa 1 im trolled. is apt to run into inflammation. Wheu a bone in the extremities is broken, a joint sprained or a tendon strained, it will generally give relief (aud can do no harm) to have the limb stretched as hard as possible by manual strength In the natural direction of the limb. Then place pieces of shingle, covered w ith soft material If possible, on either side of the limb and bind pretty snugly. This will specially give relief w hen it is necessary to re move the patient some distance. Should ths injured limb prove to be a lower extremity the other limb makes an ex cellent splint. If it is an arm place it in a sling, which gives great relief even when the injury is near the shoulder. Broken ribs are best splin tered by means of a broad band tightly pinned around the chest. Wheu you are sure that you have a sprain alone to deal with let the joint be placed as soon as possible in a pail of hot water, as hot as can be easily borne, and let hotter water be added from time to time, being careful not to scald the limb. When a fracture exists cold water should be applied ; and if great heat and swelling supervene ice may be added to the water, and the water be caused to trickle over the injured part.

"I didn't expect to for nothing, of course," he continued, feeliug iu his pocket. ''Here is twenty-five cents, young miss. 1 used to have to pay half a dollar for kissing 'em, but babies are down now, 'long with everything else." She looked around, took the money, told him to wipe off his mouth, and he gave the child a smack which sounded like a dishpan starting for down cellar An oid lady came around the corner as he straightened up, and iu response to the sLarp look she gave him the old man explained : "Been kissing the baby sweet's honey nicern ice-cream paid two shilling."

A Nihilist Trap. A few weeks ago" Serge LawrowskI, one of the ablest detectives attached to the Third Department, was sent from St. Petersburg to Poltava with instruc tions to get at the secrets of the Nihilis tic organization there established. Ar rived at Poltova, LawrowskI displayed great activity in guiding the researches of the local police, made many ac quaintances in different characters, be ing an expert in changing his appear ance and manner, and was hopeful of success in his mission, when his evil fortune prompted him to fall in love with the pretty daughter of a priest, named Ach r is toff. The girl, only sev enteen years of age, was affiliated to the associations, and bad been planted upon LawrowskI by order of the Pol tava Committeee, with the object of betraying htm into their bands. After fortnight's ardent courtship M'lle. AchristotT allowed herself to be pur- suaded to give her admirer a rendez vous by night in a garden just outside the town. When Ltwrowskl reached the tryating place he was surrounded and seized by live masked men, armed with revolvers and knives, who bound him to a tree and cut off bis nose and ears. Bleeding and unable to shout for assistance, as he had been gagged by his mutilators, he remained where they left him in an agODy of pain until early morning, when be was fouud senseless and all but dead from lost of blood. An open letter in his pocket contained the following ferocious an nouncement: "We cut off bis nose be cause he is a sleuth-hound, and his ears because he has proved himself to be an ass, in that be paid court to one of Us !" M'll. AchristotT has vanished from Pol tava, and all efforts of the police to track her to her hiding place have proved utterly ineffectual. Meanwhile, LawrowskI lies' In a hopeless condition ; and even should he rally from the ut ter exhaustion induced by the hemor rhage suffered during that terrible night, he will bear hideous witness on his disfigured countenance, as long as he may live, to the pitiless anger of the Poltava Committee.

A glass of vodki was brought to him, and the waiter noticed that N'ovikofTs hand shook as he lifted the liquor to his lips. Immediately afterwards he left the res taurant ; but, as he opened the door, a bullet struck him full In the breast, in flicting an injury which has since proved fatal.
