Jr. This affects Insects, and It appears that the cosmos flower Is specially potent as a source of drunkenness In bees and oth er uectnr loving creatures. A bee so drunk that It could scarcely get upon Its legs was taken to the laboratory and placed about two Inches from a cosmos blossom. It Immediately stag gered to the flower and began to stick the nectar and In a few moments tum bled over, a senseless and almost. Inert victim of nppetlte. Drunken beetles found under the blossoms prove that the pollen must have the same effect ns the nectaries. The experimenter swallowed a half teaspoonful of the pollen and In about 15 minutes experienced a feeling of ex hilaration. with acceleration of the pulse and warmth.

' The art of properly buttoning a coat -any coat—Is. do It the other way That is to say that nine out of every ten of us button our coats the wrong way. We commence with the topmost button when we should commence with the bottommost. The frailest portion of a coat. In re spect to shape retaining qualities—no matter bow well made—Is the region of collar and lapels. The swagger mer chant tailor always coutlcns bis cus tomer to “wear It buttoued a few (lays so that the collar may set properly." Then, this admitted. It follows that mgs nnd strains affecting this part of the garment tend to destroy Its sym metry. Drawing the coat together by the top button and buttonhole for the purpose of fastening exerts a pull all around the shoulders and neck region, which, by repetition.
