1 a E. Biitdlor, of Canton, Mass.,
■ trrit«s to the Journal of Education
I tome highly interesting /nets about the
I bee, obtained by long and patient per-
I sou'll observation. Following ire ex-
I tracts irom his letter: " Bees, large and
I small, never slight on the top ot the Iris,
I but always in the some place, between
I one ot the winged styles and one of the
I petals. I have watched hundreds of
I them. 1 have never Been on exception.
I Soon after alighting they force their
I bodies down os far as they possibly can
I into the very narrow space where the
jtftal and style are very close together,
brniHiig the pollen from the unthers
above them, and in this place they ex
tract the honey. I have seen them do
tby on the iris of tho garden and on the
lfit Vii j/inicAi and the Iris versicolor
ot t'ue meadows, and the process is tho
same, a bee alighting on one of the irida
in my hand.”
Mr. lliddler thinks that the office per
formed by tlie bee in making flowers
productive is to brush tho pollen from
t ne anthers and convey it on its body
directly into the ovary whieh it pierces.
He thus upsets a well-known popular
uncy :
•• There is one popular delusion about
la>o„aud ibut is that a • Ime-liue' is a
Mrui^nt i n,. Let the following obaerva-
t on l*o considered : The ti'i.ndreds oi
lvm in tie- meadows, seeking honey of
the iris, and going away laden with it,
go in h ser.es of delicately-curved lines,
and not in straight ones. In the woods
au l tie uli thuir course is just the same.
Silting ir reclining on a favorite knoll,
where l»ves are continually flying about,
1 Lave seen them, day after dny, at the
rate of six or eight every minute, make
a liUiui-er of circles, large and small,
around uiy head, and then fly off with
gieat rapidity, not in straight lines for
uui ,ous >d- ruble distance, mid this, too,
win re there v.-as plenty of room for them
to ily a great distance in straight lines
without «ny obstructions, but from side
to side, in a kind oi zigz..g motion or
curved lines.
“Again, passing along the street, there
is a great buzzing in the trees in-ar by.
It is a swarm of bees. They arc directly
overhead, aud I stop and watch them;
tin*re's millions in it. They, too, fly a
long distance within Bight, not in straight
lines,, hat in. curves—majestic curves.
Many o', them fly swiftly from one side
ul the swarm to the other, but always in
curves. I’crimps they are the ‘mounted
police.’ aud this may explain their
our re-lii e motion, but it does not ex-
plum W V the whole *wnrm moves thus.
•■Once inure : Near the lost day ol
the t rm a bee flies into tho school*
r,mi. During its flight eeross the room,
l*.maps tweuty-ttve or thirty feet, it
efiaiigm* its course/four or .live times,
almliis oil a window-pane, makes several
i n tt; ctmd attempts to climb the smooth
sin face, scents a rose on a neighboring
,lcs i,, ib on it in an instant (curves
again), is unceremoniously* thrust to the
11.sir by tbo young lady owning the rose,
and then in another instant mnkes o
bee-line (that is such a line—curvet
hen*, too—as a boo makes) for the open
window, and is off.
“From these observations, a bee-lin«
is not a mathematically straight one,
any more than Court street, or some o!
tlie old* r streets of Boston, ns tiioj
oiioiiia!v existed, were straight: any
more thau eow-paths ore straight, or th«
pain of a squirrel climbing a lice tc
uvonl I be stone which tho small boy it
pretty apt to throw at him."

Deadwood, writes a correspondent of
the Boston Journal, is a townaf 8,866
to 4,000 people. Enthusiasts claim 6,000.
.Search all New England for the deepest,
narrowest valleys between the highest
hills in the "Switzerland ot America,"
not exoepting the White mountain*, nor
the Franoonia Notch, stretch the ravine
two, three, five, ten miles, and you have
a conception of the lay of the laud about
Deadwood. Along the lowest line of
the ravine run the the combined waters
of the White water and Deadwood creeks,
Whitewater is t^ie last name one would
think of applying to the red stream of
thin mnd that comes down from the
quartz mills of Lend and Central, through
tho placer claims of hard-working men
who are seeking to “ wash ” thoir way to
wealth.
Main street, Deadwood, lacks few of
the kinds of business houses to be fonnd
in Minneapolis, for example, and has
many that even Chicago has not. Miners’
tools and materials make a distinct and
profitable branch ot business. Schools
os good os towns of that size olten sup
port, churches—Congregational, Metho
dist, Episcopal and Catholic—as well
organized, housed and manned us the
saintliest could ask. Houses as neat,
tasteful and refined ns cnlture con carry
to the front, invite the business man,
with his family, to settle for life. Such
is the intelligence of the place—so many
of the peoplo are educated and uceiis-
tomed to the best society furnishes
everywhere, that a second-rate pieaclu-r,
teacher or craftsman of any sort
would stand far less of a chance than
among the staid eommnnitiea ot good
old England. Didluess, stupidity,
tramps and quacks are advised to go
East.
Deadwood is tho hub of the hills.
Everything centers in there—radiates
from there. It is the distributing point
for Unde Sam, for the miners, for the
ranchers and the prospectors. Begin
ning with lower town, “Etkhom City,”
and passing through “ Elizabethtown ”
(the portion that was burned July 28)
and “Chinatown ” to Deadwood proper,
one would see roughness, vileness,
wretchedness. Such appendages hong
to overy town. Civilization sloughs
them as soon os the sooial machinery iti
fairly in motion. So it will la* here.
Deadwood is a marvel of growth, en
terprise and morality, when we con
sider its isolation and the material
that floats on the first waves of civiliza
tion. “
EDUCATION Ob' OIBL3., s , i
Many a good mother, *loqtongj,ilmck
over the long, road of the past, mid
gazing on her horny hands, resolves
that fier daughter shall have a bettor
time. The mother' to whom I refer is
no longer strong, and Miss Jenny is a
healthy young woman of 22. Yet the
mother does all the housewurk, iuclud.
ing tho sewing and mending for her
daughter. The latter makes tatting aud
edging for her nndcrelothiug, and plays
very fnirly on tho piano, which Iiob
been squeezed in somewhere, for the
family is anything but rich. The
mother goes without a new bonnet and
fixes her dress over aud over, in order
that Jenny may appear as well dressed
as the other girls of her set. When
company comes, Jenny entertains them,
and her mother goes on with li.r «o:*k
in the kitchen. She waits on tin* n. •*>■,
and, if any thing i» wanted dining lie
meal, Jenny never rises to get u ut
passes the empty dish to her lie a., i for
replenishment, and adjusts lier pretty
wristlets iu happy ignorance ot tho
thoughts of those looking on. Now
this is all wrong. This girl is not
naturally bad ; her mother is solely to
blame. I for one do not lielieve in the
plan of wearing out the oldest first.
Let the younger ones have a good time;
don’t be so strict as our ancestors were
with their families, but have somo re
spect for yourselves aiid for your own
rights, or your children will doubtless
have none for you.—Bural N’ u< Yorktn.
AK UKPHUPHETIO SOUL.
Dr. Franklin’s mother-in-law hesitated
nlsint permitting her daughter to marry
u printer, as there were already two
prin'iug ■ .Hiees iu the United States, and
_he mu- uncertain whether the country
eon :*l support a third. If we only knew
the present address of this prudent hut
mi prophetic soul it would be a great
pleasure to mail her a copy of the cen-
mis i.*|*>rt* for 1880 on the newspaper
