about bees. I - r Thry Uo*t Un'irUnetrs and Bom I Th'» °* X* *** ** WrafuW £!«**. , 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."

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.
