Recent investigations have shown the
incorrectness of the pretty stories of
insect-eating plants which have so often
been given. Insects are often caught >y
the sticky exudations of certain plants,
or otherwise, but no evidence can he
found to show that the plants digest or
eat the insects and thrive by an abundance
of such food, as has been so often
asserted.

Not to Know the German.
Young man, you may own one of the
iinest dress suits, cut ala swallow-tail,
in the town; your head may he stored
with useful information, enabling you to
converse intelligently upon a given sub
ject; you may have learned to assume
forms of a “swell" politeness, which is a
cross between stable manners and idiocy;
but if you have uever mastered the
German, you stand amid the glitter and
glaro of society, even as the guest at the
Scriptural bridal, without tlio wedding
garment. Better for you, oh young
man, that you make for yourself a cravat
of mill stones and seek a watery grave.

Mrs. and Miss.
In former days single women, when
years,' mzrtUMl
married sisters the distinction of being
called Mrs. Thus we read of Mrs.
Elizabeth Carter and Mrs. Hannah
More, neither of whom had a husband.
Latterly, Mrs. and Miss have lost all
relation to age, and are used to express
respectively the mamed and spinster
states. This does not please some of the
advocates of women’s rights. Airs.
Elizabeth A. Kingsbury, of Portageville,
N. Y., writing in tho Woman!a Journal,
urges a return to the old custom. She
argues that as Master William or Charles
grows to the distinction of Mr., so
increasing years and dignity should en
title their female relatives to a corres
ponding change. “It is annoying to be
introduced,” she says, “to Mrs. Brown,
a silly, superficial creature, yet in her
teens, and the next moment to be pre
sented to Miss Williams, who at a glance
we perceive to be an intellectual, noble,
broad souled woman of thirty-five or
forty, worth more than a dozen like Mrs.
Brown.” She denounces tho existing
usage as degrading, and in reply to the
question of male objectors, “How shall
we know that a woman is married?” says:
“Inquire, if you wish to ascertain, as we
have to do respecting you.” This is
very well as far as it goes, but there
remains the fact that most women, es
pecially unmarried ones, are sensitive
regarding advancing years. Wo fear
that many of the latter, if compelled
when thirty to take the appellation of
Airs., would never confess to having
reached that age. A!*i. does
not see things in this light, and
solemnly warns all girls to out
of matrimony until they are twenty-five
at least. If ardent lovers wish to hasten
their nuptials, they must be silenced
with “I am twenty-one, but I do not
intend to marry till I am twenty-five.
The laws of my being would be disobeyed
by so doing, and I Bhall not marry even
then unless reason and judgment unite
with affection in approving my choice.”
We fear that Airs. Kingsbury will not
find many supporters, and that her
young sisters will decline the “strength
and independence” whioli she promises
them in the adoption of Mrs. as an ad
vertisement that they are no longer
chickena. —Cincinnati Gazette.
Reward for Lost fmperty.
One P. lost a diamond pin and pub
lished in a city paper the following no
tioe: “Lost, §25 reward—A diamond
pin. The finder will be paid the above
reward by leaving the same at this
office.” The pin was found by C., who
demanded the reward, which was re
fused. P. then demanded the return of
the pin, and, on being refused, brought
action in replevin for recovery. Held
that the finder, according to the com
mon law, beoomes the proprietor in ease
the true owner does not appear, and
meantime his right as finder is a perfect
right against all others. And ho is en
titled to recompense from the owner for
his care pd expense in its keeping and
preservation; but his status as finder
only does not give him a lien. Yet, if
such owner offers a reward to him who
will restore the property, a lien thereon
is thereby created to the extent of the
reward so offered. —Wood vs. Pieceou,

Something in tho Bed.
Judge Pitnam has a habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he goes
to bed. One night, somehow, it slipped
down, and as the judge was restless, it
worked its way down toward the foot
of the bed. After a bit, while he was
lying awake, his foot touched it; it felt
very cold; he was surprised, scared, and
jumping from the bed, lie said:
‘ ‘By gracious, Maria, there’s a toad or
something under the covers; I touched
it with my foot.”
Mrs. Pitnam gave a loud scream, and
was on the floor in an instant.
“ Now, don’t go to hollering and waken
up the neighbors,” said the Judge. “You
get me a broom or something, and we’ll
fix the thing mighty quick. ”
Airs. Pitnam got the broom and gave
it to the Judge with the remark that
she felt as if snakes were creeping up
and down her legs and back.
“Oli, nonsense, Maria! Now turn
down the covers slowly while I hold the
bioOm and bang it. Put a bucket of
water alongside the bed so we can shove
it in and drown it.”
Mrs. Pitnam fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The Judge
held the broom uplifted, and as the
black ribbon of the silver watch was re
vealed. he cracked away at it three or
four times with the broom, then he
pushed the thing off into the bucket.
Then they took the light to investigate
tho matter. When tho Judge saw what
it was ho said:
“ I might have known—it is just like
you women to go screeching and fussing
about nothing. It’s utterly ruined.”
“It was you that made the fuss, not
me,” said Airs. Pitman.
“You needn’t try to put the blame
on me,’’ then the Judge turned in and
growled at Maria until he fell asleep.
Very Gnibble.
Thirty years ago Air. Wm. Hall, of
New York, lent a “friend” named White
$30,000 worth of bouds and checks as a
security in a speculation, with the under
standing that they were on no account
to be converted into cash. The friend
immediately converted them into cash
and disappeared. Not long ago he went
to Hall’s house, and in spite of Hall’s
anger placated him by representing that
with the $30,000 which ho had appro
priated to his own use he had gone to
California, had mado a* large fortune
and had traveled across tho continent
for the express purpose of refunding the
money. Mr. Hall was charmed and
entertained Whito royally at his house,
for the i >ndpd to be sincerely sorry
and entertain'eT Jus" host with grnjjfllb
descriptions of California, and amazing
yarns about the way in which he had
made his princely fortune on the Pa
cific slope. Hall believed every word
he said, and agreed to lend him $6,000,
on White's turning over securities in “a
scaled envelope.” He had already paid
him $1,200, when Airs. Hall, rising at 5
iu the morning, carried the envelope to
the Chief of Police. On opening it, the
papers were found almost worthless, and
White was arrested. How a man cap
able of being gulled after this fashion
was also capable of accumulating $30,-
000, or 30,000 cents, is a mystery that
would puzzle even a phrenologist.
One day about a year ago, a medium
sized gentleman, with a sharp, intelli
gent eye, was standing about 8 o’clock
iu the evening, on the side of the Bowery.
A policeman came along. The gentleman
asked the officer what the crowd was
doing there, and the latter replied
gruilly:
“I don’t know. It’s none of your
business, anyhow. Move on.”
“I asked you a civil question,” said
the other, quietly.
“1 don’t give a retorted the
officer. “You move on.”
“I won’t,” persisted the man firmly.
“Well, I’ll take you in,” announced
the cop, and he did.
About a block from the station house
the two met the sergeant, who saluted
the arrested man politely, while the cop
looked on in astonishment. The ser
geant asked what the trouble was.
“Ho was disorderly and I arrested
him,” returned the officer averting his
face ns he spoke.
“You infernal fool!” exclaimed the
sergeant, “don’t you know who that
is ?”
“No,” said the officer, faintly.
“It's Commissioner Sid Nichols.”
Tho cop fainted dead away. The
joke was so rich that, after giving the
fellow a good scare, “Sid” let up. But
you can rely on it, he won’t commit the
mistake of arresting a Police Commis
joner again. —New York Star.
Some Definitions.
One of Thackeray’s daughters has just
published a little book about her friend,
Miss Evans, in which she prints some
delightful definitions made by that lady.
Some of these are as follow:
“A privileged person—One who is so
much a savage when thwarted that civil
ized persons avoid thwarting him.”
“A liberal-minded man—One who dis
dains to prefer right to wrong.”
“Radicals—Men who maintain the
supposed right of each of us to help ruin
us all. ”
“Liberals—Men who flatter Radi
cals. ”
“Conservatives—Men who give way to
Radicals. ”
“A domestic Woman —A woman like a
domestic.”
“Humor—Thinking in fun while we
feel in earnest.”
“A musical woman—One who has
strength enough to make much noise,
<uid obtusenesa enough not to mind it.”
