A visitor to a famous school for tin blind in England saw some remark able sights. In one room the teacher was rea j ing a story, and the children wer writing it down on paper. Instead o using pen and ink, they were piekin, holes in the paper with steel points #Their fingers are so sensitive that b; 'touching these punctures they cai read easily. It seemed strange to se< some of the pupils writing in this way holding their paper under the desks cjuite "out of sight," as an eye-sighte? person would say. In another part of the room tin children were doing examples in writ ten arithmetic, using paper and punch ers instead of slate and pencil, an< working very quickly ami carefully. The children of the geography clas ?poor things !?make maps for them selves. The mountains are littl mounds of wax. pieces of string ar laid dowu on the paper for rivers am glued in place, beads are sewed on fo towns. We are not sure that sue) maps are not even better than th< fiat colored ones in our school geo grapbies. The older pupils are taught to d< things; to plait window cord, to cam chairs, to weave baskets. Piano tun ing is another work which the blim can do as well as another?perliap even better, for where the eye is dul the ear is often highly sensitive. The teachers in this school try t< teach their pupils to take care of them selves, and to train their sense o touch to take place of their lost sight ?S. S. Advocate. Wonders of Life Reproduction ?According to the naturalists, a scor pion will produce 65 of its species in i single season ; a common fly, 144; i leech, 150, and a spider 170. The hy drachna produces 600 eggs, and a com mon frog* 1,100. The female moth ii credited with exactly the same numbe of eggs as the frog, and the tortoisi 100 less, or an even 1,000. The gall in sect lays 50,000 eggs, the shrimp, 6,000 and over 10,000 eggs have be<;n fount in the ovaries of a captured ascaris One naturalist reports finding over J2, (XX) eggs in a female lobster, and an other found 21,000. The multilla, ai insect very similar to the ant, has beei known to lay 80,000 eggs in a singli day, and Leuwenhock attributes 4,000, 000 for the season as the female crab's share in reproducing her species. Mori than 30,(WO eggs have been counted ii a herring, 38,000 in a smelt, 1,000,000 ii a sole, 1,130,000 in the roach, 3,0(H),(KM in the sturgeon, 342,000 in the carp 383,000 in a tench, 54C,OOOin a mackerel uq>7 nrv? in ;i nwnh and 1.357.000 ill ! flounder. iiut of all the fish hitheru discovered the cod appears to be th< most wonderfully prolific. One re liable naturalist reports 3,080,000 egg: from a single female iu oueseason, an< another as many as 9,444,000. Summer Hints to Bkk-keepkks ?Bees are now at work. Competen advisers say that it is well to supply them with some rye meal, which an swers the same purpose as the pollei of plants, which, as y?t is not availa ble. It is not desirable to stir the bee ? to too early activity, but to protect thi hives from chilliug storms. Jf th< bees fly too sooti, they are apt to b chilled by an unexpected shower, an< many have been lost in this way, ? that experience has proved that is bes not to disturb them, but provide som rye meal at the hives, that the bee may take it on fine days and not b compelled to fly afar for the suppl; they desire, and ofteu to fly in vain Wotor miicf Iio ennnliprl in Hlt> SJim '' ~-fi ? manner, so that tbey may run no risl in going far in search of it. The wate should be slightly warmed, and ahvay given in wooden dishes or troughs o: which the bees cau move about easily while on tin or glass dishes they cau not, and are thus liable to get drowned A safe way to supply bees with wate is to put some in a pail and hang coarse cloth over the edge, partly ii the water, so that the bees cau get i from the absorbent cloth in perfec safety. Horses have much more often bee made pets than cows have been.
