THE FLY EATING PLANT. A Cartons Operation of a Vegetabis De. veuring Asmial Life. One species of the droee has its leaves rounded, while the other has theta elon :ated. but both alike have them reddish .n color and covered wit' short hairs or tilamuents. At the end of each of these .alrs there is an enlarged gland which secretes a tiny drop of what appears to be harntless dew Harmless, however, the .iquid is out. for to most insects. espe :ially small dies, the drosea is a most tnsidionsly baited trap. The liquid is in reality a sweet. sticky substance, and if the very smallest fly does but touch it ever so lightly it sticks there and dies. The manner in which the plant after ward actually digests the bodies of the flies it entraps is interesting in the ex trene Within a short time of the capture of s fly-so excessively Žansitive are the ;lands-all the filaments growing around the moue which has made the capture com mnence to bend inward. covering the luckless insect until it is securely within the grasp of the relentless plant. Each gland then pours out upon the body a digestive liquid, not altogether unlike the gastric juice of animals, and in the course of a day or two the fly is com pletely digested. the nutritive parts have been wholly absorbed by the plant and the filaments have bent back to their original position, ready to make another capture upon the first opportunity. If, however, the substance caught by the leaf is of an indigestible nature, such as a grain of sand or a piece of stick blown by the winds on to the glands, the leaf does not remain closed more than a few hours. The number of insects thus caught must be very great. The Xlants themselves are very abun. dant is umo.t upland bogs. Each plant has five or six leaves, and as many as thirteen dead flies have been found on a sin;le leaf. Curiously enough, Darwin, whose re searches into the subject were of a most achaustive and interesting nature, found that the leaves on his plants were killed when he gave them a surfeit of cheese and raw mntat. The excessively seai tive nature of the glands almust sur passes conception. Darwin f ':td that the: bsurption of only the 1-2tj. r'.000th part of a trsin of phosphate of ammo ain or thertebout wes sufficient to cause the fthanzent bearing the gland to bend toward tho center of the leaf.-Good Words. Good Advice on the Subject of Hats. Some one has said that not one man in a dozen knows flow to wear a dress coat. and !t is quite at true that a large num hr of individuals do not have any idea now to wear a hat. One man can wear his hat at the hack of his head and look well dressed, while another having his bat in that position would look as though he were recovering from a protracted round of dissipation. It is just the same with the other positions, on the top of the head, on either side or drawn over the forehead. It is knowing how to wear a hat which makes it look well, and the knowledge often enables the poor man to look more dressy in a cheap hat than his richer neighborin a much more cost ly one. The time the knowledge is a saving one is when buying a hat. A good sales man will take care that a customer gets a bat that will fit him when worn in the position which is most becoming to that inlividual, but unless this is taken care of by either purciazser or salesman there will be little satisfaction from the pur chase and the hat will probably bW w off at the smallest provocation.

It is a step fur ther than the *fist." Desides it is much more swell to live in "chambers" than to live in a fiat. It is just the thing for young married people. They take a suite of two or three rooms and bath. There is no kitchen. They furnish the rooms to please themselves, and have of course their own latc'hkey. just as if it were a fiat. The house has an offce down stairs a good deal like a hotel. Here mail. etc., is received. A reception room is provided down stairs, where guests wait while their cards are brought to you.
