Worms.

| Wv "a 4AAASs
| DR.. Benjamin Rush about one
hundred years ago made a series
ofexperiments upon earth worms,
which he considered more nearly
allied in many characteristics to
those which commonly inhabit the
Iaimentary canal of children than
any other, with view to test their
ipower and resist the influence of
those substances which might be
used as worm medicines. The ta-
| BILE containing thenumber of hours
and minutesthe worms lived when
immersed in different substances
fills several pages, and we have
no space to print itentire, but the
| lesson it teaches is one not very
well learned by those who have
1.-THE care and treatment Of children.
| It is this :--thatthese worms lived
often quite as long in substances
which are known as poisons and
| fatal to animal life, as in substan-
ces perfectly inocuous and fit for
| food. For instances: in watery
Infusion Of opium they lived II
minutes in infusion of Carolina
pink root, 33 minutes; in an infu
sion Of tobacco, IA minutes, and
in claret wine, 10 minutes; while
in a watery infusion of white ar
senic they lived 2 hours. Now, all
of these substances are more or
less poisonous and produce injuri-
GUS effects when taken into the
stomach. Now the fresh juices of
II q
ripe fruits are not poisonous but
wholesome, and yet, as the follow.
ing figures will show, they prove
even more fatal to worms than
the substances mentioned above.
For instance: in juice of red cher
ries, worms died in 6 minutes !;
black cherries, in 8 minutes; red
currants, in 3 minutes; gooseber
ries, in 4 minutes; whottleberries,
in minutes raspberries, in 5
minutes; plulns, in - minutes; !;
peaches, in % minutes. From these
: experiments DR.. Rush argued that
fresh ripe fruit, of which children
are very fond, fare the most spec
| dyand effectualpoisonsf for worms"
} In practice, this theory has prov
ed correct. Those children that
eat freely bf good fruit have gen
orally a much more vigorous and
. clean condition of the digestive
: canal, and worms rarely trouble
5 them. The practice of poisoning
worms by anthelmintic medicines
+ while it may kill the creatures,
!. also weakens the digestive appa-
, ratus, and this invites further at
a tacks. The best treatment is one
; that invigorates and clenses. Air,
exercise, and wholesome food are
q the best worm medicines.
/ While on this subject we may
5 appropriately notice new remedy

: G. G. Comstock, in the st. Louis

A Crow Roost.

A . 'OAA9 AAg'S We ~0' WV
Of the most remarkable sights in
Kentucky is the crow roost, sew
en- miles from Lexington, on the
Danville pike. The roost is so
old that the mind of the oldest in
habitant of the blue grass region
runneth MOTTO the contrary. Many
years ago the roost was nearer
Lexington, but as the trees were
cut away the crows moved south
ward, always seeking the next
piece of timber. At the present
there are no large forests in the
country near the city, and
many pieces of timber have been
called into requisition to lodge
their black highnesses. Hundreds
sleep in the open fields for want
of limb, and the wrangle over a
desirable bed in treetopis some
thing fearful. By the amount of
cawing and jawing done every
evening, we should think the
question of reconStructing the
roost, or moving it altogether,
was under discussion. Wether
the crows will ever abandon their
ancient rOostS is a matter of some
doubt, but judging by the fact
that hundreds, if not to say thou
sands, have already given up the
trees and roost on the ground, we
incline to the opinion that when
there are no more trees all will
content themselves with a bed on
mother earth. A gentleman who
lives near the roost, and who has
a fine locust grove in front Of his
house, was surprised one evening
to see it black with crows. For
time it all went well but the
roost became popular, and every
evening there was a wranele to
| see who would get it. AS the de-
sirable place would hold only a
| few hundreds, and there were
some thousands who nightly ap-
piled for lodging, the noise and
confusion became intOlerable.
Sometimes in the middle of the
night an overloaded limb would
break, and then a battle would
ensue, lasting not unfrequently
until daylight. Tired out with
the din that banished the idea of
sleep, one night the old fellow
and his son sailed out with shot
guns and slew some hundreds of
their annoying visitors. Next NOR
ming the crows were all gone, and
returned no more to that grove.
The other evening we drove out
to the roost, and witnessed a sight
we shall not soon forget. 1t was
four o'clock when we arrived on
the ground, and already the crows
had began to arrive. At sundown
they were coming from all direc-
tons, and long lines continued in
tering the woods from every quar-
ter until dark. Each flock had
its f1ier or leader, who few oyel
the tree tops until he found his
roost, when the head of the col!
umn lighted, the rest circling
round and round and winding
themselves about the chief. Only
a few crows would light on the
same tree where the leader light
ed, from which fact we judge he
is a sort ofan aristocrat with the
common herd, and that the per
sons who slept on his tree were
his royal family and crows higt
in authority in the flock. Wieth
er we imagine it or not, certain i
is that on one tree only two o
three crows sat, who kept up al
incessant eawing, and every nov
and then one would quit the tree
and. after fiVing to an approach

MUTToN.-Daniel Websterkept
ON his farm in Marshfeld from
sixty to hundred sheep, chiefly,
for their meat. His selection emE
braced the Southdown and the
Leicesters. On one occasion Mr.
Webster remarked, how little the,
great mass of Americans cared
for mutton as food, while in Eng
land the people generally esteem
it the very best of butchers meats.D
He said he believed one reason To-
be that the English mutton IN
general was better than ours.
"You may occasionally he sre-
marked, ''tind good mutton in
Albany, New York and Philadel.g
phia, but in England you find no.
bad mutton" agl'4a 9l s5saae
A sheep, according to Mr.. Web.
ster, should never be killed for
the table before it is three years
old. A lamb, indeed, may get
nearly its full growth at a year
and a half or twenty months, and
become very fat,--and this is the
age they are usually sold for the
shambles; but such early mutton
is not delicate mixed, the lean
with the fat. 1t shrinks in boil
ing, and when cut upon the table :
it fills the dish with white gravy.
Mutton two years older, though
no fatter, will have much higher
flavor the muscles and the fat
being mixed, and when thorough
ly cooked will fill the dish with
red gravy. t-.liesf - bna
A pound of lean, tenders juicy
mutton can be produced for half
the cost OF the same quantity of
fat pork; and it is infinitely heal
thier food, especially in the sum
mer seasons, and those who eat it
become more muscular, and can
do more work, with greater ease
to themselves, than those who eat
fat pork.-We know nothing
more delicious than smoked NUT

VINO sat on the t0pm0St Drancn,
and never quilted his position,
but kept flaping his wings and
constantly grumbling about some
thing. He may have been the
king of all the crow nation, and
we regretted exceedingly that we
did not understand the crow Ian
guage,, so we could report him
correctly to the many readers of
! the Commercial. At times the
venerable cuss spoke in highly
excited and cultural tone, and, if
we may be allowed to judge by
his motions, he was considerable
of a tyrant in his governmental
affairs. The crows did not seem
afraid of US, and were evidently
used to human visitors. We drove
up quite close to trees bending
beneath their weight; but these
! birds, usually so shy, did not
mind us much uatil my compan-
ion initiated the explosion Of
gun, when a scene that beggarS
description followed. Instantly
cries rose from all parts Of the
woods, and thousands Of crows
few into the air, circling round
and round us, cawing voeiferouS-
IL. At times the noise was so
great, that, although sitting side
by side in the buggy, we had to
speak loudly in order to be heard,
by each other. Having raised
great distress among our black
friends, we drove off, but for miles
saw hocks in the air still coming
to roost. The rustic of the wings
in flying was one Of the most pc
culiar sounds we ever heard a
large flock passing silently over
our heads, we paused to listen,
and could compare the noise to
nothing but the fiutter of mil
lion fans, or the rumpling of vast
pieces ofsilk. Although the crows
will not abandon their roost, it is
a most annoying one, the boys
from the city and adjoining farms
frequently going out with dogs
and guns killing hundreds of
them. On a dark night they will
not fly from a torch. and if it is
wet and drizzly you can hardly
start them up. A double -barrell-
ed shot gun, or an old musket
; loaded with slugs, when fired of
under a large tree, has been
known to bring down as many as
forty birds. This inhuman mur.
der is frequently practiced by the
youngsters, who make bets on
how many crows they can bring
down at single shot. II start
