Educated FleaS.

SOME years ago a strange little man,
with quaint-lOoking box, used to take
his stand in various parts Of London as
soon as it was dusk, during the winter
months, and silently invite the passing
crowd to stay and take a peep into this
quaint-looking box, which was lighted by
candle placed inside of it, the light of
which shone through various colored pa
pers, and exhibited transparent descrip-
ton of the object for which he hoped to
gather halfpence-"A A flea chained up by
the neck, alive" The fee for viewing the
flea undergoing this strange imprisonment
was one halfpenny," and convenient
magnifying glass was let into the side Of
the quaint box, in order that the object
exhibited might be the better viewed.
The writer of the present article has paid
more than once to see this unusual sight,
until he became to be regarded by the
proprietor of the imprisoned pulex reg
ular customer, and was treated to sight
of sucking" fleas undergoing the process
Of training Some were very quick, ac-
cording to his account, and "others he
could make nothing Of" The chains, cars
and locks which these little beasties drew
were of silver, and, as the strange little
man said, all constructed by himself He
had one flea who had been with him %
months, and declared that he knew of
still older ones, and he was accustomed to
feed his feas twice day, by allowing
them to suck from the back of his hand.
He declared that he was the last man who
possessed the secret of educating these
lively insects.-IHe World of Wonders.

Cory O,Lanus on the VelOcipede.

MANAGING the velocipsde is just as
easy as skating, when you know how to
do it.
1t takes you little time to learn how.
All you have got to do is to keep the
velocipede up and keep it going.
You can't do either of these separately,
and have to do them both at once.
Which makes it difficult
Because if the velecipede stops 1t falls
down.
At the same time if it falls down it will
stop.
The first law of velocipedestrianism is
motion.
On the beautiful philosophical principle
that necessitates the perpetual motion of
the planetary bodies, comets, eclipses, me-
teors, aurora borealises, and things which
are continually going on.
Or like mans credit, the moment 1t
stops running he goes up.
Only in the case of the velocipede he
goes down.
First, you must start the velocipede be-
fore you mount, then jump on while it is
running
If you have had any practice as circus
rider this comes easy enough.
All you have to do then is to catch the
pedals with your feet, and keep the wheel
revolving.
Steering is very easy, when you get ac-
customed to it; all you have to do is to
turn the wheel the way you want to 60,
and you'll go it.
You must not, however, 60 upon the
principle that one good turn deserves an
other, because too many turns may wind
up with an Overturn.
Any speed may be attained by increas-
ing the velocity of the velocipede, which
is done by lively agitation Of the driving
wheel
The more revolutions you make the
faster you will 60.
The next thing after driving and steer
ing is to learn to manage the brake.
The brake is very useful, and must be
looked after.
1t is necessary in order to keep the
hind wheel from running faster than
the front wheel, and putting the machine
out.
A painful accident happened recently
at Chicago through neglect of the
brake.
A man was running a race on time, and
was going at the rate OF three miles
minute
The hind wheel kept gaining on the
front wheel and in the attempt to pass it
made the velocipede turn a somerset.
The rider was thrown ahead, the veloci-
pede went over him.
would advise you not to buy veloci-
pede till you have learned to ride.
You can get lessons with the use of q
velocipede for twenty dollars quarter.
A robust and daring rider can knock
twenty dollars worth of damage out of
a velocipede in week.
To say nothing of personal damage to
his own anatomy, which is at his own
risk.
But don't be discouraged by such
triaes as bruised ankle or dislocated
shoulder.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try,
try again.

A Mathematical Story.

LEFEBYRE DE FERERAY, who died re-
Gently in Paris, was one of the most dis
tinguished mathematicians of the age. The
mountains of algebra did not dismay him.
He loved figures for themselves, as others
do flowers or poetry.
One day, while leaving the Sorbonne,
where he had done less calculating than
suited him, he noticed carriage which
had stopped at the door, the rear of which
was magnifcently black, large and shining.
1t was perfect algebraic black board. Le-
febyre stopped. To show arms to Archil-
les or blackboard to mathematician, is
to tempt human flesh beyond its powers of
resistance Ones soul needs much virtue
to resist the thing it loves. Lefebyre did
not resist. He took bit of chalk from
his pocket, for every person with mathe-
matical sympathies is as sure to have
some about him as billiard player. Then
he began to figure on the back of the car
riage. 1t went well. His symbols multi
piled, but suddenly, oh human misery !!
his blackboard went off on a gentle trot.
The savant followed, still ciphering, not
even thinking to call to the driver to stop.
He followed, painting and cursing, until,
at last, wearied of racing after these pitt
less horses, he stopped, saying: THAT
cursed board! and was on the point of
getting the answer"

ton OF the stomach was performed by
Professor Billroth. The operation was
gone through with and the stomach was
properly sewed up. On the next day the
patient died. A post m0rtem examination
showed in the re-opened stomach a sarqe
sponge, which had been used in the opera
ton, and which the operators had forgot
ten to remove"
II may be important for some people to
know that where a widow re-marries be-
fore the issue of a pension certificate, the
children, if any are living, are alone en-
titled to the back pension. If widow
re-marries during the tendency of her
claim for pension, she is entitled to the
pen sion to the date of her re-marriage,
unless the soldier left minor children sur
viving him.
HEMLoCK, to which Socrates and Pho
cion were said to owe their death, is now
pronounced by eminent toxicologists, to
be no poison at all. Sixty grains of tine
ture OF hemlock were recently admins
tered to a young woman without any ap-
parent effect, and a person, after dose of
"a grains of the pure juice of the leaves
of hemlOck, only experienced a slight
muscular numbness, which passed off after
an hour.
NODDED bread, meat, cheese, or any
other eatable, is an actual poison, whether
inhaled or eaten. One kind of mold
causes the fatal ship-fever. The mold in
damp cellars causes various grades of ty-
phoid fever, diarrhea, dysentery, etc. Re-
cent chemical researches and microscopic
observation seem to show that miasm is
nothing more or less than a mold, and
that this mold is, in reality, cloud of liv-
ing things, each too small to be seen by
the naked eye, and are drawn into the
lungs, swallowed with the saliva, incorpo-
rated with the food eaten, and by being
absorbed into the blood, are sufficient to
cause all grades of deadly fevers; elevated
or dry localities are wholly exempt.-Er-

names for it. MISREPRESENTATION, veloci-
pedestrian, velocipedist, velocipeder, veio-
cipedism, velocipedian. velocipeddler,
velocipedians, are some OF the names
applied to riding, riders, and items on the
velocipede.
People who want to establish veloci-
pede rink can call 1T by any of the follow
ing names: AmphicyclOtheatron, gym
nacyclidium, velocipedrome, or bicycle
curriculum Monocycle, bicycle, tricycle.,
quadricyle, are terms used to indicate the
number of wheels But we have seen one
name, that, in classical beauty and rich
ness OF conception, seems to us To eclipse
all competitors The machine which
rejoices in this appellation ia water yeIo-
cipede, and it Is called" Tacbypodoscaph." I"
Greek scholars win underetand this TO
mean "a swift foot boat" or, as Artemus
Ward would have said, "words to that
effect" In view Of this amazing fertility
of language would it not be well for some
enterprising publisher to print veloci-
