There are few insects at once 20 familiar
TO sll and yet the natural history OF which
10 80 little understood; and It may not be
amiss, therefore, to recount . few facts
which have been ascertained ~ regard TO
it.
The order Of Dyptera. to which the fly
belongs, is one Of great extent, and its
members, in their different forms, include
many of the greatest pests In existence
sboth to man and animals. The mosquito,
the gnat, the biting. fly, the horse-fy, the
tsetze, limb, and other species, are we'll
known illustrations Of this statement,
many of them being armed with lancets
and other forms of aggressive weapons,
loy means of which, they become . source
OF torment The housefy, however,
although provided with q some similar
apparatus, does not use it commonly SO as
to draw blood, its offensiveness consisting
principally in the pertinacity with which
1t insists upon crawling over the akin or
in infesting articles Of food. Y = 4 .
The eggs of the house fly arelaid in de-
cayed vegetable matter, such as dead
leaves, and especially the manure OF
stables, about seventy or eighty being the
usual number. These soon hatch, and the
larv,e grows rapidly, feeding upon, the
substances found near it. After q short
time the outer skin hardens, and becomes
brown and tough, forming case shaped
like little barrel divided into rings. The
transformation of the larv4 is quickly
made, and the animal is soon ready to
emerge as a perfect insect. ailH
The common blow-fy is another species
OF this order, which lays its eggs in decay
ing flesh, and which sometimes hatch be-
fore leaving the body of the parent, and
in any event very soon becomes develop
ed into larva They form the well known
maggots, which are the annoyance of
house keepers in hot weather.
A fly very similar TO the horse-fy In
general appearance, but with the wings
diverging more widely when in d state OF
rest, Is provided with 2 very powerful lam
Get, by means of which blood may be
drawn in an instant after settling upon
the body Of an animal. It is curious
fact, that this species, like the mosquito, in
alighting upon an upright surface, uni
forinly rests with its head upward, the
true house-fy occupying a precisely OPP
posite direction, or with the head down
s ward, thus affording a ready means of
distinguishing them. ym eva h'' ead ~
The hodsesfly, both as grub and perfect
insect, furnishes food to great variety OF
other animals; but the destruction Of the
adult is, largely due to the growth Of
parasitic fungus which attacks it, and de-
veloping rapidly in its interior, soon ex-
hausts its vitality.-Hd7per's Magazine.

Danger OF Using Tobacco.

A writer in the Spectator thinks tobacco
has property belonging to very few sub
stances, which makes its use exceptional

est Dose Cases are quoted from DR.. Dur
ben's work on tobacco. Mr.. T., q lawyer,
80 years of age, Of athletic frame, for five
years had shown symptoms Of spinal at
lection which had resisted all remedies.
On the recommendation Of Or. Durben,
he gave up the use of tobacco, In which
he had INDUCED to excess. The result
was that 'iall the symptoms disappeared,
asi by enchsntment, and at the end OF
one month the cure was complete" One
day, dining with the doctor, he INDUCED
