Blood.

By the aid of a microscope 1t is seer
that blood consists of minute round h'
bodies floating in an opaline liquid; these
are termed corpuscles. They are 30 very "A
small that one cubic inch of blood con- &
tains no less than eight hundred million
corpuscles. Blood is rather heavier than
water, as is seen when drop is let fall
into the transparent liquid it falls through
it, In about fifteen minutes after blood
is drawn from the body it ceases to DO
fluid, and becomes gelatinous mass. All
ter standing for about twenty-tour hours
it separates into two distinct parts-one
watery fluid, which is called serum the
other, solidifed mass, coagulum. The
red color of blood is due to substance
called hematine, which exists in the cor
puscles. The coagulum consists in the
main of a body called fibrin--hesh pro-
ducer-masked by the color of the hema;,
tine. This fibrin differs but little from
the nature of the white of an egg. The
blood fulhllse every Office in tie body by
restoring and building it up. Certain
matters are eliminated from the blood to
produce hair, nails, skin, fat, muscle, bone,
brain, ETC. 1t is therefore obvious that
the blood must be of a complex nature.
As a single fluid it contains more known
elements than any other known neutral
body among others may be mentioned
phosphorus, lime, magnesia, iron, sulphur,
soda, chlorine, potass, etc. In its natural
condition il contains fat and sugar. The
average composition of blood p indicates
that in every thousand parts from male,
| it contains 7S0 of water; from q female,
| 700 of water. .-SeptlmuS PieSSe. '''' 7al A-

Bad Bargains.

ONCE Sabbath.school teacher re-
marked that he who buys the truth
makes a good bargain; and inquired If
any scholar recOllected an instance in
Scripture of a bad bargain. ..s .
al do" replied boy. "Essu made a
bad bargain when he sold his birthright
for mess of pottage."
A second said "Judas made bad bar
gain when he sold his Lord for thirty
pieces of silver" '.. t-sI
A third boy observed: "Our Lord
tells us that he makes bad bargain who,
to gain the whole world, loses his own
soul"
l have seen good many boys in my
time who have made bad bargains. Some
change the Sunday school for the street;
and home for wicked company; and
the Bible for bad books; and health !
for tobacco. They always get the worst
of it. Boys, look out for these bad bar
gains Young Reaper.

What a Spider Can Do.

Y ALTHOUGH spiders are 30 uglys and so
much disliked, there is much about them
to admire, and something, children, we l.
may well initiate too. When we examine
a spider through a microscope, we Gnd1
there are some rare things for us to see.
We find, for instance, the greater part Of
him covered with rich soft hair, He has
eight eyes, brilliant and shining as dia-
monds. Like ali other insects, his eyes Srro
are immovable, and for this reason they y we
are in different portions OF his body that
he may see the better. He has eight legsna1 \
in all, Joined like those of a lobster Atin.r pf
the endD of each leg, there are three fi'd e'
crooked, movable claws, forming sort of ohel"I
this reason, Solomon speaks OF the spider uuru %
as taking hold with his fhandsB About a
the middle of his body is . very curious 1T
spinning machine. No human mechanic "a H..
ever invented anything TO compare with voj J. !,
it. Connected with the machine there srens ,gNsf
four little bags of thread-such little bagsI ana
In every bag there are over one thousand ,o.N
holes-such tiny holes From each hole. .9us a,ol
runs one thread and there being in the roi'nI
four bags four thousand holes, we have in s'0,lI
all the same number OF threads from this sn7",t
curious splnning-machine, All these .'nh !
threads the spider spins together into one nAG'g
thread, which, after all, is so small, that l,, >,
the finest silk thread man ever made ls
five hundred times larger than it, Won ~
derful things, then, are these spiders. I,f

making them, than in the finest watch or
sewing machine you ever saw.
SO you see there is much abo4tthe sspi-j-,,.f-
der to admire But there is. also some -
thing about the spider we may well mi,
tate. -.41" l
The spider is a hard working little .a
creature. He is very industrious The .-. -
spider, as soon as he begins to live begins -.
to work. Every spider is weaver and ra Of.
rlgger, and the young and old spiders are ~ .V
hard workers. Children, you never saw -dt l.
a spider that was reared 10 idleness. Then, s
again, he never does his work hurriedly ,7bnr'
or carelessly, as many children do. LOOK d sno
at his web See how regularly the threads 's
are drawn; how neatly the cross pieces
are fastened TO them, and how securely it q,
is held to the wall or the brush. The n
strongest wind may sweep by it. butt 1t
stands there still fH .L.It
: AS an example of industry, then, ,thef'
spider is worthy of imitation. Industry I
is q most honorable quality. tits becom-
ing in all-those who occupy the lowest,
as well as those who occupy the highest
station of life. When God made Adam
and Eve, He put them in the garden of
Eden, that they might have an opportu.
nifty of dressing and keepingit. He never
intended that they should lead an idle life.
For the same reason the angels have .-.
constant employment in HeaVen.-hI-t "a: 20

DIsINFEcTANTs.-The best and most
simple disinfecting agent known is chlO-
ride of zinc. 1t is easily made by dissolvI
ing zinc in muriatic acid, and can be apl
piled in a diluted state to cess pools, togi
and offensive drains, etc. Suiphate OF
zinc is also an excellent disinfectant and
can be purchased at almost any drug
store in the form of salt. A half pound
dissolved in pail of warm water ana
thrown into cesspool not remarkably Of
fensiye will deodorize it at once. We adj
wise our city readers to apply this agent
freely, during the month OF August es-
pecially. Copperas is another agent that
may be applied in the same manner and
for the same purpose, and either of these
will accomplish, if freely used, all that -

The Chicago Base Ball Club intended
to start Yesterday for Cincinnati to play
q test game on neutral grounds with
the New York Mutuals, in accordance
with the challenge issued by the latter
club. But before starting they received
a telegram from the proprietor of the
hotel in Cincinnati, where the MutuaIs
had been stopping, saying that the
Mutuals had left short time previous
for New York. OF course the White
Stockings did not go. ...--.tt

Nothing has vet been heard OF the

Messrs. c. II. Mallery d Co., owners OF
the vessel, have hopes that something
favorable will yet be received from her,

Royal Order of the Day.

BERLIN, November 3.-The following
ROYAL order OF the day is published this
morning:
Soldiers Of tie Confederate Armies
When three months since we took
the field, | said God would be with our
lust cause; that this confidence has
been fully realized, witness Woerth,
Saarbruck, Metz, Sedan, Beaumont,
and Strasbou.g, each victory for our
arms. To you belong the merits and
glory; You have maintained all the vir-
tues which especially distinguish sol
diers. With Metz lost, the army Of
the enemy is destroyed.
take this opportunity to thank you
all, from general to soldier, and what
ever may occur in the future, look for
ward to it calmly, because know that
with such soldiers victory cannot fail.

BOmbardment Of Paris.

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the frequent rumors that the day was
fixed for the bombardment of Paris,
only to be followed by another report
contradicting the first, this in turn be-
ing followed by a reaffirmatlor of the
original report. The following remarks
of the New York Tribune fifty summar-
ICES the latest reports on the subject :;
will. Paris be bombarded? The as
surances that it was the intention
of the Germans to open fire upon
the city Immediately are again re-
heated this morning from sew
eral sources, and with such circum-
stance and detail that they are likely
to obtain greater credence than they
deserve. The South German allies
have been invited to visit Versailles to
witness tue bombarlment, and accord
ing to the rumors alluded to the present
is the fatal day selected. But all the
evidence seems to contradict the assur-
ances. 1t has evidently never been the
purpose OF the Germans to inJure the
city If they could by bombardment
and it does not seem probable that
thew will waste life TO seize that which
is ready to drop helplessly into their
hands. The population Of Paris is al
ready upon short rations; each soldier
receives but a pound OF meat a week
and the rations of the citizens are doubt,
less even less. An officer on General
Won Moltke's staff, writing on the I'D
Of October, calculates that the surren'
der OF the city will take place within q
fortnight, or three weeks from tina date
and speaks of hunger being our ees
ally. This purpose at once reveals th'
purpose and the hope of the Germans
The first is wise and the last not unrea
sonable."
