GREAT things for science have been
achieved by means of the microscope but
these will now be outdone by the aid of
an apparatus which the inventor calls
ian aplanatic searcher," and which when
applied to the microscope, increases its
power, its penetration, and capability of
definition to an almost incredible degree.
Objects which nnder the best of ordinary
microscopes appear as black patches, are
seen to be full Of beads, or lines, or
grooves, or possessed Of a fashion of some
sort, with the aplanatic searcher. Some
theories Of vital organization are built on
discoveries made by the microscope; and
if these discoveries are proven to be de.
lusions, the theories will have to be aban-
doned or rewritten. This is especially
the case with the "germ theory" and the
theory ofospontaneous generation. The
minute dish of jelly in which the germ
was supposed to lie is now proved by the
aplanatic searcher to be delusion,. a false
image, due to nothing more than ehe in
perfection of the object-glass. From this
it will be understood that a revolution in
microscopical science may be looked for
The inventor of this new searching appa.

Warning to fhebrIates.

DR.. McCulloch gives the following test,
which, perhaps, may be innocently tried by
all who are at all skeptical as to the preju-
dicial effect of alcoholic drinks on the con-
stitution: Ela
Hold a mouthful of spirits-whisky, for
instance-in your mouth for five minutes,
and you will find it to burn severely; In
spect the mouth you will observe that it is
inflamed. Hold 1t ten or fifteen minutes,
you will find that various parts Of the
mouth have become blistercd; then tie q
handkerchief over the eyes, and taste, for
instance, water, vinegar, milk or SIENNA !;
you will find that you are incapable of dis
tinguishing the one from the other. =
This simple and easy experiment proves
to q certainty that alcohol Is not only vio-
lent irritant, but also 10 narcotic; for in this
experiment you have objective evidence
that 1t has inflameds and blistered the
mouth, and for the time being paralyzed
the nerve Of taste, and, to certain extent,
those slsOof common sensation. Now this
il not an experiment or fact upon which
any doubt has ever been or ever can be
thrown; and I ask you, can you believe
that the still more important internal organs
Of the body can be less injuriously affected
than the mouth? 81 X7
Even the moderate use," says DR. Viii.
hanson, Of such liquors, iflong contin-
ued, and grown habitual, cannot fail to have
ultimately prejudicial effect upon the
health, while 1t may be confidently asserted
that there are no circumstances ofordinary
character under which It can he justified as
beneficial or necessary"

A Remarkable Boy.

Farmer BOgles was veraciOus old
dodger If there was anything he de-
lighted in it was to secure the attention of
some one while he spun yarn about the
wonderful cuteness of his boy, Tom. Tom
was his idol-his hero on every occasion
and never would the old fellow let his
hero suffer for want of romance
"Ah" said Bogles, one day, as he had
fairly fixed his auditor, " Tom is the most
remarkable boy you ever set eyes on; he's
like his old dad-you can no more sar-
cumvent him than you can woodchuck.
You recollect that choice apple-tree that
stood down under the hill, beside the
stump fence? Well, was mighty savin,
O. them apples, can tell you. forbid
Tom touchin' 'em, as they brought high
price in the market, and every one told;
but he would get EN- in spite o me. 1t
was his way, you know, and all possessed
couldn't stop him. One day caught the
his sack with the fruit, and / determined,
this time, to punish him for it,
Thomas, my son. says l, your
fathers calm ye--come down..
81 thought I'd be sort of persuasive so
il would fetch him; but he smelt the rat,
and didn't bulge an inch.
"I can't, dad said he, these pesky ap-
pies are in the way
"eTom,' l continued, sternly, for my
dander begun to rise, come down this
mint or I'll cut down the tree and let yer
fall
You see my poor limbs wouldn't per-
mt my shinnin' after the boy, so had to
take other means.
go, no, you won't, dad says Tom;
only think how you'd mourn If you
couldn't sell the apples to stuff the Old
toad skin
That was too much-to have my own
boy accuse me Nv parsimunny. So what
does do but git the ak and cut away at
the bottom Of the tree.
"'Tom-Thomas,' l cried, as the tree
was about half cut of, will ye come down
now, and save yourself ss.
"'Never mind, dad says he-T amt
spilin.'"
1t was no use couldn't bring him
that way; and SO chopped away at the
tree, till, at last. it began to sway and fell
to the ground" Fal
"What and crushed your own boy? "
calculated his Mortified listener"
:" Not by a long chalk, replied old
Bogles, winking knowingly. "You couldn't
come it over Tom in any sech way. What
had he done but crawled out on limb,
and while was chopin at the bottom o
the tree, he had been cutting off the limp
with his jack knife, and when the tree fell
there he so0s stW up there on the snab."

Six weeks afterward, Mrs. Wimbush re-

on her mother.

sponsibilities and duties. and my grand
daughter are going to marry two brothers
the consequence is, she and l will be
sisters in law. But as you are mother to
my sister-in-law, you will nearly be my
mother In law, which is very singular re-
latiOnship for daughter to sustain toward
her mother, especially when she is not the
wife of ones father-in law. Now, as"
