Savings for Old Age.

No one denies that it is wise to make
provision for old age. but we are not all
agreed as to the kind of provision it is best
to lay in. Certainly we shall want little
money, for 8 destitute old man is indeed a
sorry sight; yes, save money by all means.
But an old man needs Just that particular
kind of strength which young men are apt
to waste. Many foolish young fellow
will throw away on q holiday certain
amount of nervous energy which he will
never feel the want of until he is seventy,
and then how much he will want it, 1t
is curious, but true, that bottle of cham
pagne at twenty will intensity the rheu-
matism at threescore.
1t is fact that everlasting the eyes at
fourteen may necessitate the aid of spec
tacles at forty instead of sixty. We ad-
wise our young readers to be saving of
health for their old age, for the maxim
holds good in regard to health as well as
to money "Waste not, want not" 1t is
the greatest mistake to suppose that viola
ton of the laws of health can escape its
penalty. Nature forgives no sin, no error;
she lets off the offender for fifty years
sometimes, but she catches him at last, and
inflicts the punishment just when and
where, and Just how he feels it most. Save
up for old age, but save knowledge; save
the recollections of good and noble deeds
innocent pleasure and pure thoughts; save
friends, save love- Save rich stores of that
kind of wealth which time cannot dimin-
ish nor death take away.-RuTd Neto

Frank?" said Fannie Grey to her brother
Frank, young man just home in his first

"They were splendid, Fan. 1 told the
fellows they were done by an old lady of

And Frank Gordon pulled his coat
sleeve up little and showed the shining
linen, fitting his shapely wrist, much to
his little sisters admiration.

after, may ask you something's"
"Of course you may, little one; I'll an

The Fly On the Ceiling.

How the fly supports itself in opposition
to the laws of gravitation Is one OF the
first questions that the juvenile philoso-
pher undertakes to solve. As his small
stock of science is not sufficient to enable
him to master the mystery, he consults
book or questions friend. From one or
the other of these he learns that the insect
supports itself by means of tubular shaped
vessels which enable it to exhaust the air
from beneath its feet when they are press
ed against a surface. This being done the
upward pressure of the atmosphere holds
the insect in its place. The simple little
piece of apparatus known as the sucker,
is designed to illustrate how fly supports
itself from ceiling.
Recent investigation, however, seem to
clearly show that viscid fluid and not an
atmosphere pressure is the means whereby
a fly can walk on a ceiling. The follow
ing would seem to be convincing proofs of
this tho ory: An insect was chloroformed
to prevent its relinquishing its hold, and
being in a receiver the air was exhausted
but it still kept its place. Every foot-st e
leaves mark on the surface of clean
piece of glass that can be distinguished
with a microscope. The existence and
secretions of this fluid being thus clearly
proven, it is plain that it would interfere
with any attempt at suction; and 1t seems
certain that exhaustion of air and the
secretion of this fluid could not go on at
one and the same time, through one set of
vessels. This fluid is very tenacious, and
nearly ipsoluble. In all probability lis
the material that SO often holds flies and
other insects SO securely to the plsce
where they spent the night that they can
not in the morning leave the spot without

THE LESSON OF THE BRIARS.

Charley, pushing his way through the
hedge as he spoke. "Girls amt good for

Ella felt like giving some angry answer,
but she checked herself and went on with
her sewing as she sat under the big tree,
wondering what made Charley break off
his sentence so suddenly.
"El-la, El-lal" cried a pitiful voice at
last, come help mel I'm getting all torn.

trousers and the harder he struggled the

Charley, clapping his hand to his trou-

new clothes, two cousins coming to spend
the day, and poor little boy sobbing in
the nursery until the nurse would stop
scolding and make him fit to go down and
see the company. The very thought of ali
this misery made him cry.
"Ohl they'll be here in minutei boo

hastily threading her needle with long
black thread; stand just SO, dear, till

gently, at the same time beginning to draw
the edges of the tear together; You know

Burns and Scalds.

DR.. Ferguson gives the following recipe,
which he has tested in the severest cases of
burning and scalding from raihoad and
steamboat accidents with invariable sue
cess: Glycerine. five ounces white of egg,
four ounces; tincture of arnica, three
ounces. Mix the glycerine and white of
egg thoroughly IN mortar, and gradually
add the arnica. Apply freely on rags,
night and morning, washing previously
with warm CASTLE soap suds.
The celebrated English surgeon, Mr..
Skey, recommends the application of So
luton of nitrate of silver in proportion
ate strength, varying from five to twelve
or more grains to the ounce, according to
the extent and severity of the burn and the
age of the patient. The whole surface of
the burn should be brushed over with the
solution, cottonwood applied, and a mod
crate opiate administered IN glass of
brandy and water, proportional to the age
and habits of the patients, with the object
of counteracting the sense of chilliness
that will otherwise necessarily follow in
all these cases.

Miscellany.
Is the World Round Or Flat.

ABOUT year ago sn eccentric phlloso-
pher of Lon6on, Ensland, named John
Hampden, having convinced himself be-
you'd all peradventure that the world
was fiat, not round, as commonly sup,
posed, undertook tbs arduous mission ary
work Of converting mankind to his way
of BELIEF. Not msking much progress by
following the ordinary methods Of private
preaching, he resOrted to the expedient of
offering betupon the subject. He made
public annocncems Mt, Offering to stake
$4,000 against s., ,500 to be put up by any
scientific man, inst he could prove thai
the earth was fat and not round, as every
bedy else believed.
No one appears to have taken immedi
ate notice Of this absurd offer, whereupon
Hampton came out wIh another an
nouncement, in which he boldly declared
of an imposition in propou1diDg the round
were afrsid to lake up his challenge, and
stake So 500 as he proposed.
But the challenge having come to the
notice of MIR. Alfred Russell Wallace, a
gentleman of high rputation, and q mem
ber of several scintinc societies. he &C.
cepted the conditions, and put up his 3d.
500. This amount, together with SINH
lar amour put up by Hampden, was de-
posted subject to the order cf The rsferee,
Mr. Walsh, editcr of the Field newspaper
wo was to pay over the $1,000 to the
winning man.
Tue mode adopted for settling the
question was planned by HampdeB, the
advocate of the fiat theory, and the ex-
pertinent appears TO have been conducted
in all respects as he desired. The ground
selected was six mile level, ON the Bed
ford Canal. Three long poles of equal
length were iprovided, and planted at
equal depths, and at distances of three
mules apart. A telescope was then en-
ployed, through which it was clearly and
Enthusiastically perceived that the central
pole was five feet above the level line of
the telescope, which at once proved that
the earth was not flat but round Mr.
HHmpden expressed himself satisfied that
he had lost the bet, and the money was ac-
cordinglY paid over by the referee to the
winner, Mr.. Wallace
The experiment and the telescope were
level, but not SO the head of Hampden
He that's convinced against his will, Is of
the same opinion still. 1t was not long
before Hampden woke up to the mortify-
ing conclusion that he had made blum
der, or that in some way he had been be-
logged. His reason told him that the
earth was still fiat, not round, as that ly.
ing telescope and those fibbing poles had
affirmed He concluded also, that Wal
lace was thin BILE rigger, a pickpocket, a
liar, and swindler, aud went about pro
claiming these ibels in the most unblush
ing manner. This SO annoyed Wallace
that he brought suit for hbel against
Hsmpden, AID the jury lately mulctec
him in $4,000 damages, making 8 sun
total of $500 cash paid out on account
of his theory that the earth is fat Poo,
Hampden is indeed martyr to SCIENCE

Smith met Brown the other day.
Smith is Browns new neighbor. And
Smith said: "Mr. Brown this is your
wife's birthday, understand; won't you
allow me to make her a little PRESENT."
Certainly, Br. Smith," said Brown;
"you are very kind, but this is quite
unexpected; you are quite stranger, you
know" Never mind" said Smith;
"that's no reason why we should not be
on friendly terms" And so they went
into q convenient jewelers., and Smith
bought a very handsome locket for $50,
which he presented to Brown to be pre-
sented to his wife, with the copgratula-
tions ofneighbor Smith. When the locket
came to be paid for the generous but alb
sent-minded Smith had forgotten his
check. book, but Brown was flush. and ac-
commodated him. They parted a few
blocks from the store, to which Smith re-
turned, and was paid commission of five
dollars on the sale of the locket. He still
owes Brown the principal. Mrs. Smiths
birthday is next week. Brown is looking
for Smith to give him something TO take
home to lis wife.

DAUGHTER, don't let mother do It'll
Do not let her slave and toll
While you sit, a useless idler,
Fearing your soft hands to soil.
Don't yon see the heavy burthens
Daily she Is wont to bear
Bring the lines upon her forehead
Sprinkle silver in her hairy
Daughter, don't let mother do iti
Do not let her bake and broil
Through the long, bright summer hours,
Share with her the heavy toll;
See, her eye has lost its brightness,
Faded from her cheek the glow,
And the step that once was buoyant
Now is feeble, weak and slow.
Daughters, don't let mo,her do It'll
She has cared for you so long,
Is il right the weak and feeble
Should be toiling for the strong!
Waken from your listless languor,
Seek her side to cheer and bless;
And your grief will be less bitter
When the sods above her press.
Daughters, don't let mother do It'll
You viii never never know
What were home without a mother,
Till that mother lieth low
Low beneath the budding daises,
Free from earthly care or pain
To the home, so sad without her,
Never to return sgain.

A Singular Custom.

The moment the breath leaves the body,
1t is hastily arrayed in the finest robe
which the purse of the relative will per
init, and hustled away by some official of
government to building in the cemetery
prepared for its reception. Here the body
is elevated on sort of inclined plane,
which is covered with flowers the quality
OF the flowers, too, depends on the purse
OF the friends, whether they are natural,
fragrant blossoms, or those manufactured
of tin, paper orrags. The bodyis envelop-
ed In these often tawdry limitations, and
upon the thumbs are placed two small
rings, which are attached to slender wires
suspended from the center of the baild-
ing, and which, of course, enter the room
above. Here, at the end of the wires bells
are arranged, and the slightest movement
OF the body will cause vibration in the
wire and sound from the bell Here sits a
person ever in waiting for summons from
some one of the corpses below.
The ostensible reason given for this
inhuman custom of tearing the dead from
their homes, and having them thus expas-
ed In building open to every one who
may choose to enter, is the possibility that
life may not have become extinct, and yet,
after faithful inquiries, we have not been
able to learn of one instance where the
watcher was reused by the ringing of the
bell.
Rich and poor are alike laid here, though
the same eXclusivenesS which separated
them in life is maintained here by their
friends. The building is divided into two
compartments; the largest and most at
tractive room, with its subdued light, is of
course, occupied by the rich, while the
simpler one is used by the poor The
decorations of the finest room are often on
grand scale. We noticed here one little
infant not over month old, dressed in a
robe OF white silk, covered with a tulle.
and bordered with rich blonde lace; this
child occupied space long enough for an
adult and the arrangement of the roOe
gave it the appearance of trail two yards
long. On its head was little cap, border
ed with wreath of flowers. A sad con.
trast was the innocent baby face, in tie
quiet sleep of death, to this disgusting, os
tentations display about it.
1t was not curiosity which led us to look
) upon such scene, but desire to satisfy
our selves Of its existence. and by q
moments stay we were assured not only
OF tnat, but of its wickedness also; fol
Whlle we glanced at two sweet little chill
