ging does not prevail; the way it is done
is this : the mother goes out to work in
the morning leaving her child in charge,
either of woman who can not be
troubled with it, or with another child
of, perhaps, ten years old. a dose of
'quietness is therefore, given to the
child to prevent it being troublesome;
the child thus drugged sleeps, and may
wake at dinner time: 80, VIXEN the
mother goes out again the child receives
another dose; well, the mother and
father come home at night quite
tatigued, and as they must rise early to
begin work the next day, they must have
sleep undisturbed by the child, so it is
again drugged, and in this manner
young children are often drugged three
times in each day

The Muscular Strength of Insects.

The strength OF an insect can be fine
ly illustrated by feat that was once
performed by a beetle--oaycteS maim'on-
variety that is quite common in the
United States. The beetle, for want Of
any box at hand, was put beneath a
quart bottle full Of milk upon table,
the hollow at the bottom allowing him
room to stand upright. Presently, to
the surprise of all in the room, the bot
tie began slowly to move and glide
along the smooth table, propelled by
the muscular power Of the imprisoned
insect, and continued for some time to
perambulate the surface. The weight
of the bottle and its contents could not
have been less than three pounds and =
half, while that of the beetle was about
half an ounce, so that it really moved
weight one hundred and twelve times
exceeding its own A better notion
than figures can convey will be obtained
of this feat by supposing a lad of fifteen
to be imprisoned under the great bell OF
st. Paul!s, which weighs $1,000 pounds,
and to move it to and fro from smooth
pavement by pushing within against the
side.
We have another instance of insect
power that is quite as remarkable as the
one just related. A small kind of cara.
bus, an elegantly formed ground-beetle,
weighing three and half grains, was
once fastened by silk thread to piece
of paper, a weight having been previ.
ously laid upon the latter. At q
distance of ten inches from its load, the
insect was able to drag after it, upon an
inclined plane of twenty-five degrees.
very nearly eighty-five grains. but when
placed on a plane of twenty-five de

hundred and twenty-five grains, exclu.

FALSE COUNTING.

The third plan is false counting. This
is done generally by transferring the
figures bodily. For instance, if Jones,
the Tammany candidate, gets 100 votes,
and Smith, the opposing candidate, re.
ceives 200, the 200 Of Smith are trans
tsrred to Jones, who gives his 100 to
Smith. This is an exquisitely simple
process, but in practice it is said to work
badly. and great complaint is made Of
it by those who have tried it. In the
first place, the candidates are often too
nearly equal to give Tammany its just
reponderence, or to overcome some
persistent opposition in district where
this plan can not be worked, for it is
found utterly impracticable in some dis
tricts. Its defects can sometimes be
cured by false count. That is to say,
the votes are counted 10y tens, one can
vasser taking them up and counting
ten, when he calls tally and slips
piece of elastic around the bundle. OF
course, he has only to take five votes
instead of ten and call italy" to aug
ment greatly the chances of his favorite.
In one instance this was done so enthu-
siastically that the Tammany candidate
had received fifty tallies, or 500 votes,
and had large quantity yet uncounted,
when the poll clerk felt it advisable to
