Pleasant Reading for the Ladies'.

The British Medical journal publishes
an abstract of al article by DR.. Lindeman
upon the parasite bodies (Gregurinidd)
found in the false hair and chignons usual
ly worn by ladies. These grow at the ex-
tremities of the hair, and form little Jumps,
visible to the naked eye. Each of these
Jumps represents colony of about fifty
psorosperms, which are originally spheri-
cal, but become fiattened and discOid by
reciprocal pressure. Under the influence
of heat and moisture these swell, and the
granular contents are converted into little
spheres, and then into pseudonavicelle,
which are little corpusces having per-
sistent external membrane, and inclosing
one or two nuclei. These become free, and
float in the air and penetrate into the in
teIior of the human organism, reaching
the circulatory apparatus, and, according to
the doctor, reducing various maladies, not
the least of which are affectations of the
heart, Bright's disease, and pulmonary
complaints. DR.. Lindeman remarks, with
the eXactness of the mathematician, that
in ballroom containing fifty ladies forty
five millions of navicell;e are set free, and
he urges the propriety of abolishing false
hair on this account.-EditOr'S Scientific

The Depth OF the Ocean.

The ocean is not a "bottomless deep"
except to the poets and to young ladies,
neither of whom are familiar with the
modern improvements in taking sound
ings. Not only have skillful seamen
known how to reach the bottom and fetch
part of it up to the top from great depths,
but mathematicians have given themselves
the trouble to calculate theoretically its
average depth. BuffoR gave this at 24O
fathoms, or 1440 feet; Lacaille gives from
164 to 273 fathoms; Laplace, enormously
estimating the mean elevation of the land
at $3.50 feet-three times the height now al
lowed by physical graphers-thought
the waters of the sea must be of about
equal depth. Young assigned a depth of
2735 fathoms to the Atlantic and about
$500 fathoms TO the great South Sea. Ac-
cording to this estimate, other mathema-
ticians add, the Pacific must be at It's deep
est point fifteen and half miles in depth,
which is scarcely probable. But though
little is known of the greatest depth Of the
oceans, we do know that their bottoms are
OF unequal depth, and that they contain
mountains as well as vast rolling plains

"The Watchdog of the Treasury"

Very probably he is occupied in con-
structing specimens of that mysterious
signature which ornaments all our paper
money, and is to most men riddle more
unsolvable than any that the Sphinx ever
propounded. Translated it is +. +. Spin
ner. We observe that the pen with which
it is written is of peculiar construction,
and has three points, and that the ink used
has the thickness and consistency of mud
and the blackness of Egyptian darkness,
and is ''piled up'' on the paper to q height
which we would be incredulous had we
never seen it, and which, having been
seen, renders us more incredulous still
This delightful quality in the ink, the
messenger informs US, is produced by long
exposure to the atmosphere in an open
vessel to be accurate, an old pitcher with
broken nose. 1t is astonishing, we are
further told, to note the number of people,
principally from the country districts, who
stray into the Treasurers room during the
course of year for the purpose of shaking
hands with "the man who makes that
funny signature" and of looking wonder
ingly on to see how he makes it.-Scri6ner

Where the Sum Does Not Set.

A scene witnessed by some travellers in
the north of Norway, from cliff one thou
sand feet above the sea, is thus described ::
The ocean stretched away in silent vast
ness at our feet the sound Of waves scarce
ly reached our airy lookout (; away in the
north the huge old sun swung low along
the horizon, like the slow beat of the
pendulum in the tall clock of our grand
fathers parlor corner. We ali stood silent,
looking at our watches. When both hands
came together at twelve, midnight, the full
round orb hung triumphantly above the
waves, a bridge of gold running due north
spanning the water between US and him.
There he shone in majesty, which knew
no setting. We Involuntary took Off our
hats no word was said. Combine, if you
can, the most brilliant sunrise and sunset
you ever saw, and the beauties will pale be-
fore the gorgeous coloring which now lit
up ocean, heaven and mountain. In half
an hour'the sun had swung up perceptibly
on his beat, the colors changed to those OF
morning, fresh breeze rippled over the
floor, one songster after another piped up
in the grove behind us-we had slid into
another day.

Hints Not Usually Needed

Persons who are in the habit of lying
awake in the morning, before it is time to
get up, will often find that if they can but
impress it upon their minds that they ought
to get up Immediately, and that it is wrong
for them to lie still a moment longer, the
bed will begin to grow more and more at
tractive, and that the gentle drowsiness
which besets people who ought to get out
of bed, but who want to stay there, will
very probable steal upon them. Every one
who has ever wished he could be as de-
lightfully sleepy on Sunday or holiday
mornings as he is on days when he must
rise early TO his work, will appreciate this
plan.-Frank r.. Stockton; Scri6ner's for

Enemies of the Cut Worm.

The cut worm has quite number of enc
emies, one of which, called the cut worm
lion, is thus described by DIR. c. V. Riley,
Estate Entomologist of Missouri, in Col
mans RurdL World:
This cut worm lion has quite formida-
BILE appearance and is exceedingly agile.
II is fiattened, of black color, with six legs
upoh the breast and pair of sharp, hook
like Jaws projecting in front of its head. 1t
pursues the worms in their retreats under
the ground, and seiZes them whenever it
comes in contact with them. Sometimes
young cut worm lion will seize a worm
twice as large as itself, and will cling with
bulldog tenacity TO its prey through its
throes, its writings and twistings, till at
last the worm succumbs exhausted, and the
victor bites two or three holes through its
skin and proceeds to suck out its juice.
This insect is also q sort of cannibal, as
it will eat its own species as readily as the
cut worm when opportunity occurs at
ment.
DIR. Riley names several other enemies
of the cut worm, one of which he calls the
spined soldier bug. The fact that the cut
worm and other insects destructive to fruit
and vegetables have enemies to aid man in
keeping them in check, illustrates the fol-
ly of general war on all insects by night
fires in orchards, sweetened water, &C.,
which some persons blindly put into prac-
tice. The farmer has not so many friends
that he can afford to spare many of them.

Grain and Produce.

Grain aud Produce.
GRArE.-The grain trade during the past
week has been very light. There has been but
little offered, but sufficient for the demand,
which has been very slight. Wheat has fallen
10 cents on the bushel, from the highest figures
1t carried few weeks SINCE and we continue
to quote it at 81 S0al 90; yet, withal it is
slightly frmer than when last reported. There
has been general decline in wheat in all the
principal markets, and many OF the leading
wheat merchants have entirely withdrawn from
the market. Those merchants have not re-
turned to the mar ket with any degree of actv>
ity, yet occasional car load orders are received
by our merchants,
FLoUR.-The market remains considerably
easier, there being sufficient supply for pres
ent local demands. Flour, however, continues
in good demand.
OArs.-The trade in oats is very dull, the
amount in market being fully equal to the de-
mand
CoRN.-Thetrade in corn is very dull at pres
ent and the demand is light.
EGGs.-The trade in eggs continues good and
they have again advanced slightly. We quote
them in demand at IA cents
BACoN.-The bacon trade is considerably
frmer. Some heavy shipments having been
made lately. Prices are tending upward.

keeper, who was 10th TO let his best rig to

have his ride, and agreed to buy the horse
and sleigh, and when he returned the
stable keeper might refund the money.
This was done, and the team returned and
the money refunded, when the German
started to go. Hold on" said the man of
