AxEcpozE Oh SPIDER.

A fine old English gentleman (Mr. Moy-
gridge), with abundance Of leasure for studies
in natural history, has written avery enter
tanning book on insects, in one chapter of
which, as Q critic asserts, he "elcvates the
character of the spider" It is pleasant, at
any rate, to know that he has found out enough
about the creatures feelings to elevate science
in the direction Of mercy. The story Is briefly
told as follows: BIoggridge has been in the
habit Of immersing for preservation his DIFF
ferent specimens Of spiders and ants 10 bottles
of alcohol. BE saw that they struggled for Q
few minutes; but he thought that the sensation
was soon extinguished, and they were soon free
from suffering.
On one occasion he wished to preserve slarge
female spider and twenty-four Of her young
ones that be had captured. He put the mother
into bottle Of alcohol, and saw that after .
few moments she folded her legs about her
body and was at rest. He then put into the
bottle the young ones, who, Of course, mani
tested acute pain. What was his surprise 10 see
the mother arouse herself from the iethargy,
dart round to and gather her young ones to her
bosom, fold her arms around them, and again
relapse into insensibility, until at length death
came to her relief; and the limbs, ne longer
controlled by this maternal instinct, relaxed
their grasp and became dead. Tho effects Of
the exhibition upon him Is lesson to our con-
mon humanity. He has applied chloroform
before immersIon. Judging from the above,
the spider Is certainly superior to the human
animal, in the fact that alcohol does not de-
stroy her natural affection. el 2

WHAT I'VE Eat

The fact that an Organization is about to be
started to compel the ante mortem preparation
of meats and poultey used uron our tables, is
one evidence that people are being awakened
to the nscessity of guarding against certain
marketable evils, by which hundreds q healthy
and robust men, women, and children ere
thrown into lTQlQnsed and incurable disorders
It appears from statistics that larger propof.
ton of the diseases TO which the .hesh Is heir
are lingering and chronic, and It Is stated BY
French medical men that this percentage can
be materially reduced by a.careful and proper
attention to what we eatand how we eat. In
the first place we must not gobble our food,
nor eat It when too hot. Warm food is necas.
sary. Hot food is deadly. Cleanliness is a
requisite as much as food itself, and to 1t the
most deliberate consideration Is to be given.
Apig brought up in filth, and allowed 10
take "such as he likes" wherever he may find
1t, viii always make bad pork, and show his
breeding at the table. We have heard of
measly pork, and we have heard Of trichine,
both OF scrofulous nature, and yet we eat
pork knowing not its bringing up. Chickens,
next to ducks, the nastiest gourmands in the
feathered kingdom, often pick up the yilest of
titbits, and as Is asserted by the medical fac
ulty, transmit through the family table dis
eases unknown to former generations who
have gathered around It. 1t Is our duty to call
attention to this matter Of choice in our
diet, and to enforce upon our readers the ne
cessity Of knowing the character Of the food
to which we extend the enjoyment Of our
digestion. We are glad TO hear that CON-
pany has been formed to purify, not only the
favor and gotst of our poultry and perks but
the taste Of Their consumers.

TIE GREAT seWtRy OF PARIS.

The sewers IF PsSis asseYs 70 rank among
the wonders Of the world. They are traversed
through great portion Of their extent By rail-
ways, and are as free from unpleasant cdor IS

remaining portion e effected BY means Of bost5.
Along these magniacent sesera are carried tie

matte tubes for the Transmission Of small pack

amount of sewerage dsposli B, means Of pecul
liariy constructed bargss each Of which does
tie work OF hundred men. The smaller ones
are kept clean by hand, $50 men being en-
ployed for the purpose, whose tenure Of LIE,
after they enter the sewers, rarely exceeds az
teen years. II Is BY such perfect system Of
sewage that Paris has earned the enviabls title
of being the clsanest city In the world. An the
solid matter is utilized and made to pay . feTe-
nue. to the city largely exceeding the interest
on the original cost Of the sewers. :.

VITAL STATLSTICS OF PARIS.

Arecent paper In the Revue dss DeIr H0rTles,
by u. Maxine du Camp, brings out some start
ling facts relative to births, marriages, and
deaths in Paris. The last census of the city
was made in 1872, and the whole population at
that time was 1 ISL ,79s, of which number
SCARCELY one third were TO the manor born.
The Parisians proper counted 642, us, while
1 ,01 ,s65 were from the provinces, and III, 200
stringers to the republic. The figures given in
regard to the diminution of births are very
striking. In 1868 1t was shown before the
Academy of Medicine that in FIVE years the
population of France had increased only 8s in
10000; in 1872 this small proportion was still
further diminished, there being only IS in
10000. In Paris, from 1858 to 1869, the birth
rate was SO ,293, about s9i to every TO- 900 peo-
pie, while in 1871 only 81, 40 births were regis
tered. As to marriages, N. Du Camp says:
THE union Of two people, young, healthy, and
Intelligent, Is one of the rarest things to be met
with in Paris" and he urges this as the reason
why births are in such small proportion to mar
riages, AMI young life is 80 brutally destroyed.
With regard to the death rate In Paris II. Du
Camp says:
"From 1855 to 1869 the deaths were 46, sS1
annually. In 1872 there were 45,782 deaths,
but between 1859 and 1872 what exact number
of people in Paris died there never will be
known, save that 1t occurred in vast proper
tons. It seems certain that the obituary
re ord during these years was greater than
during the cholera season of 1862. In August,
1870, the deaths for the month In Paris were
4 ,942, about the normal figure; but in Septem-
Der it increased to $500; In October It was
7,54S, and In November had swollen to 12,8S5.
In the year 1870 Paris lost by death the fearful
number of 70, 56S. The capital was suffering
then from cold and hunger, but in the begin
of 1871 matters were even worse.
Think of It y In January the record says
Is, 23S people died in Paris; then the city fell,
and in February there was decrease of 5000
deaths. Eighteen hundred and seventy -one
was. however, a sad year for human life, as,
from war and pestilence, the deaths amounted
to SO, 780. 1t is appalling to sum the mortuary
counts of those two dreadful years-1s7o and
1S71-which foot up 1G0,323. The death
caused by Prussian shot and shell, "the blood
and iron regime" were Insignificant, scarcely
worth counting, only some 1888 in all. When
we divide this fearful holocaust into its pro-
portion of pen and women, We find that Of the
100 900 who persisted in Paris, 7O,SS7 were
women" .
Thus does Paris pay the penalty Of its
gayety, its folly, and its vice. It BODIES Ill for
republic which shows such a record Of infan-
ticidc, of badly assorted marriages, and fearful
death rates. 1t Is not difficult to foresee where
a republic with constantly diminishing popu-
lation must end.

THE DEACOgS HAT.

rather ridiculous scene occurred in Nor
walk, Ohio, recently. The hero is prominent
and much respected deacon. The other Sun
day he started for church with an old hat on
his head. It was an easy hat, and the old
gentleman enjoyed it. It appears there are
pegs to hang hats on in the churches there.
he thus disposed of his head-gear on reaching
the church, and took his seat with the congre
cation. When the services were over be lin
gered, as is customary and proper for deacons
to do. He finally reached the porch, and
stopped for his hat, and any respectable citizen
can imagine the horror he experienced on be-
holding but one hat left, and that q most dilap-
dated and scandalous looking article.
He could feel his blood boil within him as he
looked at It and thought Of the mutton-head
who owned It, and had walked of with his
glossy beaver instead. He said out loud that
the owner ofthat hat was a mutton-head, and
ground his deaconish heel into the floor, and
felt much relieved by so doing. Then he tied
handkerchief about his head because the old
hat was much too large for him, and he could
not wear 1t even If flesh and spirit had not re-
volted against the spectacle. He told the sex
ton that the hat must have been built in dry
dock, and the only thing that troubled him in
the matter was how Q man with head that
size got into the church any way.
Then he stalked majestically homeward,
with the red handkerchief wound about his
head, and the detestabls hat held at arms
length of him, and altogether forming spec
tacle that fastened the astonished attention Of
every beholder. Arriving home, he extended
the obnoxious article towards his wife, and
waiting an instant for her to take In the awful
enormity Of the offence, he explosively shouted,
"Look at that villainous ragp The lady
looked at II and was astonished. 81 don't
wonder you are sck, - he howled morosely; at
makes me sick to think Of the bull-head who
owns such smoke-stack palming 1t of on me,
and taking my new beaver for himself In mis-
taksi Gle groaned this out with whitening sar-
casm,) A pretty mistake must say when
his miserable rag is big enough to cover cart,
and filthy enough TO make crow sick" "But
that's your every-d hat" asserted his wife,
In still greater astonishment. I" Ny hat"
gasped the amazed deacon, staring ct her with
eyes half way out Of their sockets, and then
laughing Historically and shivering from head
to foot. "Certainly Il is," persisted his wife,
sand here Is your best hat" taking that srti-
Gle from It's accustomed place and holding II
out TO him. Without Q word the miserable
man sank into chair, and, after staring
blankly at his wife for moment, slowly said:

A MICHIGAN GIRL As A WRESTLER.
It Is undeniable that the young ladies Of this
city are lamentably deficient in their duty in
the mal,e- If furnishing local items for tho
newspapers. Their sisters IN other places are
more mindful in this particular. The wy.n-
dotte Courier tells Of the exploits Of belle Of
the village of Trenton as follows: While pur-
chasing some goods Of dsshing young clerk,
she made some remark that implied doubts OF
his muscular ability, and was promptly chsla
lenged to trial Of strength. The young lady
accepted the banter and stopped out into the
street, followed BY the young man, who did
not think that the challenged party was in
earnest. The moment the young man cleared
the sidewalk he was grasped by the younglsdy,
and vigorous struggle followed. In defence
the clerk exerted all his strength, but was
thrown to the ground, where, with his head in
chancery, he got his face nicely washed In
snow. The affair attracted crowd Of nearly
one hundred persons" If any Of the girls
hereabouts have any couceit as to their ability
as wrestlers, and will notify rs when they pro-
pose to put the matter to test, VIC should be
pleased to detail an impartial reporter to make
notes of the tourney. Wehsye an acquaintance
With sundry clerks who would be 1T subjects
to practice on.
