In examining some portions of the
flesh of mallard duck, transmitted to
him by DR.. Cones, Prof. Leidy found
abundance of parasites in the interstices
of the muscles. These were oval white
bodies, one or two lines long and
about one-third of line thick, which,
beneath the microscope, were ascertained
to contain myriads of fusiform corpuscles,
like minute Navicul@, measuring about
one-fifteen- thousandth Of an inch in
length. Similar bodies were first discov-
cred in fishes by Prof. j. Miller and de-
scribed by him as parasites, under the
name of Psorosperms. They have since
been repeatedly observed in fishes and
usually regarded as vegetable parasites.
Prof. Leidy was not aware that any such
organisms had been previously detected
in birds. Though the mallard is not
fish eating bird, as a rule, the individual
may have become infected by swallowing
fish affected with these organisms

The American mind is active. Ithas given
us books of fiction for the scntimentalist,
learned books for the scholar and profess
sional student but fe,o books for the people.
A book for the people must relate to q sub
ject of universal interest. Such q subject
is the physical man, and such a book THE
PEOPLES COMMON SENSE MEDICAL AD-
vIsER," a copy of which has been recently
laid on our table. The high professional at
tainments of its author-Dr. r. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, n. Y.-and the advantages derived
by him from an extensive practice would
alone insure for his work cordial recep-
ton. But these are not the merits for which
it claims our attention. The author is
man Of the people. He sympathizes with them
in all their Affections, efforts and attain
ments. He pcrceives their want-a kn0Wt-
edge Of hen.seiues-and, believing that all
truth should be made as universal as Gods
own sunlight, from his fund of learning and
experience he has produced work in which
he gives them the benefits of his labors. In
it he considers man in every phase Of his ex-
istcnce, from the moment he energies from
a rayless atom, too diminutive for the sight,
until he gradually evolves to the maturity
of those Conscious Powers the exercise OF
which furnishes subjective evidence of our
Immortality" Proceeding upon the theory
that every fact of mind has physical ante
cedent, he has given an admirable treatise
on Cerebral Physiology, and shown the bear
ings of the facts thus established upon indi-
vidual and social welfare. The author be-
heves with Spencer that, "as vigorous
health and its accompanying high spirits are
larger elements of happiness than any other
things whatever, the teaching how to main
tain them is q teaching that yields to no
other whatever" and accordingly has intro
duced an extensive discussion of the meth
DDS by which we may preserve the integrity
of the system and ofttimes prevent the onset
of disease. Domestic Remedies-their prep
aration, uses and etfccts-fOrm a prominent
feature of the work. The hygienic treat
ment, or nursing of the sick, is an important
subject, and receives attention commensu-
rate with its importance. Nearly all diseases
"to which flesh is heir are described, their
domestic treatment suggested. To recipro-
cate the many favors bestowed upon him by
a generous public, the author offers his
book at price (Sl.5O) little exceeding the
cost of publication. Our readers can obtain
this practical and valuable work by address,

Habits should enter largely into the
choice of a teacher. If you wish your
boys to become inebriates employ teach
er who uses intoxicating liquors,
frequents saloons, etc. If you wish them
to eat tobacco, procure q teacher
who will use it in their presence. The
idea with some is that if he only smokes
or chews little it don't matter; better OBJ
tain one who is a perfectly dirty habitu-
ate, then your boys may become disguised
with its use. If you wish your school
room q hot-bed of disease procure q
teacher who is ignorant of the laws con-
trolling health, who will keep the air
vitiated with poisonous vapors and heated
to degree that removes the oxygen of
the air. Such q one will most generally
be those whose lungs are SO compressed
with some fashionable appendage as to be
unable to manufacture enough heat to sus-
tain the body and extremities during win
ter. If you wish your girls led into
fashions which dwarf the body get a
teacher who is corseted, hustled, with
light high-heeled boots and delicate ap-
parel. If you want the mind dwarfed OBJ
tain a teacher whose time is devoted to the
reading of novels, fictitious magazines and
other nonsense, instead of good, sound
literature.-Cor. Western Farm Journal.

A Certain Duty of Girls.

The terrible fate of Josie Langmaid, |
and the fact that girl friend testifes that
the fellow Drew, now under arrest on sus
picion, had previously insulted Josie, leads
the Springfield, Mass, Republican to speak
plainly Of the responsibility and duty of girls
in case Of such insults Its words are worthy
the earnest consideration of those to whom
they are addressed. We quote:
I'VE must admit. however, the greater
prevalence of crime against the sex, and
selves bear some of the responsibility, not
80 much in this class of cases by any
tempting torwardness of manner, as by
their neglect to properly denounce and ex-
pose the first improper solicitation, 1t is
n matter OF common notoriety that where
a clergyman or teacher has betrayed the
girls entrusted to him, it has been
through gradual approaches and through
solemn iniunctions of secrecy imposed
upon one victim after another Many
mother has been made the confdant, years
after, ot attempts upon her daughter hon.
or which should have been exposed and re-
buked at the moment, and nearly everS
person open to the confidence of the sex is
familiar With such instances, the woman
not intrequently having preserved at once
her chastity and silence at the expense of
untold anxiety and distress, even to the
point OF heroism. The motive to silence is
the dread of scandal, of being misunder-
stood OF not believed and of occasioning
some violent revenge upon the offender,
from which the tender heart of woman
shrinks. 1t is now apparent that the
Langmaid girl had concealed from her
parents previous solicitations from the
man to whose lust she finally fell victim
concealed proposals which, if revealed,
would have saved her life, but which now
only serve as circumstantial evidence
against her murderer. Another motive to
concealment is the threats of the offending
party. But any subsection to such threats
only places the victim still more complete
ly in his power. Exposure alone renders
him impotent and powerless to injure, con-
cealment but increases his audacity and
his opportunity by increasing the chances
Of final escape.
We must remind women and girls that,
although they have no votes, they have
strong social and moral duties to perfom,
and one of the most imperative of these is
the exposure Of crime against themselves.
Every improper solicitation passed by
leaves breach in their defenses to which
the unrebuked assailant will return, with
the added assurance that he may operate
with impunity. Every insult to girl un-
avenged imperils some other girl, who may
be less strong or to whom circumstances
may be less favorable. The young woman
who passes by such an affront In silence
eonspires against the safety Of her own sex.
She should lose no time before putting the
case in the hands of her next best friend,
who, we grieve to have to assure her is not

mistake. 1t isn't the books we finish at a
sitting which always do US the most good.
Those we devour in the odd moments,
half IA dozen pages at time, often give Us
more satisfaction, and are more thoroughly
digested than those we make particular
effort to read. The men who have made
their mark in the world have generally
been the men who have in boYhood formed
the habit of reading at every available
moment, whether for five minutes or FIVE
hours.
1t is the habit of reading, rather than
the time at our command, that helps us
on the road to learning. Many of the cul
tivated persons, whose names have been
famous as students. have given only two
or three hours a day to their books. 1t
we make use of spare minutes in the midst
of cur work, and read little, if but a
page or paragraph, we shall lind our
brains quickened and our toll lightened by
lust so much increased satisfaction as the
book gives US. Nothing helps along the
mopotonous daily round so much as fresh
and striking thoughts to be considered
while our hands are busy. A new idea
from volume is like oil which reduces the
friction Of the machinery of life. What
we remember from brief glimpses into
books often serves as stimulous to action,
and becomes one of the most precious de-
posits 10 the treasury of our recollection.
All knowledge is made up of small parts
which would seem insignificant in them
selves, but which, taken together, are val
liable weapons for the mind, and substan-
tial armor for the soul. Read anything
continuously" says DR.. johnson, land
you will be learned" The odd minutes
which we are inclined to waste, if carefully
availcd of, will, in the long run, make
golden hours and golden days that we shall
ever be thankful for.
