Flies.

DIR. R. N. Piper, the naturalist, has
described, in a private letter, some
microscopic Investigations which he has
lately been pursuing in the study of the
fly. He has made what he calls neat
dissection of the tongue of house-fy,
and has put up a rather nice specimen
of house from blowing fly, with all
it's organs in a perfect state. He has
also observed, what he thinks is a gen.
eral fact, that all, or nearly all, the
flies which survive the winter, are
females. In one of these which he
anatomical he found 106 eggs. He
adds: I have also demonstrated, what
is, perhaps, an chronological discovery,
that the central lancet of the horsefy
is tubular. For what reason-as he has
a sucker with which ne draws blood
from the wound he makes? The lancet
of the horse-fy-the female, for the
male has no biting organs-is COM
pound instrument. When closed, it
presents a point when open, it shows
several points radiating from its base.
The outside lancets have rows of teeth
like those on the jaw of a shark. l sup
pose the creature introduces the lancet
shut like the sticks of fan. When it
is Withdrawn, it is opened in tie pro-
cess, and thus makes that ugly, torment
ing wound which these insects iDfict
upon horses and cattle. The hollow
lancet, perhaps, carries some kind of
fluid to poison the blood or render it
more fluid. There is, however, no gland
to be found by which this fluid Is Sc
GREETED. That the lancet is hollow, how
ever, I have shown without a question,
as I have contrived to make fluid pass
through it.

A Wrong Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure Of liver
complaint and both the mineral and vegetable
kingdoms have been diligently searched to
procure the most drastic and poisonous pur-
gatives, in order to produce powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse the tagging and
enfeebled organ. This system of treatment is
on tho same principle as that OF giving a weak
and debilitated man large portions Of brandy
to enable him to do a certain amount of work
When the stimulant is withheld, the organ,
like the system, gradually Telapses into a more
torpid or sluggish and weakened condition
than before. What then is wanted? Med-
cines. which, while they cause the bile to flow
freely from the liver, as that organ is toned
into action, will not overwork and thus debil-
tate it, but will, when their use is discontin-
ned, leave the liver strengthened and healthy.
Such remedies are found in DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets.

force costs the farmer nothing, if he
plows at the right time. Frost is about
the only pillow that nature uses to open
the pores of clay to admit air and the
roots of plants.
Study to utilize all natural forces,
whether of solar light and heat in our
sunny climate, or of hard freezing
weather of winter, Or the spring, sum-
mer or autumn rains, which have a
much greater value to form variety of
crops than is generally appreciated.
Titled ground holds about twice as
much water as food for plants as the
same ground will hold without plow-
ing. The deeper the earth is stirred
the more water it will hold and not be
too wet for the crop or working it.

BETWEEN THE DANCES. y

Deep night! This night is worthy of you, sweet,
So many stars it has A soft wind woos
The aspens trembling DER the garden seat.
And murmuring such low tones as lovers use,
It breathes along the flowers; and slumbering
spices
Are blown abroad beyond the gided spears
Which crest the gates. How coyly it entices
The wisd-harp into strains which sound like
tears
Changed by charm to musici Love, it seems
That you and sight sisters; both so pure,
So beautiful so made to love and lure,
So full of music, murmurs, Odors, beams;
Both queens of dreams divine and starred repose
Which day man less heaven encompassed

A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.--The percep-
tive faculty of women is usually keener
than the same chronological organ in
men. Woman knows that beauty rather
than genius is worshiped by the sterner
sex. A man may talk with his lips of
the latter to his lady-love, but the keen
ness of the woman knows that he is
thinking of the former in his heart. All
women have an innate desire to please
their beaux. They are fond of admira-
ton, hence one of their lUngings lie to
be beautiful. The grand secret of fe
male beauty is health-the secret of
health is the power to eat, digest and
assimilate a proper quantity of whole
some food. Take Vinegar Bitters. 1t

since, in one of our exchanges, some pretty
severe remarks addressed to several persons
who, during an interesting lecture by Rev.

who cannot refrain from coughing, had better
stay aw V from such places, or else take bot

NoRDHoFF says of the communistic
societies of the United States CAN
the successful communes are composed
of what are customarily called com
mon people, You look in vain for
highly educated, refined, cultivated, or
elegant men or women. They profess
no exalted views of humanity or des
tiny; they are not enthusiasts they do
not speak much of the beautiful with a
big B. They ore utilitarians. Some do
not even like flowers; some reject in
strumental music They build sOIidly,
often of stone; but they care nothing
for architectural effects. Art IS rot
known among them mere beauty and
grace are undervalued, even despised.
ADJUSTMENTS, too, they do not value;
only few oommLnes have general IL
braries, and even these are of very linn
tied extent, except, perhaps, the library
at Oneida, which is well supplied with
new books and newspapers. The Per
feciionists also encourage musical and
theatrical entertainments, and make
amusement SO large a part Of their
lives that they have nearly half dozen
committees to devise and superintend
them"

SALT WATER ICE.-Tha notion gener-
ally prevails that when salt water freezes
the ice is fresh, and when melted will
produce fresh water. Prof. Tyndall
states that such is the case in his
Forms of Water" But DR.. Rae,
the Arctic explorer, declares that he
was "never able to find sea ice,
either eatable when solid or drinkable
when thawed-it being invariably too
salt" He adds, however, that when
his party found ice projecting above
the water, and from its appearance in
dicating tn it was year or more old,
it was generally fresh and made good
drinking water. His theory explaining
the fact is that the salt is not itself COP
9ealed, but that a concentrated brine,
imprisoned in minute cells, is retained
IN the solid ice. These cells communi-
eating with the other when the ice is
lifted above the general level, the brine
is drained off, leaving the mass fresh.

amusements of youthto which virtuous
women are not admitted, rely on it,
are deleterious in their nature. All
men who avoid female society have
dull perceptions, and are stupid, or
have gross tastes, and revolt against
what is pure. Your club swaggerers
who are sucking the butt of billiard
cues all night, call female societyiinsip-
id. Poetry is uninspiring to jockey;
beauty has no charms for blind man;
music does not please poor beast
who does not know one tune from
another; but as pure epicure is hardly
tired of water sauces, and brown
bread and butter, / protest / can
sit for a whole night talking with
a well-regulated, kindly woman about
her girl Fanny or her boy Frank, and
like the evenings entertainment. One
Of the great benefits man may de-
rive from a woman's society, is that
he is bound to be respectful TO her.
