A Dining.ROOm Picnic.

A MASTER mind at present residing
in New Jersey town has grappled sue
cessfully with the picnic problem. The
mind in question belongs to a man who
is an enthusiastic entomologist, and has
wonderful degree of skill in training
insects. With the aid of half a dozen
trained spiders, several educated cater
pillars and quantity of wild and hum
cry flies and mosquitoes, he is able to
furnish parties with all the pleasures of
a picnic in his own house. Last week
he gave an experimental picnic to a
number of invited gncsts. The floor of
his large dining-room was strewn with
new-mown grass, plentifully mingled
with thistles. Badly-cookcd food, with
lemonade that had been thoroughly
warmed by the sun, was placed on tho
table, and though the guests were re-
quired to sit on the floor, they were ex-
pected to 60 to the table when hungry.
The flies and mosquitoes entered into
the spirit of the affair, and were as
active as if they had been in the open
air, while the trained spiders and cater
pillars did wonders. In less than ten
minutes the ladies unanimously ac-
knowledged that, unless, perhaps, the
celebrated South African picnic, where
company of ladies from Cape Town
accidentally sat down on q nest of
white ants, and were deyoured in ex-
actly forty-five minutes, with the ex-
ception Of their hair-pins and one
crochet needle, no real picnic could
have been more exciting. Only one
insect-a trained spider-was accident
ally killed, but the master mind has
three others in training to take its
place, and promises that his dining
room picnics shall compare favorably
with the best open-air picnics in point
of really enterprising and efficient in
sects.-N. Y Times.

Legal Advertising In Cooperative
Newspapers.

An important decision, touching the
legality Of advertising in newspapers
printed on the cooperative plan, has
been rendered by the New Jersey
courts. A mortgage sale was adver-
tised in a newspaper printed on this
plan, and the property was sold as ad-
vertised. The owner of the property
protested against the proceedings, on
the ground that the advertisement
thereof was not legal, because the
newspaper printing it was so-called
"patent inside" A petition to set
aside the sale was accordingly fled in
chancery. The petition fully and square,
ly raised the issue as to whether . news
paper using a "patent outside" print
ed outside the State, was newspaper
printed and published in the State, in
which land sales light be legally adj
vertised. The question was fully
argued before the Vice. Chancellor, at
Newark, N. j., and decision rendered
"that such an advertisement was legal
and sufficient, and was both . substan-
tial and literal compliance with the
statutory requirement" and the mo-
ton to set aside the sale was denied
and petition dismissed.

Yellow Fever.

A NEW ORLEANS correspondent of an
exchange gives the following as among
the chief characteristics of the yellow
fever now prevailing in some of tho
southern cities:
about the fourth or fifth day the
eyes turn yellow. The skin, also, as
sumes a yellowness like that of bruise,
or bright jaundice yellow. However,
the patient does not turn yellow in
more than one case in six. As to the
causes of the scourge, the old atmos
pheric theory has gone by the board,
and the best writers now seem to have
settled down to the belief that the
poison is of animalcular origin-thess
animalcules generating and spreading
over surfaces like grasshoppers Or
caterpillars, and being introduced into
the human blood. If they exist, the
most powerful microscope has hitherto
been unable to discover them. Ono
fact that seems to point to their exist
ence is that the same extremes of heat
and cold that kill other insects also
kills yellow fever, whose contagion can
not exist and becomes innocuOus at 81
deg. and PIP deg. Yellow fever is al
ways killed out after good freeze.
Yellow fever never spreads above 600
feet above the sea level. Acclimatiza-
ton does not prevent, and no person
has second attack. The period of in
cubation is generally four to nine days,
though persons have been known to
carry it in their system twenty-three
days and then take it. Without treat
ment, seventy-6ve out of every hundred
will die. With treatment and good
nursing, however. about one in three is
the average mortality. In the great
epidemic of 1867, in some Texas towns,
one-haf died who took the fever. As
to the cure, no remedy has yet been
found, and all treatment SO far, even by
the best physicians. is as empirical as
the causes of yellow fever are unknown
beyond conjecture"

ly to greatly desire, nor does the miner
even in his delirium desire it. therefore
he is tied in such way that he cannot
resist. The miners say that they can
bring man out all right by their
method of treatment in less than half
the time that it would be done by the
physicians.
The other day thing happened in
the Consolidated Virginia shaft which
borders on the miraculous. A man
was standing on plank that was placed
across the shaft when he suddenly
tainted and fell upon his back, lying as
securely along the plank as though he
had been placed there with the greatest
care. 1t was quite as wonderful, too.
that he remained just as he fell sutfi-
GENTLY long to allow his fellow-work-
men to reach him and withdraw him
from his perilous position. Not once
in ten thousand times would mans
life be saved when fainting in such a
position.-Virginia city (Neu.) Enter

the names of the Democratic candidates AL
through, except that of DurTall Republican, for
Congress. Another letter from Wetmore 10 Leet
was read, which stated that he was getting dis
gusted with Wells, and that he was nearly starv-
ing. Wetmore edited Wells organ. Wells lived
ct Rapides Parrish and regarded the place ~ his
private kingdom.
At this stage, owing to the absence of Mr.. But
Ter and some expected witnesses, the Committee
adjourned until the 18th.
BEFORE the Committee, on the 10th,
John E. Leet and his apparent insanity were dis
cussed. dispatch was received from Gov. KEEL
logg denying several of Leet's statements, and
stating that, for several months, he had been an
importunate office-beggar. Mr.. Kellogg said that
any statement that Packard and himself, or lead
ing Republican,, ever took Leet into their party
councils. would be received with derision in Lou
isiana.
Gen. Butler called attention to his request
made during the preceding week. regarding the
failure and refusal of Senator Stanley Matthews
to appear before the Committee. He now moved
that the fact of his service with q subpoena and
his failure to come before the Committee be en-
tered on the minutes. and that this Committee
report him to the House for their action. Mr..
Potter said that he had lost sight of Buffers
motion, hut remembered it, and would sustain
it now. He put the resolution to the Committee,
and it was unanimously carried to report Senator
Matthews to the House as being in contempt

How Wasps Get Their Building Ma
terial.

REAUMUR states that for twenty years
he endeavored, without success, to dis
cover the materials employed by wasps
in forming the blue-gray papery SUBJ
stance so much used in the structure Of
their nests. One day. however, he saw
a female wasp alight on a sash of a
window, and it struck him while watch:
ing her gnawing away the wood with
her mandibles that it was from such
materials she formed the substance
which so long puzzled him. He saw
her detach from the wood a bundle of
tibers about the tenth of an inch in
length, and finer than a hair, and as
she did not swallow them, but gath
cred them into mass with her feet, he
had no doubt but that his opinion was
correct. In short time he saw her
shift to another part of the window,
and carry with her the tibres which she
had collected, and to which she con-
tinued to add. He then caught her,
and began to examine her bundle, and
found It was neither yet moistened nor
rolled into ball, as il is always done
before being used by the wasp in her
building. He also noticed that before
detaching the fibers she bruised them
into kind of lint with her mandibles.
All this he initiated with his penknife,
bruising and pairing the same wood
till it resembled the fibers collected by
the wasp; and so he discovered how
wasps manufactured their paper; for
these fibers are kneaded together in a
kind of paste, and when the wasp has
formed ball of them she spreads it
out into leaf nearly as thin as tissue
paper, and this she accomplishes by
moving backward, and leveling it with
her mandibles, her tongue and her
teeth. And so the wasp forms paper,
placing layer upon layer, fifteen or
sixteen sheets deep, and thus prevent
ing the earth from falling down into
her nest.
