THE MAN AND THE PICNIC.

At early morn, all dressed In white,
he sought the picnic park;
His face was clean, his heart was light,
His loud song Knocked the lark,
But now, although the day is bright,
His world, alas! is dark.
For 10! in hordes the big black ants,
With nippers long and slim,
Went swiftly crawling up his pants,
And made it warm for him,
And through the woods they make him dance
With grasp, and groan and vim.
And when the rustic feast is spread,
And she is sitting by,
his wildwood garland on her head,
The love light in her eye,
He -wo, OwOI would he were dead!-
Sits IN the custard pie.
And now they send him up the tree
To fix the picnic swing.
And up the shell-barh s scraggy side,
They laugh to see him cling;
They can OF hear the words he cried:
"Dad fetch. dog gone! dat bling"
And now ne wisheth he were down,
And yet ne can not see
Just how the giggle, stare and frown,
Escaped by him may be;
He knows he can not scramble down,
With his back against the tree.
But the morrow comes, and its rising sun,
Brings balm to his tattered breeks;
He thinks after all, he had lots of fun,
And hopefully, gayly, he speaks;
And he goes to plcnics, one by one,
Nine times in the next five weeks.

THE CORN AND TIE LILIES
BY EMILY A. BRADDoCK.

Said the corn to the lilies:
sPreSS not Lear my feet.
You are only idlers,
Neither corn nor wheat.
Does one earn a living
Just by being SWEET"
Naught answered the lilies,
Neither yea nor nay,
Only they grew sweeter
All the l,veiong day.
And at last the Teacher
CHANGED to come that way.
While His tired disciples
Rested at his feet,
And the proud corn rustled,
Bidding them to eat;
"Children," said the Teacher,
1.-THE life is more than meat.
"Consider the lilies,
How beautiful they grow!
Never king had such glory.
Yet no toll they know"
o, happy were the lilies
That He loved them so.

SIZE IN THE EYE.-Size with the eye,
as with the brain, is generally conceded
to be a measure of capacity. A large
eye has wider range of vision, as it I'M
questionably has of expression, than
small one. A large eye will take in more
at a glance, though perhaps with less at
tention to details, than small one.
Generally speaking, large eyes see
things in general, and small eyes in par
ticular. The one sees many things as a
whole, considering them in philosophi-
cal or speculative way, often seeing
through and beyond them; the other sees
fewer things, but usually looks keenly
into them, and is appreciative of detail
Some eyes, however, look at everything
and yet see nothing. Fullness of the
eye, causing bullying of the lower eye
lid, is well known sign of language.
Persons with this sign large have
not only speaking eye but
also speaking tongue, whereof
their fellows do not long re-
main in ignorance. A general proiec-
ton or fullness of the eve above and
below, which brings the eye-ball for
ward on line with the face and eye

whatever appears upon the surface Of
things. A person with such an eye,
would, on entering room for the first
time, note rapidly the shape, size, ar
rangement and general appearance of the
different articles of furniture in it, the
color of the walls, curtains, ornaments,
etc.; take in with equal facility the fea-
lures, color of the hair and eyes, size and
appearance of any person who might be
present. In looking at a picture such a
person would at once incline to examine
the details of color, number. grouping,
attitude and costume of the figures COM

WHISKY DRINKING AT SARATOGA
There is less whisky being drunk in Sar-
atoga this season than ever, and yet the
visitors are not on the high road to a
place of total abstinence. The whisky
sold is better by 10 per cent and cheaper
by 20 per cent. than it was in 1879, but
still the people don't drink it, and cham
pagne and claret, with an occasional bot
tie of Burgundy, the swell thing now,
have become the popular tipple. Don't
all, they do, and drink lots of it. OF the
line of thirsty men saw at the Congress
Hall bar just now, eight were taking
whisky straight, two groups we're drink
ing Piper=H Heidsieck, and tall onllege
youth was toying with one end of straw
whose other end was buried deep in a
lovely milk punch. There are five places
here where there is much drinking, the
bars of the Grand Union, United States,
Congress Hall and Clarendon hotels and
at Morrissey's gambling house. During
racing season $3.50 is fair average re-
turn over each of these bars per day, but
at other times it falls off to about $50.
Drinking over the hotel bars is at its
height from ] In the afternoon till 8
o'clock, when many people go to drive,
and after that from 7 until ABOUT II
o'clock. Wine drinking here is grow
ing fashion, and it seems to be catching.
People come here to idle away their
time; to drink water at the springs in the
morning and smoke on the piazzas in the
forenoon; to dine and drive in the after
noon and evening, and therefore, having
much leisure, wine drinking becomes
with many Of them only the effect OF an
idle and in some cases weak mind, reach
ing out for occupation. Saratoga Let

HELMINTHoLoaY.-Of late years no de-
partment of natural history has attract
ed more attention than that of the study
Of internal parasites in man and other
animals. TO the great multitude and
variety of creatures thus found, associat-
ed by one common habit Of life, have
biologists given the general name of Hell
minths, which are peculiar fauna des-
tined at some time in their lives to occu-
py an equally peculiar territory. That
territory is the widespread domain OF
the interior of living animal bodies to
which, alas, poor humanity forms no ex-
ception. It is unpleasant to think that
we may at any time become prey to these
dangerous and mischievous depredators.
We were lead to these reflections by o
recent visit to DIR. Van Denberg's office,
when he had just completed the expuI-
sion of go worms from Mr. Lehman,
who stated that he had suffered for -
years. They were all small, about one
and half inches in length, excepting
one-a nondescript about three inches
long, an attrocious rascal of forbidding
appearance. DIR. Van Denberg is the

ABOUT TIE NATIONAL BOARD OF HEALTH.
The National Board of HEALTH" so
often mentioned in Memphis dispatches,
is an institution not six months old. Yet
no less than three acts and q resolution OF
Congress have been needed to set it in
operation. The act creating it was
approved on the Sd of March last. Seven
citizen members, appointed by the Presi
dent and paid ten dollars for each days
actual service, and four officers, detailed
from the departments and serving with
out other pay than their general salaries,
compose that Board. 1t is designed to be
sort of sanitary commission" super
vising, from Washington as headquar-
ters, health matters throughout the coun-
try, SO tar rs State authorities may per-
NIT. At first little else was given it to do
than to collect information and to "ad.
wise" the departments at Washington and
Governors of States upon questions relat-
ing to public health. More recently
somewhat specific duties have been as
signed. In view of the danger of inn
porting disease from abroad, law
passed in June says that when contag-
ious or infectious disease is known to ex-
ist in any foreign port, the National Board
of Health may make rules to be preserved
by any vessels wishing to come to this
country, ana may nave medlcal oIncer
stationed at such port for the time being,
and no vessel shall leave for America
without a certificate from that medical
officer showing her sanitary condition,
and that she has complied with her whole
duty. Then, as to the danger of carrying
diseases from one place within the United
States to another, the National Board of
Health is to cooperate with State authori-
ties in improving and enforcing quaran-
tine rules; or. If the State authorities do
not act, the National Board may prepare
proper rules, and if these are approved by
the President, he may have them en-
forced Then, again, the Consups reports
of the sanitary condition of foreign ports,
which used to be made to the Supervising
Surgeon General, are now directed to be
made to the National Board, and this
Board is also to procure weekly reports
from representative places all over this
country. One of the very last acts of the
recent session was to establish permanent
offices for the Board; and the various ap-
preparations which were made to enable
it to perform its duties foot up nearly
5000, ,000.-N. y. Times.

COATING AN ORELIsK.-The famous
Egyptian obelisk, which was recently set
mp on the banks of the Thames, and
which it was found would rapidly become
disorganized by the action of the pecu-
liar atmosphere, has been coated with
silicious wash, which, it is believed, will
successfully protect its surface for years.
The effect of the process, it is said, has
surpassed expectation, and is only to be
compared to the restoration of an old oil
painting. The obelisk now appears as Il
just chiseled from the rock, showing its
original colors, the quartz and fe1dspar
glittering in the sunlight The intaglio
also comes out much more distinctly than
before.

WHAT THE BANK DIRECTORS sAY.-At o
meeting held day or two since of var
ious bank directors of Portland, the
question arose as to what was the reason
of the increase of their deposits. A
shrewd director solved the question by
saying that heretofore the people had
been compelled to pay % cents for lunch,
but since the opening of the now famous
Pine Street Coffee House in Portland
they had been enabled to save Is cents
on each lunch, and by this arrangement
they were enabled to make both ends
meet, and put the extra money to their
credit in the various banks.
