Strength Of Insects,

The following are striking illustrations
OF the superhuman strength with which
the commonest insects are endowed. The
common flea, as every one knows, will,
without much apparent effort, jump two
hundred times its own length, and sever
al grasshoppers and locuts are said to be
able to perform leaps quite as wonderful.
In the case of the insect they scarcely ex-
cite our notice; but if man were coollv
to take standing leap of three hundred
and eighty odd yards, which would be an
equivalent exertion Of muscular power,
perhaps our admirers of athletic sports
might be rather startled at such a per

but what are we to say to the little fly OBJ

six inches in a second, and in the space
was calculated to have made one thousand
and eighty steps? This, according to cal
culation, is as if man whose steps meas
ured only two feet, should run at in
credible rate of twenty miles in minute
Equally surprising are the instances of in :

Death in q Mans Bite.

Is man a poisonous animal? It
would seem so when he is very angry,
and that he poisons those he bites. as
other beasts often do. Every once in a
while the press records case of some
body dying from the bite of man. and
the cases appear to be we'll authenticated.
The latest instance was in Washington.
where Peter McNamra died from the bite
of one Danaher, with whom he had had q
fight two months bfeore. The physician
discovered poison in his blood, and ampu-
tated the finger on which the brute had
fastened his teeth. The poison had
spread, however, to the arm, which would
also have been removed had the sufferer
been able, in the opinion of the surgeon.
to endure 1t. Deaths Of this sort demand
investigation of the abiest physicians.
II we can impart mortal poison by. our
bite; but, if it were, we might be as
dangerous as mad dogs. There has been
vast deal of discussion lately on the
subject of hydrophobia, some medical
authorities maintaining that such disease
can be engendered by the canine species.
Can hydrophobia or aught approaching it
be communicated by human species?
we certainly need light on this point.
II man IS Capable Of rabies and of con-
veylng it by bite, it would appear to be
new argument in favor Of evolution.

Pneumonia.

There are few diseases in which special
treatment adapted to Individual cases is
more important than IN pneumonia; for
the measures that would be salutary in
one case would oe injurious, or even fatal,
in another. In the belief, therefore, that
such general directions as could be given
in the limited scope Of this article would
be likely to do quite as much harm as
good, the few remaining remarks shall re-
fer to the office of nurse rather than to
that Of doctor: The patient should lie
with his shoulders somewhat elevated. In
protracted and debilltated cases, his posi-
ton should be changed occasionally, in
order to prevent the setting of the blood
in any part Of the lungs. Care should be
taken to expose the chest and body as
little as possible. The air OF the sick
room should be of uniform tempera.
ture, and warm, yet purified by sufficient
ventilation. In early stages, what little
diet the patient can take should be fari-
naceous drinks, such as gum water, bar
ley-water, thin Cruel, to which may be
added a decoction OF ripe fruit, or the
juice Of oranges or fresh grapes, the in
digestible portion being carefully rejected.
AS the fever abates, give tea, with toasted
bread or crackers, or a little rice; then In
dian mush, milk, broths, lighter meats,
eggs, oysters. In this. as in other dis
eases, nature powerfully aids sound
constitution, and, with good nursing, lit
tie medical treatment will very often
suffice.

Reform in Mourning.

From tho Home Journal.
Rev. Mr.. Macleod of Philadelphia con-
tends that there is neither health, sense,
nor religion in full mourning. He tells
his congregation that bit of black rib
bon, worn IN some way, will indicate be-.
reavement just as we'll as a complete
mourning suit. A bit of Grape on the
bell-pull gives the hint to those who pass
by, and it is not considered necessary to
cover the whole front with black drapery
Why, then, will not bit of ribbon on
cloak or coat answer the purpose, and a
weight OF useless expense, and costume
that is always gloomy and, in warm
weather, very uncomfortable, be taken
from bereaved mourners9 Christians. he
is convinced, ought not to take gloomy
view of death. There are glorious hopes
linked with the sorrows, and the hopes of
those who are gone before should be SYM
bolized rather than the sorrows of those
who are left behind. He would have
cheerful garments worn by mourners in
token Of the triumph Of the glorifed ones,
| and bit of ribbon or Grape as a simple
memorial Of their own sense of 'bereave-
ment. The rest of the full mourning he
would send to the heather, who, in their
sorrow at the grave, have no hope. The
Rev. DR.. Bartol. of Boston, referred re-
| Gently to the same subject in his Sunday
sermon. He said our. funerals are too
| sad. With unceasing trust we should
disuse the black apparel and the Grape at
the door, for those whose reappearance
we figure with psalm and hymns, ADD
harps and white robes. Our gloom accuses
our faith; we shall ceases to close the
shutters and blinds, and exclude the sun,
| as if there could be condition in Gods
providence when the sun is unwelcome,
| when we come to feel death as good as
life and as natural as birth. Our machinery
| of the event will be no longer deed Of
darkness from which the children of the
house must be kept away, in terror Of
Imagination, exceeding all that presence
would bring. They cannot construe the
secret and mystery which we make in
our parlor as respect; but we shall have a
| cheerful and expectant parting with the
one taken, whom the young may miss az
| much as the old.

Removing Iron Rust and stains.

twenty -four hours; then rinse off in luke.
warmssoft water. This. always removes the
rust, but it is rather lengthy process
A friend told me another method, that !

it is less work and care. Dampen the
spot with cold rain or spring water, and
spread thin coating of oxalic acid over
the spot; use either a pen knife or tea
spoon handle to spread it on; let it lie
either in the sun or in warm place by
the stove fifteen or twenty minutes; then
rinse in pure waten and the stain will be
gone It will also remove the staine
from tablecloths and napkins, or ink spots
from clothing. 1t is always convenient
and an ounce kept in tightly -corked
vial will do great amount in the clean
ing. 1t is an important item to have II
carefully labeled and kept where children
cannot possibly reach it. Spirits OF
turpentlne will remove ink from thick
fulled cloth and broadcloth, without dam
aging the goods. For removing wheel,
grease Or paint, either kerosene oil OF
spirits Of turpentine rubbed on the spot
and left a few minutes, then washed off
with soapsuds, will take off the substance
entirely, On goods that will wash, apply
lye soap to the spots, after soaking few
minutes in the kerosene or turpent1ne,
and it will rub cut without any trouble.
For paint stains, clear boiling water,
poured on the spot, will, with slight
rinising, remove them entirely. For
grass stains warm sweet milk to soak in
a few minutes, will take it all out; rinse
in pure water. For leather stains OF
hosiery, spirits of ammonia will be found

The Dog and Child.

Mr.. Elihu Burritt gives in his book,
called "a Walk from London to Land
End and Back" a touching ILLUSTRATION
OF the affection Of dog in Truro:
81 was sitting at the breakfast table OF
friend, who is druggist, when he was
called out by a neighbor, who had come
for medical advice and aid. and in very
remarkable and affecting case.
He described it briefly and simply, but
it would fill volume of beautiful mean
ing. His family dog had incidently
made the acquaintance of neighbours
child on the other side of the street.
While lying on the door stone, he had
noticed the little thing, sometimes at the
chamber window, and sometimes on the
pavement, in little carriage.
During one of his walks on that side
Of the street, he met the baby, and looked
over the rim of the basket carriage, as
loving dog can look, straight into pair
Of baby eyes, and said "Good morning ~
as we'll as he could.
Little by little, day by day, and week
by week, this companionship went on,
growing with the growth, and strength
ening with the strength of the little one.
The dog, doubtless because his master
had no young child of his own, came at
last to transfer frequently his watch and
ward to the door stone on the other side
of the street, to follow as guard of hon
or the .baby's carriage on its daily air
ings. yJ
With what delight he gave himself up
to all the peltings, and little rude romp-
ings, and rough and -tumbings, of those
baby hands. One day, as the dog lay in
watch by the door-stone, the child peeps
ing out Of the window above, lost its bal
ance, and fell on the stone pavement be-
low. it never breathed again. It was
taken up quite dead! The red drobs of
the young life had despatched the feet
and face of the dog as he sprang to the
rescue. His heart died out within him
in one long whining moan Of grief. From
that moment he refused to eat. He re-
fused to be comforted by his masters
voice andtby his masters home. Dsy by
day, and night by night, he lay upon the
spot where the child fell.
This was the neighbours errand. He
told it in a few simple words. He had
come to my friend, the druggist, for a
prescription for his dog something to
bring back his appetite.

One WOman's Remarkable Career.

The Boston correspondent Of the New
Bedford Mercury writes: Until very re-
Gently, there was an old, bent and wrink-
led woman to be seen any day on one of
our principal thorougfares 'down town, :"
curled up behind meager, dyspeptic
little handorgan, patiently grinding out
the most dismal and doletul sounds that
ever this democratic instrument was
made to yield, and looking wistfully at
the little tin cup which was usually very
destitute of pennies, and to which silver
was an utter stranger; but if this poor old
creatures history had been known, there
would have been few passers-by who
would not have had moment, a glance
and dime for this forlorn being, in
whose dull brain 1urked so many con-
ficting memories.
In her days Of youth and beauty, this
woman bore name and title which
her ancestors had celebrated through
centuries. She was an acknowledged
leader of fashion and wealth in her own
sunny Italy; every wish and caprice of a
tickle fancy was satisfied; lovers bowed
at her feet, and even royalty itself was
not insensible to her destinations. But
unfortunately for this pet of fortune, she
was ambitious, and the dangerous politi-
cal intrigues of that day and country had
charms for her which she could not with
stand. The party to which she had at
tached herself had its day-a bright and
glorious one-but the night of disaster
followed, and all the leaders were obliged
to ice into exile to save their lives. From
this moment fate was unpropitious to the
woman who had never known a want or
sorrow. She sank step by step, she
wandered from one land to another, until
at last in her lonely and unhappy old age
she drifted to our city, where she fought
death and starvation with her poor little
handorgan for time, but her enemies

Lake DWellerS.

From Nature.
The remains of another lake village
have just been brought to light at Lorcas
by the shrinkage Of the waters Of the
Lake of Bienne. This appears to be one
of the most interesting discoveries of the
sort we have had for some time, rich as
has been the last few weeks in notable
iacustrine finds. The station at Lorcas,
assigned by experts tot the age of stone, is
situated at a short distance from the lake
shore, not far from another and similar
station Which was explored in 1878. An
exploration conducted by DR.. Gross. of
Neuveville, has resulted in the gathering
of many novel and interesting objects,
pierced stone hatchets. similar to those
found in Denmark, large flint lance
heads, jade hatchets, with stag horn and
wooden hafts,. fastened with pitch; YES
sells in wood, among others colander,
and vase in good state Of preservation
Near these were found several arms and
instruments of pure copper, circum-
stance which points to the probability
that intermediate between the age of
bronze and the age of stone was period
when prehistoric man had not discovered
the artof allowing copper with tin. This
was the age of copper. Still more remark
able is find of human skulls which bear
unmistakable marks of having been ire
Panned. Ronnd pieces have been cut out,
doubtless after death, as is supposed, for
use as amulets. In some instances pieces
were cut from the eraniums of living in
+ tants in order, as M. Broca conjectures,
to let out the spirit by whose malignant
influence they were afflicted with fits, con-
vulsions and other maladies. These bits
of Infants skulls were sometimes used in
way OF which an example has been found
at Lorcas; they were put inside the heads
to protect them from the wi,es and as
saults of evil beings in the world OF
spirits.
