The Army Worm.

Professor CoDstock, the entomolOgist
of the Agricultural Department, after
visit to Delaware, where he investi
gated the worm, has just made report,
in which be says. "The adult insect
is night flying moth OF a dull brown
color, marked in the centre Of each fore
wing with a distinct white spot, and
with an expanse of wing of little over
an inch and three quarters. Z.
The moth deposits her eggs in folds of
leaves or grass or grain, nearly always
concealing them from sight. During
winters of unusual mildpess a success

worms, with accounts of damage to
winter grain in the months Of Decem-
Der, January and February, from To-
calities as far north as Union county,
South Carolina, and Marion county,
Tennessee Ordinarily, however, in
these States, and always further north,
the insect lies dormant through the win

and chrysals states. In either case, as
soon as the weather becomes warm, in
the spring, the moths emerge from their
pupal cases or their alternating quar-

To Check DinrrhGa.

Diorrhea is complaint that the human
family sufferers more from at this time of
the yeao than from any other, and should be
treated very carefully in order to restore the
bowels to their proper strength. There is a
wine made in New Jersey and sold by our
druggists, called Speer's Port Grape Wine,
which is being used very successfully in
dlarrhea cases. In fact, it is conceded by
chemists to contain just such properties as
gradually check the fermentiEg in the bow

A carpenter, who was always prognosti-
eating evil to himself, was one day upon
the roof OF a five story building upon which
rain had fallen. The roof being slippery he
lost his footing, and as he was descending
toward the caves, he exclamed: "Just as l
told you!" Catching, however, in an iron
spout, he kicked off his shoes and regained
a place of safety, when he thus delivered
himself: al know'd it; there's pair Of shoes
