Points in Favor Of Clothes Moths.

Clothes moths, it is easy to see, can
Go no harm to the naked savage, but
not so easy is it to comprehend that they
can be OF any benefit to civilized man.
Yet the whole tribe of clothes moths are
of inestimable service to mankind,
whether naked savage or broad-cloth-
wearing Europeans. In the first place.
let 1t be remembered that so long as
WOODEN cloths are in Use the moth never
touches them: but if slowed away in
trunks and not put to use by mau, the
moth comes and uses them for itself.
Man does his best-or worst-to waste
the gifts Of God, but He who made
both the recipient and the gift abhors
waste, and fixes limits to mans power
of wasting. Where is all the wool that
sheep have furnished since sheep were
createdl Every year it is removed
from the sheep, either artifcial!y by
man or in the ordinary curse Of nature,
just as birds mott their plumage. Now,
hair is all but imperishable, as may be
seen in the Egyptian wig in the British
museum. Three thousand years have
passed since it was shorn, and yet it is
as bright and glossy as when it left the
hands OF the maker. If the wool had
been suffered to remain untouched till
the present day and choked up the face
of the habitable earth. But whether
used by man or not, it has still been
used, and has returned to the earth
whence it came. Even in our own
country it is interesting to trace the re-
turn OF the wool to its parent earth.
The greater part is used by man as
clothing. If he cease to use it, the
clothes moths, museum beetles, and their
kin attack it, and before long have. de-
,oured it, so that it again returns to
earth. Some of it is torn off by bram-
bles and left hanging to the prickles;
but it is not wasted. The little birds
carry it off and use it for their nests as
long as it is capable of acting as a warm,
soft bed for the eggs and young. After
ward, when the birds have left it, the
moths and beetles come to it and devour
it, just as they devour wooden clothes.
If they did not do so the branches of
every tree would be so clogged with
nests hat the leaves could not grow and
the tree would perish. Strange, indeed,
are the analogies of nature.

The Prince Imperial's Death.

The new information which has been
CLEANED from the Zulus, by the English
General Wood, as to The circumstances
attending the death of the young prince
imperial in South Africa, proves that
when escape was hopeless the brave
young fellow faced his enemies like a
lion and fought desperately to the last.
1t was only a missten in trying to mount
his horse which cost the prince his life.
Doubtless he had practised mounting
horses from his childhood, yet at the
moment when of all others experiences
would have proved its value and deliv-
cred him from his enemies, he failed
w~retchedly, his horse escaped and he was
left to face two score of savages who
were closing in upon him and thirsting
for his blood. There were but twelve
Zulus after the prince personally and
eight of them only were concerned in his
death. We do not recall at this writing
the number Of his escort, but it was GER
tainly large enough to have made a gal
liant defense and possibly to have driven
the savages back if its members had ex-
hibited an atom of chivalry and courage.
The impression prevailed at the time the
prince was killed that the energy warm
ed around the party. But as there were
but forty, half dozen British soldiers,
ar ned and deciplined and well directed,
ought to have been able to have kept
them at bay long enough for the prince
to escape. Instead Of that it was every
mar for himself and the devil, in the
shape of eight Zulus, take the hindmost,
who happened to be the prince imperial.
Such cowardice among such men is III
comprehensive.

Phenomena on the Gulf Coast.

Our quiet seaside resort was thrown
into u state of unusual excitement this
evening by the appearance Of several
waterspouts. The day had been unusu-
ally warm and sultry, the thermometer
rising to 95'. AT 5 P. NJ. a dark cloud
was driven over the town by a wind
from the north. This cloud was mar
shalled in dense dark ranks, between
which played bright flashes of lightning.
When the front rank had passed over
the water TO a distance of several miles
in front of the Pass, there was seen a
dark column extending from the cloud
to the water. The top of this column
was connected with the lower surface of
the cloud, and was shaped like the larger
end of a funnel. The cloud seemed to
be emptying itself into this funnel. At
first the density of the cloud was about
equal at all points, but after seeming to
pour into the funnel for some time the
section nearest the column became light
and almost disappeared. The main
body of the column was dark and round.
At the bottom it widened into a form
somewhat resembling the top, except
that it was larger and lighter, present
ing the appearance Of spray thrown out
of a fountain. In a few minutes other
columns were formed, until there had
been at least five within a short distances
of each other. Some of these resem-
bled the first, while others were much
smaller and were without an visible en-
largement at the bottom. As the cloud
moved they all changed their form and
position. The largest at one time was
SO broken that it presented the form of
a log broken in such a manner as to
have lost the central portion of the end,
so that only a large prong hung down
on either side. Through this long
shaped figure there seemed to pour a
stream OF water, which, upon nearing
the lake, was broken into a mass of
spray. All of these columns seemed to
be formed by the meeting in mid-air of
the descending column of cloud and The
ascending column of water. The
forces which set them in motion are
supposed to have been heat, wind and
electricity. Some who observed them
thought they could discover a rotary
motion. To some the water seemed to
ascend, while to others it appeared to
descend. We were permitted to enjoy
the scene for about half an hour, when
the cloud and its water spouts changed
into a heavy shower of rain. The Their
mometer fell to 7So, and the weather
continued cool during the entire night.

Advice to the Girls.

First cultivate industrious habits be
willing to work, and try to do your
work thoroughly. 1t is not enough to
be busy we must do our work well.
To be thorough in study, to be thorough
in all work, ought to be the aim of
every girl, not less than every boy. Our
methods Of female education have en-
couraged supericiality rather than thor
oughness we have given our girls smat-
terings of many things, and mastery of
few things. After thoroughness, indie
pendence. A habit of relying on our
own judgment, a habit of thinking for
Yourself, not selfshly, but in a true
womanly fashion, habit Of taking re-
sponsibility and bearing it bravely-is
Of the habits hat women as well as
men need cultivate. Your parents
ought to give you some chance to form
this habit it is a mistake to shield a
girl from all care, and then, by-and-by
when the helpers On whom she has
leaned fall by her side, to leave her with
Judgment unframed, and powers undis-
ciplined. 70 carry the burdens Of life.
A woman should have self-reliance as
well as a man.

Ducks as Fly Catchers.

When a caa is thoroughly interested
in something he is reading a very insig-
nificant horse-hv can sometimes worry
him a great deal. The other day one
of the officials in a municipal Office was
reading. A fly alighted OIL his cheek,
crawled up the side of his nose, and
there stood fast and fastened it talons
in the tender %cuticle. The olfactory or
gan was slightly elevated so as to break
into wrinkles, while at the same time a
mild brushing movement of the hand
signaled the troublesome insect to move
away. 1t just jumped out about a foot
and settled back into its former location
inside of a second.
The first clutch with its claws brought
recognition in the shape of a very en-
ergetic sparring back and forth in front
of the official countenance, but the fly
hardly waited for the disturbance to
subside when he was again snugly be-
slowed on tho nasal prominence, The
persistence of the insect had worn out
the patience of the man, and he broke
out tiercely, "D- the flies
The fly may or may not have under
stood the exclamation, but aquiet stran-
ger who had just dropped in did under
stand it, and he remarked in tones of
the most irritating composure, on tell
you what's good for flies"
"Well, what's good for fiiesi' snapped
out the official.
"Ducks."
"Ducksl'
eyes, ducks. Ont to the Lindell car
stables we keep ducks. The flies worry
the horses mighty bad at this time Of
the year, but a car horse can rest easy
at the Lindell stables"
"And how is thatf' asked the official,
becoming Interested.
why, they Just have plenty of ducks,
l tell you. Didn't you ever see a duck
snap a hyl Whenever the flies get thick
on a horse The ducks gather round and
snap every fy that comes N reach. If
a horse lies down the ducks just crawl
all over him. The horses mighty soon
find out who their friends are, and they
like to have the ducks come. In fact,
if the flies get bad the horses will lie
down to give the ducks chance. They
are so industrious that they keep the
flies pretty well thinned out. I tell you
there's nothing like ducks for flies"

So little going on, you know;
AND girls, OF coutse, can never row

But she still smiled on, while passing fair
The sunlight played on her golden hair.

An Italian professor has made some very
agreeable medical researches, resulting in the
discovery that vegetable perfumes exercise q
positively hcathGul influence on the atmos-
phere converting its oxygen into ozone, and
thus increasing its oxidizng influences. The
essences found TO develop the largest quantity
of ozone are those Of the cherry, laurel, clover,
lavender, mint, Juniper, fenuel aud bergumot;
those that give IL in similar quantities arc
anise nutmeg aud thyme. The flowers Of tho
narcissus, hyacinth, mignonotte, heliotropC
and ly-of-the-valey develop ozone Ia closed
vessels. Flowers destitute of perfume do not
develop it, and those which have slight per
fumc develop it only in small quantities
Reasoning from these facts, the professor rec
commended the cultivation Of flowers in
marshy districts, and in ali places infested
with animal emanatious, on account Of tho
powerful oxidizing influences of ozone. The
inhabitants of such regions should, he says
surround their houses with beds of the most
odorous flowers.
