ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.

The perfection with which the human
li:.b Is counicricitcd by makers Of arti-
fetal legs and arms is indeed surprising,
and the ease and grace with which they
are worn by many persons, especially
young people, are not astonishing. The
young boy in the senate at Albany who
wears two artificial legs, and walks,
runs, skates and jumps with them as nat
urally rs other boys do all these things
with their own Limits, is an instance in
point. a reporter Of the St. Louis
GIobc- D,mof,al asked an artificial limb
manufacturer il many ladies were en-
braced in his list Of customers, and re.
ceived the following rs 4 reply.
"Wcll, sir, | make about 400 Of these
limbs every year, and you'd be aston.
ishcd TO know how many Of them are
for female use. Ladies are much more
difficult to please than gentlemen in
this respect, but a.: happy to say that
ont of-say fiity-that I've suited, you
wouldn't be able to tell ten by their
walk on the street. There is in St.
Louis to day." continued the anatomi-
cal artist, with touch Of mystery in his
tone, ga fashionable lady, whose name
you would at once recognize were to
mention II she has considerable per.
sonal attractions, not the least Of which
are her graceful figure and easy carriage,
and is constant frequenter of high
toned balls, where her dancing is inva-
riably the subject Of admiration to all.
And suppose that not a single person
in the city, outside Of her own house.
hold and your informant, has the least
doubt but that she is model Of physi-
cal perfection. But many years ago,
while yet girl, she was scriouslyinjured
in a railroad collision down South. In
spite Of all that medical skill could do,
amputation or death was soon perceived
to be the only alternative. One Of her
lower limbs was removed and an artificial
substitute procured from Paris. Owing
to little accident which occurred at a
large ball held here about a month ago.
and which slightly damaged the me-
chanism OF the sham limb, it's possessor
happened to be in need Of my services,
and can tell you was never so much
astonished in my life as when that pref
ty, dainty-stepping creature told me
what she wanted"

THE HOUSE WREN AS AN INSECT
DESTROYER.

The observation have been able to
make during 4 residence Of several
years on farm, have convinced me that
the common house wren is really one OF
our most valuable birds, not, perhaps,
for what they have done, but from the
possibilities wrapped up in their dimin-
utive bodies. They are quite rs socia
BILE as the purple martin or blue bird,
and greatly surpass both Of these in the
rapidity in which they increase. be-
gan several years ago to provide them
with resting places in the vicinity of my
buildings. Sometimes ] fastened the
skull OF horse or OK, or a small box, in
tree top. But latterly have made it
practice every Spring to obtain thirty
or forty cigar boxes for the purpose. -
II the box is long and large, put a
partition across the middle and make 4
whole through into each apartment. 1t
is very seldom tha, these boxes are not
occupied by one of these little families.
In most instances two broods are an
nually reared in each nesting place
One OF my boxes last season turned out
three broods Of young wrens-six little
hungry birds each time, or eighteen in
all ! think cigar box never before
did better duty. The lamented Robert
kennicott stated that a single pair of
wrens carried to their young about 4
thousand insects in 4 single day Like
all young, growing birds, they are
known to be most voracious eaters, liv-
ing entirely upon insects. The point
upon which most stress may be laid is
thus: That by providing them with
nesting places, in our gardens, orchards
or grounds, and not allowing them to
be caught by cats or scared away by
mischievous boys, we may have scores
if not hundreds of them about during
most Of the time in which insects are
destructive. They undoubtedly return
to the same localities to rear their young
year after year. last season had up
about thirty Of these nesting boxes, and
all but two or three, which were not
favorably located, were occupied. My
crop OF wrens could scarcely have been
less than one hundred and fifty, and the
old birds filled the air with music when
they were not on duty in building their
nests or feeding their young. The COM
iEg spring intend to put up a; least a
hundred Of these nesting boxes in my
orchards and groves, and | have no
doubt shall be repaid hundred thous-
and fold for the labor it costs. Aslong
as they come back so regularly every
year and in constantly increasing num-
bcrs, and serve me so we'll, shall do all
in my power to protect and encourage
them. And am OF the opinion that
when one species Of social, useful birds
can be made to congregate in such un-
usual numbers, Others will come also.-
But the hardness, sociability, love of the
locality where it was reared, and won
derful fccundity of the little house wren,
render it, in my Judgment, one of the
most valuable OF all our inscciivcrous
birds. ls.-amy1fan Naf1,aha.

THE GOOD ~ OLD TINES.

Ii sounds very poetical TO say "thc
good old tines" but if we should be
strictly truthful, having an eye upon the
actual rather than upon the sentimental,
We should be more inclined to designate
them as the "mean old times" especi-
ally il, by some powerful freak of nature,
We should be taken up and set back
among the days that fell to the lot of
those who were men and women when
our grandparents were little children
II is no wonder that Benjamin franklin,
with his prophetic vision, wished il had
been his destiny be born two or three
centuries later. Think of the journeys
then requiring days, that may now be
accomplished in as many hours, and
with far more comfort. Think of sitting
in church winter after winter without
the cheerful light Of fire /; save that
which was kindled in the imagination
by the glowing eloquence of the preach
or, as he described the torments Of the
''damned." Think Of paying forty or
fifty dollars year for newspaper, and
think, also Of the beggarly little sheet
| and all its meagcr qualities Think OF
living without friction match in the
house, or ooth-brush, or carpet, OF
gaslight, or furnaces, or sewing ma
chine, or doing without overshoes and
umbrellas, and thousand other things
that we call necessities. II is startling
to consider the multitude Of things,
small and great, that we possess, which
contribute to our comfort, our welfare,
our case, our enjoyment, that were ut
terly unknown to our innocent grand
fathers, and never could have entered
their dreams. The spirit Of progress
consul,s our convenience and multiplics
advantages in every direction, enhanc-
ing the charms Of life, diminishing its
pains, and inviting us to come welcome
and enjoy its innumerable gifts.
sB-Says the Hasakeye solemly: "Yes,
daughter you should go somewhere this
summer. You can't stay at home dur
ing warm weather and live. To be sure
your mother, who hasn't been out of
town since she was married, can stand
il, but then she is old-fashioned and
doesn't know any better, and besides
she has fun enough doing the washing
and ironing. BY all means so. Get a
linen duster and a basket and go at once.
