An Indian Pest.

One of Indias pests is the metallic blue
fly. You sink the legs of your furniture
into metallic sockets filed with water
and salt, and pack your clothing in
tight tin boxes, to prevent the incursions
of the white ants; but you have no rem
edy against the metallic blue fly, which
fills every crevice, every key hole, and
every key itself with clay. This fly is an
artistic as well as an industrious worker
and he works always with an object. He
first selects hole, a keyhole or an empty
space in any metallic substance is pre-
ferred but in the absence of any such
material the holes in the bottom of
cane-seat chair, or any perforated wood
will answer the purpose. After seeing
that the hole is clean and in good order,
he commences operations by laying on
the bottom n smooth carpet of clay; then
the bodies of several defunct spiders
are triunphantly placed upon the clay
carpet. On top of these spiders the eggs
of the female fly are deposited. The
tomb is then ready for closing The top
is nearly covered over with the clay, but
it still has an unfinished look. This is
rcmcdied by thin coat of whitewash,
and then the fly looks upon his work
and pronounces it good. When this
tomb is opened there are more metal;c
blue flies in the world than there were
before. You are anxious to examine or
wear some of your vauables, which you
always keep under lock and key,
and you take your key and endeavor
to unlock you trunk, but it is only an
endeavor There is resistance in the
key hole, and resistance in the key it.
self. You examine the key and find that
it is nicely sealed up with clay, and the
key hole is in the same condition. 1t is
a work of patience to destroy the nurs
cry of the poor insect and lay his castle
in ruins; but determined will can ac-
complish much. Cane seated chairs are
sometimes so occupied by these clay
homes as to make it hard TO determine
what the original substance was.

Sir Gardner Wilkinson aflirms that
teeth stopped with gold have been found
in Egyptian mummies, and other learned
gentlemen hold vigorously that the thing
is an impossibilty Dr. John Gaigor,in
the interesting discussion going on in
The British Medical Journal, says that
in the Etruscan Museum of Corneto, the
ancient Tarquinia OF Etrurio, and few
hours distance from Rome, he has seen
teeth in skull bound togetherb threads
of gold cleverly twisted in and out
same thing in museums in the Vatican
and elsewhere. From these facts he pre-
sumes it is quite probable the ancient
Egyptians had more or less skillful den
lists. His deduction is supported by a.
gentleman who is positive that he once
saw in the Meyer Museum, in Liverpool,
the jawbone of mummified Egyptian in
which a number of teeth We're secured
by golden wire 1t is also claimed
that the Hindoos 600 years ago, knew
something about the art of binding to-
gether teeth that were disposed to aban-
don each others company. Mr. Briggs,
in his ''Rise and Fall of the Mohamme-
dan Power in India" describes battle
in which Kootub -ooi-Din, the famous
general of Mohammed Ghery, who built
the kootub, tower which rises near
Delhi to height that makes it one of
the most beautiful wonders of the world,
slew with an arrow a powerful rajah,
whose corpse was afterwards identiie ed,
according to the writings of Ferishta, by
his artificial teeth, which were bound to-
gether by wires of gold.

God KneM the lIest.


Sometime, when all HES lessons have been
learned
And suns and stars forever IN IRE have set,
The things which our weak judgments here have
spurncd,
The things DER which we grleved with laShe
wet,
WIN flash before u.s. amid lies dark night,
AS stars shine most in deeper tlnts OF blue,
And we shall sec how all Gods plans were right,
And what seemed most rcprOof was love mos,
true.
And we shall sec how, while we frown and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me;
How, ~hen we called, lie needed not our cry.
Because His wisdom to the end could sec,
And cen as prudent parents disaow
Too much of sweet TO craving babyhood,
SO God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
LIES sweetest things because 1t seemoth good.
And you shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift cod sends his friends!
And that sometimes the sable pail OF death
ConcellS the faircst boon his love can send
II we could push ojlr the gates of life
ANA stand withn and all Gods working see,
We coul interpret all this d1uot and strife,
And for each mystery and there is a key.
But not to-day: Then be content poor heart,
Gods plans, like lnles pure aud white unfold;
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart,
Time will reveal the calyNes of gold,
And If thro' patient toll, we reach the land
Where tired feet, with san lals lo)scd, may rest,
Where we shall clearly know and understand,
think that we shall say,"Gol knew the best"

A very singular accident occurred in
a Cleveland hotel the other day. One of
the diningroom girls at the high-toned
coffee house of Strive tS Sweat was stand
ing near the door talking with the head
clerk of the Cheatem House. To shield
her fair face from the suns rays she made
an awning of her little hand Among the
bands of gold that cncased her fingers
was one containing a solitary diamond
about the size of Il doorknob. A sun
beam struck it and glanced to n cores
ponding knob on the shirt froat of the
hotel clerk it melted the setting of the
pin and the stone fell,striking the young
man on the left foot, breaking two of
his toes. The bystanders say that before
descending to his shirt front the reflected
ray from the young lady's ring played
around the young mans cheek, but a
careful examination shows that it left
no trace there of its intense heat.

1t has, no doubt, been mystery to
many how the iron ball inside of sleigh
bells got there, and it is said to have
taken considerable thought on the part
of the discoverer before the idea struck
him. In making sleigh bells the
iron ball is put inside a sand core, Just
the shape of the inside of the bell This
sand core, with its jinglet inside, is
placed in the mould of the outside, and
the melted metal is poured in, which
fills up the space between the core and
mould The hot metal burns the core so
that it all can be shaken out, leaving
the ball within the shell. Ball valves,
swivel joints, and many other articles
are cast in the same manner,-Sc -ScieatifC

Prince Jsrame's Appeal to the Nation.
 PARIS, August 1.-Prince Jerome Napole- leon emerges at last from his long retirement, and seeing in the approaching elections an op portunity of at least testing the strength of what remains of the Bonapartist party in France has issued an appeal to the people or an electoral programme i1 the form of let ter addressed to his fellow citizens. This let ter is very elaborate and is written in the best style of the Prince, who appeals to the country to recall the glorious history of France under the rule of Napoleon, his i'm mortal uncle; also the wonderful prosperity of the country under his cousin Napoleon the Third. He contends that the mere title of government is unimportant. It should be a government whereby the destiny of France among the nations can be best accomplished. The present government, he asserts, has not realized the expectations cherished for it. The so called Democratic progress deceives the country encourages the worst passions and disregards all principles upon which former prosperity was founded. The prince ends his manifesto by demanding revision of the constitution SO aa to admit of plebiscite to elect chief ruler, post to which he as the head of the great Napoleonic dynasty aspires. The letter has produced profound sensation throughout Paris The Radicals are terribly exasperated and are talking to night of ask ing for the arrest of the Prince. The moder- ate Republicans pretend to deride it. The Legitimists regard it with favor only be- cause it annoys the Republicans and Radi- calls. The Bonapartists, who since the kill ing of the Prince Imperial have felt them selves without leader, welcome it as the first indication of the resurrection of their party,
