Spring C0nundrums.

Why, in the spring of the year, do pic
MICS become epidemic, and old and young,
rich and poor, rush off into the woods to
eat their lunch under trees, and be fed
on by ticks and mosquitoes? 1t is simply
because for tens of thousands OF years
man was in q nomadic condition. He
wandered about with his family in the
woods, living on berries and being an
noyed by insects, and although man has
become civilized, and lives in house,
yet, nevertheless, about once q year an
Irresistible desire to return to his old
vagabond life comes over him, and he
Just has to go on picnic, after which he
cools down for the rest of the year, and
and puts sweet oil on the tick bites.
Just 30 it is with women gardening.
Until quite recently woman had to do all
the hard work in the field. She had to
dig up the ground, plant the crop and
. gather it until it became second nature
to her. Her husband was kind enough
to encourage her to keep on by shaking
q stick at her when she wanted to sit
down and rest, but it was below his dig
nifty to work. Such was the condition Of
woman from the beginning of time. 1t
will be remembered that Adam was too
lazy to gather in the apples, sol Eve had
to do Il for him. OF course all this
is changed now. All that most women
do in the way of hard work is to dress up
and 60 to parties, but every spring she
cannot resist the impulse to put on her
worst clothes and drudge with q hoe out
in the front yard, as she used to do thou
sands of years ago.-Austin SiJtings.

THE OHIO LEGISLATURE.
THE SENATE.

Mr.. Metcalf's House bill, authorizing certain
incorporated villages to regulate the sale of in
toxicating liquors, was passed. The following
bills were introduced: Amending tho Code 80
that County Commissioners shall be authorized
to levy tax for road purposes in certain cases.
Providing the same penalties for . violation OF
the law governing cooperative insurance COM
panies - is now provided for in the law gov
erning regular life insurance companies.
In committee Of the whole, House bill by
Mr.. Conrad, Chairman Of the Committee on
Finance, making appropriations for tho benev-
olent, penal, and correctory institutions Of the
State, for the last three-quarters of the fiscal
year ending November Is, 1884, and the first
quarter OF the fiscal year ending February Is,
1883, was passed. n6
On motion of Mr.. Norton, the vote was re-
considered whereby Senate bill by Mr.. Kinney
was passed to prohibit unjust discrimination
in favor of persons in public employment
travelling on roads on free passes. A number
OF amendments were offered and disagreeded
to, and speeches were made pro and con for
two hours, when the bill was again put upon its
passage and lost-yeas TO- nays IS. Mr.. Chap
mans Senate bill authorizing religious societies
to incumber their property was passed Mr..
Koons' House bill, providing for the appoint
ment of a committee to procure . statue Of the
late President Garfield, to be placed in tho old
hall Of the House OF Representatives at WASH
ington, and appropriating e10, 600 to pay for
the same, was passed.

Feminine Finance.

The London World says that specu
lation of the riskiest character is steadily
ON the increase. It In habit which,
once formed, Is a. difficult to eradicate
q the drinking of odd glasses Of sherry.
Lattcrly IL has spread with immense
rapidity among women. The feminine
finance which Sidonia disliked is one Of
the features of the epoch. The ladies'
club at the West End OF London, which
are the growth Of the last few years,
have given an appreciable impulse to
feminine speculation. It would be O
mistake 70 suppose that lady financiers
are exclusively London growth. They
abound In the most tranquil districts.
IL il Q natural instinct 10 wish TO convert
six pence into o shilling, and the pos
SCISSORS Of fixed incomes-retired civil
servants, widows with dowers, unmarried
ladies whose life is dull and whose time
hangs heavily ON their hands-swallow
with svidity the. offered bait specula-
tion of this kind, whether It fills the
purse or empties II, Il certain to yield
some excitement and that is not the
least of its attractions. But in the long
run IL means ruin and misery"

The Crayflsh and the Levees.

The crayfish are the most formidable
enimies of the Louisiana levees, and the
great majority of the crevasses that
occur are directly attributable to these
little fresh water crustaceans. The
most compactly constructed levees are
often undermined in q single night, and
the little stream Of water, at first no
thicker than ones finger, soon outs its
way, and rapidly increasing, becomes in
a few hours roaring cataract, crumb-
ling the immense embankment and FOL
lowed by an avalanche of water from the
river which spreads over miles OF sur
rounding country, scattering death and
destruction in every direction.
Many precautions have been devised,
but none have ever permanently sue
ceeded in overcoming the difficulty.
Some years before the war, Mr.. Lizarh
built q brick wall in the center OF his
levee, banking the earth on each side,
but was dismayed one morning to find
that the crayfsh had undermined the
wall and that his levee was actually cav
ing in. The late Professor Forshey pat
ented an invention for securing immu-
nifty from the attacks Of the crayfsh,
which consisted of plank fence in the
center of the levee from base to crown,
and the Louisiana Levee Company had it
practically tested at an increased cost
Of 80 per cent over the ordinary levee,
but it was unavailing. Talking with
Mr.. Duncan f. Kenner, recently, he
said that he had anticipated Forsheya
plan some years ago, and in building his
ievees he had constructed . picket fence
on either side, of which he had made the
levee embankment a. compact a. posi-
BILE, but the irrepressible little workers
soon found their way through. .-Nest
