THE BENEFIT OF BEDBUGS.
1t is Claimed that Their Bites arc an
AntidOte for rheumatism.
"Medicus'' in Dallas Herald. |


In my last paper | asserted that mosqui-
toes contained large quantity of quinine
and therefore when they bit a person they
injected into his system an antidote to ma
larial and febrile causes generally. | had
then experimental with the mosquito and
and knew whereof | spoke, and since you
kindly published my communication l have
captured quite number of these insects,
and mascerating them with mortar and al
cohol, have by chemical experiment actually
precipitated the sulphate Of quinia, or qui-
nine of the drug stores, to the amount OF
seventy per cent. of the mass. In this south
ern climate of ours, except where the salt
breezes Immediately along the coast are
freshest from the briny waves, III every
household, in the wood away from the habi-
tiOns, are myriads of chinces or bedbugs.
Chinces annoying as they may be, have 4
purpose, and night after night they are work
ing the accomplishment Of that purpose
achieving those duties which as factors III
the economy of nature are incumbent
upon them. The chince i'll sucking blood
from the human body draws nourshment
and strength, and above all the material
which in the retorts or his body is distilled
into a rich fluid which he in biting one
elects into the body to take the place OF the
blood he has but borrowed, and this entering
into the circulation furnishes an antidote
against rheumatism. All mercurial prepara-
tiOns when taken i'll excess causes artlculer
rheumatism, affecting the bodies and the
Joints of the bones of the human body. The
calomel taken, by decomposition in the sys-
tenn. forms corrosive sublimate, but not in
quantity to produce death save by the slow
torture of rheumatism. Corrosive sublimate
as every housewife in all this land will testi-
fly, is the only riddance for bedbugs. The
juices of the bug and the sublimate are the
antidotes of each other, foes by nature, and
wherever they meet only the death of the
one or other can end the contest. 4 single
bug, of course, cannot overcome the quantity
of sublimate he comes in contact with, but
the human system becoming gradually full
ly impregnated with this juice of the bug,
by their billings at night. the poison in his
veins of the sublimate from his use of Gallo
mel or mercury is in the end overcome and
neutralized, and the cause being removed, the
rheumatism gets well.

The Daily Newspaper.

Prof Swing says: All the long year and
through the recent years the telegraph and
the morning journal have been flinging in
our faces the evidence that sin does not bring
a successful life 1t is complained by many
that the telegraph and the reporters art are
making the public familiar with all forms of
crime and fraud. But are they not making
us familiar with the remOrse and misery
which wrong incurs? Let the young read
the dark events of the times if only they will
mark the ruin involved ir the events. When
our daily press shall in any manner apollo
gize for wrong, then shall we need less of
the telegraph and less of the morning paper ;
but to the daily paper at present we are in
debted for the most and for the hottest elo-
quence against fraudulent contracts and weak
Judges i'm criminal courts and against inspired
assassins. As matters now are, the daily
press is standing for the better classes, and is
making audible and eloquent much of the
heart-burning thought of the people.

THE CLOSING SCENE.
BY BUCHANAN READ.

BY BUCHANAN READ.
The following is pronounced by the Westminster
Rccietr to he unquestonably the finest American
poem ever Wrlttcn.I
With the sober realms Of eafess trees,
The rus<ct year inhaled the dreamy air:
Like some tanned reaper in his hour of ease,
When all the fields are lying brown and bare.
The gray barns looking from their hazy hills,
Ger the dun waters widening i'll the Wales,
sent down the air Il greeting to the mills,
ON the dun thunder OF alternate fallS.
al sights were meowed, and all sounds subdued
The hills seemed farther and the streams sang low
A. in dream the distant woodnan hewed
His winter log with many mu1ied blow.
The cmbattIed forests, ercwhile armed with gold,
Their banners bright with every martial hue,
Now stood like some sad, beaten host of DID,
Withdrawn afar in Times remotest blue.
ON somber wings the vulture tried his fight;
The dove scarce heard his signing mates com
plant;
Amd, like n star slow drowning in the light,
The village church vane seemed to pale and faint.
The sentinel cock upon the hillside crew
Crew thrice-and all was stiller than before,
Silent. till some replying warder blew
His alien hOrn and then was heard no more.
Where erst the Jay within the elm's tall crest
Made garrulous trouble round her unhedged
And where the orioe hung her swayng nest
BY early harvest and plenteous year.
Where every bird that walked the venal feast
Shook the sweet slumber from its wings at morn :;
TO warn the reaper of the rosy east;
All now sunless empty and fOriorn.
Alone, from out the stubble, piped the quail
And croaled the crew through all the dreary
Alone, the pheasant drumming in the vale,
Made echo in the distant cottage loom.
There was no bud, no bloom upon the bowers;
The spiders wove their thin shronds night by
The thisle bwn, the only ghost of flowers,
Sailed slowly by-passed noiseless out OF sight.
Amid all this in this most dreary air,
And where the wOodblne shed upon the po-cll
Its crimson leaves, AS If the year stood there,
Firing the floor with its inverted torch
Amid all this-the center of the scene,
The white-haired matron with monotnOus tread,
Piled the swift wheel, and with her joyous mien,
Sat like fate, and watched the flying thread.
She had known sorrow-hc had walked with her,
Oft srpped and broke with her the ashen-crust,
And in the dead leaves still she heard the stir
OF his thick mantle trailing i'll the dust
While yet her cheek bright with summer
Her country summoned and she gave her all,
And twice wax bowed to her his sable plume
Rc-gavc the sword to rust upon the wall
Rc-payC the sword but not the hand that drew
And struck for liberty the dying blow;
Nor him who, to his sire and country true,
Fell mid the ranks OF the invading 1oc
Long but not loud, the droning wheel went on,
Like the low murmur OF hive at noon;
Icng but not loud the memory of the gone
Breathed through her lips u sad ana tremuious
tune.
At last the thread snapped-her head was
bowed,
And loving ncighbors SIN oothed her careft GFoud
While death and winter closed the autuirtf Scene.

Viewed naturally, the hair is as great an
index Of temperament and disposition as the
features. Coarse dark hair and skin signify
great power of character. Fine dark halr
and skin signify strength OF character along
with purity and goodness. Straight, stiff
black hair indicates a coarse, strong, straight
forward character. Fine dark brown hair
signifies the combination OF exquisite sensi-
bility with great strength of character. Flat,
clinging, straight hair, a melancholy, but eX-
tremely constant character. Coarse red hair
indicates powerful passion, together with
corresponding strength of character. Auburn
hair, with tlorid countenance, denotes the
highest of sentiments, intensity of feeling
and purity OF character, with the highest
capacity for employment Orsuffering. Straight
even, smooth and glossy hair denotes strength.
harmony and evenness of character, hearty
affections. clear head and superior talents
Fine, silky, supple hair. is a mark OF delicate
and sensitive temperament, and speak IN
favor of the mind and character. White
hair denotes lymphatic and indolent con-
stitution. And we may add that, besides all
the qualities, there are chemical properties
residing in the cOloring matter, which un-
doubtedly has some effect on the disposition.
Thus, red-headed people are notoriously pas
sionate. Now, red hair is proved by analysis
to coutain large amount of sulphur, while
very black hair is colored with almost pure
carbon. The presence of these matters in
the blood points to qualities of temperament
and feeling which are almost universally
associated with them. The very way in
which the hair flows is strongly indicative of
the ruling passions and inclinations and per-
haps a clever person coulA give q shrewd
guess at the manner of man or woman's
disposition by only seeing the back of their
hair

LINES TO A MO OTHER.

Blessed are they who early seek
The Savior's kind commands;
Blessed are they that fall asleep
That sleep with folded hands;
Blessed TO us the memory now
That he chose SO soon that way:
That the glory of our Masters life
Reflected life's short day.
All! who can say a nobler deed
Fer graccd the heart of youth,
When he bravely stood friend i'll need
That act of golden worth,
The last that heart or hand could do
Ere he laid him down to die
4 memory honored by a few,
But treasured most on high.
All. who can say he spoke i'll vain?
His earnest, truthful words
May yet within some heart remain,
Replace the footsteps erred.
They sweetly rest who fail asleep
After their work is DER;
4 radiance fingers DER We'll done ~
Reaching from shore to shore.

TWO PICTURES.

An old farm house, with meadows wide,
And sweet with clover on each side;
A bright-eyed boy, who looks from out
The door, with woodbine wreathed about,
And wishes his one thought all day
"Oh! if could bIt fly away
From this dull spot, the world to see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy / should be!''
Amid the city's constant din,
A man who round the world has been,
And mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking, thinking all day long,
"Oh! could only tread once more
The field path to the farm house door,
The old green meadow could see,
How happy, happy, happy,
How happy | should be I"

WHO YOUR DOCTOR,

Who is your doctor"
a pertinent question,
AID one that quite troubles
1'wo-thirds of the world,
Who after life's frolics
Have spasms and colics,
And pains through The veins
And the arteries hurled.
Who is your doctor?
OF allo-- and home
OF quack and botanic,
Who has your employ"
Who is your doctor?
The wise ones will answer,
Good air, and good diet,
Good conscience, good hours,
Contempt for bad passions.
Bad tastes, and bad fashions,
That rosy health's pathway
BE strewn with bright flowers.

LOOKING THROUGH WIRE.
An instrument to Transmit Scenes a.
the Telephone Does Sound.

When the telephone was first proposed
many scoffed at the idea of transmitting
sound by means of q wire and battery. Later
it was proposed by a European electrician to
transmit scenes in the same way, and this
idea was met by even wider increduality
For the past three years experiments have
been made to attain this end, but with the
exception of those of Mr. Shelford Bidwell,
a London engineer, they have been unsuccess-
full. At the recent electric exposition at
Paris, Mr. Bidwell exhibited an ingenius in
strument which he calls a dioscope. The ap-
paratus consists of small objective lens
fixed so as to command the object or scene
of which an impression is to be transmitted
This lens is connected by a wire with Ia small
white glass plate. Total darkness having
been obtained in the room furnished with a
dioscope, it is claimed that perfect repro
duction of the image shown in the lens will
be produced on the glass. The distance is
immaterial So far, all that has been accom-
plished with this instrument has been to
make visible several letters of the alphabet
Still the more enthusiastic claim that the
time is not far distant when the owner of a
telephone supplemented by dioscope can
spend an evening at the opera in his dress
ing-gOwn and slippers, seated in his easy
chair, with one eye and one ear closed.

Southern Mode of Cooking Rice.

Pick over the rice and wash it in cold
water; to one pint rice put three quarts OF
boiling water and half teaspoonfill salt boil
it Just seventeen minutes from the time it
begins to boil; turn off all the water; set IT
over moderate fire with the cover of; to
steam fifteen minutes. Take care and be
accurate. The rice water first poured off is
good to stiffen muslins.

The First Month.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune
This is the month of splendid promises
the first month of the year--when we are to
leave off smoking, swearing, chewing, drink
ing, and all bad habits that cleaye to us
when we are going to pay up all our debts
and commence living again on a square basis
and by looking the world honestly in the
face; when we are going to church more and
to the club-room less when we are to visit
the poor and afflicted and are not to forget to
leave behind something more substantial
than our coincidence and our prayers; when
we are to part company with frowns and sur
illness of temper, and court the smiles and
sweet amenities of life: in short, becoming q
regular sunbeam and irradiating the path OF
all with whom we come i'll contact. When
we are going to speak to Il about that
little misunderstanding and have no further
unpleasantness or hard feelings about it;
when we are to subscribe two or three years
in advance for our local and church papers
and pay right up for the subscriptions, too:
when we are going to learn to close the doors
softly instead of slamming them when we are
irritated, and sing "Hallelujah" when we hit
our Slippered foot against the rocker, that Is
if we don't forget it: when we are to answer
those long and neglected letters, and here
after be cited q model correspondent when
we are to give the wife more money than she
asks for every time, and praise her judicious
use of it, too; when we are to sew the but
tons on the husbands shirts more faithfully
than ever, and keep his collars and cuffs in
perfect order, and see that his favOrlte dinner
never has to be waited for; when we are not
to be cross to the children, and constantly
bear in mind the astounding fact that we
were once child ourselves; when we are
once more to indulge in those natural and
familiar Words about turning over a new leaf
and keeping it turned: and as the first days
of this first month of the new year drop one
by one from our sight and touch and men,
DRY, in view of all our good resolutions, hopes,
plans and endeavors and, alas! that we
should have to record it, their complete in
solvency, do we calmly sigh as we thus apos-
trophize-Oh month of splendid, of short
lived and broken promises!
