prof RiIav tho opfomolou;at nj fh

Prof Riley, the entomologist Of the
agricultural bureau at Washington,
makes some interesting statements
about the propagation of the common
house fly. The eggs are laid In
.decomposing vegetation. They hatch
i'm twenty-fOur hours, and I'm about
ten days, more or less, the time vary
ing with the season and temperature,
they are full fiedged and ready to dine
with you. From which the inference
is that If premises are rid of decompos-
ing matter they will furnish ne inviting
places for depositing larvR, and 30 be
free from the nuisance. The most
watchful care cannot prevent the pres
enee Of flies in the summer time, and
many are the devices for destroying
them. One of the best and most agree
able plans Is to cultivate geraniums
in the windows. There will be no
need of fly brushes.

friend of John Wilkes Booth. When
Beale was sentenced to death, Booth
made q powerful effort to save his life.
He enlisted all the eminent men he pos
sibly could to aid him in his efforts, but
there seemed no hope of success. As a
last resort he begged his influential
friends to secure him an audience with
President Lincoln. Quite number of
them consented to do so, among whom
was the late Colonel John W. Forney.
The audience was granted short time
before Beale was to be hanged, and
Booth made plea for his life which
moved Mr.. Lincoln to tears. The good
hearted President would doubtless have
committed Beale's sentence after
the occurrence of that night, but
Secretary Stanton said: "There has been
too much leniency in dealing with these
fellows. Coles sentence has been COM
muted. The law ought to take its
course in Beale's case" 1t did, and
Beale was hanged. Booths failure to
save the life Of his friend is said to have
so preyed upon his mind that it gradu-
ally worked him up to the point of assas-
sinating the President.
Cole remained in prison at Fort La
fayette, and after making one Intellectual
attempt to escape. was, on the 10Th day
of February 1866, brought out of prison
on writ of habeus corpus issued by the
District Court of New York at the in
stance of Jake Thompson and other Con-
federate leaders. He escaped to Canada,
and thence to Mexico, where he lead a
life of adventure under Macmillan.
He was finally pardoned by the Presi-
dent, and returned to the United States
with several prominent Confederates who
were in Mexico for time after the war,
waiting executive clemency. He is now
a citizen of Texas, largely interested in
the development of the railroad system
in that State.

A Book that had to be sold.

A week or two ago bright and chatty
young woman called at house on Cass
avenue and endeavored to make q sale of
a book entitled "Home and Mother"
The lady of the house received her in
the usual ten degree below fashion, and
utterly refusing to look at the book, she
said:
81 haven't any money, and I know
that my husband wouldn't pay for it"
1T is book highly spoken of by the
press"
"Yes, I know, but my husband is
queer"
"And you see the superior style of
binding" -.
81 know, but my husband would call
it bosh and trash"
"Shant call when he is at homer"
"That would he useless. He wouldn't
even look at it, and he hates female book
agents"
"Does he?"
Eyes; he abhors them. know he
doesn't even treat them civilly when
they call at his Office"
''Is that so?" unused the girl and when
she left the house, she for some reason
or other, started right down town.
The lady of the house might have for
gotten the incident in five or six years
but for a sort of climax. When her hus-
band came up to dinner he handed her
copy of "HGme and Mother with the
remark:
Happened to see it as passed Sec
ond hand book store, and thought per-
haps you would like it."
"Yes-ah-but, Henry, a girl was
here trying to sell me this very hook not
over two hours ago, stammered the wife
"Was, ell? Well she probably got
discouraged, sold ont to secondhand
dealer, and has skipped the city. II

Dinner was ready, but somehow the
wife had no appetite, and since then she

A middle-aged Irish lady, almost as
broad as she was long, boarded an out
bound G. & A. passenger train last even
ing with the intention of taking trip to
one of the numerous towns that lie be-
yond the American bottom. She took q
seat as was quite natural, and owing to
her "largeness" she was allowed to
occupy it alone. Just as the train was
on the eve of entering the tunnel Mrs.
Murphy obtained Whit of tunnel gas
that had leaked into the car through a
defective ventilator directly overhead.
As she had never breathed anything that
reminded her of gas before, she became
greatly alarmed. and began to exclaim
frantically, "Murtherl murther! l am
kilt!' As the gas did't take the hint and
vanish Immediately. she threw up one OF
the car windows, hoping by that strata
gem to procure q coveted supply OF fresh
air. In moment the car filed with
smoke and gas and came very near
smothering every person in 1t. She
couldn't understand where the smoke
came from, and yelled, Fire fire
murther we're all kilt For Gods
sake, help Don't let me burn mp +
By this time the passengers were cough
ing spasmodically and tumbling over
each other a. they rushed ~ the car
doors in Q most ludicrous manner. The
car doors were locked, and they found
themselves in helpless condition. The
old lady tainted, while other passengers
yelled for help and carried on like mad
men. BY the time they reached the end
Of the tunnel they were exhausted and
almost suffocated. The old lady recov-
cred and told the conductor that abe
thought she was kilt" adding that she
would never travel through an under
ground 90 works again, not for any
thing.l "a Louis Republican.

NJ. d. Leggett, since Commissioners OF
Patents, softened the public feeling.
The two ladies named we're passengers

tured her, and were not only protected
but shown perfect courtesy by him and

with the appeal Of the powerful friends OF

After Thompson's visit to the Michi-

headquarters at Twelfth and Chestnut

Transitory color blindness has been
produced by few hours stay in snow
fields illuminated by the sun, all artifi-
cial lights appearing green for q short
time.
It has been estimated that there are
about G. 900 species of birds, of which
five. sixth are known. Cones list OF North
American birds now embraces SSS spe-
cies, 100 new species having been added
during the last eight years.
If the earth should be suddenly stop

A subterranean forest was recently
uncovered a. depth of ten feet below
the surface on the estate of Lord Nor
manton, near Peterborough, England.
Some of the trees are of great size, and
30 we'll preserved that the different
varieties such as oak and elm-may be
readily distine uished.
Mr. R. McLachlan gives it as bis opin-
ion that many of the wood-eating insects
do not attack healthy trees. but only
those which have commenced to decay
from the operation OF other causes.
These insects are not responsible for the
destruction of the trees. but simply for
fastening the process after it has been
begun.
The Berlin police department is test
ing q secret method of disinfection
which, it is claimed, destroys the germs
in sick rooms within fifteen minutes.
The experiments are made as privately
as possible, but when they are finished
the department will make the results
public.

fianges.
