"A Much Misused Word.

Mary H. krout, In Charlottesville journal.
The intelligent woman the other day
expressed her opinion upon the ancient
custom that yet obtains among few
obscure country papers of calling a
woman female. The term. she in
sists, is a technical one and should be
left to the exclusive use of PSYCHOLOGISTS
and biologists. 1t took writer's LONG
time to come to a realizing sense of its
unfitness when applied to individuals
OF feminine gender. Nothing looks
queerer now than those goudy -goody
little books that were written by presi-
dents of female" boarding schools.

parishes wherein the "iemale element
was silent majority. The subjects
were Female Piety. Female Modestv.
Female Meekness, The Virtues Most to
be Admired in the True Female, as if
the omnipOtent Creator recognized two
separate sets of moralities, one TO be
appropriated by the "male" and the
other to be worn in meekness and hu-
mllity by the female portion of hui
manity. The bible says that God in
the beginning created man in his own
image, 'male and female created he

cording to their two kinds, but not
using the terms as names. Sarah Jo-

uses OF the word. The floods of trash

SCIENCE.

DIR. Neuber, at the late Congress of
German Surgeons, spoke highly of the
antiseptic virtue of peat or black earth,
which is filled into bags made of loose
guaze and laid over wounds. The baps
are held in place by bandages of the
same material. There seems to be
little or no necessity to change the
dressing. All secretions are rapidly
absorbed by the earth or turf, and the
healing proceeds very rapidly.
Eearly in the Spring the marshes
reSound with vocal noises, which many
think are doubtless made by frogs.
These sounds come from the throats of
toads, not frogs. Only the male toad
sings; and when visitors to the country
seat themselves on door-steps in the
pleasant evenings of May and June to
listen to the singing of the frogs in a
neighboring mill-pond, they are in
reality listening to the singing of male
toads. SO says Prof. Bickmore.
1t is estimated that there are five
times as many kinds of insects Us there
are species of all other living things put
together. The oak alone give shelter
and support to $50 species of insects.
and POO kinds made their home in pine
trees. In 1S49, Alexander Won Hum
boldt estimated that the number of
species preserved in collections was
between 10000 and 10000, but
scientific men now say that there must
be something like 100000 species.
In the matter of defence in bird
nests, the nest of the wood pewee is
decorated with lichens, while that of
the great green-crested fy-catcher is
invariably decorated with q snake S
skin. A naturalist who has seen hun
hreds of these nests has never seen one
without the snakes skin. He SAYS,
''The lichens serve to conceal the nest
OF the pewee, as they do that Of the
humming-bird, which always uses them
and cOnceals its nest effectually; but
why does the iiy-catcher use the snake
skin? 1t is to terrify the robber birds
1t builds in hole in tree, often not
far from the ground. The skin is woven
in around the margin of the nest and
is made very CONSPICUOUS.

The Star-Route Trials.


When the expense, trouble and scan
dal connected with the prosecution of
the star-rOute thieves is taken into con-
Slderation, it is questionable whether or
not 1t is good idea to prosecute them
at all, particularly as the ultimate pun
iShment of the thieves is extremely
problematic. There are times and oc-
casions when it does not pay to enforce
the law. The Star-route thieves are. TO
certain extent, masters of the situa-
ton, very much as was the man in the
street car who refused either to get off
or to pay his car fare. The driver an
chored the mule, by the reins to the
brake, rolled up his sleeves and pre-
pared to assist the passenger to alig ght.
The threatened party made an impress
sive gesture, and said:
''Stop; let us ponder over this case.
Your car is full. l am not going out
peaceably. You will have to put me
out, and it is going to tire YOU, for
am well-muscled, and have a great deal
OF experience in being put off cars.
There will be a big row. You will
annoy and detain all the other passen-
gers, and you will put your car off
time. and create confusion all along
the line-and all for six cents. 1t won't
pay you in the end. / will have the
sympathy of the passengers, whereas,
if you do not interfere with me. I'll
get of anyhow, as soon as 1 get to my
destination. "
The driver concluded to drive on. 1t
would have been cheaper in the end to
have allowed the star-route thieves to
have gone on stealing until their term
was up.

Sons of Great Men.

Pecks sun,
1t is sad to thiHk of, but the sons of
great men have no more sense than the
sons OF ordinary people. We read of
the son of president, and think we
would like to see him, Us he must be
brighter than ordinary boys, more
gentlemanly, and boy that would be
noticed wherever he might be un-
noticed. But you turn the presidents
son out in street with lot of other
boys, and if told to look them over and
pick out the son of the president, you
would be rs liable to pick out the
butchers boy or the bakers boy, as
the presidents. Take lot of college
students on n drunk, and if YOU know
the presidents son is in the lot you
can tell which he is, by his looks or
gentlemanly bearing. This was illus
trated at Princeton, n. Y, last week.
twenty Princeton college students en-
tertained several Yale students at a
wine supper at hotel, and they all
got drunk. President Arthur's son was
among them. When they all GOT
drunk enough they went up stairs to
the rooms occupied by the girls en-
ployed in the hotel. kicked in the
doors, lnsulted the girls, and frightened
them out of their night clothes, out of
their rooms, and out of their wits. To
look at the young drunkards you
couldn't have told which was the presi-
dents son, until one of the girls cut u
calf S ear on the side of his head with
piece of broken crockery. Then he
howled, and as the blue blood of the
al l. L.. I 4
sobered him up, they knew it was the
presidents son. Other drunken stu
dents were put to bed in the girls va
Gated rooms, and the poor girls slept
in the halls, and the gentlemen" had
high old time. A few ordinary mems
sons should have gone into the hotel
and taken the girls part and
whipped the high toned fellows
till they couldn't get out of bed
for week. 1t is hoped that
the presidents son, as he looks at the
scar on the side of his face, that he will
carry through life, will realize that he
was branded by a chambermaid, in her
chamber, by her chamber furniture, and
that he will show the scar to his father
and confess that he had more sense
Knocked into him by that blow than he
ever had before. Boys who lose respect
TOR working girls, because they think
they are too smart for any earthly use.
and think they are free to insult those
they come in contact with because they
are sons of great men, are liable, in
such moment as they think not, to
hear something drop alongside of their
heads, and it serves them right.

Out of Money.

OuJH companion,
TO be out of money in a country
where scarcely a native. much less n
foreigner, can find anything to do to
get his bread, is serious matter. rs
the reader can Judge. Bayard Taylor
in his young and cnterprising days,
went through Europe living from
hand to mouth" and occasionally he
found himself in such dilemma.
Some readers will remember his
story of his predicamcnt at Lyons,
when letter Gong waited for) came,
with money it to replenish his empty
pocket, but with fourteen sous postage
due on it, and he was forced to CON
trive a strategem to borrow franc
OF his landlady before he could get the
letter.
lie relates another instance of similar
straits, in the city of Florence, while
his two travelling companions were
gone to Leghorn to procure the much
needed cash upon bankers draft:
"Ihey were to be absent three or
four days, and had left me money
enough to live on in the meantime,
but the next morning our bill for wash

scythes, and various rakes, forks, hoes,
ETC., hung upon bars and pins in safe
and satisfactory way. Racks for hold
ing implements can be put up in be-
tween the studs of a building, and
above these, shelves should be made
for holding various articles as tubs,
baskets, etc, that take much space.
The time of year for fitting up the tool

which the old Godey's Lady's Book
used to let loose upon the country may
be excused in a measure, since it let no
opportunity pass to criticise and
ridicule the writer's of female" litera-
ture. Nobody hears of male boarding
schools or male academies. Men are
not alluded to rs brilliant male
writer's, or eminent male artists. :"
Books were never written on male
piety or male integrity, yet the use of
one, IN the same sense, is as correct as
the other.

There was n singular and fatal ac-
cident on the Vandalia Road a day or
two ago. Among the scores of queer
murders committed on the railway
tracks and noticed by the News at one
time or another, this is the quecrest.
Horses, cows, sheep, hogs, dogs, cats,
rats, rabbits, mice, squiri els, muskrats,
ground-squirrels, geese, turkeys,
chickens, ducks, turtles, snakes, frogs,
have all been seen by the reporter
crushed or cut in two by the cars, but
never till yesterday has he seen a wild
bird killed that way. A quarter of a
mile beyond Elevator b. a train had
run through II covey of quais and
killed and cut to pieces half dozen at
least. Thirteen wings, more or less
entire, could be counted and separat-
ed, and the outside of the track was
mass of feathers and bones for several
feet around.

\ Place for the Tools,
American Agriculturist.

American Agrculturist.
When not in use every tool used on
the farm or in the garden should have
a place for safe keeping. A well-to-do
farmer can afford a house especially
for the tools. But the lack of a tool
house does not prevent the farmer
from having some suitable place for
storing his implements. The sides of a
carriage-house may be arranged so
that large number of the small tools
can be put away in good shape. Not
long ago the writer was in a farm
building where the whole undersde of
the roof was devoted to the storage of
implements. Here were grain cradles,
