Curious Facts in Evolution.

A correspondent Of the London Times writes in
"A recent issue to that journal. ga certain spot
in the grounds of the Rev. Lord Sydney Godol-
phin, Osborne, Durweston, has, for | know not
how many years, by the Rev. gentleman kind
ness, furnished microscopes with O peculiar kind
Of earth. On taking a very minute portion OF
this earth and immersing it in a drop or two OF
pure water, two species of a most lively animal,
rotifeT ~UuIgaris, will be developed in about ten
minutes. No matter how often you repeat the
experiment., the same two forms invariably APP
pear. The process of the development can be
watched under the microscope with a quater-inch
power for in the short space named, the COM
plex organisms will be seen to swim about and
exercise. in a perfect manner, all the functions OF
their existence. A curious fact in connection
with the subject is that the earth is carefully
kept, the same process may be repeated, with
like results, for twelve months at least, after
which these animals seem to be unable to resist
further dessication. But not so a more lowly
organized form which also makes its appearance
in the solution, for at the end Of ten or twelve
years I have obtained a good crop of minute pro-
toplasmic creatures, aDeba, belonging to the
lowest class of animal life, such as those men,
toned in the paragraph from the American Jour
nal Of Science, and whose reproduction is carried
On as there described, by segmentation, sePara-
ton or elf-division-a process which has prob
ably been going on through all time, and will. L
venture to think, go on dd minimum. Only re-
Gently on taking a packet of earth from a drawer,
dated Deweston, July 18th, 1869, and placing a
very small quantity in a drop OF water on q
microscopic slide, in a short time | had an IN
teresting display of curious protean bodies
amoba, moving about over the field Of the

A Corpse Coming to Life.

The question as to whether premature burials
Of living persons are not more common than is
generally imagined has frequently been discussed
(says the 81. James GaSette); and an incident
reported in one of the New York papers is not
calculated to relieve anxiety on this point. Mrs.
W. l.. Petit, wife Of the teller of the First Ma
tional Bank at Port Wayne, apparently died, and
the undertaken took charge of what was sup
posed to be her remains. Arrangements were
made for the funeral. and watchers were sitting
with the body. At 10 O'Clock at night the
watchers started to their feet in alarm on hearing
a faint sigh, which thrilled through the room.
1t proceeded from Mrs. Petit. who a moment
later was seen sitting up with her eyes open and
asking in an audible whisper for her husband.
The attendants were first speechless with wonder,
and then screamed with excitement. Their
screams brought Mr.. Petit to the room in haste,
and : with joy unspeakable. he clasped again his
living wife In his arms" The doctor was sent
for, and could not believe his eyes at beholding
living what in his exact medical science he had
declared dead. His position was an awkward
one but he seems to have made the best of the
situation, for he " administered restoratIves. >
and Mrs. Petit, by latest accounts, " was never
better i'm her life"

Duped BY a Sham Lord.

\ very grIevous misadventure has be-
fallen a worthy grocer at a watering-place
on the southern coast. His wife and dauoh-
tiers recently went for a tour on the Con-
tinent. and while staying at a hotel IN
Switzerland had for their neighbor at the
table dhote an affable gentleman of dis
tinguished appearance, who made himself
very agreeable to one Of the daughters.
After he had left the table one morning one
of the young ladies noticed an envelope
under his chair, and on picking it up found
that it was addressed to Lord Somerville.
Her mamma TO whom she gave it, handed it
back to Lord Sonerville. who was taking
ois coffee outside, and who told her that he
travelled as Captain B (the name by
which be was known to the ladies), because
- if you are known to be a person of title
they swindle you so desperately" The
good lady was probably not displeased at
the idea of one of her daughters becoming
the wife of a lord, and when a few days
afterwards Lord Somerville told her that he
had some difficulty in getting a cheque
cashed. she at once volunteered to let him
have fifty or sixty pounds to go on with.
This loan he was with difficulty induced to
accept, and in the course of a few DAYS the
father arrived from England at the ummons
of his good lady, who did not feel equal to
the task of dealing unaided with a peer of
the realm. The father was enchanted with
Lord Somerville's distinguished manners,
but. being an honest man, thought it right
to inform him that he was only a plain
tradesman. though he could settle a good
round sum on his daughter. Lord Somer-
vile met this very properly by saying that
he did not care about that all he could say
was that he was very fond of the girl, and
hoped that she would not refuse him. The
whole party then returned to England, and
Lord Somerville accepted his future father
n-law's invitation to visit him at St.
Leonards. The worthy grocer, not content
with making great preparations in his own
house and hiring a local chefo of some renown
for the occasion. engaged a suite of rooms at
the best hotel for Lord Somerville, who
accepted all these attentions with careless
good nature, and arranged on the Saturday
to go to London on the following Monday
with his future father-in-law and to put him
IN communication with his solicitors. In
the meantime he asked the old gentleman to
save him the trouble of writing out a cheque,
and altogether received some eighty or
ninety pounds in cash, besides having all his
expenses paid, since the fortunate day when
his identity was accidentally disclosed to
the ladies'. He dined at the house on
Sunday evening, but when his father-in-law
that was to be went to the station on Mon.
day morning, Lord Somerville was not
there. Thinking that his patrician habits
had made him late for the train, he went to
the hotel. only to find that his lordship had
left = nd all that he has since been able to
ascertain is that his guest was seen taking a
train for Dover early in the morning.

Dimples Made to Order.

lie rning that there was a place in the
city where dimples were made to order, |
went there out of curiosity. | was shown
into a parlor somewhat resembling a dentists
operating room. There was n glass case
full of bottles, washes and wigs, and a re-
gnlar dentists chair that suggested a world
of comfort. To me presently came a dapper
little man in a velvet cutaway coat, and
whose face wore a complacent smirk. [
bashfully suggested the dimple question, and
asked for some points. | really wanted a
dimple on my arm, and told him so. But
/ insinuated my disbelief in his ability to
produce the necessary article. Whereupon
he convinced me by practice.
This is how it is done My arm being
bare, and the exact spot indicated, he
placed a small tube, the erifce of which
was extremely small, upon the spot. This
tube had working within it a piston, and
was so small that when the handle was
drawn up the air was exhausted from the
tube and adhered to the flesh, raising a
slight protuberance. Around this raised
portion the operator dainty tied a bit of
scarlet silk and then took away his suction
machine. The little point of skin that was
raised he sliced of with a wicked-looking
knife, bringing the blood. | tried hard not
to scream. bat it as so unexpected that l
had to. he then bound up the arm,
placing over the wound a small silver object
like an inverted cone, the point of which
was rounded and polished. This little point
was adjusted so as to depress the exact
centre of the cut. Then he told me to go
away and not to touch the spot until next
day. When | came at that time he dressed
my arm again, and this operation was re-
peated for five days, when the wound was
healed. The silver cone was removed, and
there, sure enough, beneath it was the
protest dimple in the world I! And all had
to ply was Sl0.--Chicago Herald.

Peters Ride to the Wedding.

Peter would ride TO the wedding-he would

Follow, not lead, through life
" He's mighty con venient. the ass. my dear
So proper and safe now

And ven get to the wedding in time, never fear,
II the wind and the weather allow
The wind and the weather were not to be blamed,
But the ass had taken a within,
That two at a time was a load never framed
For the back Of one ass. and he felt quite ashamed
That two should be stuck upon him.
@ Come Dobbin." says Peter, I'm thinking we'n

I'm thinking we won't says the ass
In language Of conduct, and he stuck to the spot
As if he had vowed he would sooner be shot
Than lift up a toe from the grass.
Says Peter, saws he, T. whip him a little
TRY it. my dear" says she.
But he might just as well have whipped a brass
kettle,
The ass was made of such obstinate mettle
That never q step moved he.
I'm prick him, my dear, with a needle, said she
I'm thinking he'll alter his mind"
The ass felt the needle, and up went his heels
I'm thinking, says Peter, hes beginning to
feel
Some motion of moving-behind."
Now lend me the needle and III prick his ear.
And set t'other end, too, agoing."
Inc ass felt the needle ana upward he reared:
But kicking and rearing was all, it appeared,
He'd any intention of doing.
Says Peter, says lac, We get on rather slow
While one end is up, t'other sticks to the ground.
But I'm thinking a method TO move him l know &;
Let's prick head and tail together, and SO
Give the fellow a start all round
So said, so done all hands went to work,
And the ass did alter his mind
For he started away with so sudden a jerk,
That in less than a trice he arrived at the kirk,
But he left all his burden behind.

Spelling Reform.

The Co,uier-Gdzette of Rockland, Maine,
shows up the absurd manner of spelling some of
the words of the English language in the follow
ing manner
The Boston Journal notes the fact that only
q very few papers have adopted the simpler
spelling of program, preferring the additional
letters at the end of the word. Well, if a paper
or an individual prefers to wear its or her young
life away, the longer form is permissible, the
same as the Anticipated spelling of quartette.
But yette if these writer's had to settle the types,
or paw for the setting they would lette such
shamme spelling alone and cramme their words
into simplest forms. The old form is more of q
bore than a gimmelette, and is enough to make
printers madden than Hammelette.
