Wasps.

A wasp's nest was discovered in a
country church recently. After little
while the wasps were discovered also.
The minister was proceeding leisurely
to "fifthly,n when the wasps concluded
that they had better attend to business
and begin missionary work among
the congregation. They sailed forth
in twos and threes for the sake of
mutual reinforcement, and it is safe to
say that some expressions were made
use of during the next half hour which
would not stand the test of the strictest
piety. Bald heads were especially at a
discount, and when an enthusiastic
wasp lighted thereon and proceeded to
the performance of his duty the staccato
tones of sudden anger broke on
the still and solemn air and horny
hand hit the bald spot as though it
would knock the whole head off.
For little while there was some-
thing like a regular camp meeting re-
vival in that building. Moody and
Sankey's songs were nowhere. There
were hysteric shouts and wild hurrying
to and fro and dancing up and down
the aisles, until the minister shouted,
in the language of the Mikado, Here's
a pretty how we do" Just then wasp
made his personal acquaintance, and he
Immediately shut the Bible and made a
remark. 1t was proven beyond a doubt
that religion, though fitting every
other emergency in life, is entirely
inadequate when wasp applies his
business end to the human epidermis.

The idea that the wool gives taste to
the flesh, either by its growth before
butchering, or by its touch in the butch
ering. or after, is very old one, but it
is erroneous. The flesh of the sheep
partakes of the flaver of its food more
than does that of the steer or hog; and
the milk still more, perhaps. But all
the apparatus of glands and cells, and
tissues for the manufacture of wool is
situated in the skin, and all its deposits
are made there, without affecting the
skin. -,
The disagreeable sleepy flavor is inn
parted to meat by age, by bad feeding,
1or no feeding atall) and by the delay
in the removal of the viscera. Let a
sheep be properly managed from birth
to butchering, and the entrails be
taken out with neatness and dispatch,
and the carcrss may be wrapped in the
yolkiest, wrinkliest skin without det-
riment, barring the uncleanliness.
From the enormous preponderance of
the breed the much decried "Merino
taste" is the scapegoat for all the bad
feeding and worse butchering of the
country. A sheep may yield the best
flesh Of all the domesticated animals or
fOwls-or the worst.

PECULIAR PHENOMENA.
Effects ofthe Equinox on Time-Keep-
ers-The Seasons of Storms Good
for the Watch Making Trade.

IL may not be generally known that
during the seasons of equinoetial
storms, the watch makers all over the
country do an exceptionally good busi-
ness in the way of repairing watch
springs. In the months of March and
September, as the sun crosses the line,
watch springs break in great quantity.
This is q fact well known to most watch
makers, who assign electrical disturb
ances ofthe atmosphere" as the cause
of this phenomena, but why electricity,
In or out of the atmosphere should have
this effect is apparently unexnlainable.
The testimony as to the fact is in q
great measure circumstantial i'm its
character, but most watchmakers assert
and maintain the theory. In addition
to the equinoctial storms, north-easters
at all seasons of the year will also play
the Every mischief with the delicate
mechanism of watches.
Sometimes when thunder storms are
frequent and the ginning exceptional.
iy vivid, as i'm the month of April, main
springs of watches will break, but it is
said this is one of more rare occurrence
than the others. Hs.... .t.
The most remarkable, and at the same
time unexplainable part of the matter,
is that large percentage of the. watch
springs broken during the prevalence of
an equinoctial storm do not break in
two pieces, but usually sustain a clean
fracture across the barrel of the spring,
thus dividing the spring into as many
fragments as there concentrics in the
coil. Stranger still, the line of the frac-
ture is perfectly stright, and passes
through the point which would be the
center of the coil. Another curious
fact is that balance springs are not bro
ken in larger quantities during an equi-
liOX than at other times, main springs
being the ones usually fractured.
If a break occurs in watch spring it
uncoils us matter of course. 1t would
be impossible with the very finest of
tools to strike blow that would cut a
watch spring into fragments without
leaving rough edges to indicate the
manner of fracture; yet cases have oc-
Cured where the spring had broken
during an equinox, that the line .of
fracture was found to be perfectly
straight and cutting the center, the
ends being as sharp and clearly defined
rs if made by a razor edge.

The Development of Our Country and
Its Chances

!. It is singular fact that the cities of
the United States are increasing in pop
ulation much more rapidly than the
rural districts are. This is more particu-
larry the case in the older States in the
East. In the earlier days of the coun-
try's settlement agriculture formed the
staple resource of a much larger share
Of the people than at present, and the
tendency of population was in the di-
rection of the country rather than to-
ward commercial and manufacturing
centers. During the last three decades
the tide has turned in a remarkable
manner and the population of the
towns and cities is in creasing out of all
proportion to the increase in the rural
districts. In fact, in many localities in
the New England States and in Eastern
New York and Northern New Jersey
the country population has declined.
The Massachusetts State census for 1885,
which is nearly completed, shows that
tendency exists in fully as marked a de-
gree at present as at any time during the
last thirty years. In 101 towns and one
city whose limits have been unchanged
since 1880 there has been an actual loss
in population of 1858 inhabitants. In
So towns and IL cities there has been a
gain Of 59,693, making the net gain in
172 municipalities, which comprise no
less than One-half the whole number
in the State, 41,S35. OF the gross in
crease in the population of the 5S towns
and II cities above noted, the cities
furnish 2,229. Boston is not included
in the list. The total gain of popula-
ton in the State for the five years is
about 157, 900, and it is probable that
nearly all the increase will be found in
the cities and manufacturing centers.
The causes which have led to this
change are numerous. In the first
place, the young men who wanted to
follow agricultural pursuits have con-
cuded that it is easier and more profit
able to do so on the Western prairies
than upon the thin and rocky soil of
New England, In, the next place, the
East has been doing the manufacturing
for the West and South, and the great
increase of population in the purely ag-
ricultural States has caused cores
p0nding increase in demand for manu-
featuring for the West and South, and
the great increase of population in the
purely agricultural States has caused a
corresponding increase in demand for
manufactured goods, thus necessitating
the increase of population in the CEN
ters. The great army of employees
which the railways and telegraph lines
have called in existence have their
homes In the cities and larger towns.
1t will be seen that the changing condi-
tions caused by the enormous develop
ment of the country during the past
thirty years have necessitated to great
extent the change in population. 1t Il
much too early to determine whether
this change is to be deplored or not

The Sixty-DOllar-aDay Girl.

There are in our broad land great
ing as much as sixty dollars a day. In
fact, there are some who are earning
nothing at all and to whom the idea of
working for wages never occurred. And
there are some who are toiling like
slaves for a dollar day or less. For a
girl to earn sixty dollars day shows
either exceptional industry, extraordi-
nary competence or phenomenal good
luck. Yet there are men who have
earned as much as that; and why
should not woman earn as much as u
man does? ....
The sixty-dollar-a-day girl halls from
Chicago. She is spoken of as being a
rich girl, instead of which she is the
daughter of man who is rich. Were
she to keep on making sixty dollars a
day she might be rich in her own right
before very long. One recent day she
was talking, as many girls do, about be-
ing rich. She said she would like
to earn money. Her father bantered
her about it and when she talked of 60
ing into a factory for that purpose he
told her she was afraid of work and she
dared not take position as a factory
hand. Thereupon she dared the old
gentleman to offer her dollar for ev-
cry cent she should earn in the factory.
The old man was not a man to be dared.
Without moments delay he accepted
his daughters challenge, and in short
order the young lady was off for the
factory. Here she secured position at
sixty cents a day. She worked just asany
othergirl would work and collected her
pay from the factory people as the 9th
er hands did. But the other hands had
no parental purse to which they might
go for supplementary pay. The old
gentleman bravely stuck to his bar
gain, and for two or three days his in
dustrious daughters income was sixty
dollars and sixty cents day.
The fact the sixty-dollar-a-day girl
soon got tired of her factory work has
nothing to do with the moral of this
tale. The fact is established that rich
mans daughter can work in a factory,
just as any other girl can, and that she
can earn her living, if need be, as other
people do. In fact, she can earn quite
handsome competence. A poor mans
daughter cannot earn quite so much.

Omaha's New Jail.
[0maha Bee.l

The cells are arranged in the form of
great iron cylinder, which revolves
about so that only one cell is at the
opening at any one time. This cylin-
der is thee stories high, there being
ten cells on each floor. Its weight is
forty five tons, and this ponderous
weight is hung from above, instead of
turning on track below. The strang-
est part of the arrangement is that the
great cylinder can be turned by sin.
pie crank with very little force, man
with his left hand moving ic readily.
When it is complete it is the intention
to have little water moter in the
basement, and then by simply moving
lever the cylinder will be set to rotat-
ing. 1t is suggested that when there
are prisoners who 1t is feared may be
trying to cut out, thecylinder can, by
moter, be easily kept moving slowly
all night, so that the prisoners do not
remain long enough in one place to do
any mischief or even t. crawl out if
they had made partial break. 1t
seems that prisoners have little chance
for escape from the new Jail. A cage
of iron bars completely surrounds the
cylinder in which the cells are. The
entrance on each floor is guarded by
two doors The officer standing out
side does not have to ulnock even the
first door, but can swing the cylinder
around until the cell appears IN which
is the desired prisoner, and then by
simple movement the inner door is
opened and the prisoner can step out
of his cell. Then the officer can open
the other door and let the man out,
but the other prisoners are way be-
yond any possible reach of the officer,
and it is impossible for them to make
any break on him when he Is taking a
man out or putting one in. He can
handle any number of men in the
same way, and they cannot reach him
until he chooses to let them. .s

A Study OF Flesh.


Tho exposition Of the French acade-
my at the Villa Medica this season has
caused quite q scandal. Doucet, one
Of the pensioners-a quiet, gentleman
like artist, a perfectly reputable and
excellent person-has painted for this
exposition, strange TO say, n very
coarse picture; not lascivious, but
coarse. IL Is called the '.Interior of
the Harem." The light is dim; three
or four indistinclive forms of naked
women are seen sitting about In awk-
ward positions. There are no fine
stuffs, no gorgeous decorations, no
dazzling colors; the whole attention is
directed to the entirely nude body Of a
robust woman of the Rubens type,
who lies sleeping apparently on the
front plane of the picture. Her face
can not be seen, rs her back is toward
the spectator. As study OF flesh,
mere human flesh. the picture is truly
q marvellous work OF art. but in every
other respect is not only unattractive,
but absolutely repulsive. ur
After all that may be said in defense
of nudity in art by artists, most of us
shrink from the sight OF it in modern
art; we accept it with pleasure only in
sculpture, especially aucieut sculpture.
The Venus of Milo. the Venus OF the
capital, the Apoxyomenos OF the Vati-
can, the Apollo Sauroktonos, the
Hermes of Olympia, are Siicn divine
perfection of human development that
the beholder forgets all modern artiti-
cial rules OF decorum when looking at
them. They are beings OF Il far-Oil age;
exquisite forms mani esled IN Il strange
marble existence. But in painting the
nude almost always gives u shock 10
sensitive and refined nature. Titian's
Venus, Rubens huge, ruddy women,
with all their exquisite execution, and
the beauty given them by their crea-
tors, they are, to say the least, most
unattractive.-R0me Cor oaH Fran
