THE CENTIPEDE.

"Centipede" is q sort of generic name, ap-
piled to the numerous kinds of worms which
seem to have very absurdly large number of
feet and legs-more than they have any use
for. The word signifies "a hundred feet"
Anything of this sort, from the thousand leg
ged worm," with which every country boy is
familiar, to the swift-running, poisonous worm
of Texas, may be properly called centipede
The centipede known to portions of the army
was venomous, not to the extent of being fatal,
but its bite was something which it was great
deal more pleasant not to have. Unless anti
dotes were quickly applied, it would cause a
large and painful swelling, sometimes result
ing in 4 malignant sore. This worm was usu-
ally found in the same localities as the taran-
tula. 1t was one of the numerous crosses the
Fourth Corps had to bear during its sojourn in
the Lone Star State. 1t was tradition among
the soldiers that the centipede would leave be-
hind poisoned trail when he crawled over
any portion of the body, but personal OBJ
servation and experience did not verify this.
He would creep around in very unpleasantly
familiar way, but if he was not worried he was
not likely to bite. If his temper was ruffied,
he would take his revenge if you didn't get
the drop" on him. Although there were many
eases of painful bites from these WORMS on the
whole the name was more demoralizing than
the thing itself. We consider him, however,
worthy of place in our picture gallery.

in the garments left by the tailor or those re-
suting from the wear and tear of the service.
Then he would look around to find some tender
spot and settle down to his work. You
wouldn't generally know he was around until
he had burrowed nearly or quite under the
skin. He could easily get there in the course
of night. for the tick neither slumbered nor
slept when he was after soldier. On getting
up in the morning you would feel, perhaps on
the arm or the succulent part of the leg, an
itching sensation something like that which
followed the efforts of the pediculus only good
deal more so. Applying the hand to the spot,
your touch if at all sensitive, would detect
small lump that you instinctively felt didn't
belong there. In fact after little experience
you wonld know right away that you had a
woodtick,
Or THAT HE HAD YOU,
according to the view you took of it. After
getting fully acquainted with the insect, there
was scarcely possibility of making mistake
as to what the matter was. His industrious
habits made it desirable to muster him out Of
the Confederate service as soon as possible
There was no telling where he wouldn't plow
his way if left free to carry on his little cam
paign. So you would at once prepare for an
inspection by taking off your shirt or trousers
as the case might require, according to the To-
cation of the lump. If it happened to be around
where you couldn't get at it you would get
remedy If the tick had only his head under
the skin, it was not difficult matter. A grasp
with thumb and finger and a quick jerk would
separate the blood-distended body of the tick
from the head. leaving the latter where it was,
to be removed by little heroic treatment with
q jack knife The woodtick never let go, and
you couldn't draw him out whole any more
easily than you can fish hook after it has
entered your finger past the barb. You could
only dispose of the tick by pulling him in two
and getting rid of him in sections.
The largest and most persevering w0odticks
our regiment ever encounted lived-and good
many of them died-in the woods between
Pittsburg Landing and Corinth during the
siege in the Spring of '62. We found them
more numerous there than anywhere else dur
ing Our four years of experience. The writer
remembers one morning finding three of them
boring into the juicy parts of his anatomical
system: One had made such rapid progress that
the knife of the Surgeon was found necessary,
and he wore plaster on the spot for month.
The woedtick is not yenomous 1t is not likely
that he ever killed anybody, bat he was re-
sponsible fer very large amount of profanity
during the war.

The picture represents, on magnifed scale,
the black fly. He is small, being scarcely an
eighth of an inch in length, but he is gifted with
wonderful abilities in the way of Fostering man
or beast. These flies were rarely found in the
open country or on high ground, but in the
swamps and canebrakes of Mississippi and Ala
bama they were terrible. Their peculiar
method of torture was to get into the ears and
nose-and the mouth, if it wasn't kept tightly
closed-and bore and bite and buzz until the
victim was we'll nigh crazed. Horses and mules
were sometimes so beset by countless thousands
of these tiny insects, that they became almost
unmanageable in their desperate efforts to escape
from their tormentors. A few times circum-
stances compelled Us to bivouac for the night
among the black flies, but nobody slept any to
speak of. They were, if possible, worse than
mosketos. We only struck them occasionally,
but when we did they made the most of their
opportunities. They were an unmitigated
nuisance.

THE ARMY PESTS,
"ShOuld Old Acquaintance Be Forgot,
and Never Brought TO Mind ?"
BY LT.-coL. W. F. HINMAN, 65TH OHIO.

Among the memories of the war there are
none more vivid than those of the numerous
little pests that of one kind or another, day
and night, year in and year out foraged upon
the body of the soldier. In every new locality
there seemed TO be fresh assortment of eager
insects, to cause bodily discomfort and drive
away sleep. One particular kind was with the
soldier continually-his close and intimate
companion in camp and hospital, on the march
and the battlefield. Bullets and screaming
shell were not pleasant, but as a rule they only
came to US now and then; while the bugs and
worms and insects, in every form that flies or
creeps were with US always Many of them,
though annoying, were harmless, while others
seemed to have been created for the especial
purpose of spelling mems tempers and getting
them into the habit of using bad language. In
this article we present some characteristics of
those which made themselves most obnoxious
to the soldiers, and which we imagine few
have forgotten. There can be no question as
to which is entitled to first place on the list
Every soldier who marched and scratched will
accord to him the post of honor. Here is a
picture Of the fellow that I" took the cake:
The National tribune., 1885-06-18

This nimble insect is known, BY slight
parapbrase of Scripture, as the wicked fea,"
as will be seen by reference to the 1st verse of
the 2sth chapter of Proverbs. The physical
popularity of the flea is isiumping propensity,
and the consequent difficulty of catching him.
Sometimes you want him, and want him bad,
but your experience is generally like that
of the Irishman-you "put your finger on him
and he isn't there" In this respect the flea is
wiser and smarter that his fellows. Most of
the bugs and insects that poster the human
family become SO absorbed in their biting and
blOOd-sucking that they are wholly oblivious
of personal safety. While they are gorging
themselves they think of nothing else, until
there comes well-directed slap and they go
to join the innumerable caravan. But it isn't
80 with the flea. He is believer in the Hudi-
Drastic theory that
He who bites and runs away
May live to bite another day.
He keeps the danger flag flying when upon his
forays and whenever his quick eye detects a
hostile demonstration he gives one of those
jumps that have made his name proyerb
The trouble of catching flea appears to have
been recognized in all ages of the world. Proof
OF this may be found by another Bible refer
enee-see 1st Samuel, chapter "a, verse IA, and
chapter 26, verse 20.
Referring to our scientific book we find that
there are 10 distinct varieties of feas, nfesting
dlnerent animals Our cut gives an excellent
representation of the "human flea" though, of
course, many times enlarged. This flea is very
fastidious in his tastes. He doesn't like dog or
mule, aud preys upon the human race. 1t is
not often that he gets so good q chance as the
army afforded him. At some times and places
the fieas were exceedingly annoying. infesting
clothing, blankets, and old straw, biting and
hopping around in q way that was most trying
to the temper. 1t was their agility in getting
away that made fellow mad in spite of him
SELF Even after the lapse of 20 years it is i'm
possible for any old soldier to think of the pes
tiferous army flea with any degree of caImness.
