The Vinegar Eels.

DIR. G.. Linder discusses, according to
the Microscope, the occurrence of vinegar
"eels," which are to be found in weak
or impure vinegar. The males are one
to one and one-half milimeters long,
and the females about twice as long.
They thrive we'll on diet of egg, with
stand even tolerably strong vinegar, are
killed at once by pure acetic acid, are
very slightly perturbed by artificial di-
gestive cultures, and live we'll on fruits,
bulbs, etc. The females reproduce vivi-
parously or by eggs according to the nu-
tritive medium and tire temperature, but
die soon after reproduction; nor are tie
males long lived. They flourish best
between sixty degrees and eighty derees,
are killed by a temperature of over 107
degrees, or under the freezing point;
on light and air they are very slightly
dependent, but to drought very sensitive.
After desiceation fol three or four hours
no revivifcation even of the eggs was
observed. The worms have great power
of adaptation to the most diverse condi-
tlons. Their natural home seems to be
in moist mud and putridity, but they are
rare in drinking or running water. That
millions of their genus float in the air is a
fable. How they get into the vinegar
is uncertain; but they probably insinuate
themselves at certain stages of its manu-
facture. In vinegar prepared from wine
by the quick process they are rare. The
''vinegar cells" adds our informant, 'sare
not exactly dangerous, but it is at
once safe and more appetizing to
make sure either that the vinegar is of
the better sort, or, at least, boiled
and filtered.

AFRAID OF HIMSELF,

A big, tall Westeraer staggered into a
well-known hotel the other night at about
eleven O'Clock, and demanded his money,
which was locked up in the safe. The clerk
bluntly told him that he couldn't have it.
.'Ain't the monish miner ~ asked wrath
fully. Eyes: but you can't lave it till to-mor-
row. You'd better go to your ROOM" The
guest begged and threatened and demanded,
but to no purpose. Then he let bell boy
take him upstairs. When he had gone the
clerk said to bystander: Tomorrow
morning that man will come down here and
thank me for refusing to let him have the
money. Whenever he comes to town with
the intention of going on spree he takes out
of his wallet all the money he wishes to spend
that night and hands me the remainder, tell
ing me to lock it up for him and refuse to
let him have it until he gets seber. About
midnight or little later he will come In aaf'
do as he did just now-try to make me gM

BLUE RIBBON 5vIrArroNs.

'Blue ribbon invitatio IS" to dinner are a
social innovation in this city Indicative OF
the steady progress OF tie temperance re-
form According to the New York Tribune
there has come to be difference in practice
among people of good taste and position in
New York, who enjoy the presence of their
friends at dinner" with reference to serving
wine. 1t says: 'In many houses. as mat
ter of principle. wine is never placed upoD
the table, and in others wine is occasionally
omitted for special reasons. For long time
there has been social need in the city for
some quiet, pretty, and effective manner ct
indicating in invitations to dinner. whethA
or not wine will be served, in order that in
vited guests may have full knowledge of tt.
facts. A movement has been begun, orSgt
mating socially and seconded by one of the
popular stationers of the city, for indicating
that wine will not be served during the affair
by attaching knot of blue ribbon to the
lower left-hani corner of the invitations" A
delightful dinner entertainment was recently
given upon this plan, attended by large
number of society people. The Tribune adds
sit is believed that the blue-ribbon invire-
tions will solve difficulty, with which 20
ciety has long contended, requests for om's

A Iaborer at the Dundee harbor lately told
his wife, on awakening curious dream
which be had during the night. He dreamed
that he saw coming toward him, in order,
four rats. The first was one very fat, and
was followed by two lean rats, the rear rat
being blind The dreamer was greatly per-
picked as to what evil might follow, as it
has been understood that to dream of rats
denotes coming calamity. He appealed to
his wife concerning this, but she, poor
woman, could not help him. His son, a

OVERHEARD TALK.

Some Droll Things Dropped In Me mory's
Casiset by n Boston Editor.
The things which one overhears in
the horse-cars are unlimited, and often
they are very droll, says the Boston
Courier. Only mildly diverting was the
bit of dialogue overheard the other day.
The speakers wero two old women, who
were cackling away in an animated gos-
sip, their meeting evidently being the
first for some time.
"Well," observed one, 81 guess Sarah
Jones will ba surprised when tell her
seen YOU"
"Land O. Goshen!" exclaimed the 9th.
or. "You don't mean to tell me that
you know Sarah Jones. Well, If that
don't beat all. Why, If you know Sarah
Jones you must know pretty nigh every
body in this world"
The logic of the observation was not
evident, but the tone of admiring won
der in which it was delivered made every
hearer feel that in failing to know Sarah
Jones he had failed to make his lite a
success, and that socially he could never
be any thing but most complete fail
ure.
And speaking Of talk which one over
hears reminds the editor of bit of
worldly wisdom spoken by a countryman
on one Of the Lake Sebago steamers.
The rustic was talking with somewhat
wizened-up old lady, who was evidently
his mother, and the latter was heard to
say to him:
"Wall, now, Sam, I don't think you
treated Lucindy just rightin the matter.
She felt awful bad about it."
"Wall," the son responded, medita-
lively and with an amount OF worldly
wisdom for which one was not at all pre-
pared from such source, "I'm kind O.
sorry, but then gals will stand sight
more from fellers than fellers will from
gals"
And the wrinlSled old woman sighed
and was silent, as II she felt the impos-
sibility Of controverting so obvious a
proposition and remembered her own
youth and the things that had happened
| to her then,
