months. The deceased was we'll

born in cambridge, G@, in 1857, and
was educated by Bishop Pierce at EN-

And drive the huge brutes home.

Their time is up, and so Lam afraid

The chains already are triced TO the beam
So bring the brutes along.

The pagoda bells on the evening air
Are pealing solemnly;
Naught else is heard but the croaking frogs,
With their hideous noise in the neighborins boys,
And squirrels on the tree.

A HOUSE FLY PARASITE.

An Interesting chronological Discovery
Mnde in New York.
State Entomologist Lintner recently re-
ceived from a Gouverneur lady an interesting
parasite on the common house fly. says an
Albany dispatch to the New York Times.
"It is not uncommon to find half dozen on
a single fly" the sender writes. They are
exceedingly small, being no larger than the
puncture in piece of paper by a snall-sized
pin oint, yet they are seen readily because
of their light vermllion color. The favorite
spot is on th body of the fly underneath the
bases of the wings. The parasite is mite
of the group known as the harvest mites,
bearing the scientific name OF TrOmbidium
muscaruiE, and is similar to another species
that attacks Fl les in Europe. The mite does
not multiply, unfortunately, with sufficient
rapidity to do much toward the reduction
of the number of house flies.
While infesting the fly it Is in the larval
stage, and only after leaving 1t does 1t be-
come mature and begin to propagate. For
this reason it rarely comes under Observa-
ton, and has seldom been recorded by ento-
mologists. Another species of mite some
times met with produces its young upon the
house fly with such rapidity that in few
days the body, head and limbs become COM
pletely covered with the parasite.
The fact has been spoken OF often that the
usual number of flies were not seen this
season. The reason for this would be inter-
eSting, whether an undiscovered parasite or
some new form of disease has destroyed
them
