SaIlies INDUCED in by Preachers.

The sallies INDUCED IN by eminent
preachers to awake sleepers would fill a
volume. Here are two of the best: DR.
South, preaching before Charles II, and
perceiving that several of the worldly court
circle were about mapping, stopped and
called loudly to Lord Lauderdale by name:
My lord, my lord, / am sorry to interrupt
your repose, but | must beg of you not to
snore quite so loud, lest you awaken his
majesty"
But perhaps for dry and pungent humor
and keen satire Dean Swift's famous ser
mon on Sleeping in Church., in which he
takes the Eutychus episode in Acts for his
text, has never been equaled. Il have
chosen" so ne begins his sermon, these
swords with design il possible to disturb
csome part of this audience of half an hours
sleep, for the convenience and exercise
thereof this place ut this season of the day
is very much celebrated" He thus i'm
proves the text: The preachers now in the
world, however much they may exceed St.
Paul in the art of setting men to sleep, do
extremely fall snort of him in the power of
working miracles; therefore hearers are be-
comes more cautious, SO as to choose more
safe and convenient stations and positions

peri6ps, and upon the whole matter choose

New YORK, Aug. 15.-As regards the
enormous bulge in wheat and rye that took
place to-day, one of the largest exporters
on the produce exchange, who returned
last May from an exhaustive inspection of
the grain fields of Europe, and
has since been profting by the
information thus acquired, said
that the steady rise of values
and tn excitable condition of the markets
was chic fly due to the ignorance of E.u-
ropean commission merchants. who mag
ined that the deficiency in Russia would be
made up by the American crop. We raise
an insignificant quantity of rye for home
consumption, he said, and yet Eu-
ropeans continue selling short for
delivery on the false basis that they can
get all they want from America The next

The Friendships of Robert Browning.

During as well as after his married life
Browning cultivated many acquaintance.
To men he was generally reserved OF his
women friends he made contidants. These
close friendships were necessarily often
marked by interesting circumstances or
distinctive character. Some of these friend
ships are enshrined already by name in his
poetry. la Saisiaz," for instance, is con-
nected with "A. E. S."-Miss Egerton-
Smith, one of his Oldest women friends,
who joined Mr.. and Miss Browning in
many Of their summer holidays, and who
was his companion for many years at all
musical entertainments. The name of an
other dear friend-Mrs. Arthur Bronson
is familiar to all of the poets readers
from the dedication to ''Asolando." OF
ether friends there was Miss Blagden,
more particularly, who. was nearest and
most helpful TO him in the early days of
his great bereavement, and Mrs. Fitzger-
aid, to whom very many of his most inter-
estlng letters in later years were addressed.

GLOWWORMS.
The Firefiies of the Tropics and Some of
the Uses Made of Them.

the Uses Made OF Inem.
The seat of light in the glowworm is in
the tail, and proceeds from three luminous
sacs in the last segment of the abdomen.
The male has only two of these, and the
light proceeding from them is comparative
ly small. During favorable weather the
light CLOVIS steadily, but at other times is
not constant. The firefiies of the tropics
those composing the genus lampyris-vary
10 the extent that while certain species
control their light others are without this
power, says The Cornhill Magazine. The
larva of the glowworm is capable of emit
ting light, but not to be compared to that
OF the developed insect. Both in its mature
and immature forms lampyris noctiiuca
plays a useful part in the economy of ma
snre. To the agriculturist and fruit grower
it is special friend. Its diet consists al
most wholly of small shelled snails, and it
comes upon the scene just when these farm
and garden pests are most troublesome.
By the dusky daughters of TIE tropics
firehies are often studded in their coiled
and braided hair, and perform somewhat
the same Office as the diamond for more
civilized bellies. Spanish ladies and those
of the West Indies inclose fiTetiies in bags
of lace or gauZe and wear them amid their
hair OF disposed about their persons. The
luminosity of the modest English insect is
far outshone by several of its congeners.
Some of these are used in various ways for
illumination, and it is said that the bril-
liancy of the light is such that the smallest
print can be read by that proceeding from
the thoracic spots alone when single in
sect is moved along the lines. In the Span
ism settlements firefies are frequently used
in curious way when travelling at night
The natives tie an insect to each great toe
and on fishing and hunting expeditions
make torches of them by fastening several
together. The same people have a summer
festival at which the garments of the
young people are covered with firefies,
and, being mounted on fine horses similar
~ ornamented, the latter gallop through
the dusk, the whole producing the effect of
large moving light.
