Poor Me.

The custom of pinning papers on the
clothing of unsuspecting persons forms a
venerable April fool joke. In fact, it is
so timeworn and shows so little invent
iveness that one is occasionally surprised
at finding it still considered funny.
Sometimes, however, even so ancient
a pleasantly takes an unexpected turn.
A little boy was deftly pinning bit of
paper to an old gentleman's coat, when
the latter suddenly turned, saw him, and
laid OBTAINING hand on his shoulder.
What's that you're doing?" he asked
gruffly. What are you putting that
piece of paper on my coat for?"
"For-for an April fool, sir, stam-
mered the boy, too much confused to
evade the question,
The gentleman suddenly marched him
along to a mirror in shop window.
"There, said he, "look at your own
back.
On the boys jacket was pinned a paper
of startling size, which certainly must
have rustled audibly as he walked.
"Who did understand you to say was
the April fool?" inquired the gentleman
politely; and the boy opened his lips for
one word, more humble than grammati-
cal, Me.

Seven Queer Children.

People of Munsou, Pa, claim to have
among them the queerest family as to
physical popularity in the whole coun-
try. Jacob Hers farmer in moderate
circumstances, has seven children. The
Oldest is 16, a bright boy, but having 13
fingers and IL toes-seven on one hand
and six on the other, his toes being sinh
ilary divided. Next to him is another
boy, IA years old. As long as this boy
is quiet no one would suppose he had
any popularity, but the moment he
troll of his hands. arms, feet, and legs,
and they jerk and thrash and kick
around as if they were hung on wires.
The boy is as slow of speech as his
limbs are active, and in answering a
simple question it is no uncommon
thing for his legs to have carried him a
rod or more away before he is able to
articulate yes or no. The boy does not
seem to mind his affliction, and not only
does not hesitate to respond or try to
when he is addressed, but is always
ready to begin conversation on the
slightest excuse. He can be seen al
most any day arguing with or explain
ing some point to some companion, who
is kept constantly busy either in avoid
ing the involuntary kicks or blows of

Flies Feet.

We frequently call flies a nuisance,
set traps for them, poison them, and do
our best to annihilate them as worthless
and intolerable creatures; and yet the
life of fly is one Of busy usefulness for
the service and good of man. He is a
scavenger of untiring activity, and with
30 keen and quick a vision that no par
ticle of offensive matter can escape him.
1t is his business to pounce upon every
such speck, and remove it at once. With
every such particle he carries away a
miasma that would poison the air we
breathe.
Some of these particles are too small
to be visible, but as they are infinite in
number, if left to accumulate, they
would soon be greater plague than an
army of flies. At times the buzzing in
sects may seem a torment hard to be
borne, but their services should not be
forgotten.
If the foot of a fly is put under the
glass of a good microscope, it may be
seen how simple is the contrivance that
seems able to defy the laws of gravita-
tion. The foot is made up of two pads,
covered with short hairs, with pair Of
curved hooks above them. Behind each
pad is tiny bag filed with clear liquid
gum, the hairs also being hollow, and
filled with the same sticky fluid.
AS the fly glides rapidly over smooth
surface, every step presses out a supply
of gum, strong enough to give him a
sure footing, and to sustain him in safety
if he halts. So strong is the cement
that that upon one Of his six feet is quite
sufficient to sustain the weight of his
whole body. But if he stands still the
gum may dry up and harden quickly,
and so securely fasten the travellers foot
as to make a sudden step snap the leg
itself.
When it is remembered that each pad
is furnished with at least thousand
hairs or tubes of cement it is wonderful
how MANY escape unframed.
