The Wine Fly.

1t may be the "invisiLle spirit OF wine,
which Shakespeare speaks of, that mate
riali7es in the worm and subsequent fly
called the bibio, or wine fly. These worms
are born in the sediment of wine, in emp
ty casks and in drippings from wine YES
sells and presses. They grow for about
seven weeks and then enter into the nymph
state. After about 10 days their shell
breaks, and the fly comes out. The insect
is extremely small. when its wings are not
extended not exceeding the size of pin 3
head The breast and body are yellow,
the reticulated eyes are red, and the wings
possess all the colors of the rainbow. They
prove very interesting to microscopes
and are found TO have all the regular parts
of common flies. Their antenn@ are oval
and fat, and their legs and every other part
are perfectly formed. Detroit Free Press.

Two Anecdo tes of BIackie.

Apropos Of Professor Blackie's pro-
nOuncement that Germans drink beer,
ladies tea, men wine and fools water, " it
is worth recalling that he was once pres
ent ut n semipublic dinner, where free
church ministers were in the majority,
and where in consequence all the drinks
were temperance ones; and that, when
called upon TO propose one of the toasts,
he rose, held his glass high above his
head so that all might see it, and said,
"Mr. Chairman, no man can drink toast
in cold water" This speech, though it
provoked laughter, left the party in a very
awkward quandary, which, however, the
professor thoroughly enjoyed.
Here is another story about Professor
Blackie which is not bad. Not long ago
he paid visit to the sanctum of Mr.. Da-
vid Douglas, the publisher, who WAS is
suing new book for him, "Christianity
and the Ideal of Humanity" and men
toned that he had lectured tho previous
night on Scottish home rule. Mr.. Doug
las said, 81 am astonished at your fond
ness for making an exhibition of your
self" Professor Blacllic, without anoth-
err word, turned on his heel and went
away, slamming THE door. Presently he
came back, open,s the door, thrust in his
head and said, ado you know that that's
Just what my wife tells me?"-London
Correspondent.

denly the quail, which had been following

little way from me. looked at it, and the
expression of its face was too funny for

Gone!

The people of a country town were once
startled by the lavish display upon dead
walls and hoardings of poster bearing
the announcement, ale is coming" That
was all. Who "IIen was, or when "He"
was coming. was nowhere stared.
One morning the newspapers heralded
the fact that 4" He is here" and again the
walls and hoardings took up the cry, and
told the same thing. From the announce
ment it appeared that He was 'mys-
terious wonder, who would give marvel
Gus exhibitions that night at the town hall.
The sensation created by the announce
ments, Gle is coming" and - He is here"
attracted a great crowd to the hall that
night, and the advent of the singular adj
vertiser was eagerly awaited At last the
hall was filled with paying people, and
the window Of the box Office was closed.
A bell rang. and up went the curtain. All
that could be seen was a big sign reading,
"He is gone" He was, too, and with all
the entrance money.-London Tit-Bits.

SOMETHING THAT GRoWLED.
A Story Showing just What Should Be
Dane With an Escaped Lion.

q
Done With an Escaped Lion.
A circus train had been smashed up at
the junction, many of the cages had been
broken, and their occupants had had a
chance TO escape 10 the woods and fields.
While we were waiting for the wrecking
crew to clear the debris away, aD old
darky with business look about ke,n APP
preached the circus manager and asked:
Boss, do / git anythin if | cotch de gi-
raffee what got away last night"
"No giraffe got away" was the reply.
"WaaI, | cotched sunthin ober on my
place dat must heve got away from some
body. My ole woman Gun says it's gi-
raffee, but mebbe it's elefant."
"Our elephants are all here. but one OF
the camels is &C !e.
"Mebbe it's camel nebber seed no
camel He amt cot no wings nor muffin. y
"Does it look like horse or a cow"
"No, sab. My boy Henry say it's a
nosceros, but I'ze Il leetle suspishus dat it
hain't."
"We have no rhinoceros, but it may be
our sacred bull from India"
"Does yo'rsacred bull growl like dawg
an show his teef?"
ono"
"Does he walk around a nigger's cabin
an take dog by the neck an shake de life
outer him an roar en- roar:'
"No. 1t must be one of our lionsl You
don't mean to say you have captured a
lion?"
Cant say, boss. It's sunthin dat
growls an roars an switches his tail. Him
didn't wanter cum along, but jest tied
a rope around his neck an made him.
He's tied up to dat tree ober dar, an l
reckon yo' orter gimme bout two bits fur
my trubble."
About 80 of us went up the road with
the old man, and II quarter of mile
away, tied to persimmon tree and look
ing nightly disguised, was the biggest
lion of the menagerie.
"Dunno if it's an elefant, or a nosceros,
or giraffee," said the old darkey as he
went up and began loosening the rope,
"but we're he am, an bein as he killed my
dawg, an bein as | had to drag him all de
way ober, mebbe yo' will make it TO- bits. "
"Great Scott, mani" gasped the man
ager as he gave the darky a silver dollar,
didn't you know this was lion and the
fiercest one of the whole lot;'
"No. Nebber dun knowed what he
was. Jest got rope an made him cum
along, an when he growled an roared
hammered him wild dis stick. Much
obleeged, sab will now go out an see

The Wonderful Grass Eating Turtle.

Paradoxical as it may seem, the only
known species of grass eating turtle in the
world (Xerebates agassiziD lives and
thrives on that all but barren waste the
Mohave desert, in San Bernardino county,
Cal. This queer creature grazes after the
fashion of an OK or horse, and notwith-
standing the natural scarcity of grass
seems to keep moderately fat and happy.
