by wiggletails. There is no insect
known to me to which this name prop
erly applies, although l think it posi-
BILE that you may mean the larvae OF
mosquitoes. There are great many
kinds of mosquitoes and these vary
considerably in their habits, but all
lay their eggs in water and have
larvae which lash their tail from side
to side when swimming. and for the
most part they may be described as
long slender insects about quarter
of an inch in length, dark brown in
color and with tufts of hair down the
sides. These may be found in spring
in enormous numbers in fresh water
ponds and other bodies of stagnant
water. 1t is not likely that any insect
in your we'll has come from a cess
pool. because, the insects which live
in filthy water are quite different
from those that live in clean water

Central African Lakes Drying Up.

In 1859, some distance southeast of
Lake Nyassa, in. central Africa, Liv-
ingstone discovered Lake Shirwa. d
body of water about thirty miles
long and fifteen miles wide. which has
now entirely disappeared with the ex-
ception of a few ponds. Lake Nyami.
discovered by Livingstone at the same
time, has also disappeared. The cause
of the change appears to be grad
ual drying up of bodies of water in
Central Africa. AS marking the re-
suits of single half-century the
changes named show rapidity of mu-
tation in those inland waters not
equaled elsewhere in the contempo-
rary geographer's survey, though the
shrinking of Salt lake in Utah is also
very remarkable.

Duty a Cordial.

No mans spirits were ever hurt by
doing his duty; on the contrary, one
good action, one temptation, resisted
and overcome. one sacrifice of desire
or interest, purely for conscience sake,

spirits, far beyond what either indul-
gence or diversion. or company. can
do for them.-Paley.

In the construction of a pump the
larger the pipe throughout the greater
will be the flow, provided you have
power enough. The larger pipe above
the cylinder makes it easier to work
on account of reducing friction The
larger pipe below the cylinder will
admit the water faster, but if it adj
mits the water as fast as the pump
above can carry it away, there is
nothing to be gained in increasing it's
size. Therefore, the need for larger
pipe below depends on the amount OF
power applied, and can be determined
only by experiment. If the pump does
not deliver fast enough, and works
easily, that means that there is more
power available than is required, and,
therefore, the larger pipe above the
cylinder, and possibly below, is neces-
sary in order to secure greater flow
OF water.
The position of the cylinder does
not materially affect the rate of flow
or the ease of working. The cylinder
must not be more than twenty-five
feet or Whereabouts, above the level OF
the water

1t will require 1885 bricks for this
dwelling. A bay window would cost
about $35, that is, square one having
four windows, one on each end and
two in the center. The size of window
would be governed by the size of the
house, and the room in which it would
be placed. Three and one-half by nine
feet is very good size for a window.
1t would require eight squares of shin
giles and fourteen sets of rafters, set
ting them at two feet centers.

The Loving Dead.

We hold our sacred dead aloof.
We put them by like treasures old.
No more for them or hearth or roof.
But narrow dwellings lone and cold,
The dear, warm hearts that fell asleep!
Why shun them in our secret thought?
Why ever at distance keep
AS If some change We're in them
wrought?
They cease not from their constant love,
They are not strange and far away;
Their presences about us move
Closer than presences of clay.
How it must grieve them. when they
Heart-close, and find no welcome there.
Or whisper love- and find us dumb.
Forgetful hedged with servile care!

Closer and closer, when they move
Beyond the veil. For no one knows
The preciousness of human love!
