The Flea.

Speaking of tleas-and they are a
COMMON topic of conversation in some
parts Of the United States-as com
mon a subject as mosquitoes in New
Jersey or flies in other places-certain
British and other scientists have late
ly discovered that flea becomes old
and iniirm within twenty days after
its birth, although some heas have
been known to live to be ninety days
old when especially well.fed. Up to
the fifteenth day of It's career the flea
Is able to do a considerable amount
of execution. After that length of
time 1t becomes rather sluggish and
Indifferent. These are important ad.
ditions to the literature of the flea.
1t has long been known that the flea
Is no respecter of persons-is, in fact,
very promiscuous in its associations;
that 1t is extremely agile; that a
settlement of fleas anywhere soon be-
comes overcrowded; that feas thrive
on most poisons; that they can easily
distract ones attention from the most
important topics, and that they are
meaner, much meaner than flies in
their manners-are, in fact the most
impollte of insects.
