The Wonderful Aphis.

The aphis is in one way the most
startling of all forms of insect life, for,
although the females can and do lay
eggs, its usual method of increase is by
a sort of budding process, the young
growing on the bodies of the parent
exactly as brussels sprouts grow out of
the stalks of the plant. The old pro
duce young at the rate of twenty-five a
day, and as the young are at once ma
ture each can produce its twenty-five
on the following day. 1t positively
frightens one to work this multiplica-
tion out to conclusion, for 1t means
this: Supposing that the aphide could
increase and multiply without interfer-
ence, the twenty-ffth. generation would
be a number too long to quote here.
, Put down l and follow it with TWEEN
ty-eight naughts and you will be with
In few millions of it.

Tommy's Hobby.

The following happened in Man
chester school the other day. The
teacher had been speaking of unique
and valuable collections of objects of
art and interest and spoke of the fabu-
lous wealth that had been expended
by some of the collectors ON their pc
culiar hobbies
Thinking to obtain some idea of the
characters of the members of his class
in this direction, he asked them what
they thought they would like to collect
if they had plenty of money.
Up went the hand of boy who was
not noted for particular brilliance-iT
fact, answers from him were yer,
scarce on any subject. SO this oppor
tunity was seized by the teacher
well, Tommy, and what would yo,
collect?'
"Rents, SIR" was the prompt reply.
The lesson was changed and thai
teacher is recovering from the shock

survivors of the Civil war, Rev. Mr..
Sturges said that the principals
bought by their blood and the blood
of those who died were enjoyed as a
matter of course by the younger gen.
GRAFTON, but the great struggle brought
out a type of manhood that stands
ready to shed their blood for an ideal
or principal.
"The seventeen bodies of those
mere boys recently brought back from
Vera Cruz for burial bore witness to
that" he said. Although our gov
ernment is having some awkward
troubles" he added, American man
hood can be trusted to lay down
their lives if necessary for their coun-
try" Although the corruptions that
are heard of every day might be
thought to represent the will and the
temper of the people, he felt sure
that American manhood could be
trusted now as years ago.
