WAYS OF THE EOACH.
The Bane of Housewives—• Where Hi
Conies from and What He Eats.
The roach has been the faithful at
tendant of humanity ever since written
history began, but the abominable extent
of this faithfulness has arisen in civilized
communities chiefly within recent times.
There is a roach, a little, outdoor, inno
cent kind, that is supposed to be in
digenous in this country. It lives in the
fields, under stones and rubbish, and is
good food for birds. But the common
cockroach of the home and fireside came
from the Levant in ships and bales ot
merchandise to England, of which coun
try Wood, the writer on bugs, says, “it
has completely talien possession.” At
first, as in this country, it was confined
to seaport towns, but th6 climate in the
neighborhood of kitchen fires suited it,
and the drippings about the kitchen .sinks
gave it the moisture which is as essential
to it as food, and so it strayed and spread,
coming across the sea to America quickly,
and staying and spreading here, too, un
til the nuisance of its presence, which has
increawid.every year, has reached in New
York and other large cities along the
coast an extent that is idmost intoler
able. The kitchen fires long since ceased
to satisfy the desires of its soul. It has
followed water and steam pipes all over
buildings of every sort. Office buildings
and stores are as much overrun with the
insects as dwellings. The only relief is
in the constant killing of them, and there
are men in New York who make a busi
ness, and a profitable one, of ridding
hotels and large private houses of the
pests. Even this professional work does
no permanent good, but only brings re
lief for a time.
The roach is, entomologically speaking,
an Orthoptera. In plain English he be
longs to the grasshopper family. Scien
tifically he is a blatta orientalis, and has
four wings that he doesn’t use, and that
are absent entirely in the females of
most species, a black or reddish brown
body that reaches an inch in length if
the bug isn’t killed first. Long, awl-
shaped antennas, each with eighty joints,
decorate his head. The bugs will eat al
most anything they can find. Flour,
bread, meat, clothes and shoes are some
of their delicacies. In dwellings their
usual forage is the crumbs and other
leavings of the kitchen and table. They
are essentially nocturnal, disappearing
into chinks and crevices the moment a
light appears, but of late they have be
come so abundant in New York that the
chinks and crevices won’t hold them,
and they are perforce seen much around
during the daylight.
The roach is not as rapid a breeder as
many other insects, but it seems to have
remarkable success in raising families.
The eggs are laid in a little bean-shaped
capsule, three-eighths of an inch long and
half as wide. In this the eggs, about
thirty in number, lio like peas in a pod
for several days, when the pod opens at
one side and lets the little, soft, white
baby roaches out, after which it closes
tight again and gives no sign that the
eggs are not within as before. The fe
males. before the eggs are hatched, draw
the egg sac around behind them wher
ever they go, and their appearance with
this appendage has excited much interest
among kitchen amateurs in bugology.
After the young are hatched, the female
is said to brood over them somewhat as a
hen does. In three or four days the
young bug turns from white to brown
and is ready for business.
A peculiarly disagreeable feature of the
roach is the bad habit it has of discharg
ing from its mouth a dark colored liquid
that has a most disgusting smell. Every
place which the insects frequent becomes
in time impregnated with this nauseous
odor, which sometimes is so powerful
that it sensibly affects the flavor of pro
visions that have been left in larders in
which roaches are plentiful.
Another kind of roach is officially
known as the ectobia Germanica, and is
peculiarly fond of Boston, where it is
known as the “Croton bug.” This insect
has got over the nocturnal habits of the
ordinary roach. It goes around freely in
daylight, and for real solid meals prefers
wheat bread. As a light lunch it is par
tial to cloth bound books. Leather bound
books it will not touch.
In Lapland they have the blatta lap-
ponica, smaller than the common roach,
but with such astonishing voracity that
they frequently devour in one day the
entire stock of dried fish in a Laplander’s
cabin.
Fully as voracious are a sort of roaches
that infest ships. It sometimes occurs
that the steward going to open a box of
crackers finds inside nothing but a mass
of roaches. In St. Petersburg it has been
necessary to destroy houses that had been
made uninhabitable by roaches.
There are in all some 900 different
roaches that have been caught and cata
logued. A large section of the world is
still to hear from.
With all his manifold vices it is pleasant
to know that the roach is not altogether
bad. There yet remains in the breast of
«ven the fattest and ugliest roach that
ever spoiled a custard pie one sentiment
■prang from the heaven born heart of
tb06e fiery swords from which his race is
descended. Though innumerable dam
aged dinners, ruined luncheons without
and and an uncounted host of breakfasts
made odious by his unwelcome presence
Ike charged up against him; though many
firesides have been desolated by him and
■nmberless pantries laid waste, yet let
there, injustice, be set against his name
CDS legend of righteousness—the roach
cats bedbugs.
Many things eat roaches. Birds and
afi. insectivorous animals are especially
find of them. Hedgehogs dote on them,
fir England hedgehogs are sometimes kept
m. kitchens on purpose to devour the
coaches. It is also said that in the Isle of
Krance there exists a sort of sand wasp
preys upon roaches.—New York
Something; tor Furniture Makers.
Nature has provided a new industry for
fiimiture makers, by so working on a
aedwood tree that its grain becomes curly
and assumes fantastic shapes. The wood
isent into veneers, polished and sold for
aoEd rosewood.—Boston Budget.

Women and Mont Blanc.
Sixty-one women in All have the
ascent of Mont Blanc. “The fact is tes
tified,” says a correspondent of Gal:gnaUi,
“by the’antique register religiously kept
at the office of the guides at Chamonix,
as everybody may see for himself. The
book is a more faithful record than one
might expect. Just as on some ill fated
precipice on the Alps a wooden cross
marks the spot where a too adventurous
climber has met his death, so here a
lugubrious cross is set against the name
of every victim who has failed to reach
his journey’s end, and the oft recurring
formula, Ttequiescat in pace, may per
haps account for the reluctance with
which the book is shown to intending ex
cursionists.
‘ -The first female ascent of the giant of
the Alps was made by two French women,
one of aristocratic and the other of ple
beian birth. Their example was quickly
followed in after seasons, and in the end
the record stands as follows: English
women, 32; French women, 15; Russian
women, 4; American women, 3: Swiss
women, 2, and Prussian. Danish, Hun
garian, Italian and Austrian, 1 each.
Eleven of these ladies accompanied their
husbands. The mania for making ascents,
through evil and good report, has this
year lieen rather conspicuous, the excur
sions to the summit having numbered
thirty-nine as against an average of
eleven. The French on this occasion
have taken the lead, followed not very
closely by Englishmen and English
women, and still further off by Ameri
cans and Germans. Most of the Fresch
who have ventured forth to the summit
are members of the Alpine club, while
those of other nationalities depend for the
most part upon then- own resources or tho
counsel of guides.”—Pall M ill Gazette.
The Value of Pure Coffee.
Mr. W. J. Hammond, engineer and
general manager of the Western Sao
Paulo railway company, Brazil, bears
pleasant witness to the virtues of coffee
and strongly denounces the use of adul
terants. Many people will be able to in
dorse his high opinion of the value of
“strong, pure, black coffee as a stimu
lant when the body is run down through
physical labor, ” but his assertion that,
beyond this stimulating power, coffee has
great disinfecting properties and is used
by many who have to travel through
miasmatic districts as a preventive against
fevers will be new to many.
He states that the Rev. Father Kene-
lam Vaughan, who but a few years back
made a journey by land from Panama
down to the River Plate, passing in and
among and over the Andes during a
space of three years, used coffee alone as
a stimulant, although he had once to run
the gauntlet through a long, rock bound
valley in Colombia in which the water
remained stagnant year after year, and
the narrowness of the gorge prevented
sufficient sunlight and heat from entering
to dispel the vapors. When asked what
he took in this horrible place, called by
the natives by the significant name of
Valley of Death, he replied: 1 ‘Why, cof
fee, of course!” The same gentleman
also reports that since the natives in the
pestilential districts near Guayaquil, in
Ecuador, have substituted coffee for their
former beverages the death rate has
fallen very considerably.—Home Knowl
edge.
Origin of the 6. A. R.
Its originator was Dr. Benjamin F.
Stephenson, a physician of Springfield,
Ills., who had served as surgeon in the
Fourteenth Illinois infantry during the
war. He first suggested the idea in Feb
ruary, 1866. Published accounts state
that Decatur, Ills., was the birthplace of
the order, but the only living comrade of
the four who were present at the first
muster and mutually took the obligation,
according to the ritual Dr. Stevenson had
prepared, says that it was fbunded at
Springfield.
The first formal organization of a post
occurred, however, beyond question, on
April 6, 1866, at the village of Decatur,
which contained only forty-three Union
soldiers.
Among the originators of the Gnyid
Army of the Republic were Messrs. Col-
trin and Pryor, proprietors of The Deca
tur Tribunfe, and their compositors, who
printed the first ritual of the Grand Army,
as written by Dr. Stephenson.
Soon after Post No. 2 was formed at
Springfield, and others were quickly in
stituted throughout Illinois, Wisconsin,
Indiana, Ohio, Iowa and Missouri.
On July 12, 1866, the first department
encampment was held at Springfield, Ills.
John M. Palmer was elected department
commander.—New York Herald.
A Serenade in Dahomey.
That night, perhaps, as a soother to my
nerves, the king gave us a serenade by
his own private band. I was awakened
about midnight by a noise that I can com
pare to nothing but a thunderstorm in
scales. They ran from high to low, and
got terribly mixed in the middle. It was
not really unpleasant, but, like the chim
ing of bells, should be heard at a distance
—the greater the distance the better. I
sprang to the window to find that this
band consisted of twenty-two men, each
with a log or piece of wood, the largest
so heavy that it took four men to carry
it. These were set, one end on the ground,
tl\e other supported by a wooden trestle,
and beaten on the high end with wooden
hammers, of all sizes, from the hand
hammer to a sledge, each stick of log
emitting its sound, but no distinguishable
air resulting.—North American Review.
The Delights of Collecting.
What boy is there that can look un
moved upon a bird’s nest, nor seek to add
the eggs it may contain to that cherished
depository he proudly gloats over and de
nominates “my collection?” What young
girl is there who never felt the impulse
move her to acquire stores of dried fern
fronds, wild flowers, seaweeds or shells?
There is a delight in the mere fact of col
lecting that many will carry on far into
the riper years, though then they will
cheat themselves with the belief that they
are studying, or doing something that has
wise or profitable aim.—Time.
A Gardener’s Discovery.
An English gardener has discovered
that the peculiar, strong and to most
persons disagreeable flavor of parsnips
may be avoided by sowing the seed quite
late in the season, so as to have the roots
attain most of their size in the fall instead
of in the summer.—Chicago Times.
ftt your instructions tot your patients,
be particular in giving minute directions
concerning diet. This halt great effect on
the minds of old women, especially, if'
their maladies are in a great measure
imaginary. Give a list of what is to be
eaten at breakfast, dinner and supper,
and you may depend upon being made
the subject of conversation, and will be
considered very clever.
I brought myself into notice, and
gained several prominent families, by
recommending to a wealthy old lady the
left leg of a boiled fowl. Once when I
was away on a short vacation, this old
lady took sick and was obliged to send
for a neighboring physician, who, by the
way, was really a well read man. On
his attempting to persuade her that the
left leg possessed no particular virtue, she
became quite indignant and uncompli
mentary.—Western Medical Reporter.
Harnessing Nature’s Forces.
One of the latest attempts to harness
the forces of nature for the service of
man is the adaptation of a windmill for
the turning of a dynamo, the electricity
thus obtained being stored in suitable bat
teries, and afterward used in lighting
beacons for the benefit of the maritime
interests. There is a station of this kind
near the mouth of the Seine, and consid
erable success has been obtained.—Clii-
cac rr > News.
Patch on a Negro’s Shin.
There is a negro in a New York hos
pital who has a patch of light colored
skin on his back. It was grafted there,
he having lost the origiual cuticle by fall
ing against a roller in a shoe factory.
The pieces were taken from the arms of
a young medical student. At first the
transplanted skin remained white, but it
is said to be slowly turning black.—Chi
cago Herald.
