the summer, large nitnihers of
these pestiferous insects generate iri
the stiiohle fields, meadows, ntni
corn fields. Almost nny tender
weed or grass affords proper protec
tion nod food for them. Their
mode of reproduction is rnpid ttnd
somewhat peculiar. The fly bores
through the tender skin of I lie young
when; or other plant nnil deposits
Br.ttmhir of eggs just where the
plant bursts from the seed. At first
these opes nrc microscopic nod coat
ed by a thin mucus. In thecourse
of ten days, if warm weather, these
little eggs begin to grow; and in
eight or ten days more a small
striped worm crawls forth from
them. When deposited in the |
autumn of a tolerably cold winter,
the worms do not develops until !
the following March or April. These
worms first cut their way out of
the plant in which they me de
posited; then they prey upon the
tender vegetation around them, and
in about ten days crawl under any
trash, weeds, or dead grass and
weave a thin web around them
selves, where they remain a few
days to put on wings, and lieenmo
capable of reproducing themselves.
Last winter not legs titan four gener
ations of these voracious insects
were deposited and developed in
the wheat crop. It was these suc
cessive generations that destroyed
the crop.
Have we any remedy to prevent
tlie depredations of these insects?
If the winter is very warm we have
not. Ordinarily turning ail lands
to he sown it: wheat, and till stubble
lands adjoining (lie wheat fields,
so as to destroy till shelter for the
fly. would do a great deal of good.
It would also pay to burn the leaves
on all tlie adjoining woodlands.
The fly at tlie approach of a cold
snap takes shelter in the leaves of
woodlands, anti tlie dry weeds and
grass of stuhlde fields. The result
of the above observations and ex
periments are given to tin* public
with the hope that thy attention of
others more capable of doing the
subject justice, may In* attracted to
Ahis important subject.

Learning to Cuok.
A junicious mother will so man
age tier daughters that even at the 1
early age of 13 they can, in on
emergency, prepare ‘a meal of vict
uals.’ A thorough domestic train- j
ing is very useful to a girl. At >
school, she always has a teacher or
n fellow pupil at hand to help her
over hard places, but if she is set to
make a hatch of br aid herself, and
attends to it from the time tlie
sponge is set till the loaves are ta
ken, sweet, fragrant, golden brown,
frem the oven, she learns meantime
chemistry, calorie, perseverance,
delicate manipulation, self-reliance,
neatness* and acquires skill and the
habit of carry ing her work in her
mind as one act of neglect or forget
fulness at nnv point of the process
may spoil toe whole. Because
some unwise mothers do not see in
the stated and skillful performance
by their daughters of house-hold
services acerta n and valuable cul
ture, wliicli cannot Ire acquired at
school, they urn willing to do them*
selves what, in justice and kindness
to their daughters, they should re
quire of them. Girls, lefl to their
owu devices, waste a f rcat deal of
time, which might he utilized to
their advantage. A girl, who car.
climb trees, who can dance hours
without fatigue, or jump a rope (u
very dangerous pastime, by the
way,) who can take long walks,
who can skate anil row-can also
sweep, and scrub, and make bread,
and wash and iron, if she is encour
aged to do so. These are the ac
complishments she must possess in
order to make a happy home, tho. 1
she may have half a dozen servants
at her call. Those who have a
slliuieiit mo. n nit of curiosity to
investigate F-i.s si: j-ct will find

“I low was it?”

A Terrible Death.
i
At I ppervilb*. Vm, last Monday
niclit. Mr. I!. F. Conrad, a well
known merchant of that place,
having returned from Ids store, ho
and his wife. Mrs. Lizzie Conrad,
who was carrying a lamp, were as
! cending tlie stairway prepniingto
j retire. M.\ Conrad had just reached
the middle landing when he heard
■ a scream, and on looking around,
bo was horrified to see Ids wife
lying at the foot of the stairs in a
blaze, the lamp having exploded,
and the ignite'! oil flying till over
her, having wrapped her in flames
jin tin instant. Mr. Conrad and his !
niece, Miss Fannie Byrne, ran to
her assistance at once, hut he being
, a cripf le and Miss Byrne living
j palsied with flight, were scarcely
j able to do anything. Mrs. Conrad’s
Bcieams soon brought two young
men from a storo near by, who
broke open the door and attempted j
to catch her, hut she sprang by
them into the yard, and buried her
; self in tlie snow, her shrieks and
' cries heing most pitiable. The young
men soon extinguished the flames, j
but not until nearly every particle !
of clothing was burned off and she
was almost rousted alive. A blanket
was immediately wra; perl nrourd
her, and, strange as it inav appear, j
she walked up stairs to her room
without assistance, begging them
not to touch her. She suffered ex-;
treme pain until Thursday, when
she died.
A gentleman, on presenting a
lace collar to his adored one, said,
j carefully: “Do not let any one else
rumple it." “No, de.-r,” she re
plied, “I will take it off."

A sly Augusta girl, having a
lover she was afraid would not
stick, covered-her lips with ghie i
and invited him to kiss her. Owing
to the fact that she had previously
posted her father when to pounce
into the room, the plan worked
admirably.
‘I never saw such tenderness in
my life. WheneverDeßrown conies
home his wife meets him st the
door and kisses him.’ ‘Tenderness
in a horn!” replied a friend of the
family; ‘she does that tosee whether
he has broken over the New Year
resolution and gone to drinking
again.’

On High street, a hoy of ten,
richly dressed, sat on the steps eat
ing an orange, and a hoy with, a
load of picked up wood, stopped a
crnni the street looking at him. The j
cont-ast was very great, and a pe
destrian who saw the situation said
to the poor hoy: ‘‘That chap over
there is prety well fixed, isn’t he?”
I “Yes," "Lives in a big house and
t wears good clothes?” “Yes.” ‘Prob
j nb'v has lots of spending monov.’’
I “Yes.” There was a minute of ai- ;
lence, and then the boy with the
1 the cart started up his load, saying
“But I don’t earn a cent about it —
he Ims to eat with a fork and sav
; yes tmi’uin to everybody.”
If you speak the right word at
tlie right time; if you are careful
to leave people with a good im
pression; if you do not trespass j
, upon the rights of others; if you
I always think of others ns well as
j yourself; if you do not forget the !
I courtesies which belong to position; j
you are quite sure to accomplish !
much in life which others with
equal ability fail to do. This is
where the race is not to the swift,
imr the battle to tho strong. It is !
where you make people feel that
you are unselfish, and honorable,
and truthful and sincere. This is
vvliat society is looking for in men;
and it. is astonishing how much
men are able to win for self respect j
and success and usefulness who i
possess these qualities of good
breeding. It, is almost the turning !
point of success in practical life.

“Dis feller comes mit my saloon
and asks for peer.” began the wit
ness as Samuel Peters stood at tlie ,
bar of justice. ‘Vhen he has one i
glasses he tells me to set ’em oop
again. Vhen he has two glasses he j
vhas ns dry as a prush fence. He
drinks six glasses right off, und* he .
says I must sharge it to der sinking
fund. I doan know vbat such
tings mean und I lock der door und
makes all ready for a fight mit
him.”
“And you had one?”
“Vel, you see how my nose is all
boosted oop. und some pluck on j
tny eye, und such a pad feeling in
my ears. I vas novhere—yes, 11
vaa, I vas under der tables ”
“Who struck first?”
“Vel, I gifs him a shentle tap on
der nose to make him see dot he
he must pay oop.”
“You locked the door on him and
tapped him on tho nose?”
“Yaw.”
“Well, the prisoner is discharged
and you may go home.”
“Vha'l Doan’ you sent him oop
for six mouths?”
“No, sir.”
“Doan’ lie pay for dot peer?”
“I guess not.”
“Doan I git some protection of
der law?”
“Not when you lock the door on
a man and begin tickling his nose.”
“Vel, I never see! 1 might as
well close oop my peesnees and
take poison. Dot preaks me all j
down like a child und I tells der !
old vhomnns dot we move pack to
; Chicago right off.”
