What to do with Cuts or Wounds.?Farmers who live far from surgical aid and those who go oil on hunting and other excursions are often at a loss what to do when an accident occurs. In many families some kind of a liniment or application is kept which is regarded as an universal remedy, but it is often the worst thing j that can be applied. In all cases of : wounds recollect that nature makes an j unmeoiaie attempt 10 repair uaiuagca, and the best thing we can do is to give her a chance and aid her. In the majority of wounds, where no important artery or vein is cut, all i that we have to do is to bring the edges of the wound together and hold them there, and if the wound is not a ragged one, healing will commence at once. Should, however, the edges of the wound be much torn, then use cold water dressings, until surgi-1 r cal aid can be had; these may be lint, j k or any soft cloths, wet in the coldest j [ obtainable water and kept wet ove: 1 , the wound. Should an artery be j wounded, the fact will be known by the blood coming out in jerks or spurts, and one must make use of such anatomical knowledge as he mav have, ife.. Keep cooL If the wound is on a limb, \ applying a compress somewhere between the wound and the body will stop the bleeding. Tie a handkerchief; around the limb, and use a stick to j twist it in such a manner as to bring ! a pressure on the artery. A wounded j . vein is much less difficult to manage. A bit or lint oouna nrmiy over the wound will usually stop the bleeding. In all such cases an abundant use of the coldest water is advisable. Perfect quiet is essential; -make the wounded person keep absolutely at rest, and having dispatched a messenger for the nearest surgeon, apply cold water dressing, avoiding the use of all "Balsams," "Pain-Killers," "Reliefs," and the like, which are of a highly inflammatory nature, though wounds sometimes get well in spite of them. One Way of Intoxication. " There ar^ 100 hypodermic syringes sold now for each one that found a purchaser a few years ago," said a New York dealer in surgical instruments to a Sun reporter. "People have discovered that they are not only of great camrioa in r?H^vtntir>n f>f PVtrPTlIP pain, such as sciatica, for instance, but that they afford a convenient sort of respectable intoxication, or exhilaration, to speak more politely. The drunkard and the opium eater, or laudanum drinker, are much easier of : reformation than the person who gets ; accustomed to throwing a few drops of morphia under his skin. "I can tell those who are devotees of the habit when I meet them in the street. Only yesterday morning a young man rushed in here, excited, in ; great haste and trembling all over like i a leaf in the wind. I knew at a i crlanop what, hp wanted and had the f case open even before he could control his quivering jaws enough to say, 'I've broken the needle of my hypodermic syringe. I want it fixed and won't you please lend me one quickly for a few moments, and give me the use of your private room for a minute?' I ; handed one to him. He darted into i VaaI* *n o "Pon* mmnfoc I OilC U|?;& 1W1U, auu j-lx a jl^ u came out again, calm, smiling and steady. He had had his dose. Meanwhile I replaced his broken needle with a sound one, for which he paid, and, carefully pocketing it, he strode out without a sign of the^tens^nervpus^ . he entered. " If you have never seen a morphine, victim of this class in the nervous agonies consequent upon temporary deprivation of the drug, you can have no idea of how they suffer. Many young j men have told me that thev were in ' ?... _ tne naoit or taxing tnree, iour, or even : five hypodermic injections of morphine j every day, and even had to take them : at night to get sleep. Of course, when j the habit is at once formed, the dose ! must be continually increased, or else i made more frequent for the same re- j suits to be attained. Women buy a I great many of these instruments, i Generally they get into the habit of I using them through familiarization j with the treatment by physicians for mitigation of pain. One lady I know of who had a violent attack of sciatica ?which, as you may, or may not, know, hurts worse than a thousand toothaches at once?and her family physician gave her a hypoder- j mie injection of morphine * which -J* J-J " J- A 7.- T>.,4- 4. \auorueu liisuuit ieua. x>ui/ it i? uut a cure, merely an alleviation, and had to be repeated three or four times every day. It took the doctor about two i minutes, and he charged $2 each time, j After a week or so, as she got to be I such a good, steady, trustworthy source ! of revenue he reduced his rate to $1. | Even that, however, was more than the | husband's resources would stand, so he ' came to me for advice and bought a j syringe. I showed him how to use it. j Xow, although the woman has gotj well of the sciatica, she keeps up the ; morphine practice?finds it a necessity of her existence, and her legs, her husband tells me, are pitted aJl ove with the marks of the application. I don't suppose she ever will or can give j it up. Yes, the marks are ineradicable. j " To administer the injection, you j take up a bit of skin between your j finger and thumb, jab the needle in and j squirt away. It doesn't hurt at all, j not as much as poking a needle into ; skin not pinched in that way would, but care must be exercised to throw the solution to just the proper depth or else it is likely to produce hideous j ulcers, difficult to cure. "Well, each of those jabs leaves a little, hard, calloused- j like lump. I'd rather, if I had a wife, j that she should take to the cologne j 8I bottle than to the hypodermic syringe i for her exhilaration." A Singular Revenge.

News and Notes for Women. At a recent examination for clerk- j ships in the London postotfice 1,500 women presented themselves. The president of the university at Colorado Springs advertised for an expert cheesemaker to instruct the young lady stuaents. The women of Denver have orga- j nized themselves into an industrial as- j sociation, for the purpose of circum-; venting unscrupulous speculators. Judge Deadv invited the learned i woman attorney of San Francisco, Clara S. Foltz, to a seat beside himself, and introduced her to the other lawyers present, when she attended the United States circuit court in Oregon lately. * Miss Mary Berger, of Portland, Oregon, on returning from a picnic. found the timbers of the Elk Creek bridge on fire. Siie disrobed, dipped her clothes into the creek, wrapped them about the burning timbers, and thus kept the fire in check until help arrived. The English railway companies for some time have employed women as ticket and audit clerks, as also have the. Credit Eonc-ier and several banks and public companies in France. The corporation of the city of Paris mean also to employ women in their offices, and 300 situations are offered. Sister Mary E ranees Clare, of the "nrivort nt ITnnfL- foiintv "Mavo.

The care of fowls and bees, the making of butter and knitting will also be taught in the House of Industry. Mrs. Cart wright, of ^nowden Springs, Oregon, and a lady from Eugene, who happened to be passing that way, dis covered the raiiroaa Driage, inreequarters of a mile south of Drain, to be on fire.

" I may," he says, >4 pay a j rat-catcher to destroy all the rats in I my house with any poison he pleases, j but I may not myself, unless with a license from the home secretary, poison them with snake poison." Ilerr Fuchs is inclined to divide the I animals of the sea into fauna of light ! and fauna of darkness, the former being found little below a depth of thirty fathoms and the lirst specimens of the | latter type appearing at about fifty i fathoms below the surface. lie is led to make this distinction from the fact that in some places where the light limit is higher the deep sea fauna rises higher, and in fresli water lakes where the light penetrates to greater depths the shore fauna extends further down. M. Regnard has been utilizing dried blood from slaughter houses tor ttie rearing of lambs. He made experiments on six lambs deserted by the ewes.

Lost Colonies of Greenland. Greenland was first seen by the old Xorse navigator, Gunnbjorn, in 876, ! A. D., but the first European to land on ; its shores was Eric, the Red, a banished j jarl, or chief, of Iceland, son of the jarl of Jadar, in Norway. This daring explorer rounded Cape Farewell and skirted the west coast as far as the point ' where Juliansliaab now stands, on the | inlet of Ericsfiord, which he named, j This was in 983-4. In 985 he set sail | from Iceland with twenty-five ships and : a large company of emigrants, men, i women and children. Only fourteen i vessels of this lleet reached Ericsfiord, j where a colony was planted. Other set- I tlements were soon made for a consider- j able distance nortli of this, but none on the east coast of Greenland, as was be- j lieved until very recently. A considerable trade between these colonies and Norway, Iceland and America grew up, I and it is said that at one time there J were over 300 farms and numerous vil- 1 lages between Cape Farewell and i T?i'c/in iclo-nz-l At. -fircit. t.hp rvVlrmisfx ; X/AOVV 4.A.V VMV | worshiped according to the ancient j Scandinavian faith, as taught by the !

According to the British army estimates for the year ending March 18, 1882, the regular army of the United Kingdom, inclusive of the forces in India, embraced 13-3,210 men of all ranks. In this number were 7,221 commissioned officers and 17,772 noncommissioned officers and drummers, and trumpeters. The India forces numbered 62,548 men of all ranks. ?ne custriuuuun ui i<tuu jlui^cs were its follows: Thirty-eight per cent, in England and Wales; two per cent, in Scotland; sixteen per cent, in Ireland, and forty-five per cent, abroad.

A fourth :lass of reserves, known as the "pensioners and arm;.' reserve force," numbered 47,000. The total force provided for in the estimate, exclusive of the , India contingent, was 579,481.

Ellwood Cooper, of Santa Barbara, | the leading olive-grower of California, says that he has trees eight years old that have produced two thousand gallons of olives to the acre. This would be equivalent to 250 gallons of oil to the acre, and the oil finds a ready market at $5 a gallon. The yield of one acre would thus be ?1,250, which for a hundred-acre ranch would be a pretty fair income. But these figures are not represented to apply to any Avnnwf +Ua trrvr?Tr /-?Vi/\i + rQr?/"1 1 T"? uncommonly good year. But oven computing the profits of olive culture at as 3o\.t a figure as one-tenth, a twenty-acre ranch would support a family very comfortably after six or seven years o:: waiting. One of the great advantages of olive culture is the fact that irrigation is not needed. In a climate where there is often such a scarcity of rain as in California, this is a matter of much importance. The olive tree also grows very old. There are trees in Asia Minor that are known to be over 1,200 years old and are still in full bearing:. In considering the profits of fruit cuture, however, the dangers of insect pests, disease and overproduction must be kept in mind; and these are usually passed by without mention in the glowing description of Southern California. A remarkable man died not long ago. This was Thomas Guardia, for nearly twelve years president of the republic of Cosfa Rica. lie had been slowly dying of an incurable disease for some time. This man came from the common people. He was the spirit of the revolution of April, 1870, rrrfisnPfl t.hp. rf>ins of government with O"-? ? -- n - a rude hand, and ruled with a red of iron. He was an ignorant, unread man, with crude ideas of society and limited knowledge of politics. He was without any appreciation of linances, and through his love of display plunged the country into a debt that will weigh it down for years to come. Ife " to have his name live after him, andso began the construction of an interoceanic railroad. He commenced by laying the track in the center of the country, thereby multiplying the cost, the transportation of two locomotives for the work alone being an expense of $30,000. For five years Guardia clung to tins project, squauuer-. j ing millions, and to-day there are but a few miles of comparatively valueless ! road to show for it all. Guardia came i into power in a cart covered with hay, j concealing himself and a few kindred i spirits, who overpowered the guard in j the Curatel of San Jose and captured | the government with the loss of but ! one man. Don Prospero Fernandez j has been elected president and will j take his seat in October, the head of affairs meantime being Don Joaquin Lizano. One of the Harper articles is oh the curious and half-forgotten theory of John Cleves Symraes that the earth is nollow, open at the poles, and proba oly, at least capable of being, innab- j :ted. Perhaps the polar interest of \ the present time invests this topic j with new interest, but it has certainly j already had magazine treatment that j is comparatively recent (in the Atlan- j tie i:i 1873), and in 187G it was brought | into somewhat fresh publicity by re- J ports that a son of Symmes had revived it. One of Symmes' sons? j whether the particular one who was to revive the theory we do not Know? has furnished the writer of the Harper article with some of his information, | but we do not hear that the son proposes again to have the theory enforced upon the attention of a hitherto incredulous world. "Symmes' hole" was certainly a romantic sort of theory. "Symmes believed," says the writer of the Harper article, "that there were beneath our feet miles and miles of wondrous unclaimed domain; reindeer roamed its colder borders, fish swam in its seas, animals and trees ana flowers of curious and unknown shape made its life a primal gladness; splendid visions of untold wonders, misty dreams of splendors unnamable floated through his nightly and daily thoughts, and, greater than alj, burned within him the ceaseless desire to become the discoverer of this unknown land." The writer has no doubt that Symmes was sincere and entirely above any charlatan idea of notoriety. Anaesthetic Bullets. A German chemist has invented a new kind of bullet which, he urges, will, if brought into general use, greatly diminish, if not altogether remove, the horrors of war. The bullet is of a brittle substance, breaking directly it comes in contact with the object at which it is aimed. It contains a powerful anresthetic, producing instantaneously complete insensibility, lasting for twelve hours, which, except that the action of the heart continues, is not to be distinguished from death, A l altiefiold whore these bullets are used will in a short time be apparently covered with dead bodies, but in reality merely with the prostrate forms of soldiers reduced for the time being to a state of unconsciousness.

In breeding ducks, to secure the argest number of young from the old birds, each season the setting of the first clutch of eggs shoidd be under ordinary hens. All the duck eggs sot. which are dropped before the ducks j show signs of brooding, should be set j under common hens. By penning a young and vigorous drake with the ; ducks when these become broody, they ; soon forget it, and ere long return to j laying, after which they can be per- J mitted to hatch out a brood themselves. I By permitting them to set at first j they frequently do not return to lay- i ing until very "late, which is so much | lost time in securing large birds for j fall and winter sales. The hens se- j lected for hatching the early broods ; should be quiet, medium-sized ones, | and those which are two years old are : more to be depended upon than young j pullets, which latter are apt to be rest- j less, frequently deserting the eggs. Sticky Trees. Nurserymen know what purchasers j will not believe, that short stocky! trees are better for an orchard, more j likely to live, come quicker into bear- j ing than tall slender "rees, whether j apple, peach, pear, plum or cherry. J The reason is simolv this, tall trees in : the nursery rows for some reason get j the start, overtop and over shadow j those that started later, the sap of the tree consequently pushes its growth upward and into foliage while the roots are long, slender and few, consequently it does not bear transplanting as well or do as well after being transplanted as was expected from its line appesirance in the row. Stocky trees, on the contrary, being overshadowed, make a shorter growth, with branches and foliage nearer the ground, with numerous short and brandling roots; and it is these numerous short roots that do not waste their substance in bleeding or by absorption from tiie 4.1.^4. 4-i^v 4-^ v-fp o bUli uicii tin; ucc tu stai o wit. in a rapid growth and outstrip its slender rival, and also come quicker into profitable bearing.?Practical Farmer. Kulcs in Praninc. In a prize essay on the philosophy of pruning J. F. Wilhite, Boone county, Mo., gives the following rules in pruning: Fi::st?Always leave an inch of wood, beyond their terminal bud, and let the cut be on the opposite side from tho hurl Second?Always cut upward and in j a sloping direction. Th ird?Prune so as to make but few | wounds, and cut the surface as smooth J as possible. Fourth?In cutting out an old branch ; pruno even to the stem, that the j wounds may heal over quickly. Filth?Prune so as" to obtain the quantity of fruit desired from the smallest number of shc-ots. Sixth?Xever prune when the vines I are f rozen. Seventh?Xever prune during the months of March, April or May, as | pruning then will cause bleeding and j an unnecessary flow of sap. Eighth?Let the general autumnal! pruning take place about the 1st of j October, as soon as the gathering of I the fruit will permit. Talk of Tomatoes. The training of tomato stems erect and single, each to a well-set eight-foot rod, combines neatness and economy. It secures more fruit, of larger size, i liner form and richer flavor, while! greatly enhancing the gardenesque. tidiness and showiness of the plot de- ' voted to these plants, without adding anything to the labor of their culture beyond the procuring of the stakes. But thc-re is one drawback. The fruit ripens more slowly, because there is no check to the onward growth of the stem, such as occurs when the unsupported stem is bended or twisted by storms or by the weight of fruit. In the north, where the season closes early, this tendency to set more fruit ; ?1 willi ciiu npeu cau uc cusnv uicuacu ; by pinching off late blossoms, and the j ripening of the set fruit can be Jiastened by either loosening part of tTfe'roots or by piercing the stem below the fruit or constricting it with a! ligature. The greater sweetness and finer flavor of both tomatoes and grapes : when the fruit is screened from the! full glare of the sun either by the thin j paper of a bag or the natural defense j of a leaf, should be generally known j so well as to prevent the barbarous ex- j posure of the fruit to the hot sunshine ! as is practiced by so many in the false belief that it will improve the fruit by hastening its maturity. In this re- j gion many of the first-set tomatoes ; were affected with dry-rot, leaving a deej) black sear nearly always upon the apex, which is the tenderest, thinnest j part, and the first to show ripeness. | But we had frequent rains after Au- j gust 20, and the tomato plants made i free growth, healthy foliage and abund- i ant fair fruit from that onward.? i Shelah, in New York Tribune. Picking Apples. The proper picking and packing of apples is of great importance. The j best keeping sorts will not be preserved well unless the fruit is uninjured in gathering and packed securely. The, most approved method of picking is by hand, with ladders, the fruit being put into a grain sack. The bottom and I top of the sack are brought together and tied arid then hung upon the shoulder. A short stick may be used ; to keep the mouth of tiie sac c open. The sack is quickly and easily emptied by lowering the mouth end and lifting upon the bottom. The sack can be j lowered into the barrel and the apples j ; will run out without being braised as i when they are poured in from a brisket j ! from th* top. Many apple growers | prefer to put the fruit in heaps | for a few days that the skin i may toughen before barreling. In I 4-1. ^ r v*. ^,1 -1 ri c-11 /-*i 11 /I 1?n f ' dllUlU bilCcUllllU ?SA^IV111? OI1V/IUU k/w WW iivv ; bruise the fruit, and in this way enhance its keeping quality. The fruit ; should not move about in the barrels during shipment, and to this end the apples must be shaken down when the ' 1 barrel is half full and again when full, j | after which the head is put on and | : pressed into place with considerable , force. It is much better to have the j : upper apples somewhat flattened than I : to leave the fruit so it will stir in the j ! package. The opposite head should | be marked as the one to be opened. i The mistake is sometimes mane or not; sorting the fruit. Make at least two I qualities or grades, and mark each j package with its grade. TMs will j secure uniformity in the fruit in each; I barrel and a better price. There is; much to be gained in the way of a: reputation for careful picking, iionest ; assorting and the proper packing of all kinds of fruit.?American Ajrirul\ turist. . Preserving: Fcncc Post*. A correspondent of the Country j ; Gentleman says: I have tried a num-i Vioi* nf nf iiro^rvinir tiiKtc j and none have been s isfaetory ex-. cept perhaps one to be mentioned presently. Heart oak, if seasoned, will ' last a great many- years without any application whatever?how many I am ! not old enough to say. Sap wood will not last.

About my yard and premises I have set since . the war a good many posts of pine, V ' " V that being the only sawed timber I! could get. These have to be replaced j in four or five years after setting; some ! have completely rotted oil in three y.-ars though heavily dosed with hot : coal tur. Xow for the exception re- ' ferred to above. Ten vearsuijo I built I a grapery at the end of trie iiousfc as i a screen against the western : sky, using sawed pine posts. Anticipatingthedifilcultyofeverreplacing these posts after they had become covered with vines 1 .took the extra precaution of completely .saturating the lower ends with kerosene?common coal oil?before applying the tar. These posts are now perfectly firm and almost as sound as whe i they were put in. All other pine posts set at that date have entirely rotted and j perished. The result or this experiment so thoroughly impressed me with the value of coal oil as a preservative of timber under ground that I now use it on all posts in building, afterward covering with hot coal tar. Tliis is essentially the plan proposed by Mr. Parker Earle. I add this, however, which I think will doutless prove of great value: I bore a half inch or three-quarter inch hole in the post near the ground, slanting downward and reaching beyond the center. This is to be tilled with kerosene from time to time; perhaps once in three or four years will answer. I feel sure that insects very greatly hasten the decay 01 timoer. to say me lease; uuu lverosene being repellent to them, makes it a valuable application at any point where they are likely to do mischief. Perm and Bcan? Better than Corn. Growing stock should not be kept in a fat condition, for the demand of the system is chiefly for muscle-producing matter. Tiiere is no concentrated material on the farm that supplies the desideratum in full, and though nature has furnished farmers with splendid agents for this purpose in the shape of peas and beans the opportunity is not improved. Fur early pasture or soiling after rye a piece of land broad-casted to tall-growing green peas, mixed with oats, is invaluable. The writer of this once kept a cow up to a flow of milk until late in the season by a succession of such crops, and that, too, on a piece of white sand land. It is not known by some that if these vines are cut and nicely cured when just about to bloom they will furnish a good crop of nutritious hay, but if not cut at (lowering time the leaves will crumble away. Ground peas or beans are economical for feeding, owing to the great saving they pfPpff. Fiirmprs nrft temntwl to nart with tlieni at $2.10 a bushel when they often bring more than that sum ; but if we stop and reflect that this meal, mixed half and half with corn meal, will enable us to dispense with one-third tiie quantity of hay, a great saving is made through the winter. For young calves nothing can equal it. If the farmer has no conveniences for grinding them the peas and beans can be cooked into a mash in the ordinary way, and if thus given liberally to the stock, especially the younger portion, will pusli them rapidly forward. Pigs will grow faster on it than anything else. Young heifers become matured several months sooner. By the use of pea or bean meal wheat straw can be used in place* of hay, and, taken as a whole, it has become almost a necessity on well-regulated farms. ?Sear in mind, as stated above, peas and beans will not fatten stock as rapidly as corn, nor will corn make the stock grow as quickly as the legumes. Hence, in winter we should feed these articles together in order to get the best results. ?PJiiladelphia Record. llccipex. AprLE axd jjkead Pudding.?

"Why a Kerosene Lamp Bai-sts. Girls as well as boys need to under-! stand about kerosene explosions. A ! great many fatal accidents happen j from trying to pour a little kerosene on the lire to make it kindle better, j also by pouring oil into a lamp while it j is lighted. Most persons suppose mat it is the kerosense itself which ex- j plodes, and that if they are very care- j fill to keep the oil itself from being ' touched by the tire or light there wifi ; be no danger, but this is not so. If : a can or lamp is left about half full of : kerosene oil the oil will dry up?that j is, "evaporate"?a little and will form, j by mingling with the air in the upper [ part, a very explosive gas. You can- i not see this gas any more than you can { see air. But if it is disturbed and , driven out, and a blaze reaches it, there . will be a terrible explosion, although | the blaze did not touch the oil. There I are several other liquids used in houses I and workshops which will produce an j explosive vapor in this way. Benzine I is one; burning fluid is another; and : naphtha,'alcohol, ether, chloroform may j do the same thing. In a Xew York workshop lately j there was a can of benzine, or gasoline, | standing on the floor. A boy sixteen j years old lighted a cigarette and threw i the bnrning match on the floor close to ' the can. He did not dream there was | any danger, because the liquid was: corked up in the can. But .there was ! a great explosion, and he was badly j hurt. This seems very mysterious.! The probability is that the can had J been standing there a good while and a good deal of vapor had formed, some of which had leaked out around the stopper and was hanging in a sort of! invisible cloud over and around the j can; and this cloud, when the match t struck it, exploded. Suppose a girl tries to fill a kerosene lamp without first blowing it out. Of course the lamp is nearly empty or she would not care to fill it. This empty space is filled with a cloud of explosive vapor arising from the oil in the lamp. ! When she pushes the nozzle of the can j into the lamp at the top, and begins to I pour, the oil running into tlxe lamp fills the empty space and pushes the cloud of explosive vapor up ; the vapor is obliged to pour out over the edges of the lamp, at the top, iuto the room outside ; of course it strikes against the blazing wick which the girl is holding downbv one side. The blaze of the wick sets the invisible cloud of vapor j afire, and there is an explosion which ignites the oil and scatters it over her clothes and over the furniture of the room. This is the way in which a kerosene lamp bursts. The same thing j may happen when a girl pours the oil over a lire in the range or stove if there is a cloud of explosive vapor in the upper part of the can, or if the stove is hot enough to evaporize quickly some of the oil as it falls. Remember, it is not the oil, but the invisible vapor that explodes. Taking care ot tne oil will not protect you. There is no safety except in the ruie: Never pour oil on a lighted fire or into a lighted lamp.? Christian Union. Lifetime of Various Animals. Camels live from forty to fifty years; horses average from twenty-five to thirty; oxen about twenty; sheep eight or nine and dogs twelve to fourteen. Concerning the ages attained by nondomesticated animals only a few isolated for-i-Q arf known. The East In dians believe that the life period of the elephant is about 300 years, instances being recorded of these animals having lived 130 years in confinement after capture at an unknown age. "Whales are estimated to reach the age of 400 years. Some reptiles are very longlived, an instanee being furnished by a tortoise which,was confined in 1633 and existed until 1753, when lie perished by accident. Birds sometimes reach a great age, the eagle and the swan having been known to live 100 years. The longevity of fishes is often remarkable. The carp has been known to live 200 years ; common river trout fifty years and the pike ninety years, while Gesner, a Swiss naturalist, relates that a pike caught in 1497 bore a ring ? - A coyy\a recording cue uic ?uiv 267 years before. Insects are very short lived, usually completing the term of their existence in a few weeks or months. Some even perish within a few hours after emerging from a grub state, and die upon the very day of entering on their new life. As a general rule, not to be applied too closely, larger types of animals live longer than smaller.
