Ingenious But Ineffectual.
In Illinois some gentlemen had'a most
elaborate plan for obtaining drinks.
They formed iMT association for tbc-
ayowed purpose of promoting teniper-
ance, frieuttpliip. and such like virtues.
One of the associates was already the
happy possessor of a dramshop; the as-
socintiqp bonghtdam out, hock, stock,
and bacrel; then—for he was a jolty good
fellow—they elected him to the honor
able and onerous positron of treasurer,
and left him iu charge of the old shop.
So anxious were the promoters to extend
the benign benefits of tennieraiK'e and
friendship that the "-doors of their society
at-rn tbrowiTopen to any and to all who
were wiHing-to pay the—ftommal fee of
one dollar, intojeenot payment of the
fee the member received a ticket ujhjh
which were-the numbers from one to
twenty inclusive. When movedrby one

appariitns suiqilios us with a knowledge
of sounds. What are these soumby !
They are vibrations of matter which are
capable of producing corresponding or
sympathetic vibrations of the drums of
our ears or the bones of onr skull.'' When
we carefully examine the subject, and
count the uuml>er of vibrations that
produce our world of •sounds of varying
pitch, we find that the human ear can
only respond to a limited range of such
vibrations. It ^they exceed fl.OQQ per
second the sound becomes too shrill for
average people to hear it, though Rrmrc
exceptional ears can fake up pulsations
or waves that Succeed each other more
rapidly than this.
Reasoning from, the analogy of
stretched strings and membranes .and of
air vibrating in tubes, etc., we are justi
fled iu concluding that the smaller the
drum or tube the higher w ill be the note
it produces when agitated, and the
smaller and the more rapid the terial
wave to which it will respond., Tbo
drums of insect ears,and the tubes, etc.,
connected with them, are so minute that
their world of sounds probably begins
where ours ceases; and what appears
to us as a continuous sound is to them a
series of separated blows just as vibra
tions of 10 or 12 jier second appear sep
arated to us. We begin to hear such
vibrations as continuous sounds when
they aniuymt to 30 per second. The in-
sect's continuous sound probably bn gins
beyond 3,000, The bluebottle may thus

leading features of the studies nf Prof.

gins, the professor saya, with the oTiser-
v itionof the movements and sensations
of a child, and then proceeds to note the
development of the different senses, the
formation of speech, etc., and the effect
of all these things in awakening the in
telligence. The first manifestation of
voluntary motion occurs about the four
teenth .week, when the infant begins to
hold up its head. After f< ur mouths the
head is usually balanced well, and at ten
months the power to sit up is acquired

sense may lie defected by the blinking
which a lond noise occasions. No other
orgasffc thought to eontribute to the in-
tellectual development of the child so
much as the ear. The first perceptions
are those of light. Tho infant shuts its

door in the roof, which communicates
with a trigger set npon the ground.
Food is spread about inside, the, mon
keys enter, and, skirmi-htng around,
disturb the trigger, and the trap shuts
them in. Tho uxird method for catch
ing them is s most ludicrous one. An
old, hard eocoanut is taken, and a very
small hole made in the shell. Furnished
with this and a jiockotfu! of Baled rice,
tlie tqiortaman sallies into the forest,
and stops beneath a tree tenanted by
monkoya. Within fnll sight of these in-
quiaitive spectators he first eats a little
nee nnd then puta a quantity into the
eocoanut with all tlie ostentation possi

grouud, and the hunter retires to a con

peeps into it, and, seeing the plentiful
store of rice inside, squeezes his hand
in through the tiny hole, and clutcliea a

monkey nature, that nothing will induce
tho creature to relinquish his hold.
With his band thus elmqied he cannot

that he falls an easy capture to the hunt
er, a victim to his own greed. Even
when caught he rends in the actions of
his captor a design to roh him of his
rice, and he clutches it all the harder;
and the very first thing he does when
the nut is cracked and the hand released
is to cram its contents into his mouth.

‘ ‘ I don’t think men are often injured
by the inodi riite tts<- of tobacco in smok

adapted to the use of tobacco than tho

causes neuralgia, headadu*, dysjiepsia,

all, mins tho complexion and (hsorflers
tho teeth. I say nothing about the
health, but I think, nevertheless, that
all will agree that the stale odor of to
Ixicco coming from a woman’s mouth is
worse than the same smell exhaled by a
man. As to chewing in men and its
analogue, 'dipping;*' in women, nothing
con Ih* filthier, and I k.'tow that both are
productive of diseases of the nervous sys

“But, Doctor, does not smoking cause
diseases of the nervous system in men
as well as in women?' f
“ Certainly it does, if indulged in to
excess. But then men’s nervous systems
are not as impressionable us womens',
and hence a man can do many things
with impunity or even lienefit, imp< s.*i-
hle for a woman to do without great
risk. And besides, it does not make
much difference to a man if his com
plexion is a little sallow, 1m eye luatre-
less. his liody^shriveled up and his skin
rough, whtveas these things are very
important to a woman.”
“ I see you are an admirer of beauty
in women, Doctor?”
“ Yes. It is the greatest gift a woman
can have, for it not only means esthetic
enjoyment for all who looks at her, but
it means a healthy mind and a.healthy
body; and then tbe means necessary to
preserve beauty are the very ones neces

to that opinion. n The ItrAailer also
gives the following information : “ The
cocktail is mode of brandy, gin, whisky,
or ch&mpeogn, mixed with bitten,
sugar, and a small—very small—per
centage of water. It ia an early-morn

medicinal properties. A large propor

never eat solid food until the flooring of

‘ A French Farmer.
The lol of a French farmer is neither
happy nor jolly. He fares frugally on
soup and the' thinnest of ordinary red
wide or cider. The stock of his soup is
bacon, and he eats butcher’s meat only
twice a week—that ia on Sunday and
market-day. When he attends market
he makes a succulent dejeuner and
drinks a good deal of beer at the ca/e.
This is his only cheerful time; at ordin
ary seasons he is morose, troubled about
the weather, the conscription which ia
going to take his son iu the army, and
about politics, of which he understands
just enough to be in constant dread of
revolutions. He is conservative; that ia
to say he upholds the government of the
day, whatever it is, for fear of anarchy;
but no government is popular with him,
for every adminis trillion finds it neces
sary to Uy on new taxes.* The climate,
however, is in his favor. A bad harvsat
