The effect of the application of various agenta was also noticed. Tobacco juice and smoke did ndt impair their vitality in the least. The same was also true of the chlorine tooth wash, of pulverised bark, of soda, aminoiiia j and various other popular detergents. The application of soap, however, appeared to destroy them inslantly.—VVe may hence infer that it is the best and most proper specific for cleansing the teath. In all cases where it has been tried, it receives unqualified commendation. It may also be proper to add, that none but the purest white soap, free from all discolorations, should be used.

The spider, says an eminent naturalist, is almost universally regarded with disgust and abhorrence ; yet, after all, it is one of the most interesting, if not the most useful, of th6 insect tribe. Since the days of Robert Bruce, it has been celebrated as a model of perseverance, while in industry and ingenuity it has no rival among insects. But the most extraordinary fact in the natural history of this insect, is the remarkable presentment it appears to have of an approaching change in the weather. Barometors, at best, only foretell the state of the weather with certainty for about twentyfour hours, and they are frequently very fallible guides, particularly when they point to settled Jair. Dut we may be sure that the weather will be fine twelve or fourteen days when the spider makes the principal threads of its web very long. This insect, which ia one of the most economical animal?, does not commence a work requiring such a great leugth of threads* which it draws out of its body, unless the state of the atmosphere indicates with certainty that this great expenditure will not be in vain. Let the weather be ever so bad, we may conclude with certainty that it will soon change to settled fair when we see the spider repair the damages which his web had received. It isobvioOs how important this" infallible indication of the state of the weather must be in many instances, particularly to the agriculturist.—Jackson (Miss.) Star.

The thirty lashes were inflicted, but he was still stubborn as a mule. He was then stripped naked and tied to a tree; The mosquitoes with their long bills went at him, and in less than three hours he Was covered With blood.— Writhing and tremblirlg from head to foot with exquisite torture, he exclaimed, "Untie me, untie me, and 1 will tell where it is." "Tell first," was the reply. So he told where it miC*ht be found. Some of th« party then, with wisps, kept off the still hungry mosquitoes, while others went where the culprit had directed, and recovered the bag of gold. He was then untied, washed with cold water, and helped to hia clothes, while he muttered, as if talking to himself, " I couldn't stand that anyhow." Co!tun's Three Years in California.
