Expectorittloti Asido from' Its being nn exceedingly flltliNvIiabit. tho custom of frco and care less expectoration "involves dangers to health which nro not generally under stood, but which nro nevertheless ill no senso fanciful. It Is well established that tho poison of certain diseases appears In tho expecto ration. Tlio germs of consumption aro known to be minute, rod like, Cetablo bodies, visible only by tho aid of" tho most powerful tuicrobcopo. In tho mat ter expectorated by thoso afflicted with thu diseaso thoso gernm nro met with in largo numbers. By experiment it has been determined that thoy aro very tena cious of lifo, and can bo destroyed only by.certain fluids or by exposure to a high tomperaturo for a considerable lengtii of timo. It 13 easy to seo, therefore, that If the expectoration from tho lungs i? allowed to lio exposed till it becomes dry, the germs will bo taken up and scattered abroad by tho air currents, and in this way a fruitful sourco of contagion will bo provided. Fortunately most peoplo in good health remain unaffected by tho gorin3 which havo found entranco into the body. It is only when tho powers of i-esistance aro weakened by some defect oi tlio con stltution, or when somo unusually favor able opportunity for Infection has been given, tliat the poison gains a mastery and produces disease, When wo consider that in a hall of modcrato size, which has been occupied by an audienco for an hour or moro thero aro millions of germs of various kinds, bouio of which, under favorable conditions, aro capablo of producing dis easo, then tho wisdom of such ft provi sion of naturo becomes apparent. No doubt every ono has felt a certain discrust at tho hawking and spitting which Is met with to a greater or less extent in all publio places, nnd it is well for every ono to know that thero aro ex cellent sanitary reasons for tho obscrv anco of a rulo which good breeding and a care for tlio feelings.of others ought to bo sullicient to enforce It is in tho discovery of tho real cause of disease that we shall most surely find tho valuable ounco of prevention. If wo must oxpectora'to, let U3 at least re frain from doing ho in publio places. Vouth-s Companion. Rapid Tanning. Tliis talk about tanning leather In fow hours by electricity is ail rubbish, You might as well try to fatten pigs by electricity. But leather can bo tanned in n very short timo, although a perfect artlclo cannot bo produced in less than hvoor six months. Borne timo ago Buffalo man asked mo how long it would take mo to tan a goat skin and mako a pair of boots. I told him it could bo dono in twelve hours. He bet mo $100 It couldn't bo done. That night I went to a butcher and bought a goat. At tho next morning tlio goat was skinned twenty minutes later I had tho hair off tho hide, colored and in tho liquid. By noon it was dried, dressed, and dried again nnd glaibd and ready for the boot maker, who unished tho boots by o'clock in tho evening. It cost tho Buf falo man nearly $200 after tho wino and extras were paid for. It was leather, but it -wouldn't do to risk a reputation on its wearing qualities. Shoo Man in Globe- Democrat. A Murine Hero. Among tho inmates of the National Soldiers' homo at Togus, Mo., Is Richard Rowley, who was captain of tho guns on tho Kearsargo when she sunk tlio Ala bama oil tho harbor of Cherbourtr, France, and performed nn act of bravery which probably saved his ship and her crow, 'ine battle had raged for over an hour nnd a. half, when a 100 pound rifle shell from tho Alabama struck tlio xua which Rowley was sighting and fell on tho deck, with tho fuse still burning. In an Install t Rowley picked it up and throw it Into tho sea, where it oxploded just as it touched tho water. The sailor's beard and niustache wero burned off by the fuse, but ho Bteppod back to his gun and scut a shot into the sinking Alabama. Capt. "Winslow at onco gavo the order to man the rigging and give three cheers for Quartermaster Rowley, Tho latter was greatly lionized after his return to this country. Congress voted him a gold medal; he received other valuable gifts, and President Lincoln personally thanked ulm. Forovoral days before his inter view with the president, Rowley had ac cepted frequent invitations to drink champagne, and probably showed the effects.

Don't rino Awn-, but Oct Illclit Down to IluslncM. Tlio seventeen year locusts pass bovoii- tccn years underground, and then, as if by preconcerted arrangomcnt, mako their appenrnneo out of littlo holes al most siniultancously, nnd In numbers that run far up into tho millions. Tins Is always dono after sunset, nnd by 0 o'clock the samo night tho hordes havo appeared. They nro not very actlvo when thoy first appear out of thoir sub terranean homes, but thoy mako what speed thoy can toward tho nearest trees, and climb tliom to the lower leaves, whero thoy fairly swarm, sometimes as many as thirteen pupro clinging to ono oak leaf. Thoso which aro belated either cling to tho bark of tho treo or If too late to get that far fasten their claws to tho first convenient object, and wott for tho grand transformation which is to convert them from ugly crawling things of sllcnco and gloom into gorgeous things of tho air and tho sunlight, the males endowed with musical powers, and both sexes olad In gny suits of oraligo and black, with gossamer wings of Iridescent hues. But ft fow minutes elapso after tho pupa) havo secured a resting placo bof oro tho dull skins begin to crack along tho back. C0J11NO WITIt DRUMS. Then tho imprisoned cicada works his way to freedom, at tho first a soft, white thing, but quickly developing wings and becoming hard and active. For tlio most part it does not roquiro moro than twen ty minutes for tho soft prisoner to be como a perfect cicada, though sometimes an'hour or moro is consumed In the pro cess, and several hours aro required to produce tho final color. Tho males are tho first by several days to appear, and thoy herald tho first dawn of their now oxlsfenco by trying their drums; for their imtslq.il apparatus is in effect drum like. At first their muBlo is rather feeble, but In a littlo while It secures the propor tono and force, and then it scarcely knows any rest. Nor do they drum at haphazard, but rather in unison, and so it is that tho noiso of tho swarms can bo heard fully njnilo away, and is positive ly deafening when closo nt hand. Hie male cicada eats very littlo while waiting for the female to appeal", and that littlo is in the form of sap from the trees, tho bark of which is slightly punctured for tile julco to exude. Tho coming of tho females is hailed by the waiting lords witli an increased noiso and for a fow days the air is thick with the Hying insects, so much so that tho sun is obscured f or smal 1 areas. In a fow days after this the males dlo gradually, and tho females busy themselves with the task of egg laying. Each female will lay In tho neighborhood of GOO eggs, and the manner in which sho lays them is roally remarkable She selects young twigs only, and, with a singular appa ratus, called an ovipositor, bores holes in regular order along the under side of tho twigs, into which tho eggs are regularly and carefully placed. Each nest con tains about twenty eggs. Tho ovipositor is a most ingenious contrivanco, and is composed of three parts, ono part being an awl with which to pierce, and two parts being opposing saws with which to cut. And after tho nest has been cut out of the twig tho ovipositor acts ns a tube, down which the egg is propelled into its placo in tho nest. TWENTY FEET UNDER GROUND. After tho cicada has laid author eggs sho loses her strength and dies. Sho has lived a dreary underground oxistenco of seventeen years, to enjoy a brief llfo of a fow weeks In tho air and sunshine. And now the new brood is Btarted on a seventeen years of life. Tlio eggs hatch In about six weeks, and the baby cicada is about one-sixteenth of an inch long and very active, though so light that it falls to the ground from a height sometimes of 100 feet without tho least Injury. It has a pair of strong claws with which to dig a holo in tho ground, and it uts them into uso Immediately. Down It goes Into tho earth, nnd for seventeen years burrows and burrows, sometimes going ns deep as twenty feet, nnd somo times not one-quarter of that, but chang ing its skin twenty-flvo or thirty times during its underground travels. It lives on tho juices extracted from roots, and sometimes, but not often, Injures trees. When tho time for its reappearance on earth conie3 near again it gradually works Its way toward tho surface, it finally digs a tunnel upward to tho stir- faco, going up occasionally to peer about and discover by signs known to itself when the 20th of May has como. If tho soil Is marshy where it has elected to appear, or if heavy rains aro prevailing at tlio time, it has been Known to buna a turret six inches abovo ground, with a roofed cap, so curved that it can go up into it and be In safety from drowning in case of flood. It is at tho time when it emerges from tho earth, after its long sojourn there, that It Is in most danger from enemies; for then tho hog and other nuimals find it a toothsome mor bcI, and devour it in great numbers. At a later period, when It lias gained tho power of flight, it becomes tho prey of somo birds, though It was reserved for tho littlo English sparrow to make tho most determined and destructive war upon it. So ravenously have tho spar rows been known to devour tho insects, that in the height of the cicada season a fow years ago the air would frequently be full of the floating gossamer wings of the devoured insoct.

Her vlclvals like thoso of many other elderly persons whose digestive pow ers have become hupahed, didn't asree with her. This was befoio the era of Hos teller's Stomach Bitters, omomeoncof her numerous friends and relatives would un doubtedly have persuaded her to try the great snecillc for dyspepsia, constipation and billiousness. This would have been a measuro of tself- protection on their part, for she soon would havo been cured and ceased to disturb Ih'em with her clamor. The most obstlnato cases of indigestion, with lis at tendant heartburn, ilatulenco, constant un easiness of tho stomach and of the nerves, are completely overcoino by this sovereign remedy.
