. 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.

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-

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. As ho arose to go Mr, Lincoln
gavo him a hundred dollars, Baying;
"Now dont drink too much liquor;

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. Cor. Harper's

, A man was arrested in Cincinnati who,
Curing a busy llfo on tho street for eight
lyears, had stolon over a thousand um
brellas. No wonder It lias been so fear
fully hard for a fellow to borrow one
when ho needed it. This beggar had them
all. Burdetto In Brooklyn Eagle.
That CniitnnkcrouH Old AVoiuen
Described In the nursery ballad,
"lived upon nothing but victuals
who
and
drink," and yet "would noycr be quiet,"
was undoubtedly troubled with chronic In
digestion. 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. Chills and fever and billions re
mittent, rheumatism and kidney troubles
are also relieved by It.

During tho last century thero havo
