In the course of some experiments on the effect of changes of temperature in the pupal stage of butterflies by Mr. Merrifield, some Vanersaio showed tho gradual disintegration by exposure to a low temperature of the eyelike spot on tho fore-wing, which, in the ex treme specimens, ceased to be an ocellus. Experiments have been tried with to ascertain if color has an effect on cer tain forms of disease. In making this test a number of smallpox patients were placed in a room to which only red light was admitted. The patients were for the most part thoso suffering from unusually severe attacks, and about half of them being unvaccinated children. In spite of the violent form of the malady, they all made speedy and safe recoveries, with very little fever and but few scars. Benedict has relieved a case of writer's cramp by injecting earbolio acid in the neighborhood of u sensitive point in the course of one of the flexor tendons of the related forearm.

Those who have made a study ol bird habits say that birds of almost all sorts arc rather the friends than the enemies of farmers and gardeners. Not only do the song birds by destroy ing insects earn their right to eat a few berries, but even the crow that generations of farmers have scared and killed, is said to prefer insects to corn, and often to be in the very act of de stroying pests when farmers suppose him to be maliciously bent on undo ing the work of the sower. A Duck Drowned by an Oyster. Captain Edward A. Caulk of the steamer Tangier yesterday saw a dead "fisherman" duck floating on the water near Claiborne, Md. The duck wan picked up aud the cause of its deatii then became apparent. The fisherman duck feeds on fish and oysters. The duck whicli was found dead had evi dently stuck its long and narrow bill into the open shells of a feeding oys ter. The oyster shut its shells together on the bill. It is supposed that tho duck tried to shake oft the oyster hut failed, and that tho weight of the oys ter hanging to the bill finally pulled the duck's head under water aud drowned tho fowl. The oyster was uot heavy enough to pull the duck's body beneath the water.—Baltimore Sun. A Worthy and Wise Sentiment. m Before Cardinal Manning, of Eng land, died, he delivered two messages to the care of a phonograph. One was for the people and the other for posterity. The latter was as follows: To all who com3 after me: I hope that no words of mine, written or spoken in my life, will bo found to have done harm to any one after I am dead. Henry Edward Manning, Car dinal Archbishop." Not an original sentiment, but a worthy and wise oue, aud one to which men of lesser note than a cardinal might well aspire, New York Observer. SONG.

Waring, jf.. says: The method of disposal by irriga tion or nitration is an extremely Hexlble one. It is susceptible of modifications that will make it suit able for a great variety of circum stances, and lor a wide range of soil and of surface conformation. it is ejualiy available for a single house, for a village, or for a town, and its processes are so nearly auto matic that its use on a small scale entails no material cost or care in maintenance. With a small area for surface distribution near the house, it is only necessary to provide a sim ple Intermittent Hush tank, with an outlet that can bo changed to either of the two or three alternate sections into which the area is divided, each large enough to absorb a few hundred gallons of water. Littlo attention will he needed beyond the periodic directing the flow to one section or to the other. It is desirable that this ground should be withdrawn from full sight, but only for esthetic reasons; there will be no odor. In like manner the sewage from a large hotel, or from a dozen houses, or from a village or a town, may be controlled with only such increase.of cost and attention as the larger ser vice entails. The Important recent improvements in methods of applica tion have been in the direction of simplicity, and the following facts arc now fully established: 1. House drainage is practically odorless when flrst produced. It does not become oflenslve unless re tained until it putrelies—only after a day or more. If applied when fresh to the surface of suitable ground, its water is removed in a condition fit even for safe drinking, and Its impurities are completely destroyed, both in winter and summer, without oilense or dan ger of any kind. In short, the bugbear of sewago disposal has been done away with, and wo are now in a position to adopt simple and unob ectionablo methods, which will produce a per fectly satisfactory result in all but very exceptional cases. A KENTUCKYJMIRAOLE. JUDIiK JOHN M. HICK TBMiM IIOW lIK WAS CURED OK KIIKC* MATISM. Crlpi!pil lor Mix Yearn With Srintlra In ltn Worst Form. He Expected tr Die, lint Wan Saved In Marvelous Manner. (From (ho Covington, A'//., Post.*, Tho Hon. John M. Ilice, of Louisa, Liw ronoo County, Kentucky, has for tho prist Iwo years rotirod from nctlvo life as Crim inal find Oirouit Ju lge of tho Sixtoonth Ju dicial District of Kontuoky. 110 has for many years servo 1 his native county and state in tho legislature at Frank fort and at Washington, and, until his re tirement, was a noted figure In political nn 1 Judicial circles. The Judge is well known throughout the state an l possess)* tho best qualities which go to make a Kentucky gen tleman honored wherever he is known. About six years ago the bo lily troubles which finally caused his retirement at a time whon his mental faculties were in tho zenith of their strength, bogan their encroachment upon his naturally strong constitution. A few days ago a Kentucky Post reporter called upon Judge Itlce, who in the follow ing words related tho history of tho causes that led to his retirement: "It is just about six years slnco I had an attack of rheuma tism, slight at first, but soon devoloping into ! Sciatic rheumatism, which began first with acute shooting pains in tho hips, gradually extending downward to my feet. "My condition became so bad that I even tually lost all power of my logs, and thou tho liver, kidnoj-s and bladder and, in fact, my whole system became deranged. I tried the treatment of many physicians, hut receiving no Insting benefit from them. 1 had recourse t< patent remedies, trying one kind after an other until I believe there were none I had not sampled. "In IHBR, attended by my son John. I went to Hot Springs, Ark. I woe not mil ih bene fited by some months' stay there when I re turned home. My liver'was actually dead, and a dull, persistent pain in its region kept me on the rack all thn time. In 1890 1 was reappointed Circuit Judge, but it was impos sible for me to give attention to my duties. In 1891 I went to the Silurian Springs, Wake shnw. Wis. I stayed there some time, but Without Improvement. "Again 1 returned home, this time feeling no hopes of recovery. The muscles of my limbs wore now reduced by atrophy to mere strings. Sciatic pains tortured me terribly, but it was the disordered condition of my liver that was, I felt, gradually wearing my liln away. Doctors gave me up. all kinds of remodies had been tried without avail, and there was nothing more for mo to do but re sign myself to fate. "I lingered on in this condition sustained almost entirely by stimulants until April, 1H93. One day John saw an account of J>r. Williams' Pink Pill* for Pale People in the Kentucky Post. This was something new, and us ono more drug after so many others could not do so much harm. Johu prevailed upon me to try the Pink Pills. It was, I think. In the flrst week in May tho pills ar rived. I remember I was not expected to Jive for more than three or four days at the time. Tho effect of the Pills, however, was marvelous, and I could soon eat heartily, a thing I had not done for years. The liver began almost instantaneously to perform its functions, and has done so ever since. Without doubt, the pills saved my life, an I, while I do not crave notoriety; I cannot re -1 tiso to testify to their worth.' The reporter called upon Mr. Hughes, tho Louisa druggist, who informed him that Dr. Williams' Pink l'ills have been \ery popular since Judge Klce used them with MIICH nenc llt. 110 mentioned several who have found relief in their use. An analysis of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Tale People shows that they contain, in a condensed form, ail the elements necessary | to give new life and richness to tho blood and restore shattered nerves.
