Au array of mailed forms, including
the "shard-bomo beetle, with his drowsy
bum," demauds attention. In uo beetle
and, indocd, in no other insect do we
meet the perfection of vocalization seon
iu tho gruKtdioppcrs and their relations.
And with tho beotlo wo approach more
clearly to tho region of "hums and
droning, and leave that ot specialized
sounds, suoh as we have been metephor-
acally heuring.iu the cicadas. To psss from
tho litter insocts to the beetles, beos,
flies and othor neighbors, appears to be
a transition almost as wide as that bo
tweeu tbo articulate language or arith
metio of culture and the scanty vocab
nlary of the savago or primitive matbe
ruutios of tbo tribe wbo can count ton as
represented on their fingers and toes,
but ask in amazement why thero should
be more thiugs in the world. In the
beetles tho souud-producing organ is
comparable to a kind of "rasp wlncli
moves upon an adjoining surface. Tbe
site of the organ in question varies m
different beetles. In some tbo rasps aro
situated on the upper surface, of orw or
two of the tail segments, and are rubbed
aguin.st tho binder edges of tho wiug cov
ers. Sometimes the ranp is placed quite
at tho tip of the tail: and in some
well known beetles (snoli as tho weevils)
tho rasps may be worn ou tho wing cov
ers and may produce the stiidulating
sounds by rubbing against the edge ol
tho joints of tbe tail. Among tho sonuds
prod need by beetles, tho weird noiso of
tbe death-watch (Anonium) stands pre
eminent. Tbo sound produced by these
beetles resembles the ticking of a watch,
and they msy be made to respond by
placing a watch close by their habitats.
The female death-watchers are known to
tick in response to tbe souuds of tbo
male insects. Tbe noise is produced ap
parently by the insect raising itself on
its lega and bv its striking its chest
againat the adjoining wood. Thus tbe

Butterflies and moths are known oc

ferouia) "mikes a noise like that pro
duced by a spring-catch, wbicb can be
heard at a distance of several yards."

The Dmipir of Mead Drinking.
While every one is willing to admit
that the habitual drinking of spirituous
liquors is detrimental lo hoaltb.few per
sons believe that, except in cases of inor
dinate indulgence, ale and beer are in
jurious. Kj general is the conviction
that these beverics are harmlets that
they are frequently drank instead of wa
ter, as a safeguard to health. In view of
thu character of the water furnished the
inhabitants, not only to this city, but to
tbe dwellers of other closely populated
sections as well, thero would aeem to
be sorao excuso for this reasoning. This
point, however, is open to discussion,
and beforo jumping at any corcluiion
as to tbo advantages of malt liquors ver
sus water, it will bo wiso to consider tbe
opiuions of medical men, wbo have
abundant opportunity to watch tbo ef
fects of each and aro presumably quali
fled to judge of their respective merits.
Moreover tho man who drinks bcor or
alo as a sanitary measure can havo no
assnranco that it is not mado from water
originally even more impure than that
be seeks to avoid, and further defiled by
drugs and herb) which are in themselves
prejudicial to health, lo the in
jurious effects of malt liqu
ors numerous English physicians of
note have recently borne testimony.
In ft letter recently delivered by Mr.
William Ilargravo, bo referred to tbo
opinions of a few of theso professional
experts. All of thorn agree that tbo Lon
don draymen, wbo havo tbo unlimited
privilege of the brewery cellar, ae the
worst patients in the Metropolitan hos
pital. Though they aro apparently mod
els of health and strength, yet if one of
them receives a serious injury, it is
nearly always necessary to ampntato in
order to give him the remotest chanca of
life. Sir Astley Cooper finds that even
so slight an injury as a scratch on the
hand from a splinter is quite sufficient
to frequently cause death to the habitual
beer drinker. Dr. Gordon says that tbo
moment beer drinkers are attacked with
acuto diseases they are not able to bear
depletion, aud dio. Dr. Edwards thinks
their disoasos are always of a dangerous
character, and that in cases uf accident
they can never undergo even the most
triling operation with the security of
the temperate. Other medical men of no
less nolo nro of the opinion that malt
liquors render the blood sizy anl unfit
for circulation hence proceed ob
structions and inflammations of the lungs
and that there aro few great bear
drinkers who aro not phthisical, brought
on by tho glutinous and indigostiblo na
ture of tho alo and porter. Theso
liquors inflame the blood, and tear to
pices the tender vessels of tbo lunci
Tbe experience of these gontlcmen
teaches them not alono are the brain and
lungs affected by even tho moderate use
of beer, but the stomach is also mado to
pay its sharo of the penclty. Tho nerves
of tho stomach are injured, causing dys
pepsia, etc., and its muotious lining bo
comes inflamed and covered with ulcerous
putches. In conclusion, they think that
regular moderate di inking is more inju
rious than periodical drunkenness, with
iutervuls of abstinence. It is, then,
tho daily tippling iu which tho greatest
danger lies. Tho stomach is subjected
to frequent stimulation and depression,
and the system has uo time to overcome
tbo injury of tbo poison which accumu
lates from dy to day, never ceasing in
its work of destruction. The conclusions
rfci.cbod by a recently presented report
of the committee of tho llarveian socioty
in England relating to tho mortality dua
to alcohol nioy bo of interest in this con
nection, as there is no reason to believe
that tho death rate from such causes in
Eugland and America differs very widely,
Tho report says:
' There is, upon tho whole, reason to
think that in tho metropolis the mortal
ity among auy coutsideratlo group of in
temperuto persons will differ from that
generally prevailing among adults in
tbo following important particular,
namely: A fourfold increuso in tho
deaths from diseases of tho liver or chyl
opoetio viscera, a two-fold increuso in the
deaths from disease of tho kidneys, n do
crease of half as much again of those
from heart disease, a marked increase of
those from pucumonia and pleurisy, a
considerable increaso and nn earlier re
currence of thoso from disease of the cen
tral norvous system, a marked increaso
in thoso from bronchitis, asthma, emphy
sema and congestion of tbo lungs, ado
creaso uearly ds great iu thoso from
phthisis, and a later occurrence, or at
least termination, of tho disease, a very
largo doereaso in thoso from old age,
with an increase iu those referred to
atrophy, dobiiity, etc, and tho addition
of a considerable group referred in gen
eral terms to alcoholism or chronic alco
holism, or resulting from accidents."

Miss Juliet Corson, in llarper's B iz ir,
treats tho bread question, as r.H other
details of cookery, from a practical point
of view. Sbo says a good word for ier.i
ted bread, made cf doiiKh, into which
carbouio acid gas is forced, and baked
before tho bubbles have a chance to
escape. The main objection to fresh
yeast bread for dyspeptics is th it it is
soft, and therefore too easily swollen,
whereas tho "stale" bread requires mnch
mastication. If sufferers who have been
avoiding new bread will take tho same
trouble in chewing it as tbey ate com
pelled to do with tho old, they will got
all the advantage of their patience in tbe
more palstablo article. Tlio fresh broad
eater really tasks his digestion with a
much larcer mass of spongy quality
than the stale bread eater, and one which
has not been as well broken np bv tbe
etion of the silivs. If dyspeptics were
careful to ake the smallest mouthfuls at
a time tbey would find even fresh bread
more nanagoable, with sufficient chew
ing, than is supposed. In the choice of
flours, that msde from hard winter
wheat is tbe riohest in gluten ; In Europe
it is used for mukiug the different vari
eties of maccaroni; the brown bread of
Europe is roadii from this wheat ground
entire. Soft spring wheat yields a whita
floor rich in starch. Bran bread may be
very irritating to some invalids, so
"Graham bread" and tho "whole meal"
fashion should only be adopted when it
is proved to be satisfactory. The parti
cles of bran msy cause an irritation of
tbe alimentary caoal and produoe diar
rheas. Undoubtsdly this irritation or
stimulus may ba exactly what is needed
by aome constitutions.

A a Sun reporter glanced at a glass
showcase in front cf a taxidermist's store
on Williams street bis glance was re
turned by u hnndred eyes of various
colors and dimensions. They wero yel
low, blue, csrniine, b'own and oval,
round and oval, largo and small. Some
bod tho mild, snpphcating gaze of an
Alderuy cow, some the glaroof tbo tiger,
some the wary glanco of tbe fox, some
tbe steady stare of the owl, and some the
idiotic look of a wax dummy.
A sign on tho case read: "Artificial
eves for stuffed birds, etc.," and painted
band pointed upstairs. In a email front
room on tbe secoud floor were a number
of showcases full of all kinds of fancy
articles of glueswaro, and among tbe
cases was ouo containing eyes like those
below. Scattered over a tablo were thia
bars of glass of various hues. From the
back room camo a combination of souuds
liko the whirr of a sewing machine aud
tbe sprrr-ut of a gas flamo in draught.
Mingled with these were complaints ot
tho heat, and directions to a small boy to
take a tin can and get ttn cents' worth of
something cold. In the back tbe
reporter saw two men engaged in
glass blowing, and a third super
intending them. One of the men bad a
bar of ordinary crystal glass. Holding
it in the gas lla-ao, he worked a lump of
glass around the end of a wire. While
it was still soft bo handed it over to tbe
other blower, wbo took a very thin bar of
yellow glass, and, boating it, worked it
into the crystal. When after n whilo be
removed tlie crystal and yellow glass
from tho flams, tbo glass at the end of
tho wire looked like a round, glowing
eye. Asitcaoled down the yellow that
had worked in began to resemble more
and more a yellow iris. When it was
thoroughly cool and hard it looked like a
large owl's eye, tbo pupil being a section
of the wire on which tbo glass wss
heated.
Before the glass had cooled, the first
man had heated another piece of crystal
glass, molded it, and handed it to the
secoud man, who again worked in a piece
of yellow glass.
"We've got enongh owl's eyes now,"
tbe superintendent said. "I guess yon
bad better make fifty dolls' eyes, fifteen
pair bluo and tho rest brown."
"You see," ho continued, turning to
tbe reporter, "baby dolls mostly have
light hair ua 1 blue eyes, while large
young lady dolls ara brunottes. As tho
baby dolls aro cheaper, there is more
demand for them, and so I have to keep
more blue eyes on hand."
As be finished speaking, tbe first work
mau pressed the soft, boated crystal glass
into a tiny mold, drew it out a "tiny white
human eye, and banded it to tbe second
workman, wbo icscrtod a small blue iris,
just as he had inserted tho yellow pupils
in the owl eyes. After the glass had
cooled down it looked like a weo bluo
human eye. When fifteen pairs bad thus
bei-n made, the heated crystal was dipped
into a larger mould for largo young lady
dolls' eyes, aud browu irises workod in.
When ten pairs of these bad been made
tho superintendent said:
"Now, that we've mado eyes for babies
and young ladies, we'll mako soma for
full-grown women milliner's wax lay-
figures, you know. Brown eyes this
titne.becauso wo ve got blue eyes enough
ou bund."
This time the heated crystal glass was
pressed into a mold as largo as a woman s
eye, and n correspondingly largo iris was
worked iu.
"Is your principal tralo in eyes for
dolls and lay-flguics, or in artificial eyes
for beasts and birds?" tbo repoitcr asked
tbe superintendent.
"In the latter. That is my specialty. I
havo two diplomas from the American
society of taxidermists."
"Do you sell your goods at retail to
people who have pets stuffed?"
"No. I am simply a manufacturer
and sell to dealers in artificial eyes,
though I also sell to taxidermists."
"And for what eyes do you have tho
most demand?"
"Of cours9 for artificial eyes for stuffed
household pets dogs' eyes, cats' eyes,
and hmall birds' eyes."
"And do you keep theso in all sizes?"
"Not only in all sizes, but in a 1 shapes.
The shapo of tbe eye differs according
to tho position .of tho bird or animal
though tho differeuco is greater iu ani
mals than in birds."
"In what animal docs tbe shape of the
eye vary tho most."
"Decidedly the cat. Tho shapes cf
the cat's eye ruu nil tbo way from round
to oysl. It depends on whether tbe cat
is looking into a flamn of light or in a
dark room, or is purring, or
just waking op, or opening
its . eyes in a doso aud on
many other circn instances. Now peoplo
may remember their cat with most pleas
ure in a certain position, and according
ly havo it stuffed in tint position. Of
conrso tho taxidermist comes to mo for
the eyes which suit tho position, and it
is in shaping them according to tbe exi
gencies of tbe occasion that the manufac
turer shows his skill."
"Sonio animals, I suppose, havo large
eyes tor their sizo and some have small
ones?"
"O'.i, yes. The owl has a very krge
eye for its size, when you compsro it to
tho peacock, which has very small eyes."
"For what animal or bird do ou
make the lagest eyes and for which tho
smallest?"
"I mako tbe largest eyes for the moose
and the smallest for tb- thrush."
"Do you use other colors than brown
and yellow in making eyes for beasts
and birds."
"For some fancy Soulh American
birds I have to, or tbey wouldn't look
natural."
As the reporter went down stairs the
sun was streaming into the show-case on
the street bnt the eyes didn't blink.
The Riverdale.a Hudson river steamer,
while in New York harbor, on tbe after
noon of the 28th instant, exploded her
boiler. Over 100 passengers were on
board at tbe time and many were thrown
into the river by the force of the explo
sion while others jumped into the water
to escapA sotlding from tbe hissing
steam. Tho steamer sank in ten min
utes after tbe explosion. The loss of life
is varionsly estimated at from ten to
fifty, and would have been much greater
were it not for the assistance rendered
tbo unfortunate passengera by the large
number of crafts in tbe river at the
tiao.
Dam lug With a Duke.
Tho other night the young .Inkerf
Newcastle danced with five gorged
partnors. It was a special ball night,
und so the toilets were such as to illus

rian striped muBlin, transparent, lined
with pink silk and looped over a short
underskirt, of abito sutin cut into blocks
around tbe bottom. Each block is band
painted with a spray of pink morning
glories and foliage, this block trimming
falling over a deep flounco of Oriental
la;o. Tbo aatiu bndico has a spray of
morning glories, starting from tbe left
shoulder, crossing the waist diagonally
aud fulling iu a garland over tho tides of
the paniers.
His second wore a dress of heavy
whito corded silk, hand-embroidered in
whito sadler silk bouquets. Tho front
is a breadth of splendid ohcuillc embroid
ery in tbe proper colors for roses and
droopiug clusters of wisterias nud their
foliago. Tbe lcng train is split up tbo
back, nod from tbe opening thero rusurs
a sweeping of this chenille-embroidered
silk.
Tho third is in purplixh blue and
bluish French gray, both materials the
heaviest satin, aud at tbe smallest calcu
lation twenty yards of euch is gobbled in
the manufacture of this stunning cos

a girl iu a toilet of oak satin merveillenx,
trimmed on the bottom with a puffing of
tho same stun, surmounted by a Conice
of old rose silk, embroidered in open

large pleats set on all around.
But tbe moiit gorgeous dreps pressed
by tbe dnke's son's arm is gendarme

This superb material is puffed, looped

soup if it is liked; set a sieve
over a largo earthern bowl, and
pour tho soup into tho sieve;
rub the peas through tbe sieev
with a potato masher, aud return them
with tbo liquid part of tbo soup to tho
soup kettle; put in with the pen 3 tbe
meat, after it has been cut up, a table
spoonful of finely chopped parsley, and
a spoonful of chopped celery; set tbo
soup kettle over tbe fire, and let tho soup
beat to tbe boiling point; while tho soup
is heating, ont.in half inch slices enougb
stale bread to nearly fill a pint bowl, and
fry it light brown in somo drippings or
butter, made smoking hot over tbe fire
before putting bread into it. Put fried
bread into tbe soup tureen, pour tbe hot
soup on it, and servo it at once. The
fried bread is sometimes sent to the
table ou a dish, and a few bits of it are
placed in each plate of soup as it is
served; this preserves the crispness of
tbe bread.
If tbe soup is thicker than very thick
cream after it is put through tbe sieve a
little boiling water may be added to it
for the purpose of thinning it; tbe sea
soning must be made palatable before
serving tbe soup.
A Famous Aeronant.
The village of Tidalon-les-Annony,
celebrated last moi.tb the centenary of
Joseph Montgolfier, the famoas balloon
ist. His father was a well-to-do paper
maker. Tbe son, wbo bad au excellent
education, early showed a marked taste
for science, and very early signalized
himself by improvements in gunpowder
manufacture and many other industries,
more esjeeially paper-making. His bal
loon invention created an extraordinary
excitement in Frauce, and Louis XVI.
conferred on him an order and a pension
and letters of nobility on his father a
rare instance of speedy reeoguitiou for
an Inventor in high quarters, llo met
with equal acceptance at tbe bands of
Napoleon, who gave him the Legion of
Honor, and mado him director of arts
and manufacture. Montgolfier Lad a
most able coadjutor iu bis brother,
Etienne, and a modest pyramid at Ao
nonay commemorates the two. The
people there think that tbe Montgoifier3
deserve something better, and a sub
scription has been opened for that end.
Its promoters aver that those who recall
that sixty -four balloons cirried 3,000,000
of letters into and out of Paris during
tbe siege, should cheerfully contribute.
Montgolfier would probably be much
mortified and surprised were he to re
turn to earth to day. and find that the
guidance of balloons remains as poor
Mr. Powell, the British member of par
liament, found at the cost of his life two
years ago, as mnek a mystery at ever.
A Galveston school teacher asked l
new boy: "If a carpenter wants to cover
a roof fifteen feet wide by thirty feet
broad with shingles five feet broad by
twelve feet long, how many shingles will
be Deeded?" The boy took down his hat
and slid for the door. "Where are you
going?" asked tbe teacher. "To find a
carpenter. Ho ought to know that bet
ter tbaa any of we fellers." Hartford
