Commenting on the amount which a
Crider actually consumed during twen.
ty-four hours, Sir J. Lubbock seys
"At a similar rate of consumption a
wan weighing 160 pounds will require
a whole fat steer for breakfast, a steer
'and five sheep for dinner, and for run -
per two bullocks, eight sheep and fur
slogs, and; just before retiring nearly
four barrels of fresh fish."
If we examine a. fly's head; with the,
microscope, we shall notice that it has
two distinct hinds of eyes; large ones,
placed on' each side of the face, and
little ones or 'ocelli," disposed in tri-
angular form on the vertex. The large
eyes form two convex protuberances
and are composed . of a multitude of
Juxtaposed • hegagonal facets: These
facets appear to be about four thou-
sand'in number; they are not of the
same size, those of the upper part, be.
ing one one -thousandth of an inch in
diameter and those of the lower part
only about one two -thousandths den

are more than food and better than

Talk is thatform o ofhtunans speech
ech
which is exempt front all duties,, for-•
eign and domestic. It is the nearest
thing in the world to thinking' and'
feeling aloud. It is necessarily not
for publication -solely an evidence or
good faith: and mutual kindness. You
tell" me' what :you have seen and -
'what you are thinking, about, be-•
cause you take it for granted .that
it will interest and _entertain nle;
and. . you listen to my replies and• tlie'
recital of my adventures and opin-
ions, t•ecause ,you konw I like to tell
them, and because you find some-
thing in 'thein, of one kind or anotlt--
er, that you care to Bear. It is a
nice game, -with easy, simple rules,
and endless possibilities of varia-`
tion. And if we go into it'with the
right spirit and play it for love,
without heavy stakes, the chances
are that if we happen to be fairly
talkablc people we shall have one
of the best things "in • the tcorld-
