"De comin' man will be 'le·Jted State, County or City Treasurer, an' when his term has expired his books will balance an' his accounts will be squar' to a cent. " De comin' man will h ave a reverence fur de Constitushun of de Union an' a respect fur de laws of his own State. "De comm' man will look &ternly upon embezzlement, bribery an' all sorts of fraud, an' he will take a squar' stand upon au honest political platform.

"You can 11ever get too much of a goed thing ; " but certainly this proverb, like most others, is but an apparent tru:h. What sometimes may b.i cal!ed good, aud regarded as real, is sometimes but an exter· nal a ·· d partial !!;Ood, which by continual habit leads to eYil, or even bacomes evil in itself. ' \Ve are led to this remark from experience, having several times observed the noxious influences of overheating livmgrooms. A hot stove is to be regarded as semething good in cold weather ; yet, under certain conditions, it j,s an i11jurious and improper thing. The first effect d overheating is, that the air_in the room becomes expanded, thus more rarefied, in consequence of its molecules or atoms being removed at a greater distance from each other. The same cqbic measure <;annot, under such ' circumstances, include the same number of · atr atoms as bPfore ; thus, m other words, it will co~£ain' re:n,11¥ .i1 less amount of 'air than before its ove1brntrug. Now oxygen is - the on_ly vivifying eJement of the Corns'equen~ly, by ov.erheating, the air: must lose a lJart of its po:wer and ability to support human life. Out in the open air, for in$tance in the country, the oxygen has been proved partially to exist. as a special allotropic modification, named ozone, wnich, accor'liug to experiments, possesses a higher vitati ve capacity t han oxygen ilself in its general condition, and w.hich may be attributed to a quicker affinity for carbon and hydrogen. It is well known that IU1 agreeable feeling is experietlced in breathing air which has been " purified " by lightning ; in which case the o~ygen of the air has been altered to its second modification-ozone. The fire in the stove does not exercise this transfor,ming influence upon the oxygen; it rather produces the evil effects upon the air which the sun in Summer has upon the evaporations from di1 ty fens and swamps-it changes them into deleterious miasms. Further, if a stove of the best quality, with careful management, produces snch bad effects, it is obvious that a cookingstove or any other of the same ~ind, with negligence, will be still more hurtful. Th smoke, the dust trom t~e Ul:lhes, the nauseous smells from greasy ~ matters, etc,, all tend to the same result, to over-load the air with irrespirablc particles. I do not here take the word " irrespirable " in the sense of not bemg able to pass through the air tubes, but ot being unsuitable for respiration and inadequate to supply the J;tlood with its necessary nourishment- oxygen. Since the blood in this way cannot obtain the proper supply of its" pabulum vitro," oxygen, or its allotropic modification, ozone, the im· pure matters, particularly the carbon and hydrogen, fail to be discharged from the system, and the blood becomes more and m ·re saturated with them. Thus every elementary cellule becomes effete, btcause it cannot rid itself of the noxious excretions. This conditwn especially concerns the red blood corpuscles, and 1 resultantly the white blood corpuscles are hindered in t he course of their development, and thus there inevita bly grows up w thin the blood a state of weakness, an iHcapucity to change t he white into red corpuscles, and of what may be called indigestion of carbomc and hydro· geoic eleme11 ts. The number of t h e red corpuscles mnst decrease while the number of white ones increase, aud soon we have a condition, Rtrange enough, of blood si mul· taneously too black and too white !- black from over-c r bonizatirm of the red corpuscles, white from the increaaed n umber or white ones.

Coe n eal, as found in trade is the dried body of the female cochineal insect, which lives on a bpecies cf catus. During life it is about the size of a small ladybird.- It is rather long, compressed, equally broad all O\·er, wingless, and mar~ed behind with a d eep incisions and wrinkles. The cochineal insect haB six feet, which nevertheless are onlv of u se direc tly aft er birth. It fasttns itself upou the plant by means of a trunk placed between the fore feet, and remains there till it dies. The sap of the p lant provides this little animal with nourishment. The male cochineal insects r esemble the fem.ale only during thr Jarva 8tate. They change into the chrysalis, ancl soon come forth as r ed flies. The female then lays some thon~ands of eggs, and becomes cover· ed with a white powder. She protects the eggs under her body and hatches them, so to speak, in this way. When the younl! insect appears the mother dies. The you11g are now in the larva state, and the sex can· not be di cerned. They lose their skin several times, and the female then fixes herself on the plant. The males aft er passing through the pupa stat e, are winged. Their whole period of life is from two to t ln ee months. The cocl;1ineal insect3 are gathered shortly before they lay eggs, and they a r e then very rich in colouring m:.tter. Only sufficient e.ggs are laid ns ll)ay i;:erve to repmduce ~h~ insect. The dead f emales are also colleeteM.. They are killen with hot water or steam, and dried in the sun, m ove11s, or on plates.

Miss Detchon being the first lady whe ever received a degree from the institution, a Jlecord reporter calle<l at her ofil~e in Girard street recently, in order to arnertain what kind of an opening the profession of d entistry offeied to the gent· !er sex. The ynuug lady was found in very comfor t able and artistic quarters. In reply to a question sh e said : "No ; I am not the only lady dentist in .Philadelphia, there be· ing one other: but 1 do not think that there are any to be found m America outside of this city.
