Terminating the Hair.-When the hair
ceases to draw from the scalp the natural lubricant
which its sustenance its vitality is as it were sus-
pended, and, If not promptly attended to, badness
will be the certain result The one sure method OF
avoiding such an unpleasant catastrophe Is to use
LYoS's KATHAIRoN, which, when well rubbed into
the scalp, will speedily reanimate the hair and pre-

The Praying Mantis.

THE Popular Science Monthly contains an
interesting article on the mantis, or praying
insect which belongs TO the genus "orthOp-
terra" including crickets, grasshoppers, To-
Gusts, etc. II is described as being very pugs
nacious; so much so, that II two of the insect
be shut up together they Immediately engage
i'm desperate combat. They do not cease
until the stronger has eaten off the others
head. "And yet" says the writer Of the arti-
Gle, "while its inofensive orthopterous breth-
rem have got but little credit for their virtues,
and are generally reyiled as nuisances, this
atrocious little savage has had the fortune to
acquire peculiar reputation for wisdom and
saintliness For thousands of years. and in
all parts of the world, II has borne this char
acter. The cause has been that IT haDltnally
assumes an attitude that appears devotional,
and it was supposed to spend large portion
of its life in prayer. Settled on the ground,
it raises its head and thoraX, clasps together
the joints of its front legs and raises them as
If in supplicatiou, and remains in this posture
for hours together. To our illogical and
superstitious forefathers what could the
appraised and crossed arms indicate but
an attitude of devotion The name
mantis (diviner) was given TO this insect, 1t is
said, by the Greeks, in accordance with the
notion that, when the creature assumes its
peculiar attitude of meditation, ii is engaged
In the contemplation of futurity. Naturalists
have encouraged the superstition by giving
names to the different species which imply
some kind Of sanctity; thus, we have Mantis
oratoria, Mantis religiosa, Mantis supcrstitlosa,
etc With the French II is the Prega Dieu
Chat prays TO Cod lie Precheur (the preach
err; with the Germans 1t is Gottesanbeteru
| (worshiper of Cod, while the Englsh-speak'
| ing nations have dubbed it the Praying Insect
The names familiarly given to it in Southern
Europe were sufficiently expressive OF the
yeneTation with which II is regarded-nun
| saint, supplant, mendicant, etc. In the eyes
of the Languedoc peasants, says Figuier, the
Mantis religosa is held sacred and they firm
| ly believes that 1t performs its devotions.
Mr., Spicer, writing in Science Gossip, remarks;
Nor was this feeling of yeneration confined
to the nations of Europe. AT the present day
land doubtless 1t was the same in old times
also) a Mantis Is an object of worship with
certain tribes of North Africa Sparman alsC
tells MS Travels in AfricaO that in the south
ern part of the same continent 1t is venerateC
by the Hottentots and that, should one o
these insects chance TO settle ON an individual
he is looked upon in the light of saint anC
as specially favored by heaven"

| Special Dtspntch to The Chicago Tribune.
JANEsvlLlE Wis, April t4.-The rumor Of
last night that ono Of tho inmates of tho Blind
Institute was burned, unfortunately proves to
| bo true. Henry Wilaon, blind mnn from
Bctoit, WHO was aub]oct to attachR Of epilepsy,
| and who had been in tho institution for some
timo for tho purpose Of learning tho nrt Of mat-
| ing broous, was tho unfortunate. Ho Ind ro-
turned to tho institution tho day previous from =
visit to his friends in tho country. On account
OF delicate health, he was excused from somo of
tho rules and duties enjoinod on tho othor put
pills. His room was situated near tho southeast
corner OF tho west transverse wing, and near
whore tho fro originated.
When tho claas~roadiugs commenced. which
wero In progress at tho time tho fro was dis
covered, he WIS excused md went to his room.
SUPERINTENDENT LITTLE ATTEa1p1sI TO RESCUE
HIM.
Superintendent Little received his injurlos in
his desperate efforts to reach this mans room,
and tho fire drove him buck only when 1t became
evident TINT ho must abandon tho effort or loso
his life. It is thought TINT under the oxcito-
mont Of tho first alarm an nttack Of epilepsy
was induced which rendered Nelson holplosB ru-
til it was too late to effect his escape from tho
building.
CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
In regard to the cause Of tho tire, Supt. Little
says Tint at halt-paHt o'clock tho house was
cold, and he wont down and found no at cam on
A. tire WAS started up ut once tho CHIP cuttings
from tho broom-shop being used for tho prr-
pose Of quickening stean, and II is supposed
that sparaB from this light material were carried
! out Of tho top Of tho chimney. At tho timo
| strong wind was blowing from tho southwest in
tho general direction OF, nnd in range with. a
| line drawn from the summit Of the chimney aud
elevator to tho cupola on tho main bulldIns. and
it is supposed That this oddly in tho air
curront on the auumit Of tho buihlinp
carried sparks from the chimney through tho
alats into tho upper part Of tho ventjlator. aud
lodged them in the woodwork. Dy tho constant
current Of wind Of the elevator, these sparks
were famed into "A flame which gradually worked
down tho ventilator, md thus communicated
with tho interior Of tho building. This Ia tho
only hypothesis which can possibly account for
tho fire. There was no other fro IN that part Of
tho building and mover had boon, and, so far ns
is known, no other mems by which the fro
could hayo originated.
THE loss.
