pany we are when the sun shines warm
and the wind don't blow; for when ID
blows We cant always go the way we
would like, and sometimes, j am sorry
to say, this makes us croGs and diEa-
greeablc. You can hardly imagine a
more pleasant sight than group OF us
chasing each other up and down and
around until our legs are most ready
to drop of. For VIC arc good-looking,
and no mistake; for some Of my cous-

some 4 purple. / am more modest, and
am content with brown coat, curiously
figured with white. and under / wear a
satiny green-and-gold vest. 1 am very
careful OF my clothes, since one suit has
to last lifetime, and many and many
an hour / spend in washing and brush
ing myself from head 10 foot, polishing
and rubbing till my breast shines like
an emerald, and speck Of dust gives
me great deal Of uneasiness till it is
removed.
My legs are long and slim, and I am
quite famous among the other beetles
for the rapid walking and running /

try. This speed il useful TO me in
more ways than one, for when ] want
my dinner ii is not very difficult TO run
some down; and, when once ! have
outrun my game, it doesn't take me
long to tear it TO pieces and swallow il.
Cook it? Why, that's the very way 70
spoil it, for my eating, anyway. once
happened TO come on q place where a
man had eaten some lunch and scat

out OF curiosity, tasted them; but you
can't make me do it again, since that
experiment made me 30 sick thought

only way to eat it, and il You knew as
much as you would agree with me.
My mouth is quite a savage-looking
piece Of machinery, and perhaps you
would like 10 hear about that Instead
OF owning q whole row OF teeth, have
only two on each side of my head, but
those two are so long and 80 strong that
any more would only be in the way.
They are curved hike an old.fashioned
sickle, and are notched on the inside of
the curve, something like a saw. Be
tween the teeth, or mandibles as they
are called, above and below, are several
pairs of joined fingers, or what answer in
the place OF fingers, for holding what
ever am eating, and for turning il
around az l eat it. These fingers
are called mdrul9, and are 10 useful in
taking care of my dinner that without
them should be ss helpless as an old
man without teeth. Immediately back
Of my mandibles are set my eyes, which
are 30 placed on the side Of my head
