stout reeds, and fill them with cuculios.
If the cage is hung in dark room the
light from the cuculios is strong enough
to enable one to read print, if the book
is held near the cage. There is also a
small place underneath the body from
which this singular beetle emits light,
but the effect is not so beautiful as that
of the two beads on the head. If the
cuculio is disturbed by being shaken in
its cage, or in any other way, the light
it throws out intenSiieS until tits fairly
dazzling.
These beautiful beetles may easily be
brought across the ocean in their little
cages, and if guarded from cold air,
and fed plentifully with sugar-cane,
from which they suck the juice, or even
with coarse brown sugar moistened a
little, they will live long time.
These varieties of beetles mentioned
are only a small handful among thou
sands, for there are more members OF
this great family than naturalists have
vet been able to count. There are
beetles that fly by night, and beetles
that fly by day; some that live in the
ground, others in the water, and yet
others on trees and among the leaves
and flowers. They are OF all 'colors,
and of varied appetites, some living
solely on insects, others on fruits and
vegetables and leaves of different kinds.

A Centipede in a Peach Seed.

G. D. Parham, messenger for the
Southern Express, is responsible for the
following story: While at Texarkana a
few days since in the discharge Of his
duties. he purchased some peaches of a
boy who was vending them on the depot
platform. They were unusually large
and fine, being of the cling stone order,
and Mr.. Parham devoured the first one
with great relish. The second one was
even more toothsome, and, afterremOv-
ing all the meat that was possible from
the stone, he placed the latter in his
mouth while he turned to attend to
some duty. Several times he felt some
thing tickle the roof of his mouth, and
when at leisure again he examined the
stone carefully. Protruding from one
edge of it he discovered something that
resembled SPIDERS leg, and when
touched with a knife it gave evidence of
life. Mr.. 2arham called to his side Geo.
Stanton an Iron Mountain engineer,
and j. r. Martin, agent for the South
ern Express at TeXarkana. The stone
was carefully opened with knife and
thsre snugly embedded was cent?
rede. 1t was in torpid state at first,
but the sunlight brought it into full
vigor in very few seconds, and it be-
gan to look around for place of more
safety. 1t was placed under a hat until
bottle could be procured. 1t was
forced into its new glass prison and Sc
curely corked with the intention OF
bringing it to St. Louis. On the trip to
this city the bottle was accidentally
broken, and Mr.. Parham was compelled,
much against his will, to kill his dan
gerous prisoner. 1t measured a frac-
ton less than two inches in length

lovers full story, as with Betsey's hand
in his, he stood before her. There was
a dignity and earnestness in his manner
that compelled both attention and re-
spect.
"Such good fortune has befallen me
that have come to talk it over with
you," he said. Il have been offered a
partnership in my Uncle Jobs store,
he to furnish capital, and l to relieve
him in every way, by taking the care
and responsibility of the business; in
other words, he asks me to be son to
him. He is alone in the world save me.
/ am now through studying and Uncle
Job wants home in which we may live
together Now l ask your gracious per-
mission to take your daughter Betsey,
whom | ardently do love, to make our
home and earthly paradise. | have won
her consent and pray you will not re-
fuse to make us happy"
Mother Remington wiped her eyes
with one corner of her starched linen
apron, rose from her chair returned to
it and finally spoke.
Young man, l owe you no i'll will,
and | know that Betsey loves you. |
never agin shall lay out to do this, or
that, or t'other, cause in all human
concait it would not turn out as | tend
ed to hev it. l give her to you fair and
above board, KNOWN that every hair in
her blessed young he'd is honest one.
"She'S been my little girl and | give
the heart out O my body when give
her to you. Sorrer and loss comes fast
enough in this world, and maybe it's
the best way to scrape up and save what
true love squeezes into it."
Aunt Polly's dear old eyes were dim
with tears as she stroked her false front
with one hand and gave Mrs. Reming-
ton the other exclaiming, "Now I'm
proud of you, sister Hetty, for you
speak the things which become sound
doctrine"
"And now comes a hard point to set
tle," urged Henry, "My uncle is
obliged to 90 out to his possessions in
Holland Purchase and will be absent
some time. He is obliged 70 start
from New York on Saturday of next
week or wait the next CONVEYANCE,
which will not leave in months, | must
return to help him off and to assume his
duties. The stage leaves tomorrow
night at six. Must l 90 alone or will
you grant me my wife? Remember"
he added with quiet dignity, "that my
courtship has been long one."
No word was spoken to settle the
matter, but jim declared it a master
stroke of economy that the quilting
feast and the wedding supper should
be one and the same.
When Betsey Remington sought her
room that night a glorious moon was
silvering the silent earth and as she sat
by her window she tried to still the tu-
multuous beatings of her heart and to
recall all the later events of the day.
She went forecasting into the morrow,
but could think of nothing with steadi-
ness Or quiet, in the first flush of her
great rejoicing; but she smiled to her
self and said, "To think of our quilting

A Swiss Forest Disappears.

AN occurrence, which may be par
TALLY or wholly attributable to the rude
shakings which Switzerland has recently
undergone, is reported from Quarten,
in the Canton of St Gall. A short time
ago the people in the neighborhood
noticed signs Of uneasiness about the
Schnelbelberg. The summit OF the
mountain appeared to be in a precari-
Gus position, and it was feared that it
might slip down and overwhelm the
SchAebelwald, an extensive wood in the
valley below. In anticipation OF a pos
sible catastrophe, great efforts were
made to cut down and carry away as
many trees as possible, though the men
engaged in the work wrought at the
peril of their lives. A few days ago.
when fortunately there was nobody in
the wood, a deafening report, like the
firing of heavy artillery, resounded
through the valley, and the mountain
was hidden from view by thick cloud
of dust When It dispersed, the Schneb-
elberg was seen to be shorter by few
metres, and the beautiful wood in the
Murgthal had diappeared beneath
huge avalanche of stones and earth.

MISS POLLY ROSE.


[ wish you knew Miss Polly Rose, who lives
She is the most unlucky girl ever chanced to
meet;
She tumbed down the steps one day and broke
her pretty nose;
To see it. you would think it must have stood
some fearful blOUS;
And then she got fractured limb when visit
ing one day,
BY falling from the wagon when the horses ran
away.
She has a most asthmatic wheeze whene 'er she
tries to cry,
And when she wants to cough or sneeze, out
falls her only eye!
One day. when she went out to walk, her nurse
quite angry grew,
And punched the other optic out, and left this
one askew.
So, with her badly-battered nose and sadly
squirting eye,
It's plain to see her handsome days have long
since passed her by.
Her hair is getting very thin; she cannot wear
comb;
There's not enough to braid or curl and so,
when she's at home,
She twists it up as best she can and ties it with
string;
They talk of getting her wig if wigs are
cheap next spring.
She's kept her bonnet on of late whenever she
But doesn't mind it If we laugh about her get
ting bald.
For all she has broken nose, for all her hair
is thin,
For all one eye is gone and she can't keep the
other in,
1 think they love her just as well as in the days
of yore;
Because of her unluckiness, perhaps they love
her more.
l know she is a favorite, no matter where she
goes,
This most unlucky doll of dolls whose name is
Polly Rose.

SUNSHINE.
An old barn-chamber heaped with new-mown

An old barn-chamber heaped with new-mown
hay,
And swallows nests along the messy caves;
The sleepy sunshine lies there all the day
II gilds the cUbwebs' misty lace of gray
And iickcr5 thrO' the faded clover leaves.
Back in the corner shadows dark and tall
Beckon to elm-bOughs waving by the orchard
wall.
No sound but swallows flying to and fro,
Or tinkle of a bell in pasture near.
Soft shadows on the hillside come and go,
While over heights of blue sweep, still and
slow,
White wreaths of cloud that melt and disap-
pear.
Under the hill thin smoke rises, curled
Like incense from the altar of peaceful
world.

Mr.. Gladstone Under Arrest.

On Wednesday a trial took place
which is not recorded in the law reports
of the newspapers. Mr.. Gladstone
with others, his colleagues) was de-
livered into custody, was tried by a
jury before Sir Frederick Pollock, and,
after examination had, was acquitted.
Such is the bare statement of the fact;
to the outer world they are disguised
by various fctions. When Mr.. Glad
stone " doubled the parts of Prime
Minister and Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, a multitude of minor offices
and functions fell to his lot de facto.
Thus he holds the post of Master and
Worker of the Mint and thus he be-
comes liable to the judicial proceeding
known as the " trial of the pyx." The
pyx, (Which, by the by, is only the
Greek way of spelling box) meant Of
old the holy casket containing the con-
secrated Host; some etymologists even
tell us that the word survives, though
transformed, and that the vulgar SEEM
ing phrase, Please the pigs" is really
devout reference to the saint ctb0ire.
Now it means, in mint language, a GER
tain iron safe into which specimen
pieces from eacn Datcn OF goId anu sIi-
yer coinage are placed. On set day
the Lord Chancellor summons jury of
goldsmiths; he charges them with the
assay of the pieces in the pyx and pend
ing the result he delivers into their Gus
tody all the officers of the mint. From
1890 a. D. no precedent exists for the
punishment of the Queens coiners when
they fail of their duty. The pyx pieces
have always been of true weight and
goodness; the coiners have always been
acquitted. Fortunately, on Wednesday,
the result was as happy as usual and
the master of the mint is safe for another
year.-PaN Mall Gazette.

The Carnival I'm Paris.
[Partsian.1

Like many other usages. like the reveillon,
Ike the Promenade OF Longchamps, like
Twelfth Night, like Easter eggs, which, by
the way. ara just beginning to appear In the
dairy shops, the carnival is disappearing
from Partisan manners and customs. The
carnivalis no longer celebrated, except In the
thirty-two great and small balls which ex-
let all over Paris for the greater satisfaction
Of counter jumpers and clerks. The carnival
proper comprises the three days which pre-
cede Ash Wednesday, together with the
Thursday Of Mid-Lent, and the following
Sunday. On these days we expect to see
masks, cardboard noses, dominOs and fancy
costumes. This year such expectations were
disappointed. On Shrove Tuesday the boule-
wards were crowded. and here and there ap-
peared little child dressed as Plerrot or as
milkmaid, but such phenomena were the
exception. In the evening the exterior boule-
wards made lugubrions attempt at liveli-
ness, but 1t failed. Never has there been
such dearth Of masks and gayety. Mardl
Gras this year was az dull as London Sum
day. The beau monde, too, has changed it's
habits. Formerly the saloons were open from
Christmas to Lent; now the London fashion
Ia being adopted, and the season begins at
Easter and runs on to the beginning Of sum-
mer. The French now hunt In the winter or
take refuge at Nice. Monaco, Cannes, Pau,
Algeria or Madeira. High society In France
has not abandoned the pursuit Of pleasure, as
some would have US believe; 1t has simply
changed the season.

A King of sweden ~ . BOOtblAck.
fpaIl Mall Gazette1

Speaking OF Bernadotte. this reminds me
OF an incident In the life OF the founder OF the
present dynasty. Taken prisoner, when still
q private, at the capture OF Pondichery, he
found himself among batch OF some 1900
and 1900 prisoners, all suffering more or less
from fever and dysentery. Gen. Won W.
In passing through their camp. noticed the
taking an interest In the youthful prisoner
he took him into his house as an extra order
~, and for several months Bernadotte per-
formed the humble office Of brosseur; how
ever. HON esick, he begged to be included In
an exchange Of prisoners and he left for
France.
Years after Gen. Won W was in COM
mand Of small German fortress besieged
by the French. After q heroic resistance he
had to capitulate One may imagine his sur
prise when, on delivering his sword to the
Prince Of Ponte Corvo, the French Marshal
threw himself Into his arms, exclaim ming:
brosseur!" Later on, when called to the
throne OF Sweden, the King invited Cen Won
W repeatedly to his capital, and never
failed to relate that he THE King) had once
been cleaning the boots OF his gallant guest.
