The Death or n Curious Animal.

The golden cucuyo which has been at
Tanys for some time is dead. 1t is one of four or
five specimens of this rare South American beetle
In this city. They are regarded with supersti-
tious reverence by the women of South America,
aud the few that caught, for the beetle is
in its own country, are fastened in tiny fetters Of
gold and worn as an ornament gold or gold
and jeweled band is passed around the thorax, to
which is attached slender gold chain about four
inches long, which ends In a long pin The pin is
thrust into a bouquet Of flowers on the shoulder
or on the hat, and the beetle Is left to rambe the

BILE of living without food for great length OF
time. There is one In the city which is not known
to have eaten anything In two years The beetle
at Tifany's probably died of overieeding, II had
not eaten any food for six months. Its appetite
was tempted with sweetened water and rotten
wood but the creature paid no attention 10 the
food. A piece of banana was placed In the box
which served for Its cage, and IL eagerly began

George EIlocs men,al vitality.

Nothing, indeed, was more remarkable
IN this last period of her life than her intense
mental vitality, which falling health did not seem
In the least to impair. She possessed in an emf
nent degree that power which has led to success
in so many dircctions-which is ascribed both to
Newton and to Napoleon keeping her mind un-
ceasingly at the stretch without conscious fatigue.
She would cease to read or to ponder when other
duties called her but never las IL seemed) because
she herself felt tired Even In so complex an
effort as visit to picture gallery implies, she
could continue for hours at the same pitch of
earnest interest and outweary strong men. Nor
was this mere habit of passive receptvity In the
intervals between her successive compositions her
mind was always tusing and combining its
fresh stores and had her life been prolonged 1t is
probable that she would have produced work at
least equal in merit to anything which she had
already achieved. may perhaps be allowed to
illustrate what has here been snid by q few words
to the occupations of her last days on earth On
the Friday night before her death Mrs. Cross wit
messed representation Of the "Agamemnon." in
Greek, by oxford undergraduates and came back
fired with the old words, thus heard anew and
planning to read through the Greek dramatists
again with her husband. On Saturday she went
as usual to the concert of classical music, and
there, 1t seems, she caught the fatal chill. That
evening she played through on the piano much
of the music which had been performed in the
and rendered especially her favorite, Schubert
with rare delicacy of touch and feeling. And
thus, as her malady deepened, her mind could
still respond to the old trains of thought and emo
tion, till, all unexpectedly to herself and those
sciousness from which she woke on earth no more.

EATING BEFORE SLEEPING.
An Oid.Tlme Rule Reversed by nu Adyo-
cate Of late Suppers.


Man is the only animal that can be
taught to sleep quietly on an empty stomach. Tho
brute creation resent all efforts TO coax them to
such violation OF the laws of nature. The lion
In the forest until he has found his prey and
when he has devoured 1t ho sleeps over until ho
needs another meal The horse will paw all night
in the stable and the pig will squeal in the pen,
refusing all rest or sleep until they are fed. The
animals which chew the cud have their own pro-
vision for late meal just before dropping Off to
their nightly slumbers, Man can train himselfto
the habit of sleeping without preceding meal,
but only after long years practice. As he comes
into the world nature Is too strong for him. and he
must be fed before he will sleep. A chds stomach

disturbs IT, sleep follows naturally and inevitably.

its stomach is completely filled with whole

adults long hours alter partaking of food, and
when the stomach is nearly or quito empty, is not
after the type ofinianilc repose. There is all the
difference In the world between the sleep of re-
freshment and the sleep of exhaustion. 10 sleep
well the blood that swells the veins in the head
during our busy hours must flow back, leaving u
grently diminished volume behind the brow that

well this blood is needed at the stomach and
nearer the fountains fife II is fact established
beyond the possibility of contradiction that sleep
aids Digestion and that the process of digestion Is
conducive to refreshing sleep. 1t needs no argu-
ment to convince us of this mutual relation. The
drowsiness which always follows the well ordered
meal is itself testimony of nature to this inter
dependence.-Ne York Journal qf Commerce.

The widow of "Jim" " Fisk, Jr

Few of the friends that were wont to
surround Colonel jim" Fisk In his palmy days
seem to remember that their idol LEFT loving
wife, and that his wife is dependent for the bare
necessities oflife upon the bounty of sister who
is by no means wealthy, That the wife OF a man
whose estate at his death known to be valued at
S8 100000 should be thus situated will be regarded
with incredulity In his will Fisk, Rfler bequeath-
ing various sums to needy friends and relatives

to term the labor of love" Of managing
his wife's large interest he appointed US

for years, and who owed to him that vast fortune
with which he Is now enabled TO control railroads
