The latest bit OF news for those who
like to know all about insects concerns
the lantern fly. The reputation OF this
fly has been simply dreadful. In the
first place its name is against it. Think
of a thing called the ''gitirana boia.'
Then it was said TO lie able to kill any
living thing by means Of a long poison
Gus beak, pro ecting from Its large head.
Monkeys struck by the fly were seen to
fall stone dead TO the ground. Cattle
were killed IN Brazil by the pest, and a
child at Para, stung by the lantern fly,
died a few days afterward in great
agony.
So much for the insects reputation.

Brooklyn's Two famous preachers
Beecher and Talmadge, illustrate the
two extremes OF methods in the max
ing Of sermons. One is Il highly emo
tional orator, and the other lacks that
quality altogether. Which is which,
II would be hard for tho uniformed
auditor TO tell. Each speaks with no
other notes than a little card of mem
oranda, or, at most, a single page of
paper containing reminders. Their
style is extemporaneous
Nevertheless. one writes out his dis
courses in full, and then memories

would have to guess which lie is, until
told Inat he is Talmagc. As he stands

platform Of his tabernacle, speaking in

never for a word, lie seems q wonder OF

memorizing powers of actors. The
longest part of any plai now in use is
that OF hamlct, in which the number Of
words is just about equal to n Talmage
sermon. and what tragedian would un-
dertake 10 commit such Il role to mem
DRY IN a week. Besides the actors task
is greatly simplifei by the breaking up
OF his part into dialogue.
cry few stage performers are quick
in their study. We often hear OF some
body being notified in the afternoon of
the incapacitating illness Of an actor,
and taking his place in the play salts
fa%ctorily at night. but in these IN
nouncements a trick is played on the
public, for the substitute is what they
call an understudy-that is, some one,
usually a minor member of the same
company. who perfccts himself in the
more important role so as TO be ready
for an emergency, Talmagc beats them
all for memory.
Reecher works only under the inciic
ment of an audience at his front Tie
spends considerable time in thoughtand
reading. but scarcely any in the actual
preparation OF sermons. Having hit
upon a topic, perhaps as late AK satnr

awhile in his mind, OTIS down the bare
heads of the forthcoming sermon. and
that is all.
