A THOUSAND DOLLAR MOTH,

By No Means Striking I'm Appearance
The Only One Ever Found.
1t is by no means the most beautiful
or striking in color, for it is painted, as
you may say, in a single color of grayish
brown, though in many, many tints of
that color. Its form is the more wonder
full, for ats secondary or hinder wings
reach back into long tails an eighth of
an inch wide and over four inches long,
so that the insect measures about seven
inches from head to tip of tails, and be-
tween four and five inches across. 1t is
of the general shape Of what is known
as our luna moth, the large, greenish
white-tailed moth; but in the luna the
tails are only two inches long. do not
think any other moth or butterfly has so
great eccentricity of form. But the
most wonderful thing of all is that it is
the only insect of the kind ever found.
Thirteen years ago q son of Professor
Meyer caught it in a barber shop in Rio
Janeiro, into which it had flown during
tho evening. He sent it to his father,
who had been collector for many years
When the box containing it was opened,
and the great entomologist dropped his
eyes upon it, he almost tainted with de-
light, and at once was offered 800
for it.
The news of the discovery of it spread
rapidly everywhere among collectors,
and dilligent search has been made ever
since to find another of its kind, but in
vain. 1t stands alone, perhaps the last
of an almost extinct species, but surely
the only one that rests in air on entomol-
ogist's pin. This fact that it defies dupl-
cation, together with its kingly form, will
help to remove the shudder that passes
over you as you hear its name, Jehovah
for by this name the princely insect is
known among Observation-Disclosures Je-
hovah. 1t should be stated, however.
that its happy owner did not intend Civ
ing it this name, but somehow the real
name, Jupiter, was changed into Jehovah
when it was being catalogued, and SO il
has remained.
1t is hard to place value upon this
precious insect, for DIR. Meyer values it
almost as his own life; but have been
told $1,000 would not induce him to part
with it. We can believe this when We
are told that kind of beetle found il,
the west was sold, for several years at
800 a specimen. Professor Meyers en-
tire collection is valued at $40, COCOON.

Mine host Dougan of the hotel Jerome,
at Sheepshead Bay, is not only typical
boniface, but devoted archeologist as
well. He spends most of his spare time
exploring the Long Island creeks and
bays for relics of the lost races that once
peopled their banks, and he tells me that
he has discovered beyond a per-adventare
that the Long Island Indians were mas
tiers of the art of clam-baking centuries
ago. Near Sheepshead is one creek
which is banked and bottomed with tons
of clam and oyster shells, whose friabil-
ity shows them to have been subjected
to the action of heat. From this he
argues that they were once roasted, and
there was none but the Indian to roast
them. Consequently the Indian must
have been clam baker. There is an in
calculable mine of this shelly debris,
which is now being dug up
for road-building. His discovery goes
far to confirm the theory of an old
local historian used to know at South
ampton, who claimed to have ascer-
tanned that Long Island was once a sort
of annual rendezvous for all the Atlantic
tribes of Indians, who made pilgrimage
there, camped along the sheltered bays
and mlets' of the south shore, and ate
shell-fish and pow-wowed, arranged
treaties and declared war, just as con-
gress of the civilized nations does to- day

Tradition of the Beaver Tribe.

It is only in tradition that the history
eof the Indian lives, and only one version
of the story is ever Leard. Sometimes
doubt can be found. Such is the fol-
lowing chapter from the annals of the
Beaver tribe, which lives in the northern
siiart of the British possessions.
>-One day a young chief shot his arrow
through dog belonging to another
brave. The brave revenged the death of
his dog, and instantly hundred bows
were drawn. Ere night had fallen some
eighty warriors lay dead around the
. camp, the pine woods rang with the
! Lamentations of the women, the tribe
had lost its bravest men. There was a
temporary truce; the friends of the chief
whose arrow had killed the dog yet num-
bered some sixty people; it was agreed
that they should separate from the tribe,
and seek their fortune in.the vast wilder
ness lying to the south. 81, 49, -
In the night they began their march;
sullenly their brethren saw them depart
never to return. They went their way
by the shores of the Lesser Slave Lake,
towards the grea. plains which were said
to be far southwark by the banks of the
swift-rolling Saskatchewan.
The tribe Beavers never saw again this
exiled band, but 100 years later a
Beaver Indian who followed the for
tunes of white fur-hunter, found him
self in one of the forts of the Saskatche-
wan. Strange Indians were camped
about the palisades; they were portions
of the great Blackfeet tribe whose hunt
ing grounds lay south of the Saskatche-
wan Among them were few braves
who, when they conyersed together,
spoke a language different from that of
the other Blackfeet; in this language the
Beaver Indian recognized his own
tongue.-Youth's Companions.

Very Much Related to ROYALTY.

The duke of Braganza, heir to the
Portuguese crown, is related to an un-
usual number of royal families. He is
nephew of King Humbert of Italy, and
also of the Princess Clotilde, and there
fore cousin of Prince Victor Napoleon.
His grandmother, Maria da Gloria, was
niece of the second wife of Napoleon
Bonaparte. His grandfather, Dom Fer.
nando, was cousin of Queen Victoria;
and thus the young man may claim re-
:ationship to the royal families of Eng
land and Belgium, and all the connec>
lions of the prolific Saxe-Coburg- Gotha
tribe. He is, moreover, granddaughter OF
Dom Pedro of Brazil, and thus related to
the Neapolitan Bourbons. And now he
is about to marry into the Orleans family.

Birds Actually Killed by Har.hnsss.

The Boston Journal says: ut Is we'll
known that birds are very sensitive -
tones of the voice, and are terrified al
any loud, angry words. A lady who
wished to make bobolink stop singing
at last scolded it in a loud voice, and
then took up scarf and shook it in re-
buke at the Gagged bird. In a moment
the bird was still, and short time after
made fiuttering about the stage. Its
owner turned to the bird and was shocked
to see it fall dead. Unkind words had
killed it." We know of two cases SINH
lar to this. In one case a canary bird
and in the other a hooking bird, died
within five minutes after being spoken
to in violent, angry tone.-Our Dumb

One of the chaoEels Through Which
Disease Ma. be Disseminated.
In the numerous speculat;ons as to the
variety Of ways and channels through
which the germs Of contagious disease
may BE- disseminated, there is one to
which but little or no Importance has
thus far been attached, but which, never.
theless, probably plays an important role.
We refer to that universal circulating
medium-money. 1t passes impartially
from the hand of the millionaire into
that Of the beggar, constantly circulating

without the slightest symptoms of dis
gust, or perhaps without giving it
Thought, money that has thousands Of
times passed through hands or reposed
in pockets whose contact he would deem
to be pollution.
In respect to the dangers that may
arise from this cause, paper money is
undoubtedly more to be feared than
coin, and the indescribably filthy APP
Qearance Of much Of that which is seen
in circulation is familiar to all who read
this. That the handling Of such nasty

the banks and issuing new ones IN their
stead were practiced with US, though
even this would only to some extent
lessen and not do away with the danger.
But though paper currency is the most
to be feared Oh the score of communicate
Sng disease, coin is by no means free
from danger of the same kind. 1t has
been shown that the blacklist coating,
which may be seen in the recessas and
in the milled edges OF coins that have
been in circulation for short time, con-
sists of organic filth which when intro
duced into distilled water and examined
under the microscope was found to be
swarming with bacteria and fungi.
We are not sanguine enough to expect
that our readers shah decline to touch or
handle the stuff, for the reasons here
pointed out, but we can not refrain from
uttering our protest against the unutter-
able nastiaess. of which many persons
are guilty who would feel themselves
deeply insnlted at any insinuation Of a
lack of refinement or good breeding, Of
placing paper currency or coin III the
mouth for temporary convenience, while
making change or the like. The most
disgusting habit is, singularly enough,
confined almost exclusively to woman
kind, and is an act of thoughtlessness
which, if any who read this ever prac-
ticed, we feel sure they will never DO
again. Manufactured and Builder.

Happiness of an American Farmer

European writers are constantly mysti-

North American continent. NJ. Hip
polyte Taine, the French lSacaulay, once
contrasted the misery Of a Paris slum
alley drudge with the happiness Of an
American farmer grazing his herds in
the palms groves shading the banks of the
Ohio. Now a German enthusiast extols
Milwaukee as that "beauteous lake city
in the latitude of Venice" suggesting
orange gardens and Venetian nights. 1t

for the thousands of Scandinavians who
seem to feel at home on the prairies OF
