When Mr.. Julius l.. Brown was in
Mexico he was talking with Colonel
Foster, of the Mexican army, and one
of ex-President Gonzalez's most init
mate friends, The Colonel said
"Did you ever see any of our cater
pillars P"
Mr.. Brown replied that he had not,
and asked what distinguished them.
1--WE have caterpillar in the State
of Michoacan that supplies the missing
link between the vegetable and the
animal world. We bury the live cat
erpillar in the ground. A plant springs
from this body which produces red
flowers. These flowers, instead of
making seed, reproduce a caterpillar.
Now mark the process. We plant the
animal and produce the vegetable
The vegetable flowers, and in turn pro-
duces.an animal. From the caterpil-
lar comes the plant. The plant in turn
produces from its red flowers the cater
pillar"
Mr.. Brown insisted that the cater
pillar was joke. The Colonel there
upon called gentleman from Mich
oacan, whose name Mr. Brown does
not recall, and without telling the story
asked him about the caterpillar of his
State. He repeated the story as the
Colonel had told it. and asserted upon
his solemn word of honor that it was
true, and that he had seen the cater
pillar buried and the plant produced,
and the caterpillar reproduced repeat
edly.
Mr.. Brown afterward saw General
Ocho, General Pemho, president of the
Mexican Senate, and Mr.. Francisco
Blanco, trading Mexican and partner
of General Pombo, and they all told
him the same story, assuring him of its
truth.
Mr.. Brown is of scientific turn, and
has scientists incredulity. The evil
dent good faith of these disting uished
Mexicans impressed him. however, and
he investigated the matter thoroughly,
He found scores of witnesses who
swore in the most positive manner to
the truth of the story ~ Y. Star.

work TO the language and texts for
hundreds of books since. He showed
that at the rate of usual increase the
world would soon be so crowded that
starvation must certainly ensue. He
illustrated his theory by the increase
of rabbits, showing how soon they
would destroy every green thing from
off the face of the earth. This was
long before the rabbits proved his
theory in Australia. But this author
showed how the natural increase
of population was held in
check by war, disease, famine,
pestilence, flood and other natur-
al causes. His theory has received
new illustration in the crowded old
empire of China recently. People die
there by crowds. Only the other day
four thousand were swept away in try
ing to construct dam against the
flood of Yellow river. A disaster in
China is not worthy of mention unless
several hundred are killed. Recently
ship went down with seven hundred
on board. About one hundred were
killed in a mine explosion at Vancou-
yer a short time ago. Evidently the
great law of Nautilus is operating. In
China even the rivers are crowded with
an amphibious population. Little gar
dens are titled on the river craft.
Every foot of land is utilized, and
every ounce of any thing that can be
used as a fertilizer. The Chinese are
pouring out in swarms over all the
islands of the Pacific, over South
America, over the East Indian Islands,
and now they threaten North Ameri-
ca Great as was the destruction of life
in the late flood, it will soon not be
noticed in any appreciable decrease of
population. The Chinese increase like
the locusts. and the death of few
millions does not diminish the tide or
its effects. More of them die than of
any other people, because more OF
them live; but the same mysterious
law that causes more boys to be born
after great war than girls will dimin-
ish the Chinese population to a proper
ratio with the means Of subsistence.
1t will not be necessary to introduce a
microbe among them, as Pasteur pro-
poses with the rabbits of Australia, to
keep them from devouring the earth.

TEARS.

My love's gray eyes were like the winter sea-
Aud like the sea were full OF briny mist;
For, oh, I'd pressed her cheek in sad farewell
Aud tears o'erran the place where had
kissed.
No words could tell the depth of that deep
woe,
But silence held us as the tears ran down
From meath the curtains OF her downcast
eyes,
And O. er the soft folds OF her wedding-gown.
And my faint heart was burdened with its
fears
To think left my own dear love in tears
My loves bright eyes were like the summer
sea,
And damp with tears as seas are wet with
foam,
For, oh, across the long, white sands she came
TO give me greeting and welcome home!
No words alone could measure all her joy,
But tears came like sudden bright sun
shower
And washed the sorrow from TIL uplitted eyes
AS rain-drops drench the dust from of the
flower,
Aud my glad heart was lightened OF its fears
Whsn once again found my love in tears

1T may be further explained to the
gentle reader that she had taken a
seat on our knee and was trying to
feed us gum-drops. We repulsed her
gently, but with Roman firmness. We
were telling her that we did not intend
TO marry until the Kicker had secured
weekly circulation of five thousand
copies, when she threw her arms
around our neck, plowed her nose
along our check and into our ear, and
said her heart was breaking. Old jim,
who had been in ambush i'm the other
room. rushed in at that moment and
swore we had been trifling with Ho-
nora's affections. We gently denied
it. He said we'd got to marry her or
fill an honored grave. We declined
both honors. Honora began to below
and declared she'd die if we gave her
the shake but the editor of the Kicker
wasn't rocked in q Eastwood cradle.
We arose to terminate the painful in
terview, and were assaulted by both
father and offspring.

scended to the level of old Jim Pol

fiery furnace without the loss of prin-
ciple, These are the brief facts. Old
Jim Polhemus may lug himself around
from pillar to pot-house and tell new
lie at every stopping-place, but he can't
hurt us any. Honora may call us an

MILLIONS DROWNED.
Catastrophe Which Seems to Prove
the Great Law of Nautilus.

A Catastrophe Which Seems to Prove
the Great Law of Nautilus.
One estimate of the number of per-
sons drowned by the late great flood in
China is 100000. This is made by
English residents in China who have
access to the best sources of informa-
ton. If this is any where near the
truth the destruction of life by one
disaster is unexampled in historic
times. The number lost is greater
than the population of Ireland to-day.
1t is about double that of the inhabit-
ants of the continent of Australia. 1t
is greater than the population of our
country some years after the adoption
OF our constitution. 1t is larger than
the population of Indiana and Illinois
now.
Nobody knows how many people
there are in China The number has
been estimated from 200, 900, 000 to
400. 600, 600. and the population has
long pressed upon the means of sub
sisteaee. Over seventy years ago an

MEETING THE EMPEROR.
An English Ladys Pleasant Adventure in
st. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg.
The following pretty story is told of
a meeting between Alexander l., En-
peror of Russia, and an English lady.
Till the more recent times of Nihilism,
the Emperors have been accustomed to
walk unattended in the grounds of
TZarskoe Selo, one of the imperial
palaces. Something of the size of these
magnificent grounds may be inferred
from the fact that six hundred garden
ers are employed there. An English
lady was walking with some friends in
these gardens, when two dogs, run
ming by the side of a gentleman at a
little distance, came toward her, and
gave her fright. Their master called
them away ana then came up, bowed
and apologized, and was going to walk
on. when she, being n stranger and
anxious to know the names of the vari-
Gus buildings in sight, detained him to
ask few questions.
He told her the names and HISTORY of
the various monuments. and was again
about to withdraw. when she said:
"But want most OF all to see the EN-
peror. Where am likely to do sop
"Oh, you are certain to see him soon
enough. madam" he said. with smile.
HE often walks here" and, bowling,
he retired into a neighboring shrub
berry.
A little further on the lady met a
court official, and inquired who the
officer was. She described his dogs
and said that he was deaf.
THAT was the Emperor" the officer
replied. 81 saw him myself a few
minutes ago. Yosth's Companion

DON'T KNOW ENOUGH TO VOTE.
One Case Where the Woman Was the
Wisest.

Acorrespondent of the San Francisco
Call points out the Inconsistency of
denying suffrage to the most intelligent
women on the ground that "women
don't know enough to vote, y while the
most ignorant mes are freely well
coined at the ballot-box. She illus
trates this by scene that actually
took place between an excellent and
highly-educated woman, wife of q
prominent Congressman and sister of
former Governor of California, and
her illiterate coachman:
sit happened that on one election
day, as she was preparing to go down
town, it occurred to her to ask her
driver if he was voter. Yes he re-
piled, 'he was one. Was he regis
teredP' Yes We'll. would he like
to vote?' On the whole he thought he
would like to do so. Very well; while
they were out she would see to it that
he had an opportunity. The man did
not know where his polling-place was;
but, learning where he had registered,
she succeeded in locating the particular
saloon where the ballot-box was, and
waited in the carriage on the opposite
side of the street while her coachman
exercised his manly prerogative. He
wished to vote certain ticket, and she
had the precaution to instruct him to
bring his ticket to her before casting his
vote. Soon he emerged from the vot-
ing-place, and, crossing the street,
brought her the straight opposition
ticket. He was much surprised to
learn that this was not the ticket he
wanted. He had been assured that it
was. She sent him back for another
set, and, after some little time and a
good deal of trouble, for the man had
no idea who the candidates were, she
succeeded in getting full set of the
tickets, which she sent him to deposit
in the box. Il could not vote myself,
was her comment, but could at least
see that he voted as he wanted to-
But for her intervention he would have
voted directly against his own wishes.
