SOME QUEER BUGS.
The Egyptian scarabaeus, Death Watched
nd


As is well-known, the scarbnus or
beetle was worshiped by the ancient
Egyptians and was considered sacred to
various deities. 1t was represented on
monuments, in hieroglyphic writing and
engraved on royal escutcheons. Earth
ern images of IL as we'll as of other an
imal forms, were entombed along with
mummies to keep evil spirits from the
dead. Its figure was cut in gems and
worn in jewelry as a talisman to keep
the wearer from harm. The insect
was embalmed after death and given
honorable burial. Engraven on the
emerald the scarabaus was n remedy
against witchcraft and headache, and
quite likely also to bring its possessor
into favor with the king.
1t is not surprising to find that the
curious insect known as the FREELY has
been regarded with superstitious awe
by various savage tribes. The natives
of West India and other warm coun-
tries however, are said to put the flies
to "a very practical use. They cap
ture them in large numbers, and
putting them in cages of wire
twenty or thirty together, keep them
alive by feeding them and using them
at night to light their houses and save
candles. If the light grows dim the
insects are wet and their cage shaken
up, causing them to shine brightly
again. The ladies pin large numbers
of these creatures, alive, to ballroom
dresses and wear them as ornaments.
The little insect known as the "death-
watch is very common pest OF Ii
braries and frequently perforates large
volumes with straight, tiny holes. It's
presence in house is supposed to por-
tend an early death to some of the in
mates. Watchers by sick-beds and suf-
fering patients have been so terrified
by the uncanny ticking sound, heard
in the silence of the night, that nothing
could convince them that the death
angel was not almost in their presence.
If there were anything in the supersti-
tion, those whose dwellings are old
would lead but brief and uncomfortable
lives, for it is frequently the case dur
this insect can be heard at almost any
hour of the day and night in all parts
OF the house.
The earwig, a small winged insect.
commonly found in moist earth and
damp places in England, is another
harmless creature which has got hard
name through no fault Of its own. AL
though there is no authentic cases on
record of this insect injuring any hui
man being, there is a widespread popu-
lar belief that it only watches for an
opportunity to creep into the ear of Il
sleeping person, destroy his hearing
and drive him to madness, if not to
death. In America the animal known
as the earwig is a creeping, crawling.
many-legged worm, called by scientists
n ''myriadodous crustacean," a name
which is fully rs long and as ugly as
any specimen of the earwig tribe.
Thousands OF people believe that this
animal also has a habit of investigating
the anatomy OF the human ear, though
those who profess to know say he is
perfectly innocent of any thing of the
kind. Boston Herald.

Shrewd Advertisers.

Readers of the newspapers of the day
cannot fail to be impressed with the fact
that the modern advertiser is progressive.
He is compelled TO be, else competitors
more active in the invention of new adver-
tising devices, will outstrip him in public
favor.
The value of printers ink judiciously
and scientifically employed cannot be over
estimated; it is the medium whereby q
mertorious discovery is raised from local
fame to position in the public esteem.
Hence the columns of the newspapers are
daily used by hosts of advertisers and in
the competition which is indulged in to at
tain the desired end the reader is often
times amused.
The greatest of American advertisers,
and it may as well be said in the world, is
II. II. Warner, of Rochester, N. ", whose
name has been made everywhere familiar
in connection with Warmers Safe Cure,
widely advertised because of its merit in
the prevention and cure of kidney diseases
Byprinter's ink this great discovery has
achieved worldwide popularity and thou
sands feel grateful for the knowledge thus
acquired of this greatest OF modern rene
dies.
Furthermore, the public has been taught
that disorders of the lungs, brain, heart and
liver which have hitherto been regarded
and treated by the profession as distinctive
diseases are not so in fact, but are the at
tending symptoms of disease of the kid
neys; therefore, the consumptive, the apo
plectic, the paralytic, and the sufferer
from nervous disorders can be restored to
health by Warmers Safe Cure, which will
remove the true cause of those disorders
by restoring the kidneys TO healthy action.
The advertising methods employed by
this greatest of advertisers are invariably
instructive and, although the reader may
sometimes be ''caught" in reading an ad-
vertisement, which was not at first supposed
to be such, there is nevertheless no time
lost since useful information is invariably
gained concerning lifes great problem.

A Self Winding Clock.

The New Haven Clock
after a year or two of experiment, has
at last perfected q piece Of mechanism
which, if it does not realize the desire
for perpetual motion, seems at least to
be a step in that direction. They are
now manufacturing and about to put
on the market a self-winding clock.
The motive power is furnished by cleo
tricity generated by two Leclanche
cells, which do the work effectually
for from twelve to eighteen months
without renewal. The mechanism is
simple in the extreme. Much of the
ordinary clock is omitted, and little
remains ave the escapement wheel.
The clock is wound every hour by q
current from the two cells of the bat
terry, working through q pair of mag
nets. The main wheel, which re~volves
once an hour, connects the current at
every revolution, When the contact
is first made and the current passes
through the magnets the armature is
pulled down to the magnet heads,
drawing with it on arm which winds
one tooth of the rachel wheel which is
fastened to the box containing q spring
of the finest steel attached to the
center pinion. This operation Is re-
peated for five or six seconds at the
rate of three blows a second until the
spring is wound and the current is cut
off by the passage around the main

LATE EVENTS IN BOTH DAKOTAs.
An Immediate Bsnea. From tn. Sioux Bill

An Immediate Benefit From the Sioux Bill.
The settlers On the Grow Creek and Win
nebago reservations are greatly benefited
by the acceptance of the Sioux bill by the
Indians. All northwestern people will re-
call to mind the rush that took place when
these lands were opened to settlement by
proclamation in the spring of 1885. Feb
ruary q. 1886. President Arthur issued a
proclamation declaring these lands upon
the market. The proclamation had been
anticipated. and at the time it was issued
hundreds of people began q wild scramble
for the choice quarter sections in the rcser-
walton. The land is situated on the east
bank of the Missouri river and adjoins
Chamberlain on the north. In a short time
nearly all the available lane had been taken,
and every preparation was made for putting
in crops. April, 18th, of the same year,
President Cleveland. acting on the decision
of Acknowledgement Garland. who claimed
the land was illegally opened. issued q proc
lamation withdrawing the lane from the
market and ordering those who had already
located thereon to AGATE ut once or be re-
moved by the military. Some obeyed the
order and left as soon as possible. but the
greater number. having no place to go to.
refused to leave. A body of Indian police
were detailed to remove them. but the set
tiers were determined not to vacate, and
after n or two Intellectual attempts to re-
move them the police received orders to
withdraw. since which time the settlers
have never been interfered with. The set
tiers have sent numerous petitions to the
authorities at Washington. asking that
something be done SO they could Secure
titles to their and and obtain schools and
other necessities which are denied them.
In answer to their repeated prayers. a
clause was inserted in the bill now accepted
by the Indians. and the settlers will get the
relief they have long demanded.

Tho Governor Made a Mistake,

It is now given out at Bismarck that the
recent letter Of instructions to county aud
itors throughout North Dakota, sent out by
Gov. Mellettc. in which a county judge was
included in the list of officers to be elected
on October 1, was a mistake. 1t ought to be
understood positively that no county officers
are to be elected at the October elections
except clerk of court. There are no county
judges to be elected, and county commits
n are elected at the usual time in
November. The attorney general has given
his opinion in the matter. n there is no
question about it. The constitution is def
mite on this point. Gov. Mellette probably
had in mind the provision in tho South

The Sugar Trust Getting shakv.

1t is reported from New York that
rumors recently prevailing about the
issues of new securities by the sugar
trust and the continued decline in the
price of raw sugar in the London market
appear to have struck terror into the
hearts of small holders, and as a result
the price of certificates dropped rapidly
from 102s, at which they closed the night,
before to 974. About 1000 shares were
sold. On reaching 97a there was more
support extended and u recovery to 80
cents took place. During the decline the
crowd of brokers dealing in c~ertitica es
was the largest since they were put on the
market. Much anxiety was apparently
felt with regard to the future of the market
for these and other trust securities. Cables
from London report the market for raw
sugar there as weak and declining. Beet
sugar, which a short time ago was quoted
at 29 shillings 6 pence, is down to 10
shillings. In the same period the price of
sugar certificates has declined from $1.2S,
to-day's figures, to 97a cents.
