without its leader. Even the First
fiddle must observe the baton. And as
the insect world affords us veritable
fiddler and harpist- as we'll as other
instrumcntalists, SO too may we find
our precentor close at hand, if our
eyes are only sharp enough. This group
of singing beetles upon the poplar
branch. wonder if they are watching
him as they nod their squeaky trio?
For he is close at hand. Even among
these very leaves we are sure to find
him with little search. But if they
are indeed observing him, he must be a
decidedly confusing leader, for no two
of the bobbing heads are keeping the
same time. All! here he is! perched
upon the midstem Of an aspen leaf close
by. You have seen him perhaps hum
dred times, and all his pompous pride
has been wasted on you, being doubtless
mistaken for part of withered or
curled leaf Our precentor is about an
inch and quarter long. The forepart
of his body is arched upward like 8
sphinx. He wears q green vest and a
fat triangular hat, and white bor-
dered brown mantle decorates his back.
And his baton? No wonder our beetle
trio were confused, for our precentor
wields two batons. He is law unto
himself, hes no score to follow, and,
what is more, if things don't 60 exactly
to suit him, he whips out from the tips
of his batons two long red whip lashes.
and makes things lively for few mo-
ments.
1t is difficult to understand the many
impetUous antics of our eccentric pre-
centor squirming from side to side,
circling his double baton about his
head as with a hurrah, swapping his
whip on right and left'without rhyme or
reason. Yes, as a precen tor it is diff
cult to understand his doings. But
when we return to reason, and remem-
Der that he is only an important puss-
moth caterpillar, it is not half so mys-
terious If we watch and wait for a
moment or two, we shall doubtless wit
ness return of that buzzing dy-a par
asite, perhaps-that has just been tick
ling him.
The puss-moth caterpillar is quite
common upon young aspens. and will
be readily recognized from my descrip-
tion. 1t is an amusing insect, and, SO
far as l have seen, those peculiar rosy
whip-lashes concealed within tho forked
tail, to be used when occasion demands,
are not described in the popular works
on natural history. William Hamilton

Presently the figure stole out through
the door, and went swiftly down the
hall, till another open door was reached.
OF course l followed, quito puzzled
and interested.
The night-prowler entered the room,
and knelt beside Walter Goodale's bed.
What was he about to do? Commit a
murder? l was on the point Of SPRING
ing forward, when the ghostly form lay
fiat on the carpet, and seemed to be
reaching for something.
"Ahi ! have it now"
When the form would have risen, I
sprang forward, and landed astride its
back.
Hello! What the deucew
l scratched match and held it close
to tho face of my prisoner. 1t was Wal
ter Goodale! After q moment got up
and lit the gas.
The young man looked sheepish
enough as he stared at mo, then at his
single garment
What tho deuce does it mean, Deer
ing?" said he. "Am l dreaming, or did
l fall out of bed?"
Neither" said /. What have you
in your hand, Mr. Goodale%'
"Eh? In my hand?"
He lifted his right hand, and opened
it from glittering object.
"Well, by the powersl" exclaimed the
young man; 'it's the stolen idol"
YES" said l, land you are the thief,
Walter Goodale."
A look Of blank dismay covered the
face Of the young man. He admitted
that he was somnambulist, that it was
family trait, and that even his aunt
was addicted to it.
OF this latter fact was we'll aware,
since she, too. had been out tonight on
walk, and was even now i'll Jessie's
room, where we found her later in the
girls bedt soundly sleeping.
The stolen idol had been tucked
under the carpet beneath Walters bed.
He had stolen the idol, but 1 believe
Mrs. Goodale had secretcd her ring in
Jessies trunk while on one of her noe
turnal jaunts.
Miss Darling never returned as Mrs.
Goodale's maid, but, some time later, as
the wife Of the man who stole the Indian
idol.-Yankee Blade.

THE STOLEN IDOL.
Searching for a Midnight Prowler
in Ohio.

"Its shame, Mr.. Deering. a blessed
shame that my aunt should accuse Jessie
Darling OF theft How could she do
such thing?"
The young man who stood before me
was hot with Indignation, and from his
words and actions at once OWNED :iIe
truth that he was very far from indif-
ferent to Miss Darling.
smiled little at the young mans
enthusiastic defense of his aunt's maid.
WAS the jcwelry lost by Mrs. Goodale
of much value?" questioned, after the
young man had told his story.
II don't believe it was; but you see,
it's an heirloom in tho family, and
therefore priced very highly" returned
Walter Goodale. "lt's hideous Indian
idol, made of gold and precious stones,
and has adorned my aunts dresser for
years innumerable. Jessie has been
with her year, and now, when the
hideous old idol disappears, my aunt flies
into u rage and at once accuses poor lit
tie Jessie of the theft. Aunt Selma is
q terror when she's enraged, and, WE'LL
/ wouldn't permit myself to stay and
hear Jessie traduced, so fled and came
to you, Mr.. Deering. You must find the
thief out and thus vindicate the poor
girl. I'll reward you handsomely for it,
if you succeed"
1t was in one of Ohio's smaller cities
that l was sojourning now, and for
some months | had been in the detective
work. l knew the Goodales, and Rad
seen Jessie Darling, whose sweet face
and blue eyes were very attractive.
understood we'll enough that Walter
was dead in love with his aunt's maid,
and also that the aun: was displeascd
at the outlook.
The first thought that dawned upon
my brain was that the old lady had con-
cocted little plot to disgrace the girl,
and thus break up the match that was
but forming. 1t pleased me to see the
young man so confident of Jessie's in
nocence, and was rather pleased than
otherwise to enter upon the unraveling
of the mystery.
l repaired at once to the house of
Mrs. Goodale. 1t was large, square
stone building Of ancient construction.
Mrs. Goodale was wealthy widow
with no children of her own, and her
orphan nephew, Walter, found an abode
with her.
When I reached the house found the
maid in the hall, with hat and shawl on,
about to leave the place. Tho girl was
pale, and l could see that she haG been
weeping.
II ought to put you in the hands of
an officer at once" declared Mrs.
Goodale.
You can find me at my mothers any
time" returned the girl, in shaking
voice, and then she turned and hurried
from the house, not looking toward me
as she passed. confronted tho widow,
and she uttered my name in glad sur
prise.
THE very man I wish to see." she
declared. 81 have been robbed, Mr..
Deering, and there goes the thief now,"

WITH BISHOP ASsuRY.
Pioneer Methodist Preachers Who wer,
witty as Well as Pious.

Pioneer Methodist Preachers Who Were
witty as Well as Pious.
Among Bishop Asbury's useful preach
ers was the Rev. Jesse Lee, a pioneer
Methodist in New England. AS he rode
out of Massachusetts town on Mon
day morning, having preached there
twice the day before, he was overtaken
by two lawyers. who. riding on either
side OF him, began to question him in a
fiippant way about his extemporaneous
manner of preaching.
One Of them said. "As you never write
your sermons, but speak off-hand, don't
you often make mistakes?"
"Sometimes," said Lee.
"What do you do then?" said the sprig
of the law.
The preacher, shrewdly suspecting the
occupation of the men who were trying
to make game of him, answered: 'If
the mistake is an important ono, al
ways correct it: if unimportant let it
pass For example, if / were quoting
the passage The devil is liar and by
. slip should say lawyer, should not
attempt to mend it."
81 wonder if the follow is knave or
sfool?" said one of the barristers to the
other.
"Judging from appearances, retorted
Lee, should say l am just between the
wo."
They spurred their horses and left
him to jog on alone.
On Sunday afternoon Mr.. Lee was
- ching in a country meeting house.
Nv weather was warm, and q number
Of persons remained in the yard enter
tanning themselves with talk which
could be heard through the open win
dows, while many of those in the con-
gregation were drowsy some fast
asleep. Rspping the book-board with
his fist, tho preacher, raising his voice.
said, "I will thank tho friends in the
yard not to speak SO loud; their talk
may disturb tho slumbers of the breth-
rem in the church"
There was no more conversation out
side nor sleeping inside the church that
afternoon.
Another Of Mr. Asbury's famous
preachers was the Rev. James Axley,
whose field of labor lay mostly in the
Southwest. He was one of the delegates
to general Conference which sat in
Baltimore about seventy years ago,
and was appointed to preach in church
in the city where the people had the
habit, when ther rose to sing, of turn
ing their backs TO the pulpit, and facing
the choir in tho front gallery. AXley
was amazed at tits breach of good man
ners, and as he read the next two lines
of the hymn (ths style in those days. he
turned his back to the congregation and
faced the wall. The singers in the gal
lery began to laugh, the people on the
floor turned to SEQ what was going on,
| and when the p'eacher knew that they
had all faced about, he exclaimed:
"Well what do you think of it? It's as
goodlooking back as yours, isn't it?''
The CATION in that church have
faced the pulpit ever since.-W. II. Mil
burn, in Harper's Magazine.

A MuCH-MARRIED MAN.
Ashantee's King Has Over Three Thou
sand Lawful Wives.

Polygamy is practiced to on extrava-
gent degree in Ashantee. The more
wixes man has the higher his social
Importance. The number which man
in private life may have is limited by
his ability to purchase and support
then, but the number of wives which
the King may have is limited by law
limited to the modest number OF 3, 333,
and it is said that he usually does not
exceed this limit.
1t any rate, he must have more wives
than any Of his subjects, or his respect
ability will suffer. The present King
actually has the 8, 333 wives and he has
600 children.
All the King has to do to got wife is
to choose any female he ploascs, no mat
ter how young she may bo. Girls are
often chosen when loss than ten years
old and in such cases they arc left with
their mothers until of mature age, at
which time they are taken to join the
rest Of the 1888.
No man is ever allowed to see any OF
the Kings wives, and should he oven
accidentally see one his punishment is
death. These wives during the work.
ing season attend to the Kings planta-
.ions, but the rest Of the time they live
at Coomasie, the Ashantee capital,
where they occupy two long streets.
When they go out for walk in a
body, as is often the case, they arc pre-
ceded by a number of eunuchs, who
herald their coming, that all men may
disappear and avoid looking upon them.
When this is impossible they must fall
upon their faces to the ground.
If q white man happens to be there,
and understands not the law, the
eunuchs turn his face away from the
advancing women.-Loudon News.

WORDS OF LOVE.

Why We Can BE Fearless!y FREQ In Our
Pleasant Utter noes.
A loving word Is always safe word.
1t may or may not be a helpful word to
the one who hears it, but it is sure to
be a pleasant memory to the one who
speaks it. Many word spoken by us
is afterwards regretted, but no word of
affectionate appreciation to which we
have given utterance finds place
among our sadly-remembered express
sions Looking back over our inter-
worker, we may, indeed, regret that we
were ever betrayed into a harsh, or
hasty, or unloving word of censure or
criticism in that intercourse, and we
may wish vainly that we had now the
privilege of saying all the loving words
that we might honestly have spoken
while yet he was with us. But there
a time single pang of regret over any
word OF impulsive or deliberate affec-
tion which passed our lips at any
time. We have reason to be on our
guard in our speech in most directions,
but we can be fearlessly free in our
loving utterances. Apart from any ques-
tion of the good we do to others by our
words of love, we are personally tho
gamers, for now and for hereafter, by
every such word which we speak out
explicitly; and we are sure to be the
losers, now and by and by, from every
such word which we ought to have
spoken and failed to speaks s. Times.

GRANDPA'S SoLILoQUY.

Two lived nigh on to ninety years, 'mong things
I've had TO learn
Was that pint Of human natur' that has done o
deal OF harm.
'Tis the master fault few preachers that in fact
have understood,
It's the taking up of evil, and forgetting OF the
good
I heard the vital questions agitated in their
day,
And five and thirty years ago sometimes had
my say,
And when the social evil was discussed in every
note that pint spoke of had got uncommon
sharp.
II there's one thing more'n another that makes
aman feel queer,
ably near.
No matter what you talk about he'll meet 1t
with groan,
And tell you OF his troubles in q cemetery tone.
He's allus blue as whetstones, and he's got a
load OF cares
That fits his skinny body closer than the clothes
he wears.
He is allus mighty sartin that his life Is almost
gone
Yet note this whining pessimist will live un-
common long.
lie is really begging pity, that's the secret of it
all,
And he seems to be the happiest when curses
thicl1est fall.
Blind as bat to blessings, and color-blind u
hope,
But he'll see the smallest evil without specks
or microscope.
And there never was an evil so feeble and SO
small
That this musty tombstone natur couldn't nuss
up rank and tall
And 1t Glanced to get away, or die for want OF
breath,
Then he'd have double sorrow a mourning
sorrows death.
Now, like the plucliy fellow who meets you
with smile,
Whose heart may be a smothering some trouble
all the while;
He can allus find q blessing where others see a
curse,
And he'll tell you all your trials might have
been a lcetlo worse.
Life has some heavy burdens-of course that
must be So
But il you've got little grit, twill help to ease
your woe,
And the time that's spent bewailing about "the
bitter cup"
You had better uso a reclonin' your many
blessings up
One thing I've learned for sartin-the pathway
will go bright
II you keep hopes candle burning the burdens
will grow light
If you don't cry over troubles long afore they
come aroun',
Eut keep busy hunting blessings, you never will
get down.
I've rved nigh on to ninety years had burdens
on the road,
Yet I've allus found some carrying a enough
sight heavier load.
One gift ia ask, were set back-not freedom
from all strife
But a lively 'preciation OF the good there is il

TIE AMERICAN NOMAO.
No Inducements are offered Man to
Stay at Home.

A curious outgrowth Of the rivalries
of American cities is the practice that
obtains SO generally Of offering bonuses
and pecuniary inducements to manu-
facturers to move their plants. After a
fire that burned down part OF sowing
machine factory the other day the own
ers received so many proposals from
aspiring cities that wanted to take them
in that they were obliged to publish
notice to the effect that only small
portion Of their works had boen burned,
and that they were not open to proposals
for adoption. Any factory or established
business employing labor can have its
choice nowadays from a long list of
cities, new and old, any Of which will
give it site for a factory, pay the OK
penses of moving, and perhaps con-
tribute substantially toward the con-
struction of a new building. Peo-
Pile who own land or are engaged
IN business in cities realize that it
pays them to have their cities grow,
and they are willing to hire desira-
BILE inhabitants to come to them.
They rely upon getting their money
back in the increased value Of land
or the general increase in business.
The result is that the migratory dispo-
sition already so pronounced in these
days is intensified, and it has become a
familiar thing not merely for individu-
ais to move but for great aggregations
of workingmen 10 shift the scene of
their activities from one city to another,
sometimes thousands of miles away.
Time was when where the average
man found himself living there he con-
tinued to live, unless circumstances of
exceptional urgency impelled him to
change his residence. 1t is different
now. Transportation has become so
cheap, and travel so easy, that the ties
of locality sit very lightly on the aver
age American, and the fact that you find
him settled this year in New York or
Pennsylvania affords you very uncer-
tain basis for expecting to find him next
year in tho same place. When you hear
Of him again, if he hasn't moved to
| Texas, or Tacoma, or Southern Cali
| fornia, or Maine, or North Dakota, you
| feel that he must have had some eX-
! ceptionally good reasons for staying at

Tho Flow of Metals.

In one OF his recent lectures in Lon
don, Prof Robert Austin spoke of eight
prominent points of resemblance be-
tween metals and fluids which are not
generally known. They are the re-
lection of impurities on qualification,
suffusion, flow under pressure, changes
due to compression, absorption of gases,
absorption of liquids, vaporization and
surface tension. OF these properties,
perhaps the most astonishing are those
exhibited by metals when compressed.
Placing cold, powdered metals in press,
Prof. Spring, of Llege, caused lead to
weld into solid mass by a pressure Of
1s tons per square inch; zinc by 10 tons;
tin, SO tons; antimony, 3S tons; alumni
mum, SO tons; biSmulh, 3S tons; copper,
IS tons. At 33 tons per square inch
lead actually began to flow, and at AZ
tons tin showed signs of the same tond.
ency When pressGre of more than
so tons to the square inch was given the
metals under experiment flowed through
the fine cracks in the press like so much
water Prof. Spring has also proven to
tho satisfaction of his companions that
the crystalline structure of metals may
be changed by pressure as by fusion,
and that it is even possible to build NJ
alloys by the same &gency.-St. Louis

TWO CHILDREN BURNED.

George Martins Baby Burned to Death
Also q Contractors Child.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. AT $50
O'Clock last night the house of George
Martin, a laborer residing at the corner
of Myrtle and Central streets in West
port, was destroyed by fire, MI. Mar
tins youngest child, a boy of four
months, periShing in the flames.
Mrs. Martin left her three
children in the house while she went
across the street, and while the
little ones were playing the stovepipe
set fire to the oiled paper on the walls.
|, The two elder children escaped, while
it was impossible to rescue the babe,
its body being frightfully burned. A
purse of 500 was made up for the I'M
fortunate family.
Katie Burns, the five-year-old daugh-
ter of W. J. Burns, a contractor living
at 3201 Main street, was burned to
death at her fathers home Tuesday
night. Mrs. Burns had left the house
for the purpose of milking the COW,
first cautioning the child to keep away
from the fire. A few moments later
she was Mortified to see the little one
rush screaming from the house, her
clothes all ablaze. The mother extin-
guished the flames as quickly as posi-
BILE, but the child had been so badly
burned about the back and neck that
its death occurred a few hours later,
about eleven o'clock.
