By counting and noting every night for the past five years the beats of his own pulse and tabulating the results he is enabled to draw curves showing re- markable but normal variations at differ ent periods of the year.

Leaf and Stick Insects.
gram

The leaf insect and the walking stick
insect are curious creatures. All of the
family to which they belong are noctur-
nal in habit, and spend their days rest
ing on bushes the leaves of which form
their food. They so resemble the leaves
and twigs as to escape all but the
very keenest observation. In the leaf
insect, the head and thorax form a stalk,
while the abdomen, which is fiat, thin,
and much dilated, exactly resembles a
leaf. The six legs have broad, mem
branous appendages on the upper part,
which are especially noticeable on the
fore-legs; so that the creature while rest
ing has the appearance of a leaf that has
been gnawed on both sides by caterpil
lar. While the color Of the insect varies at
different periods of its life, it always more
or less resembles leaf at some stage;
when settled on the leaves and eating at
them, its body becomes bright green.
After death it becomes brown like dry
leaf. The stick insects are common in
the tropics, which are the principal hab-
itat of the leaf insects, and are also found
in temperate regions, including the
United States. The tropical species are
the largest, some of them reaching nine
or ten inches in length. They are
Matched from the egg in form closely
resembling that of their parents, coming
into the world with three pair of legs,
which keep their shape with but little, if
any, alteration during their entire exist
ence, and which are all walking limbs.
At all stages of their life they closely re-
semble sticks and twigs, either green
and growing, or brown and withered,
from which they obtain their name,
They are also called specters, from Their
skeleton like appearance and their slow,
stealthy movements. A colony of these
insects in the London Geological Gardens
is breeding prosperously.

SIR PATIENCE.

His good right hand may hold no sword,
No cauberk on his breast,
No shield he bears to guard and ward,
No helm with plumed crest,
Silent be stands unfettered, free;
And he my chosen knight shall be.
His tireless feet have found path.
Where warriors dared not stand,
Through wilderness and wild mems WRATH,
Across the desert land,
Enduring ills so cheerfully,
That he my chosen knight shall be.
The cruel cold to him is naught,
Nor sultry sun at noon,
Wild tides and tempests, terror fraught,
Sing him a soothing tune.
This soldier, standing sturdily,
My valiant chosen knight shall be.
Fierce Zeal his brother wrought him wrong,
His friends forgot him quite;
The rich, the great the proud, the strong,
All heaped on him their spite;
He smiled, and served them faithfully;
This loyal knight my knight shall be.
And little children hold his hand,
And mothers, weary-eyed;
The hungry poor throughout the land,
And those that starving died,
Knew him as friend, Familiarity.
Their friend my chosen knight shall be.
And ignorance, and shame, and sin
Do him no hurt nor scath;
Nor foulest fiends with all their din
Can vex his quiet path;
Walking and talking graciously.
This gentle knight my knight shall be.
For he hath slain my deadly foe
That wrought me only shame;
Fearless he fought the fiends below
And gained a glorious name,
Doing and daring doughtily;
And he my knight of knights shall be.
And on his mouth my kiss shall rest
When that good day shall come
That we are wed. / love him best
And he will lead me home.
o good Sir Patience come for me,
For none but thou my knight shall be.

POOR ROBBER!
BY OCTAVE THANET.

Harry always wants his aunt Alice to
tell HIM "truly true story" So one
night she told him this ''truly true
story"
$50 many years ago that grandma's
grandma couldn't remember it, when
people were still writing sixteen at the
right of their figures for the year and all
the big men wore short trousers like lit
tie boys, with swords dangling about
their legs; and there were no railways,
no telegraph wires, no steam engines,
and carriages were so heavy and clumsy
that people were carried about the streets
in covered chairs by men, and forks
were only used by rich people, and
witches could be burned al1ye-long,
long ago, two hundred years ago, there
was Scottish knight who had brave
daughter. The knights name was Sir
John Cochrane, and the girls name was
Griselda, but he always called her Grizzly.
Grizzly was the best and most dating
rider in all the country.
''Now, at this time the King was a
cruel man, and to escape his vengeance
Sir John had fed across the seas. Fool
ishly he came back, with the Earl OF
Argyle, and they tried to make the Duke
of Monmouth King instead of James.
That is how it came to pass that one
morning Grizzly looked through the
funny little panes of window glass in a
Highland castle and saw the stone court
yard below swarming with armed men,
all in their Highland kits"
"Why, did big men wear kits, them"
said Harry.
eyes, dear" said his aunt, ''but not
quite like your kits; they were shorter
and made out of plaided wool, and their
stockings (Which they called 'trews)
were plaided also"
"Oh, l know" said Harry, "Willy
Grant has Highland clothes; and he has
a white skin purse and a dagger, not a
real dagger, but mako-believe dag
GER
''But the Highlanders had real daggers
-dirl1s they called them-stuck in their
belts. Aud they carried huge swords
which they called claymores, and a round
shield which they called buckler."
Didn't they carry any guns?" asked
Harry eagerly, 81 should think the other
soldiers would shoot them all dead be-
fore they could get up to cut with their
swords
"Oh, yes, they carried guns" said
aunt Alice, laughing, "but they always
threw their guns away"
''Then what was the good of them?"
said shrewd little Harry.
"Oh, dare say they got them again,
after the battle. You see this was the
way the ,,Higblanders fought-They fired
off their guns, with more noise than hurt,
most likely, then they yelled 'Claymorer
and charged like herd of wild bulls.
And so frightful was this mass of furious
men with their swords, and so difficult
was it, in those days, with their lumber
ing, awkward guns, to fix the bayonet in
time to fight, that often the Lowland in
tantry were panic stricken and fed, pell
naell!"
';Wasn't Grizzly frightened, when she
saw all those fierce men?"
sob, no; because they loved her father,
and she knew they would do no harm.
Sho laughed to hear the bagpipes' shrill
notes and the mems shouts, and swung
back the window and leaned out to see.
DOUBTLESS she felt proud of her hand

sues the corporation for $1,000 damages, tho re-
suit of sitting down upon tack The statomont
which Mr.. Kramer makes concerning the casualty

tack was simple but effective. Mr.. Kramer went
into the Car and sat right down upon the tack.
he probably got right up sgain, although this
fact is not mentioned in the court statement. but
the damage had been done. The wound he suf-
fered led to sbscesses. The tack could not have
been on the ordinary carpet variety, as it pro-
truded up through the bottom of the seat, and
protruded very badly at that. Mr.. Kramer did
not give the number of the car IN his statement,
and, therefore, there is nc means Of knowing
whether that particular tack has been driven back
