Al INTELLIGENT BEETLE.
It Would Come at the Sound of It's Cap
tors Voice and Would Caress Her.

Something over year since a young
lady of my acquaintance had an expe-
rience with beetle. which, | think,
showed very marked degree of intel
ligcnce in the insect, and, as such in
stances are somewhat rare, | venture
to send you an account of 1t.
This beetle was a specimen OF Pettd-
1a0t0 punctdta Linn, which was given
TO her in September. At first she kept
it in a small box, feeding it with
grass, leaves and small pieces of fruits,
such as peaches, pears, etc. Occasion
ally she would give it n drop of water
to sip. 1t would sometimes bite lit
tie out of leaf, would eat the fruits,
and would take water eagerly.
From the first she would take the
insect in her fingers several times a
day and stroke or caress it, also put
ting it to her lips and talking to 1t all
the while she handled it. When she
put it to her lips it would brush its
antennH over them with gentle, ca
ressing motion.
When she left her room she would
shut the "buggie" UP in its box. One
dav, about two weeks after she re-
ceiyed it, she was called out suddenly
and neglected this precaution. She
was absent considerable length of
time, and when she returned the in
sect was not in its box nor anywhere
to be seen. Fearing that she might
iniure it, she stood still and called
"buggie, buggie," when it came crawl
ing from its retreat toward her.
After this, she would frequently
leave it free in the room when she
went out, and when she returned, il
the insect was not in sight, she would
call it.and it would crawl or fly to her.
As this was continued, it would more
and more frequently fly to her instead
of crawling, until at last it flew nearly
every time it was called. When it
came in this way she would put it to
her lips or to her nose, and the insect
would appear to be pleased, moving
| its antenaI gently over her lips, or
| taking the end Of her nose between
them and touching it with patting
| motion.
| She kept it in her room in this way,
| at tho hotel where she was spending
the summer. until about the 1st of No
| vember. She then returned to her
| home, some 800 miles further south,
| taking the insect with her. Here she
at first kept it in her cham Der, but the
| nights being sometimes very cool it
1 would become torpid. and not get
| lively again until afternoon. Think
! irg it too cool for "buEgie" there, she
removed it to the kitchen. As it still
appeared more or less dormant. she
put it on cloth above the hot-water
boiler. Here it revived somewhat, but
was not very lively. nor did it eat very
/ nuch.
About the middle of December it
| fell to the floor accidentally. hy which
fall it was evidently injured. as after
that time it would eat nothing, and no
longer recognized the young lady.
About q week later it died. Science.

Snubbed the Prince.

In spite of the privacy which Tenny-
son maintained many are the anecdotes
of him or of his household.
1t is told that once a certain famous
prince of the house of Hanover, famil-
lar with the poets shrinking habits,
yet anxious to pay his respects to him,
found himself near Tennyson's home
in the Isle of Wight. The prince
called, unaccompanied and strictly in
cognito. a page came to the door.
"Whom shall | say?"
THE prince of Wales" was the re-
ply.
Whereupon the page, performing a
gesture somewhat similar to ele de-
scribed by Tennyson as performed by
Lynette-in other words, putting his
dexter thumb to nose "tiptilted like
the petal of a tiower"-playfully OBJ
served:
"Ha. yes: prince of Wales; we know
a trick worth two of that" and he
slammed the door in the face of his
royal highnesS.

with his honor. On the way over to
kern's, Carter suggested that they 60
to lunch together every day. Hi pay
one day and you pay the next, said
the mayor. The comptroller assented.
When ordering lunch Harrison was
conservative. He took cut of roast

matched dollars to see who would pay
for the first meal under the joint-lunch
scheme. Harrison lost.

troller visited Kern's again. 'What'll
you have, Carter? said Schwab, who
felt that he was the host, as it was his
day to pay. Carter scanned the bill of
fare, smacked his lips and said to the
waiter: Gimme some turtle soup,
red snapper, teal duck, celery sauce,
radishes, vegetables and bottle Of

Schwab, with a sigh that seemed to
come from the region of his trousers
pocket. 1t was good meal and
Schwab paid 1915 for it.
"The next day it was Carter's treat.
Hardly had he and Schwab landed in
their chairs at the table than the
mayor, ignoring bill of fare, gave his
order to the garcon: Gimme corn
beef sandwich and a snit. I'm not
hungry to-day he added, addressing
his comptroller.

turn to put up the coin Carter had
rayenous appetite. One day Carter
went into Schwabs Office at noon, only
to find the comptroller 'gone-to
