Swiss Beetles.

The commonest insects in Switzer-
land are the beetles, as to which
some very interesting facts arc to be
noted. It is found that the higher
up the mountains one goes, the flesh
eating beetles increase in number,
whilst the grain eating beetles de-
crease. Again, in the lower regions
many of them possess wings, that on
the higher Alps are wingless-a pro-
vision of natures to prevent them
from rising into the regions of per-
petual snow, where they would most
certainly cease to exist. Difference
of height, too, gives rise to CORE
spending difference in coloring: In
the plains and lower districts they
are brilliantly colored, but in tho
higher ranges their colors become
black Or quite dark. This is ex-
plalncd by the fact that the beetles
of the lofty regions have to pass
most of their existence in darkness,
away from the coloring influence Of
sun and light.

nm man of more

courage, and yet that was certainly
the opinion held by the majority of
his friends, including some not likely
to be imposed on by bounce or Drag
gadocio. He was not man given to
that general and indiscriminate rowdi-
ness which possesses many whose
natural ardor is depressed by polite
conventions; though he occasionally
got into trouble in the street, he was
never, in consequence, escorted to a
police station; and if he did acl1nowl-
edge a certain liking for boxing, NO
one had ever seen him with the gloves
on. Nor had he ever shown any signs
of an adventurous spirit. He had en-
and stayed there without complaint;
he never had the gold or diamond or
colonial fever; instead of going ber-
rserk, he evidently preferred frock
coat and patent feathers. But in
spite of this he was credited with a
courage .out of the common. 1t arose
and invested him like myth.

walked well. His walk might have
accounted for his regulations; there
was a solidity about it that made

of it all Nred Cusack had very serious
doubt if he had amy courage at all.
It had never been tested.
For some reason not easy to dis
cover he was more popular with the
young men than young women. Per
haps his bearing gave the more
cautious marriage candidates an nu'
easy notion of his fickleness; he might
love and ride away. His one fairly
intimate friend of the other sex was a
Mrs. Emerson, whose husband was a
sleeping partner in the firm of Cusacl
& Co., and spent most of his time il
his club, the Junior Carlton; having
been a hard worker up to 40, he pro
posed to take his ease when he mar
ried atNthat age. He was 50 and hi
wife was 20 or 20.

surface even yet.
''It is q magnificent subject, and II IL

"Then why not do it?" And Mabel
spoke as one inspired, her ignorance OF
petty details giving her the necessary
courage, and as the artist looked back
at her in surprise; George is not TO

He is victim Of over anxiety, and-his

And straightway was the bargain

one OF the finest sights they had ever
enjoyed, when Eversleigh and Mabel
together confronted the arch plotter
Farrell and saw his discontinue before

sooner was he able TO hear that and the
other good news-that their estrange-
