Walking Leaves, Sticks, Etc.

Initiative forms in nature are too we'll
known and have been written on too
often to require any special notice here.
Natures law, being almost universal as
far as the protection OF the weak
creature is concerned, it is not at all
wonderful, perhaps, that she has formed
insects into perfect cpunterparts of how-
ers, leaves, sticks, etc. Some OF the
"Nalking leaves those which are ma.
tives of India, Chiua aud Japan in par
ticular, are large, groteslue looking
creatures, their resemblance being strik-
ingly like bundle of yellow twigs
Joined together with faded, macerated
leaves. The limbs of this species of in.
sect are long, slender and very twiglike,
the coloring being suited to that partic.
ular species of vegetation upon which
the deceptive mimicker subsists.
The walking stiok," like the walk.
ing leaf, is also very deceptive, as fa- as
looks 90. The males have small, slender
bodies, the legs or arms starting from it
Just as smaller limbs of a tree or wood
start from larger ones.
The "valking thorn' OF Java belongs
to this curious order of insects, as de
also the "devl's horse and the mautis.
The walking thorn" looks exactly like
the large compound spine of our com
mon honey locust tree, even in color aud
general contour.-St. Louis Republic.

WISE WORDS.

Prejudice is bias independent of the
facts.
He who cares not to return may go
anywhere.
The fop finds his beautifei vision in a
looking glass.
The body may be clean but the soul
alone can be pure.
The concensus of the science in cen.
trail and superior whole is philosophy.
Inspiration is the experimentation Of
the original act which created the man.
The apt use of symbols is the great
art for ruling the operations of human
brains.
Symbolism Is the translation of the
language OF one kingdom Of being into
that of another.
In the recoil Of our own spirit and the
returns of our own deeds, Nemesis is
perpetua!ly born.
The merely surprising surprises but a
few times; the intrinsically admirable is
ever more and more admired.
BE not plant wax for outward circum.
stances to seal. Make your own thought
the mold, your own will the stamp of
your life.
= Would you make conquests of mani
Win his heart and you will win his
mind. Would you make conquest OF
womanl Take her mind and you will
win her heart.
Human life is a play, consisting
many different scenes; and those who
are in the world as spectators often
understand the plot and the characters
better than those who are there as
actors.
Philosophy enriched by history and
animated by poetry and applied by hu-
mainly to the inner life is religious. The
cold forms of science and philosophy,
illuminated with duty and warmed and
filled with love, bloom into religion.

An Eel-IIuatins D0s.

An Irish setter dog, owned in Noank,
few weeks ago surprised his master by
appearing by his side when near the
Noank Ice Coupany's pond with large
eel in his mouth. The incident lei to
the suspicion that he had taken Al eel
from the pile OF some fishermen along
the shore of the pond, and no notice
was taken o. it. Pretty spo1 he ap.
peared with another gooi-siz,l ee IN
his mouth, aud the way ia which he
came by this eel became cause OF in-
auiry. The owner thought. that ho
would follow the deg and see whose
cells he was stealing. Tne dog seemed
pleased to have the attention Of his owner
and ran to part Of the shore OF the
pond that was not frozen aud along
which large quantities OF dried leaves
were pac6ei la tue water. He ran along
the edge OF the leaves, aud in moment
or two made u snap at so nething In
them aud brought forth another large
eel. His owner then explored the spot
with stick and found that the eels
were huddled there to lcther in mass
passing the winter. Ho called the at
tention of an acquaintance to the fact
aud he proposed to see how many cells
we're beneath the leaves. Having no
eel-spear he procured an ordinary pitch
fork and proceeded to throw the cells
out. Toe number astouuded him, aud
when counted they were found to be
nineteen dozen, or 22S els.--Norwicb

There is u Turkish legend to the fol-
lowing effect: When Solomon was rul-
ing on earth, the angel Gabriel was sent
to him one day with goblet filled with
the water of life and bearing from on
high the message that il he choose
he might drink of the water
and become immortal. Calling
together all his wise counselors, he
asked their advice. They, with one
consent, advised him to drink and live
forever. Then lie summoned the birds
of the air and the beasts OF the field, and
all of them gave the same advice, with
one solitary exception. This was the
hedgehog. Approaching the throne,
and bending its brow to the ground,
thus did it speak "If this water may be
shared by thee with thy kith and kin,
then drink and enjoy the. bliss of living.
But il it is intended for thee alone, then
do not drink. For sad would it be for
thee to live on but to see thy kiusmen
aud friends one after the other disap-
pear" "True are thy words, o hedge
uog, replied the king. "To me alone
has the water been sent. AS thou hast
counseled, so will l decide" Thus
spoke Solomon; and the water OF life
did he not drink.

fore. 1t was done with wonderful ex.
pertness. As the $4,000 certificate paid
in Canada was genuine, the bank was
compelled to stand the loss.
But an even shrewder piece OF
criminality than this, aud one which
banks or business men any where IN this
country may suffer from, has recently
been discovered. A man having every
appearance of the habit aud life oil
gentleman and business man with
letters of introduction, called at
country bank in New York State, saying
that he had a considerable number oil
small obligations to meet and that lie de
sired to buy bank drafts on New YORK.
He bought number, most oil them ior
less than $50 in amount. Some wee%s
later this bank began to receive thest
drafts, aud discovered that the amounts
upon them did not agree with theii
books. Not the slightest indication OF
change was apparent to the eye.
Chemical treatment revealed no alter;
alton, and yet it was certain that the
criminal, being skilled in chemistry, had
altered the figures. 1t was his method
not to increase the amount very greatly.
A S16 draft he made $3.50. Small
amounts like these would not tend to
create suspicion, aud such drafts cocld
be easily negotiated. As the bank could
not prove forgery or alteration, it was
compelled to pay the drafts. More than
one case of this kind has occurred with
in the past year, but bank officers being
extremely sensitive, they have paid the
losses, which have not aggregated very
large amounts, and kept quiet.

Immediately adjoining.
No one was hurt at the fire. The loss was
large. The factory vas Tiled with tons OF
tobacco, raw and manufactured. The Dig

and 100 on Thirty-eighth street, with an l.
- feet deep In the rear.
About 800 persons, three-quarters OF
