IniIlC MYTHOLOGY;

A sort of mythology has grown up
about the American Indian in regions
whence he vanished 10) years ago.
The popular names OF many plants
include the adjective Indian. Few
persons in America say Indian corn
now, but Indian cakes is term still
strongly intrenched south Of Mason
and Dixon's line, and there is even a
plant known to children as Indian
tobacco The brilliant Gamma is
called Indian shot because its seeds
are black, bullet-like pellets Indian
traditions are preserved with sort
of reverence in the South. Twenty
five years ago local travellers on a
certain road in Worcester county,
Maryland, commonly stopped at a
point in the remote country, reached
under bush at the roadside, drew
forth stone mortar and pestle used
by the Indians 100 years before,
showed the relics to any stranger in
the company and carefully put them
back. A whole neighborhood knew
the whereabouts of these instruments,
but they seemed as safe rs in a
museum

A TRAINED BEETLE.
His Bugship Knew His Owner and
Would Answer Her Call.


would Answer Her Call.
Something over year since q
young lady Of my acquaintance had
an experience with beetle, which. /
think, showed very marked degree
Of intelligence in tho insect, and, as
such instances are somewhat rare,
venture to send you an account Of it.
This beetle was specimen of Pelid-
nota punctala Linn, which was given
to her in September, says Science.
At first she kept it in small box,
feeding it with grass, leaves and
small pieces offruit, such as peaches,
pears, ETC., Occasionally she would
give 1t q drop OF water to sip, 1t
would sometimes bite little out Of
leaf, would eat the fruit and would
take water eagerly.
From the first she could take the
insect in her fingers several times
day and stroke or caress it, also
putting 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 antenna over them with a
gentle, caressing motion.
When she left her room she would
shut her "buggie" up in its box.
One day, about two weeks after she
received it, she was called out sud
denly and neglected this precaution.
She was absent a considerable length
! of time, and when she returned the
insect was not in it's box nor any
where to be seen. Fearing that she
might injure it, she stood still and
called: "Buggie, buggie," when it
came crawling from it's retreat to-
ward her.
After this she would frequently
leave it free in the room when she
went out and when she returned If
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 to her 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 it's antenne
gently over her lips, or taking. the
end of her nose gently between them
and touching it with q patting
motion.
She kept it in her room this way at
the hotel where she was spending the
summer, until about November !.
She then returned to her home,
some 800 miles further South, taking
the insect with her. Here she at
first kept it in her chamber, but the
nights being sometimes very cool, 1t
would become torpid and not get
lively again till afternoon. Think
ing it too cool for "buggie" there.
she removed it to the kitchen.
As it appeared more or less dor
mant, she put it on cloth above the
hot-water boiler Here it revived
somewhat, but was not very lively,
nor did it eat very much.
About the middle of December ii
fell to the floor accidentally, By
which fall it was evidently injured,
as after that time it would eat moth
ing and no longer recognized the
young lady. About week later it

'.Now, my dear" she mildly urged,

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est, most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lghtest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most dgestible and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble? 49,
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.
