AN INTELLIGENT BEETLE.
1t Would Come at the Sound of Its
Owners Voice.


Something over year since young lady
OF my acquaintance had an experience with
beetle which. / think, showed a very
marked degree Of intelligence in the insect,
and, as such instances are somewhat rare,
L venture to send you an account of it.
This beetle was specimen of Pelldnota
punctnra Linn. which was given to her in
September. At first she kept it in small
box. feeding it with grass. leaves and small
pieces Of fruits, such rs peaches. pears, etc.
Occasionally she would give it drop of
water to sip. 1t would sometimes bite
little 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 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 antenu@ over them with gentle, caress-
ing motion.
When she left the room she would shut
the "buggie" up In its box One day, about
two weeks after she received it, she was
called out suddenly and neglected this pre-
caution. She was absent considerable
length Of time. and when she returned the
insect was not in its box nor anywhere 10 be
seen. Fearing that she might injure it, she
stood still and called "buggie, bugge.

LINCOLN AND SUMNER.
The Student of Books and the Student
of Men

OF Men.
Marquis de Chambrun In Scrlbner's.
On the day following we had left Rich
mond and joined Mr.. Lincoln at the head
quarters. l was then at leisure to observe
closely the existing relations between these
two men, SO different in origin and educa-
cation. who represented opinions and con-
victions so distinctly apart and who. not
withstanding. had found themselves bound
to one another by the ties Of similar
political faith. Their natures so straight
forward. their unquestionable honesty, the
true patriotism which guided both, seemed
a sort Of platform upon which they natur-
ally met. They were. therefore, made to
appreciate one another.
But, on the other hand, it must be ad-
mitted that their two minds were scarcely
intended to agree. Mr.. Sumner took pleas
ure In mentioning that he had studied in the
Summa of St. Thomas. / DO not know II
it was from that source that he had derived
bis reasoning methods; IL is true, however,
that In many respects his mind had been
accustomed TO the argumentative process oil
the Sch0lastcs. Mr.. Sumner reasoned as
reasons professor OF theology. From the
DAYS of his youth he had felt that he had a
calling In life; that he would devote his
existence to opposing injustice everywhere.
In contrast to this character so marked,
this nature SO vigorous, to this scholar so
formed by the most profound studies, stood
Mr.. Lincoln. the man Of the people. OF the

when it came crawling from its retreat

wuen lt came craving 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 n OF 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 il was called. When it
came in this way she would put 1t to her
lips or her nose, and the insect would ap-
pear to be pleased, moving its antenn@
gently over her lips, or taking the end of
her nose between them and touching it
with a patting motion.
She kept 1t in the room in this way at the
hotel where she was spending the summer
until about the 1st of November. She then
returned to her home. some 800 miles further
south, taxing the insect with her. Here she
at first kept il IN her chamber, but the
nights being sometimes very cool il would
become torpid and not get lively again until
afternoon. Thinking it too cool for bug
gle" there she removed it to the kitchen.
AS il still appeared more or less dormant
she put 1t on a cloth above the hot-w ater
boiler. Here it revived somewhat but was
not very lively, nor did it eat much.
About the middle of December it fell to
the floor accidentally, by which fall it was
evidently injured. as after that time it would
eat nothing and no longer recognized the
young lady About week later it died.

A Modern Method of Drying Shoes,
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The ola method of drying shoes that have
been saturated with moisture by filing them
with hot bran or oats has rendered good
service in lis day, but the arch innovator,
electricity, now points to better way.
An ineandescent lamp can be put into
each shoe at bedtime, and the degree
of heat that is safe and sufficient for
the drying required can be regulated
for certain length of time, at the ex-
piraton of which the current will be cut off
automatically and the light extinguished
An electrical journal suggests that this is
the best known way of warming shoes on a
cold winters morning. and recommends

Keeping Iron and Steel From Rusting.
st. Louis Globe Demo,

A simple method of keeping iron and
steel from rusting is to coat them with a
solution Of rubber in benzel made about tho
consistency OF cream. 1t may be applied
with brush and easily rubbed off when
desired. A coating of more use where the
"toota' impaired by rubber would be dis
advantageous is prepared by dissoving two
parts OF crystals of chloride of iron, two of
anthony chloride and one of tannn in four
of water. Apply with a sponge or rag and
allow to dry. AS many coats can be given
as are deemed necessary. When dry it is
washed with water, again allowed 20 dry
and polished with linseed oil. The anti
mony solution should be as nearly neutral
as possible,
