THE PORCUPlNe'S DIET.
The Only Living Thing That Eats the
Foliage of the Hemlock.

"You don't have to skirmish around
much to get feed to fatten one of these
hemlock porcupines on" says an old
Potter county woodman. Just sprinkle
some salt over stick of cordwood, or
a sawiog for that matter, and he'll eat
the whole business, and enjoy it like
you would mince pie"
The usual diet of these animals,
though, is hemlOck browse, says the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. They
make themselves home in hollow
log, or under the roots of some old
tree, but always in reach of q big hem
lock. The hemlock is their pasture,
and they make beaten paths going to
and fro between the tree and their
home The porcupine climbs the tree
as readily as squirrel would, pro-
vided you don't slip up and cut his
tail OF while he is going up. Some
how or other he can't climb a tree
without a tail, nor will he come down
without it.
If yCu can catch one of these porcu
pines elm bing a tree and chop off his
tail close he will stop right where he
is and Will stay there until he starves
to death, unless he is taken away.
Once up tree the porcupine goes out
on the big limbs and, pulling the small
branches in with one paw, browses on
the pungent leaves. In going through
the woods you will find little piles of
these fine leaves on the ground under
hemlock trees. That means that a
porcupine is feeding in the tree. the
leaves on the ground being dropped
from his feast. Sometimes porcu-
pine will remain in a hemlock tree
week at time, hugging close to the
trunk at night and feeding during the
day. This curious little beast is the
only known living thing that eats the
foliage of the hemlock.

Edison's First Venture in TeIegraphy

At this time be made his second
venture into the journalistic field by
the publication of newspaper called
Paul .'ry. 1t was more ambitious
publication than the Herald, and had
a host of contributors and large sub
scription list Its fate, however, was
scarcely less disastrous than that of
its predecessor. A contributed article
gave Otfense to a subscriber, who,
meeting the editor-in-chief on the
banks of the St. Clair, deliberately
pitched him into the river.
His success in telegraphing the war;
column early impressed young Edison
with the power of telegraphy. His
curiosity on that subject was thence
forth Unsuitable. He read everything
on electricity that he could get; he be-
sieged the telegraph offices and the
railroad shops along the line, and was
the terror of the engineers; and he
never failed TO BEG for ride on the
engine, where he frequently made
mischief by trying to solve for himself
the why and wherefore of the steam
horses construction.
In the telegraph offices he could see
tIIN Sb' WIN Ibo Sol'l'VS' LlllO anu dSiIi.
and hear the click of the sounder; but
whence came the magical power? De-
termined to find out for himself, he
constructed a short line from his lab
oratOry to the residence of his Young
assistant and chum James Ward.
Common stoyepipe wire, insulated
with bottles placed on nails driven in
to trees (and carried under an exposed
road by means of piece of abandoned
cable lished up from the Detroit River),
was the equipment used. The young
ster had seen sparks emitted from a
eats back. Judging that there must
be good battery where the indications
were so strong, he inserted a eat in the
circuit, using the fore and hind feet as
electrodes.
The cOnnectiOn made, he tried to
start the electric current bv rubbing
the eats back. Despite the animals
telephone resentment of the liberty
taken, the experiment was not without
success. A tremendous local current
and perfect electric arc were produced,
attended by considerable disturbance;
but as the battery would not work, she
line was soon abandoned.- 81. Nicholas.

Duciing Is No Joke.

It is great mistake to imagine that
casualties are the exception to Euro
pean meetings on the field of honor,
says the ST. Louis RepubLic. On the
contrary, they constitute the rule,
their average amounting to, as high as
80 per cent of the ducls fought in Ger
many, Australia. Italy. Russia, Bel
eium. Holland and Spain. while in
France the average Is only about 40
per cent. There were 1000 duels
fought during the year 1899, in which
700 men were killed outright, 1000
sustained dangerous wounds which in
many cases re@ted fatally. while no
less than 4.SJ0 of the remaining COM
batantS received minor injuries. That
is to say, ont OF 5000 principals in
1000 duels only 1.4)0 escaped without
harm. The average is nearly identi-
cal in the other countries above named,
these figures being based on official
records. From this it will be seen, ex-
cept perhaps in France, the chances of
escaping scatheless from 4 duel are
relatively very small.
Another diSagreeable consideration
of the affair of honor" is the knowl-
edge that, instead of getting hurt or
killed yourself. you may have the mis-
fortune to inllict a mortal wound upon
your adversary. in which case the tri.
bunals of the country will generally
sentence YOU to term of several
months Imprisonment and to pay
heavy damages to the relatives OF the
dead n1au.

Only woman's love. lost on a heart of stone;

CENSUS OF INSECTS.
Two Hundred Thousand Species Known
and Over a Million in Existence.

The great majority of persons have
no idea of the numerous and singular
forms of insects, writes W. j, Fox in
the POpuldr Science Monthly. They are
called bugs" by most people. yet not
one tenth of their mum Der are really
bugs. These latter are Gassed by
themselves and are called HemipterG.
Beetles are not bugs, being totally diff
ferent things, and form what are
known as the C0le0ptera. which means
sheath-wing, because of the two large
plates on the back that cover the true
wings. which consist of thin mem
brane. These covers are called elytra.
The butterflies and moths forms an
other one of these orders, being called
LCpidopterd. or Scale-wing, on account
OF the tinv scales with which the wings
are covered.
No doubt many Of the readers Of this
article have noticed the powdery sub
stance which comes off butterfly or
moth on handling ii. These are the
scales. and, should any reader possess
a microscope and place the wing or
part Of one under 1t. | think he will
be repaid for his trouble. The dragon
dies" and "dCvil's needles form the
order Neur0pterG. which means VEIN
winged. So it is with the flies and
the bees. wasps, and ants. the flies be-
inc called Dtptera. i. e.. two winged,
and the bees, waSpS, and ants, Hy-
mcH0pteTa, or mountaineering.
Ii will probably be SAID by some that
ants have no wings; but this is only
the case with what are called neuters
or workers. the males and females be-
inc provided with wings. The total
number of different kinds of insects
that are known at present is over 200,-
/ 600. of which beetles alone mum Der
12O. 000-thiS being about twice as
many as all the other known animals
together. 1t is estimated that the
actual number of different kinds of
insects in the world is over LOCO, 900.

years later, liver complaint, and the calo-
mel taken to cure it, fastened upon the
walls and organs of my chest, a rheumatic
affection from which 1 was never wholly
free and at times even a breath was
cruelty. Yet, in general way. my health

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Oliver Wendell Holmes was born at
Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 90, 1862 He
graduated at Harvard college in 1929 and
began the study of law, which he soon
abandoned for that of medicine After
taking his degree of M. d. he spent some
time in the hospitals in Paris and other
Eurpean countries He returned to Bos-
ton in 1886 and began pract:cing. In 1888
we was elected professor of anatomy and
philosophy in Dartmouth college and in
1S48 was elected to a similar professorship
In the medical school of Harvard univer-
sity, from which he retired in 1852 But
it is chiefly as a writer that DR.. Holmes is
known, as early as 1881, his contributions
appearing in various periodicals, and his
reputation as a poet was established by
the delivery of metrical essay entitled
Poetry" which was followed h- DINERS
in rapid succession. In 1857 he began in
The Atlantic Monthly a series of articles
under the title of "The Autocrat of the
Breakfast Table" which were followed in
1860 by the poet at the Breakfast; Table"
and ln 1885 by ..'The Newport Folio.'' AS
q writer of song, lyrics and poems for fes-
tive occasions, he has long occupied the
first place. The latter years of his life
pave been spent in quiet retirement at
Beverly Farms, broken occasionally by a
lecture to the Harvard students.

Audience.
ST. PAUL, Oct. Ex-Governor William
Mckinley arrived in this city at 7:l0
p. m. from Des Moines. He was
accompanied by the reception commit
tee, headed by Ex-Governor Merriam,
which met the Mckinley train at
Mason City Junction Early in the
evening there was torchlight process
sion in which the governor himself
participated. The procession was one
of the largest ever seen in St. Paul,
over 5000 people being in line, and ex-
tending over mile and a half After
traversing the principal streets ranks
were broken at the Auditorium. Here
an audience of 10000 people were as
sembled to listen to the apostle of pro-
lection. At the close of the address at
the Auditorium the governor addressed
an overflow meeting at Market hall,
after which an informal reception was
given at the residence of Ex-Governor
Merriam. Governor Mckinley was the
guest of the evening, and the gentle
men of the city and the visiting Repub-
icans were afforded an opportunity to
meet him informally.
