Caterpil1ars in BRIGHT Co1ors.

More than twenty-five years az.
Mr.. Alfred Russell Wallace predicted
that it would be found that brilliantly
colored and conspicuous caternillars
were not among the favorite food of
birds, although dull-looking caterpil-
lars are devoured by them with great
avidity. Various observations and ex-
perlments since then have tended to
confirm Mr.. Wallace's conclusion.
. His idea was that the bright colors
of certain caterpillars are the result
of natural selection, the caterpillars
that originally possessed such colors
having also possessed some peculiar
ity, such as the secretion of acrid
juices, which rendered them distaste-
full to the birds. AS the conspicu-
ously marked caterpillars were thus
let alone by their enemies they tend
ed to increase at the expense Of their
less brilliantly colored relatives.
Experiments have shown that birds
actually do avoid the bright-colored
caterpillars as rule. And this seems
almost to have become a second ma
ture, for jackdaw, which had been
raised in captivity, and had had no
experience in judging the edible quail
tiles of caterpillars, was observed to
regard the brilliant caterpillar of the
figure-of-eight moth with suspicion
and aversion, although it eagerly de-
vdured dull, plain caterpillers placed
within it's reach. When it was driven
by hunger to attack the other it finally
refused to eat it, giving plain evil
dence that there was something dis
tasteful about the prev.-Philadclphia

SOME HISTORIC WATCHES.

Time Keepers.

Mary of Scotland Had Several Grim
Time Keepers. -
Mary of Scotland had her watches.
In those days there was great variety
in the shape of the watch. a favorite
shape was that of 4 skull Anothe:
was that of 4 coffin. Descriptions ex-
ist of several of Mary's watches.
There was enc co1lin-shaped in Il
crystal case. There was another in
which cat-gut supplied the place of
the interior chain in the modern
watch. One very marvellous piece CT
workmanship in form of a skull is the
property of the Dick Lauder family.
1t vas originally the property of Mary.
Queen of Scots, and was beoueathed
to Mary Setoun, her maid of honor.
Feb. I. 1857. On the forehead of the
skull are the symbols of death, the
scythe and the hour glass. At the
back of the skull is Time, and at the
top Of the head are the Garden of
Eden and the Crucifxion. The watch
is opened by reversing the skull. In
side are the holy family, angels, and
shepherds with their flocks. The
works form the brains The dial plate
is the palate. Another skull-shaped
watch which belonged to Mary was
a gift from her husband. Francis II.
Arnold of the Strand presented George
I'LL, in 17G4, a watch of his manufac-
ture set in ring. Later, in ITO, he
presented the king with a small re-
peatlng watch also set in a ring, the
cylinder Of which was made of an
Oriental ruby The car of Russia.
when he heard of these mites of
watches, offered Arnold 1000 guineas

MILK AS A DIET.
a Physician Proves n Theory by u
Personal Experience.

"A Physfc1Hn Proves u Theory by u
Personal Experience.
A medical man expresses the belief
that a person could live for, any
length of time and take heavy exer-
else all the while on no other food
than sweet milk. His conviction is the
result of personal experiment. He
wanted to establish the fact that per-
sons conva]escing from sickness may
grow stronger with no other nourish-
meut than sweet milk, and they are
not obliged to take 'something solid"
to eat, as so many people imagine. He
holds that many a cOnvalescent has
gone into his grave as result OF over
taxing his weak stomach by putting
"'sOlid' food into it; and he maintains
that the old belief as to bread being
the first essential Of human life is
shown by his experiments to be errO-
neOus. His test was to live thirty days
with only sweet milk as a nourish-
ment. In the whole time he lost five
and half pounds in weight, but no
strength. He even attributes the loss
of weight to the warmth of the wealth
er and to excessive exercise on the BIZ
cycle and the daily manipulation Of
siXteen-pound dumb bells and other
heavy weights. He took more exer-
else than usual in order to test the
thing fairly. On the seventh day Of
the experiment he ran several foot
races with skillful runner and was
was beaten in each race. On the thir-
teenth day he again pitted himself
against the same runner and did the
best of the racing, which certainly
would tend to confirm his statement
that he lost no strength during the
thirty days test. He drank four pints
of milky daily during the last week
He thinks a healthy person should
take about five pints Of milk daily
when no other food is being taken.
His practice was to drink milk at in
tervals of two hours during the day,
commencing at Z o'clock in the morn
ing and continuing until 10 at night.
After that he would take no more un-
til next morning.-New York CONNER.

In Staffordshire and Shropshire they
have most extraordinary cure for
toOthache. The sufferer watches a
mole's run with spade and traps, and
as soon as he succeeds in capturing
one OF these reputed-eyeless little ami
male he cuts Off it's paw and quickly
applies it to the aching molar.
In order to make the cnre sure and
effective the paw must be amputated
while the mole is still alive; further
more, If the aching tooth is on the
right side of the jaw, d left hand mole
paw must be used, and vice versa.
