either. 1t was woman, of course,
and wore silk raiment and razzIe-

morning before dawn during last

a near cut. When he came near to
the crossing over Thirteenth street
he saw just short distance ahead
of him an elegantly dressed woman,
her clothing bedecked with silver
bangles set with dazzling brilliants.
The apparition would not allow a
near approach, as it faded out of
sight before he got to it.

Perhaps you would not think SO, but
a very large proportion OF diseases in
New York comes from carelessness
about catching cold" says DR.. Cyrus
Edison. sit is such a simple thing and
SO common that very few people, unless
it is a case OF pnumonia, pay any atten-
ton to a cold. There are a great many
cases of catarrh and consumption which
have their orgain in this neglect of the
simplest precaution OF every day life.
The most sensible advice is, when you
have one, get rid oft as soon as possible.
BY all means do not neglect it. Dr..

cold but well. Take Chamberlain S

Love-Making of Butterflies.
TDuI{u1

Just at the edge of the wood I saw two
beautiful butterflies poised above the flower
ing tops of some wild garlic, and l made a
mental note that the plants should add their
flavor to my prospective baked catfish These
butterflies were evidently lovers, so / stopped
to watch them. The female flew to the
ground, where she remained slowly waving
her beautiful wings up and down. The male
alighted on the ground in front of her at
distance of about foot and then approached
her, slowly and gracefully waving his wings
His walk was stilted and affected. When ne
came within three or four inches of her he ex-
banded his wings to their fullest extent, so
that she might see their beautiful markings
and colorings. Then quivering them rapidly,
so that they fairly glinted with all the colors
of the rainbow, he marched to and fro in
front of her. The female remained quiet and
Observant The courtship of butterflies gen
orally takes place in mid-air, the male cir

beneath her. | have often seen two and even
three males in pursuit of n single female
She seemed, on these occasions to be coy and
hard TO please, and kept her lovers lowering
about her. The dragon-hy is another graceful
wOer, and, when counting, takes great care to
show every one of his many points of beauty
and ornament. He will alight near the female
on some twig or on the ground, and rapidly vi
brate his wings his abdomen plays up and
down in unison with his wings, and he will
often perform short but stately march in
front of her. Like the butterfly, the love
scenes of dragon-flies generally occur in
mid-air. snisa

The Regular Army.
IHarper's WeeklyI


An enlisted man serving on the Frontier
has opportunities for sport that would be en-
Wed by hundreds of wealthy men, especially
in the way of hunting and fishing. He plays
all kinds of outdoor games, is regular in his
habits, has stated times for meals and for
Sleep which all tend to the development of
his physical powers, and the training he re-
ceives straightens his frame and gives him an
easy upright carriage that never after leaves
him, until old age lays the weight OF its hand
upon him.
The post exchange is fitted up with billiard
and pool-room, lunch-counter, and eard-room.
Only the best grades of beer are sold there,
and drunkenness cannot exist under present
restricted rules. A pleasant room is always
set aside as reading room, where current
newspapers are on file, and in addition to
this, each company usually maintains q
library A post school is maintained for six
months of the year, where he may improve
his mental condition if he desires. He is pro-
vided with excellent clothing, which, when
altered to fit neatly, is the nattiest uniform
known.
A drunkard OF other questionable character
may possibly creep in among the men en-
listed, but he is soon spotted, +" and under
the law that five previous convictions by
courts martial are sufficient TO award dlShOn-
Orable discharge, he is soon gotten rid Of 1t
is creditable to the army that all men now serv-
ing in the ranks, except possibly a few left over
from the old army, are capable of reading and
writing the English language, that is, in linn
tied sense.
To enter the service man must submit
certificate of character from his last employer,
and in many other ways satisfy the exs,nin-
ing officer that he is worthy young man. If
he be intelligent, his services are sought by
the different department chiefs as clerk, or in
some other capacity. The new law which al
lows any enlisted man of two years service
to apply for examination with view to Sc
curing commission has already induced
many bright young men to enter the ranks
If the people can only be prevailed upon to
cast aside the prejudice which has blinded
their judgment of the army for the past 20
years, our young men will be only too will
ing to enlist and enjoy the benefits that accrue
during three years term OF service.

A Profitabie Industry.
Mem YoyI ISYu.l


The oppression of the poor Western farmer
still goes on apace. In. Nebraska the Su-
preme Court Of the State has just taken from
him lucrative means of livelihood For
years there has been law in the State requir-
ing railroad engineers to whistle at every
highway crossing, and imposing fine of $50
for every failure to do So half the fine going
to the informer. For, some reason engineers
have pot been able to do all the whistling re-
quired by this law perhaps from need of
some steam to run tue locomotive, and the
farmers have made a great deal of money by
watching the crossings and bringing suit
against the companies for infractions of the
law. Every snit thus brought has heretofore
been decided against the companies, and the
law has cost them great of money. One
farmer recently got verdict for s., 500
whistling money against the Union Pacific.
The Supreme Court has finally declared the
law unconstitutional.
