insects and Frost.

1t will soon be time to study the curl
Gus effects of frost on insects, and to
note the remarkable manner in which
some of them will revive after hard
freeze. 1t is a common experience to
find butterflies frozen hard in October
and November. These, when first
picked up, are very brittle, and will
break unless carefully handled. If
taken into a warm room, however, or
even placed in the crown of your hat,
they will rapidly recover from the eff
fects of the freeze. and upon being re-
leased. will fly away as joyously as If
nothing had happened.-st. Louis Re

Been shaving this week, There is
little SHAVER at his house that vii

We are Of the opinion that Uncle
Oanl Purtle Icol, has the smartes'
hen IN the state. Uncle Dan is very
proud of his hen and her SIX chlldrer
and every night turns a box oyel
them after they have retired to keeT
off the yarmints. But 1t seems that
he forgot his pets one night last
week. Their box during the day !,
left propped mp with a board and on
the night spoken of they all gathered
under it, and no tender hand hike
Uncle Dams came to shut them in.
Everything went well until the ear
lv morning, when an owl swooped
down upon them like a wolf in the
fold, and thereby hangs tale. HIS
owlshlpwas n OF long in locating the
pets on which Uncle Dan had lavish
ed the affection of his old age, and
at once began a premeditated apd
plalclous attack upon them, entering
their home without ceremony. AS
his owlShip entered, however, the
mother hen, realizing that "some>
thing had to be did," concluded to
take a trip for her nealth at odce,
and in the hustle and hurry OF leav.

sual an hour, she accidentally knock
ed the prop from under TIE box, let
ting it fail down suddenly and with
out warning, thus entrappng the
unsuspectIng owl. He remained IN
this position until death came to his
relief IN the shape of stick IN the
hand of Uncle Dan,
On Friday afternoon of last week,
two young gents, unworthy the
name after paying a visit to the
still house three miles from town,
and "tauking up" lot, determined
ito do something smart and could
think of uothng more interesting
than to call at the home OF an old
couple living half a mile from the
still, and raise a racket with them
The old man ordered the young
hoodlums to leave, or behave them
selves, and this so angered them
that they at once proceeded to
resent 1t 5v knocking the old man
down, and beating HIM up IN a very
brutal manner, cutting lS ugly
gashes III his head with a rock
When the old lady saw the predlca'
ment ber husband was in, she flew
to the rescue, and was met by one
Of the boys who knocked her down,
and beat her up to a consldera bic
extent. The old people were
unable to attend the trial Saturday
at Maxville. Justice Snow imposed
a fine of $25, on one of them and $40,
on the other. The grand jury viii
undoubtedly look into the matter.

IN THE HOUSE
A Whole Day 0iven to Ex-Confedefate De-
serters

WASHINGTON, April 24.--Althougll
this was private bill day under the rules
the house decided to proceed with the
Pickler pension bill, and the whole day
was consumed in the discussion of that
measure. The debate was devoid of
interest. The feature was the opposi-
tion of Mr.. Connolly to the section of
the bill which granted pensions to con-
federate soldiers who deserted and
Joined the Union ranks ninety days be-
fore Lees surrender. 1t is not probable
nat vote will be reached before Mon
day.
By unanimous consent bills We're
passed empowering the city of Tucson
Ariz., to issue bonds of $10O, 900 for the
construction of water and sewer sys-
tenn, and to authorize the return free of
duty of articles exported for exhibition
purposes.
Jones, Democrat Of Virginia, present
ed report on the contested election
case of Cornett VS.. Swanson, Fifth Vir-
ginia district, in favor of the Demo
cratic sitting member.
The pension bills favorably acted up-
on Friday night were passed. Among
them was one to pension the widow of
the late Brig. Gen. Ferdinand Vandeyer
at the rate of $50 a month
The house proceeded with the debate
on the pension bill.
MI. Layton democrat of Ohio, criti-
cized some features of the measure and
expressed the hope that opportunity
would be afforded for amendment, but
said If compelled to vote on the bill as
it was he would support it, He espe-
cially criticized the section of the bill
which gives pensions to deserters. He
replied at length to some of the remarks
made yesterday charging the Demo-
cratic party with hostility toward the
Union soldiers.
Mr.. Tracey of Missouri endorsed the
bill
