Lenglet- Dufresnoy had paid SO many
visits to the Bastille that when he saw
an exempt" coming down the street
in which be lived he would call out to
his housekeeper, "Pack up half dozen
shirts, and don't forget packet Of to-
bacco." The latter portion of the re-

that time authors were treated as first

THE BUTTERFLY.
How the Gorgeous Beauty Bursts From
His Ugly Outer Shell.


His Ugly Outer Shell.
Last summer I noticed a milkweed
caterpillar travelling across the piazza
floor, evidently in search of his final
shelter We secured him temporarily
under tum bier, but there. to our sur
prise, he proceeded to spin his little
web and hang himself head downward
from the bottom of the covering glass
in such wise that in the course of two
days we saw the whole process of change,
even to the splitting Of the caterpillar
skin and the final wriggle from it that
changed him into the most exquisite
transparent, nile green chrysahs, but
toned with gold. Toward the end Of two
weeks this began to grow Opaque, and
gradually we saw from under it the
thorax, antenna, head, wings and alb
dominal rings in perfect coloring Of
black and red. One fine morning she
burst this outer she'll of sin and Matched
himself not ga cherubim," but a
more tangible aerial creature, though
not able to float off at once, as perhaps
even cherubim do not. No; his wings
were only as big as dime pieces. "And
still the wonder grew as we watched
them grow and unfold under our eyes
in breathless amazement, and one at
least in reverence and awe. 1t seemed
such definite change from death into
life. 1t was not so difficult then to i'm
agine soul freed from its mortal en-
velope since this marvel could be done.
The little creature, after expanding
to its full size, became very sociable,
liking to be held on the finger, and after
had once unrolled his proboscis with a
pin and guided it to drop of sugared
water quickly learned to find his food
and sucked up drop Sin no time. =
After few days he aoated out OF a
carelessly opened window, and / was
glad and sympathized, for I, too, longed
to try my wings beyond four walls.
Milkweed caterpillars are common
enough {Dansis Archippus, ! believe,
but cannot verify, and it is most
charming and exciting experiment, es-
pecially for an invalid, to try. Boston

Ernest Rowe Wanted TO Die and Attempts to
Take His Life.

Lewiston, Dec 21.-Ernest Rowe, the
ward salesman at the Jordan Frost
company lumber mill, attempted sui
eide at the company's Office at an early
hour Saturday morning. When the
book keeper came in at he found Mr.
Rowe lying on the floor and bleeding
from a cut in his throat which he had
inflicted with his pocket knife.
He said that he wanted to die. and
that he had taken poison and on its
falling had attempted to complete his
destruction with his knife.
Mr.. Rowe was taken to the Central
Maine general hospital He explained
to the physician and the coroner about
how he had inflicted the injuries, but
refused to give any reasons beyond
saving that he wanted to die.
At the hospital, after the operation
of dressing the wounds, he was critical
Nv examined. and the physicians thought
that it was probable that he would re-
cover unless the poison that he had
taken proved too much for the system
together with the loss OF blood causeu
nv his cut throat. The wound was not
a serious one. the larger arteries anu
veins not being severed.

PECULIAR STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Colonel PhiIbrcok wiIlinvestigate Company G
Of State National Guard.

Bangor Dec. 19.--tSpeciaD. The most
important meeting in military circles
ever held in this city, will take place
here, tomorrow evening. when Col. G.
A. Philbrook, commanding the ID Regi-
ment, will meet Co. G., of the National
Guard, in its armory, and give it a
thorough examination and also investi-
gate the causes for the trouble which
is now going on in this organization.
Some months ago Sergeant Charles b.
Aver was dismissed from the ranks OF
the Hamlin Rifles, on account, as Capt.
Spencer states of expiration of service
but the real cause of his discharge 50
those on the other side, state was
another thing.
Aver is one of the best military men
in Bangor and the Hamlin Rifles need
lot of just such men to keep the or
ganization alive. Two or three years
ago Co. q, stood at the head of the
militia Of Maine, but now it is far down
in the list This decline was doubtless
caused in a measure to the discharge OF
Sergeant Aver. Last Monday night the
Rifles met and Aver appeared in uni
form. Capt. Spencer asked that he be
renstated and some of the non-com-
missioned officers and others would non
listen to il and said that his conduct
was that unbecoming to an v-.icer and
if he was again taken back. they would
leave the company. These non-com
missioned officers claim that Aver is
not fit man to have in the company
On the other hand Capt. Spencer says
that the company cannot be run with
out men of mis- ability and he says if he
is going to have anything to say about
the affairs of the organization of which
he is the head. Aver will be made a
member. The case will he thoroughly
aired at tomorrow nights meeting. A
prominent member of the organiza ton
says that there are other things which
need to be looked after besides Aver 5
conduct He limited that there was an
A. p. A. movement in the Rifles and it
was the cause of the discharge of one
of the most earnest workers in the
company only few months ago. Capt.
Spencer has already applied for the
diShonorable discharge of four of the
non commissioned officers. who said
they would leave the organization if
conduct. The matter has created con-
siderable interest in military circles in
this city and in Maine

CITY OF PEkIN
Plunged in Very Pit Of Political Monotony
Says Rev. Mr.. Ament.

Boston, Dec. 20.-Rev. VIM. $. Ament
of Pekin. China, a missionary of the
American board writes to the board
concerning the political outlook, as fol-
lows:
"Pekin is plunged into the very pit of
political monotony at the present time.
The Russian minister returns to St.
Petersburg with his banners flying,
having secured his country's influence
for the future. Reform is a word not
spoken now in the higher circles. The
railroad is in Chinese hands and is go
ing on at their usual rate of progress.
The dragon shakes his tail in the
Peiho river. and they must suspend
operations on the bridge for some
weeks. The so-called reform club has
entirely subsidized into a government
school. with no students and no in
structors, but the government pays TO-
900 taels a month to support this man
of straw. Second hand foreign rifles
are bought at ruinous rates.
Twelve thousand guns came to the
city a few days ago and are dumped
into to go down to rust. Tony mind. our
great political necessity is an edct of
liberation. making it possible for Off
Gals to be Christians without losing
their rank. Christianity is tolerated
among the people, but not among peo-
pie of rank. The first duty of every
officer of the government is to worship
the god of war on the LIST and 18th of
each month. Any delinquency here
would be followed by condign punish
ment. Mohammedans do as the
heathens, but no Christian could con-
sent to worship a dead man.
