THE DEArH,s Head MOTH.

Those familiar with English literature
have read Of the deaths head moth, and
the curious tales connected with it.
When seen in any locality, it was re-
garded as an omen of a death in the
vicinity within a few days. and especially
if it made the mysterious sounds it is
capable of producing in some unknown
manner. which il sometimes makes when
flying around. The derivation Of its name
is evident from the crOsSbOnes and skull
which the light .colored down on the
thOTax presents 1t is on the whole PROB
ably the largest and most striking of all
the moths of the old world as it's prime
favorite. But since the introduction of
the potato this plant seems 10 be its
chief food. In Meehan's Monthly atten-
ton is called to an illustration from
German publication, showing in an in
structiVe manner the various stages OF
the creature. and which is here repro
duced. In the lower right hand corner
is seen the pUpa case. in which stage it
passes its resting career, until it energies
as the beautiful moth at the top of the
pfCture-the eggs finally developing the
proud looking caterpillar on the left.

F,olitically. He wants also to bore
few holes in the constitution of the
United States and limit the power OF
the. federal government in dealing with
matters which he claims are the eX-
elusive right of Individual states.
He would also like to wipe every cor

he had the power he would smash the
Democratic party to gain any one OF
his ideals. He is a Democrat on the
tariff question only. He is opposed TO
protection because he argues that a
protective policy benefits the manutac-
tuers and their employees, while 1t
makes the farmers pay more for their
needs without compromising them in
any way. In other words, he says pro
lection benefits the city at the expense
of the country.
The latter perhaps forms the key
stone of Tillman's plan. His is war

is q revolutionist. and would have the
farmers dominate the cities. He claims
that of the seventy millions OF people
in the United States probably more
than oi.e-half are farmers. This claim
he uses as a justification Of his own
stand He abominates the professional
polftician. yet he is a politician of no
mean capacity himself. He has the
country folk of South Carolina more
completely under his thumb than Tam

degeneracy of the times.

The largest Ioaves of bread baked in
the world are those of France and Italy.
The pipe bread of Italy is baked in
loaves two and three feet long, while
in France the loaves are made in the
shape of very long rolls four CT five feet
in length. and in many cases even six
feet The bread of Paris is distributed
almost exclusively by women, who go
TO the various warehouses at $50 a.

the loaves. After the loaves are thor

Tillman has only been actively IN
politics since 1886. His debut was made
at meeting of the state agricultural
board at Bennettsville. where he MADE
a ragged and disconnected speech IN
favor of certain reforms. He was
laughed at for his pains. He'Nwanted
a college where the rural young could
be educated and fitted for agricultu-
raj pursuits.
1t was not until March of 1880 that
Tillman was ever heard of outside OF
his own state. Then the farmers nom
mated him for governor, and he was
elected after one of the hottest
campaigns in the history of the
country. His unique liquor dispen-
saries and his row with the federal
government about railroads made him,
for the time being, the most talked-of
man in the country.
Tillman says his career is only com
mencing If that is so, the country

Many persons of both sexes are
troubled with cramp in one or both OF
the legs. 1t usually comes on suddenly,
and while it lasts the pain is acute, Most
people jump out of bed-the Cramp nearly
always comes on just after going to bed
or while undressins-and either rub their
legs or get some one to do It for them
1t is said that there is nothing easier
than TO overcome the spasms. and the
method suggested is as follows: Provide
a good strong cord-a long garter viii do
If nothing else is handy. When the
cranp comes on, take the cord, wind It
around the leg over the place in which
the pain is felt. and take an end in each

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb 10
Benjamin Ryan Tillman, the new SEN
ator from South Carolina, IS a wonder
Some people call him freak. but that
is a small word to apply to such a
man. The nation at large had an op-
portunlty TO pass Judgment upon the
man a few weeks ago when he emptied
floodgate of vituperation upon the
head of President Cleveland.
Tillman from all Standpoints except
that of long distance study is uncom-
