Bugology in Bulk.

Not long ago Missouri editor who,
in common with the craft, yearned to
know everything, sent an insect which
he found crawling around in the edi-
torial paste to one of the scientific bug
men in Washington and asked for ex-
pert information. In the course of
time he was informed that the bug was
very rare one, and that the depart
ment would like TO have a lot more of
them. The scientist was enthusiastic
over the fact that this particular bug
had the head and thorax coarsely
punctured and that the little tubercle
on the Yertex behind the ocelli was
wanting, and that the prothoraX, scu-
tellum, and postscutellum, were carin-
ate. Moreover, the squama arising
from the posterior lateral lodges of the
postscutellum were prolonged into
long, in-curved points. He also stated
officially that the mctathorax was
reticulate, with triangular median
area which is open above, with trans
verse striae within and passing below
into a long median carina, the lateral
faces being striato-punctate and the
striae transverse. The editor was so
much impressed with this profound de-
scription that he has developed into an
enthusiastic entomologist and has been
SO industrious in collecting for the de-
partment at Washington that there
isn't cockroach to be seen in his Office

LADIES' HATS.
Small Ones in Fantastic Shapes to b.
Popular.

Small Ones In Fantastic Shapes to BE
Popular.
Judging from the number of feathers
worn, few indeed must be the women
who have pledged themselves against
cruelty to the feathered tribe. Never
were SO many birds called upon to con-
tribute their beauty to the adornment
of headgear.
Ribbons and velvet also play some
part in the trimming of hats, but they
are decidedly subordinate to feathers
and used only where the latter would
be impracticable.
In shape as well as trimming hats are
peculiar. AS rule they are small and
many have unexpected points sticking
out here and there on the brim. One
in particular, with very fiat crown, is
narrow of brim in the front and the
back, but at each side flares out in a
point that extends far beyond the head.
On occasions those points are accent
uated by the hat trimmings, which are
designed with narrow loops and wings
that rise upward and tend to increase
the fantastic shape of the hat.
Prettier, perhaps, is hat of the same
shape, covered with tan canvas cloth
and bound with black velvet. Two
bands of velvet encircle the crown and a
chou in front is held down by bril-
liant buckle. From beneath the buckle
two satin wings start-wings of glori-
Gus beauty, that extend far beyond the
points of the brim, making them truly
ignifcant.-Chicago Record.

large central banks with many branch
es. The banks Of Canada are able to
maintain singular uniformity in the
ratesot interestin the great commercial
centers and In the remote agricul-
tural regions because the banks OF
Montreal and Toronto have their
branches in Manitoba and the Pacific
region ard can transfer the surplus cap
ital Of onelocality to meet the deficiency
in another as it cannot be done by who'll
ly independent banks. The conditions
in Canada are very much like those OF
the United States, and the success of the
Canadian banks in doing what we rec
ognize the Importance Of having done
is entitled to great weight in our con-
siderations. In Scotland it is well
known that the branch system has
greatly favored those agricultural in
terests which in our own country are so
much in need of financial accommo-
dation.
The preponderance of financial testi-
mony is decidedly in favor of the
branch system, most of the opposition
to which comes, or would come, from
local financial interests, jealous OF
strong outside competition. There is
a feeling of distrust of all banks which
is born of ignorance. 1t increases rap
idly with the increase of a banks cap
ital and the extension of its operations,
which are supposed to prove the bank to
be q nonopoly.-Iron Age.

QUESTION OF BRANCH BANKS.
Experience of other Countries II
Largely in Favor of Them.

If small national banks are to be en-
couraged in the more sparsely settled
portions of the country, the question
arises whether they should be purely
local organizations or branches Of the
great metropolitan banks. The old
United States bank had branches which.
by virtue of their connection with a
large central institution, had some adj
vantages over the local banks, with
which they competed, but were
in more than one instance the objects Of
adverse state legislation. This spirit
of local hostility to bank located in
another city. and perhaps another state,
left memories which still survive and
which account in part for the opPosi-
ton to branch banks.
But the experience of England and
Scotland, Canada and Australia, is
strongly and uniformly in favor OF

The Natural Bridge of Today.

The Natural bridge is 215 feet i'll
height, 100 feet in width, with span
of 80 feet Under the arch might be
placed tho Washington monument at
Baltimore. Cedar creek, the stream
over which it stretches its arch, is clear
as crystal No photograph or painting
can impress the mind with its immen-
sity or grandeur or geometrical proper
tons or the rich coloring or the pic
turosque surroundings. One must feast
his eyes upon the mighty arch to realize
its yastness. Under the arch are the
outlines of AN American eagle, formed
by moss and liehens. Upon one side is
where George Washington, when a sur
veyor for Lord Fairfax, 100 years ago,
carved his name in the rock. The raw
ages of time and exposure to the ele.
ments have nearly obliterated the name.
but some of the letters are quite dis.
tinct. In the years gone by Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster and many prominent
statesmen, before railroads were built,
spent days of inconvenient travel to
look upon this, one of the wonders Of
the world Now the iron horse speeds
over its steel roadway, and in few
hours one can reach this destination
without fatigue. Baltimore Sun.

New Mexico Shepherd Boys.
When going up the valley Of tho Rio
! Grrnae i'll New Mexico, my attention
was drawn to the Aocks of sheep and
goats and their pastores, or shepherd
boys. These little shepherds wore
neither hats nor shoes. Their only gar
ment was tunic. reaching little be-
low the knee and confined by girdle,
from which depended small pouch
or scrip. a culver, with bow and ar
rows, hung athwaIt the shoulders, and
the right hand held sling. Presently
stone from the scrip was hurled for
ward toward the right or left to make
the flock swcrvo to the left or right. 1t
was impossible not to recognize little
David, the son of jesse" and one
might have almost expected to behold
Goliath, the Philistine, coming 10 defy
the children of Israel.
The portraiture of the scene described
in the book Of Samuel was too exact to
be ascribed to accident, and for the first
time il occurred to mo that David bore
sling, not for tho purpose of Staying
bears or lions-or even Philistines-but
to guido and control tho flock, and that
these little shepherds Of kindred race,
dwelling i'll u country not unlike the
pastoral regions Of Jud9a, very natural
ly continued to resenaet the scenes de-
scribed in sacred history. - Catholic
