A Butterfly That Enjoys Gaiy Five Eoura
of Life.
1t is in August that the naturalists
observe the marvellous insect which is
born, reproduces and dies i'll the period
OF a single night, on the banks Of the
Marine, Of ne Seine, and of the Rhine.
It is the epnemere Of which Sirammer-
dam has written and which is spoken
of IN Aristotle.
The life Of this Insect does not last
beyond four or five hours. 1t dies to-
ward II o'clock i'll the evening. after
taking the form Of q butterfly about SIX
hours after midday, 1t is true, how
yer. that before taking this form il
has lived three years ID that Of d worm,
which keeps always near the border Of
water III the holes which it makes in
the mud.
The change of this worm in the
water to an epaemere which flies is so
sudden that one has not the time 10 see
it. II one takes the worm in the water,
the hand canao be taken away before
the change is made unless by pressing

within my observation a nunlbeT
Of years ago when / was studying med
icine aud which convinced me that tn
members of the horse family at l"as:
ought to be credited with the possession
of a very considerable gaantity Of rea-
soning power. 1t was tho custom Tor
the students Gt the medical institution
at wiai3h | pursued Ey studies to wear
a small badge upon their co.tts to dis
tinguieh them from others IL tho col
lege. A horse belonging to the estah-
l~isIlnaent was used g great deal about
the medical department, and the ami
NAL seemed to have special preference
for the embryo doctors mere than for
any other people about the establish
ment.
Zone day, while a number Of Us We're
gathered III u litt45 kAQb uPuii l. sIiail

animal IL question, which used to rip
the grass in the location, came toward
the group limping very badly. He came
to a stop Il dozen or more feet from tho
crowd ard, carefully surveying the let
of us, finally made up his mind as TO
what be wanted to do and without any
hesitation limped directly to my side,
whinnied, stack his nose against my
body and held up his left foreieg. Look
ing down. I discovered d large nail i'm
bedded il the freq OF his hoof. This
had evidently caused the lameness. !
then realized the interesting fact that
the animal desired attendance. I ex-
tracted the nail with some difficulty,
and the horse whimpered with relief
and walked away. Rather curious a. 10
why the beast had picked me or TO ut
tend to his wound, I glanced at the
boys and found the solution to the prob
lem. Net oae Of the group had his med
ieal badge upon his coat but myself.
The horse had recognized the insignia,
realized its significance and acted ao-
cordingly."-New Orleans Tinles-Dem-

Why the Street Car Conductor Would Not

A fat man who had nearly been
thrown over the front rail BY the sud-
den stopping Of the car snortad angrily :
"Why don't you cut across? I've get
to catch a train. I can't wait here all

he'd gone a block. A little while later
another poor fellow cut across bach of
a hearse. He ran over three children in
as many weeks. He quit the road as
crazy as a loon. Now the conductor on
that same car has lost every cent he
had in the world, and his wife and

to see you get off this car and walk
across in front of one of those carriages.
