another site for standpipe of the proposed

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefactor To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
overflows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scriptiOn which will cure them Of any
form Of nervous debility; relieves
them Of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly lia-
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man. suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of
untold misery. AS the remedy In
question was the result Of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such remedy at
once. A request to FL. O. Odds, Box
.174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use Of the medicine by giving
1t a trial. will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
Odds can afford to give away his dis
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you came to write him.

provided il with caustic potash for the
purpose, but has endowed it with a
mechanism of complex perfection to ac-
complish this little object. On the
front of the head it has a sharp chisel
edge, and with this it has to cut
through the pottery, contracting itself
to the utmost in the posterior part Of
the cocoon, and retaining itself in this
position by the hooks on the mobile
part of the body it is condition of elas-
tic tension in consequence of the other
side of the body being so differently
formed and immobile.
Therefore, releasing the hold of the
hooks, the pupa is discharged forward,
and the chisel piece strikes the front
part of the cocoon; repeating this an
enormous number of times, a circle may
be gradually inscribed on the inside of
the far end of the cocoon, which gives
way when sufficiently weakened, and
the insect becomes free. In both the
specimens the inside of the cocoon is
about half cut through; either this is
done as the result of a prolonged series
of wriggles, or shocks such as I have
described. 1t is by 10 means improb-
able that the early part of the perform
ance is carving the groove by wriggling,
the latter part knocking it off by jump
ing against it." The pupa is thus a
most interesting one to. entomologists.
The order of insects to which it be
longs appears to be somewhat uncer-
tain, but DR.. Sharp thinks it will prove
to be an anomalous lepidopterous in
sect allied to Trichoptera, and possibly
somewhere near to Adela.-Entomolo-

Personality OF the Coming mistress or the
White House.
The personality of the wife of the
president-elect becomes a matter of
wide public interest now that she is
destined to preside as mistress of the
white house for four years, beginning
March 4 next. For the following facts
about her the New York Journal is In

will fill her position ably. Mrs. McKin-
ley is well enough to attend to every
necessary duty in Washington, and

The Fighting Rhinocerus.

The rhinoceros is said to be one Of
the most pugnacious and dangerous of
beasts when aroused. C. f. Holder
tells the following story illustrating its
strength: An English sportsman, to-
gether with some American friends,
was hunting the rhinoceros one day
in Equatorial Africa, when suddenly,
without warning, they were charged by
a huge bull that singled out the Eng
lishman and chased him down a narrow
clearing, where the riders horse be-
came entangled in the underbrush.
The Infatuated rhinoceros soon came
up with the fugitives and thrust its
ugly head beneath the horse, expecting
TO pierce it with its sharp horn. In
stead of this, the latter slipped under
the girth, and by it the rhinoceros lifted
horse and rider, tossing them COM
pletely over its head, so that they fell
upon it's flank. Thinking it had accom-
plished it's purpose, the beast trotted
off, upon which the horse and rider
struggled to their feet, entirely unin-
jured except for the shaking up.-St.
