A Queer Insect.

There is queer looking insect that
looks for all the world like bit of dead
stick and is known as the walking
stick insect, or praying mantis' 1t
has Two arms, with which it catches
flies, it's natural food. You may cut the
head off a laantis, yet the active arms
still continue catching flies and trying
to stuff theIn into its missing jaws.
This seems 70 show that insects can't
feel much pain.
But it's u hard matter to understand
The nerves VI an insect are arranged so
differently frum those Of man or other
superior animals that no comparison
is possible. Mans nerves are, except
those of the heart and internal organs,
quite under each individuals control.
In the cago Of insects their nerves are
arranged il separate "ganglia, % or bun
dies, each of which is capable of act
ing quite independently of the rest. -

Odd Advertisements.

Printers Ink reports some odd adver-
tisenlents in Chicago. "Get your daily
bread from this wagon" is on baker,
cart. "Our bicycle ambulance will call
for crippled wheels" reads a sign. A
shoe store advertises, Quality, all
kinds; prices, your kind" A knowing
druggist has this placard in the window:
Come in, buy stamp, wait for the
Car or consult the directory. " 1.-The One
Arm Laundry" is one the South Side.
"We will shake you for the drinks" is
a saloonist's announcement. An under
taker has a sign in his window pro-
claiming the fact that he has a good
line of caskets on hand and that he
gives 10 per cent off for cash.
Two Busy Women Playwrights.
The busiest playwright of them all,
Mrs. Madeline Lucette Ryley, arrived
from Europe recently, and the next
morning at Wallack's began the re-
hearsal of her new play, "A Coat of
Many Colors," in which Herbert Kelley
and Miss Effie Shannon are going to star.
Besides this play Mrs. Ryley has in re-
bearsal her new Mysterious Mr.
Bugle" company and intends to coach
the new players in Nat Goodwin's re-
vival of his comedy, can American
Citizen" She has also to give the fin
ishing touches to the book of a comic
opera for which Julian Edwardes has
written the music. Martha Morton is
another woman dramatist who is also
hurrying home to set to work again.
Recently her comedy, "a Wife's
Father" was produced at the Criterion,
London, under the title of 1.-The Sleep
ing Partner" and as soon as she re-
turns home she will begin work on
''The Truth Tellers," a dramatization
of John Strange Winters novel, which
Charles Frohman has bought.

The grandfather of Ethan Allen
Hitchcock, the new minister to Russia,

the most eminent citizens of Burling-
ton, Vt. He was the first attorney gen.

1890 to 1898, and presidential elector

circuit of the United States, receiving
the appointment from John Adams

Ideal fly casting is a very simple
movement and not a flourish. The
elbow is kept down at the side, the
forearm moving only a little, and
most of the work is done by the wrist.
Holding the rod by the grip" the
part of the butt wound with silk or
rattan to assist the grasp, one finds
that the reel, which is just below the
''grip," aids in balancing the rod.
The reel is underneath the casting.
After hooking a fish many anglers
turn their rods so as to bring the reel
to the upper side, thus letting the
strain of the line come upon the rod
itself instead of upon the rings or fer
rules. For the first cast, with the
right foot in advance, take the end OF
the line in the left hand and bring
the rod upward and backward until
the line is taut. AS you release the
line the spring of the rod carries the
line backward. This is the back cast.
Then comes the instant pause, while
the line Strengthens itself out behind,
and then with a firm motion of the
wrist, helped a little by the forearm,
the rod is thrown forward and the
inc flies easily out in front.

Soap that's Soap

Clothes never rot or hands

soap, it contains no injurious
alkali. True economy is in
honest goods; buying shoddy

State Names.

When Lincoln's turn comes to have a
new state named after him, by all
means let our scholars insist upon Lin
colnia. If the bad linguistic taste which
dictated the naming of the state of

a George and North and South Caro-

The old story of Prometheus is a par
able. Prometheus was on terms of in
timacy with the gods. From them he
stole fire, and gave it to men. For this
sin he was bound to the rocks of Mount
Caucasus, and vultures were set upon
him. They only ate his liver. This
grew again as fast as it was pecked
away. Ale his sufferings to be inn
agined?
Take modern Interpretation of the
parable. There is no cooking without
fire. In cooking and eating the mis-
chief lies. The stomach is overtasked,
the bowels become clogged, they can
not dispose of the food that is given
them. The impurities back up on the
liver. Then comes the vultures-the
torments of a diseased liver. Or.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
more than equal to the vultures of dys-
pepsia and its kindred diseases. There
Is no more need of suffering from dys-
pepsia than there is of hanging ones
