bicycling. On the contrary, if She suffers
from weakness or disease of the distinctly

their general health is peculiarly dependent

CloItier had pair of slippers from Mr.
Halves store. and pair of shoes from

party had passed up Water street a pair
of CATERS and a box containing a pair of

confessed that she dropped them.
They were arraigned before Judge An

two handkerchefs. a sweater and two
towels under her cape before being dis
covered. When Mr.. Buckley accused them
of the theft OF his goods and pulled the
towels from under Miss Bolieus cape. she
offered him any price to keep still. but
he decided that the public was in danger
by having such characters about. The
hearing will be continued. this morning.

A workingman, fond of his pint of beer
on Saturday night, got very muddled

such occasions searched his pockets, he,

One Sunday morning he was sitting
looking at the bird, when neighbor
looked in and inquired II he would sell 1t.

A VEGETABLE FLYTRAP.
The sundew That Catches and Devcrrs
Small Insects.


Tsaere Is an article on "Plants That
Feed Upon Insects" written by Thomas
ii. Kearney, Jr., in st. Nicholas. The
author says:
Perhaps some of the readers of st. Mich
olas have noticed the little plants called
sundews that dwell in bogs i'm almost ev-
cry part of the world The commonest Of
these i'm the United States and In England
is the round leafed sundew, which has "A
rosette of roundish leaves on slender
stalks. Out of the midst of them rises
leafess stem, bearing number of small,
white flowers, that open one by one when
the sun is shining. The leaves are fringed
and covered on the upper side with small.
dark red bodies called glands, borne on
slender stalks, like tiny, round headed
nails On each Of these little glands may
be seen drop Of clear. sticky liquid that
glisteDs in the sunlight. And this appear
ance earns for the plant its pretty name
of sundew.
When an insect-a small fly, for exam
pie, or a gnat-alights upon a sundew
leaf. he is caught and held by the sticky
fluid on the glands under him. Then the
stalks Of the glands near the edges Of the
leaf begin to bend In toward the spot
where the little intruder Is fastened, at
the same time pouring out an extraordi-
nary quantity of their sticky fluid. 1t Is
like puppy whose mouth waters when he
catches sight of bone This movement
of the gland stalks is very slow, and it
takes many hours for the outer ones to
close down on the poor little victim. When
they are at last completely bent, 1t is n
number of days before they once more be-
gin to spread.
Meantime the fluid which they pour
upon the body Of the insect actually di-
gests all the eatable part of him, leaving
the hard shell or the thin wings behind,
when the glands return to their places.
Sundews will digest tiny bits of meat If
placed upon the leaves There is no doubt
that the plants are better for an occasional
meal upon an insect, for those that do not
obtain such food once in awhile thrive less
than the plants that succeed in securing it.

FROM A MOSQUITO BITE.
An italian Bitten by One Of Them Be-
comes Insane.

The Jersey mosquito has many things
70 answer for, but the strangest of the
accusations against him came to light
recently when Carmine Lepre, an ltal-
ian bootblack, was taken to Bellevue
hospital, New York, violently insane.
His insanity was caused by mosquitoes
bite, and his particular delusion is that
he thinks he is a mosquito.
He persists in rocking himself to and
fro and necessarily droning an imita-
ton of the mosquitoes hum.
A week previous to his attack he took
his family for an outing TO Union Hill,
N. j., and visited friend there.
While sitting in the garden Lepre
was bitten by mosquito. He slapped
the insect and killed it. and thought
no more about the incident. Presently
the puncture began to itch and he
scratched it. Dirt found its way into
the sore, and in few days he had de-
veloped bad case Of blood poisoning.
His left arm began to swell, and
finally, when the swelling had spread
to his breast. he went to dispensary
to have his arm treated. A physician
cut it and relieved him of large guam
tity of poisonous matter, but the poison
Ing had gone so far that the case was a
difficult one to treat.
He became nervous and restless, and
finally became violently insane.
He tried to bite every one who ap
preached him, and when she realized
that he was beyond control his wife
sent for policeman and had him taker
to Bellevue. He fought the ambulance
! attendants and did not quiet down I'M
til he was placed in cell. Then III
took his position at the open window
and began his monotonous droning like
mosquito.
Dr. Robertson, who is in charge o
the insane pavilion, says that Lepr
will probably recover from the bloo'
poisoning, but that he will undoubtedl,
be adjudged insane. New York Herald

THE USES OF BACTERIA.
The Delicate Flavor of Butter and Cheese
Owing to Them.

An American scientist, Professor
Conn of Wesleyan university, Middle
town. Conn, and Simon q. Keith of
Boston are demonstrating by expert
ments that bacteria serve useful pur-
nose in nature and contribute as much
to ones pleasure as to ones discomfort.
The outcome of their Investigations is
that it is to the development of bacteria
in milk that the delicate flavor or but
ter and cheese is due, and that the rea-
son some kinds of butter and cheese
have better favors than others is that
different species of bacteria have been
developed. They have succeeded III lso-
lating these different species.
In 1891 Professor Wilhelm Storch OF
Copenhagen succeeded in isolating GER
tain acid bacteria from ripened cream
and was able to cultivate and utilize
them in the creameries for accomplish
ing an artificial ripening in the cream
and consequent fermentation, III order
that more uniform and better flavor
cd butter might be produced.
But it was not until two years ago,
when Professor Conn discovered germ
for the ripening Of cream which was
radically different from any heretofore
used, that the subject began to be stud
led in this country with the view of de
yeloping its commercial possibilities.
| Since then a laboratory has been fltteo
M in Boston by Orrin Douglass for the
separation, cultivation and inyestlga
ton of bacteria from a commercial
standpoint Mr.. Douglass has associated
with him Mr. Keith, who is a graduate
of the Institute of Technology.-Ex

At the smelling works the management
had furnace ready for dipping which
the visitors witnessed and after an in
sDection oil the rest OF the plant all again
embarked on the Pilgrim for Dollar Bay.
During the visit at the smelts the barge
was run to Houghton where the ladies
oil the Harmony club loaded it down
with good things to eat which were en-
joyed by the excursionists on the trip to
the Bay with an appetite born OF Lake
Superior trip.
At the smelling works many more OF
the entertaining committees who had
been unable to go to the canal Joined
the party and remained with it until the
return in the evening to Houghton.
At Dollar Bay the works OF the Tama-
rack Osceola manufacturing company
were shown in full operation and Supt.
Collins, who had been with the party
since morning, took great pains in ex-
planning the details OF the intricate work
under his management. A special train
on the II. & T.. railroad took the visitors
to the Quincy and Tamarack mills, where
again the officials in thorough manner
pointed out the various process OF sepa.
rating the copper from the rock. Dur
ing the remainder OF the afternoon the
Tamarack mine was visited according
to schedule.
The various copper country gentlemen
who gladly gave their time to the enter
tainment and instruction OF their guests
found they had different set OF men to
deal with than are usually met with in
parties visiting this section. The object
was not by any means all curiosity or
seeking to be entertained. Intelligent
questions aimed at the point OF the mat
ter in hand whether it was the dip OF
lode, the percentage OF mineral in the
rock or the various mechanical problems
solved by our mines were to be answered
and that they were well answered the
reputation OF our mining men leaves no
doubt. The visitors are men who going
away will carry accurate knowledge and
be able to report correctly upon our re-
sources and the advantages capital may
find here and thus mutual advantage
must result from their visit.
Today the Quincy and. :. Franklin were
visited by one section OF the party and
the Atlantic by another and Capt. Dunn
took few gentlemen to the Six Mile Hill
exploration where they could see cop
per mine in it's infancy and learn little
OF what the range betwsn here and Onto
nagon has to offer investing capitalists
This AFTERNOON the MiningkSchool was
visited and this evening the party will
dine a. the Onigaming clubhouse from
where they will take the special train o.
Wagner cars for Duluth and the west.
