By vote OF 3S to 2s, the tariff bill
passed the Senate yesterday, only one
Democrat, Senator McEnery, Of Louis

trifling in character, there are sc,ne
which the committee Of conference win

of the rival and sordid interests back

CURIOUS INSECT.
A Butterfly That Enjoys Only Five Hours
of Life.

1t is in August that the naturalists
observe the marvellous insect which is
born, reproduces and dies in the period
of a single night, OH the banks Of the
Marine, of the Seine, and of the Rhine.
Ii is the ephemere 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 | | o'clock in the evening, after
taking the form of butterfly about six
hours after midday 1t is true, how
ever, that before taking this form it
has lived three years in that of worm,
which keeps always near the border of
water in the holes which it makes in
the mud.
The change Of this worm in the
water to an ephemere which flies is so
sudden that one has not the time to see
lt. If one takes the worm in the water,
The hand cannot be taken away before
the change is made unless by pressing
the worm slightly in the region of the
chest. BY this means it can be taken
from the water before the change takes
place.
The ephemere, after leaving the
water, seeks place where it can divest
itself of fine membrane or veil, which
entirely covers it. This second change
takes place in the air.
The ephemere assists itself with the
point of its little nails as firmly as it
can. 1t makes q movement similar to
that of shiver, then the skin Oh the
middle of the back breaks apart, the
wings slip out of their sheath, as we
sometimes take off our gloves by turn
ing them inside out. After this strip
ping the ephemere begins to fly. Some
times it holds itself straight up Oh the
surface of the water on the end of its tail,
Tapping its wings one against the
other. 1t takes no nourishment in the
five or six hours which are the limit Of
its life. It seems to have been formed
but to multiply, for it does not leave
its s@ate Of worm until it is ready to
deposit its eggs, and it dies as soon as
they are deposited.
In three days. time one sees appear
and die all species of ephemeres. They
last sometimes until the fifth day, for
the reason that some malady has affect
ed some of them and prevents them from
changing at the same time as the
others. -Exchange.

SOME ROYAL DOGS.
Neas's All the sovereigns of Europe Are
Fond of Canine Pets.

Fond of Canine Pets.
Nearly every one of the sovereigns
OF Europe, it appears, has one or more
pet dogs. The collies of Queen Victoria,
the fox terriers of Princess Beatrice,
with Jock ns prime favorite, are known
at least by hearsay to every body.
The emperor of Russia is also a great
lover OF dogs. A London paper reports
that he Is always accompanied in his
walks by couple of fine Danish
hounds, whose strength and vigilance
their master considers his best safe
guard. The grave car is often seen
playing with these monster pets. He
himself has taught them their tricks.
and they are nearly always about him.
The king of Greece shares the czar's
taste for the Danish hounds, which are
as intelligent as they are strong, and
which, with hardly bark to announce
their intentions, will fly at the throat
or any one whom their master NAV
point out to them in case of need
When the empress of Austria goes Oh
her long walks or rides, several pet
dogs always accompany her. But per-
haps the most widely known of all the
royal dogs" of the present day is
Black, the pet dog of the Russian Grand
Duke Alexis.
Black Is a sportsman's dog, of no
very aristocratic breed. Indeed, if the
truth must be told, he is member of
the race of mongrels which the fisher
men in the south of France take out to
sea, employing them to recapture any
willy fish that may fall through the
meshes of their nets or slip suddenly
back into its element after it has been
once landed on board the barge Black
is still rejoicing in the days of his
youth, but his record, not only as a
common fisherman but as fisher of
men, " is already great, for he has saved
no fewer than six persons from watery
grave.
Some three or four years ago the
Grand Duke Alexis was staying at
Biarritz. One stormy night he went out
on the cliff to get view of the angry
sea. A boat was just being wrecked be-
low, and he saw dog dashing with
angry growls and barks into the water
and bringing to land, one by one, three
drowning men, while the crowd cheered
the brave mongrel to the echo. The
grand duke approached to caress the
dog, and the animals master then
offered Black to him, refusing to accept
any payment.-St. Louis Dispatch.

ARMY LIFE.
Its Social InformaIity Constitutes One or
Its Great Charms.

Its Social Informality Constitutes One OF
Its Great Charms.
Army life is informal to degree, -
said Mrs. Custer, during a recent inter
view. 1.-The custom of using cards when
calling is only of very recent date
among officers wives. When lived in
garrison, we should never have dreamed
of such thing. 1t is only at few of
the larger posts, near the cities, where
there is anything like the formality OF
civic life. The people in a garrison ara
like one great family Nothing that
deeply concerns any member is matter
of indifference to the Others, and the
spirit of good fellowship is universal
In time of sickness the friendly helpful
ness of the women for each other is
shown strongly. Many a time l have
known a number Of women to detail
themselves, in regular military fashion,
to duty in the house of sickness at GER
tain hours, relieving one another
through the day and night with ahso-
Lutte precision, so that the sick person,
should never be left without an attend
ant.
with all this close intimacy there
is surprisingly little friction or i'll feel
ing. There are, Of course, at every post
few people who are disagreeable @
hard to get along with, but they cause
no more trouble in general than they
do in their own households They be-
long, we feel, to our army family, and
their shortcomings must be overlooked
Just as we should overlook the faults OF
a husband or brother or sister No dis
tinctions between rich and poor are
ever observed. There is occasionally a
question about calling upon new AT
rivals, but it is solely on account Of
reputation and honor. If there has been
anything discreditable to the good
name of an officer or his wife, the cir
cumstances must be investigated before
other families of the post will call

BARNATO m THE COMMUNE.
How the Diamond King Saved the HANK
of France.


OF France.
A writer of stories about Barney
Barnato says, in the Philadelphia Bull
letin, that there is circumstantially
definite account of his presence in Paris
durius the commune of 1871. In the
utter break up of all social fabric he
found his capacities of paying order.
For there is little doubt that his was
the craft that enabled the shrewder
communards TO realize the money need
ed to supply the sinews Of war
One day, during the gloom and stress
OF the government siege, the president
of the Bank of France was confronted
by an unkempt mob. The demand was
explicit They wanted all the gold In
the banks vaults. The spokesman
fiourished bloody saber and the mob
accumulated the demand by all sorts of
ferocious threats 1t was in the height
OF this melee that man who had been
counseling the financial deputy of the
commune rode up, adorned by a red sash
and other insignia of the terrorists. He
made his way through the vociferous
throng and handed the governor Of the
bank large envelope. While the official
was reading it the besashed emissary
turned to the clamoring nomads and, in
tongue unknown to the officials and
probably to many of the mob, addressed
them few sentences. A singular event
followed. A dozen of the ringleaders al
once began haranguing the rioters In

drew. The besashed parsonage remained
in consultation with the governor and
when it was ended withdrew. An hour
later six covered wagons came to tho
bank and were laden with bags such as
the bank always makes use of in trans
porting specie.
When Barnato appeared as the dia-
mond king in South Africa, score Of
the communards, who had fed from
France, were in exile in the region
where Barnato had cornered the mines.
One day in the plenitude of his affiu-
ence he was waylaid, riding in the
Rand, by company of miners. One of
them, by a few words, succeeded in
gaining his private ear. This man was

thirsty gang who had taken part in the
killing of the hostages in La Roquette.
He recognized Barnato as the emissary
sent by the commune TO the Bank of
France, and the knowledge enabled him
to get in on the ground floor of the dia-
mond deal. The tale goes on to tell that
Barnato, who figured as Felix Barnette.
had fallen desperately in love with
figurante in the Folies Bergeres just as
the war Of 1870 broke out; that he had
fingered in Paris, became member of
one of the Red" societies, exploited
the ardent patriotism of his coworkers
and succeeded in getting several mix
lions of the cash he had forced from ths
Bank of France. The tale. whether
true or not, is by no means so improb-
able as the actual facts known in the
mans mastery of the African diamond
yields, for to do that he was forced to
put himself against such sohemers as
Cecil Rhodes and to contend with,
