have not been able satisfactorily to di-

discoveries, has failed in every attempt

TWO CLASSES OF READERS

Those Who Like Dickens and Those Who
Adore Thackeray.
"About Is years ago readers used to
be divided roughly into two classes
those who liked Dickens and those who
'adored Thackeray, - writes the critic
Droch in The Ladies' Home Journal.
Each class used to view the other with
more or less contempt. Of the two the
Thackeray people felt themselves consid-
erably superior to the Dickens people.
There were not so many of them, for
one thing, and that in itself gave them
a feeling of exclusiveness something
like the attitude assumed by George
Meredith's admirers of the present day.,
But Thackeray's complete works for
$500 rapidly abolished the aristocracy.
Artificial barriers do not long count for
much with great writer.
"You no doubt very soon found out
that in certain moods there was nothing
more satisfying to you than 'Pendennis,
and at another time the best novel that
you ever read was David Copperfeld.
I have no DOUBT that in the long run
deep in your heart you will cherish a
finer affection for the one than the other.
That is matter of temperament and
your surroundings. The one you like
best fits best into your life as you are
making it. You will discover that a
change of scene or occupation often
brings you into sympathy with a writer
whom you never before appreciated. A
great sorrow will sometimes reveal
George Eliot to you; little journey in
England will show you new beauties in
Trollope; wave of war feeling in Eu.

Max Hempel Of st. Louis lectured De-
fore fair-sized audience at Turner HAL E1ltlt
Monday evening. His subject was vas
4Christianity and Civilization and ne
handled it in scholarly and entertain IN
ing manner. His principal assertion was
to the effect that our present civilization
is not due to Christianity, as IS 50 often
claimed, but, on the contrary, to causes
that are quite independent Of, IN tact
opposed to, Christianity. He cited MS
torical facts to establish the assertion
and made comparison of the Christian
and AIohammedan religions to show that
the followers of the latter had attained
higher civilization iii a few hundred
years than the Christian nations had In
the same time. In the ninth century for
example the Mohammedan civilization
led the world in science, art, literature,
poetry and philosophy. The speaker
then gave his idea of the real cause OF
our present civilization, namely, the
awakening of science in the 10Th cen
fury. Science, be said,s had always met
with the opposition of the Christian
church and had ever beer compelled to
fight its way in spite of it. He closed
his fine address with an attempt to prove
that Christianity was not in harmony
with the civilization of the day. On the
contrary, he said, the morals of the New
Testament we're not practiced and in
many cases could not be.

SOME THIN G. ABB OUT. BEETLES


Their strange Habits, Instincts and Mean.
Of Getting Food.
You are all familiar with the common
black beetle Known as the tumblebur,
and perhaps may have seen it rolling q
ball with its hind legs, pushing it back
ward. The ball contains the egg Of the
beetle, and the creature is taking It to
place Of safety.
A green beetle spotted with white il
called the tiger beetle. He is q clever
fellow and very cunning in his manner
Of securing his prey. He will dig q hole
q foot in depth and then crawl to the
top and form himself into a bridge
across the chasm, burying his head II
such q manner as to appear like some
thing inanimate, but he will be on the
alert for the unwary creature that
makes an attempt to cross on his back.
In an instant the bridge will give way
and the prey will be precipitated into
the hole. The beetle will follow and
quickly dispatch the game, when be
will return, reform the bridge and al
lure another victim.
Old fashioned furniture is often com.
pletely ruined by the larvae Of beetle
called the anobuim. A peculiar sound
like the ticking of clock is made by
these beetles when they call to each
other, the noise being made by striking
the jaws against their resting place, and
often in old houses filled with old fur
niture the superstitious, when they hear
this peculiar sound, imagine the place
to be haunted. ....++
Another beetle is found in dark eel
lars, where it thrives upon dust and
trash. It is so difficult to exterminate it
that it, is looked upon as something I'M
canny, and the ignorant regard it's pres
ence as an ill omen. -.
The sacred beetle of Egypt is not un-
like our own common beetle, and the
female lays her egg in the same way,
wrapped in substance which is to pro-
tect it and furnish food. She rolls it up
into ball with her fore legs, sometimes
carrying it long distance upon her
head; digs hole in the earth, deposits
her egg laden ball, covers it up, and
leaves it to attain it's perfect develop
ment.
The sexton beetle is a curious crea-
ture. He has thick body and powerful
limbs and most acute sense of smell.
No sooner does small animal die than
the sections gather about the body and
begin to put earth upon it. In a few
hours the dead animal has been covered
and the beetles have laid their eggs in
the carcass, which is to nourish the
larvae
A remarkable creature is the bonn
barber beetle, and it is provided with
strange means of defense. It lives in
a community under stones, and when
disturbed discharges fluid of very
penetrating odor, much like gas, which
explodes as it comes in contact with the
air and passes into vapor. Eighteen ex-
plosions can be made in succession by
one bombardier, and while these are
being thrown off like volley of artil-
lery the beetle effects it's escape. The
fluid is like nitric acid to the taste. It
causes sharp pain if placed upon the
tongue and leaves a yellowish STAIN

A WORD IN LIMBS BEHALF,
A Reader ofthe Review, q Christian Lady,
Speaks in His Defense.

The following communication was re-
ceiyed from lady reader of the Review
Yesterday:
have read of Mr.. Lind's case with
interest, and cannot refrain from put
tiny in a word in behalf of right and
iustice. He is accused Of being an inti-
del, chiefly on account of his being a
member of the Turner Society Of New
Ulm. In New Ulm this society happens
to consist of members, most of whom are
said to be atheists. Does it therefore
follow that all the members are atheists
As all know, this society has nothing to
do with the question of religion. There
lore it IS neither fair nor just to base the
accusations against Mr.. Lind upon the
fact that he is a member of such socie
tv. If it were in Chicago, or La Crosse,
or any other place, where these societies
exist and where the question of religion
is not raised (no more than it is in New
Tim, except that talk makes it appear
SOY it would not, and in fact could not,
be used as evidence against him. How
ever, stronger evidence for him is
found in the fact that Mr.. Lind has
been known to rise with protested chris
tians in the Congregational church OF
this city. This ought to convince any
one, that he is not an infidel. And that
Mr.. Lind is an honorable man everyone
knows.
Other evidence used against him is
the fact that he has expressed himself
literally, something which most honor
able men generally do. We know, 200,
that our thoughts are generally more
liberal than our expressed beliefs, When
a man has the courage, therefore, to ex-
press his true sentiments, which are Oft
lines the hidden thoughts of many peo-
pie, should he be made the victim of un-
charitable critl cism?
