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

4 Butterfly That Enjoys Only Five Hours
 of Life.
 It is i'll August that the naturalista observe the marvellous insect which is born, reproduces and dies ill the period of single night, on the banks of the Marne, of the Seine, and of the Rhine It 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. It dies to- ward 1 1 o'clock in the evening, after taking the form of a butterfly about six hours after midday. It is true, how ever, that before taking this form 1t has lived three years in that of worm, which keeps always near the border of water in the holes which it makes i'll the mud.
 The change of this worm ill the water 10 RI ephemere which flies is so sudden that one has not the time to see it. If one takes the worm ill 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 1t can he taken from the water before the change takes place.
 The ephemere. after leaving the water, seeks place where it can diveet itself of fine membrane or veil. which entirely covers it, This second change takes place i'l the air.
 1'he eph. sia assists itself with the point of it's little nails as firmly as 1t can. It makes a movement similar to that of Il sbiver, then the skin on tie middle of the back breaks apart, the wings slip out of their sheath, as we sometimes take eff our gloves by turn ipg them inside out. After this strip ping the ephemere begins to fly. Some times it hol@s itself straight up on the surface of the water on the end of it's tail, Tapping its wings one against the other 1t takes no nourishment ill 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 it's state of worm until it IS ready to deposit its eggs, and 1t dies as soon as they are deposited.
 h three days time one sees appear aud die all species of ephemeres. They last sometimes until the fifth day, for the U. .,e..Sen that some nalady has affect ed some Of them and prevents them from changing at the same time as ti1o others. -Exchangs.

SOME ROYAL DOGS.
Nearly All the soyereigns of Europe Are
 Fond of Canine Pets.

Fond of Canine Pets.
 Nearly every one of the soyereighs of Europe, it appears, has one or more pet dogs. The eollies of Queen Victoria the fox terriers of Princess Beatrice, with Jock as prime fayorite, are known at least by hearSay to every body.
 The emperor Of Russia is also great lover of dogs A London paper reports that he is always accompanied ill lis walks by couple of fine Danish hounds, whose strength and vigilance their master considers his best safe guard The grave czar 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 a bark to announce their intentions, will fly at the throat of any one whom their master may point out to them in case of need When the empress of Austria goes on 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 sportsman 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 reeapture any willy fish that may fall through the meshes of their nets or slip suddenly back into its element after ib has been once landed on board the barge Black is still rejoicing ill the days of his youth, but his record, not only as . common fisherman but as | fisher of men, " is already great, for he has saved no fewer than six persons from watsfy grave
 Some three or fonr years ago tha Grand Duke Alexis WAS staying at Biar1itz. One stormy night he went out ] on the cliff to get view of the angry sea. \ boat was just being wrecked be- low, and he saw | dog dashing with angry growls and harks into the water and bringing 10 land, one by one, thtes drowning men. while the crowd cheefed the brave mong1el to the echo. I'm grand duke apploacirti io oaless 5sse dog. and the animals master then offered Black 10 him. refusing to accept auy payment.-St. Louis Post Dispatch

CANNOT HOPE TO COMPETE

Cotton Industry knpihlv shifting from
New Eng and states to the south.
New YORK, Dec. 20. New England
is all II tlutter over the revelation that
cotton manufacturing in that section
is doomed, and that the industry is rap.
idly shifting to the south. Even the
opera tives in the mills see the force
OF the argument that with the
exceptional advantages of the south
New England cannot hope to COM
pete with the southern manufacturers
much longer, and the chances are that
the proposed general cut of ten per
cent. in wages, affecting nearly 100000
persons, will be accepted In the mean
time, the operatives, through the Fed.
GRAFTON of Labor, with which they are
affiliated, are seeking to unionize
their brethren in the south. with
view to etfecting an equalization in
conditions and wages. This, however,
probably is hopeless task, as to
acquiesce in the programme of
the New Enganders would check
industry at the south and ultimate.
ly work to the disadvantage of the
southern operatives. Manufacturers
of cotton goods in the north are thor
oughly alarmed at the prospect, and
many of the leading factors are cast
ing about in the south for building
locations, thus discounting the newt
able removal to that section.

IRRIGATION CANAL.
A Proposition for KecIaimmg the Arid
Lands Of ihe West

A Proposition for KecIaimmg the Arid
Lands o. The West
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 2l.-Gov. Leedy
has given his Endorsement to a scheme
proposed by Percy Daniels, Kansas
surveyor, for retaining the arid lands
OF the west by building canal from
the sources OF the Missouri to the Red
river in Texas The purpose of the
canal would be TO divert the food Of
waters Of the Missouri river, impound
them, and let them down when wanted.
The canal would tap the Missouri river
at Milk river, in Montana, and empty
into Red river in Texas. 1t would be
about LOO miles long and the esti-
mated cost is $500. 600, 900. To raise
this money the promoters of the
scheme urge that an income tax be i'm
DOsed.
