A PIRATES FITTING END.
The Buccaneer LOlonnois Tortured to
Death by Indians,


In st. Nicholas. in his series OF
sketches of "The Buccaneers OF Our
Coast" Mr.. Frank r. Stockton tells
Of the adventures of L'Olonnois, the
Frenchman, While consting along
Honduras, L'Olonnois ran his vessel
ashore. Mr.. Stockton says:
As it was impossible to get their
great vessel off the sand banks the pi-
rates set to work to break her up and
build boat out Of her planks. But
when they began the work they had no
idea it would take so long to build u
boat. 1t was months before the I'M
wieldly craft was finished, and they
occupied pnrt OF the time in garden
ing, planting French beans, which
were ripe in about six weeks. and
gave them some fresh vegetables.
They also had some Of the ships
stores, aud made bread, thus manug-
ing to live very well.
I.'Olonnois was never intended by
nature to be boat-builder, and when
the boat was finished, 1T was discovered
that it had been planned ~ badly
that il would not hold them all, SD
they drew lots to sec who should en-
bark in her, for one.half of them would
have to stay until the others came
back. OF course L'Olonnois went in
the boat, aud he reached tho mouth Of
the Nicaragua river. There his party
was attacked by some Spaniards and
Indians, who killed more than half OF
them, and prevented the others from
landing L'Olonnois and the rest OF
his men got safely away, and they
might have sailed back to tho island
where they had left their comrades,
for there was now room enough for
thcm all. But instead they went to
the coast Of Cartagena.
The pirates left on the island by
their heartless companions were res-
cued by buccaneering vessel, but
L'Olonnois had nw reached the end
of his wicked career.
On the shores where he landed no
did not find prosperous villages and
peaceful inhabitants to be robbed, but
instead Of these he came upon fierce
tribe OF Indians, who were called by
the Spaniards "Bravos" or wild men.
These people would never have any
thing to do with tho whites. II was
impossible to conquer them or to paci-
fly them. They hated white men. They
had heard of L'Olonnois and his buc-
cancers, and when they found this no.
torious pirate upon their shores they
were filled with fury such as they
hnd never felt toward any others Of
his race.
Nearly all Of the buccaneers were
killed, and L'Olonnois, being taken
prisoner. was put to death with most
cruel fortunes "a fate Of which he had
no right to complain.

molten metal poured on the animals

The pig uttered piercing squeal
and made dash forward. Mowen
laughed loudly enough to perforate
the spot with JOY. The idea had
worked like charm.
The pig hesitated a moment after
starting off; then, rs IL understanding
the situation perfectly, he walked
through the lower rungs of the
ladder. His head got through all
right, but his body was too big. The
resultwas that ladder, Mowen, solder

The pig escaped uninjured, bnt
Mowen's arm was broken and he sus-
tanned severe bruises on the head, face
and body. Friends heard his cries
and came to his assistance, He was

his condition is regarded as serious.

and the reyengeful creature again is

Mr.. Mowen doesn't think his trouble

trade, and anybody who talks TO him

ladder that broke" receives n cold re-

The Feet,

A contemporary points out one or
two facts regarding the feet that can
not be too widely known. We all
know that our feet spread, and take it
quite ns u matter of course; but it
seems that, after all, there is no neces-
sity for their doing 30. They spread be-
cause we do not know how to rest them
properly. The feet do not grow, but
by resting them in the wrong way the
muscles have been permitted to take
a wrong direction, and the foot fiat
tens. When woman finds that the
instep of the foot is tired, she should
change her stockings for thin ones,
and put on slippers with totally diff
ferent heel from that OF the shoes she
took of, either higher or lower, as the
case may be. Then she should lie
down, turn upon her face, and place Il
pillow under the insteps Of both feet,
so that every inch Of the breadth Of
her feet should rest upon the pillow.
When this is done, the foot is at ease.
The muscles rest and strengthen, and
the beautiful arch of the instep is pre-
served. Possibly some may think this
is nonsense, but let them try the above
plan OF resting when very tired, and
they will be surprised to find out how
successful II really is.-New York
Ledger.

A BEAUTIFUL NEW SILK.
Made by communal Butterflies" but It
Cannot Be Spun Yet.

| Cannot Be Spun Yet.
Some very remarkable bugs are be.
ing Matched and reared just at present
by the experts of the government
bureau of entomology at Washington.
Most people would suppose that there
were enough insects in existence with
out resorting to artificial propagation;
but the fact is that this kind of scen-
tific work has very useful purpose in
view. This, too, Notwithstanding the
| fact that the species selected for breed
ing are the most pestiferous that can
befound, says writer in the Boston
Transcript.
The bug hatchery, or "insectary,"
as it is called, is a brick building close
by the department Of agriculture. In
construction il resembles green
house, the upper part being of glass,
80 as to admit plenty Of light for the
insects. 1t is divided into two COM
partments, one of which is artifcially
heated for the benefit of tropical and
other species that require warmth,
while the other is cold. On shelves
all around the interior, and on the
floor as well, are glass jars and queer
glass-sided boxes containing great
variety of odd-looking objects.
The objects in the glass jars are
parts of plants, fruits, dried.up vege-
tables, pieces of branches or roots,
etc. One does not see any bugs at
all, aud the reason why is simply that
the vegetables, fruits and so forth are
the natural food OF the insects, and the
latter are either inside of them or else
are "done up" in cocoons for the win.
ter.
For example, there is huge cocoon
nine inches long hanging from twig
, in jar of exceptional size. This is
the temporary communal dwelling
built by the so. called "gregarious but
terhy" in Mexico. More correctly
speaking, it is the caterpilars-trans-
formed later into butterflies--that
construct the cocoon for residence
while they are undergoing their meta
morphosis. The cocoon looks and
feels as il made of thick parchment,
and at the lower end of it is small
hole that serves for door. The labor
employed in building it must be enor-
nous. Under powerful magnifying
glass it is hsen to be composed of an
infinite nu.nber Of shining and very
slender silken threads, crossing each
other in every direction. When cut
/ into. tho nest is found to contain one
hundred or more chrysalids, attached
to the walls on the inside each one
representing future butterfly.
The habit of combining together to
build house seems to be peculiar to
this species among butterflies. The
silk composing the nest is exquisite,
and from twenty to twenty-five sheets
of it can be stripped off from the
great cocoon, looking rs if woven in
loom. If tho silk could only be
spun, the ''gregarious butterfly
would soon displace the silkworm,
and the silks and satins Of commerce
would be of butterfly manufacture.
Unfortunately, the difficulty romans
unsolved though many attempts in
this direction have been made. Could
q solution of the problem be found,
silk would become at once enormously
less costly, inasmuch as the cocoons
of this kind of butterfly are to be
gathered in immense numbers as a
wild crop in the forests Of Mexico.
