be applied to bugs. Seine of the latter
are useful, few are ornamental and
all OF them are interesting to the
scientist.
That bugs are addicted to kissing is
a recent discovery perhaps, it
would be better to say, invention. For,
after nine-days' wonder about its os-
culatory exploits, the "kissing-bug'
yesterday found champion and de-
fender. Prof. Chope of the Field mu-
scum. as reported in The Daily News,
may be said TO have done tardy Justice
to the harmless "kissing-bug," which,
the professor explains, is "a semi-trop-
zeal creature, found in plenty in Ken
lucky. and he rarely leaves the borders
of that state. His Junction. adds the
professor. "in nature is to destroy the
large worms which infest cotton plants
He is a very useful member of society
and cotton growers would not think of
killing him."
The Kentucky citizenship of the
kissing bug" effectually disposes of
the story of its newly developed pro-
pensity. The monalestes picipes was
first heard of in its new role in Wash
ington. ID. c. That a Kentucky bug OF
osculatory habits would leave a state
noted for its beautiful women and be-
gin kissing career in Washington is
not reasonable. That he should come
to Chicago, granting that he has started
on the new career ascribed to him.
would be natural. considering the many
attractions in this line this city has to
offer. But. unfortunately for the ma
lignerS of an honest bug. Prof. Chope
says it always makes a practice of
keeping away from human beings and
he very prosaicllly ascribes to "spid-
ers' the effects heretofore attributed to
the slandered bug.
in addition, the professor has as yet
been unable to find in the varied selec-
ton of bugs daily offered for his in
spection a single kissing bug" Any
person having one Of the latter can sc.
cure place for it in the Field museum
as curiosity. And thus science comes
to the aid of virtue, and the Kentucky
bug will hereafter be permitted to go
its way and attend to it's legitimate
function in protecting the cotton crop
no longer disturbed by the slanderous
reports lately set in circulation as to
its supposed habit.

OF them are thus described by Mrs.
van Rensselaer, in the Century: And
the noise of Niagara? Alarming
things have been said about it, but
they are not true. 1t is a great and
mighty noise. but it is not, as Henne-
pin thought. an outrageous noise. 1t
is not roar 1t does not drown the
voice or stun the ears. Even at the
actual foot Of the falls it is not OPP

the sound of heavy surf-steadier,
more homogeneous. less metallic. very

The Camel's Eve.

The Nile is essentially a river of
silence and mystery. Even the camels
turn their beautiful soft eyes upon you
as if you were intruding upon their
silence and reserve. Never were the
eyes in human head so beautiful as
a camel's. There is limpid sOftness
in their expression which drags at your
sympathies like the look in the eyes of
n hunchback. 1t means that. with
your opportunities, you might have
done more with your life. Your mother
looks at you that way sometimes in

particularly raw nerve in your spiritual
makeup. | always feel like apologize

and speak as if cheerfulness were al
ready there. If such conduct doesn't
make you soon feel cheerful, nothing
else on that occasion can. So to feel
brave, act as if We were brave, use all
our will to that end, and a courage fit
will very likely replace the fit of fear.
Again. in OrLer to feel kindly toward a
person to whom We have been inimical,
the only way is more or less deliberate
ly to smile, to make sympathetic en-
