THE DRAGONFLY.
A Beautiful insect of Great value to
the Human Race.
(Brom the New York 1Tribune.)

(From the New York Tribune.)
The impression prevails that dragon
files are more numerous this season thar
usual. The present is an especially up
propriate occasion, therefore, for giving
this interesting creature the yindication to
which 1t is entitled. 1t must beyoonfessed
that a man who goes about with q large
assortment of aliases comes under general
suspicion, and as the insect in question
does the same thing one may be excused
for desiring an explanation, In one local
ity 1t is known as the ''devil's darning
needle" in another the ''snake doctor, /"
In third the mosquito hawk else
where as ''the dnmsei hy'' while three
branches OF the family are registered on
the voting lists of their respective dis-
tricts as ''I.ibellula. . ''Aeschnida' and
"Agrionida.
1t should be remembered, however, that
most Of these names are conferred by ire
sponsible outsiders. and not assumed by
the dragon fly itself. And soma OF these
unauthorized appellations simply discred-
liable characteristics which a careful
scrutiny OF the insects conduct fails to
reveal They are clearly unjust. 1t has
been asserted, for instance, that the
''deviPs darning needle was used to sew
up the ears of Juvenile human beings.
Well. that Is an awful fih. 1t isn't so.
The slsnderness of the dragon hy's body
suggests to poetic imagination like
ness to a noodle. but il is base libel on
the inssot and a bit Of cruelty to a child
to repeat the familiar accusation here re-
ferred to.
a The title ''snake dsetor'' represents a
superstition, and Is based on the fact
that dragon flies have been seen lowering
over the bodies OF dead snakes. Tbs in

BODY AT ST. PET
ERSBURG.

st. Petersburg. July 24.--The Gear.
witches remains arrived here at O'Clock
this afternoon. The Czar and the Grand
Dukes carried the coffin to the funeral car
and the imposing procession started for
the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul
In the fortress, ohoristers and ecclesias-
tic bearing Lighted candles preceding the
car, which was drawn by eight horses.
Imperial pages walked on either side
with torches, and the Gar and Grand
Dukes and high officers Of state followed
on foot Then came coaches with the
Dowager Enipress and the Grand Duchess
and behind them marched large body
Of troops. Upon the arrival of the pro-
cession at the cathedral the body was
placed upon a catafalque and requiem
was performed In the presence OF the
royal family and the foreign ainbasss-
doris.
The body will lie In state for two or

FREE DELIVERY OF MAILS IN The
DEERING DISTRICT.

The time for putting the nav mall car.
rier service into operation In the ANNEXED
district is now approaching. 1t is proba.
BILE that the department VIII decide 10
abolish the six small offices In Deering
and that station viii re established at
Woodfords under the Jurisdiction Of the
general Office. This will tie the head
quartss of the carriers for the more popu-
lous portion of Deering. The free deliv-
cry will not be extened to oil parts Of the
annexed parts OF Portland as 1t Is not
thought advisable to carry this into
sparcely populated. outlying districts
such as Nnson's Corner and North Deer
ing and parts Of East DseFing.
StIondwater Village will probably be
brought into the free delivery system of
Portland proper.
1t ia thought likely that the present
Woodfords postmaster win be retained as
superintendent of the Woodfords station.
Probably under the new state of affairs
it will be necessary TO have three addi-
tonal carriers for the Deeirng district and
one more for Portland.
