SAVES HER FATHER,

Arton the cunning tool of the greater
conspirators in the famous Panama
bribery scandals, has recently been re-
leased from a French prison, after serv-
ing four Of the five years to which he
was sentenced. His pardon is due to
the untiring efforts Of his daughter,
Mile. Arton, whose beauty and earn

Friends. 1t is hung from the branch
like an inverted bottle, so as to be

curious thing about the baya bird is
that it is said to light up its nest by
sticking fire flies on its sides with
clay or soft mud. There seems to be
little doubt of the fact. DR.. Buchanan
says: AT night each of the habitations
is lighted up by a freely stuck in the
TOP with a piece of clap. The nest
consists of two rooms; sometimes
there are three or four ~frefies and

eyes of the bats, which often destroy

HE EARNED HIS MEDAL.
Heroic Act of a Stoker on a British
Warship.

Towards the end Of the year 1897
the British torpedo-boat Thrasher.
with it's mates Lynx and Sunflsh, left
st. Ives on a passage to Falmouth. On
the way the Thrasher grounded on a
point. causing serious injury to the
boilers and the bursting OF the main
feed-pipe. The burst pipe instantly
filled the stokehold with scalding
steam. In it were two stokers. Ed
ward Lynch and James Paul. All the
rest of the boats company were land
ed on the rocks, but the doubling I'D,
OF the deck had prevented the egress'
of the stokers by the s~tarboard hatch
way. There was still a port hatch
way, which was partially closed, and
towards this the two men made their
way, Lynch in the lead. Directly I'm
der the hatchway and d%ischarging
through 1t, was the break in the steam
pipe. Lynch rush through it safely,
and turned to help his mate Paul.
But an instant convinced him that
Paul was unable to follow. Then
Lynch lay down on the deck with his
head and face in the escaping steam,
seized hold of the sinking Paul. and
by a remarkable exercise of force and
tenacity drew hin up on the deck.
Lynch then rose to his feet, but it
was observed that he was badly scald-
ed about the head, arms and upper
part Of the body. The surgeon began
to apply oil and wool to his burns. but
he repealed the attention. I'm all
right" he exclaimed; "look after my
chum! He's very bad!" He had said,
nothing about the way he had rescued
Paul, but his manly conduct led the
surgeon to investigate, and it was as
certained that, in order to rescue his
comrade, he had plunged the whole
upper part of his body into what was
practically a boiling cauldron. More
than this, it appeared that Lynch had
previously sacrificed his W chance
Of escaping from the ~stokehold the
other way in order to stay with Paul.
In recognition of this act of s~elfsac-
rifice and bravery, Lynch was pre-
scented with the Albert Medal of the
first class, which is given primarily
for gallantry in saving or attempting
to save life at sea, and in some cases,
for similar acts ashore.

The Coming Bug.

I talked with a man last week who

potato beetles that are, in one sense,
becoming immune to poisons, writes a
contributor to Rural New Yorker. He
thinks the failure to kill the beetle
may not be wholly due to adultera-
tons in Paris green. 1t actually takes
stronger doses to kill the insects. AS
we we'll know, there are arsenic eaters
who have taken the poison for years.

they can safely eat a quantity that
would kill an ordinary person. Noun
tain climbers " guides in hilly coun-
tries have become so far immune to
the poison that they safely eat it, as it
helps their wind" The theory is
that, by means of natural selection"
the beetles best able to stand the poi
son are left each year for breeders.
This, kept On long enough, would re-
suit in a breed of beetles that could eat
Paris green without a serious stom-
ach ache. Some light, indolent man,
who has been bred and fed for genera
tons as a high liver" would be per-
fectly happy after eating a quantity of
rich food that would destroy the happi-
ness of a farmer. These feeding hab-

Man Who Told the Truth.

"hh VIM lou the truth
There was a man who said, one day,
Unto himself: Hereafter l
Shall not be base enough to say
A single word that is a lie;
The truth I'll tell to each and all,
To high and low and great and small!'
And so he bravely started out,
His heart was strong his spirit bold;
OF all the things he talked about
The truth and nothing else was told;
He scorned the tricks Of speech
through which
Men make themselves adored and rich.
He told the whole truth, nothing more,
And when they bore him home that
night,
HIS race was battered up and sore,
And he was what is called a sight,
He'd lost his job, his friends were few,
But he had learned a thing or two.

KEROSENE BEESWAx NOW.

Handsome Wax Candles.

Handsome Wax Candles.
The busy little bee was long ago
cheated out of his monopoly in the
honey-making business by artificial
honey manufacturers. Now he is left
to improve the shining hour as best he
may, for his corner on wax is rapidly
slipping away from him. Paraffine, a
product of crude petroleum, is taking
the place of beeswaX in commerce very
largely, and half the wax" candles of
today are of pure para1tne and never
saw the inside of a beehive. Whiting,
Ind, just over the southern line of
Chicago, is the place where this wax is
made. The paratine works are quite
distinct and apart from the oil refinery
and is quite a large plant in itself. The
oil treated here is the residual oil, "

ed practically worthless by an outsider.

check this evil. Uniformity OF legislation in

The best service which can be rendered to
labor is to AFFORD 1t an opportunity for

give 1t every encouragement for advance

the true American policy. The past three
