VERY HARD TO FIND.
Butterflies and Other Candy Moths.
When Asleep, Look Exactly
Like Their Beds.

The butterfly invariably goes to
sleep head downward, its eyes look
ing straight down the stem of the
grass. 1t folds and contracts its
wings to the utmost, partly, perhaps,
to wrap its body from the cold. But
the effect is to reduce its size and
shape to narrow ridge, making an
acute angle with the green stem,
hardly distinguishable in shape and
color from the seed heads on thou
sands of other stems around. Ii
also sleeps on top of the stem, which
increases its likeness to the natural
final of the grass.
Side by side with the "blues" sleep
the common "brown heaths." They
use the grass stems for beds, but less
carefully, and with no such obvious
solicitude to compose their limbs in
harmony with the eyes of the plant.
They also sleep with their heads
downward, but the body is allowed
to drop sideways from the stem like
leaf. This, with their light color
ing, makes them far more conspicu-
Gus than the blues. Moreover, as
grass has no leaves shaped in any
way like the sleeping butterfly, the
contrast OF shape attracts notice,
Can it be that the blues, whose bril-
liant coioring by day makes them
conspicuous to every enemy have
learned caution, while the brown
heaths, less exposed to risk, are less
careful of concealment?
Be it noticed that moths and but
terfies go to sleep in different atti-
tudes. Moths fold their wings back
upon their bodies, covering the lower
wing, which is usually bright in color
with the upper wing. They fold their
antennae back on the line of their
wings. Butterflies raise the wings
above their bodies and lay them back
to back, putting their antennae be-
tween them if they move them at all.

Newspapers in Melbourne and Sydney
have offered prizes for designs for ma
tional banner. The design shown in
this drawing was recently awarded a
prize, and is, so far, the favorite with
the public. The six red stripes stand
for the five states Of Australia and
Tasmania which are in the confedera-
ton. The union jack signifies the con-
nection with Great Britain, and the five
stars in the field are those of the south
ern cross, the best known of the south
ern consultations. Altogether it
means: The United States of Austria
liza under the rule of Great Britain, lit
BY the stars of the southern cross. The
contest, which was closed February 1,
excited the widest popular interest
throughout Australia. The adoption
Of the design will rest with the Austria
Ian congress.

Hon. David Meekison is well known.

out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive

was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress

ANCIEN4S Had SENSE.
Dated Beginning of Year from
Opening of Spring
When All Things in Nature Start
AfreSh.
Some Other Things In Which the Ancients
Have Given Us Points.

The ancients began their year with
the advent of spring. How much
more appropriate thus to begin the
New Year with the new life of ma.
ture in the awakening spring. At
this season all processes throughout
the natural world start afresh.
The ancients also showed their
sagacityand appreciation of the great
changesand active processesof SPRING
time, by realizing that this is also the
time for renewed life and energy in
the human system. They we'll knew
that the blood should be cleansed
from impurities and the nerves rein
vigorated at this season. Hence the
establishment of the custom of taxi
Ing good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy
custom is followed by almost every
body at the present day, few people
of intelligence venturing to go
through this trying time of change
from winter to summer without TAX
ing a spring medicine.
The unanimity on this subject is a
settled fact; the only question hereto.

THE SATURDAY NIGHT BATH.

/ am little Teller who
Loves swimmin, like all fellers do,
And all my mother talks about
My glttln drown'd cant keep me out
And when it's hot six times day
I'm in the pond. The fellers say
l beat a duck But amt 1t queer
When I'm In swimmin' half the year
To be a-scared of water when
Ma says. Come, Lohnnie Little men
Must all be clean for Sunday and
The tub Is ready Understand"
It's awful hard, but ma don't care.
And walks me in the kitchen where
i have to strip myself and get
Right in that tub Of water wet.
While mother, in her apron long,
And sleeves tucked up, and o, so strong,
Just rubs and scrubs with soap on thick,
No matter how l yell and kick.
"My starsr' she says, 81 never knew
A boy could get so dirty, You
Must wallow In it." Then she rubs
And digs in tender spots and scrubs
Twice harder spite of all my cries.
And gets the soapsuds in my eyes,
And then howl, cause, O. 1t smarts
Like fury, and then mother parts
My eyelids and blows in 'em till
The hurt is gone, and then she'll spill
Cold water on me so | won't
Catch cold, she says, ard yellin don't!
You'll kill me-" will not make her stop,
Nor kickin', though | make slop.
o, dear! It's awful freezin'. Then
"You're clean" ma says, Jump out, an(
when
I'm quick as llghtnin' out the tub
She takes towel and she'll rub
So fearful rough II takes the skin
Most off and makes more yells begin
And when she stops, from toes to head
All over I'm steamin' red.
And feelin' splendid everywhere
1t beats our swimmln' hole for fair.
Then mother hustles me right in
My canton flannel night gown clean
Made like bathin suit entire
And warm from hangin' by the fire.
Then off a shoutln' in my glee
j race upstairs and mother, she
Comes laughin after me and then
Beside my crib kneel and when
My Now l lay me" prayer Is said
Ma tucks me snug and warm in bed,
And with loving goodnight kiss
Leaves me to close my eyes in bliss.
A Teller hates bath like fun
And always kicks-but when it's done
He feels so awful nice and clean
And fine and scrumptious and serene
That he's just glad his mother made
Him take 1t. Huh! If he's afraid
or washln' then he shouldn't play
Out in the dirt-that's what say.

Prof. Boutan has succeeded in max
ing snap shot photographs of fish in
the sea, at a depth of about nine feet.
His plan is to let down into the water
white sheet and then attract the fish
in front of it by judicious distribu,
ton of toothsome bait. The object of
the proceeding is to increase our
knowledge Of the movements of fish
when not constrained by artificial sur
roundings or confinement. 1t has been
proposed to lower cameras two or
three miles in the sea and make photo
graphs there by fashiight, but the
enormous pressure at such depths
would, it is objected, crush the appar-
atus.

AUSTRALIANS FLAG.
Adopt n Design Patterned After
the Stars and Stripes.

Every country finds distinctive ma
tional flag a necessity. The United
States had very little trouble in design
ing one for itself The colonial flag
which consisted of 10 red and white
stripes and the union jack on blue
field, was made over into a very salts
factory banner by leaving off the union
jack and filing in the fed with white
stars.
Australia. whose government was
changed from that of colony to
confederation of states on the 1st of
January, has as yet no official flag to
distinguish the country among nations.

An Akron Mans Plan to Raise the

SALOONS we will always have-but

1T can be easily done he went on

There surely is food for reflection
in the ideas the speaker advanced.
He favors the enactment Of a law
which will make it practically impos-
sible for the riff-raff class to engage in
the saloon business. This could be
done by requiring an applicant for
q liquor dealers license to be himself
a taxpayer and to have the endorse
ment of fve'or six reputable taxpaying
citizens of his ward. before license
was granted him.
This would not AFFECT the better
class of saloonkeepers and would

business TO higher level. Tue brew

OF men to run their business.
With the abolition Of dives and low
class saloons which would follow the
enactment of such law. there would

come a reduction of business in the
criminal courts: there would come
an increase of business to the smaller
cities for less money would be sent
out of the city.
Take Akron for an example," said
the Democrats informant From
this city 100000 is sent away every
year to pay for beer shipped in here,
though purer and better beer Is
made right here at home. Two hum
dred thousand dollars in circulation
here would mean more to Akron than
would the location of a large factory
here. 1t takes a big concern to have
an annual payroll of that amount.
Another point in this connection is
that the out of town brewers who
come in here, buy saloons and set
them running, contribute to Akron
in no way. Except for their licenses
they pay practically no taxes. Their
ice houses Or ware houses are cheap
structures. TLey employ little II any
local labor. If additions are 10 be

Without food, without clothing and

Pestilence followed famine. Cholera

Daniel Manin BECAME a prisoner Of
war. Conquered, humiliated and heart
broken he heard the words that exiled
him forever from his native land, from
his beloved Venice, and as the sails
were unfuried that bore him away he
looked for the last time upon the
domes and towers, upon 'the green
waters and the azure heavens" His
sorrow, his anguish knew no bounds;
heartsick and weary of life, he cast
himself down and wept aloud in his
grief. Manin had failed in the one
ambition of his life, but he failed in
grand and noble cause.
The world too often judges the
worth of men. by the visible successes
that may have been theirs. The silent
forces, which contribute to the pro-
motion of human happiness pass only
too often unnoticed by the careless
vision of mankind. The story of the
world is emDellishcd by an occasional
reference to the unselfshpess of noble
men, whose devotion and self-sacrifice
! find no echo In the hearts of the living
or of posterity. The great teacher,
! the perfect man, who suffered an
lgnominous death on the cross, was
despised by his contemporaries and
is rejected even today by millions
whose hearts are untouched by his
sublime example; yet these forgotten
or rejected forces work on silently but
surely and their worth will be re-
cognzed more and more MS time
passes. The destiny of the world, be
1t for good or evil is effectually shaped
by the silent or hidden forces rather
than by the flashes of occasional aud
transient genius.
Daniel Manin was one Of the men
whose influence in the world never
perlshes, whose voice from the
sepulchre defends the cause to which
his existence was devoted. His achiev-
