takes the greatest interest in the
bringing up of her little daughters.
Some years since society was very
much disturbed by the case of lit

cidentally found to be covered with
bruises inflicted by brutal nurse.
The duchess Of Fife said to a lady

THE CUBAN BAG-WORM.
Queer Insect Which Carries It's House
with 1t Whenever Ii Decides
to Move

There is a certain species of cater
pillar that not only litters the out
side of its home with twigs and
small bits of wood, but also has the
power of taking its shelter with it
whenever it decides to move. 1t is
habit peculiar to the bag-worm, or
householder moth, caterpillar
found in certain parts of Cuba.
The bag-worm first weaves for its
use silken sac. 1t then collects all
kinds of splinters and tiny wood
fragments, which are fastened in
some way to the outside of the sac.
There it makes it's home until fully
matured, at which period it enters
the sac entirely, and is changed to n
grub or pupa. Here the female "a
grub-like creature without wings)
Savannah courier. (Savannah, Tenn.) 1885-1979, 1901-05-10


lays her eggs, remaining inside till
death. The male pupa, however, has
a better future, for in a short while
it works its way out from the lower
end of the sac, and then, by some
process similar to that of the butter
fly, is changed to beautiful moth,
with brightly-colored wings, having
white stripes across its back. This.
of course, ends it's career as a bag
worm.
1t is before it is grown that the
bag-worm lives in its portable home
and has the habit of moving from
place to place. This is done by
stretching forth the body, getting a
foothold, and crawling along with
the sac dangling behind. This would
seem awkward; and, indeed, the bag
worm presents peculiar appearance
crawling from limb to limb, and al.
most pulled off by its load of wood.
In this way, though, it is not only
sure of home, but the entrance is
so constructed that the sides can be
pulled together, thus affording pro-
lection in time of attack. 1t seems
strange, though, that when the bag
W ,rm is almost grown the sac hangs
down from the body; when young, it
is carried in straight line with it.
These caterpllars are naturally a
source of much wonder to the ma
tives of Cuba, who are superstitious
regarding worm which litters its
house with so much wood, and this in
country where fire for the sake of
warmth is not necessity. The old
Spanish legend has it that bag-worms
are the incarnation of llindling-wood
thieves, who now, after death, must
carry on their backs their load o.
plumber. thus atoning for their thef,s
until they become moths.

APRIL WEATHER.


Soon, all, soon the April weather
With the sunshine at the door,
And the mellow melting rain-wind
Sweeping from the south once more;
Soon the rosy NAPLES budding,
And the willows putting forth,
Misty crimson and soft yellow
In the valleys of the North;
Soon the hazy purple distance,
Where the cabined heart takes w.iig'
Eager for the old migration
In the magic of the spring;
Soon. all, soon the budding windflowers
Through the forest white and frail
And The odorous wild cherry
Cleaning in her ghostly veil;
Soon about the waking uplands
The hepaticss in blue
Children Of the first warm sunlight
In their sober Quaker hue
All our shining little sisters
OF the forest and the field,
Lifting up their quiet faces
With the secret half revealed;
Soon across the folding twilight
OF the round earth hushed to hear.
The first robin at his vespers
Calling far, serene and clear.

PUTTING ON A SHIRTWAIST.
A Valuable Hint for Nent Dressers
by One Who Does 1t
Properly.

WIN the ARRIVAL OF spring the
feminine mind turns to the question
of shirt waists. Are they or are
they not to be worn again this sim
mer? Fashion gives its opinion that
they are to be worn. This will be
the greatest shirt waist season of all.
says writer in the New York Her.
aid.
can hear the sigh of content that
goes up from many an anxious wom-
ans heart. What makes the shirt
waist so popular? AS simple looking
as it is, shirt waist takes as much
time to put on properly as an even
ing dress.
l say properly advisedly, for there
are ways and ways of putting on
shirt waist. A woman never looks so
trinity dressed, so altogether "chip-
per" as she does in shirt waist that
is well put on, or so slouchy as in one
that is badly put on, and for the sake
of those dear women who for lack of
knowledge or inspiration have never
learned to do the thing properly l
give here few rules which if fol-
lowed to the letter will guarantee a
"shirt waist figure" to those who
have dreamed of one, but have here
tofore had no personal acquaintance
with it.
My method is my own peculiar in
vention, and have shared the secret
with only chosen few till now,
when my conscience no longer al
lows me to hide it from the feminine
world.
First, then, take the corset you are
wearing, straight front, of course,
for they can be bought now in the
cheaper models as well as the mos:
expensive, and just at the end of the
eyelets, at the bottom of the corset,
sew a loop of inch wide ribbon on
either side.
Now put on your shirt waist
fastening it with the tiny pearl but
tons which are to be so fashionable
this summer, and tie your stock, taxi
ing care to lap it neatly in the back.
Then, with two small safety pins,
pin the belt of your shirt waist at the
back to the loop of ribbon as tight
as you can stand it without being I'M
comfortable or making yourself feel
like horse with too tight a check
rein.
Now take your hand mirror and
turn around and look at your back.
Did You ever get quite that fat effect
before? Did your shirt waist ever fit
SO smoothly between the shoulders?
For my own waists always have the
belt sewed down just to the side
seams and then hanging free, so that
] may plat the front of the waist to
suit myself.
Smooth the waist down well, then
under the arms and over the hips,
and pin it on each side. Then plait
the fullness left into side plaits, and
If you are thin enough to stand it
blouse it little in front.
Now fasten the loose ends of your
belt, and there you are, / warrant
you, with better shirt waist figure
than you ever dreamed could be
yours.
The problem of how to pin shirt
waist down remained long unsolved
TO me, until l evolved this method
from nfy inner consciousness, but
had my reward when friend to
whom I had whispered my secret said
TO me last summer: "Do you know.
the most valuable present you ever
made me was your method of putting
ON a shirt waist?"

The School for Scandal" which iS considered as Sheridan. $ greatest play. will be presented by Mr. R. D. Mac Lean. Miss Odette Tyler, and their eX- cellent company next Wedesday night. November 21, at the opera house. Some perveYse critics have found fault with what they call the moral tone of the play. but these critics should re- member that the comedy is what it's title impled-a reflex of the manners, customs and habits of the smart set of Sheridan,s time. There are good people as well s#bad ones in the smart set but the former do not pa rade their real yortues. whereas the hypocrite of the play, Joseph Surface, tries to make capital out of his assumed virtues which have no existence in fact, and are only the cloak for other designs In the end the hypocrites and Vindictiye characters come tG grief and the good fellows are suit ably rewarded by the course of events so the moral is all right Mr. Mac Lean and Miss Tyler, as Charles Sur face and Lady Teazle. are most ably supported by their splendid company of actors

The Social Rank of Cabinet Officers


 The social rank of each cabinet of ficer is rechoned according to his standing in the order of succession to the presidency which is arranged ac- cording to the age of each executive department. The state department having been the first executive branch of the government created the secre tary of state is the official and social head of the cabinet and the first of it's members to succeed to the presi- dency. in the event of the death of both president and vice president If the president, vice president and sec retary of state were all to die before their successors had been appointed the secretary of the treasury would become president, because his is the second oldest of the executive depart ments. This right to succession ex- tends in turn to the secretary of war, attorney general, postmaster general. secretary of the navy, and lastly to the secretary of the interior. This gradation thus indicates the social rank of each cabinet officer in his own circle.-Ladies Home Journal for November
