BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.
Pennsylvania Man Says That the Piece of Lead Causes Him No

James Callan, an inmate of the AL toona (Pa.) hospital, is probably the only man living and apparently in good health with bullet in his brain. He attempted suicide on August IA, and fired a 3s-caliber bullet into his head. For time he hovered between life and death, and no attempt was made to probe for the bullet. Then he began to recover rapidly. His mind became

cept to fight caterpillars. It would rather fight than eat, and whenever il fights it eats, so that it takes an en- thusiastic interest in the campaign. Its appetite would be disgraceful in a bug of less exemplary pursuits. There is a specimen in the Philadel- phia North American office, says that paper, which has devoured more than ten times it's weight in caterpillars in one day.
 But the most remarka ble thing about this ferocious insect is it's meth cd of attack. It does not use sharp claws, like some beetles, nor poison, like spiders. It has little way of it's own.
 Fastened by a flexible joint to the lower part of the body is a lance and with this deadly weapon the bug does rapid execution. It attacks a cater pillar like torpedo boat attacking an unprotected cruiser. It creeps on it's prey quietly, then makes a sudden rush. Raising itself when near the victim, it lets the lance drop forward, then leaps upon the poor, fuzzy thing and drives the sharp point home.
 There follows violent struggle, of course. The caterpillar squirms and twists and rolls itself about, but the lance holds and there is no escape.
 The bug does not let go until it has satisfied itself Gradually the form of the caterpillar shrinks and when it's little enemy withdraws the lance and backs away there is only the skin of the worm left.
 The bug is about three-eighths of an inch long and oval in shape. It has six legs and two delicate feelers. The back is curiously marked, the front part being light brown, the back part dull yellow. There are markings in black, in which may be traced cari- cature of a Japanese face. Under meath the insect is colored light yellow and light green.

THE ISSUE IN CONGRESS.

Tbs discussion relative to the con,
gressional respportionmeat during the
past few weeks in the House of Rep
resentatives has been decidedly inter
ting.
In this as we'll as all ether matte rs
concerning the country's welfare, the
colored brother has figured.
Viewed from q dispsssionate and q
conservative standpoint, the color ed
people had nothing to lose. It was a
question: between the North aud the
South, which finally resulted in the
South getting the best end of the bar
gain in one sense and the North in
another sense.
1t means that the former section
will not lose any of it's representation
by virtue of the suppression of the col
ored vote, and that it will gain a few
votes by virtue Of an increased popu-
lAtion, while the No, tn will gain many
more votes from The last specifi I'd
cause
1t may be that renewt d impetus may
result so Tar as the DISTINGUISHING
acts OF constitutional conventions in
southern states are concerned.
The one gratifying feature OF the de-
bate was the ringing speech made by
Congressman GEO. ii WHITE, the lone
Afro American representative upon
the fl or OF congress.
There is something touchingly pa
thetis in his speech of defiance as
made Tuesday, ia S.h. 1901. With
the entrance OF the Twentieth Century
ends our racial represe nIation in the
halls OF congress. But, we shall come
sgsiH.
This nation is passing through the
crucial period of it's existence. HUI
man rights are being held cheaply and
the lessons of history cast aside.
We should yield so nothing, but
feree and even then under pr"' sL
The nation through its repra ~
tives will yet reap the wh:rlwind.
