pillars to hatch. and they do not, like
most of their relatives, economically
make their first meal upon the discard
ed eggshells.
They appear so late in the season
that they hibernate at once for the
winter.
In the spring they wake up again and
begin to eat, choosing grasses and
sedges. They are among the few OF
their tribe that are not injurious to
vegetation.
They are not nearly so greedy as 9TH
er caterpillars, and eat and grow so
slowly that they are not ready to go
into the chrysalis state until July.
When full grown they are green like
the grasses among which they live, and
have faint yellow stripe down each
side of the body. The chrysalis which
each forms is likewise green.

he lived until he came to America on

the name Curtis to one of his char

it is probable that he was a friend

after the hour in which he was killed,
Is now under investigation, to settle
whether he was then a second or first
lieutenant.
Col. Melville A. Cochran, U. S. A.
retired, who recently died in Jackson
vile, Fla, was a native of my state
of Maine, and I find two errors in
notices of his sudden death. He did
not enter the army as private and
work his way up" but was appointed
to his first service, Aug. S, 1861, as
captain in the Sixteenth United States
Infantry. Nor was he mustered out
of the regular service In June, 1898,
but was simply put on the retired list
on account Of disability in line of
duty. Col. Cochran married in st. Au-
gustine, and his wife, who died over a
year ago, was sister to the wife of
Maj. J.. A. Enslow, one of the most
prominent and popular ex-Confeder-
lates in Florida. 1t is said that the
major at one time during the war had
Col Cochran as his prisoner in Charles
ton, S. G. This is another example of
the strange things that the whirligig
of time unfolds. The proposed
Blue and Gray Reunion" for May,
1905, in Washington, D. c., got a very
bad black eye" at the great Grand
Army Encampment in Hartford, Conn,
on May Is and 10. After a lively dis
cussion the whole matter was indefi-
nitely postponed. 1t is extremely
doubtful If the movement succeeds.
The u. C. ". convention in Charleston,
S. c., few years ago, decided against
a similar movement then started.

THE DISTINGUISHED CURTIS FAMILY

the name Curtis is spelled in six
teen different ways. 1t probably be-
gan as KUrteis, an old spelling of the
word courteous" which Chaucer
writes ''curteis" and which in "Perrys
Reliques" is '1kurteis." The name is
thus one of the class indicative of
mental or moral qualities.
The first form, Kurteis, Curteis, Cur
tots or Corteis, changed to Curtyce,
Curteys. Curtys or Curtoys, became
Curtes, Curtys or Curtoys, became,
then Curtius. Curtice or Curtfcs, and
finally Curttiss, Curtiss or Curtis. The
last two are the only forms now used
Metius Curtius, the hero of two le-
gends, and Quintus Rufus Curtius the
biographer of Alexander the Great
are among the celebrities of the fam
lily, and there are others. The Brit
ish Museum contains manuscripts re-
ferring to the Curtis family. One is
letter to Noah Curtis, lord of the
manor of Woolstrop, respecting the
escape Of Charles 1. from the Scot
ttsh army in 1916. About a hundred
years later the Lord Mayor of Lon
don was William Curtis. Sir Roger
Curtis, Admiral of the Red. was
knighted for heroism at the siege of
Gibraltar and was granted arms which
displayed, in chief, the rock of Glib
raltar, with a sword erect, entwined
with a palm branch for crest.
The arms, said to have been brought
to this country by the settler, William
Curtis, are azure, a Jesse dapcette, be-
tween three ducal crowns, or crest,
lion supporting in his right paw
shield azure. Both the crown and
the lion are emblematic of distinguish
ed ancestry.
The arms reproduced are ermine

de-lis, or. Crest, an arm endowed,

Another settler, Ephraim Curtis, who
built the first house in Worcester, was
the hero of many blood-curdling adj
ventures, in which he usually came off
with honors and flying colors. He
has left many records. In one he COM
plains Of the rude behavior" of the
Indians.
Obadiah Curtis kept a shop in Bos-
ton, and with other merchants agreed
not to buy goods of certain Tory mer-
chants. Some were supposed to have
violated this agreement, and FIrs. Cur
tbs published an indignant denial that
she or her husband had done so. In
the Boston Weekly news letter of May
"a, ITO, appeared this notice:
'Mr. Draper-Please insert the fol-
lowing:
"If the piece in Messrs. Edes and
ellis paper, called a Hint to the Wise
had one lisp of truth it might be kind
ly taken, but do declare it a ground
less, malicious falsehood, and 1 chal-
lenge the author to produce one per-
son to say that I or my husband WIS.,
tied the McMasters, or have had any
dealings with them.
Martha Curtis"
During the war, pins, which were
made in England, became very scarce,
and Curtis, who held the whole stock
in Boston, made great profits. 1t soon
became the fashion, or a necessity, for
women to use thorns for pins.
The honor roll of those members of
the Curtis family who served their
country includes Capt. William Curtis,
in King Phillips War. and Eliphalet
Curtis, who was with Washington dur
ing his retreat through New Jersey in
December, 1776.
Biblical names have always been fa-
vored by the family, from Abel, Noah,
Aaron, Gideon and Ichabod to Zacha-
riah, Hezekiah, Jeremiah and Nehe-
miah. Maidens were given more fam
ciful names-Rejoice. Diana and the
like, although Nabby and Mehitable
were also prime favorites.

was amused at the yarn Spanish
War hero spun recently, es-
pecially his statement that he
was in the San Juan Hill fight
at Santiago, Cuba, when Ed. Marshall
was killed. A man who don't know
that Marshall was not killed knows
very little about that campaign When
parted with Ed Marshall at Tampa
he was full of life and hopefulness, and
one OF the best war correspondents In
the pack. But he came home from
Santiago physical wreck and a suf-
ferer for life, yet he was not dead. In
tellectually, he is all right to-day, and
still a popular journalist. It is true
that he was terribly wounded and his
final recovery was a wonder to his
friends. There Is no chapter in the
Santiago campaign so thrilling and pa
thetfc as the story of Ed Marshall's
terrible sufferings and the tender and
devoted care given him by his associ-
ate war correspondents. Every move
ment was a source Of pain to the suf-
ferer and his life hung as 1t were upon
a single thread: and 1t IL safe to be-

votion of his associates, as they bore
