AN D PROCESSION.
Tiny Worms That Travel Ia n Long
Serpentlike Mass.

The sciara. of the genus tipulN. a
in the forests of Norway and Hungary
during the month of July or early in
August, gather in huge numbers pre-
paratory TO migrating in search of food
or for a change of conditions. When
setting ont on this journey, they stick
themselves together Ey means of some
glutinous matter and form II huge ser
pentlikc mass. often reaching a length
Of between forty and fifty feet and sew
eral inches in thickness. AS the sciura
is only on an average of about three
thirty-secontiS of an inch in length.
with no appreciate breadth whatever,
the number re4iti ed to form II continu-
Gus line of the size above mentioned is
incalculable.
Their pace Is of course very slow,
and upon meeting an obstacle. such as
a stick or stone, they either writhe over
or around ii, sometimes breaking into
two bodies for the purpose. A cele-
brated French naturalist says that if
the rear portion of this snakelike pro-
cession be brought into contact with
the front part the insects will keep
moving round in that circle for hours,
never seeming to realize that they are
getting no farther on their journey. If
the portions be broken in two, the pro-
cession will unite in a short time. When
the peasant meets one Of these process
sions, he will lay some obstacle in front
Of it. If it passes over it, it is a good

A Chinaman can be trusted in a bust

Cats, according to the old tradition,
have nine lives, but they are not tha
only creatures that enjoy such a rl.
rality. Infusoria have been dried and
restored to life by moistening after re-
naming inert dust for twenty-seven
years. and the drying resuscitation has
been successfully tried eleven times on
n lot of rotifers. Frogs and many
fishes suffer no injury from freezing
solid, while In a few cases even warm
blooded animals have been restored to
life after apparent death from freez-

VtntriloGuism is but the peculiar
method of vocaliZation which, differ
ing from the ordinary eolloquial way
of making articulations forward in the
mouth, alters the directions of these
sounds by SO managing the conforma-
ton of the mouth and lips as to keep
back the vocaliZed sounds and cause
their utterance to be so muffled and
hollow as to appear like sounds more
or less remote. 1t may be described
as the art of speaking in such q way
as to u q nearer to believe that the
sound comes not from the person
speaking, but from a different source.
The sounds are formed by the same
organs as the emissions of sound COM
monly-the larynN, the palate, the
tongue, the lips, etc.
The art of the ventriloquist consists
merely in this: After drawing q long
breath the performer breathes it out
slowly and gradually, d~exterously
modifying and diminishing the sound
of the voice by the muscles Of the
larynN and the palate. Besides this, Es
his lips as little as possible and
by various c%ontrivances diverts the at
tention of his audience.
Their Good "Featu-e."
Tom Cat the lunch counter)-Pretty

Dick-onc good thing about them,
though.

sake?

have to chew, you know. = Boston

II WORD "TAWDRY."
where We Get 1t and What 1t Mean,
Originally.

The word '%'tawdry." spelt in John
sons Dictionary "stawdrey," is a cor
ruption of st. Audrey. or st. Ethel
reda. in whose honor "a fair was held
in East Anglia on Oct. II. The word
was originally used of a necklace
bought at that fair, often made of
white pebbles, as Drayton writes:
Not the smallest beck
But with white pebbles makes her taw-
drys for her neck.
Originally this word did not necessa-
rily imply shabby s%plendor, for Shake
speare in 1.-The Winters Tale" has.
Come, ycu promised me q tawdry lace
and a pair of sweet gloves Since Ills
day the word has long lost its better
meaning and now stands for Things
gaudy, in poor taste and of little value.
Others say that st. Audrey died of Q
swelling in the throat, which she con-
sidered a special judgment for wearing
a necklace. and that from this legend
such ornaments We're connected with
her name and later took on its worse
meaning.-London Telegraph.

EASY TO CURE CATARRH.

Breathe Hyomei and kill all Catarrhal
Germs. "Money Back if 1t Fails says r.
H. Moody.
There is no dangerous stomach drugging
when using Hyomei The healing and arc
matte balsams which compose this wonder
full treatment are breathed through a neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every 81
outfit,
In this way the germ-killing and health
giving HyOmei penetrates to the most re-
mote cells of the lungs. 1t searches out and
kills disease germs in the air passages of
the head, throat and nose, sOothes and
heals the irritated mucous membrane, and
absolutely drives catarrh from the system.
Such remarkable results have followed
the use of Hyomei by the best people in
Belfast, that r. I'll. Moody has the greatest
confidence in its power to cure catarrh. He
believes in it so thoroughly that he will
give his personal guarantee to refund the
money if it does not cure, the purchaser to
be sole judge.
This is an unusual offer and the first time
that any medicine or treatment for the cure
of catarrh has been sold in this way. If it
cures, the expense is trifiing, while if it
fails, the cost is absolutely nothing.
If you are fortunate enough not to be
troubled with catarrh tell your friends of
X. II. MOody's offer and get them to take
advantage of it.
