SOME INTERESTING INSECTS.


Except among the select few, gen.
orally enthusiastic boys who keep
fresh water aQuariums and replenish
them from ponds and brooks, few peo-
pie either see or know much about
water insects; yet 1.-The Naturalist on
the Thames says that many of these
little creatures are perhaps better
equipped for encountering all the
chances of existence than any others.
They can swim, dive and run below
water, live on dry land or fly In the
air, and many are SO hardy as to be
almost proof against any degree of
cold.
The activity of many of the water
insects is astonishing. Besides keeping
in almost incessant motion, those
which spend most of their time below
water have generally to come up COLI
stantly to breathe. Such are the water
bugs, water scorpions, and stick in
sects, which, although slender as
rushes and with limbs like hairs, can
catch and kill the fry Of the smaller
fishes. Most of these are like human
divers, who have to provide themselves
with air to breathe, and work at double
speed in addition.
If group Of whirling beetles is dis
turbed, the whole party will dive like
dab chicks, rising to the surface again
when they feel the need for breathing
air again.
The divingbell spiders gather air to
use just as soldier might draw water
and dispose it about his person in
water-bottles. The tail of the spider Is
covered with black velvety hairs. Put.
ting its tall out of the water 1t col
lects much air in the interstices of the
velvet. 1t then descends. when all
this air, drawn beneath the surface
collects into single bubble, covering
It's tail and breathing holes like coat
Of quicksilver. This supply the spider
uses up when at work below, until 1t
dwindles to single speck, when 1t
once more ascends and collects a fresh
store.
The writer has seen one of these
spiders spin so many webs across the
stems Of water plants in limited
space that not only the small water
shrimps and larvae. but even a young
fish were entanglcd. The other and
more artistic means of gathering air
employed by the spider is to catch
a bubble on the surface and swim
below with It, The bubble Is then re-
leased into bell woven under some
plant, into which many other bubbles
have been drawn. In this diyingbeil
the eggs are laid and the young hatch
ed under the constant watch of the
old spider.

Good Ono on The Doctor.

The novelist Thomas A. Janvier has
lived for number of years in France
and has collected many folk tales and
anecdotes of the French peasantry.
Il heard a story of physician the
other day." Mr. Janvier said recently
HE was physician of Provence, and
one morning, stopping his gig, he en-
tered into condescending talk with a
tombStone-maker.
while the talk went on the tomb
stone man did not cease to work. He
had chisel in one hand and a mallet
in the other. He was carving upon
his tomb the words, Sacred to the
Memory Of and the rest lie would
leave blank.
This proceeding for some reason
amused the physician. Watching the
stonecutter, he laughed heartily.
why said the other, do you
laugh?'
Because your way of work amuses
me- the physician said. DO you al
ways cut out your headstones the be-
ginning of the obituary and then
waltz
"'No,' said the stonecutter, mot al
ways When there is some one sick
and you are treating him | keep right

Indians of Northwest Canada Fond Of
Toilet Preparations.

indians of Northwest Canada Fond Of
Toilet Preparations.
Eau de cologne and other toilet prep
hiations are doing great deal of
harm among the Indians of Peace river
district, in northwestern CANADA, &C
cordins TO n member of the Canadian
geological survey who has returned
from visit to that region.
The harm comes from the fact that
the Indian drinks them. Cologne and
various other connections known as
tlorida water, essence of ginger and
essence of peppermint, are prepared es-
pecially for internal use by traders,
to the Indians. The stuff Is in reality
ninctenths pure alcohol. J. NJ. Ma
coun of the Canadian survey, says
that the traffic in alcohol thus disguised
has become such a serious matter that
the Missionaries have become discour-
aged and the business of the Hudson
Bay Company promises to be embar-
raised.
The Indians have learned that the
sweet-smelling things are to drink and
are not to be wasted as exterior oint-
ments. If one We're to consult the Do
minion records of importations one
would suppose that the Indian half
breeds of the northwest had suddenly
developed a remarkable fondness for
cleanliness, for the customs reports
show an unusual increase In the guam
tity of toilet waters imported. Most Of
these preparations come from the Unit
ed States.
According to Mr.. Macoun, the effects
Of drinking these preparations are very
serious. The cologne Is especially In
furious, as it has shown tendency to
affect the eyesight of Indians drinking
it continuously.
Mr.. Macoun also asserts that he took
one drink of cologne just TO see what
sort of stuff the Indians We're drinking,
and found it so sweet and nauseating,
and at the same time SO burning hot,
that he was glad to end his expert
ments The essence Of peppermint
water, if taken in moderate quantities,
and the essence of ginger he thought
might be beneficial TO persons exposed
to the rigor of the northern climates,
but ii would be far better to secure I'M

prepared for the Indians and half
breeds,

( Nearly every girl can have lux

with Il Tribune reporter, while in the
city recently. The principal thing TO

hair and scalp thoroughly clean, but
not overdo It, For a normal head of
hair shampooing once month is quite
sufficient If one is living in the country.
In large cities, however, where there is
generally a lot of dust and smoke flying
around, shampoo twice Il month does
no harm.

that If 1t is not washed off thoroughly
with several rinSing waters-two wat

The best way Of shampooing the
hair is always to turn it over the face
after brushing twell up from the back.
Then. when 1t is washed, divide it by Il

and let it fall down over the shoulders
after squeezing out all the water posi-

towels, and when perfectly dry divide

plain cold water is undoubtedly the
best tonic for the hair, and the scalp
should be massaged every morning, FOR
say, five minutes, with the fingers
dipped in cold water. a gentle pulling
of the hair against the roots is also
