ers at the mouth Of the caterpillar help
il to find the good things TO eat quite
as much as do the eyes.
A caterpillar, as we know, matches
from an egg laid by moth or butter
fly, and its one business in life is to
feed. AS a rule it likes best the green
leaves of plants, but there are cater
pillars who prefer plant lice and scale
insects for food.
When a caterpillar has outgrOwn its
first skin, this bursts open, and, 10 and
behold out walks the crawleT in a soft
new one that stretches and stretches as
the insect grows until it can stretch
no more, and then it, too, is thrown off
like the first skin.
Every caterpillar must change its
clothes several times before it is fully
grown and ready to go to sleep in its
chrysalis cradle, and this process is
most interesting.
Many caterpillars have round worm
like bodies, among these the cabbage
worm, whose mother is the small white
butterfly of our gardens. There are
some startling exceptions, namely, that

LAWSOWS PISTOL.
CMonterey CMexico) News.O

Did I ever tell you about Lawson's
pistOl?'' said James V. Dignowity at
the Baron, as he was quietly putting a
choice Mexican cigar.
mo; what Lawson and what pistoI?''
asked the newspaper man, who was in
terested in something else at the time.
why, Tom Lawson's pistol-the pis-
tOI that made old w. w. Rogers have
fits: the pistol that made cold beads of
sweat stand out on William Rockefeller
and caused John D. to drop his golf
stick and run like a turkey through a
cOTnfield. This terrible and notorious
pistol was made of wood and is as
harmless as a penny whistle"
rs that sop
Yes, it was made of wood, and very
dry pine wood at that. About three
months ago I had some business in
Boston, and during a leisure hour !
called on the noted frenz1ed financier in
his office. Just before leaving l had a
curiosity to see the famous weapon.
and Lawson being a frank and good
fellow without any frilIs, asked him to
let he have a look at it He pulled open
"a drawer of his desk and handed me
what 1 supposed was Colts As. You
can imagine my surprise when I held
in my hand the strengthening weapon
and fOu1d IL was only a wooden inita-
ton Of a Colts revolver. 1t was COW
cred with tin foil, which gave il a nick
el-plated appearance. A black spot was
painted on the muzzle to represent the
bore.
g There It is said the colonel What
DO you think of it?'
Il told him that that kind Of a pistol
might work on Wall street, and scare
the lives out Of those fellows, but ii
would not work in Texas OF Mexico, as
he might get called the first rattle out
of the box.
% I wouldn't try it down there said
the colonel; but it worked all right in
New York. Why, Dignowity, those fell
lows in New York are so cOwardIy that
you could run them out of the city with
a corncob and a lightning bug. That
New York crowd had a law passed
making 1t a felony, with from two to
fifteen years in the penitentiary. Ia
strike a man in the face while he has
his glasses on, and you Will now find
nine-tenths of the SO-cal1ed business

his glasses so you can crack him be-
tween the eyes, he Will run ike a deer

SPECIAL COURTESY
FOR SWEETHEARTS
THEY ARE TO BE GIVEN PREFER
ENCE IN ASSIGNMENT TO POSI-
TIoNs IN CIVIL SERVICE IN THE
PHILIPPINES.

Washington, July 9O.-(Special.) Especial
inducements are being held out by Uncle
Sam in order to procure clerks for the
Philippine service. His big employment
bureau, known as the civil service COM
mission, has Just announced that the
sweethearts or wives of applicants for
such positions may also be examined for
positions as teachers.
AS rule the government frowns upon
the practice of more than the member of
a family serving the government. In many
of the bureaus in this city women who
have married government clerks since OBJ
tanning their positions have been COM
PEELED to retain their maiden names on the
pay roll In order to keep from being GUST
ed. Not so In the Philippines. The govern
ment has found Ii exceedingly difficult to
fill the available positions in the clerical
force at Manila and other Philippine
towns, hence the official invitation issued
today according to the terms of which
women who are flances of men taking ex-
aminations for service will be permitted
over all others in filling vacancies in the
staff of teachers if they pass the required
tests

Many Rumors Heard.

Laredo, Tex, July 2O.-For some time
past rumors have been rife in almost
all the large cities in Mexico which may
portend anything from a great strike of
the laboring element, to a revolution
against the administration of President
Diaz. Opinion is divided as to what the
result will be, but enough credence is
placed in the rumors to cause much un-
easiness and steps will be taken to meet
any contingency which may arise.
Circulars have been posted in Monterey,
Saltillo. San Luis Potosi and other large
cities throughout the republic warning all
foreigners to leave the country before
the 10th OF September the independence
day of the republic.
The circular says in substance:
1--WE desire Mexico for the Mexicans.
and warn all foreigners that If they do
not leave the country by the 10th of
September they will be driven into the
sea-
Continuing, the circular says:
'eThe principal industries and business
of the republic are in the hands of for
eigners, particularly Americans. The rail
roads although apparently belonging to
the nation, are the property of Ameri-
cans. the Americans direct them.
1--WE are on the border of an abyss and
a great catastrophe menaces us unless
we force all foreigners out of the coun-
trv. and give our own people a chance" "
The Mexican government does not fear
any serious trouble Notwithstanding the
posting of these circulars, and will be
fully able to cope with any contingency
which may arise

AMERICANS DEFIED

London Market Affected.

London. July 20.-With the exception OF
the American market in which there was
an all around recovery, the stock ex-
change today was enveloped in gloom.
The break in Russians was held chiefly
responsible for this state of affairs. The
new Russian loan is now quoted at
per cent discount and consols lost half
a point this morning on selling, princi-
pally by continental houses.
The local fall on the price Of the last
Russian loan is taken TO be that the loan
was not the big success that it was claim
ed a the time and the loan was not taken
up by investors when the selling by spec
ulators, anxious to secure the premium
temporarily established commenced. Some
of the big underwriters and others chief
ly Interested in the success of the Issue
may have been compelled, 1t is suggested
to put back more than they could carry.
The position has given rise to all sorts of
rumors and coupled with the enormous
losses resulting from the declines of all
Kaffr stocks has caused marked de-
preston in all the markets.

Warning Countries
FOUR REPUBLICS INVOLVED

Treaty Means Peace Be-
tween Four Countries.

bringing about an agreement
The peace commissioners adopted reso-
lutions thanking the Presidents of the Uni-
ted States and Mexico for their Intervene
tion.
Four Republics Threatened.
The Central American war. which bade
fair to involve four or more republics in
addition to the two originally concerned,
Salvador and Guatemala, began In May
with the departure of expeditions from
Salvador to assist a Guatemalan revolu-
do Engagements with various results were
fought between the insurreetionary forces
and those of the government of Guatemala
until Salvador formally entered the con-
flict A little later a Guatemalan force
entered Honduras, the result being to ar
ray that republic on the side of Saliva
dor.
From the moment the trouble passed
beyond the phase of an internal disturb
ance, the government at Washington set
about instituting measures for the re-
establishment OF peace. The cruiser Mar
blehead was ordered from Panama to La
! Libertad, with directions to. report to
Leslie Combs. American minister to Guat-
emala and Honduras, and Mr. Combs and
William l.. Merry. minister to Costa Rica,
Nicaragua and Salvador, were instructed
to use their best endeavors with the bell
llgerents to bring the war to an end.
Mexico Asked to Assist.
At the same time David e. Thompson,
American ambassador to Mexico. was In
structed to make such representations to
the Mexican government as might enlist
its efforts for the same end-Mexico's de-
sire for peace between It's neighbors being
well known
Mexico entered heartily into the project,
and its diplomatic representatives In Guat-
emala and Salvador were instructed to
cooperate with Ministers Merry and
Combs.
Guatemala, Salvador and Honduras
agreed to an armistice beginning at
o'clock the morning of July 1S, In order
that representatives of those governments
might met with the American and Mexi-
can diplomatists on board the cruiser Mar
blehead 10 negotiate terms for treaty OF
peace The conference began July 10. the
cruiser being then on the high seas off the
coast of Guatemala, the Marblehead be-
ing practically neutral territory. The ne
gotations proceeded expeditlously with

INSPECT MEAT IN GERMANY.
Loose Laws In Past Have Been Source
of inconvenience.

Berlin, July 2o--As the result of in
ouires instituted on account of the re-
port that the German government had de-
cided to enforce stringent laws on all
American canned products as to virtually
exclude them, it is learned that several
recent seizures of meat unfit for food
made at custom house on the Russian
frontier caused inquiries to be made by
the custom authorities and the Prussian
ministry of agriculture regarding the sys-
tenn of inspection.
II was learned that the practice had
been ordinarily either not to break
package or if opened not to cut slces OF
its contents for close inspection. This
casual inspection permitted, it is believed,
considerable trade in diseased and tanned
meat and also in unborn calves. Changes
in the regulations requiring ciose IN,
snection before the official stamp Is used
are in course of preparation according 10

authorities for submission to the Dun
