A STRANGE INSECT.

The Avgeto Is Half Plant and Ia
 Found In New ZeRlnnd.
 Tho aweto. as the NIaoris. or natives of New Zealand, call i,. or Uipialis yi- reScens. as uaturalis,s term it, is found in New Zealand and is a vegetable ca terpiIlar of from three to four inches in length. and so far science has not been able to say whether it iS q vegetable or au insect. It k always found at the foot ot large myrtle trees that have beautiful red flowers on their stems lud a beautiful creeping clcmatis as white as thr snow The Mdoris cal! this tree by the name of rata. The awetO burieS itself among the roots Of the rata d few inches he'oTv th" ground and there lives uuil it k full grown, when it uulrr-Drs a most wonderful change. The Spu~o of a vegetable fun gus. termed by uatUru,!StS Sophocria rohertS.i. faSrpuS itself to the neck ot the caterpillar just between the head and The first ring and then grows up- ward 10 the height Of trom six to eight inches. Many people assert that there is never more than one stem, but such k not the ease, for some have been found with two stems, although very rarely.
 The step snr,rS un out of the ground above where the caterpillar k living about two or three inches Below the earth it grows into the awcto until it fills up every possible space within the outer skin without changing the form of the insect in the slightest way what sonver. but simply substituting d yeEe- table matter for animal matter, As soon as this takes place hoth the plant aud caterpillar bccomr dry and hard and die. but retain exactly the same form aS when alive. The whole has brown color. and the IuSec, appears wooden caterpillar with a huge horn standing up from the back of it's neck. How the caterpillar manages to propa- gate it's species no one can tell Usual ly The caterpillar becomes ChrysallS, the chrysalis changes into moth, the moth lays eggs. and these eggs again become caterpillars. and 50 on without stopping. Many reasons are given why the plant shoots up from the back of the neck of the awetO. One Is that the Rweto has a slimy substance OOzing out from Its neck, which while the awetO Is boring at the foot of the rata tree for It's only food catches the seeds of the fungus and holds 1t fast there till the latter begins to grow. When It has sucked all the vegetable life out of the aweto 1t must naturally die, for it finds no further uourishment The aweto is often found iD large numbers.

The Sword of n Knight.

The sword of q noble knight was mentioned almost as often as himself in the songs of the troubadours of the middle ages. In the olden time thls rusty weapon was named and person lied as accomplishing countless bril- liant deeds. In the proverbs of all na- tons it Is spoken of with reverence and trust. It represents the rank and re nown, the heroism and honor, the glory and greatness, of nations in the past. One of the first weapons made by man, it became his most important arm and auxiliary of warfare. It has always been the visible badge of birth, bravery and freedom. To surrender 1t was to admit defeat and disgrace. So long has it been the constant companion of rank and valor that 1t has acquired dignity of its own. Like no other weapon, 1t has quality entirely distinct from it's .haracter us a blood shredder. In Eng aud even at the present day the sword llon, is considered adequate to confer SuiGhuuOd.

When Maxim, the famous gun inven- tor, placed his gun before committee of judges, he stated its carrying power to De much below what he felt sure the gun would accomplish. The result Of the trial was therefore a great surprise, instead of disappointment. IL IS the sane with the manufactrerso of Chamber !ain's Cohc, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. They do not publicly boast oi all this remeUy will accomplish, but prefer to let the users make the state meuts. What they do claim, Is that 1t will positively cure diarrhOea, dys-n- tery. pains in the stomach and bowels and has never been known to fail. For sale by Wm. Britt.

Just before adjournment. The same fault
is found with tho review proposition and

AS TO the cost OF inspection, Messrs
Hsughen and Davis believe the Govern
ment should pay the cost OF antemortem
and postmortem inspection. They believe
tho packers should assume the cost OF
as may be necessary TO insure clean and
hcalthful canned products
1t Is urged that a sufficient amount Of
money should be appropriated initially
and the report suggests 100000 TO IN
sure the inspection. AS to the expense
to be borne by the packers. the report
recommends that tho Secretary OF Agri-
culture ascertain what this will be and
charge a fee TO cover 1t on each carcass.
This fee Is then to be collected by the
Secretary OF the Treasury and turned
into tho Treasury.
The fee is 10 be uniform and In amount
only sufficient to cover the cost Of the

Tho report concludes with the statement
that there are good features In both the
