Insect Processions.

Among the curious sights some times witnessed by entomologists are the "processions' formed by the lar vac of moth inhabiting pine trees in some parts of France. They march in single file, and the leader spins a thread which is added to by its follow CTS. A procession consisting of IA of these larvae was seen last April in the woods near Areachon. The pro- sessions are formed both at night, when the creatures make excursions from their nest to feed on the young leaves, and in the daytime, when they descend to the ground to seek a place in the sand where they may burrow and pass to the pupa stage A kind of fly was observed attacking the procession above mentioned, to lay it's eggs in the marching larvae.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Atove All Things the Walls Should
 Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick room there is an added reason why ex- treme precautions should be used to keep the room in thoroughly sanitary condition.
 Above all things, the bedroom should never be damp. It should be nice and dry, always warm and comfortable in winter, cool and airy in summer, and bright and sunny some parts of the day.
 If there is any suspicion of damp ness in a bedroom it is probably due, if there is wallpaper on the wall, to the absorption of water by the paper which frequently acts as plotting pa- per and holds quantities of water in it.
 The use of wallpaper on walls is to be deplored; it means disease, i'll health and unhappiness. It is ire quently the cause of lung trouble, not only because of it's dampness but also because of it's power to retain infec- tion of many kinds.
 The desired method of treating bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala bastined wall is a perfect wall. It never flakes off, chips or peels. It ab- sorbs moisture and eXpels it, it opens the pores of the plaster and makes a room livable and breathable.
 The floor in the bedroom should have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that can be easily shaken and floor that is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that will not absorb moisture. The cracks in the floor should be thoroughly filled and covered. Woodwork in the bed room should be attended to carefully, window sills should be thoroughly var nished or waXed, and the window cas- ings kept in perfect order The doors should be wiped off frequently as also should be all the standing woodwork in the bedroom, as the presence of dust on woodwork is a menace to health as well as an evidence of poor housekeeping.
 An aim in life is the only fortune worth pursuing-Adnah.

sT6IR-cLfMsING AN ART.
Grace and Muscle Result From Do"
 ing It Properly.

All the beauties of olden days were painted upon the stairs. They fully understood the artistic value of a graceful pose upon handsome stair case.
 If a woman knows how to go up stairs gracefully she borrows height and dignity and shows off a hand some gown advantageously.
 Stair pictures have been very much the vogue in the East the last season. Many society women have posed in this fashion and made love ly pictures. Pose and gown are the essentials.
 wardly and ungracefully. They think chiefly of the climb, and not of how ehey look.
 The figure should not be rigid, but the shoulders should be held erect. One should keep the shoulders well back in descending and the head well up.
 From the standpoint of physical cul- ture there is nothing quite the equal of stair climbing. It strengthens the heart; makes the liver active and lim- bers up the muscles. It is the most graceful of all exercises.
 Most women take pains to do as lit tie of it as possible.
 The physical culture rule is to climb with the knees without making use oi the muscles of the back. But this IS very difficult. The knees grow very tired. There is distinct art in throw ing ones self forward until one goes up naturally and easily. But one must net double up nor bend the shoulders.
 Most women puff when going up stairs. But this is a sign of a weak pair of lungs. Others groan and grunt, but this means tender muscles and a weak heart. The woman who arrives at the head of the stairs dizzy and panting is in bad need of course in physical culture. And the woman who cannot climb at all is in sad condi- tion physically. She should begin at the very lowest rounds of the gym nasium ladder.
 It is worth any woman's while to learn to go up stairs easily and grace fully.

My general health was very bad and was weak and trembling.

 That's just whats bothering me- replied the man in the chair. But how did you know?'
 "Tell it by my wrists and hands, |, explained the barber You and I are what they'd call magnetic mediums And the electricity in my fingers takes the pain out of your head. But I gel it. That's why I know. My hands are aching now. I don't often strike a customer like you, however, or I'd have to go out of business. I'll bet my arms ache for a half hour after you're gone"

RUSSIA ENTERS A DENIAL.
Cabinet Has No Intention of Dissolving
 Lower House.

St. Petersburg, Russia. The press is authorized to give positive and categorical denial to the various rM- mors telegraphed abroad to the effect that the cabinet had decided to dis solve the lower house of parliament The correspondents learned that a few of the reactionary members of the cab inet maintain that the lower house should be dissolved on any preteXt, but the matter has not been discussed at one of the last three cabinet ses- sionS.
 The crucical moment, however, is expected today, when vote will be taken on the constitutional democratic motion to refer the budget to commit tee. There is social democratic amendment to reject the budget totally and the correspondent has been in formed that the passage of this amend ment will be regarded as justification for dissolution. The vote is expected to be very close. The social demo- crats have succeeded in aligning the social revolutionists, the populists and o pal ol tiiS SlOuP Cl IOll, dllOSclHeF 240 deputies, on their side. The con- stitutional democrats have a slight lead, expecting to have 240 deputies. But the reactionaries who are schem- ing to overturn the duma may re- peat the precedent established March 2S and vote with the social democrats against the constitutional democrats.
 The group of toll will introduce bills today for the abolition of the death penalty and a martial law. The coun- Gil of empire has rejected by 104 votes to 25 a proposal to disqualify Prof. Maxim Kovalevaskya, a member of the lower house. His disquaiifica- tion was urged on the grounds that ne was a supernumerary professor, and upon this basis he had already been disqualified by the senate.

DR. WILEY IS SURPRISED.
Muc'1 Canned Goods Sent to Eneland
 Is Not Properly Labeled.

Washington, D. C.-Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem istry of the department of agriculture. expressed surprise Friday night when shown a dispatch from London, in which Health Officer Stepney is quot ed as saying that 75 per cent of the canned goods imported into England from the United States are not labeled and that English firms afterwards put on their own labels. Dr. Wiley said he had always supposed that such goods were fully and correctly labeled.
 Tt is a common practice among many manufacturers, sRd Dr. Wiley, mot to put their own labels on their goods, but instead, the labels of the Jobbers. 1t may be that goods sent to England are labeled with the names of English jobbers in harmony with this common custom.

How Flowers Were Named.

It is interesting to know how certain flowers got their names. Many were named after individuals For instance, fuchsias were so called because they were discovered by Leonard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for Andrew Dahl, who brought them from Peru. The camelia was so called for a missionary named Kamel, who brought some mag nificent specimens of the flower to France from Japan. He called it the rose of Japan, but his friends changed it to camelia. Magnolias were named in honor of Prof. Magnol De Mont pelier, who first brought the beautiful trees to France from America and Asia. Because they tremble with the wind is the meaning of anemones. The Latin word to wash is lavare and lav- ender received it's name because the Romans put the flowers into the water when they washed to perfume their hands.

Sikh Burial Ri+eS Observed.

A strange religious ceremony was observed last week just outside the city of Nelson in British Columbia, when the body of Sunder Singh, eX- sergeant in a Burmese regiment, was burned on funeral pyre according to the rites of the Sikh religion, which somewhat resembles Brahminism Every Sikh corpse must be disposed of by fire and water. Sunder Singh was one of a party of 20 Sikhs, most of them also eX-soldiers of the Indian empire, who were employed in con struction work by the Canadian Paci- fic railroad. He was killed on the track. His body was carefully pre- pared for the pyre and the other Sikhs went through their religious ceremo- nies while it was being consumed Later some of the bones were gath cred up to be sent to Amritsar, India, to the widow and father of the dead man. The remaining bones were then taken down to the riverside and flung into the water with more religious rites.-Springtield (Mass.) Republi- can.

OCCUPATION MAY BE BRIEF
Troops to Be Withdrawn from Oudja
 Gradually.

Lalla, Marnia, Algeria.--At present, although it is impossible to saw how long the occupation of Oudja will be continued, it is not probable that the entire force of 5000 men will remain for long on Moroccan territory. As soon as the power of France has been established the greater portion of the column of occupation will be with drawn gradually, leaving at Oudja only the few hundred men who are necessary for@ the preservation of or der.
 Col. Reidel, chief of staff, who al ready has taken over the administra- tion of Oudja, said yesterday that ev. e.-ything led him to believe that the occupation would have widespread and salutory effect upon, Morocco. All the Moroccan chiefs of the region are coming in and today Col. Reidel will explain the circumstances of the oc- cupation to them.

FRAUD IS CHARGED
stRREGUlAR METHODS ARE SAID ~ TO HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED t IN TAKING INSURANCE

New York, April.-The Information A Policyholders' Committee has is sued statement pointing out alleged T1olatlonS of the present insurance code by the companies in the recent election of officers and the alleged in sufliciency of the Department of h.

 The International Committee has maintained for months in both the Mutual and New York Life canvass force of watchers and translators, and every effort has been made to pro- tect the interests of policyholders who have voted against the old manage ments, but the ruling of the inspec- tors have been so uniformly against us that it is i'm possible under the present condi- t1Ons to secuEe a fair count of the votes as cast, we withdrew our watch CTS.
 "From the beginning, the compan- les, with the assistance of the Depart ment Of Insurance, have evaded and nullified in every way possible the Jaw as enacted. The companies filed lists of policyholders at Albany, which &cuntained thousands of incorrect names, with false and misleading ad- |. dresses, while they gave to agents and fcanyassers not alone the correct names and addresses, but the policy mum berS of the insured"
 The statement then sets forth in detail the various forms of irregular -ity charged and declares that affida- wits show it was practiced on whole sole scale, but these affidavts, the M Atatements assert, were refused con- lIRidefation. Illustration is given of family which was recorded as cast doing five votes, the statement adding:
