The Wonderful Aphis,

The aphis is in one way the most
startling of all forms of insect life,
for, although the females can and do
lay eggs, Its usual method of increase
is by a sort of budding process, the
young growing on the bodies Of the
parent exactly as brussels sprouts
grow out Of the stalks of the plant.
The old produce young at the rate Of
twenty-five day. and as the young
are at once mature each can produce
Its twenty-five on the following day.
1t positively frightens one to work
this multiplication out to conclu-
sion, for 1t means this: Supposing that
the aphide could increase and multiply
without interference the twenty-fifth
generation would be number too long
to quote here. Put down and fol-
low 1t with % naughts and you will
be within few millions of 1t.

indian Tradition That Tells the Origin
Of the Custom.
According to the Indian tradition,
scalping arose In this wise:
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
years ago, when all the Indians In the
world were of one tribe and under one
chief, there arose dispute in the tribe
as to who should succeed the old chief,
who had just died without issue. There
were two principal aspirants to the
honor. each having considerable fol-
lowing. The dispute finally ended
with strife and war, and for the first
time In the history was brothers
blood shed by brothers.
The chief Of one of the factions had
a beautiful daughter, and one of the
bravest warriors was sutton for her
hand. Her father consented to the
match on one condition-that the
young brave should journey to the
camp Of the enemy, many miles away
through the deep snow, kill the chief,
his rival, and return with some unmis-
taxable token Of his death. In spite
Of the snow and the distance, the
young man Immediately set out on his
journey and, after lying in ambush
for several days, finally entered the
camp, boldly attacked the chief in his
tent. slew him and cut of his head.
Next morning the murder was dis
covered, and the tribe set Off in hot
nNrnuit Tltflo nv LITTLE thav Uafna cd
upon the fleeing warrior, who in his
anxiety to elude his pursuers cast
away all his impediments, to his very
clothing. retaining only his stone knife
and the trophy which was to win him
his bride.
His pursuers gained rapidly until
finally SO near did they come he could
hear them on his trail. His grewsome
burden grew heavier and heavier, and
as a last resort he whipped out his
knife. stripped the scalp from the head
Of the dead man and. thus lightened
Of his load, reached his own camp in
safety, presented to his chief the token
Of HIS prowess and was wed, amid
great rejoicing, to the damsel Of his
choice.
From thenceforth he was permitted
to wear an eagles feather In his cap,
and to this day the eagles feather re-
mains the sign of the successful war
rior, the number he displays depending
upon the number Of scalps Ne has tax.

1.-THE Governor is in the State
House." said one of the attaches on
Friday, Sat least" he said "the flag is
up and that is only done when the
Governor is at the State House" And
! that is TACT, though the authority for
raising the flag provides only that i,
shall fly when the Legislature is in
session. The raising of the flag on the
donjon keep when the lord of the
castle is at home is an old ieudal Gus
tom and the use OF the flag when the
Governor is at the State House is cor
rect by analogy, Prior to the war
there was belfry on the State House
and the bell was rung partly to sum-
mon the legislators and partly to in
form the people that the lawmakers
were in session, During the war
period the Legislature ordered the flag
to be hoisted instead Of ringing the
bell as notice that the Legislature was
in session and the practice still con-
tinues. During Governor Abbett's first
term the flag was ordered up for Gov
ernor's day, which was established by
Albeit, and the practice has continued
ever since. A precedent is easily made
and it fingers long 1t is nearly a
quarter OF a century since "Governor's
day" was established and majority of
those who were affected by 1t have
passed away, but the day is still OBJ
served and the flag is hoisted just as it
was back in 1884.

QUICK WIT SAVED HIM.
The Way a Criminal Fooled a Paris
Police Chief.

The Way a Criminal Fooled a Paris
Police Chief.
In the Memories" of NJ. Claude,
chief of police during the reign Of Ma
pOleon ILL.,, there is much that Is fas-
cinating to lovers of detective stories.
One OF NJ. Claude's experiences was
that in which he was outwitted by a
clever criminal who saw in the police
chiefs resemblance to Beranger when
the poet was at the height of his pop
ularity a means of escape from cap
ture. The criminal had returned to
Paris and was living as rich student
h the Latin quarter, then in the height
Of Its bohemian splendor.
Claude thought to make an easy
capture of his man by attending a GER
tain famous ballroom at the hour when
dancing was at its height. He tells
the story
Il had no difficulty In discovering
him seated among swarm of pretty
girls and bewitching danseuses.
Convinced there were but two ways
of getting the better of cunning enc.

Whiskey and Consumption.

In an address before the Mississippi
Valley Medical Association in Louis
vile, KY, recently, DIR. T. d. Crothers,
Of Hartford, Conn. editor of the Journal
Of Inebriety, said
The so-called moderate use OF spirits
which diminishes the vitality and lowers
the resisting power OF nature is an ac-
tive cause of consumption and typhoid
fever and is accountable for over SO
per cent. of all cases of pneumonia. In
fact, there is no disease known and no
surgical operation performed that is not
influenced and made worse by spirits.
The present efforts of laymen and
societies to correct and prevent this
evil as moral one is sad reflection
on the stupidity of the medical profes-
sion.

z Since President Grants second
term, March 3, 1873, the Presidents
salary has been $50, 900 per year. On
March 4, 1907, Congress approved the
appropriation "for travelling expenses
of the President of the United States,
to be expended at his discretion and
accounted for by his certificate only,
$25, 00O." This will probably be con-
tinued in the future. The appropria-
ton for the care of the White House
and its stable and greenhouses was in
1907, $4,000.
