AN INSECT TRAGEDY.
The Nest the Mother Butterfly 5uiIds
 For Her Young.

The Nest the Mother Butterfly 5uiIds For Her Young.
 There Is something really pathetic in the way a mother butterfly builds d nest for her children. In the first place, the little home where the eggs are deposited represents great deal of sacrifice, for 1t is lined with several layers of down plucked from the moth CTS own soft body. The eggs having been laid carefully upon this luxurious, pretty couch. are protected by an equally pretty coverlet made of the same material.
 These butterfly bedclothes are often arranged with an intricacy that is quite curious and perplexing. Sometimes a bed is made so that each separate deli cate hair stands upright, thus giving the entire nest the appearance of lit tie brush of downy fur. Then again the eggs are laid spirally round a tiny branch. and. as the covering follows their course. the effect resembles the bushy tail of a fox, only the nest Is more beautiful than the brush of the finest fox that ever roamed over coun- try.
 The building of this downy nest is the latest earthly labor of the mother but terfiy. for by the time it is completed her own delicate body is denuded of its natural covering and there is nothing left for her to do but die, a sacrifice which she promptly and heroically makes in the interest of the coming butterfly generation.

DISEASE AND PAIN.
The Theory That Suffering Is Mental
 More Than Physical.

More Than Physical.
 A great deal of alleged physical sLf- fering is primarily mental. great many people have "tixed ideas" of dis ease, pain. debility. fatigue, dread. in- efficiency and uneXpresslble woes. Much often than we realize these can be transpanted without surgery or medication. l do not mean that they are not real suffermgs. They are as real as the grave, but they are not grounded in physical infirmity, ana they are not to be cured with physics The mind becomes possessed of con viction that a certain part of the body Is infirm and iEputes pain to that part in spite of all the medicine in the world. Hundreds of people refuse to get well after the physician has cured them. It is not hls fault. and 1t is not their fault. But they have simply had dis ease suggested to them until they can not think at all except upon that as sumption. It Is m auto suggestion. or it Is Q family suggestion, and the only way to remove it Is by the vigor' ous counter suggestion of another per son. The value of a fixed idea" of health. as being only the removal of a fixed Idea of disease where there was no organic reason for 1t, will hardly be disputed. Yet one cannot overem- phasize the multitudes that there are of these invalids sitting in padded chairs and making ready for the hearse whose trouble is primarily mental and how many there are, again, who have a slight organic infrmity and have in- creased It's effects thousandfold by what we may call household sugges- tion."

ther out than usual At last, be-
coming very weary, he turned and
padded in his clumsy dog fashion
Tor the shore. He was surprised to
nQi's how far he had gone. The

very tired-ot. very tired. Surely
somewhere along here he might let
down and walk in. He tried. and
found no bottom. 1t was very hard
to get going again. His rapid, ro-
tary motions were very weak now.
Down he went again, this time in
voluntarily. And then he realized
that he was drowning. Only two
bathers, gamboling in the warm,
green water, were in sight.
"Help!" cried Robinett, in
hoarse alarm. "Help--help!" The
last cry went out in a series of
gurgles as his mouth filled with
water. He rose again. One of the
bathers was coming rapidly, push
ing light leg.

THE COON HUNT.

Everybody was scurrying round
litter supper to get things ready
flor the raccoon hunt. Guns must
[be cleaned, shot procured, rubber
Eboots and old clothes hunted up,
Rthe lanterns must be filled with
soil, and midnight lunch was be-
ing prepared. Everybody was ex-
cited-even the dogs. Two of the
.neighbor boys were going with Jim
land his father, and, of course, the
two dogs.
After a long tramp through corn
lifields and pastures to the woods,
|'the dogs struck a scent, and then
they struck lively pace to follow.
Over fences and through creeks
where Jim tumbled headlong into
the swamp reeds, getting plastered
with mud. The dogs chased one
coon up a tree, and when the men
caught up Jim's father balanced
the lantern on top of his boys head
SO it would light up the lower
branches. Sure enough 1t was re-
Elected in Mr.. Coon's eyes, which
glOWed like two balls OF fire. TAX
ing careful aim at. the space be-
tween the eyes, Jim's father fired,
and down fell Mr.. Coon.
Here they stopped to eat their
lunch, and then, as the dogs had
found another scent, they started
on. Nothing was to be heard but
the yelp of the dogs, cracking of
twigs and occasional boots of an
owl. From the delighted yelps Of
the dogs they knew another coon
was freed. AS this fellow was too
high in the tree to be seen with the
lantern, it was decided to tie Jim's
coat around the tree trunk and
leave the coon to stay in his tree
all night. He would be afraid to-
pass the coat, and when it was light
they would come back and catch
him. They knew that only once
in a while will coon venture past
a mans coat when tied around a
tree. And thus the coon hunt end
