BEETLE A. A SCENT sAcAsr
Insect Of Borneo That ExhaIes Mos,
Powerful Perfume.

The beaux and bellies of Borneo do
not have to distil perfume for their
hair or handkerchiefs. They have
only to take walk until they find a
mimosa in blossom. Clinging to the
fiower-balls is found magnificent
beetle of brilliant emerald green sha-
ding to bright bronze on the wing.
cases, and touched with gold on the
head. This living jewel emits a pow.
erful scent of altar of roses, pertaining
the air for many yards around it. A
number of them placed in house will
fill it from top to bottom with delight
full fragrance. Young girls roll the
insect In bit OF cotton cloth and
braid 1t in their black locks, and
young men suspend it around their
necks like an amulet or an Egyptian
scarab. The fragrance gradually
grows fainter as the beetle loses it's
vitality, and dies with it.
The beetle lives in captivity only a
few hours, and as the scent expires
with it, no way has so far been found
to extract or preserve the exquisite
odor. The scented beetle appears only
when the mimosa is in flower. Neither
birds nor lizards will destroy 1t, and
1t Is protected even from the vora-
cious woodpecker by its powerful per-
fume.

sla Waco, Mu.t ee Earned.

A group of feminine wage earners
was discussing news item the other
day, one which told the public that the
private secretary of the greatest finan-
cier OF his time IL q woman who re-
ceives $4,000 a year. There was envy
in their voices and bitterness in their
words, and nobody seemed to grasp
the pith OF the story, which was re-
cital OF the secretary's duties. There
was woman who had to be on duty
many hours, and possess not only q
marvellous memory, but infinite tact
and patience. S1ore than that she had
to possess marked executive ability.
She has probably been in training
for years, and undoubtedly earns
every penny Of her salary. The girls
who envied her could not do the work,
because they were not fitted for it
probably they would not under any
circumstances, because they were not
the Woodworking kind All they could
see in the story was the salary, and
that made them envious.

ENGLANp's MANY DEER PARKS.

"A park without q deer" wrote
Richard Jeffries, is Hike 9 wall with
out picture" and 1t is something to
know that in England there are 400
parks containing deer; that they aver
age hundreds and some Of them thou
sands of acres, and that Yorkshire,
Gloucestershire, Straffordshire, Nor
thants and Sussex have more Enclosed
land given up to deer than any other
counties.
There IL something peculiarly ma
tional about our deer parks. for soon
after the Conquest the barons began to
inclose parks within the forests and
to include within them all the wild
animals that could then be secured.
OF these the $500 acres Of park at
Fridge is the only one mentioned in
Domesday book as containing deer
then as it does now.
In that now scarce book, Shirley's
English Deer Parks" 48 parks arc
mentioned which no longer contain
deer, but since that book was pub
lished in 1857 several parks have been
stocked which did not then contain
deer, and there are others In which
the deer have been given up.-London

Literary Pioneers.

Polite literature, so far as this coun-
try is concerned. undoubtedly has its
fountainhead in the writings of Wash
ington Irving; but the first literature
to have the positive American smack
and flavor were the novels of j. Feni-
more Cooper. Cooper's novels were a
revelation to the old world Of the fact
that In the new world a fresh vein had
been struck, something that was as
much American as Dante was me-
diaeval or Virgil and Cicero classical.
1t Is not too much to call Cooper the
Columbus Of American literature.
Charles Brockden Brown, a mt, h
greater genius than Cooper, approach
ing in the subtlety of his intellect the
greatest of the ancients, was prevent
ed by his morbidity and retrospective
ness from gaining the palm which
passed to the author of the Deer
slayer" and the Pathfinder"

night of stars" as Stevenson says. A
poor little tired-out clergyman, In a
bedraggled surplice. who had been
reading prayers over people for the
let ten hours and was fit to drop, hur-
ried through the service: and the
town the dead man loved was flaming
miles beyond miles. About the grave
was none of his blood, none of his an
cient friends, but the men I believe
he would have chosen-men who had
fought him and then had fought for
him faithfully. They we're haggard
and spent with fighting the fire; and
they went from his burial back to days
and nights Of desperate effort. He
had fought and lost and yet did not
lose at the last, but won, snatching
victory out of defeat as he was wont
to do all his life. The heavy burdens
which have dropped from his shout

"Shure," said honest Haley (whose
wit you are likely to sample in the near
future, for he has elected to be the
Rupert Winters chauffeur; they don't

Poor Keatcham, he had no child

revive the fragrance Of his youth; but
can't help but think he had q
reticent, awkward. shy sort Of heart
somewhere about him. Well, he was
what Millicent would call "a compell-
ing personality" I use plain language

WOMAN PULLS HEAVIEST LOAD.
Point Of View Which Is Seldom Given
Adequate Consideration.

For centuries woman has been, with
comparatively few exceptions, a play
thing or drudge; overindulged in
pleasure and idleness, or cursed with
a burden whose weight few men can
conceive A system that places upon
womans shoulders three-quarters Of
the burden is inevitably degrading. A
man receives credit for supporting his
family even when the wife, by work
ing early and late, contrives to turn
his earnings into value treble that

eruln Too Fond Of Crow.

A new version Of "eating crow" has
been furnished in Center county,
Pennsylvania. One evening recently a
farmer of Curtin township set a bear
trap near his home, batting 1t with
q piece Of meat, as is customary. Aft
er the trap had been set crow,
tempted by the meat, was caught, and
that night bear happened that way
and ate both the crow and the bait.
The farmer set the trap again next
evening, and on the following morn
ing the bear was in the trap, having
come back during the night for an
other meal of crow.

a Gladstone Bull.

Mr.. Gladstone was once guilty Of an
amusing bull in debate on the ques-
ton OF disestablishment. Dilating on
the hold held on the affection of the
people by the Church of England, he
said: when an Englishman wants
to get married, to whom does he go?
To the parish priest. When he wants
his child baptized, to whom does he
60? To the parish priest. When he
wants to get buried, to whom does he
go?" The house answered with roar
Of laughter, In which Mr.. Gladstone
himself Joined, adding: "As l was
contrasting the English church with
the Irish, bull Is perhaps excusable. !"

African coursehiu.

Among some African tribes, when
man processes his love for woman
and asks her in marriage, she invari-
ably refuses him at first, lest it should
appear that she had been thinking of
him and was eager to become his wife.
BY so doing she maintains the mod
esty of her sex, as well as tests the
love and aliases the pride of her low
er. This policy is also intended to be
Of use to the woman in her married
life-as, should there be quarreling
and the husband threaten to send her
away, she can remind him of how he
made repeated professions of his love
and urgently pressed his suit before
she consented to become his wife.
