NAPOLEON LOVED SNUFF.

Fu6 FfUCHco k0o oo1SS ~ Won -
the Pungent Dust.
Napoleon loved snuff; not only on the
battlefield, but at home in the coun-
Gil, he had recourse to the dust, es-
pecially when his schemes were IN
favorably received and he wished to
hide his uneasiness or Impotence. On
able to sit still in his elbow chair, he
would try in a tho sand ways to divert
attention from himself, and among
other devices, as soon as he saw a
members eye fixed on him would
hold out his arm and shake his thumb
and forefnger, to signify that he wish
ed for a pinch Of snuff. Not less than
four, and even six, snufboxes dis
appeared in this manner during a SIN
gle sitting. and it was not till he had
left the council chamber that he be-
came aware of the larceny. So con-
f1rmed was this habit that some of the
councillors, whose snufboxes were
heirlooms or presents from foreign
princes, hit upon the expedient of car
rying cheap papier mache or wooden
boxes for the emperor to pocket The
snufboxes. however, always return

a very pleasant metamorphosis. By
some necromancy a wooden or tor

NOISY BUTTERFLIES.

One Species Produces q Sound Like
the Snap of Whip.
One does not think Of butterflies as
making any sounds, nor Of caterpiliars
as noisy creatures. yet according to the
late Samuel Hubbard Scudder in
"Frail Children Of the Air" the care
full student will find some use for his
ears when observing the habits of
both Says the author:
1t is a fact that certain butterflies
produce sound during certain move
ments. The whip" butterfly when
surprised makes a noise like the snap
Of a lash by opening and shutting its
wings In quick succession. Some hi
bernating butterflies when disturbed
make a faint kissing sound by slowly
depressing and raising their wings.
The noise thus produced resembles
that made by blowing slowly through
closed teeth. Other sounds resemble
the friction Of sandpaper-
A large number Of caterpillars make
sound By striking the head against the
leaf on which they are resting or by
swinging the head from side to side,
catching the mandibles I'm the rough
ness of the leaf or on the silken
threads spun on It 1t Is said that
certain kind OF chrysalis when disturb

The Gallery Gods Applause.

Lawrence Barrett once told Of
conversation he had with Edwin Booth.
The latter had been congratulated up
on an ovation given him by a crowded
house on the opening night Of an en-
gagement The sweetest music to my
ears" said the great tragedian. is the
shouting OF the boys in the gallery. I
know they are not applauding because
1 have a reputation or because they
wish to make display. They simply
give vent to their natural enthusiasm.
When they shout 1 know that l am
giving a good performance. AS for the
parquet, It may clap its hands out of
politeness- A dramatic critic who had
certain notions as to how line should
be read win applaud IL I read it his
way: otherwise he will remain quiet
I can never analyze the applause of
the front rows, but the gallery Is sin

BRAZIL, Ind. Aug. 13.-The Bra

newspaper, is the latest Indiana pub
LEGATION to join the Progressive party.
1t follows closely on the flop of the
Anderson Herald, Middletown News,
Connersville News and many other

gressive movement. The Times is
the leading paper in Brazil and has
been a power for the Republican par

ment of leaving the Taft ticket is

The editorial follows: I'VE hope and
we believe that it has been the inten-
ton all along of the leaders and the
rank and file of the Progressives OF
Clay county to keep faith with the
people of all old parties in their invi-
tation to join the Progressive party
and enlist in the struggle for the SUI
premacy of the rule of the people, the
wrestling of government from the
hands of corrupt politicians and for
real patriotism that extends to the
fireside. We consider the Progress
sives of Clay county progressive from

Beveridge expressed it. In advocating
what we do in this editorial we feel
that we are enlisting in a war for
