Beetles and Their Habits.

One of the most amazing things in
natural history is the way in which
beetles have triumphed in the struggle
for existence, says Popular Science
Monthly. OF creatures they are by far
the most numerous, no fewer than
10000 distinct species having been
identified-three times the number Of
backboned animals.
Beetles are wonderfully adaptable.
They are found practically everywhere
in the frOst-bound tracts of Iceland
and in the hot desert sands of Africa !;
on the highest mountains, under the
ground, and as fossil, in the deepest
strata; on land and in water; on
plants, among stones, and in wood
and earth; and even in the very era
ters of volcanoes.
But there is one place where no
beetle has yet been found-it is the in
hospitable land of Spitzbergen, to the
north of Russia. Here are mammals,
birds, fish, mollusks, crustaceans, q
few insects of varied species, and many
spiders, but not single beetle. While
other insects have succeeded In some
way in migrating from the mainland,
the beetles have apparently been I'm.
able to cross the wide, Icy waters.

Time is a grief that wastes the heart
Like mildew on a tulips eyes,
When hope, deferred but to depart.
Loses its smiles, but keeps its sighA
What has become of the male flirt
Of yesteryear, the affable young man
who captured the hearts of all the
marriageable young women at the sea-
side or mountain resorts, the hand
some youth who kept all the feminine
hearts guessing as to which one Of
them was to be his choice at the end
of the season? He was wont to ac-
company one girl for an early stroll
before breakfast, sit with another on
the sands at noon, read poetry to q
prettier maid in sheltered nook Of
the veranda all the cool afternoon,
stroll on the sands in the cleaning
with yet another, take some other girl
for q row on the water In the glorious
moonlight, and dance and flirt with
every other attractive girl in the ball
room-the first one on the floor and
the last to leave it-far into the wee
sma' hours.
He had way Of making each girl
believe that he was in love with her
and her only. But the last week Of
the season he had suddenly decamped,
leaving long trail Of signing women
behind him. In each instance, he had
begged for the privilege of correspond
ing, and every girl watched long and
eagerly upon her return home for the
letter that never came.
Quite three-fourths Of the dlsap-
pointed maids and spinsters resolved
on another season at the same place,
hoping for last years beau to return.
These are the women who can never
be made to understand the tactics Of
the experienced male tlirt. If one
braver than the rest makes bold to
make inquiry as to why he left so sud-
denly last year and If he is to be with
them during the present season, they
usually learn things about him which
crush their fond hopes at one fell
blow.
"Oh, yes, Mr.. So and So was called
away suddenly by the illness Of one Of
his children" answers the hotel pro-
prietor, affecting not to notice the ex.
preston on his guests face. He kept
to himself the fact that the handsome
Beau Brummel had been paid by him
so much per week to make 1t pleasant
for the young women so that they
might remain the season through.
OF course, 1t goes without saying
that all men who are gallant to the
ladies are not flirts, but it is just az
well for women to be careful of their
hearts, keeping them we'll in leash.
He who makes love to many is not in
love with any particular one-unless
1t may be himself. Look out for new
flirt In last years nest.

does not say much Of his conquests
Of widows. for he knows he would not
be believed, for jollying does not stand
with them.
The pretty girls in the shops do not
escape his tongue. He boasts of flirt-
ing with new one every day, taking
her to a movie, and rot seeing her
when she passes the next time, being
attracted to a prettier face.
Foolish matrons, innocent of wrong
intent, but who cannot keep the desire
of be admired, come in for their share
Of his boaSting. These he handles
numerically, in a way which would
mean pistols and coffee for two were
their good husbands to know how
their names were handed about by
the scoundrel who boasts of making
conquests of them.
Such men are dangerous In any COM
munity. OF course their bark is worse
than their bite, but still they can
wink a good woman's reputation down
in less time than it takes to tell 1t
and do her a world of harm in awak-
ening suspicion (Which should never
have existed) about her. Men should
take the matter into their own hands.
Instead of applauding the boaster, or
giving his extravagant tales the bene-
fit of the doubt, he should be sternly
cried down, scoffed at, put to shame.
Those who listen-who have sisters
at home-can never be sure he will
not select their women folk to mix up
in his cleverly woven falsehoodS. Men
who boast of their wealth are bad
enough, but the men who boast of
the women they jolly are many pegs
lower down. Many of these boasters
are not really so bad as they would
have their chums believe them to be.
They invent tales out Of whole cloth
in which they show themselves up as
jolly fellows irresistible to woman
kind. They wed late, If at all. They
have given themselves bad name
which sticks to them.

OF those whom she trusted, the ship
wreck Of her affections, should not
judge her unheard. The problem of
the working girl whose path is beset
by dangers little dreamed of by the
majority of women offers a grave stu
alton for readjustment. The women
who employ young, innocent, inexpe-
rienced girls in their households should
have their attention called to the grave
error on their part of leaving such
girls in their homes unprotected while
they 60 off summering. eve are keep

woman will cOmplacently tell another
adding: "Annie will have scarcely any
thing to do except cook for him and

home q young man friend to pass q

young men are scarcely any trouble
Annie may thank her stars that I do
not close up the house, which would
Oblige her to secure another place

1t would be thousand times better
for many an Annie If they sought new
places rather than remain under such
conditions, especially if she has beauty
combined with innocence and an all
tOO-trustful nature. Many youth is

her figure.

ME must be there to prepare 1t for
them. Annie is praised for her cake,

There are no fellow workers about
