Government Breeding; Them tor the
Purpose of Producing New Kind
of Silk An Interesting
Experiment.
Some very remarkable bogs axe bet
ing- hatched and reared just at present
by the experts of the government bu
reau of entomology at Washington,
Most people would suppose that there
were enough insects in existence with
out resorting to artificial propagation.;
but the fact is that this kind of scientific
work has a very useful purpose in view.
This, too, notwithstanding thefact that
the species selected for breeding are
the most pestiferous that can be found,
The bag aatchory, or m-sectary, as
it is called, is a brick building close by
the department of agriculture. In con
struction it resembles a greenhouse, the
upper part being of glass, so as to admit
plenty of light for the insects. It is
divided into two compartments, one of
which is artificially heated for the ben
efit of tropical and other species that
require warmth, while the other is cold
On shelves all around the interior, and
on the floor as well, are glass jars and
queer glass-sided boxes containing a
great variety of odd-looking objects.
The objects in the glass jars are parts
of plants, fruits, dried-up vegetables,
pieces of branches or roots, etc. One
does not see any bugs at all, and the
reason why is simply that the veg
etables, fruits and so forth are the
natural food of the insects, and the lat
ter are either inside of them or else
are "done up" in cocoons for the win
ter. For example, there is a huge cocoon
nine inches long hanging from a twig
in a jar of exceptional size. This is the
temporary communal dwelling built by
the so-called "gregarious butterfly" in
Mexico. More correctly speaking, it is
the caterpillars transformed later into
butterflies that construct the cocoon
for a residence while they are under
going their metamorphosis. The co
coon looks and feels as if made of thick
parchment, and at the lower end of It
is a small hole that serves for a door.
The labor employed in building it must
be enormous. Under a powerful mag
nifying glass, it is seen to be composed
of an infinite number of shining and
very slender silken threads, crossing
each other in every direction. When
cut into, the nest is found to contain
100 or more chrysalids, attached to the
walls on the inside each one repre
senting a future butterfly.
The habit of combining together to
build a house seems to be peculiar to
this species among butterflies. The silk
composing the, nest is exquisite, and
from 20 to 25 sheets of it can be stripped
off from the great cocoon as if woven
in a loom. If the silk could only be
spun, the "gregarious butterfly" would
soon displace the silkworm, and the
silks and satins of commerce would be
of butterfly manufacture. Unfor
tunately, the difficulty remains un
solved, though many attempts in this
direction have been made. Could a so
lution of the problem be found, silk
would become at once enormously less
costly, inasmuch as the cocoons of this
kind of butterfly are to be gathered in
immense numbers as a wild crop in. the
forests of Mexico. Boston Transcript.
TOOK A COLD SHOWER BATH.
A Sew anil Elderly Pnptl Stayed
Under It Nearly Fifteen Minuteu.
A gentleman about CO years cf ape en
tered a gymnasium and physical cul

and announced his intention of becom

The elderly pupil vns told after his

Dotted Veil Home.
A doctor has moved into a new house,
one of the finest in Washington. He calls
it the dotted veil house. When people
seem surprised he explains. This physi

to diseases of the eyes. The money to
build the mansion was accumulated
from fees which were earned in the
treatment of eyes injured by wearing
dotted veils. . Not all of the profession

When one comes to discuss rifles,
range and the average distance at which
game is shot one is likely to strike con
tradictory opinions. A prominent hunt
er, in speaking recently of the great ef
fectiveness of the American rifle, said
that in his experience elk, moose, bears
and white-tailed deer were most gen-;
erally killed within a range of 175 yards, j
andi that this was so because they were
apt to be discovered' within this dis
tance, not because of any lack of car
rying power in the rifle. Wben this j
statement is contrasted with the pros-j

to such an arm as this is that with the
long range one never knows where the
bullet is likely to bring up once it has
left the gun. A few years-ago a hunter
fired at a deer at a distance of 183 yards
as measured after death. The animal
was standing at the foot of. a slight
bluff of loamy sand in which not a
stone or rock was to be seen. The rifle
was fired and the deer fell, the bullet
having gone clear through the heart
and missing- the ribs on- both sides.
Immediately after a hail was heard
from a point about 200 yards back of the
shooters, and an angry man was heard
asking where in thunder they were
shooting.as the bullet had just skimmed
over his head. A close examination
showed graze and l?af holes aboee the
heads of the ether partv of hunters.
and it would seem that the bullet had
traversed two sides of a triangle, from
the rifle to the quarry, and back from
the quarry to the ether base cbrneT ol

with an ordinal rifle sighted to 100,
150, 300 and 500 yards, what would be
the. possible result with the corner-
sheathed bullet, low tralpctorv and
2,200-yard .range in a wooded district?
In still another case a well-known
hunting writer from the west now re
siding in New York chanced upon a
moose feeding about 200 yards, awav

Following the trail, the moose was
eventually bagged, and it was found
that the bullet had entered' at the

clearly that the animal had been hit
by the ricochetting missile. An exam
ination of the spot where the turf flew

stories might be related of the vae-ariea

The Touching Lesson of a Very Chart
. table Life.
The. story of George Francis Train
sitting in the park surrounded by birds
and children is a familiar one. It is
not so generally known that North St.
Louis was the home of a child and bird
lover who died some years ago, says the
3t. Louis Republic.
It was this gentle old man's custom
to leave home every morning directly
after breakfast with his pockets full of
bread crumbs and rock candy. He
would go to one of the parks near his
home and sit down on one of the bench
es there. No matter how cold it was
he never forgot those bread crumbs.
'At sight of him the birds would fly
toward him. There were not so many
3parrows then -as now, but sometimes
hundreds of them would flutter about
him. He has often" been seen sitting
there quietly -with the little birds
perched on his hat and shoulders.
When the birds had collected he
would bring out his store of bread
crumbs, and then there would be af east.
The rock candy he kept for children
and poor people. He was always gener
ous with it. He would say that it was
pure and would help the poor wretches
to keep warm.
It is told of him that he once paid a
debt of $150 for an old friend. The
creditor was told to say- to inquirers
that the bill was paid by "one who loved
him." When they asked the old man
about it he smiled, but did not acknowl
edge that he had paid it.. He merely
iaid:
k"Ah! Love has paid many a debt."

Omo
Millard Family.
' 'Sometimes fate deludes one into
thinking there is such a treasure as
justice on earth, but she generally caps
it by dealing a blow more stinging than
the first.
At least that is the sentiment of the
Millard family. The Millards live on a
fashionable South side avenue, in a
row of quiet, unpretentious houses.
Their residence had always been the
abode of peace and harmony till the
fetal day when the daughter of the
people next door came from California
for an extended visit. Her husband
came also; he wore a silk hat rigidly at
every outdoor appearance, and had a
fondness for frock coats at 7 a. m., but
nevertheless he has nothing to do with
che story. The daughter proved to be
musical. The Millards had not known
that the people next door possessed a
piano till the daughter came, and at the
first were rather cheered by the ripple
of tttve piano keys which generously
penetrated the thin wall. After a week
the pianist settled down to hard work.
Previously she had scrambled through
a varied reportoire, but finally decided
on her life work, the Millards assumed,
wfoen they heard Paderewski's- "Minuet"
one day from three a. m. to luncheon
time, and from then till dinner Wag
ners "teigmund's liove Song-" The
Millards' brows wea slightly corru
gated at dinner, but they did not com
plain. After a few days, however, a
feeling of nervousness, restlessness and
even acerbity of temper made itself
manifest.
"I really don't know what ails me!"
said Mrs- Millard, fretfully,
irritable."
I am so. i

A. LAWYER'S DARING ACT.
How He Risked His Own Life to
Save That of a Client.
In the Presence of the Jury He Swal
lowed Deadly Poison Bnt Was
Pumped Oat and Win
His Case.
Two old-time Chicago lawyers were
lalking the other day about some noted
cases which had been tried in Cook
county and of the attorneys who had
shone at the Chicago bar. The name
and fame of "Billy" O'Brien, once one
of the most eminent criminal lawyers
that ever stood before a jury in this
state, came up and then- followed a
flood of stories about him.
"O'Brien," said one of the lawyers,
"defended in the Cook county criminal
courts," 260 people, and during all his
varied and exciting career never lost a
case. He was one of the quickest men
to see and take advamtaere of a point in
favor of his client and when pressed to
the wall would somehow squirm out
and make what seemed certain convic
tion a point for triumphant acquit
tal. ' .
"O'Brien- once had a client who was
on trial for murder and all the evi
dence had apparently gone to show con
clusively that malice and the coolest
of deliberation had prompted the pris
oner to take the life of the victim. He
had administered poison. The elements
of the deadly drug had been taken from
the decedent's stomach, and on being
analyzed were found to be identical
with the remainder of the poison in
the bottle, which was offered in evi
dence and which stood before the eyes
of the jury. The horrid skull and
crossbones glared from the side of the
bottle, which was turned toward the
12 men who were soon to decide whether
the prisoner at the bar was to. live or
to be swung into eternity. The court
room was crowded with an interest
ed throng, which was at a loss to know
what sort of an attempt O'Brien could
possibly make in behalf of his client.
"The state's attorney was just about
to close his opening argument and in
a. few moments more the attorneys who
had never lost a case would certainly
meet his Waterloo. But O'Brien was
not to give up without a struggle. Ne
cessity inspired him, and he had already,
before the evidence was completed, pre
pared an outline of the manner in
which he would approach the jury.
''O'Brien knew a physician, an ex
pert chemist, whom'ihe could trust, and
this man had examined the poison, and
the attorney knew too well from his lips
that it would kill him. Furthermore,
he knew it was this drug that had
killed the person for whose murder his
client was on trial. O'Brien called this
doctor into the seclusion of a private
room and said:
"Doctor, this is a desperate case. Tell
me candidly and .to a certainty how
long I can live after drinking the re
mainder of the poison in that bottle?
" 'Why, O'Brien, you couldn't live more
than three minutes,
"The face of the great criminal law
yer lighted up and he saw hope that he
.......
might yet win the case,
" 'Three minutes,' said he, 'that ie
enough.'
"Then it was finally arranged that
the doctor should be in waiting for the
attorney after the latter had got
through with his argument' He took a
station in an adjoining- room, where
0'Brieni could quickly reach him and
waited with his preparations to conn-
teract the poison. The state's attorney
closed his argument with e,n apparent
triumph, the hangman's rope was al-
most dangling before the eyes of the
prisoner. Everyone in the courtroom
craned his neck as O'Brieni rose and
faced the jury.. All were surprised to
see the calm, and confident look which
clothed his face. It seemed impossible
that he could have any hope of acquit
tal or even of saving his' client's life.
He paid more attention to the medical
witnesses than he did to the others and
labored to break down their testi
mony. "After a pretty good argument from
the facts which he had to work upon
he drew his address toward a close and,
picking up the bottle which contained
the remainder of the drug, held it so
the 12 men could see it.
" 'Now, gentlemen,' said the attorney,
as he paused and significantly looked
at the bottle, 'just to show you that
this is not the deadly poison which the
-witnesses for the state have said it is,
I will drink it and prove that it is harm
less.' "There wasn't a person in the room
whose hair did not stand on end and the
people sat as motionless as if dearth had
grasped them. O'Brien, confident and
composed, raised the bottle to his lips,
drained it ,to the bottom, set it on the
table and, as coolly as if he had. been
j sipping wine, turned to the men in,
wuukc iiamia tne uie oi tne prisoner
rested and said:
" 'Gentlemen of the jury, I thank you
very kindly for the attention which you
have given- to my argument.'
hen, making a graceful bow, he
-walked quietly from the room. This
much the jury and audience saw. but
J the physician in waiting knew the rest,
t By the use of antidotes, empties ' anti
skillful use of the stomach-pump, he
jj naa in a few minutes removed all the
poison from O'Brien's stomach and
-quickly the lawyer came back into the
room, coolly sat down and listened c
the closing and disjointed remarks of
the prosecuting attorney.
"The jury retired. It had believed
that the bottle contained poison, but
O'Brien had taken it and was not dead.
How could it be? Anger, malice pre
pense, deliberate murder, long-plotted
homicide, every element of criminal in
tent vanished at the thought that
O'Brien was still clive. In'five minutes
after they had retired the 12 men re
turned a verdict cf not guilty. O'Brien
is dead,- but to-day the murderer walkf

Americans Come In for a Generous
Share of Praise for Their Cor- -reet
Conduct Some Curi
ous Thlnars.
Had the initial stage of existence been,
ordered under different circumstances,
and I had been given the choice of a
birthplace, I might have elected to be
born an American citizen somewhere
outside of New York. For what is oi.e
to say of a city that will cot peimityou
to carry pickles through the streets cn
the seventh day nor allow you to kiss
your best girl on the sidewalk on any of
the others? I might not want at ar.3
period of life- to do either one or the
other of these proscribed acts, yet if it
should happen that I did' I should hate
to call my own that city which forbade
me.
Indeed, the niceties of life in New
York have been somewhat of apuzzle
to me. I have not been permitted to
smoke a cigarette while walking along
Fifth avenue with a lady, but I have
been allowed to take her to the theateT
and occupy a front seat in the stalls
without donn in g even in g d ress a thin g
no lady would tolerate in London.
Spanish cities are famous) for their
noises, but New York I found to be
noisier than any three of them. My
nerves were at a tension during the
whole of my visit. It is not an unceas
ing, distant rumble that soon becomes
no discomfort, as in London, but a suc
cession of jarring, jerky noises, dis
tracting to the senses. Why you tol
erate it I cannot understand. What
with cable cars, the "L" railroad, the
cabs and carts rattling over roadwa-r
with no pretense at paving, and the
thousand and one street cries, New
York is a perfect inferno of clamor.
Indoors I find another curious thing
curious, you must remember, to the
Englishman. You heat your houses to
suffocation and then drink gallons of
iced, water to keep cool to the ruin of
your digestion, temper and nerves, un
til you have become the most dj-speptic
people under the sun and the special
prey of the quack-medicine venders.
You claim to be a sensible people, and
yet your candy stores are filled every
day by crowds of struggling women
who eat indigestible pastry to such an
extent that the graveyards of America
contain more tons of gold than of
teeth.

The Foot of the Reindeer.
Everything in any way connected
with Alaska and the Klondike is of spe
cial interest at present, and among
other items the foot of the reindeer de
serves particular mention. The forefoot
oi the horse' to a great extent deter-
mines its value, as upon this portion
! of its anatomy its speed and endurance
i depend. The foot of the reindeer is
most peculiar in construction. It is
! cloven through the middle and each half
. curves upward in front. " They , are
j slightly elongated and capable of a
, uuoiucrauie amount oi expansion,
(When placed on an irregular surface,
i wticb. is difficult to traverse, the animal
- contracts them into a sort of claw, by
which a firm hold is secured. When
moving rapidly the two portions of the
foot, as it is lifting, strike together, the
hoofs making a continuous clattering
noise, which may be heard at a consider
. able distance. It is this peculiarity of
tne feet that makes the reindeer so sure
footed and so valuable in that rocky and
uneven country, where almost any
other animal would prove a failure as
a beast of burden. N. Y. Ledger.
