DEATHWATCH BEETLES. *
'heir Tapping Stands For Courtship
and Not For Warning.
Mucb mental anguish could have
beeu saved to past generations and
(some not so very far past if people
bad known I bat I lie mysterious tap
ping of Ibe "deathwatch" stood for
courtship and not death. A writer in
the Scientific American explains that
the various species of the beetle unobi
uui and their bigger relatives of the
genus xestobium not ouly attack furni
ture, but so completely riddle the
whole woodwork of old bouses by their
borings as to render the structures un
safe. Indeed, a beam that has been
tenanted by these insects for a num
ber of years is little better than an
outer shell containing a mass of wood
dust. The xestobluui is the common
deathwatch. while the anoblutu also
is in the habit of making a tapping
pound.
The nocturnal tappings of these In
sects, distinctly audible in a room
where there is an otherwise complete
absence of noise, has for many centu
ries been regarded by the supersti
tious as a warning of the approach of
death. This uncanny Interpretation of
a riiysterious sound is scarcely surpris
ing when it Is remembered that only
In recent years have naturalists dis
covered its true cause.
The little beetle has been found In
some Becluded spot, jerking Its hard
head at regular intervals upon the sur
face of the wood beneath It. So far
as can be told, its rappings constitute
a kind of courtship ritual. Obviously
they have no connection with the lat
ter end of mankind.
A RAIN OF FIRE.
The Great Meteoric Shower That
Scared Folks In 1833.
In Scharf's "Chronicles of Baltimore"
there la a vivid description of the star
ry hailstorm, the Bery meteoric show
er, of 1833, and old files of newspapers
are made luminous at that date with
the Impressions of editors and contrib
utors. One writer said It was the
grandest and most cbarndng sight ever
presented to the vision of man. Awak
ened from sleep, he sprang to the win
dow, thinking the house was on Are,
but when he looked out he beheld
stars, or fiery bodies, descending like
"torrents." The shed "In the adjoin
ing yard to my own," he wrote, "was
covered with stars, as 1 supposed, dur
ing the whole time." Professor Oltn
stead of Yale college thought that the
exhibition was the finest display of
celestial fireworks that had been wit
nessed since the creation of the world,
although be, too, while knowing its
character, was sufficiently imbued
with the theological spirit of the time
to believe that it was a solemn portent
that carried a divine warning.
One editor whose comment upon this
phenomenon was probably more quoted
thau any other he ever made said:
"We pronounce the raining fire which
we saw on Wednesday morning an
awful type, a forerunner, a merciful
sign, of that great and dreadful day
which the Inhabitants of the earth will
witness when the sixth seal will be
opeued. Many things occurring in the
earth tend to convince us that we are
now in the latter days."
Dreams of Genius.
An Interesting book might l>e written
on the subject of the dreams of genius.
Stevenson maintained that much of his
work was ouly partially original. His
collaborators were the brownies who
ran riot through his brain during the
hours of sleep. He Instances the case
of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. llyde." "I had
long been trying to write a story on
this subject." he writes, "to find a
body, a vehicle for I hat strong sense
of man's double being which must at
times come In upon and overwhelm the
wind of every thinking creature. For
two days 1 went about racking my
brains for a plot of any sort, and on
the second night I dreamed the scene
at the window and a scene ufterward
spilt In two, In which Hyde, pursued
for some crime, took the powder and
underwent the change lu the presence
of his pursuers. All the rest was
made uwske and consciously, although
I think I can trace In much of It the
manner of my brownies."—l.ondon
Cliroulcle.
Opportunities and Limitatiene.
The world is full of opportunities.
The world bus a place for all kinds of
!>eople. If a man look no higher than
pickax or hod. but be Industrious, the
world cau use hlui. The opportunities

laid the foundation of a broad geueral
education ss well as a lechulcal oue

loyalty. practically no limit to his ca

lights of Wasteful Debauchery That
Wore Him Out.
"Yes, I'ui dissipating too mucb." said
the red faced rustic as he rubbed Ills
head despondently.
"DissipatingV" gasped bis friend.
"That's the word I used. You've
beard that expression about 'burning
life's candle at both ends?' Well,
that's uiy case exactly. To tell the
truth,l have beeu having too gay a
time. Last night 1 went down to the
Blue Moon and drauk a soda. Then
some traveling man offered me a cigar.
Of course I had to take it."
"You dou't mean ItV"
"1 mean Just what I say. Then I
bought a ham sandwich. I ate it and
actually forgot myself and took an
other. On my way home 1 dropped
Into the church social for a few min
utes. sfctne of the youug ladies made
we try the 'penny dip,' and I drew a
blank."
"Such extravagance!"
"That's exactly it. Extravagance
aud dissipation will kill me. It wns 9
o'clock before 1 reached home."
"Nine o'clock!"
"Yes. 1 must be sowing my wild
oats. Well, I've finished now. Night
before last 1 called on my girl. She
wouldn't let me leave until I had taken
her out and bought chocolate creams.
Talk about pleasure hunting! I'm
simply worn out after these nights
of wasteful debauchery."—Pearson's

BLINDING A SHARK.
A Pearl Dinar's Ruaa by Which He
Made Good His Escape.
A successful diver must possess
great courage uud uerves of steel.
Such a man connected with a large
wrecking company wns visiting some
years ugo the pearl fisheries In the
gulf of California, where sharks
abounded. On one of bis trips In quest
of the penrl oyster he had a narrow
escape from a fearful death.
He had been instructed never to stir
from the bottom until he had looked
up and around. Fortunately he heeded
the advice. Having filled bis bag. he
glanced quickly about and caught sight
of a huge shovel nosed shark watch
ing him.
In an emergency men think fast.
Near tlie diver was a large rock. He
moved quickly to the other side of it.
hoping to dodge the ferocious monster,
but the maneuver did uot work. The
shark watched every movement, chang
ing his position by a slight motion of
his powerful tail.
Time was precious, and the diver
conceived the idea of blinding the
shark by stirring up the mud. Under
cover of that he might escape. He
worked for dear life and had the wa
ter thick with mud In less than half a
minute.
Slipping around the rock again, he
rose to the surface, having barely
strength enough to reach the side of
the boat, and was hauled on board
just as the voracious man eater made
a rush for him.
Romeo Not Taken Seriously.
Juliet was only fifteen years old, but
she thought she was quite grown up.
One evening, says Mrs. U. A. Pryor lu
"My Day." she was receiving on the
moonlit veranda a young man caller.
He. too, it seemed, considered himself
grown up. The anxious youth was
moved to seize the propitious hour and
declure himself. Juliet wished to an
swer correctly and dismiss him with
out wounding bltn.
She assured him mamuiu would nev
er consent.
A voice from within—they were sit
ting beneath her mother's window
settled the matter:
"Accept the youug man. Juliet, If
you want to. I've not the least ob
jection. And let him run along home
now. Ite sure to bolt tbe door when
you come In."
Evidently tbe mother had small re
spect for boy lovers aud wished togo
to sleep.
A Prince Edward Island Legend.
There Is a delightful legend among
the people of l'olut Prim to the effect
that when the English attacked the
French fort at that place a chain ball
from one of tbe attacking vessels cut
the steeple from the old church located
on tbe very point. lu falling It toppled
over the promontory and carried the
bell which It coutalned Into the aea

their living by the spoils of the ocean.
An Office Engagement.
One of Waahlugtou's gilded young
men came rapidly down the steps of
his lioui% half an hour after uoon the

"Whal's the rush?" asked a frleud.
