(There was sonoo protest, but in

Bow Hot*. Brrnli* tho -Cocoon.
It. has always been a puzzlo to tho
entomologists to know exactly bow
moths, especially those of tho larger
varieties, escape from tno cocoon or
tough silken hag which completely
incloses them during tho period of
transformation from tho grub cr
worm state to that, of tho perfect
winged insect. Profosso'r Oswald
Lent ter, a member of tho London
Entomological society, has been
studying this cooeon breaking habit
of Iho mollis and in so doing has
made a rcmarkablo scientific disoov
ery. Tho larva to which the learned
hug doctor gave most attention was
that of tlio moth known ns tlio Di
cranura vinula. It has long been
suspected that this species of tho
“long tailed moth” usedsomo liquid
to soften tlio cocoon when the prop
er time to omerge from it arrived,
and Hr. Leather’s experiments have
revealed tho exact nature of tho
powerful solvent In milking his
studies tho professor opened up tho
cocoons spun by tlio insects and put
the imagoes in artificial silk bags
with an. opening r.t the end. When
the time arrived for instinct to tell
tho imago tp apply his solvent, the
liquid escaped into little glass tubes

This discovery is anew ono in en

stroy the human skin, and it is at
least passing curious that it should
ho distilled in an insect's mouth.—

“Can’t you see that tho bouse is

“No, ma'am,” ho' replied. “As 1
can only see tho cutsidoof if-1 know
nothing about the inside. Then the
houso is vacant?”
“Yos, sir.”
“Family moved out?”
“Yos.”
■ “Where did they move to?”
“I don’t know.”
“Rather sudden, wasn't it?”
“They went when they got ready,
I suppose. Do you want to rent?”
“Oh, no.”
“Bill colleotor?”
“Noap. Yon see, ma’am, I called
here on Friday and asked for on old
pair of shoes.”
i “Oh, you did.”
1 “The lady told me to call again
and sho’d bunt me up a pair. That’s
why I am here.”
“Well, they moved yesterday.”
“Yes, they moved yesterday.
They evidently figured on it and
found it cheaper .to move than to
give mo the shoos, and so they took
a flit. Perfectly correct. It’s not

She Had en “Early.**
A girl who spent last summer up
among tho White mountains wa3
puzzled by tbo mysterious and ex
tremely respectful air of the natives
in speaking of a certain fanner’s
daughter. Tho rustic young woman
herself wore an air of depression
and-eilent endurance, for which, as
she had more advantages than most
of ber companions, it was hard to
account. At length tbo visitor ven
tured to inquire into tho matter.
“W’hy, haven’t you beard she had a
nerly?” The only meaning “nerly”
conveyed to the girl’s mind was the
rustic pronunciation she had some
times heard given to gnarled or
gnarly apples, and she wondered if
human beings suffered from a simi
lar disease. She learned, however,
that a “nerly” meant “an early”
disappointment in love, and that
such victims were regarded in a
measure as heroines.—Philadelphia
