Tom .Marshall, Kentucky's famous
wit, attended a phrenologist's lecture
one night. Marshall had been drinking,
and when he returned to Ids hold a Her
the lecture he drank more. The drink
gave him belief in Ills phrenological
powers, and he declared that lie could
"read" heads as well as the lecturer.
So It was decided to test his skill upon
some of the guests of the hotel. Both
Indies and gentlemen assembled In the
parlor, and Marshall, who knew most
of them, furnished an hour's uproari
ous fun by hitting off their fallings.
When he had finished an empty headed
dandy whose head had not been exam
ined loudly nnd pompously called at
tention to the fact that Marshall bad
neglected him. "I beg your pnrdon,

ly excuse me. I am too drunk to rend

Caterpillars of Blklm.
In the sal-tree forest of Slkltn. in the
tropical gorge of the Teestn, Is one of
the breeding grounds of the myriad
butterflies that swarm over the coun
try. A famous traveler says that In
May and until the middle of June the
tender leaves of the great sal-trees are
literally alive with voracious caterpil
lars. The presence of these caterpillars
in such overwhelming numbers is ex
plained by tlie fact that they are dis
tasteful to birds. Fowls that were offer
ed them rejected Ibein after a trial
with disgust nnd went on wiping llielr
bills for some time afterward. Thera
are two species, one a bright coral and
the other green with stripes. They can
break their fnll from the tall trees by
letting themselves down on long silky
threads.

us out of ourselves, or seem to rush
hurriedly past us, nnd they leave uu
