Modest Claims Often Carry the Most
Conviotion
When Maxim, the famous gun inven
tor, placed his gun before a committee
ot judges, he stated its carrying power
to oe uiucU below what he felt tare the
gi n would accomplish. The result of
the trial was therefore a great surprise,
instead ot disappointment. It is the
saaie with the manufactrers of Chamber
lain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. They do not publicly boastof
all this remeav will accomplish, but
prefer to let the users make the state
ments, What they do claim, is that it
will positively cure diarrhoea, dysen
tery. pains in the stomach and bowels
and has never been known to fail. For

A STRANGE INSECT.
Tbf Avreto In Half Plant and 1?
Found la \>w Zealand.
Tho aweto. as the Maoris, or natives
of New Zealand, call 1:. or flipialls vl
resceus. as naturalists term it. Is fouud
In New Zealand and is a vegetable ca
terpillar of from three to four inches In
length, and so far science has not been
able to ^ay whether it i> a vegetable 01
1:1 insect. It is always found at the
foot of large myrtle trees that have
beautiful red Mowers 011 their stems
and a beautiful creeping clematis as
white as the snow. The Maoris call
this tree by the name of rata. 'Hie
aweto buries itself a m..;ig the roots of
the rata a few iucho below the ground
and then- lives uu il it is full grown,
when It undergoes a most wonderful
change. The sp re >it' a vegetable fun
gus, termed by naturalist- Sophoeria
rol erts.i. taste: - itself to the neck of
the caterpillar Ju-t b.tween the head
and the hrst ring and then grows up
ward to tiie height of from six to eight
im jes. Many people assert that there
Is uev. r more than one stem, hut such
is not the ease, for some have been
| focnil with two stems, although very
rarely.
The stet" ?'? > *'s it" out of the ground
above where the caterpillar i< living
about two or three inches. Below the
earth it grows into the aweto until it
tills up every possible space within the
outer skin without chang ng the form
of the insect in the slightest way what
soever. but simply substituting a ve?'e
table matter for animal matter. A?
soon as this takes place both the plant
auil caterpillar become dry and hard
and die, but retain exactly the same
form as when alive. The whole Has a
brown color, and the Insecl appear!) n
wooden caterpillar with a huge horn
standing up from the back of its neck.
How the caterpillar manages to propa
gate its species no one can tell. Usual
ly the caterpillar becomes a chrysalis,
the chrysalis changes into a moth, the
moth lays egirs, and these eggs again
become caterpillars, and so on without
stopping. Many reasous are givey why
the plaut shoots up from the back of
the neck of the aweto. One is that the
aweto has a slimy substance oozing out
from Its neck, which while the aweto Is
boring at the foot of the rata tree for
Its only food catches the seeds of the
fungus and holds it fast there till the
latter begins to grow. When It has
sucked all the vegetable life out of the
aweto It must naturally die, for it finds
no further nourishment. The aweto is
often found in larg<? numbers.

"What are you c'.o.ng with that plata
Blaise?" asked his sister.
"See," he replied. "When I si*ik?

Again he called forth the sound.
"When I grasp it with my hand sa."
he continued, "the sound ceases. I

Talked Jo at Like a Man.
| Miss Florence Marryat, the novelist

souie mannerisms of her own. The
following anecdote Is told by William
Downey : "'Here's a letter from Flor
ence Marryat." said Mr. Tiusley, the
publisher, to me one morning. 'She
wants me to liuy a new three volume
aovel from her. If I'm out of the way
when she calls you can talk to h(r.'
"I asked how I was to recognize her.
I 'You'll recognize her easy enough.' said
Mr. Tinsley. 'She Is a tall, striking
looking woman, and she'll talk to you
just like a man.' A few days later a
tall lady called. I fancied she might
be Miss Marryat She looked around
the office, and then, addressing me. she
said. 'Is Bill in?'
"^'o this I replied that Mr. Tinsley
was not In. Could 1 do anything for
her? 'I must see Bill himself," she
-aid. 'Tell the old bounder 1 called.'
'You're Miss Marryat?" I ventured.
Yes. But stop! IIow the dickens do
you know I'm Miss Marryat? I never
jaw you before.' "

The Snord of a Knight.
The sword of a noble knight was
mentioned almost as often as himself
lu the song* of the troubadours of the
middle ages. In the olden time this
trusty weapon was named and person
ilied as accomplishing countless bril
liant deeds. In tbe proverbs of all na
tlons it is spoken of with reverence and
trust. It represents the rauk and re
nown, the heroism and honor, the glory
and greatness, of nations in the past.
One of the first weapons made by man,
it became his most Important arm and
auxiliary of warfare. It has always
been the visible badge of birth, bravery
aud freedom. To surrender It was to
admit defeat and disgrace. So long has
it been the constant companion of rank
and valor that It has acquired n dignity
of its own. Like no other weapon, it
has a quality entirely distinct from its
?harai ter as a blood shedder. In Eng
land even at the present day the sword
ilou ? is considered adequate to confer
knighthood.
What la the MmhIhi of "Vulgarl*"
Sir Walter Scott's daughter one*
?poke in his hearing of something she
could not endure becau?*> It was vnl
gar. "M.v dear," replied h? father,
"you speak like a very young lady. I>?
you know, after all, the meaning of
this word 'vulgar?' It Is only common. .
Nothing that is common, except wick
edness, can deserve to be spoken of
I th contempt. When yon have lived
to my years you will be disposed to
agree with me In thanking God that
nothing reolly worth having or caring
about In this world is uncommon."?
