TheRev. gentleman is well perserved and as an oxyouent of the gospel truths he shows evidence of strong mental vigor. He was born of Roman Catholic parents, but left that church at about the age of twenty years.

It is not only a tribal mn- biem. but also a family sign; not mere- ly a symbol of nationality, but also an expression of religion; not simply Among the Ojibway Indians there are no fewer than twenty-three differ- ent totems. Nine of these are quadru- peds, marking out the wolf, the bear. the beaver and other clans. eight are birds, five are fishes and one is the snake. Some extraordinary superstitions re- garding totems prevail in Samoa. Thus it is believed that if a turtle man eats of a turtle he will grew very ill, and the voice of the turtle will be heard in his inside saying: “He ate me. I am killing him.” If a banana man uses a banana leaf for a cap he becomes bald. It a butterfly man catches a butterfly it strikes him dead. It a fowl man eats a fowl delirium and death results, and so on, all going to show that the totem has something of the quality of a tetich as well as the significance of a family emblem. Regarding toteznism, it is to be noted that the relation of mutual help and protection includes also the totem it- selfâ€"that is to say, it a man takes care of his totem he expects the to- tem to return the compliment. If the totem is a dangerous animal it must not hurt his clansmen. The scorpion men of Senegambia declare that the most deadly scorpions will run over their bodies without hurting them. There is a snake clan in Australia which holds to a similar belief. Among the crocodile clan of the Bechuanas it a man is bitten by a crocodile or even has water splashed on him by one he is expelled from the clan as one esteemed unworthy by the totemâ€"Housekeeper.

[low Owl: Catch Chicken. When I was a chunk of a boy I shot a horned owl. the spread of whose wings was four and one-half feet, and. to the. surprise of the boy who had car- ried it for several miles. the weight was only {our pounds. They were rather numerous at that time in that section of the country and were trou- blesome about carrying off chickens, which mostly roosted in apple trees about the farm buildings. The belief that they could carry :mxxy full grown hens was' a common one. it was also commonly believed that an owl never picked a. chicken 03 the roost. but. alighting on the limb. crowded the chicken OE and as it flew toward the ground caught it on the wingâ€"Forest and Stream. t. I. a Poor Welter. Not many lawyers write legibiy, and the late William M. Evarta wrote such an execrable hand that it was very of. ten Men“: to read it. This caused a mietake at one time which resulted in the eminent lawyer receiving a retain. er for ten timee the amount he request- ed. The late William Alien Butler, an eminent member of the New York bar, we! conneel for one of the legateee in the celebrated Stokes will case years It was apparent that Mr. Evarts’ chlrography misled the client. This is the story as told by a lawyer who was familiar with the facts, but it is not known whether Mr.Evarts returned the dilrerence of $22,500 or whether he worked it out. An Insect That Perfectly Inltutel a Dead Tree Lent. A moth usually rests with his fore wings outspread over the prominent pattern of his hind wings, says Walde- mar B. Kaempflert in the Booklovers Magazine. In any other posture he would inevitably meet a swift death. A butterfly, on the contrary. rests usu- ally with his wings uplifted and pressed together. Otherwise, the gaudy upper surface would be as conspicu- ous as the blacl’ink on this white paperâ€"a signal for attack by relento less and voracious foes. In order to hide himself the butterfly has, there- fore, lavished all the resources of his imitative art on the under surface of his wings. By far the most astonish- ing instance of this kind is aflorded by the East Indian Kallima butterfly. the blue upper surface of which is richly and ostentatiously adorned with a stripe of orange, but the under sur. face of which bears a truly staggering likeness to a leaf. when the wings are drawn together. Here we have an insect that apes not merely the ap« proximate shape and color of a dead leaf. but also the midrib with the deli- cate velning, the sharp point. and the short stem common to many tropical leaves. lbw!" flow It In!

Something like $15,000,000 was involved, and Mr. Butler told his cli- ent that he would like an associate in the conduct of the case. He was asked whom he would suggest, and he said he thought Mr. Evarts would be the best man owing to his superior knowi- sdge of the law and his great reputa- tion as an advocate. The client agreed, and Ir. Butler was instructed to see it Mr. Marts would come into the Accordingly Mr. Butler wrote to Mr. mm and invited him to be “societ- ed in the cue and name his retaining fee. In due time he received a reply, which he new at a glance was in the mmetive end, without stopping to read it further, clipped it into another envelope end mailed it to hie client. In a dny or two he received a. call from Hr.
