Living specimens of a queer Insect have lately been shown in Cambridge, England. They were brought from Rangoon by Capt. C. E. Williams. T^e insect is a species of mantis, and its body and legs are both shapedl and colored to resemble a beautiful flower/ It feeds on butterflies, and while it is lying in wait for them under a spray of leaves it looks exactly Jfike a blue blossom with a black spot in the cen ter resembling the tube of a corolla The black part of Hs body is drawn out into a lon| green stalk. The re semblance to a flower is perfect, and butterflies and' other insects light on it in search of nectar and' are im mediately seized by its fatal claws.— Philadelphia Record. Fireside Journeys.

The Minneapolis Times will dia» tribute money to successful contest ants. $35,000.00 in free Cash prizes. 500 prizes in all. We notice in a recent issue oif the Minneapolis Times that the pro gressive Twin City Daily has inaug urated a popular voting contest for the benefit of subscribers and their friends. It is termed "The Great Profit Sharing Contest," and both old and new subscribers may enter upon the same conditions. The subject matter of the inter esting contest in which the large cash prizes will be paid is the Total Popular Vote to be cast for Presi dent of the United States on the 8th day of November, 1904. It seems to us that every man, woman ahd child in the United States should be interested in the greatest election the country has ever had. It costs nothing to enter the Times contest as every cent paid is applied on subscription. We would suggest that our readers secure a copy of the Daily or Sunday Times containing the list of prizes which are offered. Any of the prizes are fortunes in themselves and surely would be acceptable by residents of this community. FEEL IMPENDING DOOM.

Superstitions of Miners. Mprfa colliery, in South Wales, it notorious for its Uncanny traditions. The "seven whjstlers" were- heard there before a great explosion in the '60's, and before, another in 1890, when nearly a hundred miners were en tombed. In December, 1895, it was said that they had. been heard yet again, whereupon the men struck work and could not be induced to re sume it until the government inspect or had made a close examination of the. workings and reported all safe., In July, 1902, another instance of a col liery strike, founded upon the same superstition, occurred in England^ Von Moitke and Hit Work. In 1870, a few days after the mobili zation of the German army had been ordered at the beginning of the Fran co-Prussian war, a* friend of Moitke, who" was' anxious to see him on im portant business, called upon him, '4n tome trepidation of mind, expecting to find him gverwhelmed with -work.
