A email box containing an ineect, also
a letter of date 25th alt., were r&eived by
me from North Yakima. Washington.
They were sent by my friend. Mr. George
8. Courier, formerly of Jamesbnrg, N. J.
Says the letter, "the bug was captured by
me to-day, and no one around here knows
what it is. £an you enlighten us on the
matter?” I had never seen a specimen,
and the anomalous thing threatened to
elude identification. But in detective
parlance—
It U pretty band to play the quiz, .
II but a fellow show* hla phiz.
So 1 must look my object in the face,
despite the saying, one should not look a
gift liorse in the month. With glass in
band tlie mandibles and oral armiture
were examined. When tracing the name
of a natural object it is something to lie
positive as to what it is not, since that
brings oa. nearer to what it is. A mere
glance got the creature clown to the Or
tkopUra, and soon it was landed into a
restricted family of the same, the Locus
tididst. And here science is ortnodox,
where the people are not; lor it applies
the word locust exactly as does the
Bible, to certain of the grasshoppers, sod
not to the cicadas, as is done in popular
speech.
But there are fully six genera of tlie
locpsu proper. So on looking farther s
peculiarity of the feet to noticed, which
throws oor stranger into the group known
as the Sienopelma(i..i. The term to built
op on two Greek words, and to intended
to mean the "narrow-soled iocnats."
This will bring ua to the genua; bat as
this contains several spre'ea, which ol
these to it? Looking at the specimen
again we observe ita ornamentation; the
abdomen to banded with alternate ring*-
of block and white. This ends the quest,
for it derides the species, namely, fascia
tus, the banded. Thai the search for
title to okwed, and the scientific name of
oar interesting stranger to found to be
stenopefmatus Jasciatus, the "banded nar
row-eoled locust.” Hence the technical
terra to really pictorial if only understood.
The specimen sent me to a male, and
wingless. Thia to true, also, of the fe
males, for the species to entirely apterous.
And mark the interesting fact which here
cornea out. In our vast country we have
•one forty kinds of true locusts. Of these
twenty-three spe. ies ere wingless, or hsve
these organs abortive, so that flying is
impossible. Hence the usual habitat of
these apterous ones to in treeless regions.
Prof. Thomas, who first described this
insect, says the species is found in Wyo
ming, Utah, Southern Utah, Southern
Idaho and Texas. They are, however,
rare. The conditions of life are some
what bard with them; hence they can
not, by increase, become • scourge.
I find myself much interested in this
bit of very homely animated nature at
which I am looking for the first time,
and even seem to be writing about it on
toe simple impulse of instinct, and not
without regret that the interesting thing
moat go into the cabinet in such a mutil
ated condition. But even thus—how sug
gestive of the wisdom of the creator!
"Sermons in stones?” Yes, verily! But
in this bit of defunct animation to a treat
ise on the relation of the environment,
and the economy of the forces in nature.
Usually science is too sober-faced to
countenance the punster. Yet this heav
enly-eyed one has her tender humor.
This, now the "bended narrow-sole” of
the tribe locus:id*, had to wait the com
ing of the Wise Men of the East, the ten
deriootaof the colleges, to give it such
christening as should introduce it to sci
ence, and make it another contributor to
the understanding of the divine ways in
nature—for the correct knowledge of even
on insert may reveal "tilings unattempted
ia prose or rhyme.”— B. L., in Monmouth
IS. J.) Democrat.

The notorious Jounswr men-eslmg tig
rrtn fans at last hern killed by a young
fonts officer. Tbit tigress baa been the
aoourne of the neighborhood of Chakratn
for the last too years, ami her victims have
been innumerable. On one occasion abe
soiled one oot of a number of banters
who were sleeping together in a but. car
ried him off, and deliberately made him
over to harcmha to play with, while aha
protected their innocent gambols from
being tlieturbed. Hie cotnpaotonn were
eventually forced to take refuge in a tree
tom bar savage attacks. The tigress
went back and stood over the prostrate
formed bar victim and purred ia a catlike
and salfueinplacent manner, rolling over
the appareuUy lilelem body. .Site then lay
down a few yards off, and with blinking
eyea watched the gambols of her young
progeny. In a few momenta the man sat
up and tried to beat the youug brutea off.
They were 100 young to bold Urn down’
eo be made e desperate attempt to shake
kimeell free, and started off at a ran; but
before he bad gone twenty yards the tig
rasa bounded out end brought him back
to kar'enbs. Once more the domed
wretch had to defend himself over again,
tom their pleyfol attacks. He made re
newed attempts to regainblatoedom, but
was seised by the old tigress and brought
heck each time belore be had gone many
yards. Hia groans and cries (or help
were heartrending; but the men on the,
tree were paralysed with (ear and units'
unable to move. At leal the tigress her
etH joined in tbs gambols of bar eube.l
and tbe wretched man was thrown about
and tnaaed over her head exactly as many
of as have teen cats throw rale and ir.kw
about before beginning to feed on them.
The man's efforts it escape grew feebler.
For tbe lea’ lime thay sew him try to get
away -n hia bands and kneea towards e
large flg tree, with the coin clinging to
kin limbs. Tbe Anal attempt was as
fall is an the mat. Tbe tigress brought
him back once mom, and then held him
down under her lompswe, and began her
livngmea before i heir eyea.
It want 1* io mkb.be beset that the
young Coopers Hid officer sod a student
attacked on fort. They were working op
her trail, fifteen yards apart, when and*
denly Mr. Uamaston beard hie younger
companion groan, and tuning round aaw
him boroa to the ground by the tigress.
Mr. Osman ton luckilv succeeded In shoot
ing her through the spine, and a second
ball stopped her in mid-spring. Mean
time his companion rolled over the hill
and was eventually discovered insensible
a few fe.rt away from his terrible assail
ant. He is terribly mauled, and now lies
at the Chakrata Station Hospital, where
hopes of his recovery are entertained.—

A lew Style af Can.
The Northern Pacific has just received
twenty new colonist sleepers from Bar
ney, Smith & Co. that are models of
beauty, convenience and comfort, and
contain many improvements over the
ordinary colonist sleeper, or so-called
tourist car, generally in use.
Each car has fourteen sections with
gentlemen’s toilet room in one end, and
the ladiea’ room, supplied with marble
topped washstand and force pomp, in tbe
other. In one end of the car is a Baker
fireproof beater, which beats tbe car by
means of hot water conducted through
pipes. In the opposite end of tbe car ia a
cooking range surrounded by good kitchen
facilities. Opposite this range is a twenty
gallon cooler for drinking water, also a
large tank holding seventy gallons of
water for general use.
These cars are finished in natural woods
—ash, maple and butternut,—beautifully!
polished, and at night are lighted up with
eight Acme laropa exactly similar to those
in use on Pullman sleepers. The sections
are divided by sliding head-boards, effect
ing a privacy not possible in the present
style of can, where the the sections are
separated by a wire netting. An ingeni
ous arrangement of the seats enablss
them to be extended flat or with head
rests when prepared for bedding, and
under each seat is s box in which can be
stored bedding or small baggage. In
each section there is also provided a mov
able table similar to those in use in PnU
man cars, which is extremely convenient
for many purposes. All cars are provided
with curtain rods. *
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Northern Pacific employs a porter to
look after these sleepers, all holders of
second class Montana and Pacific coast
tickets are allowed to use them free of
charge. The Northern Pacific haa a
greater number of these sleepers Is ser
vice than any other transcontinental line,
their total equipment now amounting to
sixty-three ears. It is clenr that in pro
viding for the comfort of the traveling
public the Northern Pacific, with its new
vestibule*! dining and sleeping ears and
superior accommodations for second class
passengers, lends all its competitors.—The

Dotard's Specific has entirely cured me of
my troublesome complaint and although
I have not used the medicine for many
months, I have had no return of the dis
ease. I shall always feel grateful to you.
