Iu tba Winter a Caterpillar and to tha Spring riant. In winter Cordyceps Chlnensis is a nine-segmented caterpillar spending the principal part of his time in the loose earth Just under the surface. As spring approaches he burrows deeper, and finally stretches out or curls up in a comatose state at a depth of about four Inches beneath the sod. While in this enforced sleep he is attacked by a species of paras! tlo fungus the aforesaid parasltio fungus fastening itself upon the helpless worm's head. From this vantage ground the fungus shoots In two directions; a long, pulpy stem starts for sunlight, and a thick, hard and woody substance proceeds to fill the skin of the sleepy worm.

None escape; it is simply a clear case of the transformation of animal into vegetable tissue. When the proper season arrives the Chinese herb-hunters repair to favorable localities with sharp sticks and other instruments for removing the vegetable worm from his last resting place. It is highly esteemed as a medicine, and at one time was thought to have even more potent efiects in certain sicknesses than ginseng, which is well known as a Mongolian panacea. In the market Cordyceps is sold in small bundles which consist of two distinct portions the larger part; the worm itself, being of a yellowish brown color and an inch la length. The upper portion is the spur of the fungus, a rough filament of a grayish color, very flexible, more or less twisted and distorted.

The root or that portion of this fungus medicine which Is composed wholly of the poor worm's body, is the exaot counterpart of what the Insect was when endowed with animal Ufa the root" plainly showing the segment bands, rings, lega breathing holes, eta It is a curiosity well worth seeing. Burying a 'ting. In the parish church of Soho. England, dedicated to St. Anna were interred in 1766 the remains of Theodore, king of Corsica The want of funds necessary for the payment of his troops caused him to come to London in search of fresh supplies.

Here the luckless crowned head was arrested for debt, and for some time was lodged in the King's Bench prison. Horace Walpole tells that as soon as Theodore was set at liberty he took a chair to the Portuguese minister. The king was not successful in finding his excellency at home, and not possessing a sixpence In his purse wherewith to pay for his ride, desired the chairman to carry him to a tailor in Soho, whom he prevailed upon to harbor him. Next day the unhappy sovereign fell sick, and in three more died. The poor tailor, who gave King Theodore what meagre hospitality he could afford, was himself unable to pay for the Interment of the royal remain.

The expense was defrayed by an oilman in Cora ton street, called John Wright, who' said that he was willing for once to pay the funeral expenses of a king." Slack To Secret.
