HOW TO PREPARE BUTTERFLY
COLLECTIONS


The first thing to be prepared is the
butterfy-net, which is a bag made out
of two pieces of musquito-netting-
blue is the best-about two feet deep,
tapering toward the bottom, and fast
ened to a piece Of stout wire bent into
a circle of about foot i'm diameter,
the two ends of which are fastened i'll
to light but strong stick three or four
feet in length.
The next requisite is something to
kill them with. Chloroform is best,
but in default of that ether will do.
1t should be applied to the head of the
butterfly with small camePs hair
brush.
Then come the pins They should
be long and slender; real butterfly pins
are best, but very fine common ones
will do. Then you must have paste
board box to put the butterflies i'm when
you catch them to bring them home.
The cases are the last thing to be
thought Of The frame Of the case
should be very much like a picture
frame, deep enough for the pins to go
in, with the back, on which the butter
flies are fastened, so arranged as to
come out, being held in place by little
cleats, and a plate of glass fixed secure
ly on the front. 1t should be made of
soft wood. SO that the pins can stick in
easily. The size of the case depends
upon the taste of the collector.
stretching" a butterfly is the pro-
cess of keeping its wings in the natu-
raj position when at rest. You should
have a board with grooves in it wide
enough to admit the body of the but
terri or moth, with little pieces of
cork fastened on it to stick the pins
into. Then take some narrow strips
of soft paper, press the wings of the
butterfly down with them as nearly in
the natural position as possible, and
fastcn thcms with pins. In few days
the butterfly will be dry enough SO
you can take the papers off and put it

HOW TO FILE SAWS.

Having been practical worker In
wood for more than thirty years, have
| learned much regarding nearly all
kinds of saws used in working wood.
If you wish your saw to run light, cut
fast, and work easy, 'joint" your saw
every time you file it. BY joining, do
not mean that you are to make the edge
exactly straight: although desirable,
It is not absolutely necessary. But
the edge should conform to some line !:
either straight or curved. The ease
and rapidity with which saw can be
made to do its work depends on the
principle of making every tooth do its
share of work. This is accomplished by
making the point of every tooth con-
form to some line, either straight or
nearly so if it be of that class known
as the straight saw. But if it be cir
cular or ''buzz" saw, then the line of
cut must be an exact circle, having the
centre of the arbOr upon which it re-
wolves the centre of that circle. If a
common hand saw has five, ten, or
more teeth slightly longer than all the
rest, they will do all the work and the
others will do nothing and your saw
work hard or easy just in proportion
as the number OF long teeth are few or
many. The same principle holds with
circulars saws. But the siraightness
of the cut depends'upon the points of
the teeth being level, e., no longer on
one side of the saw than the other. 1t
is common idea, and quite prevalent
even among mechanics that the run
ming or deviation of the saw from the
proper line of cut is caused by the set
ting. This is great. mistake. If the
points of the teeth be much shorter on
one side than the other, no amount Of
setting will remedy it. Therefore
joint, and take care to joint level.
When filing, stop the moment you get
to the point. In all prosecuting saws
for heavy work it is better to stop fill
ing little before the point is perfect,
if the points are thin; other
wise the thin points may be broken by |
bark, knots, or hard timber, and thus |
make your saw run and work ragged |
and hard. MASON JERSEY.

Black and thick the furry cape was;

Hiram came, without warning:
"Either,'' said he, "you are blind,

IRRITATING HIlisides.

CATION is also carried on. but somewhat
differently from the ordinary method.
A mountain stream which passes through
a farm is damned up every few yards,
and the water, by backing up into
bitches cut at right angles to the stream,
overtiows the field which lies down hill
from the ditch, and so on till it reaches
its proper bed again in the valley below.
This more primitive mode OF irrigation
could be resorted to at comparatively
small expense on any of our hilly farms
which have small stream running
through them. In other parts of Europe

Cooked Cucumbers.

We find the following in the Rural
Southland: 1t does not seem to be
very generally known says an ex
change, "that the cucumber is one of
the most useful vegetables we have, and
can be dressed in greater variety of
palatable ways than any other, except
the tomato. 1t is better than squash
and more delicate than the egg plant,
prepared in the same manner; can be
stewed, fried or stuffed, and, above all,
can be parboiled, mashed up in batter
and fried as fritters, more pleasant and
easily prepared than any vegetable or
fruit. When cucumber just becomes
too old to be used raw or for picking,
it is then at its best for cooking, and
may be used for that purpose even until
the seeds become hard. A raw cucum-
Der is, for most persons, an indigestible
abomlnation, however much they may
admire its flavor and odor.

Yeast for Hot Weather.

The susjoining recipe for yeast, adapt,
ed to hot weather and hot climates, is
given in Morgan's Trade Journal:
Boil two ounces of the best hops in
four quarts of water for half an hour
strain it and let the liquor cool down to
a newmilk warmth. Then put III a
small handful of salt and half a pound
OF sugar Drown; beat up one pound of
the best flour with some Of the liquor,
and mix all well together. The third
day add three pounds of potatoes, boiled
and mashed, and let it stand until the
next day. Then strain, and it is ready
for use.
"Stir frequently while making, and
keep near a fire. Before using, stir well.
1t will keep two or three months in a
cool place.
- kept this two months in a cellar,
where the thermometer ranged between
80 and l04 degrees.
This yeast is very strong half the
usual quantity necessary for baking is
sufficient

Sixty.four years after the establish.
ment of the Bank of England, the first
forged note was presented tor payment.
and TO Richard William Vaughn. q
Stafford linen draper, belongs the melan.
choly celebrity of having led the van in
this new phase of crime, in the year
1853. The records OF his life do not
show want, beggary or starvation urgin Q
him, but simple desire to seem greater
than he was. By ole of the artists EN-.
ployed land there were several engaged
on different parts of the notes. the dis.
covery was made. The criminal had
filled up to the number of twenty and
deposited them in the hands Of young
lady to whom he was attached, as a
proof of his wealth. There is no calcu-
lating how much longer bank notes
might have been free from imitation
had this man not shown with what ease
they might be counterfeited. From
this period forged notes became com
mon. His execution did not deter
others from the offense, and many q
neck was forfeited to the halter before
the late abolition of capital punishment
for that crime.

A Saratoga SensatiOn-An Afflicted
MilliOnaire,s Whim.

Among the recent arrivals at Saratoga
is young gentleman of great fortune
who is a regular summer visitor here.
and who has invariably made great
display. This season he proposes to do
the place on quieter scale, on account
of his mothers recent death. This is
how he goes about it: He has suite of
rooms at the Congress, that under his
supervision have been so arranged as to
present rather somber appearance, for
out OF respect TO his mothers memory
they have been put in mourning. A
deep black border runs around the cell
ings, while the wall paper is of a very
gloomy color; the furniture is from
Egypt, and is exceedingly grotesque in
appearance and mysterious in style !;
nothing like il has ever before appeared
in Saratoga. The gentleman announces
that he will not enter the ballroom this
summer, but will enter tain his friends
In his rooms-in an elegant and costly
manner, of course-no levity. He is TO
drive fourth hand, his groom and
coachman are to be attired in mourn
ing, and mourning lap robes, like iu-
neral pals, are to be spread over the
seats of his carriages, which will be
painted in keeping with the habiliments
of woe. For these embiems of sack
cloth and ashes he pays $500 per week.
Shoddy society calls this filial devo-
tion," and speaks of him as such a
good son, but SO odd and eccentric -
while common sense people are unkind
enough to call him snob, and one of
the most outre kind.-Sarato9a Letter 10
