A Great California Collection of In
sects.
(London Times.)

Some details have reached us
concerning large collection in en-
tomology made by Henry Edwards
of San Francisco during the last
twenty-five years. Prof. Davidson,
President Of the Academy of Sci
ences, states that the collection of
insects is one of the largest ever
made in the United States, and by
far the most complete ever made
on the Pacific Coast. 1t consists of
about 10000 species, comprising
more than 200, 900 specimens. These
include not only all the orders on
the Pacific Coast, but nearly or
quite all in the United States, with
u large representation of orders
from all parts of the world.
The collection is said to be really
one of the most complete known in
any country. 1t is valued at S12,-
900, or, rather, that is about the
sum expended in freights, cabinets,
and the purchase of rare specimens.
The labor Of twenty five years is
not estimated.

Miss Sherman's Snake Adventure.
IYankton Press |


The marriage of Don Cameron
and Miss Elizabeth Sherman re.
minds us of little story told some
time ago by river Captain. 1t
was during the navigation season
of 1876 that Miss Sherman took a
trip up the Yellowstone on the
steamer Far West, just to see the
country. Grant Marsh was Cap
tain, aud at one of the wood land.
ings, while he was scouting around
after dry sticks with a gang of
rou>ters, Miss Sherman came
ashore, accompanied by young
officer who was rather attentive to
her. While the couple were pro-
meOadlng up and down the river
bank something with white and
black stripes on it shot across the
trail at Miss Sherman's feet and
disappeared in hollow log. Wo-
mans quick instinct suggested in
moment the nature of the appari-
tiOD, aud she called to Captain
Marsh TO come and kill the snake
which had gone into the log. Marsh
went. He would like no better diver.

reptiles for the entertainment of
good-lookipg young ladies'. He
poked the end of a dead limb into
the hollow log and they all stood
back and squinted into the open.

This close inspection was entirely
unnecessary, as they sonu discov-
ered. A blind man a half a mile
off could have made q reliable afli-
davit as to the species of animal
Captain Marsh was stirring up
with n short stick. There was a
wild rush for the boat, hurried
order to steam ahead to the next
wood lot, and as the boat swung
out into the turbib current, Cap.
tain Marsh said: 'If Pd known
there was skunk in that log, you
may be sure wouldn't have been
poking around there to kill a
snake" After the voyage was
over and the party had disem-
barked, Miss Sherman's parting
words to the Captain were to be-
ware of Yellowstone snakes. And
he has ever since.

Juvenile Drinkers in Chicago.

1t is stated by Chicago author
ity that 10000 boys and girls of
Chicago are patrons of drinking
saloons, and many of them are
drunkards. About 5000 of these
tipping children are arrested an
nually for drunkenness and one
species of crime aud another, and
many of the saloons could not ex-
ist If it were not for these juvenile
drinkers. There was city ordi.
nance prohibiting the sale of liq-
uors to minors; but this was de-
clared invalid through some influ-
ence. A committee of the Citizens
League now call for a restoration
of the ordinance or the passage of
another one still more binding, to
save $4,000 Of Chicago's children
from intemperance and its result.

drunkards who ought to be at school

Age for Legal Marriages.

There Is considerable variation
in the different European States Of
the age at which legal marriage
can be contracted. In Austria, the
age Of discretion for both sexes is
fourteen. In Hungary, each relig
ious sect makes its own regula-
tions, marriage being regarded as
an entirely ecclesiastical affair.
Russians can contract marriages at
the age of eighteen in the case of
males and sixteen in that OF fe-
males. The italian law fixes the
age at eighteen and fifteen years
respectively. In Turkey there is
no general law. The French and
Belgian codes allow marriages of
young men at eighteen and girls
at fifteen, but powers OF dispensa-
tion in certain cases are reserved.
In Greece, Spain and Portugal par
ties of fourteen and twelve can
contract a binding marriage, but
in the latter country the consent of
the parents is necessary If the par
ties are under twenty.o .one. Ac-
cording to the amended paragraph
Oi tne new OeTtnan CIVIL marriage
bill, the state of wedlock cannot
be entered upon under twenty and
sixteen, respectively, though the
existing laws of Prussia and Saxony
permitted marriages at earlier pe-
riods. There is much dlssimilarity
In the Swiss laws, every canton
having regulation of its own. In
some of them the consent of the
parents Is necessary up to the age
Of twenty-five. The influence OF
climate upon the temperament and
constitution Is observable at the
earlier age at which marriage is
allowed in the Southern nations,
where maturity is reached at a
much earlier period than among
the Northern people.

A Famous Swallow.

On the ceiling of one of the
many pretty little shops that clus-
ter in the arcades OF the Palais |
Royal, Paris, there is an exquisite |
painting Of little swallo ". lonely |
and beautiful; aud the why and |
wherefore it is there, is related IN |
the following anecdote: Some |
years ago the room which the shop |
now occupies was part OF a cafe,
and its ceiling was beautifully |
frescoed. This cafe was principally
frequented by ambitious artists |
then not widely known to fame.
1t happened one evening that
some piece OF good luck befell one
of their number, and in the over
flowing of his gratitude, he invited
a few of his friends TO champagne
supper at the cafe, among whom
was Horace Vernet. Champagne
in too copious quantities begets
even in artists disposition to do
whatever they please, "regardless
of EXPENSE" and Monsieur Horace
Vernet (then entirely untitled and
undistinguished), particularly,
amused himself by letting the
corks of the champagne bottles fly
against the frescoed ceiling, much
to the detriment thereof. At this
vandalism the proprietor of the
place grew exceeding wrotli; but
the only reply M. Vernet vouch-
safed was that in day or two he
would paint something better than
that which he had injured. True
to his word, In short time he
made his appearance at the cafe to
fulfill his promise. The proprietor
objected to having his fresco still
further tampered with, and it was
by the greatest possible amount Of
expostulation that NJ. Vernet was
allowed to proceed with his design.
When he had finished, the famous
swallow was the result. Vernets
genius began to attract the atten-
tion of the world; the story of the
swallow began to be circulated;
the fresco of the ceiling was care
fully and completely effaced, leav-
ing the bird to stand in relief in
all Its beautiful proportions, and
two or three successive fortunes
have accrued to the tenants of that
particular room.
