A Cloud OF Butterflies.

One of the most beautiful sights in the
world is the annual migration of butter
flies across the Isthmus of Panama.
Where they come from or whittier they
go no one knows, and though many dis
tinguished naturalists have attempted to
solve the problem, it is still as strange a
mystery as it was to the first European
who observed it. Towards the end of
June a few scattered specimens are dis
covered fitting out to sea, and as the
days go by the numbers increase, until
about the 14th or 18th of July the sky
is occasionally almost obscured by myr-
lads of these frail insects. Viewed from
a distance, or through u telescope, the
spectacle is indiscribably wonderful. AS
the sun shines on the millions of swiftly
futtering wings, the result is a glisten-
ing and pulsating haze of golden green.
When the wind drives them to the earth
they can be caught in handfuls. Swal-
lows and fy-catchers single out the
largest and chase them often for miles.
On being examined the butterfly is found
to be of the beautiful Uraina 7elus
species. Its wings are of velvety black
and bronze and golden Creep. Occasion
ally it is seen to settle on branches OF
trees and flowers before leaving land
altogether. But in spite of the most
active exertions of naturalists, the origin
and destination of the insects are abso.

in Southern California. Every year the
area devoted to it is very much increased,
so that in a few years we expect to sup

crn California in 1885 was about 475, O0O
boxes, or $500, 600 pounds, and more
than a quarter of these were grown and
cured in the San Bernardino Valley.
The ubiquitous .croaker is already be,
ginning to croak of over-stocked markets
and low prices, but rs ''good wine needs
no BUSH" so good raisins will not look
long for a market, AMI, rs after all, the
area is very limited where they can be

nothing to fear in the future.

Their eye is sometimes dark, but gener-

Imperfect Action IL. Horses.

49, " ~
One of the most important questions
to the, horse breeder is a conformation
that shall best produce unity of muscular
action and the power to endure ex-
haustive labor. In the draft horse the
limbs are apt to fail first, and in all
horses the fore limbs suffer soonest. In
this is OF course included the hoofs, and
upon city pavements these soonest show
disability. To produce perfect action in
all the parts there must be unity of &C.
ton, one part with another. The diges-
tive organs must be perfect and properly
supplied to furnish power t, every part
It the system. The lungs and heart
must be ample and the barrel round,
since the lungs and heart supply a~rterial
force and the barrel gives room to the
digestive organs. Hence, the breeder
must be conversant with the anatomy
and physiology of an animal, not from a
purely scientific standpoint, but from
the practical view as it applies to the
size, conformation, and quality Of the
several parts as related to each other.
Yet, however good a foal may be
naturally, he will degenerate year by
year If he does not have proper food and
exercise, and the exercise must be in re-
lation to what he has to do when put to
labor. The draft horse must be trained
to walk as the chief motion, for the
ability to move a load at a fast pace
largely constitutes his value. If there
are constitutional disabilities these may
be partially overcome, or at least be less
ened, by proper training, and his useful
ness still further assured by proper APP
pliances. One of the most common fsults
In work horses is stumbling when going
ct an ordinary pace, either the walk or a
slow trot. In relation to this a veterin.
cry writer states that there are two causes
tending to such action. One Of these is

The Wives OF Teheran.
Truly the government of the shah is a
paternal me-. The women of Teheran,
writes q correspondent, went q few
weeks ago in a body to the kings palace
and complained that the coffee shops (of
which an extraordinary number have
been opened lately took away their
husbands from their work and their
home duties, causing them to spend all
their money in drink and smoke. After
all, the drink was merely tea and coffee.
The shah sympathized with the wives of
Teheran. He acted promptly, and, as
the commander of the faithful is said to
have done under similar circumstances,
he ordered that all the coffee houses in
the capital were to be closed. Closed
they were; closed they remain. The
next day the royal eaict went forth that
all the provincial coffee houses were to
be closed. They, too, are all shut up.
Fancy such an order in a civilized coun-
try; but there nobody grumbles. The
women, of course, are in ecstasies; but
the haunters off coffee houses, who form
by far the larger proportion" of the male
sex in the larger Persian towns, are in
despair.
