A BUTTBRFLY'S BATH.
What a Naturalist Says That He Wit
messed an Australian Insect Do.

NhAL IL NdtuFaIlSC says mat lie Wit
messed an Australian Insect Do.
1t is commonly thought that butterfly
breads water as fine lady breads rain;
but evidently that is not true in Aus
tralia.
The case of an Australian butterfly de-
liberately entering the water to take a
bath is recorded by NJ. G. LyeI. Jr., in
the Victoria Naturalist. He saw it alight
close to the water, into which it backed
until the whole of the body and the lower
part of the hind wings were submerged,
the two fore legs alone retaining their
hold of the dry land. After remaining
i'll this position for something like half a
minute it flew away, apparently re-
freshed.
Mr.. Lyell says: During the morning
| noticed d number doing the same thing.
In one instance no less than four were to
be seen within space of not more than
three yards, and to make sure that I was
not deceived [ captured several as they
rose from the water, and found in each
case the body and lower edge o. the hind
wings quite wet. While in the water the
fluttering of the wings, so noticeable
at other times, was suspended and so in
tent were the butterflies in the enjoyment
of their cold bath that they could hardly
move, even when actually touched by the
net. Apparently the heat Of the weather
drove them down to the water. and i'm
mediately upon emerging they flew ND
again to the hillsides.'
Butterflies are often seen apparently
sucking in the moisture around the edge
Of pools, but they have never before been
seen actually TO enter the water.

Spirited Meeting of the Federated
Trades Council-The Picnic
at Richmond Grove.

There was a spirited session Of the
Council of Federated Trades held on
Saturday evening, at which President

clans, carpenters, printers, brieklayers,

he said, were in great distress, while the
strikers were receiving encouragement
from every direction The manufactur-
ers are sending nearly all of their work
to the East, and in most cases II is there
refused. The speaker said the strike had re-
solved itself down TO question as to which
side could hold out longer, and, judging
from the manner in which thar friends
were responding, he was sure the union
would win.
A circular from the San Francisco
Council was read favoring a convention
of the representatives of all trades coun-
ellis and assemblies of the Pacific States
and colonies with q view to etfecting a
thorough federation of organized labor.

A HISTORICAL PARALLEL,
Former Card-PIaying Scandal Which
Shook the Throne of England.

They had celebrated case' in card
playing scandal among the nobility of
England more than half century ago,
says the Brooklyn Standard U7sf0n.
Thackeray writes Of the gambling OF that
period as if it were far worse than the
dissipation of to-day. ''In 1897 he
writes in THE Four Georges" F." occurred
famous trial which pretty nigh put an
end to gambling III England. A peer of
the realm was found cheating at whist.
and repeatedly seem to practice the tricl;
called 'sauter la coupe His friends of
the club saw him cheat and went on plav-
ing with him. One greenhorn who had
discovered his foul play asked an old
man what he should do. 'Do?' said the
mammon OF unrighteousness. Back
him, you fool The best efforts were
made TO screen him. People wrote him
anonymous letters and warned him. but
he would cheat and they were Obliged to
find him out. Since that day when my
lords shame was made public. the gam
ing table has lost all its splendor."
Thaekeray did not live to see the re-
vival, not of such fast and furious play in
society, but of cheating on comparatively
small stakes, such as the current reports
of the haccarat scandal disclose.

Attended by All the Labor Unions
Sport at the Grove.
The picnic gwen yesterday afternoon
at Richmond Grove for the benefit OF the
striking Iron Molders of San Francisco
was both largely attended and well con-
Quoted, and the gate receipts must have
netted a sum that viii materially swell
the fund of the striking molders.
At o'clock the several trades unions
formed in front of Federation Hall, on
Eighth street, between J and X, and
headed by the First Artillery Band
marched in body TO the picnic grounds.
The Typographical Union, with about
seventy-five members, led the process
sion, and the rear was brought up by the
Iron Molders.
In the line were representatives Of all
the unions in Sacramento, which affiliate
with the federation, and also several
prominent union men of San Francisco.
In all there were nearly 500 men in the
procession, and the line was upward Of
two blocks in length.
When the grove was reached the body
was dispersed and the band took up
position on the dancing platform, where
scores OF couples were waiting for q
'whirl." Dancing was kept up during
the afternoon and evening.
BY 4 o'clock in the afternoon an i'm
mense crowd had gathered on the
grounds. Some listened TO the music and
witnessed the dancing on the large plat
form, while others watched the iig-dances
on a platform about ten feet square. The
music for the latter was furnished by
James Murphy, and the old-time lfgs
elected applause from the enthusiastic
spectators.
But the greater portion OF the crowd
chose to witness the games, which were
made all the more exciting by the
lively competition. There were young
mems races, fat ladies' race, young
ladies' races, and tug-of-war, the prizes
being donations made by different firms
in the city.
During the afternoon j. S. Collins of
San Francisco, Secretary of the Iron
Molders' Union, delivered an address,
reviewing the causes which led to the
strike of the San Francisco molders, and
stating what had been done by the unions
in the past seventeen months in support
OF the striking molders. He told Of the
conduct of the owners of the different
foundries since the strike, and advised
the union men to be loyal to their cause
The Committee of Arrangements was
