The Hatching OF Butterfly BrOOds.

II would be difficult to picture a more
elegant or more interesting sight than
the Matching of the butterfly broods in
the 'Insect House" during the past few
days of almost summer heat. The glass
eases, filed with damp moss and earth,
aud adorned with portions of tree
trunks or plants suited to the habits of
the moths, are peoplcd by these exquis-
ite and delicnte creatures, ns one after
another separates itself from the chrys-
alis case in which il has been sleeping
all the winter and, huttering upward
with weak and uncertain movements,
exposes its full beauties to the light.
The wings OF the largest kind, such as
the great orange-brown "Atlas" moth,
are Ms wide rs those of II missel- thrush
and the great size of this and othe spc-
cies increases the strange likeness to
bird forms which is so marked even in
the smaller English hawk-moths. The
giant moths of the tropics, unlike the
rest Of the insect world, have faces and
features not devoid of expression.
Some resemble birds, others cats. Some
are covered with long, soft plumage
like the feathers of the marabout or the
plumes of swans. Others are wrapped
in silky mantle like an Angora kitten,
or clothed in ermine and sables. The
depth and softness of these doway
mantles make the impulse to stroke
them suggest itself at once yet, when
the head keeper lifts them from the
branch on which they rest, as a falconer
lifts his hawk, the feeling that they are
neither moths nor animals, but long
winged birds is equally irresistible. -

Moral Training In japan.

The moral education of japanese

FLAVOR OF EGGS,

The favor of eggs depends very
much on the kind of food given to the
poultry. When hens are fed largely
or almost exclusively on milk, the yollx
is lighter in color, the white has
milky look, and the whole egg is watery
and less firm in texture than those laid
by grain-fed hens. The taste of the
egg is also affected, being inspired and
unsatisfactory when boiled or poached,
and less fine for ordinary cooking pur-
poses even. There is no use in saying
that the idea of the quality of eggs
being influenced by the SOD of the
hens is mere whim; since h ~ a we'll

in the neighborhood of tho sea, and

The waters of China abound in fish,
and it is estimated by high authority
that one-tenth of the people of that
empire derive their food from the
water. The coasts are crowded with
enterprising and industrious fishermen,

great number of ingenious expedients
are used to capture the fish. In the
