The Hatching Of butterfly Broods.

Itwould be difficult to picture 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 glsm
cases, filed witk damp moss and earth.
and adorned sifr petitions Of tree
trunks or plants suited to the habits Of
the moths, are peopled by these exquis-
lite and delicate creatures as one after
another separates itself from the chrvs-
ais case in which it has been sleeping
all the winter and, futtering upward
with weak and uncertain movements.
exposes its full beauties to the light.
The wings OF the largest kind, such as
the great 0range-brown ATLAS" moth.
are as wide as those of missel-thrush
and the great size of this and othe spe-
cies increases the strange likeness 10
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 a silky mantle like an Angora kitten
or clothed in ermine and sables The
depth and softness of these downy
mantles make the impulse to stroke
them suggest itself At o2ce 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

girls to hear her excited intonations
and marvellous pronunciations as it
would have amazed Mr.. Richardson
himself. Della was nice-Iooking
girl, and she was intelligent her
choice of books being, as we have seen.
faultless. The other girls were older
and stouter, but they had not outgrown
their taste for romance, and they
listened brayely to what they could I'M
derstand.
a dark shadow appeared at the win

enough to say
Its only Phil Crowley; never

Crowley saw that he was discovered
and entering the kitchen, took chair
with nod of recognition to his three
hostesses, while Della went ON. "And

Maggie soon went off to bed, hui
Della persuaded Bridget to stay.

well after.
This spring she had risings in the ear, and
large bunch came upon the neck. 1t had been
there about month, and seemed very painful.
She also seemed very nervous, we thought from
the effects of the poisoning. felt she needed
something for the blood, saw your medicine,

At the recent annual meeting the citi-
zens of Freeport voted to raise 81, 900 to
repair the old town hall, now situated
near the Maine Central railroad on
School street. They also voted to build
a new school building, whose estimated
cost was s., 900, and for this purpose
voted to raise this sum of money. Such
school building can be ready for occu-
panoy not earlier than the winter term of
the present year. There seems to be an
imperative need for building for the
present school year-one that could be
made available for schools early in April
could the present town house be made
use of for this purpose the one hundred
extra scholars could be accommodated
at once without inconvenience and with
out loss. One thousand would change
the old town hall into a respectable
school building.
At this juncture John T. Oxnard, one
of the prominent citizens comes forward
and makes the following offer for the
consideration of the voters, that he will
build a hall 50x70, for town purposes
with rooms for town officers, both rooms
heated and lighed when in use by the
town. The building shall be situated on
his vacant lot on Main street near his
residence and just back of the present
location of the band stand. The hall
shall have the capacity of $50 single
seats. The conditions he imposes Are
these: That the town shall lease the hall
Of him for period of ten years at $3.50 a
year and the building shall be exempt
from taxation during term of lease. 1t
is proposed to call a town meeting at
once to consider the proposition above
indicated and if the proposition of Mr..
Oxnard is accepted we shall see nice
building at once upon our main street.
