A RuTTERFLY's RATH.

Standing on the banks OF the Hop
River ia Jamaica one brilliant July day,
watching the dragon-nies, or "darning
needles" darting over the water, | saw
a sight that was entirely new to me, and
one that filled me with wonder
A beautiful butterfly, of a sort
common in the West Indies, known TO
the naturalsts as Victorina Steneles,
and oddly banded with pale green and
deep black bars across its wings, foated
lazily down TO the waters edge and
settled on the damp sand.
Walking quickly to the very edge Of
the water, where the breeze sent in little
ripping waves, the butterfly waded in
so that its body and head were com
pletely submerged, and then slowly beat
it's wings to and fro, seemingly in al
attempt 10 cover them with the water
also. OF course il could not do this, for
it was so light in proportion to the cx-
pansc of its wings that whenever it at.
tempted to force them under the water
its feet lost their hold on the ground and
for an instant it iloatod on the surface.
Quickly flying up from this pcrilous
position, it rGgained the shore aud again
began the attempt 10 get entirely under
water.
All this was a most interesting spec
tacle TO me, and was entirely at loss
20 understand its meaning. | had been
a student Of butterflies for nearly twenty
five years and collector in many diff
ferent countries, yet ! had never wit
messed such sight before.
The weather was not especially warm,
in fact "the DOCTOR" as the Jamaicans
call the strong sea breeze that daily
makes life more endurable, was unusually
cool that day. SO il could hardly be Tor

ings, or it would have been u sight long
since familiar 90 me and 90 other collec-
tors. was well aware that butterflies
do get overheated and out OF breath /;
often after watching two OF them fight
ing furiously in the hot sunshine, or
having raced them myself across the
fields. Ihad seen them tapping their
wings lightly up and down, thereby
forcing the air more rapidly through the
little holes at the base of the wings
through which they DO their breathing,
and thus cooling themselves off

Trapping the Beaver.

The famed beaver, in both structure
and habits, is by far the most interesting
animal killed and hunted for the sake of
its skin. SO much was its fur in demand
prior to the introduction of silk and rab-
bits fur in the manufacture OF hats that
the poor little chap had in some districts
become nearly eSterminated.
The beaver trapper, bc he white man
or Indian, must of necessity lead soil
tary, desolate, and dangerous life. To be
alone in the widest solitudes of unknown
wastes demands a courage and endurance
of no ordinary kind. A beaver is a very
difficult animal to trap. The trapper
knows at IA glance the various marks of
the animal, called signs. These discov-
cred, the next step is to find out how
the beaver gets to his house, which Is
generally in shallow water. Then "A steel
trap is sunk in the water twelve or four
teen inches below the surface. lmmcdi-
ately over the trapis the bait, made from
the castor, or medicine gland Of the
beaver, suspended from u stick, so AS
just to clear the water, with long cord
and log of cedar wood ms buoy, the
latter to mark the position of the trap
when the beaver swims away with it.
The fated little builder-perhaps return
ing to his home and family scents the
tempting castor He cannot reach IL as
he swims, so he feels about with his hind
legs for something to stand on; this, too,
has been crafty placed for him. Putting
down his feet to stretch up for the Gov
eted morsel he finds them suddenly
clasped in n steel embrace; there 10 no
hope OF escape. The log, revealing his
hiding place. is seized by the trappcr
and the imprisoned beaver dispatched by
n single blow on the head.
The principal use made of the beaver
fur now il In the manufacture Of hats
and coats. The long hair is pulled out
and the under fur shaved down close and
even by a machine. Chicago Times.

Made the Judge Listen.

Judge Van Brunt Of New York has a
habit which sorely distresscs members OF
tho bar who appear before him, particu-
larly young men, OF talking TO his asso-
cintes on the bench while the lawyers are
delivering their speeches. Mr.. Choate
was about to make the closing speech in
"A highly important case recently. Forty
minutes had been allotted him for the
purpose. He had scarcely uttered n
dozen words when Judge Van Brunt
wheeled around in his chair and began n
discussion with Judge Andrews. Mr.
Choate ceased speaking Immediately,
folded his arms aud gazed steadily at
the Judges, his handsome face trilc
palcr than usual A hush fell upon the
courtroom. Judge Van Brunt, noticing
the stiffness, turned around and looked
inquiringly at the silent advocate.

my final argument. shall not only need
every second Of that time TO DO IL justice,
but shall also need your undivided at

"And you shall have it, " promptly re-
sponded the Judge, at the same time
acknowledging the justice Of the rebuke
by faint flush on his cheeks. IL was
an exhibition Of genuine courage, but
one that was more fully appreciated by
members Of the profession than by the
laymen who witnessed it. New York

A FIGHTING BIRD.

Doctor Franklin, when he recon-
nended the adoption of the turkey as
our national emblem in place OF the
,ften unclean and not particularly
courageous bald eagle, had a great many
good reasons To give on behalf Of his
candidate. Among them he did not
fail TO include its fighting qualities. A
turkey cock is not bird of prey, il is
true, but he is gallant fellow when he
engages in battle, and decidedly more
willing To meet an adversary of his own
'ize than is al eagle; at least an eagle of
the particular species selected TO hold
our American thunderbolts in his talons.
We are used to hearing tales of un-
fortunate infants carried OIL by eagles
and likewise of rash boys in search of
eagles eggs or young eaglets, who are
attacked by the wrathful parent birds
while clinging to the sides of precipitous
cliffs, and just escape with their lives.
A few--a very few-of these tales are
probably true. But for every youth
terrified by shrieking eagle tlapping
about his ears, how many young Ameri-
cans have trembled at the gobble of a
well-grown turkey cook, with his .wattles
aaming, his breast rutiled TO the utmost,
his wings half spread, and wrath in his
every feather! How many have ig-
monarch of the barn yard
And now, il the capacity to slay be
really an addition TO the dignity of a
bird of power, we find that the turkey
can claim that also. There have been
various anecdotes Of the arms and legs
of small children broken by the blow of
his mighty wing; but these do not count
because the same tales are related of
geese. But an antiquarian searcher
among ancient newspapers recently dis
covered in an old journal published in
Newburyport, the obituary notice of "A
man killed by a turkey.
He was very aged gentleman, it ap.
pears, and slightly childish. A mild
day of Indian summer having come, his
relatives put him in n comfortable arm
chair on the porch, wrapped in loose
dressing gown and wearing on his head,
to keep off colds and neuralgia, peaked
red nightcap with a tassel on the end.
There he unfortunately fell asleep; and
as he drowsed his head nodded; and
as his head nodded, his nightcap wagged.
The scarlet tassel bobbing thus con
spicuously caught the eye of turkey
that was wandering about the place,
undergoing his autumn fattening no
doubt, and was regarded in the light of
challenge.
Swelling and gobbling meeting with
no response, the bird at length flew Mt
the poor old gentleman, plucked his
nightcap off, beat him with his wings
until he fell out Of his chair, and as the
paper puts it, $50 ill-used and NAL
treated him IA he soon thereafter died. "

glorificaton for so dangerous u bird. --

A Cantonnnent.

The cantOnmcnt at an Indian town

The native town is usually inclosed by
high walls and is accessible only by a
few gates. II is brimful Of people, who

outside the town and mile or two away
is the cantonmcnt, AN unwalIed district,
where each house stands in It's own in

again on the part OF the beautiful
banded Victorina. This time, however,
l WAS more fortunate, and quickly had
the butterfly in my net and moment
after il was between my fingers and
under the powerful lens, which is my
constant pocket companion.
At once all was clear TO me. for here
and there on the hairy covering Of its
velvety body, but especially near the
bases of the wings, were little bright
carminc patches. which on close examin-
alton, after stirring them up with pin.
proved TO be made up of scores OF tiny
red parasites.

OF its legs plainly told me that IL was
growing uncomfortable for want of air.

most of the tiny parasites had been
drowned off; and after three or four such
baths l could not find one remaining.

Since then | have ascertained, with
the aid of powerful microscope, that
the minute parasite discovered on the
butterfly is armed with most formids-
BILE proboscis, or beak, which is at

its eight legs. each armed with many
claws, it is ablc to cling to the butterfly,
and extract its life juices. Thus il is
plain that these pests must become n
terrible drain on the butteriiys system,
and it is in self-defensc driven To this
most eifectual, though apparently very
unnatural procedure of taking bath
for taking TO the water is about the last
thing that most OF us would expect of so

The Age OF Civilization.

The recent discovery in old PhGnicia
Of clay tablets, inscribed with writing.
and evidently used for purposes OF cor
respondenco by the people who lived at
the time Of the exodus and before, makes
it evident that civilization was at much
higher state In Syria and the nd jacent
countries in those days than modern
scholars have been wont To suppose. Vol
tare was no doubt writer of great
originality and acumen. though from our
present standpoint, wonderfully ignorant
OF antiquity. lie finds it hard to believe
that Homer's poems could have been
written down before 800 B. c.. and as
serts that papyrus had not been invented
in Egypt In the time Of Moses, though
we now possess in the maxims Of Ptah-
hotop manuscript as old as the pyra-
mids We find, on tho contrary, that
not only in Egypt or in Mesopotamia was
the art Of writing known in the time Of
Moses, but that the inhabitants OF Pales-
tine also could pen a brick epistle, which
in the space OF "A few inches contained as
much information as can now be con
denscd into sheet Of note paper. Such
letters were neither heavy nor bulky,
and could be carried i'm the turban or in
the folds Of the shirt bosom just as cas-
lily as paper letters are now 80 carried,
with the additional advantage that they
were imperishable, as is witnessed by the
fact that they are now being read 3f00
years after they were written. - New

rows of stitching. The most prevalent
trimming, and at the same time the most
eccentric that was ever in vogue, is an
arrangement of something or other
bias bands, rutiles, ruches, insertions,
anything, in fact, that strikes the fancy
around the top of the skirt, usually
midway between the knees and the waist.

No Whales In the Gulf Stream.

II is a remarkable geological, piscator-
ial or photographed fact that whales
are never if allowed TO follow the die
tates OF their own Wills found within
the limits OF the gulf stream. The
shrewd Yankee whalcrs were the first TO
gain AN accurate knowledge of the ex-
tent and limits Of the great artery which
pulsates between this country and Eu-
rope; this by studying the habits and
haunts OF the whales. Finally it was
decided, and rightly, too, thtt the nom
whale. producing area was the gulf
stream Franklin learned this curious
scientific fact from the New England
whalers, and in 1870 published chart
for the benefit of the mail packets or
mail ships plying between our large
coast cities and London. Curiously
enough this chart was not gotten up for
the purpose Of adding to the sum total Of
photographed knowledge nor for the
purpose OF outlining the gulf stream,
but solely as guide TO the best route
for ships to pursue in order to keep
from encountering whales.-lSt Louis
