A NOVELTY IN BUTTERFLIES.

an Amateur Naturalist.

Editor Gibson Made 1t For the Benefit OF
an Amateur Naturalist.
Puck has in its lithographing depart
ment German who is an amateur nat
uralist. He is a constant delight to the
editorial department, or, rather, he was
until Managing Editor Gibson hurt his
feelings last week. Schmidt-that isn't
his name, but it will do-carries part
of his natural history collection around
with him. Mr.. Gibson doesn't know
anything about those things, and he
doesn't want to.
Mr.. Gibson was pinching the creases
in his trousers one warm day, when an
unusually large cockroaeh crawled up
ON his desk and looked at him.
''Too bad Bunner has given his Cir
Gus" said Mr.. Gibson, ''but we may be
happy yet. -
He captured the cockroach and boxed
him up Then he cut pair of large
wings out of tissue paper and persuaded
Artist G. J. Taylor to paint them in
colors. When they were neatly fastened
on the cockroach's back, he placed the
animal ON his desk and summoned
Schmidt. The amateur naturalist is
nears1ghted and wears glasses.
Schmidt" said Mr. Gibson, ''here' S
new butterfly for your bug collector.
It flew into the Office just now"
By this time the cockroach was crawl
ing up the wall, handicapped by his pa
per wings. Schmidt approached it close
ly, and peering through his glasses ex-
claimed:
"Got in Himmel, Mr.. Geebson, das
ist Ungeheuerp'
''Yah, SO I thought, - returned Mr..
Gibson.
"Yah,'' said Schmidt, still squirting
through his glasses. ''Vate minute
for my glass. y
Off dashed Schmidt, and when he re-
turned he had large magnifying glass.
He focused it on the strange butterfly
and peered again. For moment he
was perplexed. He gently took a wing
between his thumb and first finger and
off it came. He squinted harder, and a
look of disgust settled on his features
He brushed the cockroach off the wall,
and with an explosive ''Donnerwetter!
he left the office.
''You can suit some men, said Mr..
Gibson thoughtfu1ly, again pinching
the creases In his trousers. New York

Sunday by the power of the relic of st.
Anne. She prayed before the relic
nine days, and claims TO have improv-

able to stand erect at the altar in the

Beef Tea Tor Roses,

All travellers agree that there are no.
where else roses SO magnificent as those
that cover the garden wall of the old
Roman palace in the Via Sistini, in
which once lived the famous epicure,
Lucullus. Rome is a city Of roses.
They run riot, but those of the old pal.
ace have become celebrated. Their odol
is passionate in its intensity. Their
form, their every petal, the way they
hang upon their stems, is picturelike.
The color of some is deep, deep crimson,
almost black at the heart. In others il
is cameo pink, changing to rich cream
tints at the center; others are the bright
yellow that mellows into gold; others
are the white that is like melted moon.
light in the petal cup. 1 lived next door
the house overlooking the palace gar
den, and I had frequently asked myself,
"What has produced these superb
roses?"
One day saw the gardener, whose
love for his roses is almost pagan, Wa
tering them carefully at the roots witt
clear dark liquid. 1 was sure that
this was the feeding that had to do with
the secret of their wonderful beauty.
On investigation learned that the
wealth of odor and coloring was the re-
suit of animal food. That mysterious
Hbation which had seen poured at thei1
roots was strong beef tea, made from
fresh cuts of beef and strained. The old
gardener himself invented the idea.
This reminded me how luxuriantly ]
had seen ferns of every kind, even the
most delicate, growing IN several spots
in Germany where the brewers had be-
slowed their refuse malt-Buffalo Elk,

The Model Wife.

she rises every -HIOruttsSs
Just when the roosters crow;
She gently splits the kindling-
Makes the old stove puff and blow.
She puts the breakfast on to cook,
And sings, as if at play;
And while the battercakes are made,
Her husband snores away!
The children show her gentle care,
Their nightly slumbers DER;
She dresses half a dozen,
And she whips dozen more.
Then to the room she doth repair;
Her husband hears her say:
i've almost worked myself to death,
Are you going to sleep all day?'
