 Late one afternoon the past winter the manager of brokerage house in New York wus preparing to go home, and had removed u coin from his trousers pocket tU use for car fare when he discovered that he had left his cup's in thc wardrobe in un adjoining room Ike placed the coin on the topof his Jc5l, bat was delayed on his rcturn by a clorll on matter of business, As q result the money remained on his desk after his departure.
 He remembered the circumstance, however. when he reached his home, but concluded that the piece was lost. Much to his great surprise, though, he found the quarter on the desk when he reached his office next morning At least a dozen persons must have seen it lying there after his departure the night before,
 Tho circumstance impressed him deeply and he thought of it many times that day while in the battle for preference on the floor of the stock cS- change When he started for home that night he purposely forgot the money and the next morning he was not surprised to find it still on the desk With a few strokes of his pen he made a small sign bearing these words: Honesty Fund" and placed it beside the quarter. Business kept him on tho exchange most of that day, but when he started for home that night lo the fund had grown to seventy-tive cents It was not touched that night and tho next evening it had swcllcd to nearly two dollars. He had no idea as to what he would do with the money at the time but he concluded that Co longer let it remain exposed over night would be severe temptation to some weak person and so he locked it up.
 Thereafter it was under lock and key at night, but was always exposed during business hours, but how it grew! Business friends, messengers from other houses, clerks and GUS toners contributed to it, until at pres ont it amounts to almost scventy.Gye dollars, The disposition of the money puzzled him for some time, but he con cluded to give a dinner to tue employees as soon as it reached one hundred dol lars

 Berthold Neumocgen, who died in New York the other day, was noted as an amateur entomologist and spent over twenty years in forming a remark able collection of over one hundred thousand rare and beautiful butterflies. says the Newark Times.
 This was his hobby and all his lcia- ure was devoted to improving the cal- lection. There are but two known col lcctious in the world that excel iu variety and number the one gathered by Mir. Neumoegon One is in tho pos session of the British museum. London. and the other is in Paris.
 This worl, was a labor of love with Mir Ncumucgen, and he would spend hours ID a room on the top floor Of his residence which contains the collec- tiun, arranging and ycarranging the beautiful specimens of theinsecl world, in which he took So much pride. He generally kept in stock an immense number of butterflies for the purpose of exchange and these be kept apart from his collection, not one of which would he dispose of unless he felt cCr- tain of being able to replace it
 Buttcrly collectors are continually exchanging specimcns and Mr, Neu- moogeu kept two men employed in re- cciviug and hipping specimens. The largest shipment made by him was eight years ago, when he shipped twen- ty thousand butterflies to Europe
 Livingstone, the great African cx- plorcr. furnished AIr Neumoegeu with some of his rarcst specimens. Others were furnished by Henry M Stanley, Lieut. Sehwai;a and menbcr5 of the Greedy relief expedition Among them were butterflies from Franklin bay, from the shores oI Greenland, from Lakes Ianga8yilta and Victoria Eyaa. za and from Labrador, Thibct, Alaska, China, Siberia.

 Asparagus, like many other table delicacies, is much more of . luxury in Iguropc than in the United States. Ac- cording to Parisian periodical, of ninety thousand bundles of asparagus consumed daily in Paris bctwecn April 10 and May lj nearly sixty thousand were delivered Go thc restaurants.
 The region of Argentcuil is regarded as furnishing the finest asparagus for the purisian market, and it is from that region that largo quantities of the veg ctablc arc sent to England and Russia. The rcgion about Alc5t in Belgium also produces an asparagus thut is greatly esteemed by cpicures. The asparagus of Argcutcuil ut its best measures from three and onc-half to four inches in circumference, and half the length of the stall, may be eaten, The culture of asparagus has saved tue fortunes of land owners whose vineyards have been ravished hy the phylloXcra. Asparagus has been substituted for tho ruined vines on suitable lands and market gar deniug has succeeded wine making. Asparagus has replaced the sugar beet about Laon, and the crop throughout France is worth many millions of francs a year.
 It is the rulc of the most careful French asparagus growers never to cut asparagus after May go, though some cOutiuuc cutting considerably longer. Largo cultivUtOra have asparagus fields of different ages, and prulong the cut ting later than May 20 only on those that are sure Co run out and need re- ucwal in a year or two, l. takes five years to mako proper growth of aS- paragus, the French CulJiyators say. and the earlier sprouts should not be cut at al One French amateur as paragus grower leaves home when the sproutiug season comes, in order that he may not be tempted to do the young shoots a wrong. Some growers devote themselves Co producing monstrositics, and a single stolk of French asparagus may make a dish of the vegetable large enough for a family of moderate size. These great stalks are produced by the aid ot a bottle in which the stalk grows. When thg young stalks are found side by side the points are gently brought together aad a ueekless bottle is placed over them. They unite as they grow. and the twins gradually fill the bottle, Another plan is to intro dueo @ single stalk iatoa rather short bottle and let the stall, double upon it. self Stalks two inches iu diameter are thus produced, and they are said to have an especially delicate flavor.

Landlady Would Not Allow One of Her
 BoarderS to Wear tho Dress at Table.
 Hard and awful to contemplate are the trials that the new woman has to put up with--that is, that particular type of the new woman who doesn't like to wear skirts and prefers llnicl5er- lockers at most times and places, says the New York World In England the boarding house landladies are very much aroused over the subject and are thinking of forming an association to rule out all women who wear what is known in the words of the day as 'ra- tional dress.
 In this country there is an interest ing anecdote, with it's scene laid in Ann Arbor, Mich, relating to one of the col lege girls who was very much lad vanced.'
 There was a girl staying at one of the boarding houses in the village who persisted in wearing trousers that were more masculine even than "bifurcated skirts" This attire disturbed the land lady intensely and in fearful tones she pleaded with the young woman to dis card the distasteful garments. But the girl was put upon her mettle and re- sisted the landlady's pleas until that wrathful individual came out with the following ultimatum:
 You cannot eat at my table and wear boomers at the same time"
 It is not correct for the ''new woman to weep, and therefore the knieller- boclScred girl shed no tears. At the very next meal that was served, how ever, the other boarders noticed that she wore a skirt. Immediately after dinner she took it off and five minutes later was seen parading down the streets in masculine garments once more. But the landlady has carried her point and bifurcated garments are not at such premium in Michigan as they were,

 The observatory of Paris possesses a telescope by means oi which photo graphs of celestial bodies of rgmarlla- hlc Sizo and clcalness can he taken.

 Inc vaIuc Of the lunar photographs !s very great tC astronomers. Formerly they went Go infinite trouble in sketch ing aspects of the moon, and two per sons seldom produced drawings of Che same thing which were not contra dictory. The iuecssant changes in the moons surface caused by the rays of the sun complicated the draughts- mans task. The most detailed chart of the moon ever obtained was of diameter of 6 feet, J, schmidt, of the observatory of Athens passed the years from $40 Co 1874 iu completing it.
