THE BUTTERFLY.
How the Gorgeous Beauty Bursts From
His Ugly Outer Shell.

Last summer I noticed q milkweed
caterpillar travelling across the piazza
floor, evidently in search of his final
shelter. We secured him temporarily
under tumbler, but there. to our sur
prise, he proceeded to spin his little
web and hang himself head downward
from the bottom Of the covering glass
in such wise that in the course of two
days we saw the whole process of change,
even to the splitting Of the caterpillar
skin and the final wriggle from it that
changed him into the most exquisite
transparent, nile green chrysalis, but
weeks this began to grow Opaque, and
gradually we saw from under it the
thorax, antenn@, head, wings and alb
dominal rings in perfect coloring of
black and red. One fine morning che
burst this cutter shell of sin and Matched
himself" not ga cherubim," but a
more tangible aerial creature, though
not able to float off ut once, as perhaps
even cherubim do not. No; his wings
were only as big as dime pieces. land
still the wonder grew" as we watched
SlOM anu uuueI OuI Eyes
in breathless amazement, and one at
least i'll reverence and awe. 1t seemed
such definite change from death into
life. 1t was not SO difficult then to i'm
agine soul freed from it's mortal en-
velope since this marvel could be done.
The little creature, after expanding
to its full size, became very sociable,
liking to be held on the finger, and after
1 had once unrolled his proboscis with n
pin and guided it to drop of sugared
water quickly learned to find his food
and sucked up drop Sin no time
After few days he floated out of a
carelessly opened window, and 1 was
glad and sympathized, for l, too, longed
to try my wings beyond four walls.
Milkweed caterpillars are common
enough (Danais Archippus, I believe.
but cannot verify), and it is q most
charming and exciting experiment, es-
pecially for an invalid, to try.-Boston

CUBA MUST BE FREE.

From the scenes in the United States
Senate and House of Representatives
yesterday 1t is evident that a crisis in
che affairs of Cubs has been reached,
which cannot fail to seriously affect this
government in its relations to Spain. In
the first named body the sentiments OF
the people were fully reflected in the
eloquent speech of Senator Vest in
favor of Cuban independence, while in
the House the enthusiasm manifested in
the consideration of resolutions accord
ing belligerent rights to the revolu-
Zionist fully demonstrated the practical
unanimity Of that body in the sympa-
thies of its members for the struggling
patriots.
But for the objection OF Mr.. Boutelle
the resolutions would have been taken
up and passed without many dissenting
voices. He assumed his accustomed role,
and has, no doubt, secured the no .oriety
he so much covets. He, however, can
not prevent the passage of the resolu-
tions when fairly presented; for the
people of this country are now thor
oughly aroused, and it will take q
greater power than Spain to suppress
the feeling here in favor OF Cuban in
dependence. Cuba must and will be
free, and with the freedom OF the people
from the tyrsnnous yoke OF Spain will
come annexation of the island to the
United States.

Revenue Defleieoey.

Deficiency of revenue was the primary cause of the demand for gold for United States notes. The gold boarded for re. sumption purposes was not separated from the money received for current revenue, and this revenue being insuffi. cient to meet expenses, the gold ac. cumulated for redemption purposes was drawn upon to make good the de. ficiencies. This created . doubt of the ability of the government to maintain the parity of United States notes with coin and led to their presentation for redemption in coin. The draft on the treasury for coin during this adminis- tration has been greater than the amount of deficiency of revenue during the same period. In every respect in which the subject presents itself to my riind l come to no other conclusion than that the deficiency of revenue aud the consequent encroachment upon the redemption fund is the cause of cur present financial condition. and that the only remedies are eitner radical reduction of expenditures or an increase of taxation. and perha ps ooth.

CARlISlE'S CANDIDACY.
A Hopeless Outlook for the Champion O,
 Democracy.

Hopeless Outlook for the Champion O,
 Democracy.
 It is more than probable that, at some convenient time before the meeting oi the democratic national convention, Cleveland will formally notify his friends that he is not candidate for the presidential nomination, and will prob. ably indicate also his preference for Secretary Carlisle. At least there is no doubt that Cleveland and his cabinet are already quietly exerting their in fucnce in favor of the secretary's can didacy.
 It is well known that Cleveland dc. sires to avoid the tariff question as an issue this year, and make the fight along the line of sound money. The putting forward of Carlisle as the administra. tion candidate is in pursuance of this policy. It means battle-royal in the Chicago convention. The free-silyer ele. ment in the democratic party will never agree to Carlisle's candidacy. Per con. taa, the administration wing will no: support, a free-silver candidate.
 Hence events are shaping themselves for the fulfillment of the forecast made by the Blade several months ago--that the democratic party will repeat the his. tory of 1860; that the national conven, ton will split, and two candidates will be named, one by the free-silver faction and the other by the sound-money fac tion. But whether the democratic party divides or not, the republicans win elect the president this fall.-To3etlo Blade,

Chandler's Mistake,

Senator Chandler will have occasion to
 regret his characterization of McKip- :ey as "a mortgaged candidate" whom "the republican party cannot afford to nominate" In the first place it was un- just, and in the next place Mir. Mckinley is sure to be nominated and Senator Chandler's support of him will be more or less embarrassing. The World has given all the particulars of Gov. McKin- ley's financial failure in 1893. There was nothing dishonorable about it, nor in the help which was almost forced upon him to save his lit. tie property and that of his wife from being swept away. The friends who came to his relief were personal more than political, and his attitude in the matter was manly throughout. It is to be hoped that we are not going to have D campaign of mud-throwing. The last presidential campaign was quite free from it. and it was great relief to de- cent people. Mir. McKinley's personal character is above reproach.-N. Y. World (Dem.).

No little ones shouts to disturb him-from noises the house was free. In fact, from Cellar to attic twas as still as still could be. No medical aid was lacking. His serv- pnts answered his ring, respectfully heard his orders and supplied him with everything. But still there was some- thing wanting which he could not com mand-the kindly words of compassion. the touch of gentle hand. And he said, as his brew grew darker and he rang for hireling nurse: "Well, marriage may be failure, but this is jolly sigh: worse. e."-London Standard.

Parsnips and Malnurs.

Parsnips are sometimes served al elaborate dinners in the form of Eng. fish walnurS; they are first boiled and mashed fine. Then to each pint there is added teaspoonful of salt, two table. spoofuls of melted butter, dash oi pepper and two tablespoonfuls of milk. Mix we'll over the fire, and when smok. ing hot add thoroughly beaten and very fresh egg. Spread the mixture o,, q dish to cool, then take the nut of an English walnut, an almond, or q pine nut and roll around it the parsnip pulp until you have a good-sized nut. Roll in egg and in cracker dust as you would croquettes, fry light brown in deep fat that is smoking, and serve hot.
