UNCLE SANS soLlLoQUY.

We're a very simple nation
And not burdened OveTmuch
With the bump Of VeneTatOn
For dead deities and such.
Yes, we're simple, but assuming
We can read our title clear,
As the children Of Jehovah,
To this Western Hemisphere,
Then / say, without preSuming,
To be caustic or severe,
That Ia spite Of every blooming
Transatlantic buocaneer,
Who, with aVarice consuming,
Hopes or helps to engineer
Any scheme in-wen, no matter,
Talk is cheap, and time is long,
Words are but the parrot chatter,
Acts alone may right a wrong.
What the use in bOOtless kickingI
Heaven, perchance, has willed it so,
Englsnd's bound to get a licking
Every hundred years or so,
New York Sun

old Animals II England.

The beaver is one of the five mammalian
animals that have inhabited England in
former times and have become extinct
within historic record.
They are the true brown bear (Ursus
arotos), the beaver castor 1ber). the rein
deer (Tarandus rangifer) the wild boar
(Sus scrofa) and the wolf (Cani= lupus).
The bear was abundant in the north of
England and ia Scotland when this cOun-
try was in the hands OF the Romans, and
many Caledonian bears were imported into
Rome. They disappeared altogether in
about $50.
The beaver was numerous in 5Quat local
titles in the north of Wales in $40 and again
in 1888. There are records Of them much
later in Scotland.
Reindeer were abundant in Scotland
and were hunted in Caithness in the year
1859
Wild boars were humorous when large
tracts of wood gave them harbor. They
were hunted by the Tudors. They GER
tainly existed in the year 1917, and prob
ably much later
The wolf in England disappeared about
1890
In Scotland wolves were numerous in
1877. According to Pennant, they became
extinct ia 1ssa >-.r4 and Queries.

A Tame Butterfly.

We have heard of tame f1eas and per-
forming midges, but the following au-
thentic story of tame butterfly, told
by a French lady, has novel elements in
it:
Il found in my garden a magnificent
butterfly, quite numb with cold. TAX
ing it into the house and putting 1t into
a box for two hours revived the little
thing. Then I dipped its antennae in a
solution of syrup and sugar, and con-
tinued this treatment for three days
On the fourth day the creature fluttered
on to my hand and sucked the liquor of
its own accord, and after this it be-
came perfectly tame. put flowers into
my room, and it fed on them. and was
perfectly happy. When it sat on the
table l could pass my finger down its
back without the slightest fear the but
terfly might take to wing. In fact, it
arched its back as does a cat when it is
pleased. After three weeks Of perfect
tameness its colors faded, its wings
shriveled up, and it died."
What next, one wonders? A butter
fly arching it's back when stroked by a
human hand is surely a phenomenon
that seems to give promise of all kinds
CT possibilities. Scientists and variety
artists take note.-Westminster Ca
