INDOOR BUTTERFLIES.
YounEster, Was Entertained
Royalty by His Mother.

When Mamma Leavitt came home
from call at the high school teachers
she found Sturgis wishing that there
was no such thing as measles.
"If it hadn't been for measles 1 don't
believe I should have taken any notice
of some butterflies saw this after
noon," cried Mamma Leavitt, gayly.
"And I shouldn't have found out all
about them so we could have some our
selves if it hadn't been for measles"
"Flying butterflies" said Sturgis,
doubtfully. "They don't fly in the Win
ter. Were they big ones?"
NO." said mamma, ''but they were as
big as they ever would be-"
'Were they alive:''
"No, but they were lively" answered
mamma.
"What were they made of?" asked the
little boy.
"Paper," replied Mamma Leavitt.
Lets have some." So she took some
thin white paper and cut out two little
butterflies like Fig. c, and through the
dark spot i'll each head tied piece of
sewing silk about six inches long.
"You might get your water colors
and have these two butterflies any color
you choose" said mamma.
That seemed good idea to Sturgis,
and he colored them both light yellow.
'"rhey are not SO pretty as when they
are other colors, but they look more
summerish when they are yellow" he
said.
When Sturgis had colored the butter
flies, mamma tied the loose ends, about
half an inch apart, to long pencil and

balanced the pencil on tall glass vase
Gig. b.. There were two lifeiess but
terfies swinging in the air.
"You said they would fly" said Stur-
'They WILL" said mamma. I'VE must
wake them up. Run and get warm,
dry lamp chimney and silk handker-
chief and will get my fountain pen or
stick of sealing wax, or a rubber
handled knife.'
Mamma looked and found some seal
ing wax. She made sure that this also
was warm and dry.
II am glad have this" she said, 'it is
really the best thing. Now you rub
the glass with the silk and will rub
the sealing wax with my wooden dress
skirt. Now hold your chimney about
an inch from the butterflies. See them
fly to it?" Then Mamma Leavitt held
the sealing wax almost two inches from
the butterflies, and to Sturgis' aston
ishment they flew to the wax.
''They've gone to eat sealing wax" he
cried in surprise. But almost before he
has said it they few back to the glass.
Then back to the wax they went. Three
or four times they few, then they
seemed tired and settled down to rest,
hanging under the pencil.
'Let us give them some more life"
soid mamma.
So they rubbed the wax and the
chimney and sure enough the butter
flies were just as lively as ever.
"What makes them fly, mamma?"
'lt is electricity" answered mamma.
I'VE make it when we rub the wax and
the glass;"
"What is electricity?" asked sturgis.
'Now you have asked me something
I can't answer" said Mamma Leavitt.
IT don't know, nobody knows. Perhaps
some time wise men will find out, but
Until then the best thing for us is to
find out what it will do" o."-Orange Judd

A Remedy for Cholera.

A successful poultry raiser gives the
following remedy for cholera: Confne
the sick fowl in a separate pen. Place
a half gallon crock in this pen, I'LL this
with water. and to this add indigo one
ounce, chlorate of potash 20 grains.
Feed them nothing for three days and
give no other drink. When the fowls
have become better give them soaked
bread. Carbolic acid is good preven-
tive. Stir a teaspoonful of acid in a
gallon of drinking water. Observe the
strictest cleanliness, and disinfect by
sprinkling chloride of lime and quick
lime about the runs and in the houses.

The warble or swelling on the back of
cattle is caused by the larva of fly
which attaches its eggs to the hair on
the legs, fanks and neck of the animal.
These hatch and the larvae establish
themselves under the skin, usually on
either side of the backbone. Here they
feed upon the animal juices until ready
to pupate, causing the swelling or war

The best way to get rid of the pest is
to kill the "maggot. This may be done
by squeezing them out. Place the
thumbs near the base of the swelling
and press firmly until the grub is

ounces flowers of sulphur, one gill of

is useful. Train oil can be used alone.

Although St. Patrick has been the patron
saint of Ireland hundreds of years, very lit
tie is known about him. His own story of
his life is the only record historians have
of it, and that is lacking in such details as
that he converted Ireland to the Christian
faith, and was the first bishop sent there,
but he is contradicted by Prosper of Aqui-
taine, who says that Pope Celestine made a
certain Palladius bishop of Ireland and sent
him there to convert the natives of that coun-
try. Prosper gives no credit to st. Patrick
for the work which the latter claims to have
done.
But, in spite of Prosper of Aquitaine the
Irish people have always credited ST. Patrick
with having introduced the Catholic religion
into that island and nov historians agree
that he Is entitled to all the honor that is
accorded to him.
AS nearly as can be determined by his
confessions and other doc uments, St. Patrick
f1ourished from 372 to 492 A. D.. accord
ing to William Bullen Morris. He accord
lieved to have been native of Gaul, and
to have let a gay life in his youth. He re-
proaches himself for his worldliness, and
says that he became converted through re-
mcrse for his self-ndulgences. He went to
Ireland, where he found the people in state
of barbarism, and he set himself the task
of converting them. In that way he thought
he could atone for his own sins. But when
he began to preach he was seized by the
people and imprisoned six years. He con-
sidered such treatment only as a natural
punishment for his former wickedness and
accepted 1t with resignation.

commanded the admiration even of his enc
mics, and he was released He set about

ROSECRANS AT REST.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 16.-The fu-

one of the most impressive and ca eorate tHis
city has ever witnessed. Thousands as
semb.ed to honor the dead warrior. Business
was interrupted during the ceremonies.
The remains were removed from the bier
at the city hall, where they had been lying
in state, to the cathedral. at an early hour
ard in quiet manner. The special military
escort provided by Gen. Last accompanied
the remains and resumed the watch in the
cathedral.
Promptly at 10 o'clock requiem high mass
was celebrated at the cathedral, Right Rev.
Bishop Montgomery officiating. After the
service, which lasted about forty minutes,
the military took charge of the funeral.

st. Patrick believed in education and
when the time propitious he estab-
lished schools and places of learning in Ire
land. He erected churches and monasteries,
and at his death he left the island wholly
Christian. There is not place in ireland
that St. Patrick did not visit.
Some who have looked into the matter
think that St. Patrick and Palladius are
one and the same person, but Prof. Schaefer,
Of the Seminary of St. Paul, in this city,
who is recognized the foremost Catholic
historian in this country, believes they were
different individuals, and that Paladus is
not entitled to much credit for the conversion
of Ireland, which belongs, in his opinion to
st. Patrick.
William Bulien Morris, in his life of St.
Patrick, also says that st. Patrick performed
, many miracles. He resuscitated the dead
healed lepers; cured blindness, deafness and
other ailments; made the lame walk: he
destroyed idols and images, and, in the place
of druidical temples erected churches In
tivity.
At last in 492, ST. Patrick found his end
approaching, and received the sacrament
from Bishop Tassach, and on the 18th of
March he died. His body was wrapped in
a shroud woven by st. Brigid and lay un-
buried twelve days. During that period it
was attended by angels, and at night bright
light shone about it. When the time for
burial arrived there was dispute between
who should possess the body of the dead
saint, and the dispute was settled by the
Ulidians, who carried 1t off and buried it
in Downpatrick.
