New York Press. The mischievous boys
of New York have a new trick with which
to give pedestrians a shock. 1t is to
throw a half gallon paper bag filled with
water from a high window to the side
walk. l saw the performance this after
noon in a quiet street. The bag came
from a fourth-story window, exploding
with a terrifying report Immediately in
front of a bevy of summer girls in all
the bravery of white lawn and pink rib
bon. Such a scattering as there vas
and such a lifting of delicate skirts to
avoid the water running over the walk!
Then a peal of bOisterous laughter came
from the upper window, and ! know some
boy felt that he was having the greatest
fun of his life.

CLOUD OF BUTTERFLIES.

Chicago Tribune: Butterflies descend
ed upon the Pullman residence at Eigh-
| teenth street and Prairie avenue in
countless numbers last evening. They
| sWalmed around the big house like bees
| around a hive, and the air was dark with
futtering wings. When night came they
settled On the trees until the branches
| sagged with their weight and the foil
age was half hidden from sight. Thous-
ands viii await there the warmth of the
| sun this morning to unfold their wings IN
flight.
Where the butterflies came from, where
they came and where they are going to-
day are questions that We're freely dis
cusee9 in the neighborhood which afford
ed them a resting place last night. The
rare sight of tens of thousands of fiutter-
ing visitors on wings Of golden brown
drew hundreds of interested and curious
spectators to the scene. and afforded a
topic of conversation that Will not be eX-
hausted for da Ns.
Several young birch trees in the corner
Of the lawn presented a uriou sight
after the butterflies had settled down on
their slender branches. The bright green
caves showed family through the beau
tiful brown and black covering made by
the butterflies, like a base for a rare
| piece of brocaded velvet.
The butterflies did not confine their
presence entirely to the Pullman resi-
dence. They made themselves at home
along the avenue as far south as Twenty
second street, in smaller numbers, and
many We're captured by the children of
the neighborhood. In trying to account
for their presence it was the opinion of
many that the strong east wind had
carried the butterflies from across the
lake, and that from sheer fatigue they
had descended Immediately on reaching
land.
