Out Of all the American flags in
Louisville at present probably the most
unique is owned by Mr.. Constantine
TrOXler. 1t is composed entirely of red.
white and blue butterflies, so arranged
that they form a beautiful representa-
ton of "Old Glory" with it's stars and
stripes.
The flag, which is II by Is inches in
size, is surrounded by a border several
inches in width, in which some of the
most gorgeous specimens of the but
terfy family are placed.
The whole thing has been framed
and now adorns one of the walls Of
the store. In describing the design.
Mr.. Troxler said:
Most of these flies are found in this
section of the country and some are
very common. but several OF them
come from Europe"
Pointing to n pretty little butterfly
that was one Of the stars in the flag,
he said: There was one that was
captured in the Alps and which came
to me through exchange
'The red flies in the design | raised
myself from the caterpillar. They are
known to the scientists as anaea an
dra. The white ones are the most
common of all. They are termed peris
rapae, but are more popularity known

them from the caterpillar state The
stars are known rs duets and are
only found in Kentucky in the spring.

AUNT RIA.

To n thoughtless observer it seemed

who was useless and superfluOus In
this world, it was Aunt Ria Tying. She
lay on her bed from New Years to

boys generally carried in her meals.
They all brought her jokes, or the news
of the village, for they were merry.
affectionate family.
But for Aunt Ria to do anything use
full in the world would have seemed an
absurd suggestion.
How could she? She was paralytic.
She could talk and laugh, and move
one hand: but for the rest she was
dead. She had been good housekeep-
er and n fine musician In her day; but
she could not even smooth her own pill
low now. and the children had to learn
their scales from the village organist.
Aunt Ria never complained as the
months passed, and she remained idle
in this busy world; but sometimes the
poor soul Gagged in the dead body, look
ed ont of her eyes as il wondering
There we're many negro families in
the village. and one day her nieces,
coming in. found Aunt Ria with a
primer set open before her, n pencil

"What is the use of that?" they said,
laughing.
None. perhaps. Tom is slow and
Ben is scampish; but it may help to
make men of them. ! would like to do
what can for the neglected lads"
Quite a long line of Bens and Toms
passed under the influence of the fee
bic voice. and the burning soul that
spoke through it. They disappeared.
Several years passed, but Aunt Ria
lived on.
Last winter there was brought to her
a wonderful rolling chair that at a
touch produced a desk and table-a
chair that was miracle of comfort
and ease. 1t had been made for her by
two or three young col0red men in O

rrctty Glass snonges.

Glass sIonges are not precisely the
thing one would want to use in ones
morning plunge. but they are very
beautiful 20 look at The Scientific
American says they are found in ono
spot in this country-off the coast Of
southern California. The glass sponge
is rarely found even there and then is
usually small specimen, but one
beautiful sponge caught on a tishhool
was twelve inches high and half rs
wide. In appearance it was a regular
porcupiue long. needle-lEc spicules
standing all over il. some three inches
long. so sharp and brittle it was ditli-
cult to handle the specimen. which
was vaSe-Shaped and would hold three
pints Of water The spiculcs when held
up to the sun reScmbled glossy hairs
and are formed of silica instead of
lime.
The most beautiful glass sponge is
the Venus flower basket. which repre-
sentS a vase of spun glass of the most
beautiful description When the first
specimen was found it was sold 1T
fabulous price and its true nature was
not suspected. But finally a specimen
was taken by a naturalist. who made
the interesting discovery that the deli-
cate and fragile. glaSs-likc vase. thar
seemed to be the work of some cum
ing East Indian, was nothing more nor
less than the skeleton of a sponge
whose SpiculeS were siliceous In the
water and alive the sponge is not an
attractive object. being of a gray color
and half buried in the mud, anchored
by long glass-like streamers. But once
dead and relieved of its covering it be-
comes one of the most respondent OBJ
iects of the sca-a fairy vase. that
might well have been modelled by the
sea gods as gift to Venus.
Another interesting glass sponge is
hyalonema. which resembles class
rope. The sponge itself is Il small cup
perched upon a long series Of glasS-lke
stems, which is buried in the mud.
This was for long time sold as the
skeleton of the little coral polyps. which
are parasites on its stems.

Objected to Modern Methods.

There is a mail-order house in Chi
cago which has no city trade, but
draws its business entirely from rural
districts. through the medium of cata-
logues and correspondence. Some of
the letters received from the country
patrons are not only interesting as
specimens of chirography, but very
amusing when the convictions they
give expression to are considered.
This house in its infancy, before the
innovation of the typewriter, sold a
wagon TO a farmer in West Virginia
The correspondence was written in
long hand. Then followed lapse of
twenty years during which time the
farmer had no occasion to communi-
cate with the merchants. Two months
ago he again wrote for information
concerning wagon, and the reply,
typewriter, was duly mailed. Ii a
few days this answer came back:
