Naturalists have as yet been unable
to give a decisive answer to the ques-
ton, Do birds eat butterflies or not?
Some unhesitatingly answer it in the
negative, while others as positively
maintain that owing to lack of suf1-
cient data no one is as yet warranted
in giving a decisive answer. In the
last number of the Revue Scientihque
there is an interesting article on the
subject which seems to show that
some birds certainly eat butterflies.
The writer, referring to the recent
journey of NJ. Katharinia through
Central Asiatic Turkey, says: con one
occasion NJ. Katharinla saw a large
number of butterflies hunted by birds.
In a short time many butterflies were
killed. The survivors managed to con-
ceal themselves under some heritage
and the birds did not disturb them any
more. In spite, therefore, of certain
assertions to the contrary, it can safely
be stated that birds do to some extent
prey upon butterflies. At the same
time it is worthy Of note that birds dc
not pursue butterflies except when the
latter are hving."

Useful Carriage Woods.

Forest ash and whitewood are con.
Bidered indispensable for carriage
building, and what concerns the trade
more than anything else is that the
second growth Of these trees never
answers the purpose so well as those
FIRST growth trees which mark the pri-
meyal forests. The whItewood is used
for the panels of the carriages, and the
wood must be close-grained' and very
smooth. A second growth tree usually
produces wood that is coarse grained
and totally unfit for carriage panels.
The forest ash is light, yet firm, strong
and resilient, but notaelastic, and with
n very fine grain and uniform texture
Of wood. These qualities, which make
forest ash so desirable for carriage
building, are not so apparent in the
wood taken from second growth trees.
The wood is hard, elastic, heavy and
tough, and, in order to make it retain
its form, it has to be stayed with
metal. For the framework of nva7y
carriages it is totally unft-Scientifc

SELF-CONTROL.
ITO be continued next week.


There is no home, no matter how de-
Iightful, in which there do not occa-
sionally arise little causes of prOvOcation
or dispute. Brothers and sisters do not
look at things from the same stand
point; or parents may, at times, be too
hasty and injudicious. A home should
always be full of peace, happiness and
unselfishness. One great trouble in
households is "seltishness.' Is it not
strange this clinging to ones own way
merely for the sake of having ii, when
there is no real object of Importance to
be gained by it? And yet we see it so
often.
This selfishness can be overcome by
"self-cOntrol."
The person whose first thought is for
her or his own satisfaction and plea
sure, you will always find unlovely and
unlOving. Be willing to lay aside your
work, or maybe very attractive book,
to play a rather childish game with
your smaller brothers, which they think
so very fascinating. You will gain
their confidence by taking an interest
in what they do, and helping them with
their lessons and many other little
things.
You may ask if self-control has any
thing to do with this. Yes, everything.
Self-cOntrol implies self-sacrifce; it in
eludes patience and perseverance, it is
much more then mere good temper.
In every nation, in every community
and in every home it is the self-con-
trolled person, who wins the day, who
has the widest influence. There is
nothing gained by scolding. The sharp
bitter words may be potent in making
people unhappy, but they do no good
whatever.
When things do not 60 just as you
wish, do not flare off into rage, but
control yourself, speak gently, smile
sweetly, and lend helping hand wher-
ever you can, and you will be remem.
