The Butterfly.

There is something really pathetic
in the way mother butterfly builds
nest for her children. In the first
place the little home where the eggs
are deposited represents great deal
of sacrifice, for it is lined with several
layers of down plucked from the
mothers own soft body. The eggs,
having been laid carefully upon this
luxurious, pretty couch, are protected
by an equally pretty coverlet made OF
the same material. These butterfly
bedclothes are often arranged with an
intricacy that is quite curious and per-
picking. Sometimes bed is made 80
that each separate delicate hair stands
upright, thus. giving the entire nest
the appearance of little brush of
downy fur. Then again the eggs are
laid spirally round tiny branch, and
as the covering follows their course
the effect resembles the bushy tail of
fox, only the nest is more beautiful
than the "brush' of the finest fox
that ever roamed over country. The
building of this downy nest is the last
earthly labor of the mother butterfly,
for by the time it is completed her
own delicate body is denuded of its
natural covering, and there is nothing
left for her to do but die-a sacrifice
which she promptly and heroically
makes in the interest of the coming
butterfly generation.

He Nonplua.ed Blaine.

It is said that the only time James
G. Blaine was nonplussed was while
he was Secretary of State. One of the
applicants for consulate in Japan
was the late Samuel Kimberley, of
Baltimore, who died in the service in
Central America. After he had pre-
sented his credentials Mr.. Blaine said:
81 should like to appoin5 you, Mr..
Kimberley, but I have made it rule
to recommend no one who does not
speak the language of the country to
which he is sent. Do you speak jap
anese?"
"Cert-t-tinly, Mr.. Blaine" stam-
mered Mr.. Kimberley. "A-a-ask me
s-s-something in J-J-Japanese and I'll
a-a-a-nswer you"
Mr.. Blaine hadn't word to say,
but the Japanese post went to another
man, all the same, and Kimberley
went to Central America.
Another story is told of Kimberley
equally creditable to his nimble wit.
One day he met young woman, who
threw her arms impulsively around
his neck and kissed him. Seeing her
mistake, she drew back and angrlly
asked:
"Aren't you Mr.. Jones?"
"N-n-no, madam" replied Kimber-
ley, bowing; "I'm n-n-not, but W
w-wish to thunder I w-w-w-was. -

Stal't-and- -StOp.

Did you ever hear of any little boy
named Start-and-Stop? think he
must have been first cousin to that
little boy who always said, 'In min
ute"
This boy would start we'll enough
when called or told to do thing, but
he was sure to stop again until some
one would say, "Hurry up!" Then
he would go on until-he stopped, and
must be started afresh. SO every
body has got to calling him ''Start-
and-Stop." Of course he doesn't like
it at all. He would much rather be
called his own name, which is very
pretty one, but I'd rather not tell it to
you until he gets over this bad habit,
and he will cure it, know, if he once
realizes what disagreeable habit it
is.
The other day his mamma went to
visit his school, and almost the first
words his teacher said to her were:
''Can you tell me how to make your
little boy hurry up? He is very
good, nice-manuered little boy, and
he learns easily and does his work
very nicely, only he doesn't go on with
it. He stops every little while, and
if 1 don't speak to him he won't get
done in time. / thought perhaps you
have found some way to deal with this
fault of his. 1t is really the only one

A Trick for Halloween Tollies.

A game that is not entirely new and
yet especially appropriate for Hal
lowe'en is known as "clairvoyance. I"
1t is especially enjoyable for an even
ing of mystery, because it always
proves mystifying to the uninitiated.
Take some particular person who
understands the game to play the role
of medium, and send her from the
room, an empty chair being reserved
for her next to the person who is in
collusion with her. When she leaves
the room some word is determined
upon by the rest of the party, for in
stance ''horse, and when the medium
returns her task is to tell what the
word is without any questions. She
is summoned, sits down next to her
friend, and while all present are seated
in circle, with joined hands, the one
who was in the room, and hence knows
the word, spells it to the medium by
tapping with a finger upon the palm
of her hand, the number Of taps being
equal to the number of the letter in
the alphabet. For instance, eight taps
for H, then quite pause; fifteen taps
for O, etc When the medium an
nounces the word successfully, those
not knowing the secret cannot under
stand it at all, and 1t is even more
mystjfying when it is explained that it
is based upon some peculiar mental
action. -Woman's Home Companion.

Fantastic shades for Lamps.

shirred on wires and trimmed at the

mented with painted faces and wreaths
or fashion pictures and sporting prints
of ye olden time upon vellum back

The almost forgotten Parian porce-
Tain and octagon shaped cameo shades
are again coming in vogue.

trivance, he said: ''The last time I

A Few Kitchen Economics.

After broth has been skillfully
skinned and still little atoms of grease
appear on the surface, lay piece of
clean brown paper over the top, and
the grease will cling to it.
Often only the whites of eggs are
required for immediate use. The
yolks may be kept some time if they
are put into small cup, covered with
little cold water, and kept in a cool
place.
A loaf of cake that has got stale
and dry, may be freshened SO as to
seem newly baked by putting it in a
tin, covering the tin with another pan,
and leaving the whole in warm oven
about twenty minutes.
To boil meat so as to retain the
juices and soluble salts, and cook it
sufficiently, it should be plunged into
boiling water and boiled rapidly for
about ten minutes. After the fast
cooking, the kettle must be pushed
over to the back of the fire, where its
contents will simmer gently. This
tends to coagulate the outer rind Of
the meat SO that the juices cannot
escape. If meat be treated in this
manner, the inside will be found juicy
and tender, but if the mea. is allowed
to boil it will be found hard and
chippy.
When small pieces of piecrust are
left from making pies, instead of form
ing them into tarts, as is usually
done, secure some round hardwood
sticks, about four inches long, and,
after the pieces of crusts are rolled
out thin, cut them into narrow strips.
with iaggered iron, -four the sticks
and roll te strips around them, let
ting one edge drop over the other.
Place these on tin, and put in hot
oven to bake. When the crust has
got partly cool, slide the stick out.
When serving, fill the places with
Jelly, whipped cream, or marmalade,
and the family will be delighted with
new dish.
