How q Butterfly Sleeps,

The butterfly invariably goes to sleep
head downward. 1t folds and contracts
it's wings to the utmost. The effect is to
reduce it's size and shape to a narrow
ridge, hardly dstinguishable in shape and
color from the seed-heads on thousands OF
other stems around. The butterfly aSo
sleeps on the top of the stem. In the
morning, when the s,lnbeams warm them
all these gray-pied sleepers on the grass
tops open their wings, and the colorless
bennets are starred with thousand liy-
ing flowers of purest azure.-Spectator
