Butterflies and Birds.

Of all the "children Of. the air"
that gladden. a June day the mon
arch butterfly is one Of the most no.
ticeable. It's wings simmer like
gold alloyed with copper as it pur-
sues its lazy flight in the sunshine.
The male monarch is true dandy
and carries on each hind wing a
black sachet bag containing strong
perfume, most attractive to the 9TH
er sex. The monarch is immune
from bird enemies. The callow
birding that takes a bite from it
wipes its beak in disgust and for
ever after connects the noisome
taste with orange wings-a too
hasty conclusion Of which the vice
roy butterfly takes advantage and
by donning the monarch'e uniform
escapes scatheless, although any
bird might find it beaksome NOR

MIR. Ward witnessed che barbsrnus
practice cf pulling rooster out Of the
sand and tearing the rooster to pieces.
This ceremony takes place every Sep
tember at Taos, and is attended by
great crowds from long distances in
the mountains. The rooster is buried
in sand heap, his head protrudipg.
The game consists Of riding past at
the greatest speed and snatching the
helpless fowl out Of the sand pile By
seizing it's head. The Indians ride in
opposite directions so as to reach the
spot at the same moment; each man
grabs at the head, aud il one Of them
succeeds in capturing the rooster he is
set upon by the other. A violent con-
tiiot ensues, and Xhen the dust has
cleared away the pieces Of the rooster
are scattered for quarter of mile
along the racetrack. TIE delight and
excitement Of the spectators appear to
be almost beyond control. The air is
rent by shouts and cries of the friends
OF the contestants, and days pass be.

Out For o Time.

"Some people," remarked the re-
turned tourist to Star reporter,
"have strange ideas Of enjoyment.
To illustrate. let me tell briefly an in.
cident of my recent trip from New
York to this city. The happiest per-
son on the well.crowded train were
two men we'll past the midle hge.
They had left all business cares be-
hind them and were out for o good
time. 1 Glanced to meet them in the
smoking compartment, the usual re-
sort of all travellers of o sociable ma

garded as huge joke at the expense

especial pleasure in imparting to every

simply that one of them should be
considered lunatio and the other his
keeper, and, in consideration of their
respective positions, the keeper bore
all the expenses Of the two during
their entire cutting. The supposed
lunatic was jelly, good.natured indi-
vidaal, and apparently enjoyed the
situation as much as his more loqua.
cious keeper, who never lost an op-
portunity TO rem..k that his compan.
ion was crazy. But FOR his explana-
tion no one would have suspected the
situation, as the two were laughing
and Joking With each other, and were
evidently on the best cf terms. They
made no, secret that they were cn their
way TO the West Indies. One Of these
men--I won't say which-was mem
ber Of Congress and the other was one

three colonies Of American negroes 70

to tue society commencing its efforts.
Among other things he says:
'The negro must leave this coun-.
try. He cannot remain 10 land where
he has no civil or political rights and
where he is disfranchised by whole
States without disturbing in the least
the General Government, which he
has fought and died to maintain by
hundreds of thousands.
Besides, I challenge all the his
torians in the world to produce an in
stance where an enslaved people or q
degraded people have risen to respec-
liability and civil snd political equali-
ty who are not Of the same color or
lost themselves in amalgemation.
"This the black man cannot do

in this country and too much esteem

Liberia, and according to General
Manager Flummer, of the society
the inhabitants will welcome the colo

wrecks of children may be traced
oftener to the failure Of the hus-

latter.
Too much, we believe, is said of
the shortcomings Of women in these
days. Those mothe1s and y,'tes rho
are neglectful Of their homes con-
stitute the minority. The average
American mother is serious, upself-
ish and loving. II. thiswere not the
case, we should not have, as we have
today. a higher average Of young
manhood than any other country on
earth. The assumption that wives
and mothers are mainly to blame
for the waywardness Of children is
neither reasonable nor fair. It is
due usually to a few exceptional
cases which, because Of their excep-
tional character, deeply impress the
observer. In general woman's devo-
ton and love do not change as the
child grows old, save for the better.

TEACHERS
OF NORMAL TRAINING SHOULD
BE EMPLOYED IN THE
STATE SCHOOLS.
Card from County superinte ndent
Cara M. Simpson to the School
Public Funds Should Not be Vast.
ed on Poor Teachers.

AS the time is approaching when
the spring term of school will be open
ed in rural districts, | urge upon school
boards the wisdom of demanding of
those who seek employment as teach.
ers some fair preparation for their
work.
Most every state has its normal
schools, our own, one of the best. A
teacher has no excuse for lack of pro
fessional discipline. 1t is only too true
that the character of instruction in our
schools lies mainly with the school
boards who are responsible for the EN-.
ployment of teachers. AS ar as pos
sible, employ teachers of normal train
ing. and those who have had some ex-
p%erience.
We need experienced teachers in our
rural schools: do not waste public
funds on poor teachers; get the best,
and you cannot perform a more valua.
Bile service to your district than to re.
tain a good teacher when once you
have one OF the best.
