AN "inspired" editorial in the
Cologne Gazette says; The United

little thinks of seizing Venezuelan
territory as of planting her flag on
the mountains of the moon.

birds nest seen in species OF cruci-
bulum, cyathus !. and q nidularla.
Though most;sof these are too small
to impose on one the resemblance is
singularly exact, and large speci-
men might almost pass for the nest
of some small bird, the eggs being
admirably represented by the little
oval fruits of the fungus. Even in
such eases we must not too rashly
conclude that the resemblance con-
fers no advantage. The existence OF
attrac tive characters in so many
fungi points to the conclusion that
the same principles are in operation
among them as among Towering
plants. Numerous facts indicate q
tendency in fungi to assume gulse
which helps either to protect the
plant or to promote the fertilization.

hand, as high a you can reach comfort
ably. Then with pencil or light stick
in your left hand give clean firm
stroke to the tip of the wing,
when the butterfly will soar. The OBJ
iect is to catch it on the tablet. If
YOU succeed it counts ten to you, and
your Ego" next, and SO on till it fails.
If it falls to the ground on your side
of line agreed on it is still your "go, .
but counts only five. If it falls on the
side Of your opponent the Ego" and
count are his. One hundred is the linn
it of the game.
It takes considerable skill to catch
the butterfly on the tablet, but it is
worth the practice both in pleasure
and profit, as it is an excellent exercise
for acquiring grace and firmness. 1t
requires the gentlest possible stroke
to lift the butterfly, and alertness to
catch or guide it where you wish it to
alight.
When once you master the knack, it
is fascinating and so gentle that a
child in bed or crippled may play it.
The gentleness necessary adapts 1t
particularly to little shut-ins, while
the activity permitted and the pretty
sight tempts the players afield, where
the butterfly world goes, if alive, and
everyone may not follow.-People,s

SNAKES AS HOUSE PETS.
They Are Said to BE Har superior
to Cats as Extermin ators OF ALI
q. Sorts of Vermin.

In tropical countries it haslong been
customary to have a pet snake to keep
the house free from rats and mice, and
the Washington Post asserts that the
practice has been introduced into TINS
country. One dealer in birds and ami
mails particularly recommends pur-
chasing Mexican bull snake.
These, he explains, differ from the
Florida variety in being a light yellow,
whereas the latter are coal black.
These snakes are uon-poisonous anG
are far superior to eats as vermin ex-
terminators You can turn. one OF
them into house or barn overrun with
rats, mice, cockroaches, and the like,
and in a marvelously short time the
place will be rid of them. All that is
necessary when winter comes on is to
provide a warm place FOR them to
crawl into and hibernate until spring.
They have become quite popular in
Washington, and many people are
keeping them about their barns and
stores in place Of lazy, overfed and in
different cats. The repugnance that
every one feels for snake soon passes
away when they have reptile that is
perfectly harmless, that can be
trained to answer call or whistle, and
that will eat out of dish when vermin
becomes scarce and he has nothing
to prey upon

Three Cents Seemed Enough.

On the New Jersey side of the North
river there is a parish of New York
suburbanites who own a valuable
church property. Upon their plot
stands what is perhaps the smallest
church building known to the denom-
nation. One of the women members
declared to the minister in charge
that the building ought to have slit
in the roof, so that she might deposit
her offerings in accordance with the
traditions of childhood. A little girl,
on her first visit to the service, re
ceived five pennies to put on the plate.
When she returned her mother found
that she still retained two of the five
pennies. why did you not give it all %
the mother asked. sob, mamma" was
the ingenious answer, .it was such a
little church I thought three cents was
enough for it," -,
