most up to date appliances, to secure
some specimens Of a beautiful swal-
towtail butterfly, but with no success.

dertook to procure several live specl-
mems for a shilling apiece and on the
following day presented himself to the
delighted naturalist with six butter
flies. 1t was not till the entomologlst
was about to leave the district that he
disclosed his method.
The natives are very skillful in the
use of their blow gun, often killing big
game with darts blown therefrom. In
this instance the mar waited till the
butterfly had settled, then blew a pei

1t for the time. The capture was easy.

A Cure In the Failu1N,.

"Uid you ever notice that, as a rule
the persons who seek death and arr
rescue1 from the grave never court th<
society of the dark angel again"
The propounder of the question was
a hospital phyHcian, and he proceeded
to explain:
"What | mean Is that Of all the per
sons who attempt suicide and are fol-
ed but few try self murder a second
time. Probably one-half, If not more
of all those who try to kill themselves
are frustrated. The percentage of those
who leap into the dark river a second
time is exceedingly small. have tried
to discover the reason for this from the
lips of those who have gone through
the terrible experience, but l have mol
met with success.
at Is queer that persons, after devot'
ing weeks and months to a considera'
ton Of SO momcntous a question ana
deciding to end their existence, should,
when foiled, declare that they were
fools and swear never to do the Ike
again. Yet this is what Is done in a
large majority Of instances. Those who
have stared ut death seem to live life
anew. The past is effaced; a new light
seems to have dawned. The sunshine
Is dearer, the air Is purer. 1t Is the
convalescent taking great drafts OF the
outdoor air with a keenness of relish
that was unknown before"

MisunderstOOd.

An attendant in a London business
house was recently approached by a
furtivc looking stranger. This suspi-
cious person, dressed in somber black,
came quite close to the ATTENDANT and
then, raising his eyes from the ground,
whispered tragically, "Are you pre-
pared to die"
The attendant wasn't, and he caught
the suspicious one by the throat and
half throttled him. When the invalid
was recovering, it "transpired" that he
was an amateur missionary inquir1ng
after e%verybody's spiritual needs.

The Australian mole burrows oblique-

inches under it and never b%etraying Its
passage except by a slight undulation
Of the soil. In digging 1t uses its conf

plate, and the strong, mattock shaped

Order In the House.

The French parliament was not al
ways famous for the excitement and
turmoils of its debates. In the old
monarchial days, before the revolution,
the sessions Of the old parliament
were exceedingly dull and prosy at
fairs.
One day, it Is related, a noble count
was trying to make a speech, II a
very prosy speech it was, while all the
other members were either chatting or
resting.
Presently the president Of the body
raped slightly with his baton.
"If those gentlemen who are talking
to each other" said he, "would kindly
make no more noise than those gen
tlemen who are snoring, 1t would be
much appreciated by those gentlemen
who are trying to listen"
