marrying to Reform a Man.

Judge Foster, of the Court of General
Sessions in New York, deserves COM
mendation for having put the stamp
of legal condemnation upon the MIS-
cradle delusion that a woman can re-
form a man by simply marrying him.
The occasion arose where suspension
of sentence was asked for young
man arraigned before him for sentence
on the charge of larceny. the plea be-
ing based on the ground that the pris-
Oner was engaged to an .'estimable
young lady" would marry him
ae once if he We're set free. Judge
Foster refused to suspend sentence,
and sent the man to the penitentiary
for six months. He had Investigated
the fellows record, he said, and found
it bad. He added that he hoped that
during this period the young woman
would investigate the prisoners his
tory herself, and take back her prom
ise to marry him. 1t is too much to
hope that the wretched old fallacy will
suffer very much from this legal
nouncement, but if it saves even
woman from yOking herself for -.
to a brute and a criminal it will be a
cause for gratitude.-Leslie's Weekly.

A PECULIAR COMMODITY.

The exceedingly high prices often
asked and paid for butterflies are rem
dered possible by the extreme uncer-
tainty of the market. There is no
means of knowing how long a butterfly
will remain a rarity. 1t may continue
unique for a quarter of a century or it
may become common in the course of a
few months. A case in point is that of
a beautiful blue butterfly from Brazil.
When the first specimens of this but
terfy were sent to England years ago
they sold readily for $50 or more apiece.
Since then, however, collectors have
sent it there in numbers and the price
has fallen to 81. Butterflies are by no
means the only insects for which a
market exists. OF late years private
collectors have developed an interest in
all kinds of quaint and curious crea-
lures, such as scorpions, beetles and
spiders. Perhaps the grandest insect
known is the huge west African Coli
ath beetle. Sixty-eight years ago a
writer described this remarkable insect
from single example preserved in the
Hunterian museum at Glasgow. Today
the insect is exported from the Kane
runs literally by the hundred speci-
mems packed in sawdust like grapes or
oranges. The great size of these spec
imens-large ones measure as much as
four and one-half inches from head to
tail-has made them popular as Curl

dash from Moisson to Paris, the air
ship being guided by young French
man, a NJ. Juchmes, a comparatively
unknown quantity in the aeronautic
world. M. Juchmes was accompanied
on his trip by a machinist named Rey
and by NJ. Julliot the designer of the
balloon, which bears the somewhat pc
culiar name of The Yellow. This was
by no means its first ascension, it hav-
ing already made several claims to
fame, the most noteworthy of which
was a return trip from Moisson to
Nantes in remarkably quick time, but
not so rapid as in the case of its latest
endeavor. On the earlier occasion M.
Juchmes was also its pilot. hitherto
the young aeronaut had largely con-
fined his efforts to ascensions in spher-
zeal balloons, in the management of
which he had displayed not a little
skill. 1t now appears evident, judging
from the cabled accounts of the Mois-
son-Paris trip, that he has The Yellow
in perfect control at all times and that
it answers it's helm admirably. Evil
IDENTIFY, also, NJ. Juchmes does not lack
the ability and fntrepidity to get out
of it the highest speed of which it is
capable. During this record voyage the
balloon crossed the Seine seven times
and is reported to have behaved ad-
mirably throughout its passage.
This new claimant to aerial honors
was built at the workshop in the beau
tiful park at Moisson, where the Le-
baudys conduct their various expert

of air ships, the envelope of the bal
loon is not made of silk or Japanese
taffeta, but of a fine sheet of india rub
Der stretched between two tissues of
cotton and capable of resisting great
pressure. The seams are covered with
bands of india rubber fixed with a So
