California Woman's Story of How She
Trains Them.
San Francisco Post: Miss Mabel
Adams Aver, 1922 Clay street, a promi
nent Sunshine Club worker and a !!
member of the Forum club, has sue
ceeded in training butterflies.
At first the idea seems almost alb
surd, but if one can see the way Miss
Aver handles her pets it seems the
most natural thing in the world. In
speaking Of them today, Miss Aver
said:
why. it doesn't seem at all strange
to me. They are just like any other
trained pet. They have their likes and
dislikes. and they are really lovable lit
tie things, when you come to know
(, them.
THE first thing that started me to
studying them was when I was asked
to deliver lecture before the Forum
club. 1 choose for my subject, Butter
J flies and Rainbows,' and, wishing to
give something more than could be
learned in books. I went into the gar
den and captured one or two Of the
butterflies. The more I studied them,
the more / loved them, and now they
are almost like people to me.
/ when I first get one to uncoil his
| tongue and feed him with sugar and
water, and the rest-why. don't know;
| they just come to me: that's all. You
know, the butterfly has six legs, and
! the two front ones he uses to wash his
face and preem himself, much as a cat
would.
They live on sugar and water and I
always keep plenty of flowers In the
room for them. One big fellow called
Morning Cloak I was unable to do
anything with He seemed to have TO
affection. They are sensitive. and ner-
vous temperaments affect them always.
| Some of them are quite playful. and
| two or three would run after and try
to catch the end of a stickpin when
drew it in front of them.
lone evening I wore several Of them
on my shoulder as an ornament. OF
course it was in my own home, but
they stayed on my gown all evening.
flies, but, you know, they live only
are dead now.
mo, do not use net for catching
them. 1 simply go out and pick them
up. I always breathe on them, and
that seems to warm them, and they
get so they will fly all around me and
battle or eat from my hand.
YES I have had great deal OF
pleasure with them, and / take then
around in my Sunshine club, and II
helps the sick people so much. Any
one can train them If only they will
have patience. Why, one Of them go
so he would stand on his hind legs fol
me whenever I raised him with my
finger"

Japanese Use of Water.

British Medical Journal: The Japan
csc themselves attribute their high av-
erage of physical strength to plain,
frugal diet and the system of gym
nastics called jiu-jitsu, which includes
a knowledge of anatomy and of the ex-
ternal and internal uses of water. AL
though during the period of their as
cendancy the Samurat kept the secret
that their great physical superiority
was due in 4 great measure to the in
ternal and external use of water, the
belief that if used literally and intelli-
gently water is an infallible weapon
against disease is now generally held.
BY those who go in for jiu-jitsu an av-
erage of one gallon day is drunk 1t
is almost unknown in Japan; it is prob
able that the absence of meat from
the dict. combined with the use OF
plenty OF water, accounts for this inn
