combinations have been suggested, but
80 far they seem to have proven In
capable Of being assembled into q
shape sufficiently substantial to show
the Independent and uninstructed dele
gates how another candidate can be
named. Men who are supposed 70 hold
the balance of power have asked the
Parker opponents to say what would
be done after Parker has been put out
Of the race, but they say they have
received no satisfactory answer.
Action taken by the Pennsylvania
delegation by the overwhelming vote
Of 81 to S to vote for Parker only
served to emphasize this view OF the
outcome.
German, Gray and Cleveland have
been suggested, but no one is prepared
to give assurances that either could re-
ceive the nomination. The mention Of
Cleveland has tendency In some
quarters to solidify the Parker
strength, for many delegates say they
do not want to take even the slightest
chance Of allowing Cleveland fourth
nomination.
The opposition to Judge Parker In
It's effort to tighten the lines and make
sure Of holding the delegations now
counted as opposed to him have
brought out two new candidates In the
persons Of former Gov. Pattison of
Pennsylvania, and Gen. Miles. The
opposition leaders appreciate to the
utmost the difficulty Of preventing a
stampede to Parker, should his lead
become pronouncedly manifest, but
they are counting upon doing this by
appealing to the local pride Of the DIFF
ferent "favorite son" delegations to
hold on as long as possible,

A New Kind of Butterfly Collection
1t Will Make An Exquisite Work of Art.

There are serious objections to the
ordinary manner of preserving collec-
tons of butterflies.
Most specimens are extremely
fragile and the wings, legs and anten-
nae are not only very brittle and east
ly broken, but the tiny scales which
form the pattern and color of the
wings come off at a touch, leaving the
specimens denuded of all that makes it
beautiful or of value.
Add to this that there is a small
beetle, the pest of collectors, which
Has such an Unsuitable appetite that
it can be kept away from valuable
specimens only by carefully constructed
cases with tight-ftting covers, which
are, to say the least difficult to con-
struct and expensive to buy.
The object of this article is to tell
about a much more satisfactory and
delightful way to make permanent
collections.
To begin with. the best way to get
perfect butterflies is to raise them
yourself from the egg of the cater
pillar, but then, of course you miss
the good. healthy, out-of-doors fun in
catching them.
Take with you some envelopes large

such as the side of a nat glass

Open the paper and remove the
wings. which will come out transpar-
ent, while the scales which stick on
the gummed paper are astonishingly
beautiful and perfect pictures of
both sides of the wings in their natural
shapes and colors.
Success in the art of thus nature,
printing" butterflies depends almost
entirely on having just the right de-
gree of moisture in the gummed paper,
for If it is too wet the impression
Will be blotted and confused, and If it
is too dry your paper will stick so
fast together that it will be
torn in pulling the doubled portions
apart,
DO not be discouraged If you begin
operations with a failure or two, for
when you once get the hang of the
thing it will become quite easy, and
the results are perfect and beautiful
beyond the reach of brush or of pho
Biography.
When you have opened your
gummed papers and they are quite
dry, you can supply bodies for the
wings you have printed. To do this

a very smooth board. Fasten the natu-
raj body of the butterfly whose wings
you have cut off to the paper by driv-

How to Serve
Strawberries

There is art even in the serving of
raw fruit; and the strawberry is often
a much abused fruit in this respect.
If the berries are not sandy, they
should not be washed. If washing is
required, it must be done before the
berry is hulled, in order to prevent
water-soaking. Lay the unhulled
fruit gently in a colander, and plunge
them in and out of a large pan of wa
ter until all the sand is washed off
Never turn water from the spigot full
force on the berries, as it bruises and
brushes them.
The English way of serving straw
berries is attractive. After the berries
have been washed, they are set in the
refrigerator to be cooled, but not to be
chilled. Small individual baskets or
tiny flower pots are then filled with
the unhulled fruit, garnished with
strawberry leaves and served with in
dividual portions of powdered sugar
The berry is lifted by the stem, rolled
in the sugar and eaten without cream.
The French hull their berries, serve
them in shallow glass dishes with
powdered sugar and the juice of mild
orange turned over them.
In America, where the word cock
tail has a peculiar fascination for the
housewife, a stra wberry cocktail Is
considered the correct first course for
a breakfast or luncheon. Five or six
hulled berries are placed in a cocktail
glass, and orange juice is poured over
them After standing for an hour, or
until the two f1avors mix, they are
ready to serve, heaped with powdered
sugar and chopped ice.
For those who find that the raw Der
ries fail to agree with a finicky diges-
! tion, the addition of rum sometimes
! proves efficacious. Berries, free of
sand, are huled. piled lightly in a
| glass bowl, and sprinkled with powder

New THnkefs
for the Bath

Powder puffs for the bath have

whole
These puffs are of soft, white elder

shirred silk or satin and ivory handles.
| AS time-savers they are worth their
price.
Another fad for the bather is a
| small tub of clay, decorated on the
outer side and looking like a homely
| cousin to the Mexican earthen bowls
used as decorations. In this tub is
a big fiat cake of soap that fits in the
bottom of the tub, is pink or grayish-
white in color and apparently a sort
of scented CASTLE.
With the tub comes a sort of broom.

and the fibre is doubled so that the
ends meet and are trimmed smoothly
off. The place where they double is
wrapped with more fibre and forms
a handle. In completed form this stiff.
but not harsh, brush is twelve or
more inches long, and its appearance
is sufficient guarantee of its ability to
cleanse.
This tub and brush arrangement is
English, but a sort of general bath
article is the big square sponge of a
| dark brown color in its holder of
barred metal-silver preferred-which
hangs on the edge of the bath tub.
For the bath comes bran bags of
cheesecloth filled with bran scented
with orris and some other perfume
that the bather fancies. Bags made
of cheesecloth and filed with oatmeal
are perfumed in the same manner,
and are particularly fine for the skin
and complexion. Corn meal, too is
high6 recommended by physicians for
whitening and softening the skin. so
many women have little bags of per-
fumed corn meal made for face. neck
and hands.
Paris sends over all manner of bath
bags guaranteed to do all manner of
wonderful things to the complexion
and skin. These all have their de-
voices but to the average woman
unable to pay big prices for these
dainty, imported bath bags, bottles of
waters come with all the leading per-
| fumes, and wafer or two is dis
solved in the tub while the water
runs.
This is the day of fads for the bath
and the woman who cannot buy the
| latest fads has the satisfaction of
| making them cheaply from a few
| cents worth of oatmeal and her fav-
orite perfume, with a little orris pow
der mixed in the whole.

SNAIL'S SENSE OF SMELL.

From the Scientific American.
According to the researches of M.
Emile Yung, the sense of smell in the
snail seems to be located not only in
the feeling organs, but all over the
body, as experiment proves that the
snail can perceive doors by means of
sensory cells which are placed in diff
ferent parts of the body, quite apart
from the special organs which might
be supposed to be his only means of
sensation. The idea of sensory cells of
this kind distributed over the body of
an animal is an interesting one, and
is clearly brought out in M. Yung's
experiments, which form the subject
of a paper read before the Academic
DIES Sciences. He observes the large
snail (Helix Pomatia), which is COM
mon in France. 1t has been generally
admitted since the observations of Mo-
quin-Tandon that the snail has a good
sense of smell, and the organ is seated
in the terminal button at the end of
the large feelers. Hence the term of
nasal organ which he gives to the lat
ter, and the expressions olfactory gan
glia, or phinophoric, etc, which a num-
Der OF scientists now use for designat-
ing these nerves and gangiia.
The writer explored the body Of the
Helix with camel's hair brush dipped
IN non-corrosive odorant such as es-
sence OF chamomile. He finds that II
the ofactory sensibihty exists in the
