This Insect Represents Truly Silent
World.
After all. the chief charm of his race
of winged flowers does not lie in their
varied and brilliant beauty, not yet In
their wonderful series of TRANSFORMED
tions, in their long and sordid caterpil-
lar life, their long slumber In the
chrysalis, or the very brief period
which comprises their beauty, their
love making, their parentage and their
death. Nor does it lie in the fact that
we do not yet certainly know whether
they have in the caterpillar shape the
faculty of sight or not, and 60 not even
know the precise use of Their most
conspicuous organ in maturity, the an
tennae. Nor does it consist in this
that they of all created things have
furnished man with the symb,l Of his
own immortality. 1t rather lies In the
fact that. with all their varied life and
activity, they represent an absolutely
silent world. All the vast ar
ray of modern knowledge has found
no butterfly which murmurs with an
audible voice and only few species
which can even audibly click or rus
tie with their wings.-T. w. Higgin

POULTRY FOR CHILDREN.

There is no better way to educate
the younger members of the family
to habits of economy than to give
each a flock of fowls, but in so doing
they should be instructed to keep strict
accounts and be made to attend to
all the details Of management. Should
the poultry or eggs be used in the
family the young people should be
paid for such, and everything done in
businesslike manner. In some fam.
lilies no spending money is allowed
children unless they earn it, which is
done with view to teach them the
value Of money. and by giving them
n flock of fowls they not only endeavor
to manage the flock to the best advan'
tage, but acquire knowledge of poul.
try keeping, which may, in the future,
enable them to realize an annual in.

Sir Norman I.ockyer, the British

able new theory concerning the utili'

that the discovery and understanding
of these phenomena will prove one

the world in general. He believes
that such knowledge may enable as
