THE KALLIMA BUTTERFLY.
An Insect Tint Perfectly Initiates
Il Dead Tree Leaf.

A moth usually rests with his fore
wings outsprcad over the prominent
pattern of his hind wings, says Waldo
mar Il. Kaempffert, in the Booklovers
Magazine. In any other posture he
would inevitably meet swift death
A butterfly, on the contrary. rests usu-
ally with his wings uplifted and
pressed together. Otherwise, the gaudy
upper surface would be as conspicu
Gus as the black ink on this white
paper-a signal for attack by relent-
less and voracious foes. In order to
hide himself the butterfly has, there
fore, lavished all the resources of his
initiative art on the under surface of
his wings. BY far the most astonish-
ing. instance of this kind is afforded
by the East Indian Kallima butterfly,
the blue upper surface of which is
richly and ostentatiously adorned with
n stripe of orange, but the under sur
face of which bears a truly staggering
likeness to Il leaf, when the wings are
drawn together. Here we have an
insect that apes not merely the ap-
proXimate shape and color of Il dead
leaf, but also the midrb with the deli
cate veining, the sharp point, and the
short stem common to many tropical
leaves.
1t might be supposed that this imita-
tion of an ordinary object is sufficiently
minute to protect the Kallima from its
enemies. Self preservation apparently
demands not merely Il dead leaf sim
ulated, but in touches even more eX-
Quisite for the resemblance has been
SO craftily carried out that the light

ance of holes eaten by caterpillars

How Owl. cntch Chickens.

When / was a chunk of a boy l shot
a horned owl, the spread of whose
wings was four and one-half feet, and
to the surprise of the boy who had car
ried it for several miles, the weight
was only four pounds. They We're
rather numerous at that time in that
section of the country and We're trou-
blesome about carrying off chickens,
which mostly roasted in apple trees
about the farm buildings. The belief
that they could carry away full grown
hens was common one. 1t was also
commonly believed that an owl never
picked chicken off the roost, but.
alighting on the limb. crowded the
chicken off and as it flew toward the
ground caught it on the wing-Forest

AN EvARTS FEE.
Showing How II May Sometimes Pay
to He u Poor Writer.

Not many lawyers write legibly, and
the late William NJ. Evarts wrote such
an eXecrable hand that 1t was very Of
ten difficult to read it. This caused Il
mistake at one time which resulted in
the eminent lawyer receiving retain
er for ten times the amount he request
ed. The late William Allen Butler an
eminent member of the New York bar,
was counsel for one of the legatees in
the celebrated Stokes will case years
ago, In which the late DR.. Henry T..
Stearns was one of the expert Wit
nesses. Something like SlJ,0O0,o00 was
involved. and Mr. Butler told his eli
ent that he would like an associate in
the conduct of the case. He was asked
whom he would suggest, and he said
he thought Mr.. Eyarts would be the
best man owing to his superior knowl-
edge of the law and his great reputa-
ton as an advocate. The client agreed,
and Mr.. Butler was instructed to see
if Mr.. Evarts would come into the
case.
Accordingly Mr.. Butler wrote to Mr..
Eyarts and invited him to be associat-
fee. In due time he received reply.
which he saw Mt Il glance was in the
affirmative and, without stopping to
read it further, slipped it into another
envelope and mailed it to his client
In day or two he received call from
Mr.. Evarts, who inquired what sort of
q man his brother lawyers client was.
Didn't you hear from him after
sent your letter to him." queried Mr..
Butler.
Yes" replied Mr. Evarts, ''but he
sent me a check for $4,000, and l only
asked him for $500"
1t was apparent that Mr.. Evarts'
chrography misled the client. This is
the story as told by a lawyer who was
familiar with the facts, but it is not
known whether Mr.. Evarts returned the
difference of $4,000 or whether he
worked it out.-uartford Courant.

drinks quantities of it; so also does the

wants; the other has everything she
wants; result with both, an almost ,un

THE BRAIN OF MAN.
A Thesry That It's Records Once
Mnde Are Never E6aced.

The brain of mankind has been de-
fined as kind of phonographic cylin-
der, which retains Impressions made
upon it through the medium Of the
senses, particularly through the eyes
and ears. If this be true memory must
depend for its intensity or reteutive
qualities upon the degree of obSerya-
tion with which the record Is made.
Nor is this all. If memory's record is
kept in the shape of indcntationS upon
the folds of brain matter, are they ever
entirely etfaced? In other words, do
we ever really forget anything? May it
not be that in the inner depths Of the
brain memory has stored up recollec-
tions of things which are never again
purposely turned to perhaps, but which
instantly spring into being and flash
through the mind whenever we hear or
see something which recalls them:
There are several well known men
tai phenomena which strengthen this
theory. We know that memory often
brightens during the last moments of
life, and there are cases on record
where Germans, French, Spaniards and
others who, upon falling sick in this
country scores Of years after having
entirely forgotten their native Ian
guages, recovered and used them upon
their deathbeds. There is theory that
in all such cases the brain folds have
relaxed, just as do the muscles and
cords Of the limbs and body. and that
by so doing they expose to the minds
monitor indentations (recollections)
which We're long since folded up and
put away as material that could not be
of any narticuIar use

THE HORSE CHESTNUT.
4 Theory or Two to the Origin %
Its Nnne.

The horse chestnut tree is we'
known, and the nuts are dear to boy
ana sufferers from rheumatism. Eu;
the statement was maze lately. and j,
is even found in some encyclope,siaf
that the name is given on account ~
its coarseness: Like Il horse or liz
that of Il horse; hence, coarse and uh'
refined" The reflection on the horse /
an unworthy one. but let that pass J.
not the explanation given in Gerarde ;
Herbal $3.50 Il more reasonable one:
Called in English horse chestnut, for
that the people Of the east countries do
with the fruit thereof cure their horses
Of the cough and such like diseases"
There is a long list of plants that
have animal prcfiXes- horse, dog, cat.
bear COW. pig, wolf, mouse, rat. toad,
frog, dragon. snake, etc. In some IN
stances .'the name of an animal pre-
fixed has totally different signitica-
ton, deuotiuG size, coarsencss and fire
quently -worthlcssncss or spurious
ness" but names have also originated
from the particular uses TO which GER
tain plants have been put, and the
horse chestnut is an example. Ihe
Turks, ArabiunS. Persians, all bellev-
ed that these nuts cured horses of
coughs shortness of wind and such
other ailments. In England prepara-
tion of the nut was once used for
bleaching yarn.
Yet there may be something i'll the
statement of an Englishman, Al
fred A. MilIward: The tree possesses
a feature which l have often found to
be not generally known. 1t is very
distinctly marked horseshoe, with sew
en- dots corresponding to the nails OF
the horseshoe. and this appears at the
kuuckle of the branches, large and
small, but more clearly on the latter"

DR.. Beadon, former rector in Ell
than, Kent England, one Sunday
preached from the text Who art

pause for the congregation to reflect
upon the words, when a man in mill
tary dress who at that instant was
marching very sedately up the middle
aisle of the church, supposing ii a dues-
ton addressed to him, replied, Il am,
sir, an officer of the Sixteenth regiment
of foot on recruiting party here. and.
having brought my wife and family
win me, am come to church because
l wished to be acquainted with the
neighboring clergy and gentry.' This
so deranged the divine and astonished
the congregation that the sermon was
concluded with considerable difficulty.

THE INDIANS GAIT.
1t Gives Him Perfect Balance. With
Great Economy of Force.

Great Economy of Force.
A woodsman walks with rolling
motion, his hips swaying an inch or
more to the stepping side, and his
pace is correspondingly long. This
hip action may be noticed to an exag-
gerated degree in the stride of pro-
fessional pedestrian, but the latter
walks with a heel and toe step. where
as an Indians or sailors step is more
nearly fiat footed In the latter case
the center of gravity is covered by
the whole foot. The poise Is as secure
as that of ropewalker. The toes
are pointed straight forward or even
a tritle inward, SO that the inside of
the heel. the outside of the ball Of the
foot and the smaller toes all do their
share of work and assist in balancing.
Walking in the woods in this manner
one is not so likely either to trip over
projecting roots, stones and other traps
as he would be if the feet formed
hooks by pointing outward The ad-
vantage is obvious in snowshoeing. II
the Indian were turned to stone while
in the act of stepping the statue would
probably stand balanced on one foot.
This gait gives the limbs great con.
troll over his movements. He is al
ways poised If stick cracks under
him 1t is because of his weight and
not by reason of the impact. He goes
silently on and with great economy
OF force. His steady balance enables
him to put his moving foot down as
gently as you would lay an egg on the
table.--Field and Stream.
