A gentleman who has only been in
Mississippi two years and who came
from the cold regions mentioned above

mate: For several weeks the north
mas been the scene Of snow, ice and
winter desolation. The inhabitants
OF every state north of the Ohio river
have begun the four to five months
hight against inclement weather which
comes annually with the certainty Of
taxes. Here in Mississippi no snow
has fallen, no ice has formed and no
wlntry winds have tormented those
whose calling necessitates exposure
TO the weather The north has al
ready had this year much more of Sc
we're weather than the people Of Jones
county will see all winter. The differ
ence in comfort between a residence
in this favored section and one in the
icy north, is so great that it must be
experienced to be realized. Mis-
sissippi should place in their hands
about this states Incompatible eli
mate and the opportunities offered
new corners in every line of indus
try" The advantages of MISSISSIPPI
pi should be properly exploited before
the world as the gentleman says, and
the benefits would be great.

to see that they get plenty of exer-

Woes Of Butterfly Collectors,

Butterfly collectors are seldom able
TO estimate with any confidence the
value of their collections, since the
prices for specimens so constantly
vary. a case in point is that OF the
blue butterfly of Brazil. specimens Of
which were originally sold for from
$50 to s75. Not long ago some col.
lectors who supplied the London mar.
ket ran into a perfect swarm of these
butterflies and shipped to England
such quantities that better specimens
than the original insects are sold for
81 each. 1t not infrequently happens
that two or three specimens of a Ger.
tain family are discovered by collect
ors, who. encouraged by the high
prices received for their finds, are
tempted to prosecute their search for
this particular variety without results
for several years. Suddenly they or
some other collector finds the insects
grown plentiful, and the cherished var.
ieties of the cabinet become among
the commonest specimens.
