Value of Butterflies.

When our juniors see the common
white cabbage and sulphur wing but
terdies or even the superb Monarch
and gorgeous Ajax swallowtails fitting
through the fields or at times city
streets they perhaps never give thought
to the fact that butterflies may be of
commercial value. But such is the
case. Some of our domestic butter
flies on account of rarity more than
beauty command prices from one to
several dollars, which collectors gladly
pay to insure the completeness of their
cabinets. Big prices are paid for some
Of the magnificent butterflies Of the
morpho and papilio. genera, which are
rainbow hued in colors and span five
feet in wings. These flourish in trop-
zeal countries, and it is often necessary
for museums to send out special eN-
petitions for them. They range from
$40 to 500 in value.-Raltimore Herald.

A Rank Pe..ami.t.

A Lady Bountiful living in subur-
ban village met an old man on the road
one day and asked after his family, his
health, etc. The old man gave rather
gloomy account Of things. He had to
work all day and every day, and he
was growing old and felt the cold and
was always tired. He wished he could
rest a bit after his long life of labor.
He was weary, very weary.
Lady Bountiful reminded him gently
that every one had his share Of work
to do in this world, and that it was all
only preparation of the world to
come, where. there will be no tears or
labor.
The old man shook his head and smil-
ed cynically.
"That may be for the likes of you,"
he said. But there'll be work for the
likes of me. 1t will be the same thing
there: John, clean the SUM- John,
hang out the moon John, light the
stars John, stop the wind They will
find something for me to do, ma am

Rea, white. areea Sees,

The, colors Of pure ocean water and
u.~ varying shades observed where Inn
purities. are met with are diversified
by the coloring effects of the enormous
multitudes of various forms Of organ
lied life which sometimes mask the
natural color of the surface of the sea
and tinge extensive areas with remark
able colors. Red appears to be most
frequently met with. In the southern
parts Of the Red sea and in the Ara
bian gulf large areas are colored blood
red byNmicroscopic animalculae, and in
the Indian ocean similar forms of life
cause, in addition to red, milk white
or yellow spots of great extent, the
appearance Of which is frequently
alarming to the ignorant sailor. OFF
the Guinea coast ships sometimes ap-
pear to float in milk. Extensive red
streaks are also known to occur in the
south Atlantic and south Pacific, which
are caused by hosts OF small red crus-
tacea. The "Vermilion sea- of Cali
fornia owes its brilliant color to in
fusoria. Areas colored green have been
noted, especially in the arctic regions,
which are due to myriads of diatoms,
and in some portions of the antarctic
seas diatoms of rusty color make the
water dirty brown.

ana ! Dead Tiger.

The vulture is seen at Its best when,
. dead tiger, brought into camp to be
skinned, is exposed in the open. Over
mead Is a cloudless sky, and not a bird
to be seen in that great void by the hui
man eye. The tigers body is thrown
from the pad to the ground, and before
the skin has been removed there above
one and always nearing the earth are
the vultures circling, posing like
things of air, now dozen of them, in
q few minutes score or two and then
. hundred strong. Then, when the
nayed carcass of the tiger is left by
those who skinned it, the vultures de-
scend. Down they come like feathered
thunder out of the sky, and from east
and west and north and south, the very
embodiment Of power while they
whirled aloft and in their quick de-
scent to earth, and now, as they wad-
die around that carrion beast, mis-
shapen ghouls, whose only apparent
strength is that of the ravening Jaws
which tear and gorge the tigers flesh,
until within the hour naught of that
splendid brute remains but a clean
picked skeleton. ~ Sir Edward Brad
den's Thirty Years of Shikar."

BAKED HAM.
New Feature of Holiday Feast Bor-
rOwed From the South.

New Feature of Holiday Feast Bor-
rOwed From the South.
1t goes without saying that his maj
esty the turkey will grace the Christ
mas dinner table, but for variety and
to give new note to this feast it is an
excellent idea to follow the southern
fashion of introducing ham to share
honors with the reigning fowl.
The ham may be either hot or cold
and should be baked to a crisp brown
Few there are who understand the art
of preparing ham in this way. First
it should be partly baked with the
thick outside skin left on, and then
this should be removed and the fat
stuck full of cloves and left to brown
in slow oven. The spice imparts a
deliciously delicate flavor and should
not be taken out, but left in the ham
just as it comes from the oven. No
sauce is needed with ham cooked after
this rule.-New York Herald.

A Wonderful Ride.

The most wonderful straightaway
ride ever made by man was the gallop
of Francis Xavier Aubrey, ci-devant
Canadian voyageur and famous pony
express rider, from Santa Fee, N. NJ,
to Independence, Mo-, in 1853 = 800
miles in five days and thirteen hours.
In 1852 he had covered the same dis
lance in little over eight days, and
his record was on the wager of $1,000
that he could do it in an even eight"
In the whole distance he did not stop
to rest, and he changed horses only
with every 100 or 200 miles. He was a
stocky French Canadian, light hearted,
genial, adventurous and absolutely
fearless. For some time he was an
overland freighter, and he also made
the enormously difficult and dangerous
drive Of flock of sheep from New
Mexico to California across the deserts
of the Colorado. He was killed in San
ia Fe.-McClure's Magazine.

Haddock Marks.

Why do haddocks carry those pc
culiar black finger marks" near the
head? Some tell us that they are a
memento of the pressure of ST. Peters
fingers when he went fishing for the
tribute money. On the Yorkshire coast
of England they say the devil once de-
termined to build bridge at Filey.
His Satanic majesty did not start the
bridge for the convenience of the peo-
pie, but for the destruction of ships
and sailors and the annoyance of fisher
men in general. In the progress of his
work Old Nick dropped his hammer in
to the sea. Snatching at it hastily, he
caught paddock, and all haddocks
carry the Imprint of his black fingers
to this day.

How General Butler Lost . Hor.,

How General Butler Lost Horse.
While in front of Petersburg General
Butler received information that his
favorite horse, Almond Eye, had been
accidentally killed by falling into a
ravine. Upon the departure of his in
formant he ordered an Irish servant to
go and skin him.
"What, is Almond Eye dead?" asked
Pat.
whats that to you? Do as bid
you and ask no questions"
Pat went about his business and in
an hour or two returned.
"Well, Pat, where have you been all
this time?" sternly demanded the gen.
eral.
SHINING the horse, yer honor
docs it take nearly two hours to
perform such an operation|
mo, yer honor, but then, you see, it
tuck bout half an hour to catch him.
replied Pat.
General Butler cast upon his servant
such ferocious look that Pat thought
he meditated skinning an Irishman in
revenge for the death of his horse.

EARLY Autograph Hunters.

A certain Atossa in early Roman days
seems to have been the mother of au-
tograph collectors. Cicero had a collec-
ton, which must have been fine one,
for he speaks of it with particular
pride. The fever, even in those far
back days, was contagious. Pliny
speaks of Pompeius Secundus, at
whose house he had seen autographs
Of Cicero, Augustus, Virgil and the
Gracchi, and his own collection was
valued at $4,000 of our money. Then
came the thrush of barbarians, and we
do not again meet with the collector
until the beginning of the sixteenth
century, when he reappears in the per-
son of Bohemian squire, who kept a
book to record his exploits in the chase
and enriched it with the signatures Of
his great hunter friends.

There is "a curious superstition in ia

Curious Facts About suicide.

Prof. William B. Bailey of Yale has
brought out some interesting facts
based on 29, 9,344 cases of suicide, cover
ing the period from 1897 to 1901, says
Leslie's Weekly. Using the 10000
unit. he finds that 7,7S1 males and
2,219 females found life intolerable,
and. despairing of mending, ended it.
This leaves the ratio of cowardice 3A
to In favor of feminine courage. Al
most two-thirds of the suicides 90
CURED between the ages Of twenty and
fifty. Curiously enough, there are
moro married than. single suicides.
While married men are more likely to
take the plunge than married women,
single. widowed and divorced women
are more prone to kill themselves than
unattached males. Business losses
are more likely to drive people to sui
eide than i'll health, insanity, disap-
pointment in love or strong drink.

sToRks DEALT OUT JUSTICE.
Evidently Formal Proceedings Ends Il
in Death of Culprit.

In Germany, where storks abound,
they are in the habit of collecting in
one spot before migrating in autumn.
On one of these occasions an observ-
er, who had concealed himself SO as
to watch their departure, saw that
something important was on hand.
About fifty storks had assembled, and
suddenly ring was formed-one bird
in the center showing every sign of
being in great terror. One of the
storks then appeared to address the
party by clapping its wings for some
minutes. Then all the storks began
to clap their wings, and with sudden
rush fell upon the culprit, and, with a
general thrusting of their long beaks,
quickly put him to death. When this
was done, they flew away to the so, tn
in their usual manner.

Magnificent Indian Building.

A curious instance of the magnifi-
cence of eastern ideas and admiration
for things that are large is the grain
"golah," to be seen at Bankipur. in
Bengal, India. 1t was built as a gra-
nary in 1888, but never used as such.
It's walls are of masonry twelve feet
in thickness and it stands about nine
ty feet high, with a circumference of
forty-three feet at the base. and would
contain about 10000 tons of grain.
Access to the interior is obtained by
a staircase on the outside leading to
a platform on the top. where there is
a stone placed in the center, which
can be removed. Now it is, perhaps,
the finest whispering gallery in the
world.

THE ACCENT IN JULY.

Water Course Through overshoes.

Some fifty years ago, in the town
of Frankfort. Me-, there lived a man
who was blessed with the remarkable
name of Hate-evil Colson. Whether
the name had proved too much of a
weight for the man is not known, but
the general impression of Hate-evil's
brilliancy seems to have been con-
firmed by the following story of him:
One day he was found seated on
his steps, new pair of overshoes in
his lap, while he was industriouly en-
gagged in cutting large hole in tho
heels. A neighbor, passing, became
interested in the operation and in
quired the reason.

that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight

FINDING OF ROSETTA STONE.
Priceless Gem Once in the Possession
of the French.

In the summer of 1898 Alexandria
fell into Napoleon's hands. and he set
to work to make the coast secure. One
one Of his engineer officers. Andre
Boussard, was directing the, digging
operations for new fort between the
town of Rosetta and the sea, when
the picks of the sappers struck a
black slab of basalt, As inches long,
which was observed to be covered
with three different styles of writing,
of which the last was obviously
Greek. When this stone was carcied
up the Nile to Cairo, and shown to
Napoleon and his savants, the value
of 1t was recognized at glance.
While it lay in readiness to be son
veyed to Paris, a British force made
its way to Egypt, laid siege to Alex
andria, and captured the city In 1901.
In the treaty of capitulation the vic
tors insisted upon the delivery Of all
the monuments collected, and among
them the slab, which was known as
the Rosetta stone. This had been
chosen by the vanquished Gen. Me-
nou as his own, and was carefully

Turner was sent by his chief with a
detachment of men, who carted it
away, amid the jeers of the French
officers, and put it aboard frigate,
whereon the colonel conveyed it with
care to the Thames. Thus, one March
day in 1908 the relic reached London
it is to-day one of the priceless
gems of the British museum.
