BUTTERFLY COUNTERFEIrERs

A moth usually rests with his fore
wings outspread over the prominent
pattern of his hind WINGS In any other
posture he would inevitably meet a
swift death. A butterfly, on the con
trary, rests usually with his wings M
lifted and pressed together. Other
wise, the gaudy upper surface would be
as conspicuous as the black ink on this
white paper-a signal for attack by re-
lentlesS 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 ostentatlously adorned with a
stripe OF orange, but the under surface
OF which bears truly staggering like
ness to leaf. when the wings are
drawn together. Here we have an in
sect that apes not merely the approx
mate shape and color of dead leaf but
also the midrib with the delicate vein
ing, the sharp point, and short stem
common to many tropical leaves. 1t
might be supposed that this imitation
OF an ordinary object is sufficiently
minute to protect the Kallima from its
enemies. Self-preservation apparently
demands touches even more exquisite;
for the resemblance has been so crafti-
~ carried out that not merely is dead
leaf simulated but in the lighter-color-
ed varieties a dead, shriveled leaf
hecked with parasitic growths, stained,
and spotted to give the appearance of
holes eaten by caterpillars. -Wademar

The Business Value of a Whim.

The commercial world of the United
States has paid almost no attention to
the peculiar wants of the Latin-Ameri-
can, Oceanic, and Oriental people,
When these distant countries are con-
sidered they are usually regarded as
merely points for the unloading of an
occasional American surplus.
Not long ago, for example, an Ameri-
can company tried to sell a cargo of
heating stoves in Para, Brazil Para is
just a little more than one degree south
OF the equator.
The women of India like to get their
cotton goods done up in paper boxes,
each containing in addition few pieces
of colored glass and a gilt box. These
trlnkets are practically worthless, and
their cost to the manufacturers is in
finitesimal. But the sturdy British
dealer will not descend to further his
trade by the inclusion of such absurd
gewgaws; and as American manufac-
turers have never given the matter a
thought, the trade is beginning to pass
to Germany, where cotton cloths with
their accompanying baubles are put up
to suit the Hindu taste. That Oriental
trait of femininity-which seems to be
simply an expression of the same
promptings that lead the Occidental
sisterhood to prefer to make purchases
in stores that issue trading stamps-is
but one of the numberless little details
that must ultimately be studied by
commercial America The nations
that fail to consult the preferences of
the maids and matrons con the road to
Mandalay" cannot hope to gain lasting
favor there.
When l was in Japan they told me
of an enterprlsing American who had
arrived with a new cure for corns. He
had learned by correspondence that in
all Japan no remedy for these inflic.
lions had ever been sold, and he conjured
up dream of fortune. But when he
got to the Sunrise Kingdom he dis
covered than the people are a barefoot
ed race and had no corns to cure.
This is a grotesque incident, but it is
one of many instances of American
failure to secure trade abroad simply
because of our ignorance of foreign
conditions. Bolce in the May

Milford's $685. Fire.

MILFORD, Me-, April %. Sparks from
pile of burning waste boards on the banks
of the Penobscot river, carried by the wind
into the lumber yard of Barker & Sons late
today, started fire that before it had been
controlled, destroyed 81 buildings and l.
100000 feet of lumber, entailing total loss
roughly estimated at $4,000 The build
ings destroyed included the Episcopal
church, the Maine Central railroad station,
the town hall, three stores and 10 dwellings.
The buildings were small wooden frames
and did not average over $4,000 in value.
The lumber loss falls chiefly on Barker &
Sons, and is estimated at $4,000. The Jor-
dan Lumber Co., of Old Town was small
loser. The post office and the American
House, and 100000 feet of lumber were
saved with difficulty. Several families lost
much of their effects, while others we're
able to move their goods outside the fire
zone.
The town of Milford is situated Is miles
northwest of Bangor on the line of the
Maine Central railroad. 1t was incorporat-
ed in 1888 and named on account of mills on
very valuable water power on the Penob-
scot river The population in 1900 was $50,
and the valuation the same year 500, 900 es-
tates and 272 polls. The town is about one
mile from Old Town, from which it is sepa-
rated by two bridges over the Penobscot
river and d branch.

Wild Flowers in the Home.

Not every one has a flower garden.
but every one who spends even part
OF the summer in the country has the
freedom of the roadsides, pastures.
meadow, and woods; the wild gardens
which belong to every man and no man.
where every one is free to gather, and
no one to forbid. OF course it is by
courtesy and custom that this freedom
extends to the fields and woods, and
perhaps the unacknowledgedo obligation
enhances the privilege of leaving the
long, narrow roadside flower beds, and
looking for rarer and more effective
things along fences aud hedges, and in
Swallowed and solitary places.
Ii one has acquired the habit of wild
Hover gathering, and the knowledge of
what to gather and how to bring hel
gleanlngs safely home; and the still fur.
Their knowledge of the best decorative
effect to be gotten from them. she has
reached, possibility of great satisfac
ton and everyday happiness.-Candace
Wheeler, in the May Atlantic.

Maine Agriculture Advancing.

Last weeks issue of the Maine Farmer
contained reports from its special exper t
correspondents from every part of the Stat e
giving the outlook of farm operations and
conditions for the coming year The
majority of the reports indicate an advance
in the stock and dairy interests, including
an increasing tendency to enlarge the flock )
of improved breeds of sheep. More and
better horses for farm and city purposes
will likewise be bred; the same advance
holds true with regard to swine and poul-
siderably increased and potatoes growing
will not take backward step. The other
cereals, special crops and orcharding in
terests are not to fall behind in any respect.
In fact the farmers of Maine have ceased
to measure the possibilities of reward BY
the standard of a single years returns.
Their motto has become progressive on q
scale which the past has demonstrated will
Weld profitable returns in series of years
regardless of occasional low margins on
specific products.

GRANTS BIRTHDAY
Observed by the Middlesex Club In Boston

Observed by the Middlesex Club In Boston.
Boston, April 81. The Middlesex
Club celebrated the anniversary of the
birth of Gen, U. S. Grant with dinner
! at the Hotel Brunswick tonight. The
special guests and speakers were Jus
tice John Franklin Fort of the supreme
court OF New Jersey, and George G. Cor
ham, who was secretary of the United
States Senate from 1868 to 1879. About
$50 members of the club were present.
| Gen. Edgar r. Champlin of Cambridge,
the president of the club, presided at
the after-dinner exercises, which were
planned in honor of Grants memory.
During the dinner appropriate selec-
tons were sung by the assemblage.
Judge Fort, who responded to the toast
sentiment Grant, dwelt upon the life
and character of the soldier.
Mr.. Gorham's subject was Grant in
the White House. He presented remi-
nlscences of Gen. Grant.
The speaker dwelt particularly on
Gen. Grants love of peace and of his
desire to remain at the head of the
OF the United States, the nomination
to which he accepted only because he
felt that his party needed him at a crit
tration he pointed out the diplomacy
with which he dealt with Great Britain
IN the famous Alabama claims Had
TINS controversy remained unsettled,
MT. Gorham said, peace with Great
Britain would never be assured. Pres
ldent Grant not only avoided war with
Great Britain, but forced that country
10 apologize for her unfriendly actions |
during the civil war. OF Gen. Grants
political life, Mr. Gorham said that it |
was marked by many mistakes, espec-
Tally his unwillingness to consult lead
ers in the Senate and House, but de-
spite that fact his reelection to the !
Presidency by great majority was a
silent mark of the esteem in which he
was held by the people of the United
States.
Congressman Samuel L. Powers of |
massachusetts, and Rev. P. S. Henson,
ID. d., pastor of fremont Temple, were
prevented by illness from responding
TO toasts which had been signed to
them.

Staples for Congress.

At meeting in Rockland Wednesday
night, April 26, of Limeworkers' Union
No. 1896, it was voted unanimously by
the $50 members to support Lindley M.
Staples of Washington for Congress
man in 1906. President Hartman states
that this action will be endorsed by all
the other labor unions in the second
Congressional district.
From the action taken by this meet
ing it will be seen that something has
occurred to change the original plan of
the labor organizations to nominate
Senator Staples for Governor. 1t is
understood that Cyrus W. Davis will
be good enough candidate for Cover
nor for them in 1906, says the Rockland
Star.

A Brooks Orchard.

Ex-Sheriff Joseph K. Littlefeld of Brooks
has something of an orchard In converse
ton with his sou, Selectman Harry W. Lit
tletield, we learn the following facts in rela-
ton to it. OF apple trees, of all sizes, they
have about 5000. These trees if set 30 feet
apart, the usual distance, would cover sixty
all in one group, but are scattered over their
large farm beside the walls, fences, roads,
etc About two thirds of their trees are
bearing many just beginning. In 1904 they
raised 1000 barrels of apples, Of which 100
barrels were Baldwins; $50 barrels were r.
l. Greetings, and $50 barrels of fall apples.
Their young trees, not bearing, are mostly
