From the Saturday Review.

ffon the Saturday Review.
 AN ny the world should care for Ny birds so much more than for
 butterflies and moths has some times perplexed the naturalist mind. Watch butterflies and moths closely, not in cork lined case, but the living and free and real thing in the open air and you need not rare patience or intelligence to find out that they are lovely in their dress, curiously interesting and often ex- quisite in their habits. Take their food There may be a few exceptions, as the purple emperor butterfly which has an ugly fetch for carrion, but on the whole our English butterflies and moths are the most refined. the daintiest eaters in the world Epieene their feasts may be ip the sense that members of both sexes will sit down at the same board-perhaps the pinky white blossoms of some great burnet saxifrage or of cowparship in July but not epicene if that be many courses. gross feeding or carouse. It is as food etheralzed that the skipper butterflies or the hummingbird moths sip from the flowers The very honey In the bee comb Is not so chaste, so absolutely unpol- iuted as the nectar which the skipper but terflies draw from the wild vetehings, or the small copper butterfly from the wild rhymes; or as that scented supper which conopsea, the fragrant orchid, at this season pays as marriage fee to the moths by the riverside And then the choice way they take their food! Our way at best is by comparison hogging in the trough. Sneeling in the grasses and bending down very gently one may see the butterfly unrol long hair-like spring. the trunk. and plunge this be- meath the petals. A minute fraction of a drop of nectar is all that it extracts Per laps the butterfly does not always carry out his part of the bargain; he may get his nectar without conveying pollen be- tween another to pistil; but the amount.of hardest bargaining flower knowing of the offense, might pardon it. Nectar has but one drawback-it's a little sticky. The skipper butterfly knows this, and he will not roll up and put away his delicate. feeling trunk till he has cleared it of the smallest speek of sweet. He has no nap kin and finger glass, but not the less he knows how to get that trunk quite clean and comfortable before he spins away for rapturous wing play in the sunshine among the grasses and clovers.
 Or, again. the courtships of some of the butterfiies7can anything be more delicate? :?

RIVAL TO THE HIGH HANDsHAkE
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 One London hostess of high degree, whose word carries weight, has pro- nounced against the high handshake She is not the only woman who says such a hand clasp makes grace impossible. Mrs w. R. Travers Is introducing a new hand shake at Newport. At least, it's new for the day, though our forebears may have used it. The hand is extended on level with the waist line and the grip IS calm and earnest as its admirers tell it, not the drop=it-like-a-h -hot-potato shake, which has been tic recent express sion of alleged cordiality "A cold, radi- ant smiker (whatever that marvel may be) Is the handshake's accessory.

HarbInqers of Autumn.

Already we begin to see the telling signs of autumn's. approach said man who loves nature last night Soon we will be in the midst of that most delight full season of the year-when the barns burst with the garnered harvests, when the autumn elves paint with frey splin- dors the leaves, and the winds tread ma jestically through the forests.
 "One of the first signs Is the far-flung thistledown that can be seen on breezy days sitting down across the landscape. The fields around Birmingham are well sown with the national flower of Scot land, and to an observer. the fluffy heads now yielding up their treasures to the air form pretty sights as they whisper of the melancholy days to eome.'

DINING WITH THE DOCTOR.

By Emma c. Dowd. in Good Housekeep- ing. Patty and Polly and Prissy May Proctor Once were invited to dine with the doctor. With oysters came tablets of chocolate
 brown. With Sprudel water to wash them down; The soup was seasoned with. syrup of
 squills. The salmon was garnished with ipecac
 pills, The turkey stuffing had rhubarb in, Potatoes were powdered with pancreatin; With cod liver oil was the salad dressed. Dotted with tablets of qunine conn
 pressed; Wine of calomel ende the feast, And with this bit of thought the guests
 were released: Our ills come of eating" the doctor said. But my dinners make people immune
 as the dead Patty and Polly and Prissy May Proctor Never again went to dine with the doctsr.

AN Ex-EMPREss' FORTUNE.
From London Truth

From London Truth.
 It has over and over again been stated of late that Queen Victoria of Spain will inherit a fortune from the Empress Eugenie. and one romancing journal an- nounced that the new Queen of Spain will receive a dot of 50.00o.ooO francs from her godmother, preposterous invention. which, however, was accepted as a fact by many of the Spanish newspapers. The real fact is that the fortune of the Elm press Eugenie will be divided at her death one-half going to her grand nephew, the Duke of Albany, and the other half to the Princes Victor and Louis Napoleon.

WEALTHY MEN OF NEW YORK.

From the New York Sun.
 An artless opinion was uttered by a witness in a divorce case in Nevada Mon day. It was, in effect. that all rich New York men are unfit to have charge of A. boy Is. and by implication of a child of any age. This Is the picture of New York ''millionaires' which the yellow camera paints upon the retina of alien though innocent eyes. To the 'barbar- ians' outside of this town such deboshed savages do its plutocrats appear
 The illusion is natural. The amusing thing about it is that 1t is mainly the 'millionaires" from the outer darkness, most of them brand new, rather hulking in their evening clothes and with pas sion for "sparklers." whose invasion and sack of Manhattan make this i'll reputa- tion for the tame villatic hoarders of golden numbers who belong here The known to him as wine" for breakfast, and Is even suspected of bathing in it. the parochial Alcibiades who sounds to this coward and lascivious town his terrible approach" the giant lobster of Lobsteria, happy in gross svlce and happier still in the advertisement of it; this being is in New York, not of it. Some times he has lived laborious years blame- lessy. He hears of Sybaris. It fasci- mates him. But he has not the cultivated tastes, the connoisseurship the refined philosophy of life that can make him an artist even in material enjoyment. Es- sentially he is a bungler and a boor; and as such he is despised even by his para sites and led captains.

Was Counted Out To Be Beaten to

A howl OF derision greeted the ref
eree's ruling, bur it was soon ended,
for Neil went at his opponent like a
madman and hammered him. in his
weakened condition against the ropes
Helpless and without strength to
strike blow in return Tenny dropped
against the ropes. His head sank on
his chest and his arms dropped to his
sides. In this position Tenny was
literally beaten to the floor by Neil
and counted out by the referee. He
was carried to his dressiagroom and
was not revived until an hour later,
when he complained of pains in his
body, which he ascribed to the terrific
blows Of Neil. Later Tenny was re-
moved to the bathhouse, where he
grew worse until death ended his sui
ferings. 5a.#
