BTTTTERFTIEs IN RATTT,E

"A battle of butterflies" said the Japanese Viscount firmly.
 Impossible" creid the lady on his right.
 "oh," the viscount insisted, 'the thing is authenticated It happened on August 20, 1889. Tales and poems with out number have been written on 1t.
 "On the evening of August 20 two opposing armies of the butterflies fought an aerial battle between No- 1ima and Kavasaki-M -Mura. The fight continued till sunset, when the smaller army turned and retreated the victors pursuing it till all were lost in the rosy sunset haze. The ground beneath the combat was thickly strewn with wounded and dead warriors.
 ''The battle drew a thousand people. It occurred about thirty feet up in the lair. The spectators were amazed and horror stricken to see these gentle blue butterflies grappling and strug- gling furiously and silently in blue blizzard above their heads. "-From the New Orleans Democrat.

SHOULD LIVE 100 YEARS
Sir James Crichton Browns Opinion.

Sir James Crichton Brown, of Eng land, at the Congress of the Royal h. stitute of Public Health in London, gave a lecture on old age. He states that if every person should live right and take the proper care, to live one hundred years would be matter of course.
 There is no excuse for feebleness at the age of fifty, sixty, or even seventy. In every person there is a constant caange taking place in the system, and just so long as the supply equals or exceeds the waste, just so long will old age be warded off.
 When one finds their energies flag ging, the organs acting slowly and less etfectually, the blood sluggish, and, in fact, feel old" then there is nothing known to medicine that will restore elasticity to the step, brightness to the eyes, yigor to brain and muscle, and strength so every organ in the body so surely as our real cod liver preparation, Vinol.
 Vinol contains, in concentrated form, all of the medicinal building elements of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' flyers, the useless oil eliminated and tonic iron added.
 We ask every old person in New Ha- Ven to try Vinol on our offer to return money if not satisfied. Hull's Corner Drug Store
 Note,-While we are sole agents for Vinol in New Haven, 1t is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly every town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in your town.

the full and. uninterrupted discharge of public duty to pursue it, and I have, therefore, during my services with two or three trifling exceptions, purely lo- cal, absolutely abstained therefrom.
 For years private duty has plainly demanded of me an early return to the practice of my profession, and I have never since I last took the oath of of flee wavered in the determination to retire fro mpublic office on the expira- tion of my present term, March 5, 1909 I might well content myself with a public declaration of my purpose so to retire if it were not for a like declara- tion made on a former and similar oc- casion and what followed 1t. In the year 1900 I announced through the press over my signature to the republicans of Wisconsin that had "unalterably de- ternined' to retire from public life at the expiration of the term ending March 8, 1903. unless I should deem it my duty to resign at an earlier date. l justified the announcement so long in advance upon the ground that the peo-
 
 office were entitled seasonalbly to know from me that I would not accept a re- election. Despite that declaration cir cEmstance, with which the people of the state are familiar. and which, therefore need not be here recounted, seemed to make it my duty to accept a reelection proffered as it was in a manner which rendered 1t at once a command and a finer honor than any which I had ever dreamed would come to me; one indeed which ought to satis- fly the pride and ambition of any man. A similar declaration by me at this time, however, strongly phrased (and it could not be more strongly Dhrased) would, am persuaded, prove unavail- ing to withdraw my name from con sideration during the next two years as did that which I so publicly and unre- servedly made in 1900.
 As my purpose to retire from public life is and has been irrevocable. I am unwilling to be further considered In connection with an office which I could not in the circumstances accept.

 I avail myself of this opportunity to say, albeit I am sure it is not needful that I am inexpressibly grateful to the republicans of wisconsin Tor the gen. erous and abiding confidence which has led them three times to elect me to the high office of senator of the United States.
 I have the honor to be.
 Yours respectfully,

ATTACK ON THE 1r1nGE.

They had Iivey scene in a court in Algers when 30 thieves were brought up for their sentences. The judge had just sentenced the prisoners, when a notorious thief flung 6 boot at him. It hit the presiding judge on the nose, making the blood spurt. This was a signal to the other prisoners, for im- mediately storm of boots, caps and other articles hurled through the air, and amid the confusion the band of thieves made dash for liberty The gendarmes had to draw their swords before order could be restored. All the prisoners were caught and lined up again before the judge, who gave them all three years more at hard labor for committing an outrage on the magis- tracy Kansas City Journal.

PLANNING HOME GROUNDS,
There Must Be Trees, but Don't Worl

 for Big Effects.
 In planning home grounds on the average su'burhan lot, it is well for the horticultural amateur to bear in mind that it is inadvisable to attempt ela- borate landscape effects on an area of limited size, says Hugo Erichsen, in Home Magazine. Distance lends en- chantment to the view, it Is true, but distance can not be secured on q small lot. We may convey an idea of it by means of deeply recessed bays in the border, but our friends will not relish the joke of it, on turning a corner, they run bang up against a board fence, in- stead of finding the open space they expected beyond.
 If on the other hand, a simple ar lrangement is adopted, merely involving a plain border in which tree, shrub and perennial alternate irregularly, a much more pleasing effect is obtained with out resort to sham. There is a multi tude of shrubs to choose from, includ- ing novelties of merit, but the bushes our grandmothers knew, such as the mock-orange, the lilacs and common snowfall, still give satisfaction and combine beauty with cheapness.
 But the home grounds would be in- complete without trees, and the trees with which most people are familiar grow to such an immense size that the very idea of adding collection of trees to a suburban garden appears to be perposterous. Fortunately, however Q number of dwarf and medium-sized trees are available, trees that com mend themselves not only on account of the beauty of the foliage but also because of their form, and judicious selection from these, based upon in- dividual requirenents--for no two gar dens are exactly alike-will provide a suitable background for the display of shrubbery and other hardy plants.

HORSES sNpwsHoEs IN DAKoTA

Horses wear snowshoes in Dakota in winter. Thus equipped, they trot light ly over drifts wherein they would other wise sink out of sight.
 In some parts of Dakota the snow lies all winter long eight or ten feet |deep. But crust forms on it, and with snowshoes men skim over it cas- ily Lately their snowshod horses have also skinned over it.
 The equine snowshoes are made of boards 20 inches long and II inches wide An indentation to fit the foot is branded on each board with hot horseshoe and the comtrivance is fas- tened on the hoof with an iron clamp and bolt.
 After day or two of practice a Da- kota horse becomes an expert snow shoer.-From the Minneapolis Journal.

Post of St. Kilda-Newspaper Carried
 in Plaster Busts
 Letters by airship are the latest nov city of the French postal system. Last month a party of military aeronauts ascended from Meudon and steered for the War Office at Paris. When over the building the airship was brought to halt, and letter addressed to the Minister for War, Gen. Picquart, drop ped from the ear. Through their glass es the aeroauts watched the missive in it's descent and as soon as it'had been secured made their way back to Meu- don.
 A very ingenious method Is employ ed to facilitate the delivery of letters to the islands of the Tonga group in the Pacific. These islands, guarded as
 ney are by dangerous rocks an6 )reak- CTS, says London Tit-Bits, are difficult and hazardous of near approach, and would often, were the ordinary outline of delivery employed, have to go let terless. To obviate this the steamer that carries the mails is supplied with skyrockets, by means of which letters are projected across the danger zone onto the shore.
 During the winter when St, Kilda has no direct communication with the mainland the inhabitants deposit their letters in small buoys of peculiar shape, These are then thrown into the sea, and are by the currents carried to the mainland, where they are rescued from the waves and their contents talk en to the nearest post office. A floating pest office consisting of a painted cask is attached by chains to the rocks at the extreme point of Terra del Fuego. To this strange office, which is under the joint protection of all nations, ev- cry passing ship sends boat to post and collect letters.
 J. A. OShea relates how Bazine, dur ing the seige of Mert, sent a message through the enemies lines.

 Then, disguised as a beggar, he left the town, the sentries to give color to the ruse, discharging blank cartridges at him as he fled.

New sheep Feeding Era In the

Mutton finishing operations in the

by scarcity and high prices of thin

Breeders Gazette. Chicago, which fur
ther says:
These few years ago went beg
ging at Chicago and Omaha. Now val
ues are decidedly out of line with fin
ished stock. practically eliminating the
finisber's margin and forcing him to
feed largely for the gain.
In other words, the man out west
proposes to go out of the business Of
selling feeders and finish everything at
home. .E5TrNf t-,7-. s-sstsi ---'..
The fact must be apparent to any
close student that the west will not
long continue to furnish the east with
material TO fill its feed lots" said Mr..
Knolling, an Idaho breeder. with the
rapid settlement OF the west and ex-
tension OF the irrigated area devoted
to small grains and alfalfa, feed will
become abundant. and II must be con-
sumed on the ground, owing TO long
nauls and expensive freights. The
grain and hay grower In the west will
need every sheep and lamb available
as a medium for converting his crops
into an easily transported marketable
commodity This is why Michigan,
Ohio and othert eastern states cannot
depend on the west for "A supply OF
feeders In the future. If they intend TO
continue in the business of making fat
mutton it is up TO them to resume
