a Little Indefinite.

A prominent New York lawyer says
that in his earlier professional days he
was glad TO expand his slender income
by bill collecting. On one occasion he
had a bill against man who Incl
dentally has since achieved a success
which puts him beyond the necessity
Of such an indefinite statement as he
made on that occasion. The young
lawyer found him with his feet prop
ped upon his desk, while he gazed
dreamily at the ceiling through cloud
Of tobacco smoke.
"But, really, sir, / must insist that
you give me some definite idea as to
when you will settle" the lawyer said
after having been gently rebuffed.
The author consented to lower his
eyes and to wave his pipe languidly.
"Why, certainly, sir, though there
seems to lie to be a rather unneces-
safy cOmmOtion about this tFifle," he
drawled. Il will pay the bill as soon
as I think of it after receiving the
money which publisher will pay me

He was more surprised and less pleased to receive a note the following day reminding him of the incident and asking him to send the giyer of the flower two seats at the thrater i'll which he was playing "as a memento of the occasion.'
 My dear young lady" the actor re piled. waxing sarcastic as he rcalizc4 what had been the object of the at tention he had been paid, "I would h2 glad to send you the seats you ask t2". but, on consultation with the manager of the theater, I have been Informed that the seats are all fastened down and that he is opposed to having them sent away as souvenirs in any event. so that you will have to be contented with an autograph for souvenir of your benevolence of yesterday in tead."-Harper's Weekly.

The Eookplate.

An ex libris, or boollplate, is a small piece of paper whereon is printed the owners name and pasted on the in side cover of a book-in other words it is a printed slip to denote the owner ship of books. A proper ex libris shoul,l have, first of all, the name, boldly and plainly printed, and a space left for the number of volumes contained in the library; then, to make it more i. teresting and personal, some decora- tive device of the owners peculiar and individual choice as well as some ia vorite motto, if desired. In Europe those who have the right use family crests or armorial bearings for their eX lbris. Every well regulated library should have some mark of ownership and the eX libris takes the place of th2 owners signature.

A Battle of Butterflies.

"A battle of butterflies" said the Japanese viscount firmly.
 Impossible. cried the lady on his right.
 "Oh," the viscount insisted, "til" thing is authenticated. It happened on Aug. 20, 1880. Tales and poems with out number have been written on it. On the evening of Aug. 20 two orno3- ing armies of the butterflies fought an aerial battle between Nojima and E>a vasaki Mura. The fight continues, t,.. sunset when the smaller army turned and retreatad, the victors pursuing it till all were lost in the rosy sunset haze. The ground beneath the combat was thicllly strewn with wounded an! dead warriors. The battle drew thou- sand people. It occurred about thirty feet up in the air. The spectators were amazed and horror stricken to see these gentle blue butterflies grapping and struggling furiously and silently in a blue blizzard above their heads"

Moths and Butterflies

Some moths look very much like but terfies. but there are two ways in which you can always tell the one from the other. Each has little slen der feelers growing from the head but the butterflys feelers. or antennae as they are called, have knobs on the ends. The antennae of the moth some times have tiny feathers on them and sometimes little spires, but thy are never knobbed. Then, too, in aligh. ing the butterfly always holds hel wings erect, while the moths droop or are nearly flat.

Beats Radium For Cost.

If you object to paper money. but wish to carry big values in small com pass. you might do worse than lay Tn stock of best lenses for microscopes. Weight for weight. gold is not nearly so valuable as glass in the form of powerful lenses. and an ordinary purse filled with such lenses might easily represent fortune. The record in~ crease in the value of the manufac- tured article over the raw material IS probably made by this variety of glass, which multiplies itself 50,000,O0O times. The front lens of micro objective in- strument costing about il weighs TO more than about .OO17 of gra:,l: hence the value of such lenses to the weight of about two and a quarter pounds would be about f600.00O. The cost of making this weight of glass is 1h pence to 8 pence. and thus when worked up into the shape of lens the glass has increased in value about 59,- 100000 times.-London Express.
