The gypsy moth. like all insects of its
class. exists under four different forms
during the year. The eggs of the moth
are laid in July and August in a yellow
ish. hair-covered mass. averaging about
one and one-half inches long and about
three-quarters of an inch wide. To the
eye the egg mass resembles a small.
tightly stuffed, oval. buff-colored cushion.
but during the winter the color often
fades to a dingy white. In this mass the
eggs, to the average number of about 500.
are closely packed with yellowish hair
from the body of the female moth. An
individual egg is scarcely as large as a
pinhead. saImon-colored when first laid.
but turning dark in the course of a few
weeks.
The eggs hatch about May 1. and each
mass or cluster" yields n swarm of small
caterpiIlars. the bulk of which become
fully grown by midsummer. Gypsy moth
caterpillars of any age are decidedly
hairy. Their beads are large in pro-
portion to their bodies. this be-
ing especially noticeable when they
are young. When mature they have a
dusky or sooty colored body. Along the

blue spots. followed by a double row OF
red This double row of spots may be
seen very distinctly on the back OF a
gypsy moth caterpillar which has attained
a length of inch and half or more.
There are five pairs of blue spots and six
pairs of red. No other New England Iarva
has this double row of red and blue spots
along its back. Until the caterpillar
grows to the length of an inch and a
half. however. it does not always show
these spots very distinctly. The mature
gypsy moth caterpillar not infrequently
attains a length of three inches.
When fully grown. usually in July. the
caterpillar spins lew threads OF silk as
a supporting framework, casts it's skin
and changes into pupa. or. as 1t Is some
times called, a chrysalis. The pupa is
dark reddish chocolate in color and
very thinly sprinkled with light, reddish
hairs Unfortunately, 1t resembles closely
the pupae of certain other moths found in
New England, and cannot be identified at
n glance except by naturalists or experts.
The thinly sprinkled. light reddish hairs
are, however, characteristic.
From about July Is to August Is the
winged moths emerge from the pupae. the
date varying according to the season and
the period of pupation. The male moth
is hrownish yellow, varying TO greenish
brown In color. He has a slender body
and expands about one and a half inches
and fies actively by day with a peculiar
zigzag fight. The female moth Is nearly
white, with numerous small black mark

In this practical age there are few
people who are not glad to take advan-
tage of the opportunity to add to their
incomes should the occasion occur. And
for persons who keep their eyes open
there are many channels at the present
day In which any man or woman may,
If so inclined, turn their energies to
profits. Perhaps one of the best of these
lies in the securing of many kinds OF
antiques and art treasures In demand
by collectors which are to be found In
very large numbers all over the country
If only one knows where to look for
them.
The most likely places of all where
this kind of thing is to be found are in
the t-of-the-way villages, and 1t is no
exaggeration to say that a number of
priceless relics are In existence at The
present moment in humble cottages, al
though their owners are quite unaware
of the value of their possessions. The
fine cid grandfather clock is such ia
miliar feature OF the cottages kitchen
that most persons will scarcely attach
much value to this article.
Yet, In fact, there is a very real
demand amongst dealers for this relic of
a bygone age. With a few trifing ex-
ceptions these big clocks are not manu-
featured at all at the present day, so
that any grandfather which one may
come across is almost certain to be really
an old one. Good specimens in working
order, If the case be of some solid wood,
such as oak or rosewood, will sell for
500 easily, and the value is a good deal
enhanced If the clock has an engraved
brass face.
1t is quite possible that anyone might
come across one of the finest decorated
grandfather clocks. These were made
about $50 years ago. and the particular
feature about them is that the cases. al
though manufactured in England. we're
sent out to the Far East to be enriched
with mother-o'-pearl and generally dec
grated. These are very much wanted at
the present time. and such a clock in
good preservation would sell easily for
several hundred dollars. One word of
caution may be given to the Spectator in
grandfather clocks. At all costs avoid
''grandfathers' which only go for 30
hours: there are many of these about,
and although they are old. yet they are
worth very little.

An old veteran, probably 20 years OF
age, put in an appearance before Captain
H. r Palmer at the postofice Wednesday
evening and demanded Of him. as a mem
Der Of the board Of trustees for National
Homes for Disabled Volunteers, that he be
furnished with transportation to Cheyenne

Palmer told the veteran that he was not
authorized to furnish him transportation
but that II he was in need arrangements
might be made to send the applicant to the
Old Soldiers home at Leavenworth, where
he would be comfortably cared for for the
remainder of his days without expense.
The old fellow said he didn't want to go
to any soldiers home. and left the postoffice
in a very indignant mood.
Thursday morning Captain Palmer re-
ceived letter from the veteran, dated from
one Of the Omaha hotels. stating that the
writer had established himself in the hotel
and that he had informed the proprietor
that he could look TO Captain Palmer for
the bill
The old fellow had taken the precaution
to establish himself in one Of the best
hotels OF the city. But Captain Palmer an
nounoes that he will have to repudiate the
responsibility for the old fellows keep and
