orlqln Of Boycott.

Boycotting is a species Of conspir-
acy named after one of It's conspicu-
Gus victims, Captain Boycott, an Eng
lishman, who was agent OF Lord Erne,
of the district of Connemara. Ireland.
AS agent he served notice to quit on
the tenants, who retaliated by induc-
ing the population for miles. around
to refuse to have anything to do with
him. His servants left. Armed con-
stables were called IN to protect him
and those who came to take the
places Of former tenants and servants
from violence at the hands Of the sur
rounding population. The term, there
fore, originally signified a conspiracy
to ruin the business of a person by
violent interruption OF his relations
with others. It has been defined by
an American Judge as "a combina-
ton OF many to cause a loss to one
person by coercing others against
their will to withdraw from him their
beneficial business intercourse,
through threats that unless those
others do so, the many will cause
similar loss to them" A boycott, even
when unaceompenied by violence or
intimidation, has been pronounced un.
lawful by many courts; when accom-
panied by violence, 1t is a criminal
Oftense at common law.

rHR MILLIONAIRE

The millionaire was in bis study
His head reclining on his hand
Thinking and thinking earnestly
Of his millions in all the land.
Alone he lived and childless was
In early life he had been poor
But wealth immense, came TO his door.
My three score years are past and gone
Millions increase each year live,
Could to boyhood days return
These many millions would give,
Tho in this castle Of splendor
by all wealth can by,
The laborer working yonder
Is richer, far richer, than 1.
His sleep is sound, his bed a pallet,
1 sleep not though mine is Of down.
He lie sturdy, healthy and brown.
1 am grouty, cross and peevish
I'm envied by all 1t is said
/ I'M the great millionaire, but envy
The poor man who tolls for his bread.
Thank God the poor are much richer
Than the rich who are oftimes poor,
Happiness, health, a conscience clear.
Are riches, and If there were fewer
Gold wOrshippers, far more content
ment
Would be found. IT'S treasure given

From the wealth, Of our Father

A BUTTERFLY FARM.
England Has one with a Nursery OF
Forty Thousand caterplilars.

raising a large proportion Of its own
fodder plants and issuing its periodi-
cal price list OF eggs, larvae, pupae
and perfect insects, Is the natural
outcome OF the popular turning to ma
ture study and the increasing numbers
Of collectors.
Such farm was inaugurated a
few years age at Bexley, Kent Eng
land. by L. W. Newman, +. E. s., and
the venture has proved a great sue
cess. The farm consists of three
quarters Of an acre Of garden and
allotment around his house and half
an acre In a secluded corner OF g
wood, inclosed with wire netting. It
was IN the wood l found him, busily
engaged with one Of his two assist
ants in the task of spring cleaning.
Here was a cage Of wood and per
forated zinc built around a growing
tree. which Mr.. Newman informed
me. contained five hundred specimens
Of the red-belted clear-wing caterpil-
lar; and close by was another cage
huge structure inclosfng no fewer
than seven birch trees and measuring
IL feet by II feet round the sides and
12 feet high--in which we're about
one thousand insects Of different
kinds. Other trees bore smaller cages
Of different sizes and shapes, each
holding a swarm of precious stock,
and so contrived mat they cO1la .-
lifted on to any branch, thus enabling
them to be moved about the wood
lands as the caterpiilars eat the foli-
age
Around his house Mr.. Newman
grows a motley crop Of fodder plants
for his hungry stock. and he has three
glass houses, two Of which are unheat-
ed. In one OF the latter we're. l was
informed about ten thousand caterpil-
lars Of the silver-washed friullary.
The larvae we're in cages planted
with dead nettle. and containing more
than three thousand caterpillars of
the handsome scarlet tiger. and other
cages. also. in which were about five
thousand dark green and high brown
frdllaries.
Throughout the establishment there
are at the present time more than
forty thousand living caterpiliars,
about 120 newly emerged moths and
butterflies, and as it is now the tail
end Of the season for pupae, only
about seven thousand chrysalides. In
June there will be three times the
present quantity of living stock.
The dead stock numbers about
! 100000 set insects, every one Of which
has Its price. ranging from Id. to
e5. e7 and even more for rare varie-
ties. In the same manner as orchid
growers, Mr. Newman sends his as
sistants far away on speculative
forays, though never outside Britain.
He has q man now hunting for a fort
night in North Wales for hibernated
