The Lady Guaranteed Silence, and She

Unexpectedly an uptown pastor who
encouraged congregational singing
gained new parishioner. Keen
though his delight In hearing his peo-
pie sing, there was one member of his
flock whose endeavors he never en-
couraged. But The man sang without
encouragement, much to the discount
ture of pew holders anywhere near
him, who claimed that his loud, unmu-
seal voice threw them out of time and
tune
Repeated complaints convinced the
minister that somebody would have to
assume the responsibility of silencing
the ambitious singer. He decided that
the mans wife was best fitted for the
job. Owing to difference in reli-
gious views husband and wife attend
ed different churches, but the minister
knew her, so he called and explained
his predicament. She was genuinely
surprised.
do you mean to say he sings?" she
said.
"Tries to-" amended the pastor.
She thought minute Il shall have
to come there to church" she said.
II shall be glad to see you" said the
minister. But what effect will that
have on your husbands singing?'

significant than words, and they
meant good deal

VANILLA BEANS.

They Are Not Beans at All, but Pods

the foliage is much greener and more

the leaves. are fresh it brightens a

Vanilla planifolia, to give it its full
name, is terrestrial parasite. It

NOISY BUTTERFLIES.
One Species Produces a Sound Like

One Species Produces a Sound Like
the Snap Of a Whip.
One does not think OF butterflies as
making any sounds, nor OF caterpiIlars
as noisy creatures, yet according to the
late Samuel Hubbard Scudder In
"Frail Children Of the Air." the care
full student win find some use for his
ears when observing the habits Of
both. Says the author:
1t is a fact that certain BUTTERFLIES
produce sound during certain move
ments. The whip butterfly when
surprised makes a noise like the snap
Of lash by opening and shutting its
wings in quick succession. Some hi
bernating butterflies when disturbed
make faint kissing sound by slowly
depressing and raising their wings.
The noise thus produced resembles
that made by blowing slowly through
closed teeth. Other sounds resemble
the friction Of sandpaper.
A large number Of caterpillars make
sound by striking the head against the
leaf on which they are resting or by
swinging the head from side to side.

ness of the leaf or on the siIken
threads spun on It It is said that
certain kind Of chrysalis when disturb
ed emits slight, sharp chirp or click
