The other day l saw the Liminitis ursula. of F'abricius, in the garden, with his hind wings of porcelain blue shining in the sun. He is only an Oc- casional visitor, like the tree-toad and the yellowhammer. This butterfly rightly stands at the head of the Liminitis family four of which are found in New England, with varieties in Illinois, New York and Florida /making total of seven in America. It is pOpularly known in some places as the damp spot butterfly and is oftenest seen on shady country roads where the ground is wet. They are swift flyers, and collectors of ex- perience never pursue them since they come back to the spot from which they were frightened In netting these the patient waiter is no loser. This Is one of the prettiest butterflies in this part of the country, and they are so diff cult of capture that many good speci- mems are not seen in collections.

It seems to me it is the most en- thusiastic amateur in Horticulture who in time makes the greatest profes- sional. The other day We noticed that a grower of dahlia roots was planting 100000 and getting them into the ground at the rate of 30,000 a day, or 5000 an hour-no ordinary mind can comprehend this; and then there is a specialist in New York state who grows 75 acres of gladioli; and one in California who grows 75 acres of car nations; a dahlia specialist in New Jersey plants 300 acres; and a peony specialist in another state devotes 150 acres to this noble flower; and in Cali fornia wet lands there are 20 acres of calla lilies in one patch. We do not realize what greatness in this line means. Such extreme and intensive Horticulture is certainly wonderful.

 A queer thing happened in the courts of Switzerland lately, when complaint was made against cult that healed the sick by prayer and the laying on of hands. The court of the first instance found them guiltless
 since they adm nistered no remedies and could not be said to enter the medical field. The cases were carried to the higher court and the persons complained of were found guilty be- cause the cure was the result of sug- gestion, and suggestive therapeutics had been part of medical practice since the days of Esculapius; hence they were guilty of invading the medi- cal field and wete sent to prison.

Taft Beaten From Field.
Fairly speaking and putting it the
softest way for Taft. he mas been whip
ned and beaten from the field. The
news from New Jersey came as last
feather TO the camel's back Of his reso-
luton which had begun bending with
Illinois and Massachusetts. and has been
showing increased and increasing signs
Of breaking ever since.
The men whom Taft thought were his
friends have turned out TO be only a
beaning host Of political breadliners,
with expantsnt hearts and hands out
stretched They used HIM and now
they desert him.
Tables Arc Now Turned.
Where once they had trouble seeing
him and pushed and iockeyed and JOS
tied for the privilege he now has even
more trouble in seeing them. Such as
Cannon. Penrose, Hale, Root Sherman
and others of a similar selfish feather
he is IN this. his hour OF gloom and
mourning. unable to find with a search
warrant.
What comes bitterest to one OF Taft s
soft baked and defenseless tempera-
ment is that he receives little or less
sympathy Cannon makes no secret OF
his satisfaction at the disasters which
have overtaken Taft He says that he
(TafD should never have put Mac
Veagh and Fisher in his cabinet
Now that matters are upside down
with Taft, Sherman is not displeased
at primary returns which prove that it
was Taft, not he, who destroyed the
administration.
Cabinet Not Sympathetic.
Even the cabinet is in no sense a
sympathetic unit Up one cabinet side
and down the other there has been
going for some time the general kick of
"roo much Wickersham." Now. when
sorrow has leaped like a black beast
upon the back of Taft and defeat has
him squarely between its jaws, Knox
and Meyer and Fisher and even the
timid MacVeagh do not seem grief
bitten to the heart. Wilson is old and
has troubles of his own while slim
