THE BLUE BUTTERFLY.

r Upon the top of the golden throne
of the queen of the fairies sits
a gorgeous blue butterfly, wav-
ing her sapphire wings. She is
honored above everything else In the
palace-snd this is the reason.
Once fairy prince, who was brother
to the queen, came to visit her He was
handsome and brave AMI all that a
prince should be; indeed, he was so
brave and daring that the queen begged
him not to risk himself in dlnger RS; but
the prince merely laughed at her fears.
Now there lived In mountain cavern
near by a wicked giant. He hated the
ferries. most of all the queen and her
brother. So he determined TO capture
him. One day, as the prince was hunt
ing griffins, that had withered the flow
ers in tairyland with their poisonous
breath, he saw one with beautiful
dappled skin.
THAT skin will make splendid rug
on after the griffin. 1t lied fast, but
the prince followed just as fast Now
this griffin was a wicked goblin that the
giant had gotten to take that shape in
ern. SO. when the griffin lied irto the
mouth of the cavern the prince without
think ing dashed in after It. At once the
great iron doors changed together and

/ toad by magic and send word to the
queen that you can only be freed by her
repeating a magic word before the cav
err door. Their her subjects will coIrc
to find out the magic word and l viii
catch them"
With that he changed the prince into
a toad and sent word to the queen what
he had done and that the prince could
only be freed by her repc lting a crr-
tin magic word before the cavern door.
When the queen heard this she was N
great distress, and one after another
little fairy rsked his little life in try
ling to get into the cavern and learn
the magic word. But the giant would
discover every one of them until the
lpoor queen refused to perrnit any more
ito try. Now, In the palace gardens was
ia beautiful blue butterfly that lived
ion the honey dew of the flowers. She
!pitied the poor queen, AMI so one day
she said TO her;

but l will fit in on a sunbeam as 1t
enters the cavern, and he cannot see
me for the brightness. The walls of the
cavern are of sapphire, and l will allght
there where he cannot see me, for

so, when the sun was setting and its
rays shot straight into the cavern, the
butterfly glided in, on a. sunbeam so

Then she lit upon the sapphire wall so
much like her own color that the giant
could not see her there and clung still
as could be and listened. At last the
giant. who was lying on his couch,
called the little toad to him.
"Ho, hov he laughed, jeeringly. You
are really a fairy prince, but here you
are but toad. If the queen knew that
one magic word, she could free you, but
she does not know it, Do you want to
know It? Well II Is 'Abracadabra, but
the queen will never learn it." Then the
giant lay back and was soon asleep.
But the butterfly, who had heard the
word, cung to the wall until the next
day when the sun was setting. and then
fitted out on a sunbeam, and, hurrying
to the queen. told her all she had heard.

the others combined
The Houdan is of French origin
While it carries with it the headgear
similar to the Polish, yet it is much
value to the poultry raiser. In color it
is notified white and black from head to
tail. There is but one variety.
Games are strictly in a class by them
selves, being of an entirely different
type and makeup from anything else
In the poultry calendar. They are put
together in angles, long In legs, tail
and neck, and presenting an appearance
Of being long drawn out. The true
Game fancier is rarely a fancier Of any
other varieties. The Game fancy is
a fancy all to itself. The standard Game
is composed of eight varleties-Biack
Breasted Red, Brown Red, Golden Duck
wing, Silver Duckwing, Birchen, Rdl
Pyle, White, Black. The Game is a
hard feathered fowl solid in flesh and
calculated to withstand a good deal
of hardship. 1t is very active in its
makeup, therefore good forager They
make one of the best fowls for the farm
obtainable. They viii come nearer Sc
curing their living under adverse cir
cumstances than any other fowl. They
will hatch their own young and brood
them to perfection, protecting them
from all invaders. They are about as
good layers as the Leghorns, and ma
ture in about the same time. The Black
Breasted Red is the most popular Vari-
ETY., with perhaps the Red Pyle next.

about two pounds more each.
The Bluffs have been bred in
this country for number of
years, but the Whites and Blacks
are newer. On the other hand.
the Dorllings are an old and we'll
established breed.
The Polish variety is bred almost
strictly for ornament, for they are the
fanciest of the fancy, small in size. with
large. fun tails and the head surmount-
ed by a large crest or ball Of feathers,
rounded and uniform in shape. They
are not practical or suited to shifting
for themselves upon farms. The sight
is so much INSTRUCTED by the large crest
that they fall easy prey to hawks and
other enemies. There are seven varie-
ties. Any one looking for the real or
namentai fowl viii find it here.
The Hamburg is Of Dutch origin.
While like the Polish. they are small
and of the ornamental type, yet not
being possessed with large headgear
like the former, they are much more
practical and useful in a general way.
They are extremely graceful and tasty
in their carriage and makeup. They
are splendid layers Of eggs, rather
small in size. They consist of six va =

Of most splendid values. It is good layer and,

OF breast meat. 1t carries long keel well
