COUNTRY OF MANY WONDERS
Description of MarveIs of Madagascar Worthy Only of Pen in Hands
 of Genius.

Madagascar, the great African is land, at certain attitudes on her pla- teaus, permits the European visitor the enjoyment and the surprise of picking a strawberry or a peach. Madagascar is the land of marvellous contrasts and of immensely long names. The royal city, Tananarive, also known as An tananarivO, has an ancient palace, Manampisoa, and another native wooden structure, Andrianampoini merina. The city has a park, Ambo- hijatovo, a fortress built on a hill, AmbOhi and a prime minis ter, Rainilairivonu. The traveller de scribing Madagascar in the pages of the Anglo-French Review scatters Af rican names up and down his pages with a wonderfully exotic effect. To African sounds he adds delicate touches of African color. The flowers of Tananarive excite his admiration, and no wonder! The roadside hedges are of lilac, mimOsa, and wild roses Lake Itasy, with its green banks and it's surrounding mountains, affords the contrast of the monstroua alligator and the lovely gracefulness of the egret, or the long rose wings of the f1amingo. Under it's surface, cells, in the shimmering of the water, turn red or black according to the color varia- tions of the lake bottom. This strange land of the HOvas is Africa, Flauberts terre de predilection, and calls for his pen.

Leonard of Holland, Charles O. Dart of Vernon, William H. Hall of Willing ton, Charles A. Thompson of Melrose and Fred J. Cooley, Harry c. Smith, Augustus M. Burke, Thomas F. Noone, Farley B.

BECOMES THING OF SPLENDOR
Evolution of the Butterfly From Hide ous Worm to Beauty Matter of
 Only. Short Time.

The butterfly poetically lives on the nectar of flowers. Just as person changes his tastes as he becomes more refined so does that lovely creature of the air adopt different menu when he dons his wings. Take, for in- stance, the mourning cloak butterfly, sometimes called the Camberwell Beauty; in his original state he is hid eous, even for a worm, black, covered with white spots and stiff tufts of hair. He Is an object to make women scream and to be avoided by every body who does not know what he Is going to be later on. In this condi- tion he crunches leaves greedily and is veritable glutton until the time comes for him to hang himself up by the tail and await developments. Then, behold, he comes out some fine morn ing creature of great splendor Three inches does he measure from tip to tip of his seal-brown velvet wings which are handsomely bordered with yellow and ornamented with pur- pie spots edged with black. Newly born and innocent as he Is nature aI- ready has given him the instinct to protect himself, not by fighting but by strategy. He can feign death with the success of an opossum playing the same game, and this he does when fearing an attack from a bird, for he knows, somehow, that his foe cares only for living prey. So the butter fly skins about through the air sip ping the sweets of the flowers, kissing the rose and the carnation, no longer in danger of encounters with paris green and finding the world paradise.

PHILOSOPHERS VIEW OF LIFE
MT. GosIington Tells How Sight of Funeral Procession Brings Re-
 factions That UpIift.

"As rule." said Mir. Goslington. "l take a cheerful view. Perhaps when l get to be older I shall be more dole full, but it would be hard for me to be that way now. For as far as I've got life has been pretty good to me. have had my little setbacks and now and then real jolt, but on the whole my lot has been happy.
 "True I have not accumulated for tune, but l have had work to do and I have earned living, I might say a comfortable living; and I have been blessed with good health. And so for me all nature smiles and men are friendly and the world Is a pleasant place to live in; I take a cheerful view-as rule.
 'But I will admit that I do have spells, not of sheer despondency-l would not say that, but times when l am depressed, when things go wrong, when adverse happenings have all but discouraged me; times when l totally forget what we should in such days always remember, namely, that there pever yet was storm but cleared off some time, to leave everything bright and sunshiny as before; there are times, say, when even I. usually so cheerful, am downcast.
 "When thus oppressed I find great help in funeral processions.
 "As the solemn cortege passes can- not but reflect that I still have the one great priceless gift and blessing life, with all its hopes and opportuni- ties: and so. with all respect and sor- row for the dead, in this presence my own petty troubles vanish, the clouds roll back and the sun comes out clear and strong again.-New York Sun.

ing the interruption.

"It came over me all of a sudden ttere in Chicago that if the fellow that wrote that advertisement could make nle buy that typewriter and take that course when I'd never been buncoed before, why he could write letters that would sell my prune crop for the big gest money. He could take the sales end of the business and it would pay to offer him a good salary. So l had a different motive after I left Chi cago"
 'Now, I suppose you are veXed with ne because Pm not man." suggest cd Jane.
 "1 hadn't quite thought things out vet" he informed her. "I didn't know until just now that 1t was girl. That never occurred to me. The youngster out there didn't tell me. just showed her the advertisement and said l want ed to see the fellow that wrote it, and she said wanted to see the ad writer and the ad writer was too busy, and so I kept coming until this time she let me in."
 There was quite an awkward silence and then their eyes met-Jane's and Peters-and Jane said: 'Tm sorry" and Peter asked her why.
 Because I feel as if I'd got you all the way from Oregon and now you can't lambaste me-it wouldn't be fair, when you are so big and Pm so little-and you can't take me back as your business manager either''
 Peter assured her that she need not feel guilty, because as it happened, he had been able to put over deal in some land he owned in Oregon that would mean many times what the trip Fast had costa deal that he could not possibly have managed by letter. TEen Peter looked at Jane sitting there in the big chair and told her he was lonely in the strange city and asked her to have dinner with him. Jane re- fused by inviting him to have dinner with her at her brothers apartment, where she made her home.
 Peter spent only week in the East .ern city of correspondence schools, brt if he had spent a year he would have been no surer that Jane was the one girl in the world with whom he wished to share the fortune that is sure to come to him from his prune about having a rather gorgeous house built for his bride in place of the bunk cabin of his bachelor days.

 If you please, sir, there's a man at the front door, and he wants to know if you could give him a pass for his wife and six children to see the per formance, as he's out of work"
 ''Who Is the man?"
 q don't know, sir"
 "He must be a madman," exclaimed the comedian. "Has he got his facul- ties about him?"
 "|I-I-I think not sir" stam- mered the maid. He's got something tied up in red handkerchief"
