GROVE SACRED TO BUTTERFLY
Clusters of Beautiful Creatures Make
 Pretty Sight In Forest Surround Ing Monterey, caIIf.

Round about Monterey, Calif., is a region almost covered by forest of what is known as the Monterey pine. J. SmeatOn Chase, in St. Nicholas, tells of curious phenomenon observed while walking under the trees:
 Gazing up amid the branches, I noticed what looked like a number of large clusters of dull brown, dead leaves, which apparently had lodged iby chance here and there among the tw1gs. AS the clouds parted and the yTarm sunlight struck the tree was gazing at two or three leaves de- tached themselves from a cluster and turned into large red butterflies. Faster and faster the cluster dis solved, until in ten seconds there were, perhaps, 200 or 300 butterflies cluster, bursting like some lovely kind of bomb, and tree after tree adding to its quota, dissOlving into a red cloud of butterflies, so that in a minute or two I was standing bewildered in a workable 'snOWstOrm' of the charming creature es. How many there may have been in view at one time l am afraid to guess certainly 10000, possibly several times as many so many, any way, that a distinct murmur of sound came from the softly flickering wings. Gradually many of them dispersed through the .neighboring forest; but all day the grove was like fairy con- vocation, with hundreds of thousands going to and fro or lettering about the towering shrubs and herbage, while the sunlit sides of the pine trunks and branches often were so reddened with basking butterflies that at a little distance the trees looked as if they had been painted. !"

New Dav for Army Wife

The lot of the army wife is. a hard one and unless 1t is made easier the army system cannot endure, said Brig. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards.
 ''These wives and daughters of sol- dfers," he said, "have patted their hus- bands and fathers on the back and sent them to war without a murmur. They have followed the flag from one place to another, patched and schemed, frozen on one side and roasted on the other from garrison stoves, put up with all sorts of hardships, and never found fault.
 But things are a little different now. They each have a vote and they can reach this system through their representatives in congress. If can tOnments are not made at least con- fOrtable for women of the army, 1t is my opinion that the system cannot en- durG."

IsIand Cities i'm Europe.

There are four cities in Europe which stand wholly or in part on is- lands. Ghent, in Belgium, Is built on 26 islands, which are connected by 80 bridges, the city having as many canals as streets. Amsterdam, in Hol- land, city of ten miles in clrcumfer- ence, is mostly built on piles driven into the sandy subsOiI, but the flowing of the tide and the debriS-of the Aims tel river have made 90 islands and the city has more canals than streets. Tbe waterways are traverSed by over 300 bridges, so that Amsterdam has earned the designation of the Venice of the North. Venice Is built on 80 islands, great and small. which are con- nected by 400 bridges. There Is not a carriage in the city, although footways are abundant, and it is possible to go from one end of the city to the other on foot, though sometimes long detours must necessarily be made. Petrograd is built on peninsula and two islands connected by several large stone bridges, and in summer numerous bridges of boats. which. however, are removed at the first frost.

 Chastenings By MARTHA M'WILLlAMs

co 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.l
 "Why not be frank, major? It's a shocking waste of swear Werds-this way of merely thinking them," Mella asked, her accent intermediate be- tween amusement and faint contempt.
 "Be-becauSe don't want you to shut your door in my face. You wom- en are so lllOgical-aggrava us be- yOnd reason. then pretend to be amazed at-what Is your own doing" the major Spluttered, clinching the arms of his chair so hard his knuckles showed white.
 "As how? Examples, please !" Mel Ia returned demurely. "But talking of examples, while think of 1t, per. init me to call attention to my rise, think what a grOuch I'd be-with the steadfast provocatiOn of my name."
 "What's the matter with your name? Anyway, you can change it," the ma jor retorted, grinning. Mella lifted her eyes. "MeIla, M-Ella." she ejacu1 lated. Martha ElinOr would have been bad enough as the penalty of grand mothers. but Mella-Mella Murly-why, sound like a contingent rhyme!"
 "YOur own fault--yOu know you can change to Mrs. Elliot JamiesOn when. ever you have 8 mind to do It," the major said airily: Mrs. Elliott Gore JamieSon on your visiting card"
 MeIlu smiled. ''The prospect tempts but 1t strengthens character to Over- come temDtntiOnS"

MAKE BUSINESS OF SAVING
WIoa Administration of one'G Income Is the Foundation Stone of
 Building of Success.

Saving part of the income ought to be the rule of every mans life. Of course, this may be Overdone, though it doesn't happen very often. To make a business of saving, a profession of econOmizing, a trade of thrift, is like ly to develop a narSOw nature, even as reckless spending develops habitual imprOvidence. Which state of man is the worse?
 To use good Judgment in saving and spending alike-that's the idea. Rus kin put it in another way:
 Economy no more means saving money than 1t means spending money i; 1t means administration of house i; its stewardship; spending or saving, whether money or time or anything else, to the best possible advantage"
 The man whose wife spends his in- come as fast as he earns 1t keeps his nose fiattened on the grindstOne. The day will come when his earning capa- city will be gone and no preserves will be found on the pantry shelf.
 It is the same if the husband is the Spender and the wife the saver. The best plan is when both follow Ruskins idea of administration and steward ship, saving and spending with com mon sense and due attention to ap- propriate Iiving.-MinneapOlis Journal.

he asked: 7Do you mean 1t; cross your heart?" she nodded mournfully, whispering more mournfully: T have no heart, Billy. A bad, bad man has taken it-and run away" Then some ! how, as women will, she shed Billy upon the Dancy piazza and whirled triumphantly away, but not until she had said privily to him: "I ought not !; to tell--but Joey loves you dearly. It would make me mighty happy to see you happy with fer"
 So she was not surprised when Billy boomed joyOusly next morning: Mel. la, you're a witch for guessing-and other things Sure, I'm engaged to Joey-day's set and everything. Old 1 folks gave me their blessing. Made me feel about seven feet high:" When she had said all the proper things several times over, she got rid of the exuberant lover, who went out beaming like the sun. The major, coming for what he told himself would be a final goOd-by, encountered him halfway down the lawn, misread his face, and passed on with the brief est Icy greeting. The ice had melted when he came upon Mella, looking out of the window with eyes of lamh- i like innocence. "SO glad you came in time to see Billy" she said smiling softly. "His face is like the, morning-a real poem." .- ......... -..
 .'Naturally-as becomes a bride groom" lhe major said bitterly
 "Why. who told yOu?" MeIla asked artlessly.

 And did it tell you the lady's name?' Mella asked.
 "NO-I have known it since yester- day" the major said hOarsely. Mel la. Mella! Why do you, do this? could bear to lose you better-tO real man."
 Better not know so many things than to know so many that ain't sO," Mella quoted with a twinkle. 'I real ly know things-fOr instance, that Billy is to marry Joey Dancy; also the girl who Is going to marry you" Her blush said the rest-as the major smOthered her in his arms she whis- pered: "YOn ought to have guessed. I wouldn't have taken such trouble with you-if I had not meant to keep you for good"

President ObregOn of Mexico has given his sanction to bull fighting by appearing one Sunday afternoon when Rodolfo Gaona. and Ernesto Pastor fought jointly. He occupied a ring side seat. When Pastor. playing the last bull, made what appeared to be a death thrust. the President arose to leave, and the band immediately struck up the national anthem. The bull, however, was not dead and start ed to charge. At the sound of the anthem he stopped in his tracks, low cred his head, and with Pastor stand ing at rigid attention not three feet from the bulls horns, the hymn was completed. A second later the bull tumbled over dead. Veteran fighters asserted the spectacle was the strang- est ever seen in the Mexico City arena. Brooklyn Eagle.

To Tell Time With Your Aands.

Hold your thumbs touching one an- other horizontally and extend the fore fingers perpendicularly. Now hold the hands toward the sun so the shadow of one finger falls upon the other or upon the thumb of the other hand. Where the thumbs join is twelve o'clock, the tip of one finger 6 a. m., that of the other p. m. The shadow will tell you what time 1t is with more accuracy than you can es- timate 1t from the suns position in the sky, after you have learned through experimenting what are the approximate ''hour marks" on your fmprovised "clock." However, it should be remembered that these po> sitions will change with the seasons according as the days are long or short.

Gloves in History.

Gloves were so thoroughly recog- nized as emblems of trust and honor fin former times that they were sent as pledges of safe conduct in times of truce. The one stain on this custom was that the queen-dowager of Na- varre was persuaded to go to Paris to attend the marriage of the king of Navarro, by the embassage of a pair of gloves, and. unhappily, on the morn ing of the ceremony, met her death by means of poisoned gloves.
