HAS POSITION TO MAINTAIN
Drum-Horse of British and American
Cavalry Bands Must Be of Dis
tinguished Appe arance.

There are grades of honor. even
among horses. We are apt to think of
the war horse as proud animal, and
so he is, and has right to be, for he
Is called upon to be as Brave as he >
proud. But pr0udest and most diglI
fed of all horses of the army is the
animal that is called upon to fill the
position of drumrhorse in the regimental
band. In the American and British
armies cavalry bands are mounted, and
the most honorable position in all the
band is that Of the bearer of the Kettle
drums. The horse is selected for his
distinguished appearance. He is often
pebald, althO sometimes pure white.
Something more than mere beauty Of
form is required of the drum-hOrse. He
must be trained until he becomes a dig
nitied and graceful bearer of the hand

calling. His education is severe and
prolonged bring.as, IN w 20 that point

Butterflies.

Why don't we call them "Flutter-
fiesT That would mean something.
At any rate, they are thick right now,
perhaps because they haven't had as
many enemies this year as usual. The
enemies of the butterfly are little
wasplike stinging things that lay their
eggs within the body of the cater
pillar Then when these eggs hatch
sometimes it As after the caterpillar
has rolled himself up for his devel-
opment into a buttertiy-these eggs
hatch and eat everything within reach,
so, of course, there is no butterfly
1t isn't as hard to study the butter
flies as it is to know the birds or even
the wild flowers. Some species are
common and have very distinct mark
ings. There is the monarch butterfly
with its brick-red color veined and
margined with black. and with hind
wings lined with yellow. There is
copy of the monarch too, flying about
with rounded wings, almost like the
monarch, except that it is smaller and
has a half-circle line across the mid
die of its hind wings. This is the
disippus.
Look. too, for the mourning cloak,
a rich purple brown above, with
wide margin of pale buff and a row
Of small blue spots. This is the COM
monest alternating butterfly and is
known all over The world. It is the |
last to be seen in the fall.

MIND HYPNOTIZED BY SIGNS
One Reason Why City Man Fails to
Famiiiarize Himself With the
Towns Landmarks.

"Do you know why it is so hard to
city these daysY" asked the old
timer
1T is something that has bothered
me great deal. / can remember that
up TO ten or twenty years ago l never
had any trouble remembering that on
such and such corner was a three
story building with a wabbly tin
cornice On another corner was
yellow warehouse, etc
But a fellow doesn't remember
these things any more unless he makes
it a duty. l mean that the mind is
no longer impressed photographically
with the appearance of buildings-or
vacant lots.
''The reason is the advertising. signs
that assault the eye wherever one
looks. The letters of the alphabet are
so familiar to the eye that when we
see a sign the eye at once begins trac-
ing the letters. This doesn't mean
that we read all these signs. -Our eye
is just unconsciously attracted to the
familiar type-and this type is about
all it sees on a building or a vacant
lot.
81 don't refer only to sign boards.
The merchants nowadays. particularly
the smaller merchants, fill their win
dows with signs of all descriptions.
The names of the stores are lettered
all across buildings. The result is
we remember neither building nor
sign"

How She Played Sir Walter.

The duke of Westminster recently
came to the rescue of beauty in dis
tress in the person of the Anglo
French actress Alice Delysia, with as
ready gallantry as Sir Walter RAJ
leigh's when he saved Queen EiZ-
abeth's feet from the mud.
The actress was motoring from eau
terets and sought to cross the Spanish
frontier at Hendaye, but ran up
against the immovable Spanish Gus
toms men, who demanded 10000
francs, as the Spanish laws against
automobile smuggling provide for a
money deposit equal to the value Of
the car
Not having such large sum, she
was about to turn back, when a mo-
tOrist who said he had often applaud
ed her performance in London asked
if he might be permitted to offer as
sistance. The permission was grant
ed and the stranger presented the GUS
toms officials a check. It was signed
by the duke of Westminster.
