Butterfly "Sno.u Storm

The cities of Verona and Mantua,
italy, were captured recently by an in
gading host of white butterflies. For
several hours the streets, sidewalks
and the roofs of houses were complete
~ covered by the beautiful insects,
which gave the illusion of a light fall
of snow
The butterflies invaded houses and
cafes and several of the large shops
were obliged to close their doors. The
occupation lasted for three hours, at
the end of which time the visitors
vanished within the space of few
minutes.-From lie Petit Parisien.

Old Chest Properly
Has Place in Museum

It has been pointed out many times
that chests were probably the first
form of cabinet making in this country
Our ancestors could sit on a log, but
! they could not put their clothes in
one. Chests, per contra, could be used
for storage, and at the same time for
other purposes as well. In the house
hold, on journey, at sea, the chest
was a necessary part of equipment. A
curious old pine chest is the property
of Mrs Charles X. Bolton, reposing
safely in the summer home at Shirley,
Mass. 1t is 80 inches long, 20 inches
high and 10 inches broad and its most
distinctive feature is the traces of
painting that have persisted, says the
Boston Transcript
Much of the coloring has disap-
peared, but the front has retained suf-
ficient pigment to show birds and geo.
metrical designs. Originally blue,
black, red and white We're used. There
are only traces now of the red and
black, and but little more of the blue.
The white was more enduring
AS to the age of the chest authori-
ties differ One man competent to
Judge says that the holdings are of
the period from 1860 to 1870; while
the paintings cannot be attributed
earlier than ITO. A reconciling might
be effected by the supposition that the
chest was made between ITO and
1925, but that a holding plane of an
earlier period was used. Another
hypothesis is that the decorations were
applied some years after the chest was
made. The opinion has been advanced
that this is a seachest, but the posi-
ton Of the holdings would seem to
preclude this.
In any case, Mrs. Bottoms chest is
a valuable and interesting piece of fur
niture, rare enough to grace a museum.

ever careful to kill no more thar
