Tiger, Zebra Butterflies
Named Because of Color

Butterflies were given their name
because of the yellowish color Of so
many of them, making them look
like butter.
Besides the yellows, there are
many other families of butterflies.
Among these are the meadow
browns, the longbeaks and the swal-
lowtails.
The swallowtails are so named
because of the points which jut out
from their hind wings. These points
have been thought to resemble a
swallows tail.
The swallowtail family is itself di-
vided into many branches. The IL
gers, the blues, the blacks, the ze-
bras and the giants are some of the
branches, according to an authority
in the Detroit News.
The black swallowtail is found in
almost every section Of southern
Canada and the United States. When
eggs of the blacks hatch, the cater
pillars feed on the leaves Of such
vegetables as carrots, parsnips and
parsley. After becoming butterflies,
they fit about for two months or
so before death overtakes them.
The blue swallowtail is one of the
prettiest butterflies in North Amer
lea. The hind wings are largely
covered with blue green scales
which glisten in the sunlight. The
front wings are darker, and have
white spots on them.
Tiger swallowtails are striped vel
low and black. The "zebras" are
striped with green and black and
have longer "tails" than most men,
bers of the group.
The giant swallowtail is the larg-
est in its family. 1t sometimes has
a Widespread of close to five inches.
There are larger butterflies in the
world.

Ancient WAYS of Greeting

How do you greet a friend when
you meet him or her in the street?
If you shake hands or take off your
hat you aren't doing anything new.
You're just following old customs,
says a writer in London Answers
Magazine. In days of old, the join
ing Of hands was equivalent to a
peace treaty-it meant that the
hands were free of weapons. And
even the boldest of knights would
take off his helmet among friends
to show that he wasn't afraid of a
blow on the head. kissing, too, has
it's origin in earliest times. The
old Greeks and Romans used to
kiss their friends and acquaintance
on every occasion. One old scholar
relates that is was polite, when
calling on anyone, to kiss first the
host, then his wife, followed by all
his children, and finally the dog and
cat.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES

"Unreality" will be the subject OF
the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches
of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday,
October 3.
The Golden Text will be from Jer.
2:5 THUS saith the Lord; What
iniquity have your fathers found in
me, that they are gone from me, and
have walked after vanity, and are
become vain?"
Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon will be the fol-
owing from the Bible John l.: IN
the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the
Word was God"
The Lesson-Sermon also will in-
clude passages from the Christian
Science textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy, among which
is the following, page 525 EVERY
thing good or worthy, God made.
Whatever is valueless or baneful, He
did not make,-hence its unreality."

ireland, Mother of CrOquet

Ireland appears to have been the
mother of croquet. A London ivory
turner has produced evidence from
the books of his firm that the firm
was making croquet sets for export
solely to Ireland as far back as 1887
In the annals of the Lonsdale family
it has been discovered that it was
the Irish Miss MacNaughton who
taught Lord Lonsdale's sporting
family the game in 1850. And it was
the Lonsdale family who popularized
it on the English lawns Of that Pc
riod. What seems uncertain is
whether the Irish invented the game
or merely took it over from the Res
toration game of "Paille Maille, I"
after which the street Pail Mall Is
supposed to have been named.

BOARDER HEN NOT
WORTH FEED; GULL
Non-Producers Will Bring
No Profit From Eggs.

BY Dr. W. C. Thompson, Poultry Husband
man, Rutgers University. Service.
Don't feed boarders if it is the
aim to maintain high egg produc-
ton during the summer months.
Egg prices will probably begin to
advance soon, but in view of pres
ent grain prices, the hope of profit
in egg farming lies chiefly in keep
ing. egg production at relatively high
levels.
Gull the laying f1ocks carefully,
removing birds which have stopped
production. Such birds are early
molters with yellow pigmentation on
shanks and beaks and with with
cred, dry combs.
Carry on the same feeding pro-
gram as in winter and provide an
ample water supply. There should
be no let-down in feeding, for it re-
quires lots of good food to produce
eggs no matter what the season.
Do not change rations in summer.
Keep the nests clean, sparsely lit
tered, well ventilated and sufficient
in number to furnish one nest for
every five hens.
Gather eggs at noon and in late
afternoon, preferably using wire
baskets which permit circulation
of air and rapid cooling. Store eggs
in cool, somewhat moist room and
market them frequently during hot
weather.
Remove any male birds-except
when eggs for Matching may be still
desired-and produce only infertile
eggs for table use.
Good quality stock is necessary
to get the best results in summer
egg production regardless of fine
management. If present stock is
questionable as to breeding, perhaps
the coming fall will offer good
opportunity to change.

Fame of Paisley Traced;
Originated in Cashmere

The Paisley pattern, one of fash
ions favorites, traces its Scots
name by devious route and reopens
a forgotten chapter in history. The
beautifully blended design originat-
ed in Cashmere, India, whose ma
tives made a specially of exquisite
wraps, hand-woven from the fine
long fleece of the Cashmere goat.
Into every garment, covered with
almost fairylike tracery, went years
of patient toll and skill.
From India the shawls reached
Egypt by the old trade routes.
The enterprising folk OF Paisley,
in Renfrewshire (noted for CEN
turtles as weavers), saw the posi-
bilities in the hand-wrought Indian
article, and their efforts to repro
duce the pattern on their looms met
with success. From this achieve
ment, according to a writer in the
New York Times, grew an industry
whose story is one of the romances
of commerce. The business evolved
from an idea, on through the stage
of world renown and to virtual ex-
tinction within eighty years; but in
its boom days shawls were manu-
featured to the value of $5,0OO,OOO
and some of them sold for 500.
Paisley has been place Of weav-
ing since the Seventeenth century,
when practically every cottage in
the surrounding shire, as well as in
the town itself, had its hand loom
and attendant workers in linen and
wool.
Though Paisley was founded by
the Romans in "a A. D., the village
really grew up around the abbey
started in 1853 by Walter Fitzalan,
first high steward of Scotland and
founder of the royal Stuart dynasty.
It was Marjory, daughter of Robert
the Bruce, who married Walter, the
sixth steward, and their son, King
Robert II, was the first of line Of
sovereigns that ruled Scotland for
five centuries.
Robert II was buried in Paisley
abbey in 1406, and in 1883 Queen
Victoria honored his house by plac-
ing monument over his grave.

Greatest Soldier Of Fortune

Greatest Of all soldiers of fortune
was William H. Walker, ''the gray
eyed man Of destiny" After gradu-
ating from college at fourteen,
Walker was first a doctor, then a
newspaper man. Suddenly, in 1853,
he sailed with a handful of men
from California, set up a republic
in Lower California. That failed.
But two years later, he led Sc men
to Nicaragua, joined a revolutionary
faction and became undisputed rul-
er of the country. He held out for
a year against union of Central
American countries and unfriendly
American capitalists who backed
his enemies, then returned to the
United States. Several other expe-
ditions failed, and, on the last,
Walker was captured by Hondurans
and executed.

Don't Wash Eggs

Eggs have a natural bloom to
them when fresh. When stale they
become slick, or shiny. This bloom
seems to be made up of tiny pores
in the shell, which may be seen up
on close examination. When a hen
sets on the egg a few days, when
the egg becomes old, or when it is
washed, these tiny pores become
stopped up and the egg cannot
breathe" with a consequent deteri-
Grafton in quality. For that reason,
says the Missouri Farmer, eggs
should never be washed if they are
to be sold on the market. A better
way is to wipe them off with a dry
cloth, or sandpaper the spot of dirt
off with a piece of sandpaper or
emery cloth.

Veneering Used in Egypt
Thousands of Years Ago

While we do not know when and
where the art Of veneering was in
vented, there is no doubt that it
had reached a high stage of de-
velopment in Egypt $500 years ago,
observes a writer in the Chicago
Tribune. It was practiced by the
ancient Babylonians and Assyrians,
by the Greeks, and particularly by
the Romans, who used it not only
in furniture but also in door frames
and panels.
When the ancient European civil
cation was submerged by the dark
ages, the art of veneering was tenn
porarily lost, only to be revived in
the form of inlays during the Rem
aissance. True veneering did not
become common in Europe until
after the middle of the Seventeenth
century, when a new type of saw
was invented which would divide
a plank into thin sheets. The art
reached the point of technical per-
lection during the reign Of Louis
XIV, and ever since that time it
has been practiced by most Of the
great cabinet makers of all coun-
tries, except, of course, in the case
of the carvers, of whom Chippen-
dale is the outstanding exemplar.
Most of the magnificent furniture of
the Eighteenth century France, that
of the Adam, Hepplewhite, and
Sheraton styles in England, and the
really distinguished furniture of the
late Colonial and Federal periods in
America, made a free use of We
neerS.

Shipping Inspection for
Fruit and Vegetables

This is the fifteenth year of the
federal shipping point inspection
service on fresh fruits and vege-
tables, administered by the bureau
of agricultural economics. Nearly
five times as many carloads of these
commodities were inspected at ship
ping points in 1886 as during 1923,
the first full year this service was
available.
During the first years the service
was available in only a few states
and only during the harvesting sea-
son of certain products. Today it
is available during the entire year,
under cooperative agreements with
the state, in California, Colorado,
Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Oregon,
Texas, Utah, and Washington.
In other states, with the exception
of New Mexico, Kentucky, and Yer
mont, where no cooperative agree
ments are in effect, the service is
offered during the movement of the
major fruits and vegetables if the
volume for inspection is sufficient to
prevent prohibitive costs to users.
In nearly all parts of the country
the service is self-sustaining. A few
states have small appropriations
which are used to supplement the
fees collected.
The United States Department of
Agriculture receives from the in
spection fees only enough to cover
the cost of supervision and general
overhead expenses.

First she showed by clever demon
stration what is happening on our
highways and the acknowledged fact
that repeal is playing no small part
in the condition. She also gave an
account of first hand experience
in modern saloon which satisfied
nothing compared to the modern
ones, and place the blame for the
present conditions on the parents and
those of middle age who are indiffer-
ent to the conditions which now xe-
list. She reminded us that it was
no disgrace to- be classed with the
cranks in this matter, as Webster
tells us that cranks are what make
things go. The Bible is full Of the
record of cranks who were consider
ed such by their fellow men starting
with Noah and on down to jeremiah
and even Jesus himself. Others that
were mentioned were Martin Luther,
VIM. Lloyd Garrison ana Carrie
Nation. She also reminded us that
only one quarter of the people voted
for the repeal and all that is neces-
sary to change the condition especi-
ally when local option is made pos
sible, is to get those who were in
different then so awake to present
conditions that they will want to
have a vote next time, and they will
prove as is happening in many dis
tricts that liquor will be voted out
to stay.
The directors reports revealed the
variety of interests of the members
and much work accomplished dur
ing the year and were reappointed
to carry on the good work.

ed to serve for the coming year:

ston; Vice President, Miss Virginia
