» "i ——— CHCOTINO A 3UTTERFLY. Ncm* Guinea Variety the Largest In the Worid and Bigger Than a Bird. The largest butterfiy known la found only in British New Guinea and specimens are worth anything from $100 upward. The male measures eight inches across the wings and the female not less than eleven inches, a wing spread exceeding that of many small birds. The story of the first discovery of this gigantic butterfly is a curious one, says The Wide World. A naturalist saw a specimen perched on the top of a tree and failing to capture it by any other means finally shot it. From the fragments lie decided that the species was entirely unknown to science and he forthwith fitted out an expedition at a cost of many thousands of dollars to go in search of the insects. Two members of the party fell victims to the Papuan cannibals and anotlter was rescued only In the nick of time. Spite of this inauspicious commencement to his enterprise, however, the naturalist persevered and ultimately succeeded in obtaining perfect specimens.

A Persistent Foe. Much has been said of late in favor of the extensive cultivation of the black locust, and one railroad company is reported to have planted nearly 1,500,000 trees of this species, with the view of utilizing thdir extraordinary durable wood. But Charles A. White of the Smithsonian Institution points out, in the Ponular Science Monthly, that the black, locust possesses a mortal enemy in a longicom beetle, which bores the wood through and through. It is a native of the same regions in which the tree flourishes, and depends upon the tree for its own existence. When population flowed to Illinois and Iowa, the black locust was taken along. It flourished luxuriantly for some years, until Its Insect foe followed It, and now, says Mr. White, nothing remains of the great groves of black locust in the middle West except blasted remnants. The tree, native east of the Allghenies, from New York to the j v Gulf, was also transplanted to Europe, whither its enemy has not followed It. ,

Air Purification. Purification of the air of great cities is a subject which continually attracts wider attention. Recently the commissioners of works in tiondon, alarmed by the establishment of factories consuming thousands of tons of coal a week, have asked Parliament to consider the matter. They recognize, for the first time officially, says the Engineer, that the getting rid of black smoke would not suffice to cure the trouble. Other products of combustion besides soot, such as sulphurous and sulphuric acid anl solid mineral particles, are deleterious to vegetation, to buildings, to metal objects, and to the pictures, marbles and other treasures contained in museums. ; The eliminaflon of these Impurities I from the air Is an important part of the problem.

Woman as a Traveler. When a woman who is traveling tb assigned to her room in a hotel she looks up the hotel rules on the door and carefully reads them. When she comes to one as follows: “No washing of clothes permitted In this room,'* she gives a satisfied sigh. Then she unpacks her trunk, rings for hot water and within an hour has the mirror covered with handkerchiefs pasted there to dry, and has hose, underwear, waists, etc., hanging over the back of every chair. Then she gets out her diary and notes in it how mucn money she has saved. “There are said to be some very historic places In this town," she notes afi.er detailing her wash, “but I will not have time tc see them."—Atchison Globe.

Fish That Carry Cawilrs. Some of the fish found at * depth of about ten thousand feet by a German deep sea expedition resembled the fossil species in the rocks of the Mesu^pic era, when the earth's ab mosphers was dense with carbon. These flab in many cases had special means of collecting light Some possessed enormous eye* occupying nearly the whole side of the head and some were supplied with telescopic organs Others carried their light on their heads in & manner similar to that of the glow worm.—Montreal Standard.

Origin of “Three Balls’’ Sign. The origin of the three balls In front of a pawnbroker's office, says the Nerw York World, was a corporation of Italian merchants, known as “Lombards," who established loan offices In France and England during the thirteenth century. Their “arms,'* or emWems, (or those of the Medici family, which was foremost In the corporation), were three god den balls. The present "three baH" sign is supposed to be derived from that.

Walnuts for Fighting Bulla. The United States Consul-General at the city of Mexico reports the ar- ) rival at Mexican * ports of several | Spanish ships, bringing in loads of i English walnuts. The nuts are being J distributed among ranches near Mexi- - co city for use exclusively In feedIng fighting bull*. The walnuts are supposed to put the animals on edge for ring encounters.—Washington Post.

VTHTT.E THE GLOVE 13 UP. Then No Man Cun Be Arrested Is This Enall'h Town. The nwalnt custom of. , 'proclr.iming the fair" at Honlton has just Leon observed. The town obtained the grant of a fair from the lerd of the manor so long ago as 1257, and the fair still retains some cf the pl-tur-esqi e characteristics of bygone days. The town crier, dressed in picturesque uniform and carrying a pole decorated with gay flowers and surmounted by a large gift model of a glo\ed band, publicly announces the opening of the fair as follows: “Oycz! Oyez! Oyez! The fair’s begun, the glove Is up. No man can be arrested till the glove Is taken down.” Hot coins are then thrown among the children. The pole and glove will remain displayed until the end of the fair.

Dodging Deutli. An inhabitant of the Indian city of Badaoa lost two wives in quick succession, and was about to contract a third marriage when he received the following mandate from the relations of the bride: “We are told that when a man has already lost two wives, his third also dies very soon. In order to satiety the angel of death you are requested to marry a doll, and thereafter come and marry our daughter, who should be your fourth wife and not your third.” The man did as he was told. He married the doll, then gave out that she was dead, buried her with great pomp, and proceeded to marry his fourth wife.

The Sky and the Weather. Weather clear or cloudy, a rosy sunset presages fine weather; a sickly looking greenish hue, wind and rain; a dark, or Indian red, rain; a red sky in the morning, bad weather or much wind, perhaps rain; a gray sky in the morning, fine weather; a high dawn, wind: a low dawn, fair weather. Remarkable dearness of atmospher near the horizon, diftant objects, such as hills, unusually visible or raised by refraction and what Is called a good "hearing day," may be mentioned among signs of wet, if not wind.

Paris Fortifications. The Municipal Council has not arrived at any agreement with the Etate on the question of fortifications. It Is very possible that this opportunity may be lost if the State, weary of not being able to come to an agreement, should sell to private individuals for the building of factories the lands which the city cannot bring itself to acquire to turn into gardens. This the Parisian elector ought to forbid and prevent at all costs.

Australians May Turn Black. Professor McMillan Brown, ethnologist, holds that the future Australian people will, in all probability be black. The Polynesians, he said in a lecture at Sydney, came originally not from America, as has been supposed, but from Asia. They were whites and changed color just as the future Australian may do as the centuries go on, at least in the tropical regions of the north. The violet rays of the sun will turn him black in course of time.

Early Marriages in Korea. Extremely early marriage seems to be tue fate of Korea’s rulers. The latest sensation in Seoul is that measures are being taken to find a consort for the Prince Imperial, although he is only 11 years of age. There is talk of the daughter of the present Prime Minister, but whether that Is by the desire of the Prime Minister himself or at the suggestion of Lady Cm seems to be uncertain.

It Is not generally known that a spoonful of ox.gall in one gallon of water will set the colors of almost any goods which are soaked in it before washlqg; also, that a teacupful of lye in a pail of water will improve the color of any black goods. Vine, gar in the rinsing water will bright, en pink or green calico, and soda will do the same tor purpla 4r blue calico.

Burdett’s “Owl Nest." George A. Burdett, the noted Boston composer and organist, and dean of the New England chapter of the American Organists' Guild, does all his work in a little room at the top of his house, which he calls “owl nest.’’ In which Is a piano and ail sorts of things calculated to appeal to the musically Inclined.

Cremation in the Alps. Cremation makes great headway in the Alps. Geneva takes the lead, both in point of number and equipment, hut Zurich, Aareu, Berne and Laus. anne are each building a second crematorium. Five other towns are doing 'Ikewise.

Defied Superstition. Defying superstition the Herald of Slatington, Pa., began publication as a weekly on Friday, September 13. The first copy wms taken from the press at 13 minutes before 5 o'clock, In tho presence of 17 witnesses.

The Oldest University. The oldest university In the world ‘.3 at Pekin. It is called the “School ’or the Sons of the Empire.” Its an--iqu'-ty is verv great, and a grand legleier, conalstiag of stone column^, 320 In number, contains the namee of 60,000 graduates.—Exchange _

SICUANS AND CALABRIANS. “Sicily,” according to a writer In the Pittsburg Gazette, “has always been a great and glorious country, and a great factor In the welfare of Italy.” and then, for the purpose, no dou >t. of bringing to a close the cui^ rent controversy over the relative merits of the different brands of Ital ans, he added, “All those qualities attr bated to Sicilians must instead be attributed (and so are in Italy and out of Italy) to that disgrace of Italy, the Calabrian Provinces, whose history has nothing to compare with the glorious past and present of Sicily." N ivertheless. neither the island nor the islanders, as a whole, have the best of reputations, in or out of Italy. It and they have not a little history, but we do not recall any of it, even In the early Greek days, that was particularly “glorious.” As for tho Calabrian Provinces, they are not close to Sicily or inhabited by mucn the same sort of people for nothing. In the one as in the other, there is a dreadful deal of surviving mediaevalism, and the passions turn easily and promptly to homicide.

FATHER ANGELO ON COURTSHIP. Not to hold hands; no saunterings In shady paths; no buggy rides; no close companionship on tue sofa; no saying good night again, soft and low, at the garden gate; the presence of parents in the parlor and the enforced departure of the young man at 10:30 sharp — alas for memories of Lover’s Lane, St. Joe, and that universal holding of hands which is a very good sign in the summer time. Is strict propriety to divest courtship of all its delights? Even in Puritan days John Alden was not so proper when he spoke for himself. To the Young Person who regulates the conduct of herself and her elders Father Angelo’s rules of courtship will seem unduly rigorous. Yet they form an excellent code where chaperonage is too generally resented and dispensed with as It is with us. The minimum age limit for marriage fixed by the priest will seem arbitrary, a man is better married than single long before ne is thirty, and to regard women under twentyfour as too immature for the responsibilities of domestic life is not to know the American girl.

SYMPATHY FOR LAWBREAKERS. When an old offender goes Into a police court and sees that the evidence against him is strong he is likely to call for a jury trial. There is always a chance that one or more of tue jurymen, aud perhaps ail of them, will sympathize with the prisoner Instead of seeking to protect the public by punishing him for his offense, sajsthe Chicago News. Indeed, it is no novelty for an acquittal to result from ths jury’s consideration of the evidence. In the criminal court also lack of regard for law is manifested by Juries at times in a way that startles the observer. Recently- a young man accused of burglary and said to have had a considerable amount of stolen Jewelry and a revolver on his person when arrested was acquitted oy a jury. The judge who hau heard the case promptly discharged the jurymen from further service because of their remarkable action in lue light of the evidence.

CONCRETE FOR BUILDING. The tendency of wood and brick to rise steadily in price and that of cement, th*> d n arest ingredient of concrete, to fall, point to an economy in this material which builders cannot fail to s»e. Just now complaints arc heard everywhere that men of moderate nears cannot afford houses even in i lie country, owing to it*» extracrlinary i sc in cost of labor and man .- sus. breaking ot concrete tor c -tti s an i vilius, the Country Calendar umari •: ’ It is Indeed somewhat, absurd to go on uaiL'g wood wheu it o> co ucur and requires fire insurance. As soon as the concrete villa becomes familiar to archltacti aad contractors the wooden bouse is likely to disappear from the countryside almost as quickly as It haa from the city, and that without the assistance of such a law against frame dwellings as the cities have caused to be enacted for their own protection.

DOG’S HAVING THEIR DAY. To “lead a dog's life” nowadays is to come In for canine experiences undreamed of by the makers of the defamatory proverb, says the New York World. There are Instances of <Jogs 1 articipating in social life. “Attired in his best bib an tucker,” and with all the ceremony attending a society event, a fox terrier belonging to Mrs. R. m! Wll'lams of Brooklyn received friends at a birthday party. Tony, the pet spaniel of Mrs. I. N. Phelps Stokes, followed his mistress to church at Sound Hill, Conn, “amid the smiles of those in the pews while the pastor paused.’’ At Wsterbury, Patrick Ryan, tramp and dog-lover, crushed by a train, said as he came to in the hospital: ''Haa anyone remembered to feed my little dog?” “The cat will mew and the dog will have his day.” And a large, full, eventful day It Is.

TELEPHONIC POSTAL SERVICE. Under the ruling of the authoritiee in Washington, published in the latest “Postal Guide,” postmasters are forbidden to answer inquiries by telephone in regard to mail matter In their offices. In small towns information has often been sought by such means about the arrival of letters and postal cards, and requests have been made that such communications should be read aloud for the benefit of the recipient

THE DEGENERATION OF p WASHINGTON GIVI NS Copyright, Puck By WARDON ALLAN CURTIS nee down there on the Panama VJ Canal, while I was boss on the La Ronda section, a muckraker by name of Washington Givins blew in and got to pokin' ’round in the cookhouse and seen me and our cook, old Bill Andrews, confabulatin’, and shad owed him and me on several private expeditions, with the result that he wrote an article, and it was a corker. You know you can’t keep men good natured 'less you feed ’em well, and they won’t work well If they're cross. And you c -.n't do general cooking without algb. You can beat up snow for a substitute some, but there ain’t any more snow In Panama than there is in— well, there ain’t any. There hadn’t been no aigs to speak of on the Canal for a number of months, and all the camps was kickin’ on grub. All but ourn. Old Bill Andrews, stfmehow, he had sponge-cake, custard, floatin’-ls-land, lemon-pie with frostin’ on it, and all such. Our fellers was happier and worked better’n any on the Ditch. But good things don’t alius last. One day I heard a big noise at noon, and there was all the boys crowded ’round headquarters with Tom Riley as spokesman. “Here!" says Tom. “This here low hound of a Givins has put a piece in his paper to the effect that cooking at La Ronda Is done or did with snake alga.” “That’s right, boys. No use keepin’ It from you. He sure tracked Bill and me while we was gatherin’ ’em. Them pancakes this niornln’ that tasted like them mother used to make was beat up with boa-constrictor aigs. That cream-puddin’ last night that would have done honor to Delmonico, or Tiffany, or any of them New York artists, was made of moccasin aigs; while that prime angel-food, light as a feather, was made—I won’t try to keep it from you—from the first batch laid by a likely pullet of the Fer de Lance tribe—most deadly serpent they is. Bill and I done the best we could for you.” “We know it, George,” said Tom. “\Ye ain't mad at you. but at Givins. What’d he want to tell for, the miserable cuss? But he’s made us dreadful uneasy. Feel queer in our innards. He uses a lot of scientific facts that make a feller apprehensive. He says races vary accordin’ to food. “Says he: ‘Adventurin’ out of the time-honored dietary of the race and eatln’ the serpent, not for an occasional relish, as we have eaten snails aud turtle, but for constant consumption, In fact, buildin’ the culinary economy upon It In one of its principal essentials, aigs, brings more than danger of serpentifleation. An aig,’ he says, ‘Is the animal in a compressed form, the essence, the compendium of all it will develop Into. Eatln’ snake aigs Is, therefore, worse than eatin’ snake meat. The unfortunate force of La Ronda, fed this long time on snake aigs, is gradually assoomin’ many of the mental and physical characteristics of snakes. It is unmistakable. All I ask is that the Government at Washington act.’ ” “All right," says I. “In my capacity of justlce-of-the-peace I’ll sentence Givins for two months on charge of defamation of character, and we’U feed him on snake aigs exclusive, and find out what’ll happen. If he becomes snakeifled, that’ll show he’s Innocent. If not, he’ll be guilty of knockin' the Canal, and so I reckon the courts would decide that was treason with the penalty of death. Put him in the calaboose, and in the meantime don’t git nervous.” I changed my mind on some things after thinking a little, but 1 put Givins In jail. That night something happened that made me and Bill Andrews as happy as a pair of bullfrogs. Next day we begun glvtn’ Givins his diet. At the end of the week Givins was •pending several hours daily doin’ contortions. End of two weeks, he’d curl up in the corner and lie perfectly stUl, eyee unblinkin'. End of ’nother w*<ek, we threw in a small rabbit, and banged if he didn’t manage to swallow It whole, and then he lay still for two days. Then I fetched In an ash bough and shook It at him, and he squirmed from one side of the cell to t’other. Spoke tor the first time *a * 'ong while. Says

he:

"If you are bound to kill me by forcin’ me to touch and Inhale this plant. I shall sell my life dearly A bite from me would not be pleasant.” I called in Bill Andrews. "Bill,” I says, “did or did not a tramp steamer come to port last week bringin’ two dozen hen-birds on tile for’ard deck?” “Yes,” says Bill. “We rowed out and bribed the watchman and stole ’em,” says L Then I swore Tom Riley and Jin: Heddies, and they deposed that they collected aigs from them hens every day, see ’em cooked, and personally fed ’em out to Givins. He was ihe most surprised feller you ever see. * "Ain’t I a snake?” said he, fiabbtrgasted, an’ beginnin’ t’ catch cn. “No,” says I. “You’re a Rhode Island Red.”

A MAN OF PARTS £ 1 pianissimo andantino

By GEORGE EDWARD STREETER Copyright, Tho Frank A. iiuiiiRy Company Charles Walnutt, by reason of his dwarfish stature, rather large head, j small body and tapering legs, 1 one of which was wooden, attracted a great deal of attention irom his fel-low-townsfolk; his peculiarities gave him a certain standing In the community. which he might never had possessed had he been regularly formed and built according to the general rule of his fellows. At an early age he went to the metropolis, and for a number of years he amused the patrons of the music hall, as a comic singing sailor, an exceedingly fierce soldier, as well as a totally Impossible and much too humorous patrolman. It was alike amusing and instructive to see the little man. dressed as a city cop, strutting up and down the concert hall platform, singing his own words under the caption of “Little Boy Blue.” Or, as a soldier. In his gray uniform, melodiously telling the story of the “Charge of the Light Brigade.” Or, yet again, as the brave sailor laddie, with the songs of the

sea.

When about forty years of age, he returned to his old home, as he thought, to a quiet life, but he became so much in demand by promoters of entertainments that he found himself almost as busy as before. Now Charlie Walnutt had a cousin, Lydia Hunt by name, a lady of about his own age, with considerable means, though somewhat of a drug In the matrimonial market. Miss Lydia very properly thought that even a small half-man Is better than no man at all, and so she made up her mind to become the wife of the singing comedian. As is always the case with the sex. she soon captured her prey, but expressly stipulated that if her future husband’s exuberant humor must find vent in the representation of short policemen, soldiers or sailors, such performances must be reserved for his own fireside. The condition weighed heavily on the mind of Mr. Walnutt. On the one hand, there was the lady with her Income, but the loss of his freedom; on the other, he viewed bachelorhood with the privileges and emoluments of the stage. Love triumphed, or, more properly speaking, Lydia won out, and she soon became Mrs. Walnutt, and Mr. Walnutt became—married, completely so. wooden leg and all. The diminutive Walnutt belonged to one of those secret societies (so convenient at times for married men), and he often assisted to promote harmony when the members met. He sometimes felt so good that he would forget his antemarriage promises, and on one occasion he went home singing, "When I Was on the Foaming Deep,” ending up with a hornpipe on his front steps. This caused his wife first to rage then cry, and finally threaten tba she would thrash him but for his smai: I size. Charles began to think that mar I rlage, after all, was a failure, and he | came to the cdnclusion that liberty as i a comic-song singer was worth all the | women In the world. There might be ; harmony at his meetings and in his | songs, but not much at home. S Soon after this incident, his wife went away on a visit to friends, and while there, her rebellious spouse once again appeared before the footlights, in accordance with the following avertJsement: Our esteemed townsman, Charles Walnutt will take the principal part in an entirely new farce, etc.,

etc.

His part in the play was to sit at the mast-head of a stage-ship, and be1 gin the Immortal song relative to the death of Nelson, then toward the end of the last verse turn a somersault and reach the deck on one leg, flourlahing a small sword. It was dramatic, and very well done the first two nights, but on the third occasion he slipped and broke his other leg. Upon learning of the accident, his wife came to his aid. and nursed what was left of the little man, remarking | sarcastically that he would probably let the comic-sailor business alone in the future, reminding him that everything funny haa its serious side. | Merely remarking that you “shouldn’t hit a man when he’s down ’’ he turned over and went to sleep. In discussing his caae afterward he said: “You see, I cannot dance with two wooden legs, like I could if they were Blade of rubber. There’s going to be a great future for rubber, and legless men may yet be able to get a good springy step.” The Truths (or Morals) Are; (1) —You cannot sink a submarine air-ship, or down a happy man. (2) --A level-headed man is better than one with both feet who cannot get there.” (3) —The laughs we create are all entered up to our credit. (I) A wife’s advice should be followed. especially when she supplies the daily bread. (5) —Brethren! Let ns all sing (6) —Rubber.

Mur.eey Com-iany He had often sat In the window opposlte, especially in the gray of th e day as the hot shadows ncltrd Into gloom about the tall forest of teneinenta. Both Eertha and May noted the pale beauty that marked the classic but shrunken features of their neigh, bor across the court. “Poor man,” said practical May, a s she prepared papers and puddings for the ftern requirements of Columbia’s modern domestic science cult, "ne looks quite ill." “Pauvre garron,” munr.ered Rertha, as she paused a moment in her interminable vocal gymnastics to rest throat and brain': "what a cruel story is written In every line of his face i wonder what has been his lif,-, and what sad fortune has brought him to this?” “Well,” answered her companion "I don’t know as he’s any worse of? than we are. Harlem flats are not a paradise for any one, especially in June. But we can all bear some inconvenience for the sake of our future." "Hark!’’ silenced Bertha. “He has his violin. He is playing.” Exquisite strains rippled and plashed from the musician's fingers. Bertha moved restlessly to the window The musician smiled as lie saw the intensity of appreciation on her expressive face. “He loves music; he Is an artist,” she murmered, “an artist!” Some day I, even I, will be an artist, too; for I love music as he loves it. And he ’’ Her thoughts melted Into formless dreams as night closed in, and her girlhood wove about her brow sweet chaplets of fame, set there by the hand of love. “Supper’s ready,” called a practical voice from the tiny inner kitchen, and the dreamer awoke to the realities of things. The tenement parlor was ablaze with light, and laughter mingled with music as the gay party of students made life miserable for those on the floor beneath. ’’It’s just no use, Lucy,” said Bertha to one of the guests as the evening waned; “you have refused to sing for us all winter, but you have Just got to sing for us tonight. We won't take no for an answer.” “Oh, Bertha, let me enjoy myself tonight ” A babel of voices drowned the girl's protests and she was forced to the piano. The first notes of Mascagni’s thread-bare and strangely touching Intermezzo stilled every other echo, for the singer’s heart beat ever close to her throat. Then Bertha crept as close as pos sible to the window that opened on the air shaft. Yes, there he sat—her musician— across the court, the dim light from his own window silhouetting him into in ethereal something that arr , ‘i'' , ’d to the girl because of its very vaugue-

ness.

“Oh, he hears her! He’s listening!" She scarcely breathed as ahe clasped h“r hands about her own throat "My musician!” she whispered. "My musician'” The following night Bertha sat at her window, too unhappy to study, to read, or even to practice at the scales which were her ladders to the coveted heights of fame. The noises below were dying down, the call of the Italian fruit vendors, the quarreling of the swarming chll dren, the shrill exchange of gossip from window to window—all vets gradually hushed. She saw her muslrian come to his lighted window. Under his arm he carried his violin, and smiled at her with rare understanding as he raised his instrument and swept into the first bars of the Intermezzo. Bertha understood. Such anguish, such love, such responsive pathos never before thrilled her The musician ceased playing, and In a voice whose every tone breathed adoration, he said: "Sing it again, please." In an Instant Bertha understood and with anguish in her heart and a strange feeling that she was putting the whole world behind her, she answered : ”1 cannot.
