BUTTERFLY EGGS
Their Marvelous Beauty as Shown by
the Microscope
The traveler In the far East passin
through stone doorways scrolled ana
carved with Arabesque fretwork eni
ters the eastern quarter of old Cairo
The streets are dingy and narrow bu
here rise the wonderful domes of th
famous mosques Tombs of the Mam
elukes exquisite in all grace and fan
tasy of shape and color The fretted
sides a fine and delicate lacework of
stone the marvelous and shining play J
of light on beautiful tints seem like a
very dream of art
But enter the woods that stretch all
about us and use the microscope that
enlarges our vision andlo a most won
derful thing has come to pass Winged
beings far more beautiful than the
genii of the Arabian Nights have
been here and on the under- side of a
common leaf in size no larger than a
pins head are structures that fairly
rival the mosques of Cairo in wealth
of decoration and loveliness of color
the butterfly eggs They are many of
them dome shaped like the mosques
and covered with a rich network so
filmy that it glitters in the sun like a
diamond dew but each of the lines in a
rib buttressing the whole structure
Other eggs are shaped like tiaras or tur
bans and others still are like sea-urchins
Some are shaped like pyramids
and all lead up in their decorations to a
minute rosette at the top sometimes
d3ply indented through whose open
ings life is received in the egg
The patterns are often as regular as
any circular rose window of a Gothic
cathedral and the colors of the egg
beginning with a pale green the safest
of all colors in the green wood or
white like many tree blossoms change
afterward as the dweller inside devel
ops into all kinds of brilliant and shin
ing hues from salmon to orange These
eggs are sometimes found single some
times in regular rows one on top of the
other or strung together like a neck
lace of beads or girdling a twig like
a fairy ring
There are insects not butterflies
that lay eggs in almost Incredible num
bers say a trillion in a season These
are soft and perishable and of short
life Where an insects ejgs have to
stand the winters cold they are usu
ally covered or packed in a kind of ce
ment If you look at these mere specks
through a microscope you will see ex
quisite shells clustered like gems or
rolled in tubes or convoluted in spirals
and circles
Many eggs are doubly protected be
cause they are so fragile and are
placed in still another shelter as the
eggs of the birds pale blue or speckled
or pearly white in close woven nests
or the eggs of certain spiders in silky
bells of golden yellow or purest white
hung among the blossoms Yet it is
more common to find insect eggs bare
and exposed to view One day I saw
what had seemed dust grow under a
microscope into crystal eggs on which
insect forms appeared to be sharply
etched as seen through the transparent
case Then out skipped some lively
black eyed wood folk independent and
alert ready for a meal They seemed
fully grown at birth Philadelphia
Times
The Philippine Character
After years of study of the native
character I have come to the conclu
sion that the Philippine islander is very
matter-of-fact He is not unwilling but
unable conscientiously to accept an ab
stract theory Christianity with its
mysteries has therefore no effect on his
character but he becomes accustomed
to do that which his forefathers were
coerced to do namely to accept the
outward and visible signs without be
ing imbued by the Inward and spiritual
grace The mere discipline the fact
that nolens volens they must at a
given hour on a given day appear
dressed m their best and to attend the
church and in the case of headmen go
to the monks residence to kiss hands
has certainly had the effect of taming
the masses into orderly beings Yet re
straint of any kind is repugnant to him
He likes to be as free as a bird but he
Is of a pliant nature and easily man
aged with just treatment He is ex
tremely sensitive to injustice If he
knows in his own mind that he has
done wrong he will submit to a thrash
ing without any thought of taking re
venge If he were punrshed out of mere
caprice or with palpable injustice he
would always have a lurking desire to
give quid pro quo He has an innate
contempt for cowards hence his dis
dain for Chinese but will follow a
brave leader anywhere and will never
be the first to yield to hunger fatigue
or possible chances of death He takes
every trouble with profound resigna
tion he promises everything and per
forms little his word is not worth a
straw and he does not feel that lying
i
is a sin He is inconstant in the ex
treme and loyal so long as it suits him
j but as a subject he can be easily mold
ed Into any fashion which a just hon
est and merciful government would
wish
Floor of Knuckle Bones
A remarkable discovery has just been
made at the village of Orton Longue
viUe near Peterborough Several
workmen were engaged in excavating
work under some old and dilapidated
outbuildings on a farm when they
came across a well made floor about
six feet below the level On a minute
examination being made they found
that the floor was entirely constructed
of knuckle bones supposed to be those
of sheep and cattle It is estimated
that the singular work is at least 150
years old

Dr von Rokitansky of Gratz who
has just died was a son of the cele
brated Yieunese professor Itokitansky
The latter had four sons of whom two
devoted themselves to medicine while
the other two became singers and the
old man ilsed to say when asked what
their professions were Zwei heulen
und zwei heilen Two are howlers
and two are healers
The late Professor Cohn the famous
botanist of Breslau thus opened his

chief constituents of iriants are Car

four letters with apparent carelessness
on the blackboard COHN he smiled
observing It is clear I ought to know
something about botany
W S Gilbert the English dramatist
was lunching not long ago at a country
hotel when he found himself in com
pany with three cycling clergymen by
whom he was drawn into conversation
When they discovered who he was one
of the party asked Mr Gilbert how he
felt in such a grave and reverend
company I feel said Mr Gilbert
like a lion in a den of Daniels
Dr Evans a member of Parliament
at Melbourne was an old man and the
other members jokingly spoke of him
as belonging to the era of Queen Anne
Once while making a speech he re
ferred to Queen Anne and was greeted
with cries of Did you know her
What was she like Yes sir re
torted the doctor I did know her The
scholar is contemporary with all time

When the Duke of Wellington was co
operating with the Spanish army in the
Peninsula against Napoleon he was
desirous on one occasion during a gen
eral engagement that the general com
manding the Spanish contingent should
execute a certain movement on the
field He communicated the wish to
the Spaniard personally and was some
what taken aback to be told that the
honor of the king of Spain and his
army would compel a refusal of the re
quest unless Wellington as a foreign
officer graciously permitted to exist
and fight on Spanish soil should pre
sent the petition on his knees The old
duke oftenr used to tell the story after

A number of years ago Schley was in
command of one of the old navy ships
that was fitting out at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard for a foreign cruise A few
days before Schleys ship was to sail
a big party of Brooklyn Sundaj school
teachers visited the ship in a body The
crew were engaged in stowing and
breaking out stores On the main deck
stood a big hogshead packed full of
beer bottles that had been emptied
As the bottles stuck out of the packing
straw 4here was no way of telling
whether they were filled or empty The
Sunday school teachers held a confer
ence over that hogshead and deter
mined to send an emissary to the skip
per about It Schley received the emis
sary in his cabin Sir said the mes
senger it is regrettable to obserye the
huge quantity of liquid intoxicants
your vessel is receiving1 flows
that Schley inquired The emissary
told about the enormous hogshead filled
with beer bottles It is simply shock
ing exclaimed Schley Ill attend to
the matter at once Bosuns mate
called out Schley as soon as he reached
the main deck send me a few hands at
once The hands were aft instantly
Rig a tackle and dump that hogshead
over the side ordered Schley The
sailors grinned but in a jiffy they had
the f6gshead over tlie side and at the
bottom The Sunday school teachers
looked on approvingly and when the
hogshead had disappeared they flocked
aronnd Schley and told him whata fine
noble example he was setting Schley
took it all with becoming modesty For
the fun he had out of it he paid a couple
of dollars into the ward room mess for
the loss of the empty bottles which
should have been returned to tha
bottler

SLY SCHLEY
How He Fared When He Disregarded
Farraguta Order
Schley was commander of a gunboat
under Farragut during the civil war
and there is a story being told which
speaks better for the present commo
dores admirable fighting qualities than
for his acquiescence in discipline He
was summoned one morning by the
great naval hero of his day who pre
faced his order by asking Schley if he
saw that Confederate fort Of course
Schley saw it for the fort was one of
the most conspicuous and most studied
objects within the whole range of
vision
Go knock it to pieces was Farra
guts terse and comprehensive com
mand
Schley was making the dirt and
stones fly as per order when his quar
termaster rushed to him excitedly
stating that the admiral had signaled
to stop firing and return to the fleet
To h 1 with the signal answered
Schley who was in a position to see
that he had victory within reach I
wont see it And he hammered away
till nothing but ruins marked the site
of the fort
Farragut was very angry or at leasi
gave a perfect imitation of a man
wrought to a high pitch of wrath He
sent for Schley at once and before all
the officers of the flagship gave him a
fierce raking down for not obeying the
recall signal
I didnt see it protested Schley
with a look that innocence could not
have improved upon
You must have shut the eye yot
put your glass to said Farragut and
there was another installment of the
raking down process Then the sten
old admiral took the disobedient com
inander into the secret quietude of the
cabin threw an arm about his shoul
ders and gave him a long drink of the
best liquor aboard Discipline had beer

To Polish or Glnze Xiuen
After the linen lias been carefully
atarched have ready at hand a basin
of cold water clean covered ironing
board a piece of soft rag and a well
heated polishing iron To poljsh col
lars take one at a time place it flat
on the board dip the clean rag Into
the cold water and then lightly wet
the surface of the collar On no ac
count must it be made too wet or it
will blister and be careful that no
drops of water fall on it Hold the col
lar in position with the left hand and
run the polishing iron up and down It
with the right At first the linen will
have a streaky appearance but the
smoothing must be continued until the
surface is glossed all over Different
kinds of glazes are to be had for polish
ing linen which are used instead of th
polishing iron but they do not give
such a high gloss and are sometimes
injurious to the linen v
Small Kitchen
By all means have a small kitchen
writes Mrs S T Rorer in reply to an
Inquiry in the Ladies Journal
A large kitchen with a cellar door at
one side a table at another a range at
another and the sink at still another
Requires too much walking Time la
Consumed in going from one place to
another rather than with actual work
Have your range placed in a light and
convenient part of the kitchen In front
have a good sized table containing
flrawers and spaces underneath fo
keeping utensils one portion of the top
covered with zinc and the other half
left plain Have underneath the top
a baking board which you can easily
pull out The sink should he near at
hand The pantry may be on the othe
side of the kitchen and be sufficiently
large to hold a barrel of flour a smali
pastry table and a convenient arrange
ment for shelves
Hints
Breakfast bacon is said to be almost
a cure for dyspepsia and is one of the
best things a dyspeptic can eat
For stings and poisons a strong solu
tion of saleratus and water immediate
ly and frequently applied give relief
and sure cure
We hope that mothers will remember
fliat good brandy is a cure for summer
complaint in bad cases a teaspoonful
three or four times a day
Oil stains may be removed from wall
paper by applying for four hours pow
dered pipe clay mixed with water to
the thickness of cream
For earache roast a small onion uatli
soft dip it In sweet oil and insert In
the ear When the pain is relieved take
out the onion and put raw cotton in
To cure a felon take a lump of com
mon rock salt dry It in the oven pul
verize it moisten with turpentine
spread on a cloth and wrap the finger
in it
A flannel cloth wot in hot brandy or
better camphor and brandy mixed and
heated will relieve the pain of bowel
if frequently laid over the stomach and
bowels
