Cy iiifiins of a Inrpo ttntnher of ob prviitioiiM' Mr. ,T. W. Tntt is able to Confirm wlint lilts been (tinted by other olwrrvers tlmt certniii butterflies nnd moths are very much addicted to drink. In tl purer published ill tho "proceed Inns" of tint Smith London Enttitnoltig Itnl and Nnturnl History society Mr. luU my thera can be 110 doubt t lint butterflies drink more than Is required by tlit'ii tissnes under any possible con ditions. Ho bns known Polynminittns dutiitiii to nit fur more tlititt mi hour mo tionless except for tho slight movement of sucking up nnd discharging the moisture utmost continuously. What this Internal tmth limy really mean cannot be surmised. Another Im portant fnctor its to this drinking linbit is a strait 0110, the "tnirsty sonls," as fur ns his observation goes, being al most entirely males. Possibly if exact observations could bo made it might be fonnd that females in small numbers also visit puddlos, pools nnd strt'tiins for drinking purposes, bnt as far ns Mr TtUtt bus been able to discover it is tho mules alone who indulge ir. these copi ous libations, while the females tiro awsy laying eggs. Moths and bnttor flies of both sexes visit sngnr, overripe fruit and similnr dainties, but they do so for food. Tint males alone seem to be attracted by pure water, and Mr. Tntt snggests that, their extra activity hav ing originally given them greater need in this direction, a hnliit which was at first a necessity litis become so pleasar able thut excessive drinking has literal ly become a vice. MUSIC FROM HEAVEN. Charming Oerintn Method of Summoning urch Worshipers. Whilo religious musio will doubtless live ns long 11s religion Itself there Is one branch of it if musio it call be called whirh Is luckily becoming ob sohle. I refer to bells and chimes. I slnill liever forget -the look of distress with which n famous organist once said to me thnt wheuever he heard a set of chives he wished he could pat his ears iu his pocket In these days of $1 nickel watches bellB are no longer noeded to in form people when the service begins. They are, moreover, a decided nuisance, aud often a dungeroas one, for they have killed many invalids whose life depend ed upon a few hours' sleep, which the bells murdered. In New York bell ring ing has been frequently stopped on ac count of complaints to the board of health If It seems desirable to have a means of summoning worshipers to church, why not adopt the delightful old custom that la still observed in some south Gor man villages aud in the city of Stutt gart? There four trombone players r.a ooud church tower three times a day ma piay a solemn chorale. Iu all my musical experience I have never beard anything more thrilling than those tnajestio hariuouioa iu the air, which seemed to com straight from heaven If onr churches would 4Wlopt this custom aud these celestial omuls became associated with religious vxperiences, ttoey mlgnt arouse the dor mant devotion of many a oue who other wise would pass the church door by.

"When yon bring things in hore, Swenson," said she, "use the tray. It is not proper to bring them iu your bauds." "Yaos," he replied. Mrs, H. Park had a new toy terrier. The guests wished to see it, and she sent for Swenson to fetch it Soon there wus a succession of stac cato yelps and whines. The door open ed, a very red faoed Swenson appeared with the silver tray in his lefthaudaud a tiny dog terrier held firmly dowa on it with the other. London Globe. Aa Old Friend. A gentleman, while traveling on a certain railway, got out at a station where the Wain stopped for a few min utes and entered the refreshment room. His eyes resting on a basket containing buns, he snddeuly burst into tears. The sympathetic attendant goutly asked him what was the matter and elicited the following tonuhiug explanation; "Pray exouso my emotion. Two years ago I was traveling ou this lino on my honeymoon. My wife oama into rliia rf reshiuout room und scratched our ini tials ou a bun which I see in this bas ket. I beg yqu to lot me have it as a tender souvenir. Here is half a dollar. " New York Ledger.

There are fow peoplo, we think, who thoroughly realize the value of water as a beverage or who know how to ob tain the greatest advnntnge from lt. The effects ptodtioed by tho drinking of water, as printed nut by onr excellent contemporary, Health, vary with tho manlier in which it is drunk. If, for instnnee, n pint of rold m titer bo swal lowed as n litrn draft, or if It bo taken In two portions with a short Interval between, certain definite results follow effects which differ from those which would have resulted from tho sumo qnnutity taken by sipping. Kipping Is n powerful stimulant to the circulation, a thing whirh ordinary drinking Is not. During the nrt of sipping the action of tho nervo which shows the beats of tho heart is abolished, and as a conse quence thut organ contracts much moro rnplrtly, the pulse beats mere quickly mid tho circulation in vorieus parts of the body Ih increased. In nddition to this, we And thnt the pressure under which tho bile is secreted is raised by the sipping of fluid. And here is a point which might well be noted by onr read ers; A glass of cold water, slowly nipped, will produce greater acceleration of the pulse for a time than will a glass of wine or spirits taken nt a draft. In this connection it may not bo nut of place to mention that sipping cold water will often allay the craving for alcohol in those who have been in the linbit of tak ing too much of lt nnd who may be en denvoring to reform, the effect boing probably due to the stimulant action of the sipphtg. A Perfrnt Performance. .At a variety entertninmeut given iu aid of a pop;ilur institution one of tho "tnrus" wus a vetitrilrqubtt. As this gentleman was recognized ns one of tiie cleverest memliers of his profession, his nppenrnuco was looked forward to with much interest. At last it came. The stage attendants carried ou to the stage three dressed figures, sentud in chairs, as nsual. The professor followed aud then went through an astonishing perform ance. No oue conld detect a muscle of bis face move during tho laughable dia logues, aud the changes of voioe seemed marvelous. Ou retiring tho applause was deafen ing, and the ventriloquist hod to return again and ugaiu to thnuk the audience for their appreciation. A couple of min utes or so after, when t bo audience were talking among themselves as to how it was done, they were tbnnderstruok to see the threo figures get np from the chairs aud walk off the stage also, but on realizing how completely tbey had been "sold" the laughter was nprouri- ! ous.
