Buch a farm was Inaugurated a
few years ago at Bcxley, Kent, Eng
land, by L. W. Newman, F. E, 8,, and
the venture haa proved a great suc
cess. The farm consists of three
quarters of an acre of garden and
allotment around his nous and half
an acre in a secluded corner of a
wood. Inclosed with wire netting. It
was In the wood I found him, busily
ens;aged with one of hlB two assist
ants in the task of spring cleaning.
Here was a cage of wood and per
forated zinc built around a growing
tree, which, Mr. Newman informed
me. contained five hundred specimens
of the red-beltd clear-wing caterpil
lar; and close by was another cane
a huge structure Inclosing no fewer
thnn seven birch trees and measuring
11 feet by 11 feet round the sides and
12 feet high In which were about
one thousand Insects of different
l:lnds. Other trees bore smaller cages
of different sizes and shapes, each
boiling a swarm of precious stock,
nr.d so contrli ed that they co.l-i
filled on to any branch, thus enabling
them to he moved about the wood-l.'-ndg

Around his house Mr. Newman
crrtws a nMitley crop of fodder plants
for his hungry ?tock. and he has three

in'onncd, about, ten thousand caterpll

The larvae were In cages planted
with dead nettle, and containing mote
than three thousand caterpillars of
the handsome scarlet tiger, and otlur

Throughout the nsf.t'hNhment there
are at the prcs nt Hue more thi n
forty thousand living caterpillar,
about 120 newly emenjed mo'hs and
butterflies, and as it is now the tall-
end of the season for pupae, only
about seven thousand chrysalides. In
June there will bo three times tho
present quantity of living Block.
The dead stock numbers about
100,000 set Insects; every one of which
has Ita price, ranging from Id. to
5, 7 and even more for rare varie
ties. In the same manner aa orchid
growers, Mr. Newman sends his ns
Bistanta far away on speculative
forays, though never outside Britain.
He haa a man now hunting for a fort-,

butterflies.
Origin of Boycott.
Boycotting Is a Bpectes of conspir
acy named after one of Its conspicu
ous victims. Captain Boycott, an Eng
lishman, who was agent of Lord Erne,
of the district of Connemara, Ireland.'
As agent he served notice to quit on
the tenants, who retaliated by Induc
ing the population for miles, around
to refuse to have anything to do with
him. His scrvanta loft Armed con
stables were called In to protect him
and thoee who came to take the
places of former tenants and servants
from violence at the hands of the sur
rounding population. The term, there
fore, originally signified a conpUcy
to ruin the business of a person by
violent Interruption of bis relations
with others. It has been defined by
an American Judge aa "a combina
tion of many to cause a loss to one
person by coercing others against
their will to withdraw from bim their
beneficial business Intercourse,
through threats that unless those
others do so. the 'many will cause
similar loss to them." A boycott, even
when unaccompanied by violence or
intimidation, has been pronounced un
lawful by many courts; when accom
panied by violence, it Is a criminal
offense at common law.

long. In the s-..ie ruins with the tob

which were used by their readeta.
The writing was done (while the tab

That the stripping of trSea frera a

ac4.u. nt by a traveler. In the Interior,
of China: "KanBU Is the, poarestof
all the provinces of China , and ths
most inaccessible by reason of its de
te stive cojimunlcations. .Devastated
by Mahometan Insurrectiqn in the
years from 1861 to 1878. it has never
recovered from the ravages to which
it was then subjected. The ruins

traveler with a sense of the horror
of Insurrection In China. Inaurrao
Uon mean a extermination of the vaor
quiahed no quarter to old or young,
to man or woman. Loss of life during
the great Insurrection amounted fa

was appalling.
"The province now needs repco

cations the work is difficult It Is a
treeless province. There has been
universal destruction of timber. Even
the fine avenue of willows and pop

affecting the climate.

Dr. Plgou, the dean of Bristol, has
for long had the reputation of being
one of .the brightest humorists )a ths
church. - . , .
. One of hia stories turns upon the
deceased wife's sister. It appears
that a vicar of Dr. Plgou's acquaintance,-
had, in Ignorance, solemnized
such a marriage, and he Interviewed
the old verger whose business It was
to look after such things.
' "Yes, yes," exclaimed the old man,
"I knowed the parties. I knowed
them."
"Then, why In the world didn't you
toll, ,meT"" exclaimed, the" vicar!
. ."Well, vicar. It was this Vay. you

Why She Brought It Up.
"Do you remember," she asked,
"that you said once that unlesa I
promised to be yours the sun would

"I don't remember it now, but I
suppose I may have said something
of the kind. ' ' ;
"And have you forgotten that yon
