erty collectors ere seldom a Mo I mate with any confidence the fhw of their collections, since the J^rtcos 'for specimens so constantly wsi'i. A case in point Is that of the Mae butterfly of Brazil, specimens of which were originally sold for from IfM to $75. Not long ago some collectors who supplied the London marSur.t ran Into a perfect swarm of these Butterflies and shipped to England Anch quantities that better specltoons than the original insects are sold tor $1 each. It not infrequently happens that two or three specimens of a certain family ttre discovered by collectors, who, encouraged by the high prices received Iter their finds, are tempted to prose- | cute their search for this particular variety without results for several ye*rs. 'Suddenly they or some other collectors find the insects grown plentiful. and the cherished varieties of the cabinet become among the commonest specimens. Parish Clerk's Record. The Yarmouth (Eng.) Parish Mag& sine claims that Mr. E. J. I-upson, the parish clerk in that town, has a record unparalleled in the Church of England. Appointed forty-two years ago, 8*e? has served under seven vicars, and :dno* 1863 has been absent from Yarmouth only once in 2,162 Sundays, while temporary indisposition has prevented the performance of his duty in the parish church on but three other occasions. He has attended T1.D42 marriages, and has "given away" the bride on 1,264 occasions. These marriages were solemnized by 218 different clergymen. Mr. Lunson attill performs his duties with all the alertness of a man twenty years Y*>m\?er. STRONG PROOF. .Taggles?How do you know you talked sensibly to your wife?

The Imperial archers have existed tip to the time the royal edict put them out ol business about a month apo. The emperor's decree is as follows: "Our dynasty was established by means of the bow and arrow and the art is still therefore kept up in the examination of officials and the drilling; of troops. Irately, however, military science has Improved and weapons are being; modernized every day and wo must iml tate the mnrtlal spirit of our ancestors by uslnp our best endeavors to es tablish a strong; government. Hereafter the princes, dukes and ministers of the eight banners must all earnestly practice military art and attain the utmost proficiency, which will leave no time for the observance of mere forms, and we order all officials in future not to carry the bow and arrow when they attend stato ceremonies, I nor are imperial bodyguards or the .

I^et the board of war draw up the necessary regulations for the prop er testing of military efficiency for the soldiers and let the said board report thereon." Feet Clad in Sandals.

"I am one of the few tourists," he said, "who ever saw the sea oiled in a storm. I'll tell you how they did it. "The oil was stored in big zinc tanks, where it served as ballast. It only cost a cent or so a gallon, for it was refuse, a mixture of whale oil. vegetable oil and petroleum. "When the hurricane struck us and the ship was like to founder in the surging, boiling foam the captaiu turned a valve and through sluices on either side of the ship some fifty or sixty gallons of oil flowed out upon the sea. "The effect was like magic. The oil made a prismatic skin over the water on all sides. The foam disappeared. We floated in a millpond about 200 yards square and without this dark calm millpond roared the white sea. "It only took about two minutes for all this to happen. "Wo sailed onward. The rocking ceased. The seasick heaved sighs of relief. For a half hour the oil stayed with us. a solid skin of beautiful hues. Then it broke up and sailed away in patches of every size. "The storm raged two hours. We oiled the sea four times. It was an odd experience." Money makes a good figure in the dress-makers it hires for it. PASSING OF PORRIDGE.
