Ned was a bright little fellow, always asking questions and keeping his eyes open whenever in the city, or visiting his dear old grandma in the country. he wanted to walk with me down to the brook. "Well, my little man, he is eating worms,' he is eating worms," said Ned; "they might his dinner now; don't you see how sting you." he puts his head way down in the flower? He has what is called a ligula, which is the Latin for a long tongue, with which he draws up the honey into his body and so eats his dinner." "How funny that is, Uncle Charlie," said Ned. "Now," I said, "I will to catch him for you, but boy." "No, my boy, it is impossible for this caterpillar to sting you, but it will push out from its head a pair of yellow horns, also sending forth a disagreeable odor; and thus it frightens other insects away from it." the fly lays an egg on the parsley and "Now," I said, "the lady butterOn last Fourth of July we were carrot tops, and about the first of all at grandma's to enjoy her chicken try July, from the shell of the egg out pot-pie and dumplings, and after you pops a tiny worm, about the tenth Ned had tired of his fire-crackers must be very still, like a good of an inch long.

I thought Ned which takes about two weeks, it would go wild with delight. eats for a day or two longer, and finally crawls to a fence or a tree, and attaches itself to it by a loop of silk of its own weaving. The loop is in the form of the letter U, with the two ends fastened to the fence or tree, while in the other portion the caterpillar rests as if in a cradle, and also fastens that portion of the body which we call the anal portion, but which for the present you and I will call the tail. Well, after it has done this, the caterpillar's skin splits and comes off, and we see him in a different form, called the chrysalis, or pupa. Before going, we went into the garden to get some cherries from grandma's "best tree," as she called it. I went up the ladder and left Ned to hold the basket for me at the foot of the tree, as he was a little bit too young to venture up himself. Just as I had picked a nice ripe bunch of cherries, Ned, who had been on the lookout for who had been on the lookout for pretty things, as usual, called : "Oh, Uncle Charlie, see there! what a pretty butterfly!" and sure enough there was one on a thistle blossom. Ned wanted to catch it at once, but I told him he had better wait until I came down from the tree and I would try to catch it for him. and tell him all about the beautiful little fairy. He clapped his hands with glee at the thought of knowing more about the little creature. "Now tell me more about him, won't you, Uncle Charlie? But why do you call it him?" he asked. "Because," I said, "do you see all these bright yellow spots in a row on both of his black wings? Well, all the gentleman butterflies have more beautiful coats than the ladies. The lady butterflies of this species look almost the same as the gentlemen, but haven't as many of the bright buttons or yellow spots on their wings." "What do you call him and where does he come from?" asked Ned. "Now in this form it seems to be dead, and remains fastened to "Now," said I, "his big name the fence or tree all through the is Papilio Asterias, or swallow- long, cold winter, until spring, tail butterfly, which we had better when, as soon as the warm sun call him until we know him better, begins to shine, and the parsley to and then you can address him by grow again, the skin or house that his big name.
