We would call the attention of the C. Y. P. R. U. to Mrs. Helen Conant's admirable article on "Catching Butterflies." Not only does it contain clear and simple directions for making a collection of these beautiful insects, but much is to be learned from it of their various characteristics and habits. There is a most interesting article on travel by Lieutenant E. W. Sturdy, entitled "Tom Fairweather goes to Bassorah, the Home of Sindbad the Sailor." The boys and girls both may learn a valuable lesson of presence of mind and heroism from the little incident told under the title of "A Brave Boy."
