than they do from the year-long resi- 
dence among rural sights and sounds. 
It must he this circumstance that ex- 
plains the fact that collectors of insects 
swarm in nearly all our large manufac- 
turing towns, and do not exist in small 
country villages. The artisan from the 
town likes to bring back from the country 
some tangible reminiscence of it, and, as 
flowers soon fade, insects are frequently 
taken up as peculiarly fitted by their 
easy preservation and bright colouring 
to remind him of his pleasant “day in 
the country,” and when once a single in- 
dividual has started on this career others 
soon imitate him, a competition ensues, 
and before long a collection of insects 
makes its appearance, and is shown with 
pride by the gude wife, with the assu- 
rance that her husband “found ’em all 
hisself.”
