"Two thousand cabbage butterflies have been captured by Huntingdon
school-children, but more stern measures for their capture must be
introduced."--_Evening Paper_.
In order to capture the cabbage butterfly the first thing to do is to
interest the creature by giving it a cabbage-leaf to play with. Then
take the kitchen-chopper in the right hand, lift it high and bring it
down with a crash on the third vertebra. Few butterflies repeat any
offence after this is severed.
