There are certain disagreeable people in
this world who seem to take a special de-
light in annoying others by reminding
them of things they would willingly for

turing their fellow-1nen for the sake of tor
ture.
Has man met with misfortune III his
business, they are forever recalling the
fact. Has a man in times that are gone,
wandered into devious paths, they are for
ever reminding him Of it, often by con-
graduating him that that is past. Has a
man blundered, they are forever telling

A Drunken HDeers

Man is reproached Or commended, ac-
cording to taste, as the only animal that
gets drunk. But how about the deer? It
is stated by an authority that the deer-at
any rate, the French deer-for all his
amiable qualities, ''i1'en est pas moins

this time of the year. He then 'sthrows

on the road to the village of Queue-en-Brie.
The peasant, delighted at the godsend,
tied the deer's legs together with hand
kerchief, and, having hoisted the animal
on his shoulders, prepared to carry him
off. The deer, reused from his drunken
sleep by this treatment, became SO trou-

Nevada newspapers announce that vast
numbers OF grasshopper eggs ara incubat-
ing in Sierra Valley. A spadeful of soil
is represented to have contained hun
dreds of thousands Of eggs deposited in
clusters, The farmers have not turned
furrow this spring, knowing that with
these pests in the soil their work would be
frllitless of result. Grain crops will only
foster the scourge, while TO let the ground
remain idle may starve the insects into
emigrating. Fears are expressed that
they may sweep down upon the fertile
valleys of California, but whether they
can cross mountains of such altitude as
the Sierras is doubtful. It is proposed to
dig trenches before they are able to fly,
and driving them in, to cover them up.
The plan worked successfully in Utah two
years ago.

It is freely stated in London society that
Dean Stanley, who recently visited this
country, is about to join the Church Of
Rome. His sister, who was converted
many years ago, has since the death of
his wife assumed great sway over his
mind, and has turned it toward the study
Of Roman Catholicism, especially as enun-
ciated in the works of FeneIon. The
Dean has frequently refused Il Bishopric,
and has set himself up as the supporter,
if not the actual champion, Of all who
have proclaimed themselves opponents Of
the Anglican Church, as Bishop Colenso,
DR.. Vaysey, and John Stuart Mill. Even
Bradlaugh nas been shielded by the Deans

A Plea for Plainness.

The old maxim about reading much
but not many things in order to become
wise, might be applied also to eating,
since in physical as well as in mental
food the best results are from simplicity
and not from variety. The best guaran-
ty of health makes good square meal of
simply cooked and nourishing food with
out craving for multiplicity Of rich and
rare cakes and sweetmeats, pies and rel
ishes. Pinching economy reduces the
an angel of health in disguise; but in
prosperous families the bill of fare gener-
ally shows an extraordinary growth and
needs more pruning than it ever gets. 1t
the family are agreed in their tastes, there
need be but few dishes upon the table at
any meal though there should be a judic-
ious exchange, or rotation of dishes from
meal to meal. The advantages ofplain liv-
ing are numerous. The best authorities
agree that it is the most healthful. It
greatly reduces the work in the kitchen
and enables the housewife to devote part
of her time to something better. It re-
duces the cost Of living, and this in these
times is an item worth considering.
Plain living, too, serves as a corrective,
or, rather, a preventive, in the young, of
the unnatural cravings which in after
life seek qualification in dangerous slim
ulants. Mothers would surely shudder
if they could only see what those appe-
titles they SO sedulously cultivate IN their
children with which any spicy dainties
are no longer at hand or have lost their
relish. Habits Of plain living formed in
youth are sometimes abandoned in after
life, but it is certain such habits never fit
comfortably unless they are formed in
youth. Enforced in middle life as a
necessity, they are Of little avail in re-
storing health or fortune, and are submit
ted to as heavy burdens to be dropped at
the earliest opportunity.

The sealing idea Irrespective of plur-

may be interpreted the carnal and poly
