ENGLISH statesmen readily admit
that without her vast shipping inter-
ests, England would rapidly sink to
the rank of second or third rate
power. If, with no shipping inter.
ests worthy the name, this country
can compete with England in manu-,
factures and commercial intercourse
with the marts of the world, what
must be the relative positions of the
two countries when we shall be able
to protect our ship owners from legal
robbery and unjust discrimination ?

Insects Injurious to Crops.

Prof. Inter, New York State Ento-
mologist, says There are more insects
than all the other classes of animated
nature onbined-estimated at half a
million in all the world, and at least 80,
900 in the United States. Only small
part of these are positively injurious to
man and domestic snimals Yet the en-
tomologist cannot confine his attention
to the species known as injurious, on
even to those of his own country. Not
a year passes without some new injurious
insect presenting Itself for special study,
either from a change in food plant, such
an increase in number as to make it in
furious for the first time, or by importa-
ton from abroad-usually from Europe.
Thus, within the last two years, no less
than five injurious species had been
added to our list of clover pests. The
professor speaks of three species, two OF
which have been brought to notice the
present and the third last year The
first was the one which was so destruct-
i've to the pastures in the northern coun-
ties of our State last spring, which was
supposed by many at the time to- be the
army worm, but by rearing it has been
found TO belong to a small plain crambus
moth, to which the common name of the
vagabond crambus' has been given
The second insect is a leaf-eating weevil,

How Johann Strauss Writes his Waltzes

Strauss and his vile were enjoying a
quiet walk in the park Mt Schonau re-
Gently, when suddenly the composer ex-
claimed My dear, have a waltz in
my head ; quick, give me the inside of a
letter or an envelope to write it down,
before I forget it." Alas after much
rummaging of pockets it was discovered
that neither of them had letter about
them-not even q bridesmaids account
Johann Strauss music is considered
light, but it weighs heavy as lead ON his
brain till he can transfer it to paper.
His despair was heart-rending. at last
happy thought struck Frau Strauss.
She held out snowy linen cuIf, and
Johann smiled. In two minutes it was
Ms. Then its mate shared the same
fate, then Frau Strauss collar, then not
another scrap of starched linen on which
to conclude the composition. His OWL
linen was limb colored calico-no hope
there Johann became frantic. He was
much the worse for having been allowed
to write three-quarter of the waltz. He
was on the point of dashing home like a
mailman when another happy thought
struck Frau Strauss. She plunged her
hand into a capacious pocket, fished out
q purse, opened it and displayed, to his
delighted gaze, a bran new hundred
gulden note. Hurrah The entire finale
was written on the bank-note, and then
Johann Strauss relapsed into his usua,
placidity.

A Man who Passed a Terrible Night.

Parson Biggs, an old-time preacher
from away in the country" on his first
visit to Little Rock, went to the resi-
denoe of old Squire Muckle, who at one
time had lived in the parsons neighbor-
hood The 'Squire's family were ex-
ceedingly glad to see the parson, for years
ago he had taken off his saddle at the
'Squire's gate, and had eaten corn bread
and cabbage with the family. After
singing,the old familiar song and pray
ing the old familiar prayer, the Squire
conducted the parson to the bedroom
designed for the rest of the good old SER
want.
"What do you call this ?" asked the
parson, regarding with an air of inter-
est mosquito-bar, suspended over the
bed.
why. that's mosquito-bar."
"What account is it q
"To keep off the mosquitoes"
Brother Muckle, l thought that You
were too sensible man to give away to
these town fxins. You told nue. that
when came to see you that we would
have revival of the old days. Now you
want to hang the thing over me. Take
it down, please. I'm afraid that the
vanity that I've alters heard lurked about
these towns is taking hold of you"
The bar was taken down, and the old
man blew out the candle, which he al
ways carried in his saddle bags, with a
"puff," and retired.
The Squire and Mrs Muckle slept in
an adjoining room. They had been in
bed but few moments when Mrs. Muckle
remarked
"What was that noise p

ing room.

the Squire, stufing the corner OF the
pillow into his mouth.
"Slapl" came from the next room.
Did you hear that ?" exclaimed Mrs.
Muckle.

Something is shaking this bed, Mr..
Muckle."
"Slap, slap /"
go in there and sec what's the mat
ter with the parson, Mr.. Muckle.'
Chuck, chuck, chuck, was all that
Muckle could say.
% You act like man that hasn't got
any sense. You'd lie here and see man
die in the next room"
How can I lay here and (chuck) see
man in the Chuck next room? The
door is shut and the lights out
"Slap, bang p
"You must go in there, Mr.. Muckle. .
"Why don't yen go?'
"Think I'm going into mans room !?
| All right; if the old man dies it ain t my
fault" and Mrs. Muckle turned over.
Muckle chuckled himself to sleep.
Next morning when the parson ap-
peared at the breakfast table, he pre-
sented swollen appearance His face
was covered with bumps, and his hands
looked as though they had the nettle
