1t is announced that myriads Of grass
hoppers are Matching in the Washington
Hills neighborhood, in Jerauld county,
Dakota. This was an old breeding
ground for these destroyers in by.gone
years and it is probable that some Of the
seed has been lying dormant there since
the palmy days of the pestiferous insect.
Native born grasshoppers do not devas.
tate beyound the limits of the section
which produces them. They will eat all
the green things in the neighborhood Of
their Matching beds and as soon as they
become full fedged will fy southwark
to the warmer PLAINS Of southern Kan
sas. Experience demonstrates. however,
that the Dakota born grasshopper does
not possess the hardy vigor Of the broods
which formerly swept down upon us
from the far northwest. They are q de.
generate type of the original, afflicted
with disease and short lived. Our Wes.
sington neighbors have the chance tc
destroy q considerable proportion ol
their grasshopper brood by burning the
prairie grass in which they are now find
ing lodgment.

Washington, May 1l-Mr. Henry r.
James, who has been chief of the divi.
sion of customs Of the treasury depart
nent for many years, to-day rendered
his resignation at the request OF Secre.
tary Manning. There Is no intimstion
at the treasury as to who will succeed
MIR. James. This is one OF the most i'm.
.pOrSant Offices IN the treasury. All reou.
lations and decisions affecting the col
lection of customs duties are supposed
to be made by one of the assistant secre.
taries or by the secretary himself, but in
fact such regulations and decisions are
mainly made by the chief of the customs
division or by his immediate subordi-
mates through him, the assistant secre.
tarles merely giving their approval in q
pertunctory manner. This has been the
practice for several years past, and has
resulted in much fault finding by those
directly interested, and not unfrequent.
y in serious charges being made against
the chief ofthe customs division. Fol
SEVERAL years there has been an almost
constant pressure for the removal
OF Mr.. James, and although hl
wae suspended by Secretary Bris.
TOW, Mr.. James has been able tc
maintain his place. It is due to Mr.
james to say that his removal at the
present time is not because of any
charges against him. When Mr.. Nimmo
was removed from the head of the bu.
reau of statistics a few days ago revenue
reformers alleged that he administered
his office in the interest of protection
theories. Such an allegation can not be
made in the case of Mr.. James on ad
ministering the customs division.

stands by O'Donoghue as not only abun-
dantly quail fed for the position, but
who will 30 manage things that while
the public interests will be we'll served,
those of the democracy will at the same
time not be neglected. But as nearly q
month has to run yet, before Judge

that there may be "new DEAL" il not q

the final decision is arrived at. A warm

What Men Fall in Love With.

Men fall in love, they say, with
beauty, with goddess, with gentleness,
with sweet voice, with a smile, with
an agreeable manner, with a lovable
disposition, with many ascertainable
and measurable things, and yet we find
them continually falling in love with
women who are not beautiful, nor good,
nor wise, nor gentle, nor possessing
any ascertainable or measurable
thing. You'll find one hundred reasons
given for falling in love, or being in
love, and rarely the right reason
which is commonly simply because a
man cannot help it. He is in love
because mysterious force in nature
has touched him. The woman may be
unbeautiful, heartless, selfish, cruel,
untrue, coarse, frivolous, empty, but if
the magic of nature--something of the
magic, | suspect, that Puck used on the
eyes of Titania-touches him he sees
not one of these things in their true
aspect. Yes, the Titanias that have
fallen in love with men crowned with
donkey heads, and the men that have
fallen in love with serpenrs, thinking
them doves, are maryland all because
of a diabolism or mystic furyin nature
that delights in bringing incongruous
elements together for the sake of a
dance ofdelirium.
