great resemblance to the mole, the
forelegs being palmate, short, stout,
much fiattened and armed with
solid, tooth like projections, like
the fingers of the hand, and remark
ably we'll adapted for digging in the
earth. They are about an inch
and a half in length, of a light
brown or .fawn color and covered
with short velvet-like down. The
wings of these specimens are lon

From a reporter of the entomolo-
glst at Washington we learn that
'sthey generally live in the moist
places, near water, and form passa-
ges or galleries in the soil. The
European species are said to lay
from two hundred to four hundred
eggs in a nest or kind OF chamber
under the earth. They feed on
vegetable and animal substances
and will eat raw meat; when pressed
for food will even kill and devour
each other. A correspondent of the
national department of agriculture
sent some specimens from Virgins
several years ago, where he said
they were very numerous and had
destroyed nearly his whole crop o.
potatoes, which were planted in
moist ground. They also injurt
grass and vegetables, and some
times green sod by burrowing into
it and cutting off the roots. They
are said to do much damage tC

Boy in Congress.

Speaking of Kentucky elections
some curious stories come TO me in
reg ard to the Hon. William Pres
ton Taulbee, a member of the house
who represents the mountainous
regions of kentucky described in
Charles Egbert Craddock's novels.
Taulbee is long, lank, cadaverous,
smooth faced, sallow- accomplishment
man of thirty five years of age. He
has black eyes, dark hair and a
sort of frontier air about him. He
is man of some ability, and the
congressional directory says that he
prepared himself for congress by
studying for the ministry three
wears and for law three.

Milk as a Pork Prodnoer.

An English writer who claims tc
know froM careful experiments
states that one bushel of Indian
corn will produce twelve pounds Of
pork, and that four or five timee the
weight of corn in SKINNED milk
will produce the same. Thus two
hundred pounds, or twenty five gal.
Ions, of milk will produce as much
pork as one bushel pf corn. From
our own observation we doubt IL
the average feeder obtains twelve
pounds of pork from a hUshel OF
corn, but under favorable circum-
STANCES and iudieious feeding, this
might be a fair estimate, The es-
innate Of the meat producing quail
tY Of milk would indicate that it is
usually moderated in this respect,
and should receive more alton ton.
There is certainly no better food
tor the growth of young pigs

Fall In, OolOred Men!

Last Saturday at Trenton the
negroes broke away from their
white allies and refused to wear
the red rose. One of them voiced
the purpose of all thus:
"You promised us a mule and
forty acres of land years ago, and
you told US that if Cleveland was
elected we would be put back into
slavery. He is elected, and our
rights are protected, and we are
atiu free men. We have made MP
our minds to go with those who have
beensour masters and our friends
through life, and we intend to fight
for the white rose, hoping it will
beat the red, and we will go for our
Bob and democracy and let repub-
licanism take care of ITSELF" These
same colored men were in tue dem
ocratic line with their white roses,
shouting for Bob.

That Surplus.

In a speech in the senate last ses.
sien Senator Beck said:
The country would suffer more
by reason of the amount of money
in the treasury (aud which was in
creasing every year by taxation
than it would if the government
had barely money enough to carry
on its ordinary business. Only
$Iz4, 100000 could be paid off be-
fore September, 1891, and for that
there were $224,000,O0O lying idle
ia the treasury. Therefore be did
care whether the (rIver and harbor)
bill appropriated ten, fifteen OF
twenty millions, go long as the mon
ey was properly spent. Anything
was better than keeping it locked
up in the treasury.

Having Company.

One Of the hardest things to do
without a servant is to have invit
ed company to dinner, but even
this can be accomplished in a grace
full, well-bred manner that will hard
ly allow her absence to be noticed.
In the first place make no attempt
to have many courses, which in
vOlve changes Of dishes. Omit the
soup. Have the meats and vegeia-
bles all on the table when YOU sit
down. If you have several kinds
of the latter it is not necessary TO
crowd them all before the host or
whoever is to do the carving, but
something that Is to be served up
on separate dishes, such as peas,
beans, corn, etc, before some one
else to serve; either one of the fami-
ly or guest you know well. The
water Is, of course, already poured.
Have only coffee to drink besides.
If You do not bring this on, as is
now etiquette, until desert, you can
assist in dishing out The vegetables,
OF course pickles, jellies and spiced
sauces are to be passed. 1t facili-
tates things to have the butter
made in little patties, already upon
the individual butter plates when
you sit down. A further supply
can be kept upon the table for ed
ditional call,
Have sbut one kind of dessert
unless fruit is ad led. The latter
can be upon the table as spretty
garniture from the first. This kind
of dinner, seasoned with q pleas
ant hospitality, can bs as refined
and as Indicative of good breeding
as one with a multiplicity of cour
ses and waiting servants 1t ean
be one to which the heads Of any
household need not be ashamed 10
have any one in the land sit down,
even though he may be accustomed
to everything that wealth can give.
An atmosphere of refinement about
a small house and meager arrange
ments will make up for any num-
Der of short comings in those things
that money bpys.-Toledo Blade,

POINTS FOR WOMEN.

Scented wood will be largely US
ed for winter fans.
Buckles on shoes are in cut steele
and bronze.
Solid colors and plain weavinge
are the rule in hosiery.
The fayoriie way in arranging
cut flowers on the table is in low
bowls.
In buying table linen the finer
and smaller the pattern the longer
it will last.
A feature in good jewelry is the
chased finished which is largely
employed in every variety or orna-
ment.
Pretty bedroom slippers are in
quilted satin with two small flaps
turned over the edge like turned
down collar.
Queen chains for ladies as well as
vest CHAINS for gentlemen exhibI,
alternate links or strands of plati-
mum of gold.
Broad white ties of null OF
French lawn daintily embroidered
on the ends are again fashionable
for neck wear.
Fine enamel work, especially or
silver, continues in favor and will
be popular so long as fly and flower
patterns prove acceptable.
If the hands are stained there il
nothing that will remove the stains
as well as lemon. Cut a lemon il
halves and apply the cut surface as
if it were soap.
Portieres made of leather braid
ed in long strands, which will fall
from the top of the door to the sill
are quite the rage among the devo
ted followers of the JaPanesque.
A feature in jewelry is the asso
citation of platinum and gold. This
is all the time increasing, heing nc
longer confined to jewelry for gen
tlemen's wear, but largely used in
ornaments designed for ladies as
we'll. Many beautiful effects are
produced by this combination
which occurs now in all articles Of
jewelry.

ering large shield shape form in
wood with crimson plush or what.
ever color may be more desirable

A (lamnaign Tie

1t is told 10 Louisville that a par
ty of Kentucky officials from Frank
fort recently went into the country
to brace up. " alking lazily along
one day they came across a big
rattlesnake lying across the road.
All saw it, but none paid the least
attention to it and each carolessly
stepped over it and said nothing.
A farmer watched the proceedin g
in horror, killed the snake and ASK
ed the officials what was meant by
such conduct. He was informed
that it was such an every day affair
for men TO see snakes 10 Frankfort
that no one thought anything OF O.
single snake in the path.
