IKE GHASSRUlPE.,S.
Their DrH,h.kEtll Seems TO Have
SUmaatd on The Prairie.

Wis tors from Camas Prairie report
the grasshoppe's as showing up thick.
lylas far as Traders ranch, on Chicken
creek, beyond Soldier Some of the
settlers are therefore quite blue over
the prospect. Others, however, main
tain the opinion that they will not
bother much, If at all, this year, be-
cause at least one half seem to die as
soon as hatched. The ground be
tween Willow creek and Crichton i )
actually black with dead grasshoppers.
This is held to indicate that the pests
ure attacked by some fatal disease
which will infallibly destroy them be-
fore they do much damage.
This seems to be the way with the
pest. In Nebraska, Kansas, and
other new communities they increase
aud multiply for few years, then die
by myriads, ana when they commence
dying early in the spring instead Of
late in the fall. they disappear SO rapid
ly and completely that none are seen
for years where heretofore there were
billions upon billions Of them.

Natural SealskiH.

The glossy brown of seal fur, so much
admired by the female sex, collectively
and individually, is not the color OF thee
animal which originally wore the exi;
pensive apparel. (
The natural color of sealskin Is sors
of silvery, grayish brown, with a sugs;
gestion of several other tints. Its quite
as pleasing to the eye as the unrclieved
brown of the dyed fur, and the wonder
is that garments made of undyed skins
are so rarely found in this section of the
country. u
On the Pacific coast they are frequently
seen. The Eastern woman who becomess
the possessor of q sacque made OF the
hiyhly valued fur in its natural color may
feel proud in the knowledge that she has
something uniqne and very pretty, but
no doubt her pleasure will be tainted with!
sorrow at the thought that so few OF her
friends will recoguze the garment as one
of sealskin.
Perhaps the fact that none but the
dyed fur is placed on the market here
may be explained by the other fact that
the high price of sealskiu IS mostly d9s
to the dyeing, which has to be done IN
England, as no American has thus far
discovered a process equal to the English;
OF course, the transportation to Eng
land and return, and the dyeing add to
the expense very materially, and expense
is one of the principal charms that lurk
in the velvety fur of the mild-eycd zeal.

Gladstone's Daily Life.

Mr.. Gladstone lives very regular life
at his home, says a London letter to the
Philadelphia Press. He breakfasts light
ly about seven o'clock, and shortly be-
fore eight walks to the church for prayers.
To the Intelligent observer the sight OF
the great statesman walking to church at
this early hour in the morning cannot
fail to be interesting. Clad in q long
coat, tightly buttoued, with a long
shawl wrapped closely around his neck,
wearing soft felt hat, his appearance is-
decidedly picturesque. Upon his return
to the castle from morning prayers, ne
retires to his study, when he reads and
answers, with the aid of bis secretary,
his enormous mass of daily corresponds,
encc. There is no regular hour fox
luncheon at the castle and it is partaken
of by those at home at various times. In
the afternoon Mr.. Gladstone takes g
walk in the grounds, and if the weather.
is propitious usually engages in his favor:
lte exercise of tree chopping. He dimes
at eight o'clock, aftcrward reads or
writes, and at ten o'clock rctires for the
night. Though abstemious in his habits,
he usually drinks bitter beer with his
lunch and a glass or two of claret or port
at dinner. Mr.. Gladstone is not in any
sense ascetic, is a generous liver and is 9
great believer in the virtues Of a glass Of
good port wine. When engaged IN
speaking his FLIP is compound of sher-
ry and egg, which is prepared by Mrs.
Gladstone with as much anxiety and care
as if it were the elixir of life. Mr.. Glad
stone never smoked. He acquired his
habits at period when tobacco smoking
was generally regarded as somewhat vul+!
gar among the better classes. y
