GOOD WORDs FOR DUBOIS.

Perry s. Heath, the prominent
journalist who accompanied the Con-
gressional delegation to Boise City
last summer, interviewed Gov. Shoup
in Washington short time ago. Al
ter touching on different matters con-
nected with Statehood, the Governor
was asked who the Republicans
would choose as their first U. S. Sem
ators. He replied:
Erred Dubois, our present Dele
gate, will be one of them, l know,
for it is conceded on every hand that
be has earned this recognition. He
has not only agitated our people in
favor of Statehood and got the senti-
ment drifting the right way, but he
has fought our Statehood battle be-
fore Congress and in the Supreme
Court of the United States. I do
not think that there is anybody in
Idaho who would not say that Fred
Dubois should be one of our first Uni.
ted States Senators. The South end
of the State will secure one Senator
and | presume the other Senator will
be chosen from the north end of the
State"
The Governor has been spoken OF
as a very prominent candidate for
Senator in Conthern Idaho bnt Il on.

proves to be Republican State, the

Macclenny is to have rice mill. The
building has been erected and the ma
chinery is on the ground. A correspond
ent in the Times Union says there is q
large area of land there that is especially
suitable for upland rice, and it is said
that fifty bushels per acre is no uncom-
mon crop. The lack of facilities for pre-
pairing it for home use or for market has
heretofore prohibited the cultivation of
this cereal to any considerable extent.
Now the barrier is removed, and a large
acreage will be planted the coming sea-
son. 1t is more profitable than cotton
and twice as profitable as wheat. We
urge the wheat farmers of the Northwest
to leave their climate and come to Flor
ida to grow rice.

CARPENTER Ants.

OF all the species of ants, and there are
several, probably one of the most ingeni-
Gus in their construction of habitations
than those called carpenter ants. These
small insects possess extraordinary mus
cular strength and wonderful perseverance
They seek out the trunk of some old tree
and gnaw out galleries and apartments,
with floors and partitions as thin as cards
They form their partition walls of a sort
of PAPER mache composed of sawdust,
earth and spiders web. and use, also in
the construction Of their homes, other ma
tsrials, which they spread and mould by
means of their manibles and feet.
These carpenter ants make an architect
urally perfect home. and, in its construc-
ton, display almost incredible workman
ship A notable example, and one that
has for years excited widespread curiosity,
can be seen in Darien, Mcintosh county,
Ga. In large live oak in one of the
principal streets, a colony of these car.
penter ants has made an habitation, and IL
appears to have been favored spot for
years. A assure in the base of the oak
seems to be the abiding place of the in
sects, and from this spot upward to the
various branches, the ants have made a
grooved path, and 30 persistenly and faith
fully have they labored that the insect
carpenters have formed a depression In the
tree to the extent of half an inch, and the
path is distinctly visible to height of
seventy five feet. The work of these ants
excites much attention in this particular
place, and is one of the curiosities of the
thriving town, whose inhabitants doubtless
have taken lesson from the insects, as
thrift, industry and progress characterize
its people.
The carpenter ants, unlike their con-
geners, the poaera alta and mayrmsca alta
are stingless, but have the power of de-
Tense outside of their muscular msnibles
in ejecting peculiar volatile acid from q
small sac in the abdomen. This means of
defense renders it capable of effectually
repelling many small adversaries, to which
the puDgent fumes are intolerable.
The study of this species of ants is a
very interesting one, and has attracted
attention from remote ages.-Ihe Old
Homestead.

The Farmer Is a Politician.

The importance of the farmer as po-
litical factor is becoming more noticeable
in every campaign. The man who tills
the soil and furnishes the country with Its
living is cutting wide swath in politics
He holds prominent place in the affairs
of the Dakotas, Iowa, Michigan and Min
nesota. In the latter State the Farmers
Alliance has just completed Its nomina-
tions. 1t is interesting to note that one of
the leading candidates for the guberna-
torial nomination, Ignstius Donnelly, was
beaten and the editor of a Minneapolis
agricultural paper chosen in his stead. Mr..
Donnelly is ripe scholar, fine lawyer, a
shrewd politician, and. has been Con-
gresham and Lieutenant Governor. He
posed as an independent. and sought the
nomination. The farmers would not have
him because he was not one of them.
There seems to be growing inclination,
where the farmers have organized them
selves as political body, to draw the lines
closely and to keep all favors, at least the
big prizes, to themselves. The wisdom or
folly of this plan practical test alone can
satisfactorily demonstrate.

Mail For a Grave.

There was received at the postoidce on
the morning of one memorial day, wreath
of flowers that had come by mail some dis

of postage stamps and the address. ITO

1t is very unusual thing to receive par
eel addressed to dead man or his grave,
and the officials naturally were puzzled to
know what to do with the wreath. They
had no precedents to 60 by, SO, after due
deliDeration, postman was sent out with
the wreath. Accompanied by second
official, who could affirm, IL trouble arose,
that the parcel had been rendered, he
marched to the grave and waited awhile to
see If d claimant for the wreath would
come No one appeared, Of course, and as
they were not authorized to leave it, was
returned TO the Office Tho wreath was
presumably consigned TO the dead parcel

A Modern Need for Sleep.

There is not one man or woman in ten
thousand who can afford to do without
seven or eight hours sleep. All those
stories written about great men and women
who slept only three or four hours night
make very interesting reading !; but l tell
you, my readers, no man or woman ever
yet kept healthy in body and mind for q
number of years with less than seven
hours sleep. Americans need more sleep
than they are getting. This lack makes
them so nervous and the insane asylums
SO populous. If you can get to bed early
then rise early. If you caunot get to bed
till late then rise late. It may be as Chris
tian for one man to rise at 8 as it is for
another to rise at 5. l counsel my readers
to get up when they are rested. But Jet
the rousing bell be rung at least thirty
minutes before your public appearances.
Physicians say that sudden jump out of
bed gives irregular motion to the pulse
1t takes hours to get over too sudden
rising. Give us time after you call us to
roll over, gaze at the world full in the face
and look before we leap.-T De Watt

Fashionable Follies.

New York dinner givers who are strain
ing after novelty have given some unique
entertainments. One of these was coach
ing dinner. The dinner table was in the
form of coach wheel. nearly fifteen feet
in diameter, with spokes of ribbon and a
brass hub which concealed an enormous
electric light. The decorations were all of
a fashion that suggested coaching, and the
menu was constructed with similar lean
ing toward that particular form of sport.
Another dinner which was given by a
prominent yachtsman taxed the inventive
genius of a rival caterer. The steward
gained access to his hosts yacht in time to
get lots of odds and ends from the pilot
house and cabin, in the way of telescopes,
marine glasses, compasses, bells and SO on,
and they were all arranged with due re-
gard for the nautical character of the
guests. Canvas ship chairs were used
around the table, which was in the some
what unusal form of a rudder, with a
beautiful array of bottles in an imposing
line on the tiller handle.-Ne0 York Let

Little Emily's Version.

Little Emily belongs to family where
there is great deal Of talk about "labor"
and t'the rights of the workingman." Her
father, who is a respectable workingman
himself, once left place where he had
daily labor because the lady of the house
said to him, innocently s'Your master
would like to have you clean out the fur
mace this morning"
II cal no man master" said the irate
workman, and thereupon demanded his
wages and departed.
EMIL had heard this incident proudly
dilated on in many family council, and
had learned her lesson we'll. One morn
ing she sat on the front steps, playing
with her little dog, when a gentleman ap-
preached.
ssAh, that's pretty dog" said he.
Eyes, sir" said Emily, proudly, strok-
ing Fido's long curls.
ssAnd are you his little mistress =

The Farmer in Politics.

The political horizon of this country to-
day presents many features of alarm to the
politician, none more horrible to hi J visicn
than the universal movement on the part
of the farmers to take an active part in
public affairs, and their determination to
have something to say in the administra-
ton of the affairs of this great and glcr-
ious republic of ours The continued cheap
price of all farm products that have pre-
vailed for the past decade, and the general
decline that has taken place in the value
of their lands, have at last awakened the
tillers of the soil from their long sleep;
that they intend to lake hand, without
regard to either Of the two great parties in
the administration of affairs is certain.
There prevails in Ohio q system of valua-
ton or appraisement OF the farming lands
of the State made every ten ears, for the
purpose of having basis of or making
the tax levy upon. This has just been
made and the report shows over the entire
State shrinkage of values of all farming
lands. In WAYNE county, one of the rich
est and best farming counties of the State,
shows shrinkage of $50 per acre in value
for the past ten years. What is true of
Ohio, in regard to the loss of value in
farming lands, is true of the whole coun-
try, esps cially in the West. This report
shows that the increase of values during
the past ten years only occurs in the cities
and towns where the protected manufac-
tories are found.
There is big lesson in this report and
it has set not only the people of Ohio to
thinking but the entire nation. Farming
in America to-day, and has been for ten
years past, the poorest and less renumer-
alive of any business that man can en-
gage in. 1t was the most attractive and
the most independent in the time of our
fore-fathers, to- day it is the least attrac-
tive and the most dependent. This is the
situation to day and fully accounts for the
present movement on the part of the
farmers. Az through the South this
movement is taking form and substance
The Southern Congressman are at loss
how to grapple with this new and untried
element. In Minnesota the farmers al
lance have nominated an entire State tick
ct of men that are without blemish and
who stand high with the people and
naught can be said against them. In our
own State, clubs are being formed, papers
in the interest of their cause being started
and there are every indications that the
movement has taken deep root in Iowa
soil. Of course this movement on the
part of the farmers is largely experiment
tai but is one that will be watched with
interest by the entire American people
