BEETLES AND LICE.

The West Side Ladies' Literary Inquire
Into the Mysteries or 10th.
The club convened ut the usual hour
and listened to program provided 10y
the Science Committee, consisting OF
paper on "Insecta." No part or the
earth is without insects. Explorers
have found them at $50 north latitude,
and fossil remains of beetles have been
discovered in still far more remote por-
tons of the frozen northland. There
are eighty thousand distinct species OF
beetles. The maximum age Of insects
is attained in the pee, the green bee liv-
ing seven years; while the minimum is
represented by the ephemera, which. in
its perfected state, lives but a single day,
although the larve requires a year or
mere for growth and development he
fore it assumes the insect form.
A selection from "Recoiiections on
the Works Of Nature" written by a
German scientist, Herr Christopher
Christian Sturin, in 1850, and after
wards translated and published in 1854,
showed the author TO have been pro-
found thinker rs we'll as much in ad-
vance of the theorists of mis- time. The
remainder of the afternoon was spent
in viewing specimens-through the mi
croscope-ot different forms OF insect
life. Amcng these were the ";rachea"

NEVER TO RETuRN.
Sad End OF = bright Young Newspaper
Worker.

Among the lost on the schooner w.
C. kimball. which foundered or Was run
down by some unknown craft, between
Manistee and Sorthport. few weeks
since, was william Powers Wolfe. of
Northport. who served creditabiy as the
Wiscon sin's correspondent at that point
and whose pen furnished numerous
short sketches ana stores about sea-
faring men which have appeared IN
these columns from time to time.
Young Wolfe lfor he WAS only 80 years
of age when he was suddenly cut
down. MAS born ut NorthpOrs, Novein-
Der %, 1855. He MAS the eldest grand
son of Rev. George y. Smith, . pioneer
missionary who came ~ Michigan from
Vermont over fifty years ago. At n
very early age VIII developed n decided
taste for newspaper work, and at the
age of Is years nc was regularly EN-
ployed as reporter OH the lndianap-
oils Daily Sentinel. When - years Old
ne WAS promoted to the cry editorshlp
of that paper and fulfilled his duties
with notable ability. Failing health
demanding change, he became
advance agent for his friend, Luther
Benson, the noted temperance lecturer.
lie afterwards returned 10 newspaper
work but was not able to cope With the
daily grind. In April. 1881, his grand
father, Rev. Mr.. Smith. died after a
brief illness, and Will returned 10 The
old home ut Nortbport, where he re-
NAMED with his widowed mother and
grandmother. In that quiet little town.
where the tinkling cowbells and the
villagers lusty shout superseded the
noise and strife OF the great city, he
lived the life of the humble farmer;
but the flame Of his old love burned
strongly within him and he found his
greatest pleasure in collecting news for
the Wisconsin. Detroit Tribune. and
other great dailies. He was fond of
sailing, and took an occasional trip to
lake ports. TWAS on one of these trips
that he met his death. The members
of tho newspaper fraternity received
the news Of his sad death with heart
felt sorrow, for he was one whom TO
know was to love. Genial, generous
chivalrous, with gentle tenderness iol
those near and dear to him, his loss
will be felt more and more us the days
roll by.--Even,ng Wisconsin.

BEEF AND PORK SUPPLY.

Both Meats are Inciining Upward In
Price Caused by Limited Offerings =
Meats are placed on the market by
local producers in limited quantities.
The supply of pork Is not equal to the
demand and was advanced to : cents a
pound. The markets are getting their
supply OF beef from the West at in
creased prices. The reason given for
the present scarcity is that owing TO the
shortage and high price of feed during
the past year stock Was slaughtered and
placed on the market early in the sea-
son. There IL little poultry offered for
sale and the price is fixed accordingly.
Spring lamb IL marketed in limited
quantities and readily demands Is cents

The saloon element Of the State is
looking anxiously toward the present
Legislature for some relief from the
burdens which the better element of
society has laid upon them. They have
a right TO look for this relief. for the
element in politics, which they have al
WAYS favored, is now in power. Even
the Patron element. which takes de-
cided stand against the saloon interest,
in its Flint platform, has allied itself so
closely with the Democracy in the Leg
stature, that the salconkeepcrs hope
for sympathy from them. The pending
bill for their especial benefit makes the
liquor tax uniform at $500, but an ef-
fort will be made to fix il at $780, Then
they are TO have the privilege of run
nIng their business on all legal holidays
and on election days after the polls are
closed. The privilege Of finding sure
ties anywhere in the county is TO be
granted, to make it easy for them, ana
thea these gentlemen will feel quite
satisfied. They forget altogether that
their business Is not favored one, but
one that needs and is burdened with
restrictions for tho public good. The
only reason why it is not utterly for
hidden, is because the better element in
the state has not yet solidified on that
principle of action. II is very doubtful
whether the people OF the State of
Michigan are prepared 10 ratify any
such legislation, for the benefit of the
saloon. as this present misfis Legislature
Is At present contemplating.
