Instead of obeYing the law and sur
rendering to them the enormous profits
he EFFORTS or expects to extort from the

his thumbs in his buttonholes and de-
clares that no one else shall run his bust

II he were competent to have bust.
ness and run it, why did he not say so
sooner instead of going to congress and
demanding that the American people
should run it by submitting to taxes for
which there was no other demand? Hav.
ing done that he stultifies himself when
he talks of my business" as if it were a
private affair. Under the Mckinley tariff
it is nothing of the kind. 1t is the prop
erty of the commune under the repu BIZ
can communism of tariff subsidies and
bounties. His employees have right to
run it to the extent of forcing him to give
up to them all the law allows, and the
tariff laws, according to his own interpra.
tation, allows them what he gets as the
difference between fair price for what
he sells and high tariff monopoly price.
They will never get rid of him, it is
true, but his knowledge of their lack of
ability to do go does not justify him in
pretending that he has built up BUSH
ness by his own energy aud enterprise or
that he has earned what he intends TO

The republican press throughout the
Eleventh congressional district is just
now engaged in lauding the public spirit,
energy and accomplishments of Hon. w.
II. Gest, both as a congressman and pri-
vate citizen. And at the same time re-
Elections are thrown out against his suc>
cessor in congress for imagined neglect
of duty for not being at home to relieve
Mr.. Gest of the great load of response
bility which he is supposed to be carry
ing around grstuitously on his shoulders.
Whether or not this is An attempt on the
part of the partisan editors to convince
Mr.. Gest Of the pjustness of his asser-
ton following last falls election
10 regard to his "upgrsteful constit-
uents," we are unable to state, but they
certainly display woful lack of perspics-
city in their fulsome praise of the ex q.
congressman as q dIsinterested worker
for the public good. His efforts to
change the Henneprn canal route from
that reported and endorsed by the govern.
ment engineers is 10 direct antsgonism to
general sentiment, and as this is the only
public matter in which he has displayed
any zeal, we fail TO see where he deserves
any credit. 1t is chsritably presumed,
however, that Mr.. Ges! is sctusted by q
desire to help certain of his personal
friends who have more than casual inter-
est in the northern" route. and who no
doubt would fully appreciate the gentle
mans services in their behalf.

A Oniet Little Game.

Three knives or sticks are placed on the
table. Some one who knows the game is
detailed TO 60 out OF the room. He must
choose a confederate, but not mention who
1t is. The people in the room are asked to
touch one of the knives, which were num-
bered one, two, three. The confederate
notes which one is touched, and on calling
in the person who was sent out, gives him
the cue, touching his forehead if the first
knife is touched, his cheek or nose if the
second or middle one is chosen, and his
chin if the third knife is the one.
The person who gives these signals must
do so in a perfectly natural manner. a
lady, who had perfect control of her feat
ures, sat in the middle of the room and
gave one signal after another, the others
all knowing that she was the confederate,
but her movements were so easy and nat
ural that they simply could not under
stand them. II any one sees, or thinks he
sees through the game, insist on his going
ont; and, if he has really found it, keep on
until the others have all found out, or are
willing to give it up."-Home Queen.

\ capital example of the straits which
literal obedience without judgment may
bring one into, is given in the Youth 5

Tommy is a. very literal boy He is
quite capable of standing on the burning
deck, like that other lad who interpreted a

to a crisp.
Don't take OF your rubbers, Tommy"
said his mother one morning, as she left
him running across he wet lawn, and that
night when she returned from her visit,
and looked into Tonmy's room, strange
sight met her gaze. The new Casabianca
was fast asleep in his little bed, and from
beneath the clothes were sticking two
black feet bedaubed with mud. Tommy
had not taken off his rubbers! How was
it possible to corrupt so obedtent child
by telling him that he should have used
his judgment.
1t is well understood in the family that
the children are not to eat cake Tommy,
visiting at an aunt's, remembered this on
the first morning of his stay.

EARLY last spring Prof. Forbes

EARLY last spring Prof. Forbes, state
entomofogist, stationed at the university
OF Illinois. at Champaign, received from
the Smithsonian institute at Washington,
a few of the Larvae OF parasite found
only in Europe, and claimed to be de-
structive to the Hessisn fly. He under
took experiments upon these larya to
see whether they would prove destruc-
tive to the insect here, and if so, in what
degree. In order to determine this q
small patch of wheat on the university
farm. about one yard square. Was en-
closed in box so arranged that the
grain could have light, air aud water to
sian flies and the lsrvg of the parasite
mentioned were put in and the box 80
closed that they could not escape OF other
insects get in, and thus the experiment
was begun.
The Larvae have at last Matched out and
are fiourishing well They are almost a
microscopical insect and seem to have
been created solely to prey upon the Hes
sian fly. They are a neatly formed,
wasp-shaped little mite and are sup
piled with a sharp sting or auger.
With unerring instinct they find the
place where the Hessian fly has laid its
egg under the husk of tine straw, and
boring down into it, the parasite lays his
egg inside the egg of the fly. There il
develops into q minute grub, consuming
the egg of the fly and destroying it. This
Is an outline of what has been proved BY
the experiment made, and it is even sur
missed the parasite will be more destruc'
tive in this country than in Europe. L
is totally unknown to scientific men in
this country and was first discovered il
southern Russia.

THE CHINESE EMPERoR's NEW SLEIGH
This imperial sledge is shaped much like
the sedan chairs which were more common
than carriages even in England in the last
century, only instead of being borne on
two poles it rests on runners. Sedan chairs
are still used at the Chinese imperial court.
At the emperor's welding two years ago,
when he was seventeen, the bride was
brought in a red sedan chair from her
mothers house to the throne room of the
the palace, where the emperor saw her for
the first time.
The emperor's new sleigh is of wonder
full workmanship, richly carved and paint
ed and gilded. At the four corners of the
roof are Chinese dragons, as if guarding
the golden ball raisel in the center whieh
is the symbol of the emperor. In front is
another dragon, larger and more territ lie
TO look upon than the four above. The in
terror of the sleigh is beautifully fitted up;
it contains toilet c;Lse, watch looking
glass and perfume bottles.-Little Men
