One of the most singular uses to which cleo
tricity has been put in this electric age. is an
nounced from Paris, says the Youths Com
panion. A French savant has invented an
electric mosquito bar. which is, he believes,
destined to replace ell other means of defense
against flying insects Making use of the prin-
Cipal of electric execution. he has constructed a
sort of screen or wire-work cage, with small
electric light in the center. The mosquitoes, at
tracted by the light, attempt TO fly through the
interstices of the cage, but If they so much as
touch the tIDS of their wingS-and tEey cannot
fly through without doing so-they are struck
by the current of electricity with which the
screen is kept constantly charged.
The mosquito trap, which, under test is
said to have killed innumerable Wet ms, can be
maintained only by the aid of a small electric
apparatus, so arranged as to send alternative
currents through the wire network
II is TO be supposed that tie person to be
protected takes refuge in the interior of the
netting with the little electric light and the gen
Grating apparatus. 1t is not too much to say
that there are some people who would rather
have the mosquitoes.
Inasmuch as, if the electrified netting will
keep out the mosquitoes, netting made
little closer would keep them out without any
electricity, II does not seem likely that this in
vention is destined to any great usefulness
IL reminds me somewhat of the story of
Dutchman who went about selling a prepare
ton for poisoning a certain kind Oftroublesome
insect.
You take de iusec' NIT de finger an de
dumb of Won handt." said the peddler an
den NIT de odder handt you put de pizen in his
mout"
But" said farmer, "if you've got to catch
them and hold them that way, why can't you
smash EN- and done with it,
we'll, :" said the Dutchman, dots a good
way too"
The electric netting also suggests the story of
Patrick S experience with an ordinary mosquito
canopy. He found one in a room that he was to
sleep in one night, and, after studying it for
time, made up his mind now it was TO be used
This is the way he related his experience the
next day:
ITS an Elegant thing l found in the room

net for minnows over me bid. Imade a hole
through it wild me knife an livery moskater in

According to London cable dispatch to
the New York Herald the closing of the
great Welsh tin plate factories made a sem
sation in the British capital. Out of eighty
about two-thirds have suspended, but the
correspondent claims to have trustworthy
information that the closing was the result
of a joint agreement. So much tin plate
had been rushed over to escape the opera
ton Of the Mckinley law that he thinks
1.-The American market was overstocked
and the present movement is an effort to re.
lieve the market so as to raise prices This
had the disastrous result Of raising prices to
a point that induced Americans to bui Id
their own factories. On the first of next
month the owners will decide whether the
factories shall be opened or not. Many are in
favor of flooding the American market and
keeping prices so low as to discour>
| age the home efforts at man
ufacturiug. Several manufacturers have
sent agents to the iron regions of Alabama
to investigate the Advisability of putting
up plate tin works there. Thirty thousand
| Welshmen thrown out OF work are eagerly
awaiting the result" That's all very we'll
to talk about at long range. But how could
| the construction of works in Alabama in
terest those idle Welshmen one way or an
| other since importing contract labor is for
hidden by law, and they could not be
brought over to operate mills even though
there as no other labor in the country to
be had suitable for the purpose. Nor could
the country be flooded to bring down prices
so as to crush out competition, for the sim
pie reason that the market Is already we'll
supplied, and there are no buyers with a
craving for rash experiments at enormous
expense to themselves in the form of tariff
and idle capital. So it is evident that the
startling information quoted must have had
its origin with some one who knew nothing
| of the subject in hand.

A True Fish Story,

This is a fish story. Unlike a good many
others, says the Lewiston Journal, it is true
Being true, we give the names of the gentlemen
who will back it up and they are F. H. Packard
and Charles H. Davis, both of Lewiston. They
have been at Moosehead, up by the wild lands
of the Northwest Carry, at the Seboomook
house, and Saturday. June 49, at supper, the
proprietor said: Wen have chowder to-mor-

him. The cusk was gone; the pole WAS gone;
the chowder was gone. He never saw any of
them again.

Wednesday, June Il, at noon, with party of
New York or Boston fishermen over by North
east Carry, six miles from the SeboOmOOk They
were padding the placid lake when Danas two
black eyes saw something bobbing in the lake,
pole or stick Hopping up and down. He went
for it and reached it, and, passing the pole over
to one OF the gentlemen, they drew in the cusk

Not exactly, for the cusk was a trout, the lat

The latter was taken to Kineo and shipped to
New YORK. Tom Dana knew thai over at the
Seboomook they set poles for cusk and he in
quired, and the pole was identified The re-
markable thing about it is that a fish should
tow heavy pole six miles across the lake and
live four days on the end of hook, and still be
as strange-a true story as the annals of the
toque can tell.

Making Friends With Lord Dude Y.

Making Friends With Lord Dude Y.
The habit of thinking aloud was peculiarly
of the earls Of Dudley, says the Sheffield TeSe-
graph, and of this an amusing anecdote is told.
Lord Dudley being invited to the house of a
friend had ordered his carriag at an early
hour, having some miles TO travel before he
could obtain his accustomed repose. To his
great modification, after repeated inquiries for
Lord Dudley carriage, it had not arrived
One OF the guests, seeing how much his lord
ship was disconnected by the event. very politely
offered him seat IN his. The gentleman in
question had to pasS his lOrdship'S house on his
return home, ana though he was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley, his rank ana position
in the country were, or course we'll known to
him. Nevertheless, they had not been s .ated in
the carriage more than twenty minutes when
the per- who had up to that moment main
tained a most perfect silence, observed in a low
but distinctly audible tone of voice:
I'm very sorry | accepted his offer. | don't
know the man. 1t was civil, certainly; but the
worst of it is, L suppose, must ask him to
dinner
He then relapsed into his former state OF tao
iturnty, when, after few minutes the gentle
man, pretending to be afflicted with the same
falling, and initiating his lordships tone, OBJ
ssrved:S
Perhaps he'll think I did it to make his ac-
quaintance Why, should have done the same
thing to any farmer on his estate | hone he
won't think it nece isary to ask me TO dinner,
for shant accept the invitation"
Lord Dudley listened to him VITA earnest,
interest, Immediately comprehended the Joke
hand with much hearty good will to his com
panion, making every proper apology for his
Involuntary rudeness, and from that night the
travellers became 1nseparabe friends.

The Kansas farmers alliance has gone to
work in a practical way to assist its mem
bers. 1t has appointed a committee to get
loans for them from eastern capitalists
The mortgages on the farms OF great
many of them are nearly due. and must be
paid or renewed, and in many other in
/ stances farmers want to obtain loans, Civ
ing mortgages on their farms as security.
The committee will do the work heretofore
done by middlemen, and they will do it
without much expense to the farmers. 1t
! il believed that the farmers will be able.
| through this assistance Of the alliance, to
get money cheaper than they have been
| getting it.
This kind of work will be Of great benefit
to the farmers and will be appreciated by
them. There is a good deal Of talk to the
effect that Kansas alliancemen whose farms
are mortgaged, purpose TO repudiate their
debts as far as they can. The foundation
for this talk is the action of a few farmers
who have suggested organizations to prevent
purchasers of farms, sold at mortgage for
closure sales, from taking possession Of the
property purchased.
L ne great HlhJOIIIy VI tuc AdILuSIo are
thoroughly honest and purpose to do what
is right. All OF the farmers should not be
condemned as repudiationists because few
preach reputation.
The farmers alliance committee will be
Of benefit to the lender as well as the bor-
rover, because it will inform the lender as
to what security is good and what is not,
provided it acts in accordance with its In
structions, and there is no reason to doubt
that it will.
The credit of the farmers Of Kansas is not
now very good, owing TO the measures
hostile to capital which were introduced
into the legislature last winter. Money
lenders are disposed to give the state a wide
berth. They are afraid that if their money
gets out Of their hands they will never get
it again. The alliance committee proposes
to change this condition of affairs. By
making it clear that the farmers intend to
comply with their contracts, the credit of
the people of the state will be restored and
the bad influence of the reputation talk
will be nullified.

A Weak Defense,

Finding that public sentiments becoming
stronger against their party on account of
its reckless extravaganza in the last con-
gress, the republican leaders and organs
are trying to defend their party's action in
appropriating $1,000, 100000 during that
congress. And their defense is that tie
country is expanding, and that, therefore,
the expenditure for its government must
necessarily be greater. They say they are
proud of the plllion-dollar congress.
This sort of talk deceives no one The
republican leaders are fearful that on ac-
count of their unparalleled extravaganza
the people will turn their party out of
power. And there are good grounds for
their fears.
1t is true that the country has grown, but
not fast enough to justify appropriations by
one congress amounting to billion dol
lars. If the country had grown as fast as
the last congress has made the appropria>
lions grow it would now have q population
of 100, 100000
The Secretary Of the Treasury wrote an
article for a republican paper Of New York
the other day in which he said that the
preparations made by the billion dollar con-
gress. The secretary has not read the demo-
cratic papers very carefully or he would
know that they have been attacking them
in detail and in every other way.
The truth is, the republicans found a
large surplus in the treasury when Mr..
Harrison's administration came into power
and they made up their minds to distribute
it. They carried out their purpose. They
did more. They left the treasury in such a
condition that there is doubt whether
there will not be lack of money to pay
current expenses before the end of the
present fiscal year. The republicans may
be proud of the billion dollar congress, but
by the time the fall elections are over they
will not be IN condition of mind to boast
of it. They won't want to hear anything
about that congress.

Immediately upon his return to Germany
the young kaiser had better learn to govern
his own appetite before he again attempts to
govern his country, if reports be true. Only
a day OF two ago Henri Rochefort wired
the following statement from London to his
LIntrdnS:gednt: 81 have it from a sure
source that the German emperor has had
two epileptic attacks since he left Holland,
one on the Hohenzollern, which had a
stormy passage to England; the other at
Windsor. DR.. Lsnthold, his favorite physi-
ciau, does not leave the emperor for a mo-
ment, and has summoned DIR. Bergman.
Over-indulgence at table is partly
the cause for these attacks. His
wound is supperating freely, and
the treatment he underwent for his
arm before starting augments his indisposi-
ton. He is advised to take the greatest
care" Now it is easy to understand why
the emperor SO peremptorily dismissed the
sagacious and mastery Bismarck. 1t was
probably much more due TO his dyspepsia
than his Judgment. No doubt but he has
frequently regretted his precipitate haste
at critical times since.

At Chamberlins a party of distinguished
FOUNDERS were exchanging gossip once, says the
Washington Critic.
Somebody began to tell of Eugene Field, of
his various trips and quips and witticisms.
There was story about his astonishing
watch. 1t seems he went to the trouble of pro-
curing an enormous watch, the size OF a ruta
baga turnip.
Somewhere within the vast interior of this in
strument be had placed a coDtrivance of such a
nature that when one turned the stem as
though to wind it up, it gave forth a loud and
raSping noise like unto that of ten locus saw
ing their resounding legs at once.
Armed with this engine of torture, Field used
10 repair TO theaters where dreadful and heart
rendlnR plays were in process of evolution. and
then at narrowing points, would unsheathe his
watch and turn the crank with industry. He
always broke up the tragedy.

about those devices in English that can be com
pretended.
