Lost in the Australian Woods.

At first sight it would seem impos-
sible for one to lose himself in these
sparse, open woods, wherein long
avenues open and through whose
feathcry gum trees the sky can always
be seen. can vouch by personal ex-
pericncc, however, that nothing is
more deceptive than the apparent Sc
curlty of the Australian bush. All
the trees are alike and afford 10 land
marks; the monotonous gray color of
the trees and leaves is without accent
or change for miles and miles, and the
hazy atmosphere hat fills the place
from decaying vegetation and tho
sweating balsam Of the eucalyptus add
to the unsubstantial effect of ones
surroundings. Siraying a little out

Not SO Long. but Quite as Wide.

Ii is customary for railroads to issue
annual passes 10 the highest officials
of other railroads in the same section
Of the country. A while ago the
president of little lumber railroad in
Minnesota line only four miles
long and built solely for the transport
tation of lumber called at the general
Office of the Great Northern Railway
at st. Paul, presented his card and
said that lie had issued an annual pas
to President James Hill of the Great
Northern and would like similar
courtesy. The Office employees were
thunderstruck by this display Of
nerve and politely refused TO honor
the request. The caller grew indig-
nant and demanded to see Jim" Hill
personally. Being ushered into Presi-
dent Hills private office hc again
stated his case and asked for an an
nual pass.
.'But, my dear sir, your road is not
passenger line, and pass over it is
worthless" said Mr.. Hill.
~ know it," replied the insistent
caller, "but it is customary TO honor
requests for courtesies. We railroad
magnates cannot afford to discriminate
against each other, you know. It's
a matter of regular form-disciplinc.
It's part of the railway business, you
SEQ, and VIC ought not to violate any
of the regular usuagcs of reputable
lincs. See?"
"Yes-perhaps; but don't you see
that you have no real railroad lines !?
Your is only jay freight line about
four miles long, beginning at a lum-
Der camp and ending the Lord only
knows where.
"Well, Mr.. Hill, I'm willing to adj
nit that my road isn't as long rs
yours; l never claimed it was. But
my road is just as wide as yours, sir,
and want you to keep that fact in
view. Don't You forget it, sir" q
"By George! l never thought of
that" cried Hill, and a minute later
the caller left the office with an annual
pass over the entire Great Northern
system. Chicago Mail.

As You Go Through Life.
Don't look for the flaws as you go through

Don't look for the flaws as you go through
life;
And even when you find them
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat blind
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has hint of light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding;
It is better by far to hunt for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current of life runs ever away
To the bosom OF Gods great ocean.
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers
course,
And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste curse on the universe
Don't butt at the storm with your puny
form
But bend and let it 60 DER you.
The world win never adjust itself
To suit your whms to the letter.
Some things must go wrong your whole life
long,
And the sooner you know 1t the better.
1t is folly to fight with the infinite,
And go under at last in the wrestle.
The wisest man shapes into Gods plan,
As the water shapes into vessel.

Valuable Bugs,

Secretary Lelong aud Quarantine
Officer GRAVY Of The State Board of
horticulture were in ccstacics yester-
day. All the afternoon they bent over
a inystcricus-looking set of boxes and
talked learnedly of bugs. There were
bugs in boxes, bugs on the tables.
bugs on chairs, bugs in the air and
bugs everywhere about the place. In
all there were about G000 beetles, and
of that number between 200 and 500
were alive. "Those insects" said Mr..
Lclong, 81 confidently believe will be
worth over 500, 900, 900 to the state.
When the Australian slip Monowai
arrived, she had on board the consign-
ment of little insects that are expected
to do so much good 10 the state. They
made the trip in the ice chest to keep
them dormant, Mr.. Lclong explained.
They were Immediately taken 10 the
State Board of Horticulture and were
sent of, after careful examination, TO
be colonized in Los Angeles. They
were sent here by Professor Albert
Rochelle, who went TO Australia, Now
Zealand and adjacent countries as the
accredited agent of the Department of
Agriculture and of the State Board of
Trade to search for predaceous and
parasitic insects. Professor Koebele
discovered the vidalia about three
years ago, ard their introduction into
the orchards of the state has made a
profit of countless millions. With
his present shipment lie sends a posi-
tive assurance that the beetles will be
found all that is necessary TO destroy
the dangerous insects Of the state. II
he be correct in his estimation of their
value, then the bugs that como upon
the Monowai will represent by far
the most important event in the horti-
cultural history of California.
There are representatives of thirty
species of beetles sent in the last lot.
They are all new TO the state, and lit
tic is known of their habits other than
the brief statement of their usefulness
written by Professor Rochelle. They
are fatal 10 the pests Of all citrus and
dcciduous fruits, apples, prunes, pears.
peaches, oranges, and in fact almost
every fruit that grows in the state.
One of the greatest problems in the
mission of Professor Koebelc was the
discovery of some destroyer of the
red scale. II4illinks thstamong the
insects which Che officers OF me Boalu
of Horticulture inspected so enthusi-
astically yesterday will be found tho
desired destroyer. So confident is he
in his opinion that he declares he will
not return TO the Unified States until
the arrivals prove TO be ali that he has
claimed for them San Francisco

How many women who fondly love
the golden symbol of their wedding
VOW know why they wear it on the
third finger Of the left hand. That
particular digit was chosen because it
was believed by the Egyptians to be
directly connected by a slender nerve
to the heart itself. And these an
6ient worshipers of Isis held this fin
ger sacred to Apollo and the sun, and
therefore gold was the metal chosen
for the ring.

The celebrated French poet, Saint
Folk, who, in spite of his large income,
was always in debt, sat one day in a
BARRIERS chair waiting to be shaved,
says London Tid-Bits. He was lathered,
when the door opened and tradesman
entered who happened to be one of the
poets largest creditors. No sooner did
this man see Saint Folk than he angrily
demanded his money. The poet com
posedly begged him not to make a
scene. Wont you wait for the
money until am shaved?" "Certainly,"
said the other pleased at the prospect.
Saint Folk then made the barber wit
ness of the agreement and immediately
took towel, wiped the lather from his
face and left the shop lie wore
beard to the end of his days.

A Cheap Franchise.

A correspondent of New York paper
gives it as his opinion that the cause of
the ebullition of anarchistic madness in
this country Is that "the franchise is too
cheap" OF course his remedy is TO re-
strict the right of suffrage. This wiseacre
would, in word. have nobody behind the
citizen-scidiers when these were called
uDon 10 put down Anarchists" The
power Of the country" is power which
the people respect. So the citizen-soldiers
are good reliance for the whole commu-
NIFTY when they not only represent the peo-
pie. but are the people themselves. The
Homestead rioters knew that the citizen
soldiers sent tbither to enforce the law
and keep order were workingnen. not rich
men. and represented the sons of toll at
the ballot-box as well as in the tented
Geld. The cheap franchise" is the very
thing that reminded the rioters OF the i'm
mense power that was represented by the
National Guards. as they are entitled. II
every man who enjoys "the cheap fran
chise" had been ordered out of the ranks
before the National Guards set out for the
scene of the late riot, there would have
been nobody left to go 20 Homestead. Ii
is the power behind the citizen-soldiers, as
il is the power of the posse eomitatus. that
renders such soldiers invaluable and
makes the posse comisdius respectable.

CALLS HIMSELF "ADLEE."
A Talk with MIR. Stevenson, of Illinois
About His Name.
INeM York Tincs.l


Ever since Adai +. Stevenson was nomi-
mated for the vice. presidency there has
been no end of discussion as TO how he
pronounced his first name.
Some have said that it was "Adlee,"
Others have contended that it was
"Adlay," Others have thought that 1t
might be Adj" ADD this has been the
most used form. A few have taken the
ground that the dictionary, including il in
its Biblical names, put II Ad-la-i, and.
therefore, that that must be the pronuncia-
ton of it,
But names take on new forms as years
roll by. and it is generally conceded that
mans own pronunciation of his name
should be the one in common use. There
fore a reporter explained TO Mr.. Stevenson
that large number OF people would like
to get his own pronunciation Of his first
name. Mr.. Stevenson smiled and said
ut is Adlee. The accent is on the first
syllable, and the other letters are not ac-
cented. As we use 1t. the last three letters
sound like lee.'"
1.-The name is a Biblical one. is 1t not 4" 4?
"Ohl yes, it comes from the Scrip
