YAxKrox, s. D.. Oct. 9.-The Peoples
party Of this state is still figuring on
fusion with the Democrats. Members
OF the Peoples party who believe in
fusing with tho Democrats are con-
siderably wrought up owe the belief
that Chairman Peterman, OF the state
central committee, has been bought by
the Republican national committee. An
investigation is quietly being made, and
Peterman will be deposed ii the rumors
prove true. He has bitterly opposed a
fusion or concessions OF any kind, while
other members OF the committee are
unanimously in favor OF such a move
mont in exchange for four electors. The
Democratic candidate for governor has
expressed a willingness to withdraw in
favor Of the Peoples party candidate.

Came Back In n Saucer.

When l was in Atlanta, Ga. some
time ago. said Mr.. COnStine, was in
vited by a friend to visit a peach can
merry in which he was employed.
After had completed my tour of the
cannery | missed valuable charm
that l had been wearing on my watch
chain. l was sorry to lose it, for it
was the gift of a dead sister. l Of
fered liberal reward, but to no pur-
pose. l returned home, and gave up
all hope Of recovering it. About two
months ago L came to the Pacific
coast on business. / arrived i'm Seat
tie about two weeks ago, since which
time l have been visiting friends who
live near Yesler avenue.
Yesterday noon l was down town
and stepped into restaurant for
lunch. After eating Il very hearty
lunch called for peaches and cream.
l started to eat the peaches, and was
in the act of cutting one when the
spoon struck some hard substance. !
worked the substance out and held it
up to the light. 1t was my missing
charm. }
The story is strange one, and !
certainly should hardly be willing to
believe it myself if it were told to me
by a stranger, but nevertheless every
word Of it is strictly true. The only
way l can account for the mysterious
disappearance and recovery Of the
jewel is that it became detached when
l was watching the operation of
new coring and pairing machine in
which l was much interested, and fell
among the peaches without my noting
it and was thus strangely recovered.

The POrcuDine.

Who has not heard the backwOods
hunter entertain his Open-mouthed
and equally as ignorant audience
with stories Of our gentle and inof-
fensive" pOrcupine, who threw his
quilts until the dogs were covered and
left in disgust, bowling with pain, 5"
or some other "bOsh" to the same
effect. How positively he makes the
assertion. There can be no doubt
that hunters of this ilk frequently
say "bear" when they have seen
nothing more formidable than a
harmless "grOund-hOg. Nature ar
mored our porcupine in manner that,
when excited and with Spines raised,
woe to the quadruped or biped either,
for that matter, who comes i'm con-
tact with this bundle of prickers.
"Porky's' body is covered with thick
layer Of fat, in which the quilts or
spines are rather insecurity fastened.
Each spine has a set Of minute barbs
at the outer end. But touch spine
and it sticks, and can only be re-
moved by force. A dog or fox hat
lacks experience and undertakes a
meal at the pOrcupines expense
usually ends by filling with spines not
only his mouth, but his head and
paws as well, and not unfrequently
death results from his temerity.-

Earthquakes In Japan.

During the nine years and six
months preceding December, 1884,
there had occurred in Japan, accord
ing to the official statement published
by the government, $50 earthquakes,
averaging one earthquake for every
six days and six hours. Professor
Milne was able to make the average
even greater than this, according to
4 writer in the Illustrated American.
He could trace an average of an earth
quake per day in Nagasaki, in the ex-
treme south of the Japanese Archi-
pelagO. Probably the official statis-
tics were compiled from the returns
Of officials from all over the country,
in which case only those shocks which
caused loss Of life or damage to prop
erty would be included. II this hypO-
thesis be correct, we should have an
average of more than one earthquake
per week, which was so violent that
it caused injuries to life or property
sufficiently serious to attract the at
tentiOn of the local authorities, and.
in their judgement, to require re-
port to the central government.
Earthquakes being so common peo-
pie scarcely notice them unless they
be extraordinary severe ones. For
instance, Miss Bird in her "Unbe-
aten Tracks" thus summarily dismiss
es two: "While we were crossing the
court there were two shocks of earth
quake; all the golden wind bells which
fringe the roofs rang softly, and a
number of priests ran into the tenn
pie and beat various kinds of drums
for the space of half an hour"
AS every one knows, Japan is the
very hearth of earthquakes. In 1854
more than sixty thousand people lost
their lives in consequence Of one of
these great terrestrial catastrOphes,
and it has been calculated that from
ten to twelve earthquakes, each last
ing several seconds. occur every year.
besides numerous others Of too light
a nature to be worthy of remark.

Useful Insects.

Nearly all the lace-wings, which
include the ant-lions, aphis-liOns,
dragon flies, etc, are a benefit, living
wholly on other insects, and so help
preserve our crops. Most OF the To-
Gust order are destructive, yet even
here we find the curious preying
mantis, common at the South, with
its jaw-like anterior legs, one OF the
first Of predaceous insects. True, it
attacks bees also, though it certainly
does much more good than harm.
Several bugs, like the great wheel
bug and the soldier bug, feed exclu-
sively ON other insects.
OF the beetles, the beautifully
spotted lady-bird beetle, the black,
long-legged ground beetles, the quick,
fierce tiger beetles, and few Others,
are valuable aids in holding our in
sect pests in check. One may re-
peatedly see the grubs Of the ground
beetles eating cut-worms. The good
work of the pretty lady-bird beetles
in destroying the pestiferous plant
lice can hardly be too much appre-
ciated. OF the twowinged flies we
have the tachina flies, which are in
ternal parasites on other insects; they
resemble in form and color the house
flies. to which they are closely related.
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1892-01-28

These also prey upon cut-worms, lay.
ing their eggs on the caterpillars, and,
as these eggs hatch, the maggots eat
into their host and destroy its life.
Two other families Of two winged
flies do much good in eating other
insects. The robber flies are so fierce
and strong they destroy even the
honey bee, while the cOnical maggot
OF the pretty yellow-banded surplus
flies feed upon the plant lice to an ex-
tent surpassed by few other insects;
they are nearly or quite equal to the
lady-bird beetles as aphis destroyers.
Among the highest order of insects
the one that includes the bees and
waSps-we have the ichnuemon flies
and the chalcids-wasp-like insects
that are parasites and do incompar-
able good. They are Of all sizes and
prey upon almost all kinds of insects.
They are far more helpful to the
farmer than are the tachina flies.
They saved the wheat crop in Ohio,
Michigan, and Indiana in 1889. The
wasps also belong to this order. and
do much good: indeed, we think we
may say that the waSps are only our
friends. They are dreaded needlessly.
for. unmolested. they rarely, If ever.
sting. We have seen waspS carry off
slugs and tent caterpillars in great
numbers. Every farmer should be-
come acquainted with these friends
and learn their habits, that he may
help-not hinder-their good worry &

There is bear kin on exhibition
in HudsOn's gun store that takes the
cake. 1t is nine and a half feet in
length and eight and half across in
the widest place. The bear that wore
this skin was grizzly and he lived in
fl:-J7 Alaska. Judging from the
Of the skin he must have been as
5e Dis two ordinary cows and could
not have weighed less than $500
pounds. 1t is by far the largest bear
skin that has ever been seen in Port
land, and even old bear hunters who
are told of its dimensions shake their

they see it with their own eyes

South American Railroads.

Railroads did not begin in South
America until 1864, but in the little
more than qu9 ter Of a century that
has since elapsed their growth has
been extraordinarily rapid. Brazil
has now 5000 miles Of railroad In
operation, and several thousand more
in course of construction or planned.
Great rivers favorable to navigation
traverse the best parts Of the conti-
nent, so that the facilities for COM
municatiOn are even better than the
railroads constructed would indicate.

THE KOlA NUT.
Dan 1t Be Made to Take tho Place OF Tea
and Coffee:

Dan 1t BE Made to Take the Place OF Tea
and Coffee:
A well-known medical journal is
recommending the kola nut as a
substitute for tea and coffee. The
nut, it is said, contains little tannin
and not much more caffeine. 1t is
claimed that it will soon take the
place of tea and coffee entirely.
A botanist, who has made a special
study of the nut and its properties,
said to a Cincinnati Times-Star re-
porter: at is a mistake to say that
the nut will take the place Of tea and
coffee. 1t has an astringent taste
that is unpleasant, and / do not be-
lieve that it will ever be used extern
sively, or at all, in civilized countries
The kola nut is native of the coasts
of Africa, but has been introduced
into and thrives we'll in the West In
dies and Brazil. 1t grows on a tree
forty feet high, which produces pale
yellow flowers spotted with purple.
The leaves Of the tree are six or eight
inches long, and are pointed at both
ends. The fruit consists of five long.
slender pods radiating from common
center. One of these when broken
open is found to contain several nuts
somewhat similar to hazslnutS and of
about the same size. The nuts are
solid, being slightly softer toward the
center than on the outside.
"The natives of the countries where
tho vi
purposes. They pass for money in
Africa. They are also used as a SYM
Dol of friendship and hate, the light
colOred ones signifying the former,
and the dark the latter. They are
supposed to aid digestion, and it is
the practice to chew Il small bit be-
fore eating a meal. They allay thirst,
and if small piece be chewed and
held in the mouth while drinking, the
most bitter and stagnant water can
be taken, and will taste sweet and
agreeable. l doubt if this quality of
rendering stagnant water pure is pos
sible by the nuts. l rather think
that the astringent taste of the nut
paralyzes the gustatory nerves mo-
mentarily, and for that reason the
water is not tasted. Hunger they are
also supposed to allay, but they do no
more than paralyze the nerves. They
have stimulating effect, and when
going on long marches the natives
chew bits of the nuts continually,
and with about the same effect as if
Intoxicating liquor had been used,
though without the same bad results.
Powdered kOla nut is sprinkled in
cuts and wounds and has a healing
effect.
"a chemical analysis of the nuts
shows them to contain 20 parts of
caffeine and but a fraction of part
Of tannin. No. it will never be used
in the place of tea and coffee. Its
taste and chemical properties are
against it."
