DEATH ON GRASsHOPPERs.
A Small Western Lizard That Makes Food
OF the Insects.

A Small Western Lizard That Makes Food
OF the Insects.
There is small reptile out west, says
the Washington Star. known as the
fence lizard, which catches and eats a
great many grasshoppers. The species
is very common in the infested regions
Skunxs are most active enemies of the
insect and have been known to ascend
trees for the purpose Of catching them
For obvious reasons il will hardly be
practicable to encourage these particu-
lar mammals, but no such objections
would apply to toads, which are apt to
swarm wherever the choppers" are,
gobbling the latter greedily. Many
planters in California employ flocks of
turkeys for the purpose of freeing their
orchards and vineyards of grasshoppers.
One turkey will destroy an almost in
credible number in single day. Incl
dentally the Birds are fattened at the
cheapest possible rate. They are SO
fond Of such food that sometimes they
devour too many and die of indiges-
ton.
Common barnyard fowls are likewise
very efficient destroyers Of grasshop-
pers. In one case referred to by a
special agent of the department of ag-
riculture an almond orchard containing
three hundred and sixty acres was at
tackled by migrating swarms last year.
The house and barn were situated in
the middle of the orchard, and the
chickens browsed around them over an
area Of six or eight acres, which, by Au-
gust, looked like green oasis in the
desert, the trees everywhere else hav-
ing been stripped of their leaves by the
yoracious insects

A REGAL MOTHER-lN-LAW.
Queen vintoris's Treatment Of Her Daugh-
ters' Hugbands.


However shorn Queen Victoria's au-
thority may be as queen, she retains it
all as q mother-in-law As her family is
large. her opportunities are great. To
the New York Evening Sun there is
something formidable in the idea of a
mother-in-law who is also a queen,
when she ia disposed, as is the queen. to
exercise her rights, both natural and in
herited, even unto her children's chill
dren of the third and fourth genera
tons. The details of daughters mar
riage bring mother and child into sweet
est communion and sympathy, but
these in the marriage of Louise. of
Wales. the queen took entirely into her
own hands and settled altogether to
her own satisfaction Doubtless she pre-
scribed the infant trousseau of Lady
Alexander Duff. The English journals
do not hesitate 10 allude to the satisfac-
ton of the duchess of Edinburgh that
owing to the royal mourning in Eng
land for the duke of Clarence. the we'd
ding of Marie. of Edinburgh, to the
crown prince Of Roumanla, may take
place at Coburg. which the Edinburghs
regard as their home. The reason
plainly assigned is that the duchess
