Thank ORerin1G.

When there came to the household ol the Duke and Duchess of Portland baby daughter some years ago, the duchess in- sisted on the dukes converting the gift of diamonds he contemplated purchasing for her into an hospital where the tenants on his estate might be cared for Now that son has come to inherit the name and title, the duke has remitted 20 per cent of the rents of the tenants on the Welbeck estate and has directed his agent to prevent the carrying out of the proposed baptismal present from the ten ants to the infant marquis, because in these times such a gift would be serious tax on the resources of his friends.-Ex- change.

that the poor ones We're not those that

price was $50 and the poorest COW Of

ophizes that the most experienced man
cannot always tell by the looks of a

Some years ago i, melodrama was

the chief actor in which had made him
self, from his naughty and Overbear-

In the last scene he was supposed to
visit the t0mbs of his ancestors. In
the center of the stage, upon a marble
pedestal. stood the statue of his father.
A heavy fold Of drapery covered the
figure. Enter Albert, who thus adj
dressed the statue:
Il am here once again to gaze upon
those features which in life so often
looked on me with tenderest affection
Father, thy mourning son now comes
to pay thee alteration. Let me remove

The Bean WeeVfl.

says that his attention has recently
been called to this weevil. It works in
much the same way that the pea vali-
ETY. does. only instead of u single weevil
in each bean there may sometimes be
rs many a.; twenty. The beans show
small holes in them of about thu. same
size and appearance as those in the
buggy peas.
4 This bean weevll, the professor re-
marks, is IN entirely different insect
from the one: that attacks the pea.
That is bad enough. as every pea grew
er is well aware. But illc bean weevfl
develops under the name Of Legion,
and wherever it gets ), foothold will
do great damage to stored beans, as
( successive generations may occur dur
ing the winter.
We trust that further observation
may reveal some effective means Of
destroying this bean pest, for the sake
not only of Boston, but of the entire
country. 5sz
