Spraying Prohibited in Canada.

Orchardists who are contemplating
spraying their fruit trees for the pro.
tection OF the fruit from insect pests
will be interested In knowing that a
law to prevent the spraying Of the
blossoms OF fruit trees has recently
been enacted In the province OF Ontario,
Canada. 1t has been found that the
blossoms sprayed with Paris green oil
other poison have been destructive &c
the honey-gathering bees, aside from
the fact that the presence Of the poison
In the blossom may result In the pres
ence OF poison Ia the honeycomb. A
second serious objection to the preva-
lent custom Is that the poison has heen
known to present an obstacle to the
complete fertilization OF fruit.

ssDear dear r. exclaimed George Fl.

there are in the world anyhow.
Every small and large town he's it's
star liar, and my old town had one.
NY old town was Chatham, Mass.
There was when was boy, an old
fellow Of the name Of George San
ders. who wore without an effort the
silver star Of champion long distance
liar for the town and neighboring
vicinity. This fellow had been, ac-
cording 10 himself, lost 80 times in
great ocean wrecks. He had wan
dered naked and starving up and
down cannibal islands and been res
cued in most providential manner.
Sharks and whales had vainly har-
bored designs against his life, and in
variably he had led them a bootless
chase. In doing all this he had also
established his star reputation. One
day George came into the town drag
ging after him an immense Goldfish.
He stopped at all the houses, he
was 80 well known, and calling out
the inhabitants pointed with pride
to the fish and said: Now, If l had
told you people had caught a fish of
that size you wouldn't have believed
It, George knew his reputation well,
and he knew that to gain the actual
credit for his catch that he would
have to work for 1t. 1t always tickled
me to think that the biggest liar in
town should catch the biggest fish
and then be compelled to drag it all
around town to prove it. st. Louis

AN INDIAN IN THE CHAIR.
Amusing Scene in the House of
REPRESENTATIVES.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-There was an
amusing scene in the chamber of the
house this morning prior to the meet
ing. A full-booded Indlan-Chief
Wolff, of the state of Washington-was
seeing the sights of the capital, and of
course his steps tended toward the
large building located on Capitol hill.
Here he was taken in charge by Frank
German, an employee of the house, who
has humorous side to his nature. The
gaudily bedecked chief, with feathers
waving over him, land who used minia
ture feather buster as fan, was
escorted to the chair, aud took the
speakers seat. He occupied it with
dignity, although he was somewhat at
sea as to the use of the gavel. He mis-.
took it for pipe, and the end piece
went naturally to his mouth. He was
corrected, and made several attempts to
call the house to order. A facetious
member-a Democrat, of course-sug-
gested that this was the first savage
who bad occupied the speakers chair
since the retirement of Speaker Reed.
He was then escorted to Bourke Cock
rams seat, and, amid the laughter and
applause of all present, figured for ten
minutes as typical Tammany brave.
