The capital Of the nation is infested
with human insect that devotes its en-
ergies to boring into places where it is
not wanted. Possibly its kindred exists
elsewhere, but there has been 50 much
freedom of access to the houses Of men
whose careers depend upon popularity
and so much dread among those in high
places of unwittingly trampling upon
influential feelings, that the breed is es-
pecially encouraged there. Then, again,
there are two notable features which
mark the society of the capitalize pres
ence of officials and statesmen who are
known far and wide, and the absence of
men who are distinguished in the sci
ences and the arts.-H. L. Nelson in

ACME JOTTINGS

Mr.. Fred Zobrist visited the Bay cities
| this week.
Miss Ennis, of Wickersham, is visiting
Mrs. Huntington.
Miss Grace Wilcox. of Licking, is a
guest of Mrs. Morris McCarty
Mrs. Maud Shinn, of Everson, is Wis
iting her aunts, Mrs. Stephens aud Mrs.
McCarty.
Mr.. John Clark went to the Bay to wait
for good weather to finish building Mr..
McCarty's residence.
Mr.. William Huntington says he can
afford to sell eggs cheaper now He's got
a right new boy at his house, and treats
are in order.
Mrs. Savage, landlady at the miners
camp, has gone to New Whatcom for a
vacation of couple of weeks, until work
in the mine is resumed.
April showers bring May flowers. 3"
We will certainly have the flowers. Very
few of our farmers have their planting
done on account of the showers.
Mr.. McCarty brought out fine pair of
horses and wagon, and assumes quite a
farmers air. He looks about as well as
he did behind set of books or managing
street car line.
Mr.. L. G. Nicklin was seen in our midst
this week, we presume, looking over the
country and the most 1eaSlOle route Tor

papers.
A conversation was overheard between
a young lady and gentleman and ran as
follows: Young Cent have hen that
wants to set, but haven't any eggs to set
her on. Young Lady-Well, I'll buy
some china eggs and you can set her on
them. They are cheaper and will last
for two settings. Young Gent-Hes,
that'll do, then she will hatch out lot OF
Young Cinnamon. Imagine her surprise
when she sees she will have to scratch for
Cinnamon instead Of chicks
Not much uneasiness is displayed in the
matter of our school district division by
the petitioners. An appeal will be taken
before the county commissioners court
by the opposing side on the 10Th of May,
but the petitioners are not afraid of the
commissioners not sustaining the county
superintendent decision, for right is
right, and always wins in the end. This
same thing came before the old board, but
we think through political ambition two
of them reversed the superintendent's de-
cisOn.

African rruit Ruined by Insects.

African frult RUINED Dy lnsects
Half measures are of no avail in deal
ing with the parasitic fly ceratitis-that
scourge of the fruit farmers in South
Africa. Mr.. William Tuck of Grahams-
town, who expresses this opinion, is a
high authority on frait farming. He
tells us that in the eastern province
they can never depend on any fruit ex-
cept grapes coming to ripeness without
damage from fly Larvae, though where,
owing to high altitude-2,000 feet to
5000 and over-there are sharp frosts
every winter such fruits as can stand
the cold are fairly free from the plague,
because the Larvae cannot tide over the
frost
1t sometimes happens that scarcely a
peach ripens in the whole province with
out worm inside. Mr.. Tuck is for he
roic remedies. He is decidedly of opin-
ion that if a general and perfect destruc-
ton of all the fruit grown in any one
year could be brought about by the COM
mon consent of the whole body of fruit
growers the fly might be stamped out,

tiers of Liveliness.
One of the most interesting studies in
human nature about the city is the man
who lives in hotels. l do not mean the
commercial traveller or the man who is
engaged in business of any kind, but the
man who has nothing to do but to look
around him and enjoy himself. He may
actually enjoy himself, too, for all |
know. hope he does. He is interest
ing as an illustration of what some men
call enjoyment
The fashionable hotels of New York
and unfashionable hotels for that mat
ter-are the shelter of many men who
are not in business other than the bust
ness of looking pretty and observing the
rest of the world move. l do not say
they are the homes of such men-they
merely shelter and feed them.
In many instances this life is that Of a

the wild, hilarious career offered by a

he lived ON there, a calm, unruffled ex-

AS a guest such man is a jewel, and
as may reasonably be supposed he was
not likely to be harassed by unnecessary
attentions. When he died and it was
found that he was a gentleman of indie

The Famous Glass.

sGlamis and Thane of Cawdor: the
greatest is behind In our mention on
Friday, of some of the distinguished men
who graduated at Bowdoin College in
the same class with the venerable James
w. Bradbury of Augusta, one eminent
name---if not, indeed, the most eminent
of them all-.was inadvertently omitted !;
viz, that of the tpoet Longfellow.
Longfellow makes notable addition to
the list of those members of the class
who attained eminence, but the class was
remarkable one, and even with the adj
dition of Longfellow's name the list is by
no means exhaustive. The class num-
bered only thirty-seyen, and yet it in
cluded, in addition to the distinguished
names mentioned on Friday, Cullen Saw
telle and Samuel P. Benson, who became
members of the National House of Rep
resentatives; George B. Cheever, the dis
tinguished clergyman and author; and
Commodore Horatio Bridges. The last
named was particular friend of Haw-
thorne's, and is the author of that de-
lightful book, justissued, entitled ''Per-
sonal Recollections of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. William Hale, member of
the class, and who is spoken of in Com
modore Bridges book as lone of Haw-
thorne's most intimate friends died at
Dover, N. H.. on Thursday last The
number of surviving members of the
GLASS is now reduced to two---Mr. Bridge
and Mr.. Bradbury.
