Opinions on the Platform.

The Atchison Champion of last
Sunday was a screaming eagle for
republican candidates and the plat
form; but for the life of us, Andy

GUS that the monometalist gold enthu-
siast Is just as we'll pleased with the
platform IN you evidently are.--Be-
lott Courier, (Rep)
The platform adopted by the Kan
sas Republican state convention at To-
peka, has the merit Of brevity, but is
without another cardinal virtue. It
favors protection IN every form,
though apparently without under
standing the subject, and straddles
every other question it touches, Pro-
hibltion and woman's suffrage are
alike ignored absolutely, and the
preachers who pleaded and the wo-
men who warbled about the justice of
equality and morality had their labor
for their pains. 1t was strange de-
liyerNnce for {, Kansas republican
convention. The courage that was
wont to bleed for morality and equal
ity seems to have oozed out at the
finger-tips Of the practical politicians
who determined the proceedings.
Upon the subject Of bimetallIsm

marvel Of lnsincerity and impudence.

How She Became a Doctor.

My uncle left me sole heir of all
his property, which the lawyer inn
patiently explained would have been
a considerable fortune had uncle ever
demanded anything like a fair return
for his services AS it was, decided
to sell the little old home and come
to New York to study medicine.
Taking the advice of friends, / put
my small patrimony out at interest in
a mortgage, and then 1 went in for
the October entrance examinations at
a Woman's Medical College. AS l
was eighteen years of age, of good
moral character, and could get
through any questions on arithmetic,
grammar, geography, photography,
American history, English compost
ton, and the elements of natural
philosophy or physics, I stood en-
titled to serious consideration. I
found then, to my joy, that what dear
old uncle had taught me Of Latin
and chemistry counted everything in
my favor and in order to pass with
out soar / studied up for the regu-
lar college examination, and entered
on my three years. course of study.
1T has been no child's play, can
tell you; it's long and hard row to
hoe, is medicine, but l dare say l
loved it from the first, and according
to Uncle Donald's wish I most earn
estly interested myself in the ills of
little children. Sometimes I had a
close shave to make two ends meet.
/ allowed myself five hundred and
fifty dollars a year to live upon, and
at the college, with everything includ-
ed, the cost was two hundred year.
That didn't afford me any great mar
gin, you can see, for pleasures or fine
gowns; and it was little hard for me
when most of the students / knew
had homes Of their own in which they
were at small expense. But l have
climbed throughby dint of not get
ting discouraged. I vanquished my
examinations easily, and now what 1
am hoping for IS an appointment to

They Were Consistent.

When the Yale athletes were in New

of the creed of these young men never
to express surprise at any joke at their

was determined to compel departure
from this law and conceived her plan
with that object III view. The women
of the party had been notified and were
bound over 80 silence until some con-,
mcnt should be made by the broad
clothed guests. AT IN eXquisitely APP
pointed table tho party sat down. The
buffers first served coffee, liqucurs and
candies. Next came ices. Then salads.
Talk flowed OH brilliantly and easily.
Evidently there was no stupidity OH tho
part of the servants i'll serving thus con-
trary to established etiquette, for the
hostess remained unconcerned So did
the Yale men. The reversed dinner went
through its courses without hitch or jar,
until after the soup and Just before tho
CLAIMS We're served. Then the Yale men
asked to be excused. Their hostess ac-
Quicsccd with n broad touch of wonder
Oh her face. In 10 minutes the team
filed back into the dining room, each
with his swallowtail' on ''hind part

reversed dinner. The surface of uncon-
Germ was broken down. The hostess was
holsted by her own petard, but the table
rang with applause. --Argonaut.

THE PEAR MlDGE.
The Damage Done by This Pest and tho
Best Way to Hold 1t In Check.

Best Way to Hold It In Check, '
The pear indigo is one of the insects
which have been introduced into the
United States within recent years and
are causing good deal of injury in the
eastern states.
The adult insect or fly is described as
much resembling n diminutivo mosoui-
to. 1t makes its appearance very early
IN tho season before the pear blossoms
open. The female deposits her eggs in
the latter by piercing tho petals or tho
oalyx. The indigo larvae live Oh tho
substance Of the pear tissue, DESTROYING
the seed and checking tho growth of the
fruit, which decays and drops in early
summer. Our illustration shows q sound
young pear and one deformed by tho pear
nudge larvae.
The great difficulty encountered in
lighting this insect lies in the fact that
there is no period at which it is within
reach OF ordinary insecticides. The eggs
are laid i'll the bud before it opens, and
tho young Larvae get into the heart of
tho fruit before it is fully formed. The
adult fly docs not feed and is hence be-
You'd our reach. 1t is only after tho in
july 10 NohS Iiittt tHc lllSoCC goes under
ground and within reach of destructive
agencies.
AS preventive measure it is recon-
mended that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears are we'll set and that
every infested or suspected pear be
picked off and completely destroyed,
while if an orchard is generally infested
tho following practice is recommended
Cultivate as usual, or if the orchard
is i'll grass or clover plow under after
Juno 10 as soon as may be. Top dress
with kainit 1000 pounds to the acre to
benefit trees rs we'll rs to kill the in
sects. AS soon as proper, say early in
August, sow crimson clover. This will
use up the potash not required by the
fruit trees and will store nitrogen as
we'll as occupy the ground Early tho
following spring turn this sod under us
deeply as may DO proper. It should be
done before tho pear bwss are developed
i'll order to head off and destroy any
midges then i'll the pupa state near tho
surface of the soil. This practice is at
the same time the best for the benefit of
the orchard.-St Louis Dispatch.

The Crafty Old Gentleman Now Owns About
1,4OO,000 Square Miles.
The latest acquisition of African ter
rltory gives Great Britain an unbroken
line across the length of Africa from
the Mediterranean and the Nile to tho
extreme point of the continent. In all,
this territory, held i'll various ways,
from Cape Colony up to tho "occupa-
ton" of Egypt, is in extent about 1, 400
600 square miles and has q population
of 80, 600, 900. In the Nile valley it in
cludcs incomparably the best of north
Africa In Uganda it holds tho key to
the lakes of central Africa, nearly rs
large as our own lake system Tho new
treaty gives it the high land west of
Lake Tanganyika, considerably higher
and healthier than the eastern in Ger
man hands
The new conquests of the British
South Africa company add the great ia
blelands of the interior of subtropical
Africa, in much of which white men
live. Lastly, there is Cape Colony, the
only vital European settlement in all
Africa. AS it stands this great high
way holds two third, Of NJ of Africa liz
which Europeans can live and carry on
efficient administration. 1t has the
most fertile tract i'll the continent in
Egypt, its healthiest i'll Capo Town, its
greatest gold mines and the only region
from which tropical Africa can be con-
trolled.
Still moro important is its relation to
African water courses. A steamer can
start ut Alexandria and run, when tho
