You might think 1t useless insect and
ought to be killed before 1t hasa chance
to sting anyone. A little more watch
ing will show you that you are wrong.
Wasps will help rid the place Of flies.
They sting the flies insensible, carry
them of to their cells and either eat
them or deposit them for the young to
feed on. Ont of doors wasps kill the
flies that injure fruit trees bv laying
eggs in the buds and causing ugly ex-
crescences ON the trees or worms In

tn. Emperor and the Artist.

Carpeaux lived in close intimacy with
the imperial family at the Tuileries, at
Compiegne and ut Fontainebleau. He
chung to his old patrons after their fall
and came over to Chiselhurst to give les
sons to Lulu. One of the most striking
specimens of his skill is n portrait of the
dead emperor in his coffin. Another and
more cheerful example will be found in
the original clay group i'll which the
prince imperial is playing with Nero.
his fathers favorite dog. The latter
could only be induced to sit to the
sculptor by the bride of plentiful sup
ply of cherries, while the boy was re-
warded for his patience by permission to
dabble with the Jumps of clay i'll the
studio Making little men of mud was
the child's great delight, and several
bits of his workmanship included in the
forthcoming show ut Paris display re-
markable aptitude.
At ball given in the Tuileries Car
peaux met a charming young lady, Mile
de Montfort. whose rank, rs he thought,
precluded his making an offer. Next
morning he presented himself very early
at the emperor's door and begged for an
immediate audience. Sire" he cried
ON gaining admission. "please to create
me baron" Napoelon Ill, much
amused, got him to tell his story. and
explained to him that title would in
no way enhance the value of his name.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Governor Brown will not put the
State 10 what he deems the unnecess-
airy expense of having special elections
in the First and Fifth Congressional
districts. This will leave two candi-
dates to be elected in each district
next fall-one for the long and the
other the short term. On the Eastern
Shore the State leaders, it is thought
here. are anxious TO recognize Clayton
J. Purnell, of Worcester. Mr.. Pur-
nell was candidate for judge in the
First judicial district, but the "old
judges" were re-nominated and Wor-
cester left out in the cold. Mr.. Pur-
nell, however, took his medicine. AMI.
turning in. worked faithfully for the
ticket, so that Worcester gave larger
majority than any of the other coun-
ties. The state leaders would like
MIR. Purnell TO take a position in the
coming Congressional contest, and il
he will consent To do so he is sure ..
having Worcester county behind him.

The above item is news TO the peo-
pie of Worcester county where Mr.
Purnell resides, but it would seen,
from it that politicians of prominence
have not forgotten the memorable ju-
dicial contest of last year in which
this county was so much interested.
IL is likewise apparent that our coonty
has claims for recognition which Others
appreciate. We do not know that
Mr.. Purnell has desire TO represent
the First District of Maryland in
Congress, even if he knew he could be
nominated; nor can we authoritatively
state that he will be candidate be
fore the coming Democratic Conven.
ton, for we are not informed, but we
do knew that should the wheel of for
tune drop the prize OF nomination
in the lap Of this county, and Mr.
Purnell should be the man to pick il
up, the Democrats of the Eastern
Shore need feel no alarm a. to the
result Of the campaign. for it would

The Thin Man and His Disastrous Ambitions
to Pose For Hercules.
The Piazza di Spagna. one of the fin
est squares i'll Rome. is the capital of
the English speaking colony. Some of
its older members grumble good deal
at the manner in which the forestieri
have taken possession of this beautiful
piazza, fogetting that th,g themselves
We're the pioneers of the peaceful con-
quest A broad magnificent double stair
way leads from this place to the terrace
of the Trinita de Month above. Here the
models congrcgate. and here the artist
comes to find his Mary. or his Gree. his
Pan or his st. John. They are all here.
The gods and the demigods of Greece,
the saints and martyrs of Christianity
personated by whole families of models.
A graybeard who once served the paint
er for Narcissus il now accounted the
best patriarchal model in Rome, while
his wife, in her youth the original of .
famous Psyche, is now being painted rs
the oldest of the Fates. Children and
grandchildren have followed the same
calling, and the babies of this family are
in great demand, because they can pose
almost rs soon rs their eyes are open.
The story of Pietro. the hopelessly fat
model of many pictures of bulky monks,
has a certain moral He began life rs
tho very thin man. He posed for enact
ated hermits and dying saints, but he
was such living skeleton that he was
only available in rare cases, the modern
taste being more for Drawn and muscle
than for skin and bone Pietro finally
made heroic resolve. He left Rome
and went up into his own little native
town in the hills, where he spent many
months in transforming himself from the
very thin man into the very strong man.
He often describes his training, which.
if original, was mt least effectual.
There being 10 gymnasium mt hand,
he used two chairs for parallel bars, and
having no trainer invented many curl
Gus and useful exercises. by the aid of
which he, who had left Rome Titho-
nus, returned TO it Hercules. Now, alas,
he has all unwillingly developed into
another stage and become so enormous
~ fat that he is hardly more often avail
able to the artists than he was in the
first stage of his career.-Rome Cor.

PROPHETS OF EVIL.


The MESSENGER has again and
again asserted that the country and
the people IN it were all right. and the
business depression would right itself.
1t is simply question of supply and
demand. We have manufactured
more than this country could consume
and our export trade being crippled
by the depression of trade in foreign
countries, rs natural consequence
We have been made to suffer. Cur
esteemed contemporary. the Baltimore
Morning Herald. expresses our ideas
in regard To the theories of Henry
George and his ilk in these terms:
1T is not at all strange that the
present crisis in industrial affairs
should call firth the pessimist from
his hiding place. The man who sees
disaster in the sunshine and evil in
the mist that may happen to fleck the
summer sky could not allow such an
opportunity as the gathering of the
industrial armies, the strikes in the
mining region and the failure Of Con-
gress TO act upon the tariff bill to pass
without the enumeration of some of his
gloom, forebodings. 1t is period in
the history of America when the
prophet Of evil must assert himself
il he expects to challenge a hearing.
The fact, therefore. that Edward
Bellamy. Henry George and Father
McGlynn should, ON the same day,
prophesy the general downfall of
things social and industrial is not at
all to be wondered nj. The author of
Looking Backward naturally sees
in the assembling OF the industrial
armies the first steps TO nationalism.
The originator of the singlc-tax theory
naturally comes to the front at this
time to declare that the enfranchise
ment of the race is ut hand in the
overthrow Of old systems and in the
Inauguration OF single tax upon land
values, while Father McC;lynn finds
the present a fitting time to reassert
his Socialistic doctrines, and To give
the weight of his personal influence Ia
the destruction of the existing order
and the upbuilling of that hazy
scheme of Socialism of which he is the
avowed apostle.
Ii is To be noticed that the utterances
of these three representative pessimists
are lugubrious in tone. They profess
IL believe that society is going TO
pieces. and that the new order of
things, rs each of them sees il, will be
builded on the ruins Of what now is.
The outlook is not particularly
bright, but those who have read the
history of modern civilization to some
purpose are not at all convinced that
the state, whether considered socially,
politically or industrially. is in its
decadence. Society is subject to won
derful changes at times. but the history
of the world thus far shows that no
state has gone backward or gone
down, except in the frightful and
inexplicable corruption of its rulers
and the efieminacy of its people.
America has not reached that point,
and there will be neither the whole
sale destruction Of the state and socie-
" nor the incoming OF any such
civilization rs the sethree men predict.
Change and progress are in the very
air. but not through ruin and des-
truction."
