Put His Trust in God

No part Of the life Of William E.

he trusteth in Thee" If any eason
were to be assigned for the long and
successful life Of Mr.. Gladstone. soon
to enter on his s9th year, it could hard
ly be better found than in the motto
above quoted, which has probably long
been not only before Mr.. Gladstone's
eyes. but in his heart aud thoughts

JUBILEE YEAR.
Tho Style Of Wearing Hair That VIII Prevail
Across the Water.

LONDON. England, March 5.--Thefe
has been SO much discussion In the
world Of fashion over the effort to
signaIizs the queens jubilee year By
reviving the high loop style Of hair
dressing worn in the year Of Queen
Victoria's coronation, that one OF the
principal coiffure experts Of the court
has succeeded in getting an opinion
from the queen on the snbject. Her
majesty, it is understood, favors a
modification Of the high loop style by
which the hair is rot drawn so closely
to the top Of the head, nor are the
loops made SO high. The waved hair
is supposed to be brushed back from
the forehead. and in its place tiny
fingIets should fall softly over th
temples in becoming pretty way
This style, having received the stamp
of royalty. will be practically de ,igHe'f,.
for at least the present year.

Of horticulturists from different parts
OF the country are assembled here to
consider and recommend The most sp-
spropriate federal and state legislation
for preventing the introduction and
diffusion OF noxious insects and fungi

up in arms over the appearance Of a
new pest in the shape OF small insect
known as the bark louise, or the San
Jose scale, which, they claim, has been
imported from the nurseries Of Ohio
and New York.
Meetingsto consider methods. Of ex-
terminating the pest have already been
held in many places, and demand
has been made upon the government
for q temporary prohibition Of all
nursery stock from the United States.
The insect 10 said to multiply Ia mil-
lions and TO quickly kill the tree or
shrub attacked.
