EUROPEAN CABBAGE BUTTERFLY.
Are Already 20 be Found Extensively
Here.
Since the first discovery here by
Prof. Koebele of the European
cabbage butterfly, the day of bis
arrival from the States in the last
Moana, he has been looking about
quite a good deal. He now finds
that there are great many OF
these butterflies in Honolulu.
Prof. Koebele thinks that next
year, complaints about their des-
tructive habits will be heard on
all sides. He hopes that the
parasite he has Just introduced,
will get in its work quickly.
This cabbage butterfly was in
trcduced into California few
years ago from some of the Eu
ropean countries and now the
farmers there are crying out.
Although the importation of Cali
fornia cabbages to Honolulu is
not very large, still enough have
come to have concealed some spe
cimens of this pest.
Prof. Koebele is very much
pleased over the disappearance to
large extent OF theJapanese b ell
tie, the terror of flower gardeners.
Statements come in from all sides
to the effect that the rose bushes
aud other plants that the beetles
took special delight in destroying,
are coming up in fine shape
again.
There is however, some mis-
giving in regard to the final eff.
cheney Of the parasite that has
been set to work on the Japanese
beetle. The beetles with the
exception of a few may be killed
off, leaving, the parasites with
nothing to feed on. This will of
course, result in their death. The
few remaining beetles may then
reproduce so that in a little while
the pest may be upon the land
again.

TAX ON DOCTORS.
Attorney General Says That Iunernnt
Heaters May lie Taxed by
Both state and City.

The assistant Encouragement has
decided that itinerant doctors can be
taxed by cities and towns in the state.
The law provides that they may be
allowed to practice on paying the state
$3.50 and receiving certificate from
the state board of medical examiners.
The powers granted to city and town
councils includes one to tax itinerant
doctors. At LIE Mars the question of
whether or not cities could tax these
men after they are granted certifi-
cate by the state to do business and
have paid their tax arose, and Attor-
ney +. L. Bedell wrote to the attor-
ney-general about it. Mr.. Redman
holds that the towns and cities have
the power to tax them. However, they
can ply their vocation without inter-
ference outside of towns and cities,
which is a greater part of the state.

! The Idiosyncrasy Of Jones

TONES was ill-sick unto death, he
u thought; but his wife said it was
either incipient govt, or the war. You
always know with Jones how his bust
ness is going on, because in the morn
ing as he travels to town his de-
meanor and conversation reflect the
sort of time he had on change the day
before. If he is buoyant and humor-
Gus, and smokes a cigar, and will talk
and keep you from reading your news
pepper, then be sure things are well
with him, and "Kaffirs," or what not,
are doing all they should do; but if he
sits silent and gloomy, utters cynical
thoughts on men and the weather, and
forgets to light his pipe, then the pre-
vious day was doubtless blank, or
worse than blank. But Jones de-
clared himself to be ill, and he went to
Harley street and took advice, and re-
turned from the payment of two
guineas with prescription and a
regime.
Three days afterward I heard all
about it. He entered the train hag-
gard and miserable; he lacked
strength to open his morning paper,

Violate the Law.

1t has developed from statements
made by c. e. Fisk, general agent for
the American Tobacco company, that
the Iowa cigarette law is to be violated
not only in Des Moines, but throughout
the entire state. Orders for cigarettes
have been taken from over 1000 deal
ers in all parts of the state, and to
get these orders the company has given
each dealer a contract agreeing to de-
fend him in case Of arrest for selling
the cigarettes without paying the 5000
license. When the company tested the
law before and made the interstate
commerce original package plea the
supreme court decided that when a
dealer opened box containing the
small packages of cigarettes the form
of the original package was lost. With
this as u basis, the company has de-
cided that each small box can be sent
direct to the dealers as an original
package, and protection under the in
terstate law will be afforded

CARRIED HIS OWN TURKEY.
An AristOcratic Dignitary Who Was
Not Too Proud to he Seen
with a Basket.

Chief Justice Marshall was not fash
ionable, though he resided in the aris-
tocratic quarter of Richmond. Thor
oughly loyal to the constitution of the
United States, to which his interpre-
tation gave those liberal powers nec-
essary to it's durability, he was law
unto himself in dress and personal hab-
it's.
In those days the gentlemen of Rich
mond, who were heads of families, did
their own mark citing, each attended
by negro footman bearing a large
basket. But Marshall carried his own
market basket-except when he hap
pened to forget it, which was often.
Then, instead of shouldering the filed
basket, he loaded his hands, arms and
pockets with the provisions he had
bought.
Marion Harland, in her book on
"Some Colonial Homesteads," tells two
amusing anecdotes illustrative of the
social independence of the chief JUS
tice.
"My childish recollection" she
writes, sis vivid of a scene described
in my hearing by distinguished Rich
mond lawyer, now dead, of a meeting
with the great jurist on the most pub
lie part of Main street one morning in
Christmas week. A huge turkey, with
the legs tied together, hung, head
downward, from one of the judges
arms, pair of ducks dangled from the
other. a brown paper bundle, ruddied
by the beefsteak it envcloped, had been
forced into coat tail pocket, and fes-
ICONS of 'chitterlings'-a homely dish
of which he was as fond as George III.
of boiled mutton-overfowe another
and dangled against his lean calves"
Another story which she tells is of a
young man who had lately removed to
Richmond. He accosted a rusty per-
son standing at the entrance of the
market house as "old man." and asked
if he 'would not like to make nine
pence by carrying turkey home for
him?" The man took the turkey with
out a word, and walked behind him
until they reached the young house
holders gate.
"Catch!" said the ''fresh" youth,
chucking ninepence at the hireling.
The man caught the coin and peck
eted it. AS he turned away a WELL
known citizen raised his hat so defer
entially that the turkey-buyer was
surprised into asking:
"Who is that shabby old fellow?"
"The chief justice of the United
States"
'Impossible!" stammered the horri-
fed blunderer; "why did he bring my
turkey home, and take my ninepence %
