The United States in the possession

there may be no trouble with the in

though the Dispatches which have been
received and published in the press,
together with the demands of Aguin-

Gated n temper on the part of the in

Our friend, Jud Boyakin. of
the Boise Democrat, thus des-
cribes the Philippine bedbug
1.-THE Philippine bedbugs are
small. Even the recently born
Idaho bedbug is too large to
crawl into a mans ear, although
it was published several years
ago that Shoshone baby bed
bug had effected an auricular en-
trance into a newspaper man, but
this was never subscribed and
sworn to. An old packer says
that he once saw a Boise valley
bedbug back off in disgust after
trying in vain to crawl into a
mules ear. But the Philippine
bedbug (the country editor would
write it cimex lectularius) is said
to be pigmy in comparison to
ours, but none the less odorous,
bloodthirsty and terrible. And
on those islands they number as
the sands on the seashore and
swarm all over and through
sleeping man. Hence upon turn
ing in at night a fellow especial
ly a foreigner) to prevent having
his tympanum bored through
and his brain sucked dry, en-
cases his cabea in a sort of a
skull cap that reaches down and
tightly encircles his neck. Each
officer and private of the Idaho
regiment has been made the
possessor of one of these bed
bug proof nightcaps which will
be the only nightcap permissa-
BILE while down in the Philippin-
es. Each member of the regi-
ment has also been provided
with flannel fever band, or
cinch, which is a sort of belly
band that is to be buckled around
a mans abdominal bulge after
the manner of Raging a Boise
apple tree to catch the Goblin
moth. Fancy the scenic effect
Col. Jones would produce in his
robe de mutt, or something or
other, with his head hidden in a
bedbug coming tower and his
red flannel fever on. prowling
around in the dead hour of a
tropical night capturing or chas-
ing away the nimble Philippine
vermin."

Jovite will be used to fire ar
NOR piercing projectiles at the
ships of Spain. Capt. omen,
chief of the ordnance bureau, has
given instructions to this effect.
He has found from experiments
that iovite is a safe explosive,
and capable of terrible execu-
ton. Twenty to $50 pounds of
the explosive will be used in
shells of from eight to thirteen
inch caliber. Projectiles thus
loaded will be used only in fight
ing ships of the enemy, as powd-
err will accomplish the destruc-
ton of Notifications readily
enough. A fuse can be attached
to projectile loaded with jovite
and timed so that it will explode
after the armor plate of the ship
has been pierced. This, it is
believed, will do enough damage
to bring the battle to a close, so
far as that ship is concerned.

The Republicans secured an
alliance with the gold Democrats
in Oregon, and then got the mid
dle-of-the road Populists to run
a boiling ticket in opposition to
the majority of their party. The
gold men understand thoroughly
that uniting their own forces and
dividing the forces of the OPP
position is their only hope of
success. Idaho should take due
warning from Oregon and not be
caught in the trap. Let all the

General Miles appears to have
an ill-feeling against the volun-
teers, and is constantly doing
everything he can to ridicuie
and belittle them. This does not
look very well for man holding
the position that Miles has been
honored with. ALI past history
shows that the volunteers are
true and their record for hard
lighting is far better than that of
Gen. Miles pet regulars, and
during all the present engage
ments in Cuba the volunteers
have shown themselves to brave
and loyal. The volunteer goes
to the front purely for love of
his country-not for the paltry
sum OF $13 per month-and when
engaged in fierce battle does not
know when to retreat. But it is
different with the regular who
makes such fine appearance on
dress parade. General Miles is
back number, and should be rele-
gated to the rear. All honor 10
the volunteers, General Miles to
the contrary, notwithstanding.

1t is said that it costs the agri-
culturalists of the United States
$500, 900, 900 annually to feed in
sects that quarter themselves
upon Them. The birds are lab

these predatory hordes; and if
the birds were all destroyed, the
insects would be practically I'M

1t is not often supposed that,
as a rule, boys, in growing, keep
ahead of girls, but a recent
measurement of very many child
rem of both sexes is against this
conclusion. The boys, up to
their 18th year, were found to
run about a quarter to half an
inch taller than the girls. They
were then overtaken by the girls,
who surpassed them in height
till their 10th year, when the
boys again grew faster than the
girls, and came to the front.
