HOW TO WORK TOGETHER.

From Panguitch comes an inquiry as
to what the silver forces intend doing
in the next presidential campaign
whether they will unite against the
common foe or scatter their strength
and influence
The present Indications are that the
fight will be made along the lines laid
down in 1896, and in very much the
same way. True, the Populists have
already nominated their presidential
ticket, but the chief effect of that will
be to reduce the Populist vote very ma
terially, as all reasonable men who de-
sire the rehabilitation of silver are sure
to support the strongest and most
available candidate pledged to that
principle. Wherever there is a. silver
organization that still clings to the
name Republican" it will undoubted-
ly endorse and support the Democratic
nominee. There is no state organize
ton of this character in Utah any
more. 1t was disbanded a year ago,
since which time some of its leaders
have renewed their allegiance to the
party of gold and others have an
nounced their intention of linking their
fortunes with the Democratic party.
There will be a cooperation of the
silver forces in Utah next campaign,
but circumstances win require that
they work under the Democratic ban
ner, as has been pointed out. The
Populist organization of the nation has
it's ticket already selected. The silver
Republican organization of the state is
no more. There seems to be but one
party in which silver men can work
together for Bryan and bimetallism.
That is the Democratic party.

VACATION STUDIES
FOR YOUNG NATURALIsTs.
x. BUGS AND BEETLES.
BY CLARENCE MooRES WEED

To most people anything of small size
that crawls. or flies is a bug, but to
those who pay attention to these crea-
lures many of these bugs are beetles
For to the entomologist the word bug
means an insect having certain definite
characters which separate it from other
insects The true bugs form an order
called hemiptera, or half-winged in
sects, because in the typical forms the
basil half of each front wing is thick
ened, while the outer half is very thin.
But even when the application of the
word is very restricted there are a
great many sorts and conditions of
bugs. Possibly to some people a GER
tain domestic variety may come to
mind as the typical bug, but better
example is found in the large crea-
lures which during recent years have
been called "electric-iight bugs" be-
cause they are frequently about street
lights. One of them is represented in
the figure herewith.
When these bugs are at home and
not flying over the country to be daz-
zled by the lights they are found in
ponds and sluggish streams. On this
account they are often called giant
water bugs. They are the giants of
their tribe. being the largest forms of
the true bugs. They feed upon fishes,
as we'll as various aquatic insects.
Where the mouth should be there is a
strong beak, with which the unfortu-
nate victim is pierced after it has been
caught between the clasping front legs
of the bug.
The eggs of these giant water bugs
are laid in damp places along the bor-
ders of the pond. The young live in the
water. preying upon SUCH insects as
they can catch.
The Squash Bug.
The squash bug is one of the most
familiar examples of the true bugs.

PERRY YIELDS THE PALM.

Republicans delighted to honor the
Hon. Perry Belmont a little while ago.
When he gave his influence to the party
OF gold, militarism and trust protection,
and urged his former associates in the
Democratic party TO do likewise, Perry
was a statesman. When he disputed
with Bryan concerning the attitude of
Jefferson on financial issues. he was a
marvel of scholarly attachments and
political wisdom. AT least that was the
estimate of the Republican press.
But now Mr.. Belmont-Perry-has be-
come Disguised with 1.-The jellyfish i'm
perialism'' Of President Mckinley and
has found that the great majority of
Americans, as far as he is able to de-
termine, are also Disguised with a war
against a tribe of Filipinos which has
already dragged on three times as long
as the war with Spain lasted. So the
New York politician has announced to
the public his well confirmed belief that,
with Mr.. William ]. Bryan's middle
of-the-road policy it is difficult to
prophesy anything but sweeping ma
jority for Mr.. Bryan next election.
This has pulled administration cham
pions up with a sudden jerk. Here was
the man from whom they had received
so much aid and from whose utterances
for three years they had derived much
comfort, expressing a conviction that
Bryan's chances against Mckinley are
constantly improving, and that a
sweeping majority will carry him into
the White House next time. 1t. is in
order for them to swallow some of their
statements concerning Perry. But as
the words were honied, they may not
prove so unpalatable, after all.

At the End of a. Book

Bliss Carman in the Saturday Evening
Post.)
When that old Vendor, to whose hand
The loveliest volumes come at last
Shall thumb you for a trace of good
Enduring, though your day be past,
Be not abashed at your small worth;
His sense is keen; and there may cling
About your yellowing pages stiIl
Some freshness of the northern spring;
Some echo of the Withdrawals song
From lonely valleys blue with rain,
Ringing across the April dusk
Joy and unfathomable pain;
Some glamour of the darling land
OF purple hill and scarlet tree,
OF tidal rivers and tall ships,
And green-diked orchards by the sea;
A sweep of elm-treed interval,
And gravely floors where herons wade
A sigh of wind through old gray barns
With eerieSt music ever made.
And will no hint of this outweigh
The faulty aim, the faultier skill,
To save our credit when we come
To the Green Dwelling in the Hill?
An trust the Vendor, wise and kind.
He knows the outside and the in,
And loves the very least of those
He losses in the dusty bin.

each side of the body, which acts like
a kettle drum when the wings are rap
idly vibrated. The females, however,
are not provided with this apparatus,
so that they can take no part in the
deafening chorus of their mates.
These adult cicadas appear in sum-
mer Soon afterward the females make
Sits in the twigs of various fruit and
shade trees and deposit therein pearly
white eggs One cicada will lay several
hundred of these eggs.
A few weeks later these eggs hatch
into strange looking creatures that drop
to the ground and bury themselves in
the soil by the aid of their strong, Pc
culiarly-formed feet. Here they subsist
upon the juices of various plants for
many long years. Some broods of
adult cicadas are thirteen years apart,
while others are seventeen years apart.
Marvellous Rate of Multiplication.
The reason why such tiny creatures
as insects are often able to do so vast
an amount of damage is because of
their marvellous powers of multiplied
ton This is best illustrated. perhaps,
in the case of the plant lice, or aphides.
These little creatures are known to

brown eggs upon them. These soon

One of the most famous examples of
a true bug is found in the seventeen

expanse of about three inches. The
veins of the wings are of an orange

NOT PARALLEL CASES.

A correspondent of the Omaha
World-Herald undertakes to draw a
comparison between the Beers and the
Mormons. He says that the latter
were .'treked" across the country be-
cause, like the Beers, they established
exclusive communities wherever they
settled and sought to be a law unto
themselves. When they left the United
States and settled in Utah they were
slowly surrounded by those from whom
they had fed, he says, and their in
dependence was short-lived, and Utah
was taken into the United States do
main.
Whatever comparison may be made
between the inhabitants of the Trans
vaal and the early settlers Of Utah, no
parallel can be drawn between thei1
experiences in f-government. In the
first place, the Mormons were nos
fleeing from despotism, but from mobs
acting in defiance of the law. They
did not come to Utah to get outside
of the United States, but on the con-
trary, raised the stars and stripes on
Ensign peak, although the country was
then a part of Mexico. The World
Herald, in commenting upon this mat
ter, says:
When Utah was organized as territory
Brigham Young was made governor, and
he held that position until removed under
President Buchanans administration.
These Mormons were not denied civil
or political liberty. They had the same
privileges that the inhabitants of every
r.,I 1n nr.,n 1rR
that their territory would ultimately be-
come a state. 1t was, however. necessary
that they comply with the laws, OF the
United States-a requirement made of all
the people of the United States. As the
inhabitants of an organized territory they
had the same right of participation in
government that has been enjoyed by the
residents of all other territories. They
controlled the legislature for years, and
for at least seven years their chief
prophet Brigham Young, was territorial
governor The clash came, however.
when they established poiygamy and
sought TO make that recognized institu-
ton on United States soil
There is no similarity here to the
case Of the Beers. To admit the right
of the United States to enforce its
laws, apart from any discussion as to
the justice or injustice OF legislation,
is rot to concede the right of Great
Britain to interfere with the internal
affairs of republics, or alleged repub
lies, in the south OF Africa. But if
Great Britain finds it necessary to go
TO the rescue of her subjects, to pro-
tect their lives, rights and property in
terests. that is another matter entirely;
nor does it add anything to the force
of the comparison made by the World
Heralds correspondent.

The young or larval ladybirds are
very different looking creatures from
their parents. The young hatch from
eggs laid upon the leaves or branches
of many plants. The eggs are small
and yellowish. The larvae have six
legs, which they move actively about.
They are generally covered with bristly
hairs. Like their parents, they feed
upon other insects, especially plant lice.
When they become full grown each
larva attaches itself to a leaf, or a
piece of bark, where it changes to a
strange looking pupa. In this condition
it remains ten days or so, and then
energies as an adult ladv'bird.
The Tiger Beetles.
When you walk along a shady road in
summer you are likely to see, if you
watch a rather small insect fly up in
front of you and alight few yards
ahead. If you have an insect net and
can use it dexterously you may be able
to catch one of these creatures. You

quite distinct, with prominent eyes and
long, pointed jaws. The legs are long
and slender evidently fitted for run
ming. The body in general. especially
the under side, has more or less metal

These tiger beetles live upon other
insects, especially caterp;llars. By keep
ing some of them in a glass jar and
furnishing them with cutworms or cab
bage worms you may be able to see
how thew feed upon their prey.

when they are less active than on hot
days. On a cool day in April 1 have
caught them easily even without net,
but on hot day they are very quick

they alight they are generally facing
you, a useful precaution against enc

The Bean weevil.

Another great group of beetles is
illustrated by the bean weevil, shown
natural size and nlagnihed in the pic
ture herewith. In the field these weevils
deposit eggs inside the green pods in
small clusters. In short time the eggs
hatch into tiny grubs that feed within
the beans, maturing in about a month.
These insects are also able to develop
in dried beans, so that when they are
present in beans put away in. autumn
many more may be present the follow
ing season. The best way of prevent
ing such continuance of their injury
seems to be to'inclose the infested beans
in a tight vessel in which a little BIZ
sulphide of carbon, benzine or gasoline
has been placed. The fumes Of these
volatile substances will destroy the
