Inse cts in Winter,

little boy once asked his father II
the house flies went South for the
winter, like the birds; and then his
father told him a long story about
different insects and what became of
them during the cold months.
He told the boy that when autumn
comes the death knell of millions of
flies has sounded. They do not pre-.
pare for winter as many other insects
do. The majority die. and their little
bodies are blown away by the passing
breeze. A few hardy flies will lingeI
in cracks in the walls, creep under
the door frames or into crevices in the
woodwork, and some naturalists be.
lieve that these few lingering flies are
the parents of the multitude that ap.
pear in the warm days of June, for
they lay thousands OF eggs.
Eatydids. grasshoppors, crickets ana
beetles are killed by the frost, and the
eggs which they hide in the ground
or conceal in the bark Of trees fur.
nish the supply for the next year
These hatch out in the warm days Of
spring
Beetles exhibit wonderful instinct
in caring for their eggs during winter
Among some species the eggs are
rolled in balls of material suitable for
food, and then the balls are packed
away in nest until the infant beetle
wakes up and eats its way out.
Then there are the sexton" beetles,
w .
of dead birds or field mice. after W whicb
they set to work and perform the
proper rites of burial, heaping the
earth upon the body of the dead. The
young beetle, when Matched from the
egg, finds Il store of food awaiting its
arrival in the world
1t is said that the spiders store away
no food supply in winter quarters.
Quantities of eggs are laid and care.
fully sheltered in velyety cobweb sacks
that defy the weather. These sacks
may be found swinging by silken ropes
from the goldenrod and milkweed, and
hidden away in crevices and corners
of board fences and stone walls The
little spiders creep from their cosey
sleeping bags which the wise mother
has provided for them, and if they
escape their cannibal brothers and
sisters they enter at once on career
of trapping and hunting.
Bees and wasps lay up stores for
the winter, the wasps not as carefully
as the bees, but in the centre of the
cone shaped nest of the paper making
wasps may be found goodly stores of
honey.
The thrifty ant deserves much sym
pathy, in that it is dainty morsel for
spiders beetles, crickets and other in
sect hunters. A few ants may sur.
viye and feed on accumulated stores
during the winter. but it is chiefly the
eggs and cocoons hidden away in the
secure underground chambers of the
ant hill that furnish the ant popula-
ton of the following summer.
The ants care of its young, the
management of its slaves, and the tiny
insect cows which they capture and
from which the honeydew is MIXED
all would furnish tale as interesting
as the customs of any wandering tribe
of the desert or any lost nation of
darkest Africa.-New York Tribune.

A GOOD RECORD
Made by John A. Jeffrey as District
Attorney
What One of the Southern Oregon's
Leading Newspapers
Says OF It.
Medford Monit ,r-Miper ,of Nav lsq7 -

Medford Mont or-Miner of May 1897"
Hon. John A. Jeffrey is making rec
ord as district attorney which may we'll
dispel all doubt, il any ever existed, as
to his ability to conduct the affairs vi
that office. The manner in which Mr..
Jeffrey conducted the Nelson murder
case in Josephine county at the late term
of court, showed that he had the entire
matter of evidence in hand, and SO COM
plete was the chain, although purely cir
cumstantial, that the jury was out only a
short time until il brought verdict of
guilty in the first degree.
Every case of any importance on the
Josephine county docket was won for
the state. The Monitor-Miner believes
that the official who is careful and vigi-
liant of the public interests, should re-
ceive some commentator and encour-
agement as he goes along especially one
so young as Mr.. jeffrey. 1t is only fair
to say that this is written without the
knowledge or consent of Mr.. Jeffrey, and
while he is absent in another part of the
state.
