1t has been asked which animals ben
eft most from the close resemblance they
bear TO other species. This is what is
known to naturalists as protective re-
semblance, aud it is almost invariably
found among harmless insects. animals
or birds which bear a close likeness to
quite different species which have more
or less powerful means Of self protection.
For instance, says Pearsons Weekly,
there is a species Of butterfly found in
South America quite harmless, which al.
most exactly resembles another species
which protects itself by the emission Of
strong, unpleasant odor when attacked; /;
hence their enemies take the former for
the latter.
There are also flies which resemble
bumblcbrcs 50 strongly that thcy have
been known to lay their eggs in their
nests, with the result that the two fam
lilies have been brought up together.
There are other flies which gain protec-
ton from their close resemblance to the
dreaded wasp. In Mexico there are two
species Of snakes Of very similar appear
ance-the claps, poisonous, and the pli-
ocercus, harmless The same is true Of
certain lizards, the harmless being nro-
tected by their resemblance to the for
mldable. Nearer home we have the
harmless and even cowardly cuckoo pro
tected by its resemblance at a short dis
lance TO the ferocious and predatory spar.

American statesmen have, as rule,

libraries of great value. To this rule
there is one notable exception in the gift

Sticks" and included both q copy of the
Penny Encyclopaedia aud Mrs Gas

The celebrated John Randolph Of Ro-
anokc was his antithcsis, and in his love
for books and literary ailusions involved
himself in many acrimonious disputes,
one of which resulted in his famous duel
with Clay. The duel arose from n COM
parisou Of Clay aud Adams MS a coalition
to that Of Blfl and Black George in
Fielling's novel. Tom Jones'" which
Randolph referred to as Il combination
unknown until then of Puritan and black

a rambling nature. He had few favor
ties, though he could not stand Tom
Moorc's sentimental dittics, which were
all ideal and above nature The poet
himself he described as n wit and
spruce, dapper little fellow. Randolph
was Interchangeable in his literary views,
steadfast in believing himself incapable
of error in such matters, carrying this

WHEREVER YOU ARE.

II only I could be with you, dear, with you wher-
ever you are,
would not care where feet might fare, under
what star
So that my hand might reach your hand and our
step keep true and surA
By any through any land while life for US
both endure.
If only could be with you ah the cloudiest sky
We're blue!
The roughest path that the wild waste hath would
be smooth, if walked with you.
I'd stoop to drink from the running brook, I'd
feed from the berry spray,
For my soul could live on your tender look when
ever it turned my way.
If only could be with you, dear, when day is
done and the night
Comes down out of heaven so kind and near to
fold away from sight.
Your pillow wosld be my faithful breast, and
when we had Enclt in prayer,
All, what would matter the place Of rest so that
we both were there?
Dear, I would leave a throne for you and my
kingdoms door aiar
To seek and find you the broad earth through and
be-whereyor you are,
While the swift days ly and the slow years die
only no more to part
All, small is the world yet wide. wide, wide its
space between heart and heart!

An anecdotc has been published prov

ments were being made at the fort Of
Monte Mario. Rome on some cases Of
dynamite rendered inert for transporta-
tion. They were tried by firing bullets at
them from a distance of five yards. The
then Prince of Naples was watching the
proceedings with great interest, standing
close to the men who fired All at once
one of the cases when struck exploded,
and the fragments flew over the heads Of
those present.
1t seemed that no, one was hurt. The
young prince had not moved. but was
seen to draw his mantle, which had been
hanging loose, close about him. He or
dercd the experiments to be continued.
When all was over, it was again noticed
that the prince in walking left traces of
blood on the ground, and it turned out
that he had been struck by a fragment,
though not severely, aud that he had
drawn his mantle about him to hide that
he was bleeding. He only allowed his
wound to be examined and dressed after
he Reached the Quirinal.

saving the Beans.

AT this time of year quite a number
of lima and other kinds of beans go to
waste IN gardens. These IL harvested
from time to time as they are fit will
be found useful in the winter when
vegetables are scarce, says American
Gardening. 1t is not necessary nor ad-
visable to wait until the pods are quite
ripe, but pull them when the bean has
attained full size and the pod shows
Bign of changing color. They may be
finished off by spreading them out
thinly in the sun or In any airy she'd to
dry. 1t is matter Of interest to many
to keep their beans bearing as long as
possible at this time Of the year Pull
Ing off the pods whan they are half
ripe will keep them beating until frost.
In addition they must have plenty Of
cultivation.

Like most men who speak correctly,
Lord Russell was both a writer and Il
reader. His address to the American
jurists assembled at Saratoga Springs in
August, 1896, when he took "Arbitra-
ton" for his theme, is a good sample Of
his powers of composition, for this was
an effort confessedly written to speak,
an as reader he was or had been ON
nirorous of Shakespeare, with all Of
whose works he was perfectly familiar.
On my once asking him which, to his
mind, were the most perfect lines of po-
etry he could recall he quickly answered:
"Those lines from the fifth act of the
Merchant of Venice in which Lorenzo
says TO ,Iessica:
"Look how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines Of bright gold;
There's not the smallest orb which thou be-
holdst
But in his motion like angel sings,
Still quring to the young cy'd oherubns,
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
But, whilst this muddy vcsture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it,"
Siberian Fairs.
Fairs are very numerous in Siberia and
possess great Importance. The greatest
and most ancient Siberian fair is that of
Irbit. founded in 1854 The Irbit fair is
open from Feb. l to March l. and dur
ing this time the little town wakes up
and welcomes $4,000 strangers, doing
business worth from 100000 to 55,-
100000 NIbles.

atory upon the progressive economy
of the commonwealth that this
barrier should be left to interrupt

ton Of this link of a thoronghfare
an open road would be assured the

The present disturbing element
in the railroad situation in the
Lewiston valley is the G. B. &
Q. interest. That road is seeking
a Pacific coast connection and the
Lewiston valley Is ON the route
that is being considered. The
Union Pacific interests are threat.
ened by this road on the east of
the Rockies and the jealousy is es-
tended to this side. If the c. B.
& Q should appropriate the Clear
water pass the Northern Pacific is
menaced as well as the O R. & N.
and Union Pacific. The two sys-
TENS regard this opposition road
common enemy. The truce of the
East year was the result of an effort
to placate the G. B. & @. The
Northern gave the strong rival the
best end Of a great traffic bargain
by granting Pacific terminal to
this opposition road. The price
paid for truce is almost unpre-
cedented in railroad Manipulation.
Even this purchased peace has
visible end. The next solution
will be a race for the occupancy Of
the territory in contention. The
Clearwater country is the prize for
which this railroad war has been
waged. The big crops and the
great development of mining inter-
ests have made the contention
more strenuous in the past six
months, so that truce will no
longer restrain the contending
powers. TIE Clearwater country
will be three-cornered Waterloo.
Who will be the Wellington?
