Anna Ruth's Birthday Party.
Reported by Jos. Mulhatton, Society Edite

Reported by Jos. Mulhatton, Society Editor.l
 The little folks from the creme de la creme of Florence society had it all their own way on Tuesday evening January 9th, at the beautiful home of Anna Ruth Barker, who was just seven years old that day. It was bright and interesting scene, long to be re- membered by all those who were fortu- nate enough to receive au invitation from the charming little lady, who presided with becoming dignity and grace on the all-important occasion. Olivas' orchestra rendered sweet soul inspiring music, which added to the beauty and grace of all the little Brownies, and the refined surroundings was scene long to be remember by all who participated in the pleasures of the evening.
 The Christmas tree was still loaded with the presents Santa Claus had re- gently brought, and the room contain ing sixteen baby dolls with their little housekeeping furniture was tine envy of all the little folks. Florence, by the way, can compare favorably with any other place for the beauty, talent and healthful bright looks and the general rosy happiness of its little people.
 The children of a larger gro with, parents and friends of the little ones, enjoyed the antics of the little ones immensely. It was a Imaginable little fairy scene in fairy bower; their lit tie cake walk, and the Brownie ball, in which they were so ogracefully mixed up and confused, was enjoyed immense ly.
 The plum pudding sceRe was g great success, and the banquet was an epicurean poem, to which both young and old did ample justice.
 The only thing to mar the pleasure of the occasion was Judge Benson's awkward mistakes in the old folks quadrille, which set everything wrong but caused lot of fun nevertheless.
 The entire affair, however, was a grand success. More such social events would do much to make life in Florence worth the living, and elevate our thoughts and our spiritual nature to a higher standard of happiness, which God certainly intends his chill dren on this nice little planet called the earth to partake of.
 The children of larger growth who were present To honor the occasion were A. M. Harrison and Geo. B. Chittenden of Washington, D. c. Harry Foreman, P hil Welles, Judge Benson, Willie Be nson, Will Flint, w. w.. Bailey, Mrs. Whitlow, Mrs. Lemon, Miss Lemon, Miss Stone, Mrs. Mary E. Harter, Mrs. Weedin, Jennie Weedin, Miss Molie Long, Hon. Sidney Bartle- son, A. F. Barker, Mrs. A. F. Barker and host of good-looking and in telligent persons entirely too numer- ous to mention. They tripped the light fantastic toe long after the little ones were dreaming about butterflies, humble bees and grass-hoppers, and did not leave the enchanting scene until Mercury, the morning star, gave warning that it was time all Florence people who were honestly in clined should be iR their nests.

insects found associated with some particu-
lar kind of plant in one locality will be
met with upon some kindred form of vege-
tation in another. Thus the peculiar beetles
living on the leaves Of the Queensland bot
lie tree are found feeding on the curra long
at Wagga Wagga, in New South Wales
The Australian insect fauna is estimated
at 1000 species, but it is believed that the
actual number is considerably greater. Of
these the greatest variety is to be found in
New South Wales, the scientific collections
formed in Sydney and elsewhere being of
singular attractiveness and interest In the
vicinity of streams may be found large and
beautiful dragon flies. often of considera-
Bile size. while everywhere during the
warmer months of the year the cease,ess
hum of the cigale reminds the traveller of
a similar insect experience in Italy. Native
honey bees are plentiful In many places and
are easily recognizable by their small size
being little larger than the common house
ny. Mosquitoes are practically unknown in
the dry interior, but their place Is taken by
| the sand fly, an equally mischevous in
sect. There are spiders of all sizes, few
being poisonous, but their webs are gen.

| splendid appearance of some of the butter
flies rivals that of the most gorgeous in

large butterfly known as the ornithoptera
! riehmondiana has wings magnificently
marked with gold, green and velvet black.

happy in his diminutive way. shrank back
into the corner and showed his bara red

very near, she would snatch her naked

into the air. And there would be great
crowings and strangled laughter from the
infant. and low murmurings of passionate

He Just Had to Smile.

hair brush and began to plaster his hair
down on his forehead like an Italian bar

stood at one side, with a finger upraised

planned the operator afterward.
For Home Consumption.
The next subject to mount the stairs was
| smooth-shaven representative in Con-
Gress from the west. He was of the pom
derous, ahem-lng, throat-clearing species
and he wanted three-quarter photograph,
! with his right hand within his frock coat
between the first and second buttons and
roll of manuscript in his left hand
"A trifie Websterian. that, is it not ?''
mildly ventured the artist.
| Its the way I want to be photographed

| bowed in assent and took the picture in
accordance with Instructions. The great
| man put a brainy scowl when the opera

torious gladiator in a former impersonation
| of a Washington tragedian, and he looked
like frock-coated Ajax defying anybody

! resentatiye had departed, when his con-
| stitootents see that picture they'll be con-
vinced that he's the main guy in this little

wooden and uninteresting in her woolly rig
-rainy-day skirt, stayless waist-and her
aggressively f1at-heeled shoes and her nor

her head.
"Er-would it not be better if the hair
were arranged a bit higher on the head
| Just trife more fluffy. you know" sug-
gested the operator.

lady, emphatically. Il don't believe in high
