CITY COUNCIL is INVITED.

The annual bsnqust given by the Port
land Club to the members of the city
government will occur this evening.
It Is anticipated that this will be . NEST
enjoyable occasion and large attendance
is.expectedsnot only of the club members
but OF those who have received Invitations
to be present. Inc bAnqusts Of this char
actsr which have been given in the past
have generally occurred before the orga-
nization OF the city council and have,
in consequence, been rather trying for
mem bsrs-eleot of tine city government, as
shey have been pretty we'll bored by cam
didates for municipal offices. This year
the candidates have either been elected or
defeated and the city council can pass
an evening with the Portland club In
peace and comfort.

South Africa,s Plaques.

South Africa imports hides, wool and
mohair, and the ranchman would recel
in riches were it not for the various
pests that decimate his fiocks and
herds. The most deadly one is the rind-
erpest, cattle trade, which in the
last ten years has been slowly creeping
from central Africa southwark, leaving
a wake of whitened bones. Dr. Koch
and other eminent specialists tried in
vain to stop this plague. The country
is now recovering from it slowly.
Another pest is the tsetse fly, an in
sect resembling our common house fly,
bat three times as large. It's bite will
kill horse, cow or any other domestic
animal in about ten days, but, strange
to say, does not affect wild animal
or a human being. A less dangerous
but more troublesome pest is the white
ant, which is about one-quarter of all
inch long and ubiquitous in many parts
of the country. They live under ground
and can only be routed by killing the
queen, which sometimes reaches the
size Of one inch in length. These ants
will eat through anything but metal,
and for that reason much of the build
ing is done with corrugated iron. The
ant hill is one of the conspicuous land
marks in travelling over South Africa.

RipOn and the "Page.'

When the Marquis of Ripon in an
amiable way wandered about the, Mas
sachusetts state house one afternoon in
the spring of 1871, he sat down beside
young man who was occupying corner
of one of the leather sofas, relates the
Saturday Evening Post. The Young
man had a bright face, with a quiz
zical look to his mouth, and now and
then twinkle came into his eye as he
talked. The marquis talked a little
condescendingly to the young man at
first, and in moment betrayed the
fact that he thought his companion was
a page.
'But am a SENATOR" said the young
man, smiling.
"What?" said the nobleman il, as
tonishment, looking at the smooth face
of the young man.
II am a senator, elected from a dis
trict in the city of Boston," was the
reply again.
! "Were you born in the city, too?"
said the marquis.

''Where them"
''In the island next to yours" with
sharp look and a laugh in his eye.
The marquis laughed heartily, too, and
he made mental note of the name and
face of young Patrick A. Collins When
the two met in England in the summer
of 1887 Mr. Collins had a warm welcome
