 Brushes are no longer in favor. The mere love of cramming a room with a crowd of people is one of the things of the past. Small, select parties are much better style when no one is asked who has not some raison d'etre.

GOLD DREDGER LAUNCHED
An Interesting Sight in Yuma's
 Ship Yard.

Last Monday afternoon the mammoth barge of the Advance Gold Dredging company's dredger, having been fin- ished to the point of readiness to re- ceive its machinery, was slid off the ways, at the foot of Main street, into the Colorado, amid the plaudits of a large and intensely interested throng, says the Yuma Sun.
 The launching Was most success ful one, and augurs well for the sue cess of the enterprise in which the Ad- vance company is exerting itself, and in which the citizens of Yuma are all in directly but vitally interested.
 William and John C. Goodwin. fath- CT and son. who are experimenting for the contractors. the Uric Company, of Kansas City-the construction of the big gold saving device, are deserving of much praise for the highly able manner in which their work has been carried on and those whose thousands are invest

ed and whose hopes are based upon
 the exceeding promise of the enter prise, are to be congratulated.
 It is difficult to conceive of an ele-
 ment of beauty in an instrument con- structed with an eye so single to it's
 strength and durability, for an object
 so sternly prosaic and purely business.
 but as the big barge, which required the use of 10000 feet of timber and
 tons upon tons of bolts in it's compost tion, slid swiftly and easily into the muddy waves of the sluggish old river,
 the gracefulne ss of the craft was not it's least noticeable feature. There was a moment of high tension for those en- gagged in the launching while the final preparations Were being made, and as
 those whose duty it was to sever the cables which bound the vessels to its ways stood, axes in hand. awaiting the word to wield them, their anxiety, more than eXcusable, was apparent. Something might go wrOng-but it didn't, and as the massive vessel nov ed silently down the ways and floated lightly on the water, her deck covered with the spray caused by the violent contact. the sigh of relief which went up from the launching crew was echoed and multiplied in a mighty shout of enthusiasm which went up from the specta tors who filled the ship-yard, lined the wharf and were massed upon the big bridge just below the scene of the launching.
 One hundred and ten feet long. with thirty feet beam and a depth of nearly six feet the boat is built to carry 150 tons of machinery, and to withstand the most severe strain that any min ing machinery is subject to. A large force of men have been engaged seven weeks in its construction and those who have noted the growth of the yes sel marveled at the strength with which it was supplied by means of the mas sive timbers used, and the manner of their putting together.
 Several carloads of machinery have arrived and are being placed, while the balance is expected daily. It is thought that less than a month will see the big gold dredger, possessed of a capacity of handling 4,000 cubic yards of gravel per day, ready for operation. The result of the venture is awaited with exceeding interest, for it's success means the construction of many such boats on the Colorado and the opening up of another industry of wonderful to this section of country.

AMERICAN CORN KITCHEN.
French People Appreciate the Free Ser
 vice of American Corn.

The American corn kitchen at the Paris exposition is the only free lunch in France, for they do not do things that way here. Treating is unknown, and this is wholesale treating. The French. male and female, regard it with suspicion and approach the lunch counter with fear. They do this the first time. but "bouleverse" by the novel experience of eating without be- ing charged for the napkin, the sugar. the plate, the service, corn soup. corn fritters, corn cakes and syrup all in long itemized bill, a la Francais. they come again and again until the manag- ing American (who. by the way. is a born diplomat and speaks French) ex- plains that the kitchen is not intended for regular and permanent boarding house.
 Corn in any form is a somewhat heat ing diet, and when a French woman. after eating heartily of hot cakes and syrup, asked for something to drink the good colOred woman from New Orleans, who stands behind the counter and speaks French with the best of them. poured her a glass of water She tast- ed it under the impression that it was corn wine, and said it bit her tongue. Some of her companions then slipped the water and all agreed that it had a curious taste and bit their tongues There was nothing peculiar about the water except that it was ice cold This story will appear improbable to the American cold water drinkers. but there is not word of exaggerat tion in it. A rural Frenchman, after his first corn meal, said; When I tell them Ut home that I have eaten corn they will not believe me; We feed it only to beasts

lished in 1858, when the mines of Cali fornia made their highest record of $65, ,000 900. The gold production of the United States was in 1899. according 10 the estimates of the director of the mint, S72, 300. .000 while no prior year has shown so high a total as that of 1855, $65, ,00O 900, though the total for 1S9S was S64. .463 900. The annual average gold product of the United States is now double that of d, decade earlier, though in this particular the growth has been no more rapid than that of other parts of the world. the worlds total product in 1899 having been. according to the best estimates, $315. 100000, against $123, 900, 900 a decade earlier.
 The very rapid increase in gold pro- duction both in the United States and elsewhere during the past few years brings the total gold product of the half century now ending to the enor- nous figure of $6 665. .631 900. or more than twice as much as during the en- tire $50 years preceding the half cen tury now closing. The gold production of the world from 1492 to 1850 amounted to but $3129. T20.000. while that of the period 1S51-1S99 was $6 665 ,631 ,OO0

A Social Edict That Was Really Very
 Bad Form Is at Last Repealed.

Every season brings certain changes in etiquette-little variations in card leaving and entertaining by which the elect may recognize their own. One new departure of this season is the fashion of issuing all invitations in the names of both host and hostess. Un- til now, lovely wOmanShas reigned su- preme in the "at home" card, and the name of the mere man was never men tioned unless it were a dinner invita- tion-a survival from the days when the host was an important person be- cause he carved Dinner a la Russo has long since robbed him of this un- pleasant prerogative, so that he is quite as useful, or more so, at afternoon tea than he is at dinner

THE GRAsSHOPPER'S ENEMY.
Benefits Conferred by the Blister Bee
 tie on the Farmers.

In the course of a few years it may be that the pests of grasshoppers that devastate the crops in the middle west may be destroyed through the agency of another insect. This insect is the blister beetle. varieties of which are found in many parts of the country Formerly the blister beetle was regard ed as a plant pest by entomologists be- cause of it's destruction of beet plants; but it is now found that the lively little shellback has a great fondness for grasshoppers. and destroys them in large quantities.
 In a recent report of the entomolog ical department of the Michigan state agricultural college, Rufus H. Petit gives the result of his observations nf the blister beetle that is common in that locality. Epicauta cinerea. In Michigan the beetle appears in the lat ter half of July. and is numerous dur ing August and September. It attacks the sugar beet and eats the leaves, of ten causing severe damage to the plants. But there is a strong case for the defense. MT. Petit writes:
 All this looks very bad; but when We inquire into the early history of the insect, we find a very good record which helps us materially to forgive a part of the later depredations. The young blister beetle of the varieties mo- ticed here, passes his larval stage in the egg pod of one of the grasshoppers. de- vOuring usually from thirty to forty eggs, after which he burrows d short niGtn int he through the pupal stage, and comes out ready to collect pay of the farmer. All the common blister beetles of this re- zion, except the steel blue one (Meloe), have this beneficial habit. so when we see a blister beetle eating our crops we may be certain that he represents from twenty-five to forty grasshoppers lit erally nipped in the bud"
 In this state the variety of blister beetle that is common is the godenrod beetle, Epicauta pennsylvanica. It is very common in the fall about the clusters of Goldenrod, and. with it's tiS- CT springs. looks when in flight not un- like the yellowjacket. Its flight is far more clumsy, however, then that of that painful and vicious little hornet, and it is not poisonous. What damage it does is inconsiderable hereabOuts, eX- cept to the grasshOppers. Entomolo- gists believe that the culture of these insects in large numbers in states af- flicted by grasshopper swarms would decimate the grasshopper armies before they ever crawled out to march, and it is probable that the experiment will 0e made on a large scale soon. There is o1N ha pha nf ba Ia oping into a destructive pest itself, but even so it is much more easily con trolled than q grasshopper army, as it is not as hardy as the grasshopper and succumbs readily to poison. A spray of paris green and lime kills the beetle. Unless it appears in great numbers, however, it is unwise to adopt destruct- i've methods, as it is a veritable savior of general crops on it's record as grasshOpper killer.-New York Sun.
