A kabie Grasshopper Plague.

Some years ago the lower part Of
Russia was devastated by swarms OF
grasshoppers. The people were de-
prived of food, the insects eating up
the entire crop, and famine Of ap-
palling dimensions began. The en-
peror ordered out an army of more
than 5000 men to fight them, who,
armed with shovels, formed in line
and heaped up the insects, which
were then buried. But this singular
attack apparently made no impress
sion, though millions of bushels Of
grasshoppers were destroyed. They
devastated an area over 400 miles wide
and 600 miles in length, leaving 1t as
bare of vegetation as it would have
been had a fire swept over the land.
The insects were In such swarms that
they piled up in places like snow;
horses could not drag wagons through
them and became covered. They few
and crawled into houses and drove
people out by the terrible odor. 1t
was estimated that 5000 people died
as the direct result of this plague.

Fast Horses For Field Work.

Slow horses are sometimes preferred
for cultivating, but fast walking
horse does much more work in q year
than the slower one. If horse trav-
els twenty miles n day, and another
twenty-five miles in the same time,
for every working day in the year,
the faster horse will travel 1900 miles
more than the other. When working
n large field horse may travel from
fifteen to twenty miles day, and n

eral horses are in use. is quite an item

given TO the breeding of fast trotters
and runners there is room for improve

The rights of the wheelmen I'm In
dianapolis have been invaded by the
mayor, who has instructed the police
to prevent the standing of wheels
against the curbs in the business
streets. This action was taken it is
said, at the instigation of business
men, who have made complaints that
bicycles left at the curbs obstruct the
streets and annoy people alighting
from carriages. Court action to test
the matter is contemplated, and 1t
would appear that the whcelmen have
good case. AS the Indianapolis
Press argues, "the rider of a bicycle
is entitled to the use of the street
equally with the owner of
a carriage. His bicycle is in
the same class of vehicles with
the carriage, taxed in the same way.

just as much reason in requiring car
riages to be left at livery stables in
stead of kept waiting in front of shops
for their owners as in requiring bicy-
clists to store their wheels while they
are busy in the shops"

strange sight witnessed by some of
the American soldiers in the Philip
pines during a church service recently
held in their honor. The interior of
the church had been bedecked by the
natives in red, white and blue, the
masterpiece of decoration being a
painted eagle on shield hung above
the image of one of the saints. On the
banner which streamed from the
eagles bill was this legend: "The Old
Reliable Condensed Mix" It seems
that the artist who painted the eagle
had copied it, inscription and all, from
the label on an old milk can, believ-
ing that the banner bore the American
motto.

MCKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT.

That is the winning ticket for 1900.
1t is the ticket that the country has
favored since republicans began cast
ing about for avice presidential can
didate. Headed by that noble states
man, soldier and patriot, who has so
magniticently served then alton for
the past four years, during trials such
as have confronted only Washington
and Lincoln while they occupied the
presidential chair, none have doubted
for a minute but that Mckinley would
be nominated, and reckless indeed
must be the individual who harbors
the thought that Mckinley faces de-
feat. And Roosevelt, against his own
wishes, and against the hopes of pop
ulists, democrats, and all ''anties"
was likewise unanimously nominated
for vice president. With the honesty,
the vigor, the push, the determination
to do the right thing at all times, and
spotless record, "Teddy" Roosevelt is
anideal running mate for Mckinley.
He is one of the most magnetic men of
the country. and the west will be de-
lighted to honor him by enthusiastic
ally urging his election to the next
highest honor within the gift of the
p~eople-with the pleasant anticipation
of placing him still higher four years
from now.
1t is Il great honor indeed for the
American people this year to support
such IA ticket. Il fact that they will re-
cord next November.
