A, larv, B, pupa, G, pupa by England a
Oh "nea' hundred years
ago, that which was threatened by Ma
poleon with his armies, or that which
was threatened by the Hessian fly
The first would bring battles, but the
second famine, from the destruction of
the wheat fields. If there were forti-
fcatiOns on the coast and lookouts to
give warning of the approach of fleet,
there were also garin inspectors at all
the ports to see that His Flyship did
not smuggle himself in in a bag of
wheat, as the Greeks invaded Troy by
concealing themselves in the horse.
So much was written about the He's
sian fly by men of science, farmers and
English representatives in Germany,
that there is now a whole shelf full of
books about this one insect in the.
British museum.
1t is not much to look at, this brown
nudge that floats in clouds in the
sweet spring air above the young green
wheat. It has a black body and hairy
antenna, dark brown wings and golden
legs that trail behind it lazily After
it. has laid it's eggs on the wheat stalks
it dies Little worms soon hatch out
of the eggs and increase in size as rap
idly as the stalks dwindle Then they
go to sleep in their little cocoons, and
by and by another brood of flies comes
out and lays eggs. The second brood
of worms when ready to go to sleep
let themselves down to the roots of the
plants. There they live in the pupa
state all winter.
The only remedy that is by any
means effective is to burn the wheat
field in which the Hessian fly is
found declares the Little Chronicle of
Chicago. Many farmers plant trap
field late in September, and then when
the worms are feeding burn it off,
Then they plow the land, burn again
in the spring and put in clover. Wheat
culture has had sometimes to be given
up in wide areas of country until the
Hessian fly was starved out. There is
no part Of the country now in which
the fly is not found. 1t appeared in
the Ohio valley states last fall not in
very great numbers but enough to
weaken the winter wheat so that
much of it was winter killed.

MRS. T. WAS SORRY.

Mary" said Mr.. Thomas, when a
silence fraught with unpleasant mean
ing had followed his first alteration
with his young wife.
'Yes?" said Mary, interrogatively.
'eWhen man and his wife have had
"a difference" said Mr.. Thomas
with judicial air, "and each con-
siders the other at fault. which Of the
two do you think should make the
first advance toward reconciliation? p
"The wiser of the two said Mrs.
Thomas promptly; '3and so, my dear,
I'll say at once that I'm very sorry.
It occurred to Mr. Thomas that it
might have been as we'll for him to
make the first advance, but he thought
fully refrained from saying so.

It may be said upon the highest au-
thority that Jonathan Prentiss Dol
liver, the brilliant lawyer and congress
man who during the twelve years he
has represented the tenth Iowa district
has risen to the distinction of being
known as the orator of the house, VIII
succeed the late John Henry Gear as
United States senator. This honor, it
is stated, will be given him through
appointment by Gov. Shaw, but after
appointment there is no reasonable
doubt that when the legislature meets
in 1902 he will be elected for the full
term of six years, which will begin
March next.

Elmo e. Goodfellow and Harry
Duckel 18-year -olds of Springfield,
Ohio ran away from home on May co
visit the Paris Exposition. To provide
for the expense of the trip they bad

trains to Jersey City. A S. tip to an
employe of the Atlantic Transport
Line gained them the opportunity -
work their passage across the
ocean, and after seeing some
of the sights Of London they
bought cheap roundtrip tickets for
Paris and spent six days doing the fair.
When their money ran low they re-
turned to London and asked permission
to work their passage back to New
York on the Minneapolis. This the
steamship people refused and the
young fellows slowed themselves away
on board her, arriving here Sunday

CHINESE CULTIVATE THE DRAMA

The drama is poular all over China,
and when a religious celebration takes
place before the temple of god a
theatrical performance usually follows.
The stage is erected in the street, and
in front of this the people gather and
listen for hours to the declamations
of the actors, whose themes are usually
of a historical character. There are
not many permanent theaters. Actors
and acrobats can be hired cheaply, and
at every dinner where strangers are in
vited theatrical performance is part
of the entertainment.-NeW York
Tribune.

Mysterious Treasure.

Kingman, Kansas.-A mysterious
stranger, who has been delving around
in the neighborhood of the Nichols
Springs, in Chicaskia township, the
past week, has excited much curiosity,
and, at the same time. revived an al
most forgotten story of buried treasure
The tradition runs that about the
year 184S an army paymaster, who was
being pursued by Indians, and who.
together with his companions, was
either killed near by or carried into
captivity. The only susviving one was
carried away. but sickened and soon
died. Before his death. however. he
managed to communicate with half
breed trapper and gave him a plat of
the ground describing where the box
was hidden, but the trapDer lost the
chart and could only remember that
1t was about three hundred rods from
the spring, yet could not remember
the direction. He and others TO whom
he communicated the secret made per-
iodical trips to the spring for years
and made vain search for the hidden
treasure uD until about the year 1869.
when search was abandoned.
1t may never be found, and then
again some one may be so fortunate as
TO unearth 1t some day. There were
conflicting tales as to the amount of
the treasure. but the general under
standing was that the sum was about
$4,000.

Tom?"
M Mhm," replied Mr.. Wilder, who had
been married 20 years. He did not for one
instant detach his mind from his paper, as
he gave this positive assurance.
"Yes, indeed; when go selecting Christ

it. No haphazard, indiscriminate present
buying for me! l select something which
is sure to please the recipient, because it is
something which she really wants. Now,
there is Laura; she is near-sighted, you
know, and l bought her lovely pair of
opera glasses. She will be SO pleased with
them that she will send me something even
more expensive in return"

looking up from his paper.
Il thought you would agree with me.
Then there is Suzanne. i have sent her a

MCCIure'S Magazine for January.

In variety and worth of contents
McClure's Magazine for January is not
able, as well for literary merit and for
art. The first in series Of memoirs
by-Miss Clara Morris appears in this
number, and by the graces of her writ
ing the famous actress gives added val
ue to narrative full of interest. In
this is told the story of her trials and
triumphs on the occasion of her first
appearance in New York.
There is a careful and vivid pen pic
ture of the Emperor William, that most
interesting figure of contemporary
royalty. From this study by Mr.. Ray
Starnard Baker the reader gains def
mite acquaintance with the man and
the sovereign.
The fiction in this issue is of the
best. A second instaIlment Of Mr..
Rudyard Kipling's new novel, kim, -
appears, with illustrations by Mr.. Ed
win Lord Weeks and Mr. ]. Lockwood
Kipling.
A clever study of Chicago types is
made by Miss Edith Wyatt in "Limi-
tations,' and in "The Chinaman's Poll
tics" Mr.. viii Payne mingles love
and politics in delightful comedy.
