Then she gets back to the waves mood by going at Waves of the Ocean, which she performs as if it had been written in reel time, After she has performed 'Everybody's Darling with great slowness and deliberation exactly the way it hadn't ought to be played, she launches into The Maidens Prayer which sounds like runaway photograph. If any maiden ever tried to pray to the pace set by this little girl she'd establish worlds record for the greatest number of uttered words with in the space of one minute.

 the government may confiscate it, as all

 existing dollars cannot be taken by the government, as they are owned by cer-
 tain persons, but this particular coin has fallen into the hands of the govern ment, which will probably retain it. Cleveland Leader.

One who was rich picked out spot
 High on noble hill, and there He built himself costly tomb,
 That all the people might know where He rested when his work was done. The marble gllstened in the sun;
 The white shaft lowered In the alr. A toiler where the crowds were great
 Had love of men big In his heart; He sang to make the signing glad,
 And preached for peace with all his art His song died on his lips one day, They laid the ill-clad form away,
 From all the costly tombs apart. Broad paths are beaten to a spot
 Watched now with loving, jealous care; And rich and poor and great and small
 Fare far to stand uncovered there. High on the hill. seen from below, A rich tomb stands. hut few men go
 To see what name the shaft may bear.

LTTTL BUT MIC HTT.

Since it has been discovered what a
 deadly devil the mosquito can be there
 is an increased appreciation of it's in- portance in the scheme of things And
 there are other insects that amount to something Dr. H. c. McCook tells about some of them in the current num- Der of Harper's Magazine According to his calculations the chinch-bug caus- ed a loss of 3O,OOO0 900 in 1871, upward of The Rocky Mountain locust, or grass hopper, in 1874 destroyed s1O0, 000,000 of the crops of Kansas, Missouri, Nebras- ka and Iowa, and the indirect loss was probably as much more. For many years the cotton caterpillar caused an annual average loss to the southern States of S15,oOO, ,0OO while in 1868 and 1873 the loss reached S30, 1000, ,00O The fly weevil, our most destructive enemy to stored grains, particularly through out the south, inficts an annual loss in the whole country of $40,O00, ,OO0. The codling-moth the chief ravager of the apple and pear crops destroys every year fruit valued at $30,O0OO0O to $40,- 900, 900, The damage to live stock in- dicted by the ox-bot, or ox-warble, amounts to S36, 6,000000.

NOT YET CONQUER ED.

Some of the Boers who haven't been permitted to die in the last ditch don't mean to be benevoently assimilated by the British if they can help it. They have already formed new republics in the wilds of South Africa. Two tracts of land aggregating about flfty-two thou sand square miles have been pre-empt- ed by these monarchy-hating Dutch men. It remains to be seen whether the British will follow these determin- ed republicans to the remote and almost inaccessible regions in which they have established themselves. Perhaps they will be let alone for time, and they may even have an opportunity to make their new possessions worth grabbing. Probably when they have done this, civilization in English or some other form will get after them and make them it's own. The onward march" must go onward.

THE ERECTION IN OREGON.

There will be an election in Oregon next Monday and perhaps some of it's results will be significant. Congress men, State officers, legislators, county and municipal officers are to be voted for. Some expect to see in the vote for congressman an indication of what the country thinks of the expansion issue, and so of what it has to say on the sub ject of the Philippines, of Democratic attacks on the army in the archipelago, and of the Presidents policy in relation to the islands. They are also looking for signs of what is believed by the vot- CTS to be th governments duty toward Cuba, and for some light on the ques- tion of the general strength of the re- viving Democratic party.
 The outlook is that the Republicans will carry the State, and there will be and pain if they don't happen
