We heartily approve Of this course. Let

OF tle tariff question, that we may the
better legislate for our labor and our in =

pleted his series of papers for the season.
we would llka e. suggest a few topics
which can be discussed with the most
beneficial results.
viii the free trade league let us have
papers on the following subjects:
How would whole or partial repeal
of the Dinglev law increase our sales
abroad and interfere in no way with
our present industrial prosperity?
How would free trade increase our
home market?
How would free sugar help our grow
ing beet industry?
Where are the foreign markets TO be
gained, and how are we to gain them
against the competition of cheap labor
abroad unless we reduce our own labor
TO the same level?
why are we so prosperous today,
why are so many employed, and why
are wages so high in spite of our "rob-
Der tariff
" ho is being robbed, and how and to
what extent?
" hich is better, government sur
plus or a bond selling deficit?
Why are we exporting more today
than any other nation on earth IN spite
of the ubiquitous tariff! y
Why are our railroads so busy and Ill
such splendid financial condition?
Why are our savings banks bullying
with the deposits of the masses?
Why are our bank clearings the great
est ever known;
Why are failures below the normal
Why is there a smaller percentage
of children at work and "a larger per.
centage of children at school than ever
before in our history?
Give us facts and figures, Mr. Lamb
The day for academic discussion is past.
Don't theorize; don't prophecy; try
demonstration and proof Send out
practical ideas; get into the goth cen
fury Drop the exploded notions OF
half a century ago and give the people
credit for Intelligence and ability to in
vestigate and analyze for themselves.

Weakness of the statesman.

diplomatic young lady who understood
the weakness of politicians secured
some years ago a place in the state
service
The day before the opening OF the
session a shy girl knocked ut the door
of the attorney generals office. ,A....

asked timidly.

YOU when he gets through with this
long line of job hunters. Just have a

In the numerous chairs. on the office
lounge and standing were 20 more
waiting for Il turn to press some claim
for position.
The attorney general was rather a
grun looking man, and he dismissed
each with the remark: IL can't do any
thing for you. Sorry, you know, but
there are hundreds of applicants and
each officer, every legislator, has a
dozen begging for each position"
When the timid girls turn came, she
handed the inpatient looking officer a
letter. She said nothing. She hardly
looked into his face.

nothing for you. 1t was foolish for you

Deyastating Power of Locusts.

\ swarm OF these insects stopped the
advance of Russian army. They
filled the air and blinded both officers
and men. so that the former could give
no orders. and even if they had done so
the men could not have obeyed them.
The horses would not face them, and
they lay on the ground many inches
thick. Every man and horse in the
army was incrustcd with the insects,
and their clothing was literally eaten
off the men as they stood helpless and
blinded. The railways were useless,
as the locusts covered the rails, and the
oil which eXuded from their bodies
when crushed prevented the driving
wheels from biting" After they had
settled whole regiments were detached
for the purpose of trampling them to
death. Trenches were dug across their
path and filed with burning Goals, but
the crowding swarms actually smother
ed the fire. so vast were their numbers.
Even i'm a little island like Cyprus in
one year one-fifth of the entire revenue
was spent in destroying the locusts,
and especially their eggs. When these
eggs are laid, they are Enclosed in n
horny envelope called pod, each
pod containing 80 eggs. In seven
months 1880 tons of pods were de
stroyed. Now, single ton Of pods
contains G0,0O0.OO0 eggs, and yet, In
spite of this almost incredible destruc-
ton. the locusts are still a dreadful
plague and show little If any symri oms
of diminution in numbers.

Der of years ago when he became lost
in the mountain wilds of western Mex

living on wild animals and berries,
without sight of human beings. He
was led from the wilderness by two In

with him. When they got within sight
of civilization this maiden refused to
leave him. Her companion, becoming
Jealous, left them, but returned next
