THE DEADLY TOY PISTOL.
Forerunner of Annual SaturnoIia of
Nuisances


The following article in the current
issue of Leslie's Weekly is decidedly
apropos at this time:
THE appearance Of the toy piston
in the streets suggests an early and
vigorous protest against the annual
saturnalia of noise and nuisances OF
which this pestilent playtning is a
forerunner. Public sentiment has
voiced itself for several years in no
uncertain tones against the observ-
ance Of independence day in sucn a
manner as to place a premium on
rodyism and the daredevil spirit
which reveals in dangerous and noisy
sports and pastimes. The authorities
of our cities and towns will be upheld
by the public generally In strict and
impartial enforcement of the laws amt
ordinances applying to the use of fire
arms and explosives. No one desires
to abolish the observance OF the
fourth of July as joyful holiday, but
the desire is to rescue this greatest
and best Of our national anniversaries
from it's present estate as mere car
nival of barbaric and senseless noise,
and to restore to it some Of its for
mer and time-nonored features as
day for the medication of sound and

Unabashed Guilt.

DR.. Silas G. Swallow, apropos Of IN
abashed guilt, said one day:
.'Of this type was certain dealer

'"The mans shop had look Of ele

was, however, not averse to an occa

HE once sold to a tourist a little
elephant that he declared to be Of
ivory. But that night at his hotel the
tourist happened to place a lighted
match near the elephant, and with q
puff the carving took fire and blazeo
fercely. It was only celluloid
''The tourist took the charred pur

" Yes, sir; that is correct.

THE FATHERLAND.

Where is the true mans raCnerIand?

Doth not the yearning spirit scorn
In such scant borders to be spawned?
OH, yes! his fatherland must be

Is it alone where freedom is,
Where God is God and man is man
Doth he not claim a broader span
For the soul's love of home than this?
Oh, yes! his fatherland must be
AS the blue heaven wide and free!
Where'er a human heart doth wear
joys myrtle wreath or sorrows

Where'er human spirit strives
After life more true and fair,
There is the mans birthplace grand,

Where'er a single slave doth pine,

GUS Ills.
There are indications OF a full croI

There are indications OF q full crop
of bug and insects throughout the
northwest, whatever the other crop
reports may be. Mosquitoes lead the
list and are quoted strong. The we,
weather is bringing them out in great
numbers to increase those already
here. Every tablespoonful Of water
standing for twelve days may produce
several hundreds of the little pests
This fact makes the future look black
indeed-witn mosquitoes. Already
the netting is running low and sandal
wood sticks are in demand. Wiscon-
sin is deemed fortunate that there is
no malaria here, for we have mum
bers of the Misunderstanding mo,
squitoes-Anophel es-nere. A slight
outbreak anywhere might at once be
spread far and wide.
In spite of the outlook nothing has
been done in this vicinity to combat
the pest, neither of the two we'll
known remedies having been put into
effect. Of these the more effective in
a limited area is covering all stagnant
water with a thin coating of crude oil
On a large tract this is not pract1c
able, but the alternate course-a com
plete drainage is Of great value, says
the professor.
Along with the mosquitoes have ap'
peared many other insects. OF great
interest to farmers is the ring worm.
which is damaging wheat in places
Cut worms and currant worm are on
hand as usual, while leaf hoppers are
not unknown.
Dispatches from New York report
an immense swarm of flies in England
and the eastern states which may
equal the famous plaques Of Egypt.
The fly would be plague worse than
the mosquito on account Of his
superior disease bearing powers. He
circulates busily from the sick room
to the dining room or kitchen, and
carries infection with him. His feet
and body are covered with minute
thousands Of tnem-which may
transport countless germs wherever
he may go, which is practically every
where. The terrible outbreak OF
typhoid in the army in 1898 is trace,
able directly to flies.
One particular breed Of fly which,
in another way is causing good deal
of damage is the phorbia barssicae,
which is destroying cabbage and
caulifower to a great extent. II
lays its eggs in the cabbage or on the
ground near it. In due time these
hatch out into hungry caterpillers
which do much harm. The remedy
for these has been discovered and ii
very efficacious A carbolic ac1c
emulsion thoroughly sprayed on kills
the flies and larvae without injuri1g
