The Fox and the Flea,.

Reynard is knowing animal.
The foxes are much tormented by
feas, but when the infliction be-
comes too severe they know how to
get rid of the insects. They gather
from the bark Of trees moss, which
they carry to stream that deepens
by degrees. Here they enter the wa
ter, still carrying the moss in their
mouths, and, going backward, be-
ginning from the end Of their tails,
they advance till the whole body,
with the exception of the mouth, is
entirely immersed. The fleas dur
ing this proceeding have rushed in
rapid haste to the dry parts and
finally to the moss, and the fox,
when he has, according to his cal
culation, allowed sufficient time for
all the feas to take their departure,
quietly opens his mouth. The moss
floats off down the stream with its
burden of fleas, and when it is out
of jumping reach the fox finds its
way to the bank much relieved.

Musical Comedy

Musical comedy in the full sense
of the word is what showsboppers
are assured OF at the opera house TO-
night, Thursday, Dec. 18th, when
The Strollers' will be presented.
The book was written for the express
purpose of producing mirth and fur
nishing entertainment. 1t is high
class, clean and wholesome through
out, providing roles admirably suited
to those notable artists Teddy
Webb, the diminutive comedian; :;
Aida Hemmi, prima donna; Aimee
Leicester, comedienne; Joseph w.
smith, tenor; Francis Carrier, bari
tone; George Kundel, basso; Frieda
Wisher, soubrette, and Frank Bert
rand, comedian. The music Is de-
lightful, the composition by Ludwig
Englander being Of the most tuneful'
catchy nature. ''The StrollerS' Is
said to be the greatest money-maX-
ing musical comedy that has been
ptoduced in late years.

Unfortunate Change.

The substitution of one word for
another or the omission of one word
is frequently enough to spoil the ef
feet of an orators eloquence.
Years ago there was military
celebration, in the course of which
various popular military organiza-
tions and regiments were made the
subjects for orations, eulogies and
toasts. One enthusiastic admirer
of the Salem Light infantry had
carefully prepared toast which he
was sure would swell the hearts of
those connected with the company
in question with pride and JOY.
He proposed to begin as follows:
"To the Salem Light infantry! Let
the enemies of our country look on
such troops and tremblep
Unfortunately when the time for
the delivery of his toast came his
wits deserted him.
"The Salem Light Infantry" he
faltered. "The Salem Light infan-
try! Let our country look on such
troops and tremble!"

Couldn't See Him.

An Ohio man tells of the sad case
of young fellow, the son of a
wealthy Toledo manufacturer, who
against his fathers wishes insisted
upon going to Chicago to make his
way, whereas the parent desired
that the son train himself in the To-
ledo business house. At first the lad
did very we'll in the larger city, but
it was not very long before he was
making urgent appeals to his father
for financial assistance. To these
the old gentleman, who had himself
been trained in hard school, turn
ed a deaf ear. Finally the desper-
ate boy wired his father in these
words, "You won't see me starve,
will vou?" The old mans reply
came in the form of the following
telegram: "No, not at this dis
tance." Then the boy decided to
return to Toledo and go to work for
the old man.-Harper's Weekly.

A Misunderstanding. .
Communicated.


At recent meeting Of church peo-
pie in Denver the case Of Rev. DR..
Thomas came up for consideration.
1t was deplored that there had been
so many misunderstanding and mis-
representations respecting his unfor-
tunate illness. The Masons, Trim
ity parish, Greeley and the clergy,
have all been freely criticised and
blamed for their attitude toward
Rev. Mr.. Thomas. But when all
the facts we're brought out 1t as
found that there was no occasion for
criticism whatever. The Masons
had done their part, so had Trinity
parish and the clergy. He was
placed where he was by the direction
of competent phsyicians and those
interested in his welfare. Trinity
Guild, connected with Trinity par
ish, gave their last dollar toward his
support. His family have lived sew
eral months and are now living in
Trinity rectory, free of charge. 1t
was resolved at this meeting Of prot
estant clergy to provide fully for all
the wants Of Rev. Mr.. Thomas.

cocHIHEAL DYE.
The Way the Insects Are Gathered sne
PeapAeed For Oee.

Propased For Ose
The history Of the cochineal in
sect was for a long time very OBJ
scure, and at one time the species
employed in commerce was consid-
cred kind Of grain. 1t was not un-
til near the close of the seventeenth
century that it was discovered to be
Of insect origin. The insect is ma.
tive Of Mexico, where it was raised
by the Mexican Indians long before
the country was discovered by the
Spaniards. 1t is now cultivated in
some of the West Indian islands
and in few of our western states,
but it is in Mexico only that it is
raised in sufficient quantities to
form an article of commerce. The
insect is raised on the cochineal
tree, or Indian fig or nopal, which
is species of cactus.
The cochineal is first collected
about the middle Of December. The
insects are removed from the tree
with a knife, the edge of which has
been blunted, OF are carefully brush
ed off with squirrel tail. This labor
is performed by the women. The
insects are usually killed by the ap-
plication of heat, by baking in ovens
or by the heat of the sun.
When the cochineal arrives in the
market it is in the form of small
grain, having a convex and con-
cave side, but with very little re-
semblance to the body Of an insect
1t is used for dyeing crimson and
scarlet and for making carmine.
Cochineal alone yields purple col
or, which, when mixed with solu-
ton of tin in nitromuriatic acid,
may be changed to most beautiful
scarlet. The discovery is said to
have been made in this wise:
A man who was making a ther-
mometer placed in his window an
extract of cochineal made with boil
ing water, and in some way vial
containing nitromuriatic acid was
broken over it. This acid changed
the purple dye into a most beautiful
dark red, and by experiments this
man soon found that the tin dissolv-
ed in the acid caused the change OF
color. An ingenious dyer at Leyden
Holland, brought the discovery to
perfection. The secret afterward
became known, and large dyeine
establishment was erected in Paris
This accident occurred 800 years
ago.

WANT COOPERATION
Farmers and Vegetable Growers
Forming Association

An organization to be known as
the Vegetable Growers Cooperative
association Is being organized in the
vicinity of Denver, and it Is hoped
to cover the entire state with the
association members. The idea Is q
sort of vegetable clearing house,
through which the farmers will sell
direct to the buyer, and keep the
commission mems profit. Not alone
to save this profit, but to be able to
dispose of their produce, independ-
emily of the Denver commission
mems trust. 1t Is claimed that this
combination has for years kept the
small farmers In the vicinity of Den.
YER from disposing Of more than
small quantities of their vegetables,
In order to keep the price away up,
aud in many instances tons upon
tons of the produce has rotted In the
ground for want of an outlet to out
side markets. Soon these farmers
will be able to ship produce in car
load or trainload lots to outside
markets.
Such a cooperative association has
been organized In Texas and Is said
to work out admirably.
The principal idea Of the whole
thing is sort Of swapping of pro-
duce with other parts of the country.
When some other part Of the country
is long on certain article and this
country Is short, sort of exchange
can be made for some other article
by the different cooperative organiza-
tions working together.

Entertain Elaborately.

Mrs. William Mayher and her
daughter, Mrs. f. E. Stockover.
have been the hostesses of series Of
social affairs the last week. The
parties have been so thoroughly Ell.
joyable and have been marked by
their elegant simplicity. The dec
orations consisted of an artistic
mingling of greens with chrysanthe-
NUNS and carnations.
The first was a thimble party

The two hostesses were assisted In
receiving their guests and in serving
refreshments by Mesdames H. Fl.

@. Fl. Rea. There were sixty ladies
present.

another thimbie party at which sixty
ladies we're present. They were
again assisted In receiving and serv-
ing their guests by Mesdames IL. H.

Was Well Received.

Joseph G. Camp, the southern
orator, pleased large audience at
the First Presbyterian church last
Monday evening in his lecture,
Truths and Shams. - Mr.. Camp
came as the second number in the
Tribune lecture course. He was alb
solutely unknown here, except as for
the advertising given him In the
way Of republished press notices from
other parts of the country where he
has spoken.
The only adverse criticism that
might be offered on Mr.. Camps lec-
ture was that he spoke a little too
long. Two hours is too long time
for one man to hold an audience
with just word pictures, but barring
the last fifteen minutes or so, Mr..
Camp held the close attention of his
audience.
Mr.. Camp has fine voice and
understands we'll the tricks Of ora
tory and his eloQuence has probably
never been excelled here.
The next number in the lecture
course will be the Midland Concert
company of four ladies. 1t is sale
to be one of the very best organiza
tions of the kind on the road. Th'
date is Thursday, Jan. 10. Ticket

CURVED LINES IN VENICE.

Great Charms.
How much of its charm does the
grand canal at Venice owe to its
windings, and how much would
some of its palaces lose were they to
be marshaled along their watery
highway Strengthened out until ono
could see from the railway station
to the ducal palace? asks the Archi-
tectural Record. How much of their
fascination do SO many country
towns Of Italy or England owe to
the curvature of their streets Look,
for instance, at the picture of the
Via Sedbelloni at Bellagio, where
the houses have obviously strung
themselves along the track of farm
wagons rotted away maybe these
thousands of years, but which took
the easiest route uphill. What charm
did those long forgotten feet OF
wheels lend to the irregular course
they unthinkingly marked out!
Look at the picture of the street
seen through the ancient gateway Of
Bologna! This long buried Strada
delP Abbondanza at Pompeii SO
nearly approaches the superb in the
sweep of its lines and the regularity
of its massive piers that it is hard
to believe that the effect such q
highway ought to have. They seem
to have understood the value Of
equal spacing and continuous cor
nices on curve in England better
than on the continent. They have
found the conditions there and glad
ly accepted them for motive. There
is the famous example of Regents
Circus in London, Of the Crescent
at Bath, where the resulting effect
is very striking in its logic and Or
der. In the west end of London are
many curved streets of houses OF
similar and commonplace design
yet looking very handsome and dig
