THAT PETITION,
The Fifty-two Names Asking For
Constable for Newherry--Hon.
Alan Johnstone Writes,

The Herald and News stated in
Fridays paper that the petition ask
ing for the appointment of Il consta-
bic for Ncwherry was signed by fif-
ty-two names and that most of the
Signers lived in the city, The peti-
tion with the Signatures is given be-
low. 1t seems that the Hon. Alan
tombstone, one Of the Ncwberry del
legation, conferred with the governor
about the appointment Of the con-
stable and that he also wrote a, let
ter asking the appointment, though
his name does not appear to the pc
tition as stated by him in The Herald
and News of Friday.
The people who sign the petition
are good la%abiding citizens. The
Herald and News could not if it
! would say ought against them and it
would not If it could. The opinion
# The Herald and News remains UNI
; changed. however, that there was no
demand for the appointment of a
! special constable for Newberrv. and
that it will simply be adding that
much to the expenses Of the county.
/ This work should be done by the
sheriff and the magistrates and their
, onstables.
The arrects that were made last
week could have been made by the
sheriff and his deputies or the con-
stable Of the magistrate. Why should
he cnuntv be put to the extra en-
nen>e Of constable when the work
r.ull and should be done by the re-
.nlArly constituted authorities.
The f"llowin" is a copy of the
'"ttcr Of the Hon. Alan Johnstone
who seems to have the destination of
h"!Mg the only person consulted by
the governor apart from the petition
Of tiftv-two names Of good citizens.

Netting is an art easily acquired,
and is a pleasant pastime for both
sexes, the greatest difficulty being TO
tear oneself away from the fascina-
ton Of the work once the stitch has
been learned. There is just enough
movement to prevent your feeling
wholly idle, leaving the thoughts to
wander over the coming summer sea-
son when your hammock or tennis
net will be put out. Besides, 1t lends
an additional charm to those sought
after objects, to know that they are
the weaving of your own hand, says
the Montreal Herald. 1t may be too
early to start making. summer arti-
cles, but there are still things such
as fishing nets, chair seats, and the
like, which may be made for imme-
date use.
To those who are DESTROYS Of start
Ing, the first thing to be done is to
obtain the netting instruments.
These latter consist of a needle Gig.

What We Owe to Insects.

Professor Darwin said that If it
had not been for insects we should
never have had any more imposing
or attractive flowers than those of
the elm, the hop and the nettle. Lord
Avebury compares the work of the
insect to that of the florist. He con-
siders that just as the florist has by
selection produced the elegant BIOS
sons Of the garden, so the insects, by
selecting the largest and brightest
blossoms for fertilization, have pro-
duced the gay flowers of the field.
Professor Plateau, of Client, has car
ried out a series of remarkable eX-
| periments on the ways of insects Wis
iting flowers. He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color, and in this connection he is at
variance with certain British natural
lists. Whatever may be the attrac-
ton in flowers to insects-as yet it
appears underneath is certain that
the latter visit freely all blossoms
| alike, making no distinction between
the large, bright colored ones and the
less conspicuous bloom, like those of
the currants, the lime, the planetree,
the nettle and the willow.-Dundee
Advertiser.
