HEssIAN FLY NOW Is FEARED.
Many Kansas Wheat Fields Are said
to Be Infested.

Atchison, Kan, Dec. 5.-Atchison
farmers fear the ravages of the Hes
sian fly next spring, as several who
have made close examination of their
fields insist that they are infested with
countless millions of the fly. eggs.
Hessian flies have not damaged
wheat to any extent in this part of the
state for nine years. but the dry
weather this fall has given the insects
an unusual opportunity to get in their
work. It is not believed, however, that
the drouth itself has been particularly
harmful to the wheat in other re-
spectS.

of learning down the huge ice house
at Bean lake owned and operated by
the Swift Packing company for many

Oriqinal of FalstaH.

Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day was a continual butt for the jests of the town and borough of Southwark. Though he had fought at Agincourt, W hen Jack Cade invaded the borough. hc showed great cowardice. When C"de was yet some way off Fastolf had armed and fortified his house and garrisoned it with veterans of the French wars On the arrival of Cade. however he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower, leaving his neigh bors to the mercy of the rebels. Fas- tolf's matrimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpop- ularity, for, having married widow named Scrope, he seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheri- tance during his own lifetime.-Lon- don News

"Great Expectations."

Charles Green. one of Dickens H. Illustrators, had two models, one of whom was a likable fellow, while the other. Gregory by name. was greedy. self seeking character, always think ing of himself and his perquisites.
 When Green was on his deathbed Gregory was very officious, and one day Green. noticing this. said to him:
 "Oh. l haven't forgotten you, Greg Vry; got you down in my will"
 At the funeral Gregory invested in a wreath and duly attended to hear the will read.
 Green had kept his word. and the model was not forgotten.
 "To my dear friend Gregory" ran the document. "I leave, for his kind ness to me, an illustrated edition of Great Expectations.'

The Old Enoljsh Prize Riud.

In the latter days of the English prize ring lnnumerable expedients had to be devised to bring off fight. \ aSorite plan was to pitch the ring on the borders of two counties, so that the question of magisterial jurisdiction might be rendered difficult. Another plan was to charter a steamboat an.l proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot in the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Savers and Heenan in 1860 special train was run from Lon don bridge to secret destination. But the passengers, who comprised members of parliament, peers, pick pockets. pugilists, clergy and, !t is said, few bishops, cheerfully tetk tickets simply marked excursion. ' They presently found themselves near Farnborough, in Surrey, where the 6ght occurred.-London Chronicle.

kni9hted Actors.

It is an odd fact that of the English actors knighted all but one had first to legalize the names under which they had won fame. The question arose with the first proposition to confer knighthood on gypsy. It would be absurd so to honor one John Henry Brodrihb. Yet legally no such person as Henry Irving" existed. No such obstacle had to be overcome when. on the occasion of Victoria's diamond jubilee. Squire Bancroft knelt before his queen and arose sir squire. How ever. the three actors knighted b!

orally Eat It.

Fire clay has been in use for cen. turies. and yet 1 believe the industry is one which lacks definite laws more than any other, including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence. You can go to manufacturer of steel and specify what you want by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod, uct by chemical analysis or mechanical tests and thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to combine in order to get result at least very closely approaching what you call for, but not so in the fire clay business. In the past the most skilled and highest salaried chemists have been employed to make tests, to promote and carry through investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated articles derived therefrom. The result has been. generally speaking. confusion worse confounded. Two professors,
 
 clay obtained from the same source and manufactured under exactly equal conditions. have recorded diametrieally opposed conclusions! The same scien- lists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, so can you wonder if promi- nent fire clay manufacturer should ex- claim. as heard one on an occasion after having the above experience, "All tests of fire clay are empirical, and would sooner trust our superintend- ent to pick and select his clays in the old fashioned way than pay high fee for a highbroW's recommendations? The chief method of testing fire clay by practical man is literally to eat 1t. He can detect grit and sand best by that method, and a good fire clay (free from silica. quartzite or flint clay) is free from grit.

 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose blackened, lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpea ehable; the next we were grap. bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-un- known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi- geons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to us, and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice fllers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now came the real substantial meal, where In every dish had an accompaniment Of smaller ones, containing gravies etc., in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with Oul Sdll, AOdSl SOSAAAE DIS, AOANCAAS. .tt balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilled fresh water fish. which, according to custom, was helped from the top side only, for the Chinese remembers his iservant. And, finally, at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
