Unless we shall agree to assume a protectorate over the Philippines the insurgent Filipinos will not lay down their arms ; and they threat en that if we should withdraw from the islands they would begin a new rebellion within a month. The Filipinos are quite as ridiculous as was the fly on the wheel of the chariot in Aesop's fable ; they seem' to believe that they have really rais ed all the dust whirled up in our conflict with Spain. An American protectorate over the Philippines may be one of the consequences of the war ; but since the burden of the task would be ours we should prefer to decide so momentous a matter without regard for the buzz ings of the Filipinos. The Wheat Fly. State Economic Zoologist H. T. Fernald, speaking of the fly in wheat, which has proven so injurious to the crops of this state, says : "I am at last able to give the result of my study of the insects injuring the wheat. The injury was caused by the joint worm, a very small fly, which occasionally is very injurious and very hard to con tiol; in fact, about the only thing to do is to cut the wheat high and burn the stubble, and also to use the straw before spring, as the insect passes the winter in the straw. Its destruction by burning the stubble and using up the straw during the winter will re move most of the insects, which would otherwise produce another generation the pext year." The congregation and Sunday school of St. Columba's church of this town will hold a picnic in the Hess Grove, at Rupert, on Saturday. Metherell's Orchestra will be present to furnish music, and refreshments of various kinds will be served on the grounds. The public is cordially invited. |) Perhaps you have made s| 1? up your mind to take si 1 Scott's S j Emulsion j ly this summer. >® If Then look for c| I? this picture on /fjgMr (f 1/ the wrapper, a ttlnf <§ I? man with a big sli-ll >i |f fish on his back. s| §< Do not let anyone talk to ®/ you of something " just C® ; ) as good."

He had just joined tho sorvioo, a raw recruit, and was assigned the task of driving a six mule team. When the army halted for tho first night, he was wearily un harnessing his team. "Hello there," said tho wag of tho oompany.in passing. "What do you mean by taking care of those mules yourself? Why don't you have the hostler do it?" "Why, I thonght every mah had to take caro of his own team," said the bewildered teamster. - "Von bet he doesn't. We've got a hostler for that. There's his tent right ovor there. He's a lazy, oontrary old enss, and ho may not want to do it, but yon swear at him and he'll move off at double quick." The Missourian strode over to the tent indicated, whiah happened to lie General Sherman's headquarters. "Here, you son of a gun," he roared fiercely, "get out of here and brush those muloa" Needless to say, the teamster spent the evening in tho guardhouse. A pious old Indiana farmer was as signed to tlie duty of teaming, probably by mistake. The roads were mnddy, and the rest of the teamsters were lit erally bombarding their charges with oaths. It was against the old man's principles to swear, and he hold his peace, albeit in impotent rage. At last ono of the hind mules balked and re fused to advance a step. The old man used every endeavor to urgo tho beast along, but to no purpose. At last he roared in a loud and solemn voice: "Oh, Lord, you know where this mule ought to be as well as anybody. This whole army knows where ho ought to be this minute. He knows where he ought to bo. I know whero ho ought to be, oh, Lord, and if he doesn't move in a minute I intend to say so, by gum." —Chicago Inter-Ocean. GLADSTONE AS A CHEMIST. An Incident In the Grand Old Man's Ca reer In the Commons. If Mr. Gladstone seldom indulged in sarcasm, it was not because he lacked the gift—for he possessed it in a high degree—but because ho forbore to use it. To hurt an opponent's feelings gave him pain and when ho did it uninten tionally ho would sometimes cross the floor of the house, and, sitting for a few moments by tho side of tho man whom ho had just demolished, say something to assuage the wound. One of his most persistent, but never ill nntured, critics was tho late Sir John Pope Hennessy, who told me the following story to il lustrate this generous trait in Mr. Glad stone's character. Sir John prided himself on his knowl edge of chemistry, and in one of the debates on tho commercial treaty with Franco ho made a speech exposing, us ho bolioved, a serious chemical blunder in tho treaty. Mr. Gladstone followed, "and soon turned me inside out in the most amusing manner," said Hennessy in relating tho story, "proving, as if he hud beon a chemist by profession, that it was I who hud blundered egregious ly." Having thus disposed of his critic, Mr. Gladstonu went and sat by him for a moment. "I hope yon don't feel hurt, Mr. Hennessy." he said.."Your speech wus ingenious, and it may console you to know that tho omperor of the French made precisely the same objection that you have made. The fact is, both you and ho know a good deal about chem istry, but not enough to keep you from going astray.''—Canon McColl in Fort nightly Review. Early Whlit. Mrs. Hervey writes on <sct. 25, 1607, to her husband, that his "four sisters havo been hear this afternoon, and as they never come unattended, brought with them Mr. Ga—, Mr. Down— and Mr. Bo—. Part of them staid and play ed nt whish (sic) tel this moment, which is past 11 a'clock." Twenty years later (March 18, 1717) Lord Hervey, as his title was then, writes to tho Rev. Mr. Thomas Fouikes, tho tutor of Mad Tom Hervey, at Ox ford, about that sou's gambling pro pensities. Ho is to follow the example of his "good grandfather Hervey, who, pray tell Tom, never played at any gumo but whist, and at that only in Christmas time for sixpence a corner." Lady Bristol was at Bath in April, 1728, and was then in the center of the world of whist. "Poor Bishop Nevell," she writes, "can scarce be reckoned among tho living, being (in my oppin ion) wors than dead. They say ho sitts at Lindsay's with ono to hold his cards and another to give him snuff. Palsey and gont have brought him to this rniss irable condition." On May 1 she cheer fully informs her husband that the di version of tho evening is the puppet show. "Betty is gone with Lady Tor ringtou. The whiskers have promised mo some diversion after 'tis over."— Notes and Queries. The C(inning Fox. The sagacity of the fox is most won derful. It is related that he is tor mented by fleas, and when the inflic tion becomes unbearable he gathers a mouthful of moss and slowly walks backward into the nearest stream until only tho mouth is left above the surface of the water. The fleas meantime take refuge on the moss, and when the fox Is satisfied that they have all embarked ho opens his mouth, and the moss drifts awuy, while the wily fox regains the bank, happy in freedom from his tor mentors. —Exchange. .
