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.

A JOKE ON THE TEAMSTER.
He Rongbljr Ordered General Sherman to
Brush Hi, Mulct.
A good story is told of one of General
Sherman's Missouri toamsters. 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."

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. .
