Forty years ago a bricklayer was certain Iv twilve hours' wurruk a day, or two hours more thin a convicted busglar. Today he has practically nawthiir to do an won't do that.

Capital still pats Labor on th back but on'y with an ax. Laybor refuses to be treated as a frlnd. It wants to be threated as an inlmy. It thinks it gets more that way. They ar-re still a happy fam'ly but it's more liko an English fam'ly. They don't speak. What do I think Iv it all? Ah, sure,-1 don't know. I belong to th' onforchnit middle class.

REMEMBER SALE EILERS PIANO HOUSE e 351 WASHINGTON PEDIGREE IS NOT KNOWN SMELLING -BUG HAS NOT BEEN THOROUGHLY I N VESTf G ATED. Entomologists Can Name "Beetle, but Are Doubtful About Its Habits and History. There is no longer any mystery con cerning: the small bug: which has lately caused such a disturbance In a number of Portland stores by emitting: a stench the like 6f which was never en countered before. He Is not a smelling: bug- at all. A bug-, no matter how small In size it may be, which can be as far-reaching In its Influence as the one in question, Is considered by scien tists to be entitled to a long and un pronounceable name, so they call him tho malodorous carabid, nomlus pyg maeus, dej. , W. F. Woodward had rather an over dose of the homius pygroaeus during the days when he was called a plain smelling- bug-, so he wrote to the Divi sion of Entomology, Department of Agr rlculture, at Washing-ton, to ascertain why the bug- and wherefore his smell. In replying- tho department sent him the proceeding's of the ninth annual meeting of the Association of Economic Entomologists, which was held at De troit, Mich., in August, 1897. The bul letin contains a lengthy paper on the nomius pygmaeus, in which the belief Is expressed that It passes Its larval existence In very wet places, probably among- the vegetation of swamps, al though It Is frankly admitted that Its life history is unknown. But as early as 1888 it was known to occur In Ore gon, as shown by an -extract from tho report of the president of this society, delivered in that year: "The folloVlng are examples of re markable distribution, of which I am unable to offer a satisfactory explana tion: Nomlua pygmaeus, a neat-looking carabid beetle, but Justly dreaded by those who have had an opportunity of finding it, on account of It3 over powering foetid odor, occurs In Wash ington .Territory, Oregon, at Lake Su perior and on the high mountains of North Carolina, a distribution partici pated in by several species of distinct ly Arctic origin. The .same species oc curs as an extreme rarity In Southern Europe, specimens "being occasionally found In Southern France, Hungary and Greece. An importation of this species, which is by ho means common even in North America, by the agency of man is utterly Inconceivable." Professor Walter B. Barrows, of the Michigan Agricultural College, tells in this report of his first experience with the nomlus and his effort to discover what It was. His Btory reads very much like that of the hapless Portland ers who were unfortunato enough to be visited by this odoriferous beetle this Summer. But Oregonlans are to be congratulated on one thing, and that Is that tnis state Is not Infested by them as Michigan seems to be. One Instance Is given In the report In ques tion of a lawn party given at Lansing having to come to an abrupt termina tion on account of tho presence of a few of these bugs, and Professor Bar rows tells of being awakened at night by the awful stench coming In through the windows. He says: "Sometimes the stench lasts only a few seconds, sometimes comes"and goes at short and irregular intervals, some times lasts for half an hour or more. The beetles seem to fly only at night, and to throw out the smell only when attacked, or at least threatened by an enemy." Processor Barrows further, states that -all tho specimens he was able to capture were taken either In spider webs or while trying to free them selves from portions of the web which still clung to them after their escape. The Portland cases do not quite tally A VERY PEW USED PIANOS. All in excellent condition.

It has been suggested by facetious in dividuals that the last part of the name should rightfully be stlnkmaeus, but science does not so decree. EVENING INSTITUTE.
