Editor Tidings: An article enti tled 'Notes About Ants and Their Resemblance to Man," appearing in the current issue of the National Geographical Society's Magazine, contains a paragraph which is of vital interest to orchardists. That the spread of the apple aphis and peach aphis which are rapidly be coming the most troublesome of our orchard pests is in some way helped by the ants must be the conclusion drawn by every intelligent observer who has had to deal with the pest for a, number of years, and he will be quite prepared to believe, as tounding as they may appear, the statements made in the article re ferred to. . The author is Professor William Morton Wheeler of Harvard University, an undoubted authority on the subject. Evidently the ant is to be regarded by the fruit growers in the light of an enemy, and since it is hopeless to attempt its extermin ation, the only way of preventing the mischief caused by his epicurean desires would seem to make it impos sible for him to ascend the tree. This should be done early in the spring by painting a narrow band around the tree with some sticky preparation such as "tanglefoot." WILLIAM TAVERNER. Professor Wheeler says: "One of the earliest departures from an exclusively animal diet is seen among the ants which attend plant lice and feed on-their sacchar ine excrement. Many ants are so inordinately fond of this food that they not only acquire an inti mate acquaintance with the habits of the adult plant lice and scale in sects, but actually collect and store their eggs in the nests during winter in order that they may during the ensuing spring distribute the hatch ing young over the -roots or foliage of the plants. This is a well-developed habit among the species of Lasius throughout temperate North America and Eurasia." Illegal Slaughter of Fish. Medford Mail Tribune: There seems to be something peculiarly de moralizing about market fishing just as there is about market hunt ing. No law, designed for the pro tection of fish, and hence to benefit the fishermen themselves in the long run, is safe from violation. If the fishermen cannot get the fish fast enough legitimately, they Immediate ly resort to illegitimate means. The Rogue river and its tributaries was closed by the people of Oregon to all except rod and line, fishermen. The latter have been permitted to sell salmon only when caught with rod and line. That has not prevent ed the few market fishermen who haunt the stream from resorting to both nets and dynamite. ThoiiEanJs of dead fish line the banks of the stream, mute testimoni als to the persistent lawlessness of the fishermen and suspicion points to the market fishermen, for incen tive is lacking for others. The half dozen nets confiscated also speak for their illegal activity. The season is too far advanced now to make salmon fishing profitable. The fish are spawning and unfit to eat. It Is only an occasional one that is unspotted. Hence we find the market fishermen devoting them selves to catching steelhead and other trout, the sale of which is pro hibited by law. Go along the river, near the camp of any market fisher men, and you will find not only dynamited fish, but various holes baited with salmon eggs for trout. Why do market fishers catch steel head, except to violate the law by Belling them? Every fish market that purchases steelhead of other trout violates the law. Every person who purchases them from the markets, or from the fishermen, violates the law and is subject to arrest, fine and imprison ment. , It Is to protect the fish and to re stock the streams that anglers pay tnelr annual license. But what Is the use of thousands so contributing when a dozen lawless fishermen make a business of slaughtering more in a few minutes than the natchery can turn out? The steelhead and trout are most ly marketed under the guise of "gifts." The fish are "presents" from the market fisherman. No money changes hands at the time but it does subsequently or previous ly. No market fisherman can make a living by carrying his catch from the river to give away, and those suppos edly lawabiding, respectable citizens in conspiracy with him ought to be ashamed of themselves they are a miserable kind of sportsmen. The wanton abuse of their privi lege by market fishermen can only have one result the absolute pro hibition of the sale of all fish, no matter how caught. By their illegal acts these fishermen have not onlv brought upon themselves the indig nation or tne community, but have created a strong public sentiment to put them out of business altogether. They have proved themselves un worthy of trust. A ToiiNt. Here's to the man whose hand Is firm as it clasps your own Like a grip of steel, That makes you feel You are not in .the world alone.

He was a large, pompous man. Intolerably self conceited and arrogant In fact, his conduct toward his neighbors was so offensive that the good people success fully requested their minister to preach a sermon directed at tbeir vain neigh bor. The day came. The little kirk was packed, though a few tender hearted ones stayed at home, not wishing to witness their neighbor's humiliation. The sermon began, and Mr. McDou gall disposed himself to listen. The man's Infirmity was sketched with bold, severe strokes. lie smiled with lofty superiority. As the denunciation grew more scathing his smile deepened with a touch of complacent pity. At the conclusion of the service he swag gered down the aisle. One of the eld ers joined him. "Weel. what did ye think of the ser mon?" the latter ventured to ask "A great effort, sir," was the answer, "but personal. The meenlster aimed his shots too directly. Poor MacTav Ish! I felt sorry for him. but the man's conceit is enormous, sir!" A Sheer Waste of Money. "When I played politics and little else," observed "Indian Jim" Finlny, "I was delegated to raise a subscrip tion to buy a solid brass chandelier for a well konwn politician who first saw tbe light of day In the Emerald Isle. It was to be a present to him to be installed In tbe parlor of a new bouse he was about to more into. Among those I tackled for ax contri bution was an Irishman who had been born In the same town and came across the pond about the same time as the politician. I told him what was to be bought with tbe money, and as he put bis name down for a fiver, he blurted out: "I was born and brought np with Blank, and it Is like throwing money In the river buying the likes of him a chandelier, as the dlvil of a note can he play on it." Kansas City Journal. Boston's Spinning School. Comparatively few people know that there was once a "spinning school" on Boston common. Winsor's "Memorial History of Boston" records that upon the arrival in Boston of some Irish spinners and weavers a spinning craze took possession of the town, "and the women, young and old, high and low, rich and poor, flocked into tbe spinning school, which for want of better quar ters was set up in tbe common, in the open air. Here the whir of their wheels was heard from morning to night." Thirty-five years later the So ciety For Encouraging Industry and Employing the Poor again used the common as a spinning school, about 300 young women appearing there. seated at their wheels, as a sort of ex ample and advertisement Dublin Book Pirates. Dublin Is rich In literary associations and during the eighteenth century was a busy publishing center. Some of its enterprises, however, were not of a very reputable kind. Ireland was then outside tbe copyright Inws and Eng lish books were "pirated" in Dublin as 'freely as afterward In America. Some Dublin publishers are said to have kept spies in the London printing bouses and by this means were able to Issue "pirated" editions of Import ant books colucidently with and some times even before the appearance of the authentic issue.
