Insect i in migration is ordinarily a
thing to be dreaded but occasionally a
foreign bug worth welcoming applies for
naturalization. The Australian lady bug
served ns an offset for the 300,000,
000 scales imported from Tahiti and
now, says the Examiner, Mr. James
Sliiun has succeeded in domesticating at
Niles an insect that bids fair to raise fig
culture in California from the rank of a
harmless amusement to that of one of
the great industries of the state. The
little wasp that is going 4o do this favor
enters the flowers of the otherwise use
less Capri fig, loads itself with pollen,
and carries it to 'the'Smyrn'a fig. With
out this assistance the latter does not
mature, and it is the lack of the little
wasp with the big n&meBlaslophaga
ptiisea that has confined ' California
hitherto to the culture of the inferior
California fig, instead of the' luscious
fruitof Smyrna.: '. "
A TREE I& KNOWN BY ITS FRUIT.
We have never admired the methods
of the Salvation Army their assumption
of military titles, military ' airs, street
parades, band music and tain borines
their loud mouthed piety and general
extravagance ; but we have always held
and hold now that they are doing a work
that none of the churches, as at1 'present
constituted, canl' do,' or at least eeem
willing to attempt. ;' It was a grand prin
ciple laid down by the the great Master
himself, "He that is not 'against' 'tis is
for us" and any. body of' meii who"ar6
doing good, :and helping to lift their1 fel
low men from vice' 'and depravity and
succeeding too, in 'a marvelous' ' degree,
should at least be protected from, ridicule
by those who pretend to"' be so.: much
mord. intelligent , and wise. We .'are
led to these thoughts by a statement
that appeared" a, short tithe ago In
the Ohio. Stale journal in these
words : "We have ' before us 'a
list of about fifty names of residents
of Columbus a list that we consider as
in the main reliable who have been
rescued by the Salvation ' Army, since
Its advent in this city," from 'the lowest
conditions of moral depravity,' vice' and
wretchedness, and transformed into
peaceable, sober and industrious citizens.
The list does not propose to be in any
way complete, and was hastily, compiled
by a couple of individuals: neither of
whom is working m the Salvation Army
ranfcg." ' .' '':'-";
THE SA VIOR'S COAT.
It is estimated that nearly a -thousand
American citizens have gone -to Europe
tft witness.jthe exhibition. of the supposed
coat of Jesus of Nazareth, ' which com
menced at Treves on the 18th irist. " To
those who have not their atlases before
jihem it may. be well ' to " men Hon that
Treves is a city of Rhenish Prussia, the
oldest municipalityin Germany. It is
situated on the right bank of the Moselle
', in a lovely valley between vine covered
.hills, about 85 miles south west of Cob
lentz. Its famous cathedral of St.' Peter
and St. Helen retains considerable re
mains in its iuterior of a previously ex
isting Roman church of the age of Con-
stantine. . It contains numerous rich old
chasubles, missals, and famous relics and
among others the "Holy Coat," which is
esteemed Its greatest treasure. The tra
dition is that the coat was won in a
. raffle by a soldier of Augustus, was. car
, ried by him to Treves and was there dis
covered in the fourth century by the
. Empress Helena,' who deposited it in the
cathedral. The Treves relics' were' con
cealed from the Normans in the ninth
century in crypts, but the holy coat was
rediscovered in 1196 and then solemnly
exhibited to the pnblic gaze. ' ' The next
,': exhibition was in 1512. when, multitudes
- flocking to see and venerate it, Leo X
' appointed it to be exhibited- every seven
years. The reformation- and wars pre
vented the observance of this great re
ligious festival but it was celebrated in.
;1S1U, and was-attended by - a concourse
of no fewer than 227,000 persons, and
. Again in 1844 by still greater multitudes.
." This is the last time it has been placed
on ,-, exhibition ; since 1844. i Whatever
opinions men may form as to the ' genu
iness of the relic it is a well' established
.act -that Angustus . was ..particularly'
prond of Treves. No place in Germany
is so rich in the remains of the Roman
period and it is beyond question that
Augustus sent many of his soldiers there.

said one, .''that a., silver dollar, twirled
on a- smooth surface,- will always- come

again and again, and nearly every -time,
sure enough, the dollar stopped talis up. i
Talk about loaded dice," said the hrst
one, laughing, "you see Uncle earn loads
his dollars." The dollars are so stamped i

Newark, N.- J., Aug. 25. Jesse L.
Weller, the defaulting clerk of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna &. .Western Railway
company, at the Broad-street station;
Newark, admitted to Judge Kirkpatrick
yesterday that he had stolen .759, He

as bis bondsmen had made good his de-1
falcation and had been .reimbursed by
the sale of property Weller owned. 'He

Pre pars to Surrender Tonr Neckties.
The young man of the period must not
be surprised if, when he is off on his va
cation and sitting on - the hotel piazza
with his best summer girl, she should
suddenly inform him that the necktie he
has on is "very pretty and quite the
thing for my rug. . Just give- it ta me
when you are done with it,' please. Of
course he meekly hands it over without
so much as asking why, but the reason
is soon given and the astonished man
finds that she is saying the same thing
to all the other fellows. She must need
quite a collection.
But what ' this girl does with them is
this: She cuts them into strips about an
inch wide and sews them together, form
ing long strips of varied colors. This is
pleasant work for a summer afternoon
and the maiden makes a pretty picture
seated with a large box overflowing with
daintily colored silks, and while she chat
ters away and easily sews them together
her attendant cavalier winds the long
strips into good sized balls. Not a very
different picture from that her grand
mother made while being assisted - to
wind a skein of worsted. At the end of
the season there will be several large
balls and then these are sent to be woven
into a soft pretty rug that will grace the
hardwood floor of our maiden's room.

The Fast of Ramadan.
Ramadan, the Mussulman's terrible
month of daily fasting, is like the China
man's New Year, governed by the moon.''
This year, precisely at the moment the
new moon became visible on the morn
ing of April 8, Ramadan began and con
tinued throughout ' the lunar month.
The origin of this long fast seems shroud
ed in mystery, as it is said to have been ob
served by the fire worshipers long before
before the the time of Mahomet Ali, who
thought the command to all true believ
ers to fast for eleven months in the year
was too much to require of mortal flesh.
Through the angel Gabriel he therefore
besought the Great Spirit to -reduce the
time one-half. : " Finding this still a
heavy trial, he again interceded and got
the tima-fixed at one lunar month, where
it still remains.-. .During this awful
month nothing in the way of food passes
the true Mohammedan's mouth between
dawn and 'sunset. In the morning; as
soon as a white thread can be ' dis an
guished -from a black one, the fast be
gins. St. Louis Republic. :
