African Fruit Ruined by Insects.
Half measures are of no avail in deal
ing with the parasitic fly ceratitis that
scourge of the fruit farmers in South
Africa. Mr. William Tuck of Grahams
town, who expresses this opinion, is a
hit,!, authority on fruit farming. He
tells ns that in the eastern province
thev can never depend on any fruit ex
cept grapes coining to ripeness without
damage from fly larvte, though where,
owing to high altitude 3,000 feet to
1,000 and over there are sharp frosts
every winter such fruits as can stand
the cold are fairly free from the plague,
because the larva cannot tule over tfte
frost.
It sometimes happens that scarcely a
peach ripens in the whole province with
out a worm inside. Mr. Tuck is for he
roic remedies. He is decidedly of opin
ion that if a general and perfect destruc
tion of all tho fruit grown in any one
year could be brought about by the com
mon consent of the whole body of fruit
growers the fly might be stamped out,
but he mournfully confesses inai me
universal system of "go as you please,
added to the isolated life of cap farms,
rendersany such united action of a year's
self denial for the common good quite
impracticable. London News.

the most good. In a down town store

that in France when the great joints
grew distasteful and small dishes took
their place decorations of the table
changed too. Permanent pieces called
"dormants," or "snrtouts," made of crys

the middle of the table, and from them
branched candelabra of gilt and silver,
rases filled with flowers, tiny trays cov
ered with sweetmeats, or here and there
statuettes.
Finally the surtout grew so large that
it almost covered the table. People at
laBt grew tired of the monotony of this
ornament, no matter how artistic it
might be, and instead the center of the
table was often covered with a layer of
potters clay, in which a florist would
set cut flowers in any design that pleased
him. Artists were often employed to
decorate the table, the center of which
would be covered with temples, bridges,
amphitheaters or emblematic groups of
figures, all made of paste.

When Tennyson Was Made a Peer.
I snent with Lord Tennyson a long
evening till nearly midnight the day be
fore he took his oaths ana ms seat as a
peer. He was occupied a good deal in
ivritincr and briniring to perfection a
poem of four lines, which he told me
had given him as mucn trouoie as many
a substantive poeni or some lengin. n
was interesting to hear of his tentative
efforts and his rejection of them, till his
ear and his mind were perfectly satisfied.
Next day I met him in the house ot lords
aud saw him write his name on the roll
of peers.
The attendance in tho house was ex
ceedingly scanty on that historic occa
sion. I do not think that a dozen per
sons were present. The poet was not in
the smallest degree elated. His true
eminence towered supremely above the
adventitious honor, yet he could not but
feel the gratification which had arisen,
not from the fulfillment of a kind of am
bition which be had never felt, bnt from
the sense of the secure fame involved in
the recognition by his country of the
priceless services which he had rendered
to her literature. London Sunday Magazine.

FOR INVENTIONS.
Equal with the interest of those having claims against the government is
that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because
of the incompeteucv or iuattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their
patents. Too much'care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reli
able solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not
entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney.
With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys,
and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we; have re
tained counsel expert in patent practice, and therefore are prepared to
Qbtain Patents in the United States and all Foreign Countries, Conduct In
terferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases,
Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to
Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and
uetend infringement suns, tic., cic.
If you have an invention on hand send a sketch or photograph thereof, to
gether with a brief description of the important features, and you will be at once
advised as to the best course to pursue. Models are seldom necessary. If
others are infringing on your rights, or if you are charged with infringement by
others, submit, the matter to us for a reliable OPINION before acting on the
matter.
