People who do not care if they hurt the feelings of the insect refer to him generally as the "stinkhug. ” In their former visit the insects ap­ peared in such great numbers that they made life fairly miserable for sensitive ¡icraons. This summer the odoriferous bug has made his reapjieuriince at several of the summer resorts, taking especial pleasure apparently in coming round and breaking up pleasant parties as­ sembled about the camptires at night. In Protland a number of them have been noticed lately in stores, in some of the saloons and in a few cases in the parkways. They are a simple ap­ pearing bug, done in quiet colors, gray or black, but they won’t stand for annoyance, and if one inadvertent­ ly disturbs them they retaliate by making the circumambient atmos­ phere sufliciently uncomfortable for all concerned. • MONA LISA" CLEW FOUND.
