from France and la only awaiting t h
gladsome days of spring to break
forth, expand ami begin lasting, Just
as though he were at the old stand.
He will compete as a foreign pauper
pest with our own infant industries in
*ho pest line. If you do not know what
the French brown-tail moth does to
the human race you will learn if he de-
cides to sojourn among us and to in-
crease and multiply, says the Chicago
Daily News. Archery is his hobby.
Unlike the beo and the mosquito,
which havo but one stinger, the little
French brown-tail carries a quiver full
of arrows, which he shoot3 in passing
as a small boy trains his popgun 011 a
bald head. There is no chance to slap
him on the wrist in return, for he
stings without alighting and then
moves on to the next victim. No won-
der the scientists who saw him first
are very anxious to find a way to put
him gently to the bad.

the house divided the unwieldly hill
and finally passed and sent to the sen-
ate the first 59 sections, leaving the
remainder to follow as "Good Roads
Bill No. 2." Tho first section of tlie
bill contains practically the nucleus
of the system for good road building
as worked out by the various bill
makers. The portion to follow con-
sists more of detail, including, how-
ever, the important matter of bonds
for roads.

Mr. Ijounsbury, emeritus professor of
English at Yale, excusing and In a
measure justifying some of the so-
called vulgar mistakes In orthography
and grammar committed by unedu-
cated people. According to Prof.
Lounsbury, there is, or was, the best
of authority for saying pint for point,
Jlst for joist, lie for oil and bile for
boll. Our'n and your'n and his'n are
upheld by ancient usage. The double
negation is slmlliarly vindicated and
there are a dozen Instances of the

that tho professor draws tho line on

ho said was an absolute misrepresent-
ation In certain Now York newspapers
as to what he had said during an an-
swer to certain questions regarding
tariff revision.
He had stated, he said, that thj
present business depression was un-
doubtedly due In a large measure to
th'i fact that tho tariff is to be revis-
ed at an extra session of congress to
inert March ir , that it was of the
highest Importance that this work of
revision should not be delayed, but
pated and vanishes.—Cicero.

A report declares that In the state
of New York marriages have de-
creased 20,000 during Ihe past year.
Yet this is President Roosevelt's own
common wealth. It is more than likely
that the depressed condition in many
lines of business and labor will ac-
count for much of this falling oft. In
the early part of the year thousands
of men were out of employment and
were probably looking for work harder
than they were looking for wives. The
present year gives promise of being a
prosperous one, and It Is safe to pre-
dict that the marriage record In the
Empire state for 1909 will make a far
more satisfactory showing.
