But the method to be employed was not ex- - plained. The trap was set, and it did He duty. At . one reception 818 persons who had not been invite! came to the White How and participated. At another affair the num ber of uninvited present was ISO. Thq , manner in which tbo intruders were de tected le interesting. Ae usual, each guest on advancing to the entrance of the receiving room was told by an official to ; “give your name to tbo -officers, who will present you. 1 ' The name of each guest ( was called out twice, first by the officer in troducing to the president and again by the officer who made the presentation to , Mrs. McKinley. The announcing was done with distinctness. But this year an attache of the White House stood in see- , eluded nook and took down every name that was called out. Comparison wHh tW rooter of the invited was made subsequent-, 4y, and In thio way the names of the ttbln vlted were singled out,'and the black list was created. Thia was not all. Doorkeepers from the senate and house sere present to add their knowledge of faces to that of the White House ushers. Alphabetical lists of the in vited were in the possession of theofficials. When there was a doubt about any one, tbo lists were consulted. Some of the un invited were asked for their addresses. Subsequently letters were addressed to sev eral of those who had come without invi tations asking explanations of the breach. Mostaof the letters were Ignored. Several replied, laying the blame on congressmen from whom they claimed to have received verbal invitations Half a dozen depart ment people were caught, and their cases were referred to superior officials.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. J Ono of tbo very interesting gifts receiv ed recently by the Academy of Natural Sciences In Philadelphia is modestly re corded as “46 species and 108 specimens at grasshoppers of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, collected by the Feldman Col lecting social.” This collection embraces about one-third the species within the boundaries named. There is probably nothing new to the Academy of Natural . Sciences in thia lot, but It 1s valuable nev ertheless, for it teaches ths uninitiated at a glance, among other things, that there is much mdre embraced in the genus grasshopper than be before imagined, fle will discover, for instance, that conspicu ous among the tribe is the universally de tested cockroach, the terror of all cateful housekeepers. If the person be a New Yorker, ho win quickly identify among the cockroaches a little brown bug, which be has perhaps hitherto only known as the Croton bug, an insect which suddenly made its appearance in vast numbers a few years ago in the Croton wpter furnish ed for drinking and domestic purposes. Among the grasshoppers also are the crickets and katydids, and here again one learns with surprise that the beautiful green, long winged creatures which are generally credited with accusing each oth er in the dusk of the evening of having done something or other are not guilty. The culprit is in the collection, however, and It is also green, but not of that deli cate shade which is possessed by the one so long accused. It is, moreover, a sullen looking creature, with rounded head and brownish legs, just the sort of an insect that one would imagine would take de light in indulging in recriminations Philadelphia Ledger. Sugar a Nurele Maker. The German sugar manufacturers at one of their recent meetings have gone very thoroughly into the important role played by sugar on our physical organisms, we have on several previous occasions call ed attention to the advantages of sugar for muscular development and cited prac tical experiments relating to the same. Some professors now go further and de clare that sugar is the only source of strength of man; other substances, such as fats, albumen, etc., are transformed in to sugar before their assimilation is possi ble. Efforts are being made to have the war minister look into tbo subject and give special sugar allowances to the sol diers. That there shall be no expense for government in giving the subject a trial it is proposed that the German sugar manufacturers furnish gratuitously suffi cient sugar for the 2,000 men who are to be kept under observation. Examples are given of Russian factories where men employed are more willing to work when a certain daily sugar allow ance is granted. This is combined with a sort of fruit pulp and may bo kept for a period of years without -undergoing the slightest change. It very considerably promotes digestion and muscular strength. One Deed only recall a book written in the early part at this century, in which it was agreed that life could be considerably pro longed by eating sugar in determined quantities; for those in excellent health it helps to digest those dishes in which the rich too frequently indulge; for those who suffer from stomach pains sugar when eaten after a meal will generally prove a valuable specific.—Sugar Beet.

There is in Atlantic City an Episcopal church whose doors are never closed. Tbo pastor is ex ceedingly devout and ultra -high church, and be reads prayers' every day.
