Beer.
A recent decision handed down from the United
States Supreme Court at Washington, D. C., de
clares that beer is not liquor, neither is it wine nor
spirits.
This amounts to aJO year advance in thecause
of true temperance, for beer is gradually, but
surely, being recognized as the true temperance
beverage, and hence it follows that beer, in order
to win universal favor, has to have merit towia
public confidence.

HENRY LABOUCHERE.
A Unique Member of the British
House of Oommons.
Hu I« a Good-Natured Cynic Whose Most
Prominent Charaetorlst ic Is a Strong
Antipathy*, to Royalty and
Toryism.
Henry Labouchere, the leader of the
British radicals, is one of the most
talked of public men on two continents
at present. His recent resolution,
which carried by a narrow margin in
the house of commons, to the effect
, that the house of lords should be de
prived of the veto power in legislation
is the immediate cause of this noto
riety. Os course none of the heredi
tary chamber’s privileges can be abol
ished or curtailed by a mere vote of the
house of commons, but it was signifi
cant as showing the trend of popular
opinion, something to which even a
British lord is not entirely oblivious.
Mr. Labouchere has an interesting,
not to say attractive, individuality. He
is a brilliant conversationalist and his
presence is, therefore, always welcome
at social gatherings. Although a keen
politician and an unsparing debater
when in the house of commons, he car
ries no political rancour into life daily
life, and, indeed, he numbers among
his friends as many conservatives as
liberals. Members of the Primrose
league are no less eager than support
ers of the advanced party to obtain in
vitations to his picturesque villa at
Twickenham and to take part in -the
garden parties, pastoral plays and
other functions that, under the aus
pices of Mr. and Mrs. Labouchere, are
among the favorite features of the Lon
don season.
Mr. Labouchere is a good-humored
cynic, and he tells you that being past
fifty, he can never hope to be happy
any more. The best he ean strive for
is to obtain a mean between happiness
and misery, and so long as he is not
subjected to discomfort or misery be is
satisfied.
With all his cynicism, however, there
is undoubtedly a fascination about
him as he sits, attired in a comfortable
lounge jacket, in his armchair, puffing
away at his cigarettes, while some
times a twinkle lights up his eye, and
occasionally he bursts into a loud
A.
HENRY LABOUCHERE, M.P.
laugh, for he is neither too proud nor
too cynical to laugh at his own jokes,
nor at those of other people if they
are capable of concocting witticisms
sufficiently amusing.
“As to royalty being in danger," he
says, on the subject being mooted, “it
is only a question of pounds, shillings
and pence. lam one of the most loyal
subjects in England, and I say this,
. that if the royal family were to put by
a million or so pounds and live on the
interest, without drawing anything
from the public, the English crown
would be secure forever. It is only
the economic question that the people
concern themselves about. The house
of lords will certainly have to go soon
er or later. The conservatives say that
local government in Ireland and land
purchase are inseparable; but we in
tend to separate them. If the house
of lords continues to prevent us, they
will do so at their peril. The cry of
i separation is nonsense. The Irish peo
i pie don’t want it.”
f Mr. Labouchere has always been a
radical, eVen, as he says, from his
earliest infancy. He was born in 1831
i and was educated at Eton. On leav
ing college he spent two years in trav
eling about Mexico and Central Amer
ica. He rode from place to place on
horseback, and had many interesting
experiences during the time. His im
pression of the Mexicans was not very
favorable, if one is to judge from a re
mark that he once made to the effect
that: “When a Mexican is not playing
at monte he is asleep.” His uncle,
Lord Tauton, who was colonial secre
tary at the time, obtained for Mr. La
bouchere an appointment in the diplo
matic service as unpaid attache at
Washington. From there he went to
several European capitals, still in the
diplomatic service, the cities that he
visited including Frankfort, Munich,
Dresden, Stockholm, St. Petersburg
and Constantinople, where he became
secretary to the embassy.
One of his first great parliamentary
successes was the speech he delivered
in 1883 against Mr. Forster's coercion
bill. He demolished the statistics on
which Mr. Forster based his plea tor
coercion, and proved the blue book re
turns to be inaccurate. The speech
was much discussed throughout the
country, and had the effect of bring
ing Mr. Labouchere’s name into very
prominent notice. Since then he has
gradually come to the front and is now
regarded as one of the leaders of ad
vanced radicalism. He was a home
ruler long before Mr. Gladstone pro-'
posed his scheme. Indeed ever since
he entered parliament he has sys
tematically voted in favor of home
rule and against coercion.

LOOK OUT FOR THEM.
Seveuteen-Year Old Locust, to Soon Make
Their Appearance.
Whatever may be said against the
seventeen-year locust he never breaks
an engagement. Promptly upon the
seventeenth anniversary of his last
visit he arrives with his entire troupe
and opens up for business. This year
he is to be here again, so the entomol
ogists say, and the woods will resound
with his harsh clamor. The advance
guard of his army may be expected
during the last days of May. It will
be in full force about the middle of
June and will gradually diminish to
ward the middle of the following
month.
No alarm need be occasioned by the
coming of these rare visitors. The in
jury that they cause is mainly confined
to their slitting the smaller" twigs of
trees in rows of borings of several
inches in extent. The slits are placed
at near intervals, and are covered with
pencils of fine torn-up fibers, which
serve as a covering or protection to the
eggs, from ten to twenty being depos
ited beneath them. The harm to our
fruit trees seldom amounts to more
than a moderate shortening-in of the
brandies. In nurseries and in young
orchards trees are occasionally killed
by the attack.
In tile train of the locusts will come
swarms of feathered hunters who will
find in them a dainty edible and make
their lives one weary succession of
terial twistings aifd turnings. King
birds, bluejays, woodpeckers, fly catch
ers. and even the larger thrushes and
the smaller hawks, forsaking all else,
will cleave unto the unfortunate har
vest fly and grow fat upon his remains.
If he grows weary in attempting to
outstrip iris feathered enemies in flight,
THE SEVENTEEN-YKAR LOCUST.
and seeks refuge beneath a sheltering
branch, he falls a prey to the vigilant
squirrel or chipmunk, who finds him a
toothsome morsel. Under any tree in
the still, Tunny days of the summer
months you may find little heaps of
yellow-ribbed gauze wings, testifying
to the tragedy of the cicades who es
caped the attacks of feathered foes
wily to fall victims to their furred en-
Wny of the rodent species.
One man will there be who will re
joice at the advent of the seventeen
year harvest fly. and that is the fisher
man. When nil other baits fail, the
larva of the locust will
tempt the wariest fish to the hook. It
is not the full-fledged insect, however,
that avails here, but the larva at the
roots of trees, getting ready to emerge
from his sixteen years of under
ground existence and burst into the
glory ( of gauzy wings and a more or
less musical whir. Trout, black bass,
rock bass, perch, pickerel, and even
bullheads will turn aside in disdain
from fly, minnow, worm or crawfish
and eagerly grab at the larva of the'
locust.
Introduced by Dumas.
This story is told of Alexander Du
mas. It is well known that he could
not refuse a request—nt least, not oft
en. One day he gave a man a letter to
one of his intimate friends in Brussels.
The friend, a wealthy merchant, re
ceived him as though he had been
Dumas’ own brother, introduced him
to his circle of acquaintances, placed
his stable at the man’s disposition, and
did everything In his power to make
life pleasant for Dumas' friend. After
the lapse of fourteen days the man
suddenly disappeared, and with him
the best horse in the merchant’s sta
ble. Six months later the merchant
visited Dumas and thanked him for the
kind of people he recommended to
iris consideration. “Dear friend,” he
added, “your friend is a shark. He
stole the best horse in my stable.” As
tonished, Dumas raised his hands to
ward Heaven, and cried: “What, he
stole from you, too!”
One of the Delights ot Life.
When old Kaiser Wilhelm was still
prince of Prussia he. had one day at
ilablesberg, near Potsdam, his beauti
ful and ever favorite residence, a visit
from that prince among landscape
gardeners, Furst Hermann von Thick
ler-Muskau, who somewl. ‘ ex
pressed his disappointment at cue .
rate of progress in certain improve
ments in the grounds—improvements
which he had himself suggested
on the occasion of a previous visit. The
future emperor pleaded his limited
means. “But does your royal high
ness never borrow money?” queried
Prince Puckler, evidently much
amazed. “Never, my dear prince,”
iwas the smiling reply. “Then your
royal highness has never tasted life’s
greatest delight—to wit: the pleasure
of finding yourself able to pay your
debts—after all."
Bow to Test a Diamond.
One of the easiest and most trust
worthy modes of determining whether
a supposed diamond is genuine or false
is as follows: Pierce a hole in a card
with a needle or pin, and then look at
it, using the stone as a lens. If the
supposed diamond is genuine yon will
see but one hole; if false, two will ap
pear. With an imitation stone you
may also see the lines on the skin of
yonr finger; with the true gem yon
cannot.
