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.

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. The Size of Alenka.

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. ■ To reach the people advertise in T hsi)»ily ■Dispatch, every afternoon and Sunday morn ■ing.
