The brown tailed moth. a pest which was Introduced into this country from i Europe some years ago, bids fair to increase the area of its devastation In spite of vigorous measures that have been taken to keep it within a rather restricted area in the New England states. The Rural New Yorkeran ag deaultural paper that Is always keenlyI stive to dangers of this kind which are a menace to the public welfare. has lately sounded a warning of a probable spread of the scourge to New York state from New Mmpshre, where it has had a foothold for ser eral years past. Unless the precan tions taken to keep It in check are materially augmented the chances seem good that it will spread over an ever increasing territory. Tf: ;adult type is a pretty moth about seven eighths of an inch In length. with .1 brown tal about an eighth of an inch in length, from which it takes its name. The female lays her eggs in the last two or three weeks in July. depositing them on the underside of lea-es. her choice being those of the pear and eli. The little caterpillars emerge in the course of about three weeks and im mediately begin to eat the leaves. con suming the green portion and leaving but the leaf skeleton. In the fall the little worms, which have done slight denage thus far, make nests for them selves, which they fasten securely to the limbs of the trees in which they have been feeding. In the spring ther I get out and are at work as soon as the leaves start. eat voraciously and grow rapidly. soon attaining a length of an inh ani a quarter. When the worms reach this size they will strip a tree of its leafage in short order Dunee prevented by spruying ti~or ughy wIth some arsenical compound. In sections where the worms have been worst they have been known to: strip fruit and shade trees of all their leafage. and when this is done early I in the season it means death to them. Whie this pest is one of the very worst which horticulturists have on their hands. it is a matter of con gatulation that it does not spread to: new territory al rapidly as some foes i with which the orchardist has to deal. Serious enough is It. however, to call for the cooperation of federal. state and local authorities In the suppres sion of It. _ _ SHOULD KNOW IT. The adobe or "sticky" soil, as It Is common',y called, found in several sec-1 tions ot the west, while very rich and: well suited to the growing of apples, pears and some other fruits, is very dfmcult to handle and must be plowed at just the right time-a few days fol lowing a rain, when the "slacking" bas advanced to the proper stage-toj secure results that are at all satisfae-i tory. -Rather oddly, though, while. continued hot and dry weather tends to form a hard crust a few inches be neath the surface, there seems to be no other soil which retains Its subsoil moisem'e more completely or on which fruit trees will stand more protracted drought. When one buys a "sticky" Ranch he anould have In mind that It will either be necessary for him to' have a solid macadam road leading to his place. If he Is to reach It during the wet season, or to lay in a sufmcient stock of supplies and provisions so that he will not have to leave hisj piice for two or three months ata time. The only pointer that the pro. speetre bayer of a "sticky'' ranch needs Is that he should be thoroughly acquainted with the ant~c of the soil duig the rainy season, so that he: will not be taken by surprise when the sticky time comes. *PROTECT THE ORCHARDS. All through the northern states the~ snow lies deep tn many sections. Thi means that the orchards are In espe-' cIal danger of injury from rabbits whose other food supplies are madd inaccessible by the heavy blanket of snw. And as the winter advances the hunger of these ever present pests increases, making the likelihood of damage by them the greater. If the tes have not been protected and the rabbIts have begun their work of de struction, radical measures should be adopted. These should include wrap-; ping of the trunks of all young trees as far up as the branches with old! newspapers. the swearing of wounds aready made with a strong resin soap,; the use of traps. dogs, ferrets and guns In exterminating the offenders and, If worst come to worst, the scattering in the runways of pieces of apples on: which powdered arsenic has been placed. Of course such poisoned baits should be covered with brush in case any of the farm animna have the run of the orchard. The trees should he inspected at frequent intervals so that; the rabbits will not have made serious havoc before their depredations are discovered. A Ban on Patterns. "There is one kind of correspondence sometimes received by women olerksj that makes heads of firms hoppingf mad" said the pretty stenographer. "That is dress patterns. They don't mind letters and magazines, but if a girl wants to keep on good terms with her employer and maybe keep) her job! she had better advise pattern compa nies to send their communication's to some other address. I know one em ployer of about 100 girls who has put up notices in the workroom to the ef feet that nO patterns can be received! at that office. Not many men go that far, but all hold the sauxe grudge against patterns. A girl who has a. new dress to make up can't help spreading the pattern out the minutes she gets it. Thea every other woman~ In the offce becomes interested. Noth ng is so disorganizing to women clerks as patterns. Nothin:r takes up! ore time that belongs to the tirm,. so you really can't blame the bo'~s s for putting a ban or. patterns."-New A well known Casterni eedsman ad vertises an --improved wonderberry." It is surely to be hoped that he can ful2l his promise. Apples, prunes and figs are recog nized by?7 most all diet specialists as mild yet excellent laxatives, and the health of many would be improved were tons and tons more of these fruits consumed. Those who have looked somewhat Into the matter have concluded that the prahle dog does not dig his bur row deep enough to reach a water supply, but gets along on that which he secures from the leaves and roots of the herbage on which be feeds. A poor draft in the stove. tmaking watery eyes and smoky wall paper. may be due to the stove being clog ged up with ashes or to defects or breaks In the chimney abo e the point where the pipe enters. W1herever 1o cated, the cause ought to be sought out and removed. The wise grower of small grain will exercise proportionately just as much care In the selectlon of his seed grain as in choosing the stres and dams for his breeding animals. While Dot so perceptible, the law of heredity-that like produces like-operates in the same general way in the cereal as in the animal world. The average boy is not half so much in need of being shielded from temupta tion as he is of assistance In the de velopment of a becoming self respect and backbone that will enable him to behave like a man In the presence of temptation. Being tied to mother's apron strings never gave a boy char acter and stamina and never will. In sections where the inroads of the woolly aphis are likely to be serious the young fruit tree may be protected by removing the soil for a distance of two or three feet around the tree to the depth of a couple of inches and placing a layer of tobacco stems and leaves or dust. These should be soaked thoroughly and the earth re placed. While the same means may be used to protect the root systems of older trees, the labor Involved is greatly increased. For the proper protection of the hives of bees It Is well to put them where they will be protected from ex tremes of cold in winter, but we have In mind one swarm of bees that made headquarters in an old hollow bur oak tree for four consecutive seasons and that during their period of hiberna tion must have been subjected to tem peratures of 20 to 2S degrees below zero. Whether they finally died of old age, froze to death or sought warmer quarters we never knew. In many sections In the north cen tral states, where much wheat used to be grown a score of years ago. but where In recent years It has been al most entirely given up, there wil be a good deal sown the present spring. In many of these localities oats are not doing as well as in the pat. and wheat Is proving an acceptable substi tute. Where It has been tried the yield has been from eighteen to thirty five bushels per acre, and the market price a dollar or better. In securing the seed wheat It is a good Idea to buy that which Is plump and Is grown near bomne. W'.ile suicide requires a certain de gee of physical courage, analyzed a bit It must be conceded as the abject and cowardly solution of the problem with which one may be confronted. for It involves an utter renouncing of all claims and obligations resting upon one as a result of the place he fills in life. The only honorable and heart satisfying way out of a condition that seems unbearable is a continuance In the treadmilL, If such It be, consolation coming from the thought that a fellow Ia doing the best he can. There never was a situation in life so bad but sui eide made it several stages worse. One of the interesting geological for matioiis of Wyomi is the extensive areas of decomposed red granite no ticeable between Cheyenne and Buford. on the line of the Union Pacific. Hav ing to excavate large gialntities of this disintegrated rock In the lowering of the right of way, those In charge of the'work hit upon the Idea of using it as ballast for the road long distances in either direction. The rock was ban died with slight expense by means of steam shovels from bank to car, and so excellent ballast did It prove that It has been used as a surface material for the road and depot grounds from Omaha westward. It is firm, holds Its place and gathers little moisture, thus reducing tie rot to a miniznnm. A fruit ranch that we saw near Mountain Home, Ida.. the other day fom the car window consisted of scrubby fruit trees set four or five years ago in the midst of the sage brush in the arid Smake river bottom. The fellow who set them out had grbbed out no sagebrush except where the trees were to stand and given the tract no cultivation what ever. This is a sample of some of the "orchard Investment" propositions that the gullible easterner Is expected to take over at the end of five years for from $300 to $500 per acre and from which he Is assured be will get rich without work in a very few years. Other orchards In the same valley. watered and well tended. are all that a prospective owner couldi desire. In buying western fruit land it is well to Investigate the soi and the water right guarantees, but even more the moral status and business pedigree of tbe man or corporation promoting the same.

"Since I'e comet back I find that i'm forgotten by all my friends." "Whuy dldn't you borrow money of them' before you went away? Hit Him Coming and Going. An attorney went to a ilvery stable and hired a team for two or three hours and at the end of that time, in a state of absentmindedness, left the team at another livery stable, where it remained eight days. At stable No. 1 there was no worry about the team. They knew the attorney was perfectly good for the pay. They knew that If he kept the team a month the bill would be pauil promptly on presenta tion. They presumed that he knew what be was about and concluded It was his business and not theirs. At stable No. 2 there was equal freedom from anxiety. The attorney came there. left the team and went away. saying nothing They put the horse into a stall and "chalked It down" on the office slate. knowing him to be a business man who paid cash. Discov ery came at last. and the lawyer was presented with two bills, one for eight days' hire and the other fo? eight days keep. He paid both bills promptly. but It cured him of being absentmind ed for nearly a whole month. The Coffee Cup In Persia. The expression "to give a cup of coffee" has in Persia a somewhat omi nous signifcance. This is due to the fact that the coffee cup is one recog nized medium for conveying poison. Some years ago the governor of Aspa dana. having long been at daggers drawn with the chief of a powerful mountain tribe, determined In this way to put an end to all trouble. He professed to entertain a great degree of friendship and esteem for the chief tain and Invited him to visit him at his palace. The chief unsuspiciously came. accompanied by his two young sons. For a week they were royally enter tained. But at last one morning when the chief came into hIs host's presence he was coldly received. and an attend ant soon stepped forward with a single cup of coffee in his hand. which be of fered to the guest. The latter could not fail to understand that be was doomed. Preferring, however. steel to poisont he declined the cup and was thereupon. at a signal from his host. stabbed to death. Salad of the Shoes. Freshmen have troubles the world over. The "conserits," as they are called at the famous Ecole Polytech nique In Paris. are subjected to an amusing Initiation called the salad of shoes. The freshmen report some days before the upper class men so that they can receive their uniforms and become familiar with the routine of the school. The first morning after their tormentors retrn the freshmen are aroused by a demand that they throw their shoes out of the-wlndows Into the courtyard- The shoes are gathered into a heap. and. kneeling In a big circle around this, the fresh men are obliged to go through some ridiculous gymnastic movements at the command of their superiors. When tlie study bell rings they have but a minute to appear in the class rooms. and it is a strenuous minute around that pile of shoes. Tennyson Disturbed. This story Is told In Robert H. Sher ard's book -'My Friends the French:" "A granddaughter of Wordsworth, being full of admiration for th'e young 3et who was to succeed her grand father in laureate honors, was once taken to see Mr. Tennyson by Mrs. Taylor. the wife of another poet of some distinction. Tennyson received thenm very badly, showing great Irri tation at being disturbed. and when Mrs. Taylor rallied him on his amaner he said: 'Madam. I am a poor man. and as I can't afford to buy the Times I hire it from the stationer's. He charges mae a penny for It, which enti ties me to keep It for an hour. Why will people always select just that hour to come and call upon me? After which he fiung out of the room, leav ing Mrs. Tennyson to apologize for his brusquerie." Currency In China. Writing from the interior of China, a traveler says: "Currency is primitive to a degree. Lump silver only is used and copper 'cash.' Coined money is not current. Even In Honan city, which is distant only two days by rail from Pekin. lump silver, the same cum brous currency that has been used for centuries, is still employed. it is cut into small pieces by hammer and chis el. Every town and village has its own weights and scales, and there is no pretense at uniformity." The Man and the Parrot.

The sleeping hiours of the animais at the zoological gardens in Regent's park vary as mucn. according to the families to which they belong. as do their other characteristics and habits. The orang outanlg goes to bed at sun down, draping its head in a blanket and refrsing to see visitors afrter dusk It is also an early riser. With the lions, tigers and other members of the cat tribe the night finds them at their liveliest, and they sleep most between the midday meal and supper time. 'The eagles go to sleep just about the time their neighbors in .2 owl cage are waking up. while the bears during the winter months apparently sleep all day and night too. The residents of the monkey house object seriously to being disturbed after dark. and if one of the keepers happens to take a light into their quarters they scold him un mercifully. On the other hand. it would probably take a dynamite bomb to arouse the rhinoceros. and it is not uncommon. the keepers say. to find rats biting holes in its thick hide with impunity.-London Mail.

A Beautiful Lake. Perhaps the most striking instance to be seen in the whole world of the wonderful apparent coloring of bodies of water is the marvelously beautiful Blue lake in Switzerland. Encon passed on all sides by lofty mountains. their lower ranges luxuriantly clothed with verdure down to the edge of the water and adorned with many fine for est trees. while their higher acclivities are garbed in a mantle of eteraai snow. the little lake. nestling in its deep hol low basin and protected from winds and storms. is quite startling in its singular and strange beauty. The water. although really pure and color less, appears to be of a most vivid and intense sky blue. And Its transparency is so remarkable that a small nickel coin dropped into the water in the center of the lake can be seen gyrat ing downward until It reaches the bot tom, apparently more than a hundred feet beneath. Japan's National Beverage. Sake Is the national beverage of Ja pan. It has a peculiar flavor not com parable to any European drink. is made from fermented dce by an intri cate process in winter time and con tains from 11 to 14 per cent of alcohol. It is a necessary constituent of every ceremonial Japanese dinner. is served in little. ampulla-i4ke jars and drunk with much formality from squat. ear less sake cups containing approximate ly about two ounces.

A London newspaper wonders wyhy we no longer invite people to break fast. The reason is to be found in the state of moInd that usually posess the free and Independent citizen a that hour In the morning, a state of mind that makes him unbearable to himself and to every one who comes near him. Presumably It was not ever so. for Invitations to break-fast were once comamon enough. and not so long ago either. Mr. Gladstone used to have guests to breakfast every Thurs day morning as recently as 1884, and It was thought sufficient to supply tea and coffee, eggs. bread and butter and perhaps some cold meat. liut the really solid bre-ikfast h::d come into fahion long before then, and it is said that the English learned the fash Ion from the Scotch.

Costa Rican Volcanoes. Costa jilen hns been sufiject to earth quakes for many years. l'art of the republIc Is exceedIngly mountaino~s. and In this part of the country there are more than a score of volcanoes, some of them dead, but a few that break out periodically. There are three or sfour that have been active for raore than a century. Some of these are near San .Jose, the capItal. Costa Ricans have always believed that earthquakes, which the country has ex perienced ever since It was first set ted by Spanish adventurers were caused by the volcanoes. There is good ground for this belief, because it has been noticed that earthquakes of more or less intensity followed the ac tivity of these volcanoes.
