Destroy Their Eggs.

The American tent.caterpilleas or lack.
eys, so destructive to the early foliage OF
wild sherry-trees and apple-trees' become
motas in July, and lay their eggs IN July
and August. Various methods tor the
destrucsion and determination of these
pests are resorted to by thrifty and en-
terprising farmers and gardeners and to
Unsuccessful, they should be universal
One of the most effective methods to pre-
vent their ravages, is, to seek the eggs
of the moths during these fine spring
mornings, which. when found, as they
easily may be, especially in young orch
ards, clip the twigs wherever they are
deposited with sharp instrument, and
burn them. Nurseries may thus be clear
ed of them. Shears and a knife, with
basket in which to place the twig, and
ladder, are the equipments necessary
for this important work.
Let it be done this month. as farmers
have more time to attend to it. and be-
sides it is less and pleasanter work than
after the eggs are Matched into dcvouring
worms, for then is seed time pressing
with its multifarious demands for labor.
Not only apple-trees, but all the wild
cherry.trees on and about the farm prem
Uses, should be thoroughly, diligently and
most carefully searched, that this evil
may be prevented in its embryonic state.

WORK FOR CnILDKrN.-The following
thoughts from New York paper are
practical and suggestive. Says the writ
er -
One of the greatest defects in the elu-
cation of children is in neglec.ing to ac-
custom them to work. 1t is an evil
peculiar to large towns and cities. \
certain amount of work is necessary to
the proper education of children; their
future independence and comfort depend
on being accustomed to provide for the
thousand constantly recurring wants that
nature entails On them. Even if this me-
cessity did not exist. moderate employ
ment of some kind would preserve them
from bad habits, promote health, enable
them to bear the confinement of the
sehoolroom, and teach them more than
anything else, appropriate views respect
ing their future welfare. 1t is too oftn
the case that children, after spending six
hours Of the day in school, are permitted
to spend the rest Of the day as they
please. They do not consider that their
success in after life depends upon the i'm.
provement Of their youthful hours. They
grow up in the world without a knowledge
Of its cares and tolls They cannot APP
preciate the favors bestowed on them by
their parents, as they do not know the
tolls they cost. Their bodies and minds
.cnervated, and they are constantly
exposed to whatever vicious associations
are within their reach. The daughter
probably becomes that pitable object. a
fashionable girl. The son. if he sur
mounts the consequences of his pareats'
neglect, does it probably after his plaus
and station Tor life are fixed, when
knowledge Of some of its important OBJ
jects comes too late No man or woman
is thoroughly educated if not required to
labor. Whatever accomplishments they
possess, whatever their mental training.
in the voyage of life they require some
practical knowledge and experience de-
rived from accustoming the!nse, es to
useful labor Of some sort.

FIsIl Fer Foop.-A writer in the Port
land Press, discourscs Gu the advantage
of eating fish. We copy the following
"Grcat meat caters are quite spt to
mistake stimulus for nourishment. Meat,
as all know, is much more stimulating
than nourishing, and the porson who
keeps his stomach and blood excited by
the flesh of warm FLOODED animals. sell
dom or never feels satisfied with a dinner
of fish. The stomach may be filled with
it aud still the man feels the want of
something to excite his blood and make
him feel as if he had made a hearty din
ner. Now, fish alone will not have this
effect upon the system CT man who is
real beef eater. He wants 70 eat his f,h
and then stuff in roast beef which pro-
duccs the usual stimulus, and he feels
satisfied
Such is the effect Of eating meat, and
the stomach is SO educated that stimulus
is mistaken for nourishment. In fish
there is but little less uourishment, pound
for pound, than there is in butchers
meat. The soft fibre Of fish is more east
~ digested than the muscle that forms
flesh. There is in fish, also substance
that is not found in flesh of land animals.
We refer to iodine, which tends to pre-
vent scrofulous aud tubercular diseases
that afllict those in the higher ranks Of
life. 1t has been proved by analysis that
the solid matter of flesh, tnat is, the mat
ter which remains after perfect dcsication
or the expulsion of the aqueous part, is
very little inferior to meat game or poul-
try. That fish is health giving food
there is abundant proof. The ichthyop-
hagist suffers much less from. i'll health
than the meat eater. The most healthy,
robust and prolific families are those
whose principal food is fish. Fishermen
are proverbial for their good health and
strong constitutions. The women, too,
belonging to this class are hale and
healthy.

Our HA1R.-Dr. Die Lewis, has the
following suggestion in relation to presery-
ing the hair:
God has covered the skull with hair.
Some people shave it off. Mischievous
practice, it exposes the throat and lungs
the eyes, likewise, say wise physiolo.
gists.
Men become bald. Why? Because
they wear close hats and caps. Woman
are never bald, except by disease. They
do not wear close hats and caps. Men
never lose hair below where the hat
touches the head, not if they have been
bald twenty years. The close hat holds
the heat and perspiration, Thereby the
hair glands become weak; the hair falls
out. What will restore it? Nothing az
ter the scalp becomes shiny. But in pro-
cess of falling out, or recently lost, the
following is best !: Wash the head freely
with cold water once or twice day
Wear thoroughly ventilated hat. This
is the best means to arrest the loss aud re-
store what is susceptible Of restoration.

THE REBELLION.

The identical Palmetto flag, which was
suspended in the capitol at Columbia, SC,
upon the organization of the secession con-
vention in December, 1860, was captured
at Columbia by Gen. Blair, aud has been
presented to Gov. Fletcher, Of Missouri.
When the flag was first suspended in Sc
cession Hall, Lawrence W. Keitt uttered
the following words: ave have carried
the body Of this Union to its last resting
place, aud now we will drop the flag over
its grave" Keitt and the rebellion have
gone to their graves since that time, but
the Union still lives.
Tho first man killed in this war was
Daniel Howe, of New York, ut Fort Sum-
ter, in 1861, by the premature discharge
Of a gun. (His name has been frequently
and erroneOuSly reported as Hough)
A woman called on an attorney at Will
Transport on Thursday last. and requested
his assistance in collecting bounty and pay
for two husbands who had been killed
during the rebellion. Her third husband
accompanied her.
Major General Stoneman, commanding
the district Of East Tennessee, has issued
an order to release all rebel prisoners con.
fined in Jail at Knoxville, and give
them their option of taking the oath Of
allegiance or going into some rebel State,
in accordance with the recent decision Of
Attorney General Speed,
The wickedness of rebel leaders is only
