Insects from Apple
Orchards.

Insects destructive to the apple crop
and to the tree are so numerous that IA
bearing orchard must be like battle
field from the end OF one year to the other.
AS insects are becoming more and more
numerous every season, the man who sue
eccdS in producing a bOuntiful crop Of
fair apples must dispute his right TO the
fruit by the constant and relentless use of
Furnished steel. The numerous nostrums
recommended as repellants of insects by
writers who never planted an apple tree
nor raised an orchard afford no reliable
protection. Catch the foe and kill him
is the only reliable motto for the rule Of
action with the successful pomologist An
American rhymist SAYS;
The price of our apples, of peaches and berries,
The price OF line currhnts, OF pears, plums ana
cherries,
Is measured by combats with foes in tilt,
With war To the knife and the knife to the hilt.
THE CoDIING-WORM MOTH
is one of the most sly and difficult
to exterminate of all the insect enc
mics OF the orchard. This moth is vari-
ously known as the apple.worm moth or
the Codling-worm moth. The apple worm
moth makes its first appearance about the
list of May to the fore part OF June, and
Il
season or the latitude, Usually, at the
time it appears, the young app es
are already set, and are begin
ming to be about as large IS a
hazel nut. The female mosh deposits a
single egg in the blossom end Of the fruit,
flying from fruit to fruit, until her stock
of eggs amounting to 200 to 800 is
exhausted. Soon after accomplishing
this process she dies of old age and eX-
haustion. In a very few cases the egg is
deposited in the cavity at the stem end of
the fruit or simply glued on the smooth
surface of the fruit. In a short time
atterward the egg no matter where it is
located, matches out and the young laTva
forthwith proceeds to burrow into the
flesh of the apple, feeding as he goes,
making his headquarters inthe core. In
three or -four weeks time it is full crown,
and shortly before this the infested apple
generally falls to the ground. The larva
then craWls out Of the fruit through Il
large hole in the cheek, which it has
bored several days beforehand for that
express purpose, and usually makes for
the trunk of the tree, up which it climbs
and spins around itself a silken cocoon of
a dirty white color in any convenient
creyiCe it can find, the crotch of a tree
being a favorite spot. Here it transforms
into the pupa state, and toward the latter
part OF July or the fore part of August it
bursts forth in the moth state. 1t also
appears in the former part Of the growing
season.
AT the West an insect Of another spe
cics, closely allied to the codling-worm
moth, has appeared, which is more diff
cult to exterminate than the codling.worm
moth. These insect enemies are ready
through the entire season to deposit their
eggs whenever an apple is in a proper
state to facilitate the Matching and pro-

A japanese Normal School.

. THE Normal School at Tokei was cs-
tablished in order to obtain supply of
properly-trained teachers for new graded
schools, which, according 10 the scheme
Of the Education Department, are to num-
Der over $4,000. 1t was begun in the fol-
lowing manner: 4 class of twenty-five
the study Of English. They were fresh
and unspoiled, and learned with great ra-
pidity. At certain point, as soon as
they could understand the ordinary ex-
pressions of their foreign instructor the
study of English was dropped. They had
been taught so far, simply for the pur-
pose of becoming familiar with the man
ner in which foreign teacher instructs a
class, and maintains discipline. 1t was
something very different from what they
had been accustomed to. In japanese
schools, a teacher usually takes class of
six or les 6, and instructs each scholar sep
arately. They know nothing of reciting
in concert, aud the discipline in large
school 10 in respect of noise ana irrega-
lar attendance, ahout equal to that of the
very worst country schools at home.
AS soon as these young men had learned
how class in foreign school is taught
and managed, little children were
brought in, formed into classes, and the
young men set teach them. This they
did in the presence, under the eye and by
the aid of their foreign instructor. The
latter did not know Japanese, nor did he
need it. At present there are $50 young
men from all sections of the Empire in
training TO be teachers. Correspondence

RECIPES, ETC.

Alcohol for Burns.-Sydenham recon-
mends the application of alcohol to
burns, especially for children, where i'm
mediate relief is most desirable The al
cohol should be applied for one or two
hours constantly, as the pain returns when
dry. In case of large burns care must be
taken lest the alcoholic vapors stupefy
the child.
Bone Felon. The London Lancet
says: AS soon as the disease is felt, put
directly over the spot fly blister about
the size of your thumb nail and let it re-
main for six hours, at the expiration Of
which time directly under the surface of
the blister may be seen the telon, which
can instantly be taken out with the point

Many feeble people and invalids who
are troubled by constipation of the bowels
may be permanently benefited by using
very little of the common tincture of
nux v"mica A druggist will give half
an ounce for five cents; then put two
drops into about a half an ounce of cold
water and keep it for use. Each day when
it is needed, put one drop into a part of a
tumber of cold water and drink it all,
several times during the day. Do not
take any more than this in one day; but
it may be continued each day until per
manently cured. Graham bread and
vegetable diet are great help for this
trouble; but they are not a reeable to
some peoples tastes aud are not easily
obtained by many who know that they
might be benefited by them.-Rural Neo

Cream Pies.-Make the crust as usual
and spread on the tins For each pie
take one-half cup pulverized sugar and
nearly as much of sifted flour; rub to-
gether dry and spread over the crust. Ut
is quite essential that the flour and sugar
should be well mixed before uniting with
the cream, rs it prevents all possibility Of
lumps) Pour over it one cup of sour
cream and a few spoonfuls of sour or
loppered milk; stir gently into the flour
and sugar. Crate over little nutmeg
and bake in quick oven. 1t is better to
place an iron CRATE in the oven under the
pies as they are liable to run over" if
too hot on the bottom These pies are al
ways in good demand If sweet cream is
used, no milk should be added They
should always be eaten fresh, but are
good cold or warm.
Corn Mush or Pudding-Of course
everybody knows how to make it! But
unless they leave it over the fire half an
hour or more, stirring it the while (Which
is no easy taskl it is very apt to taste raw
and unpalatable. But | have an easier
way and the mush is better too. Have
the water boiling and keep it boiling
while the meal, which should be of white
corn, not ground too fine, is being stirred
in. Stir it about five minutes; then cover
closely and set it on the top of the stove
where it will keep hot but not scorch, and
let it remain for twenty or thirty minutes,
when it will be as light as bread sponge
and thoroughly cooked. Graham mush
is also much better by being made in this
way and is very nice for dessert served
with cream ana sugar or pudding sauce,
with nutmeg or other favoring. If one
can add plum, strawberry or other pre-
serves it is all the better. Cor. Rural

again they are red and white, exhibiting
each color alternately, or varying a
steady white flame with a crimson flash.

IN color and form, the Oldest captain
might possibly mistake one for the
other, and so run his vessel aground.
But each is different. The Fire Island
lighthouse exhibits a white flash, the
Highland a fixed white light, and the
light-ship a fixed red light. Upon such
distinctions as these the success of the
system much depends. Another very
important point is that no changes shall
be made n the appearance of the light
houses until a notice of them has been
published in the maritime columns of
the newspapers and in official circulars
distributed among seafarinS men. The
sites of lighthouses and the stations of
light ships are chosen in the most ex-
posed neighborhoods, and where wrecks
are most frequent. On Block island,
