Bad for the Farmers.

Potato bugs are ravaging Long Island
farmers hot beds. Beetles, the parents
of the potato bugs, that had slept in the
beds all winter, awoke on the appear
ance of spring, and settled on the ten
der growth about them. They laid
their eggs on the softest leaves. From
the eggs were Matched potato bugs, and
they begun to devour the leaves on
which they we're Matched. Taking the
reporter to his hot. beds, wherein were
egg plants, Flatbush farmer uprooted
plant, whose leaves were pierced and
withered, and peppered with bugs, and
said "See how lively they are! The
potato bug eats farmer out of house
and home, until it gets to be a perfect
beetle. Then it dives into the earth,
and stays nine days, probably getting
ready to lay. When ready, the beetle
comes out of his hole, and lights upon
the youngest plants. On them it lays
eggs, and then bobs away. Last June
the beetles came upon us, and caused
thousands of dollars loss by breeding
upon the plants in the hothouses. I had
egg plants enough to yield two hun:
dred pounds OF seed, that I was to sell
to q Philadelphia scotsman for $500
but the potato bugs ate all but $40 worth.
They couldn't hurt the potato shoots,
because they were about foot high.
The beetles hung around all summer.
crawling and jumping in the sun, and in
the fall burrowed in the earth. Farm:
ers are setting out only half as much
6otatoes as usual, and are terribly
afraid. In plowing, we turn up lots Of
beetles. The ground is full of them.
and as soon as real warm weather comes
they will begin to hatch. ."-Ne0 York

Ladies' Lingerie.

French handmade lingerie, fashion
journal says, is largely imported this
season, both in simple, inexpensive gar
ments and also those very elaborately
trimmed. Thus it is possible to buy for
1926 O nightdress of French percale of
light quality made up by hand, with
clusters of tiny tucks in the yoke. and
neatly stitched collar and cuffs. This
thin percale loses it's slaziness after be-
ing washed-t the goods areimported un-
laundried-and is quite heavy enoug b
for sleeping gowns. By adding little
of the Smyrna linen lace now coming
into fashion for trimming under
clothing, this is made into very pretty
garment. For $3.50 are heavy NADIA
pollam gowns fof winter use. The pri-
ces increase upward to S12 or SIS for
elaborately trimmed gowns, with three
rows of embroidery separated by clus-
ters of tucks extending the whole
length of the front. Yoke gowns are
still preferred. A neat fashion is that
of laying the yoke fullness in three box
plaits in front, with three similar plaits
in the back, like the plated waists once
80 popular. These are sold in nice
American muslin, with q neat rufde of
Hamburg work around the neck and
wrists, for $1.75.
With domestic muslins at their pres
ent low prices, expert needlewomen can
easily supply themselves with an
abundance of underclothlng. The beau
tiful light muslin known as Fruit OF the
Loom now sells for nine or ten cents
yard, while the heavier Wamsutta and
New York Mills cost but twelve and one
half cents yard.

Fishing Fleet Destroyed.

A disastrous accident is reported OF
the feet of French fishing boats annual
ly sent from the ports of the Normandy
coast to the fishing grounds of Iceland.
This disaster will, undoubtedly, strength
en- the belief in presages and omens en-
tertained by the kind-hesrted and cour.
ageous, but rather superstitous, popula-
ton of the villages along the seashore
of France. They will remember the &C
cident which occurred at Boulogne some
months ago, just on the occasion Of the
sailing of the two pioneer boats Of the
fishing feet. Most. of the inhabitants
we're crowded upon drawbridge to wit,
ness at nearer distance the sailing OF
the two vessels, uhen suddenly the
bridge gave way, and some persons were
drowned. This was a bad omen; and
now we learn that the Emma, of Dun
kirk, has been wrecked on the coast OF
Scotland.
Besides, the crew reported that six
other French vessels engaged in the Ice
land fishing trade have been lost, and 1t
is feared that the whole feet has been
destroyed. We hope that this latter
fact will not be conirmed; but it must
be admitted that of late disasters to the
French fishing boats which Leave peri
odically for the fishing grounds have be-
come more frequent than formerly. The
cause is to be partially found in the fact
that the French government has not
known low to protect the rights of the
French fishermen in the Newfoundland
waters, aud these men, constantly trou-
bled in their fishing business, have been
compelled, i'll larger nuubers than be-
fore, to 60 cruising on the more danger
Gus coasts Of Iceland.

" Looking for a job"

When Arthur Wayne swung around II
front of the desk and remarked that he
was looking for job, the justice re-
piled:
"That's too old and it's too late. You
might have put in such Oh excuse
month ago, but I can't receive it now
The grass is up and growing, the honey
bee is kiting around, and the music OF
the hand organ makes the song of the
morning lark dwindle to single note
Spring is here, Arthur Wayne, glorious,
big Injun spring. The vagrant season
has closed. Ships sail up and down,
red-painted rocking chairs may be seen
on the ferry boats again, and III put
you behind the bars for chronic
loafer."
"Will you put me in prisona" asked
the offender.

and he meekly sat down on plug hat
which some one had left in the corridor.

An Exciting Experience,

Mill river, above the upper dam, at
Leeds, Mass, was the theater OF an ex-
citing scene, in Which Joseph Shearn,
superintendent of the silk mill, was the
leading actor. He was in boat teach
ing his eight-year old boy to row, when
he discovered that his little girl Of three
years, who had been sitting in the stern,
had disappeared. He at once dived into
the water, and, snatching the child,
swan to. the shore, although encumbered
by an overcoat and rubber boots.
Arriving at the bank, he was compelled
at once to drop the girl, throw off extra
clothing and swim after the boat, which
was drifting toward the dam. Seeing
that he was not gaining on it, he called
to two men coming down the railroad
track to save the boy. This they we!e
able to do by the boats drifting within
reach of the shore. By this time the
father, who was in the middle of the
river, was taken with cramp and would
doubtless have perished but for the
timely discovery of en- upright stake, to
which he c]ung until rescued by the
men who had secured the boat and boy.

A Warning to Country Girls.

A young girl named Hettie Hall left
the town of Sayres, Pennsylvania, to
come to New York city in scarce of em-
ploymept. In the cars she was accosted
by q strange man, who inquired her
name, where she had come from and
whittier she was going.
. The man introduced her to two fash
ionably dressed young girls, by whom
he was accompanied, and soon ingrati-
ated himself into her confidence. He
invited her, Oh their arrival at Jersey
City, to come to his house, where he
said she might have home until she
had procured employment. The women
who accompanied him pressed her to
accept the invitation, and her money
being nearly exhausted, she finally con-
sented.
The party then proceeded to Greene
street, and shortly after the unfortunate
girl discovered that she hal been en-
ticed to house of prostitution. She
requested permission to leave, but the
man ordered the doors to be locked and
threatened, with an oath, to break her
head if she attempted to escape.
She was forced into submission and
ruined. She was closely watched by
the man and his wife, the proprietors OF
the establishment. About eleven o'clock
at night, while coming down stairs, she
noticed the hall door standing open,
and, Notwithstanding the coldness Of the
the night, rushed out into the street in
her scanty attire, determined to effect
her escape. The attention of m officer
was attracted by her short skirts and tin
sci. She rushed wildly from one side
of the street to the other, and he arrest
ed her.
At the station house she told the
above story to the captain. Hettie, who
is an interesting looking young girl
about eighteen years old, was taken to
police court, where the justice, after
hearing her pitiful narrative, issued
warrants for the arrest OF every inmate
of the house. The officers arrested the
man, his wife, six girls, two colored
cooks and one man. The prisoners were
arraigned before justice, who at once
begun a thorough investigation.
