4 FOOLISH GIRL.

A servant girl at Jersey, England, has
been fined los. for playing foolish trick
with train. She stood between the
rails while the train was approaching at
a rapid rate, and calmly watched it draw
near. The driver whistled, shut of
steam, and reversed the engine, and thus
succeeded in stopping the locomotive
within two yards of the girl. who merely
laughed in his face and ran away.

The Canker Worm in Orchards.

THIS insect has long been a great
pest in the orchards of New England,
but recently it began to move westward,
and from present indications it will be-
come more or less abundant in all the
apple-growing regions of the North.
Why it received the name of canker
worm is unknown, though one of our
early New England agricultural writers
says it was so called from having the
same effect upon apple trees as canker.
In the "Georgical Dictionary" by
Samuel Deane, d. D., published at
Worcester, Mass, in 1890, we are in
formed that the canker worm had at
that date been more or less destructive
to the orchards of New England for
more than fifty years, and, moreover,
the same pretentives and methods OF
destroying this pest were then in COM
mon use as at the present day. We
seem to have made little progress in the
way of lessening the number of these
worms, or discovering means of destroy
ing them, during the past hundred
years, neither have we added much to
our knowledge of their history. DR..
Deane tells us that they come from the
ground about the first of May, and are
so voracious that in few weeks they
destroy all the leaves of the tree, not
only preventing it from bearing fruit,
but causing it to sicken and die.
A few years later, in 1895, Prof. w.
D. Peck published, among the papers Of
the Massachusetts Society for Promot-
ing Agriculture, q history of this insect,
giving it the scientific name of PhaIgna
vermata, although its generic name
has been changed by later en-
tomologists to Anss0pteryr, of which,
according to Prof. Riley, there
are two species, one appearing in
the spring and the other in the autumn.
To these he has given the names OF
"spring canker-worm" and 'sfall cank.
er-worm." Both, however, are the
progeny of small moths, the females OF
which are wingless, and which, as they
can not fly, have to crawl up the stems
of the tress to deposit their eggs. These
are laid in compact clusters of 100 or
more on the bark or small twigs, being
fastened in position by strong glue
like substance. As soon as these eggs
hatch, the worms crawl upon the young
leaves and begin eating them, and in a
few days the trees appear as though
they had been scorched by fire, as many
of the leaves will be only partly con-
sumed, but still enough so to cause the
remainder to turn brown and die. When
the worms are fully grown they are ash,
colored on the back, with black on the
sides, and are nearly or quite an inch
long. They feed about one month and
then descend to the ground, burrowing
into the earth three or four inches,
where they form small cells, in which
they undergo their transformation and
remain until the following season.-N

Hygienic ReyersiOn.

QUALITIES in animals which are the
result of breeding tend to die out-that
is, the animal reverts to his earlier and
longer established characteristics. The
mustangs of Mexico are descendants of
domesticated horses, which, having wan
dered from the Spaniards, gradually re-
verified to their primitive type. The
shorter the time in which new qualities
have been cultivated, the stronger the
reverential tendency.
1t is somewhat the same hygienically.
A person would have perfectly healthy
organism if the sum of the fescas oper-
ating within his ancestors had always
been on the side of physiological sound
ness. If such one were attacked with
disease from some external cause, his
system would rapidly stimulate the dis
order and revert to its wonted state.
This tendency to revert is weakened
in proportion to the number of ancestors
in whom morbid causes have operated.
If the tendency to consumption, for in
stance, has been in family for many
generations, it has become an accumu-
lated force, and can be extirpated from
the family blood only be unremitting eff
forts, kept up through several genera
tons. If it has come to one from out
side causes simply, the tendency is weak,
and is easily kept in allegiance, or it may
be wholly killed out within a single life
time.
As a general thing, the sick tend to
get well; for the average of inherited
vital forces exceeds that of the morbid.
The vital forces thus preponderate from
age to age because the less vigorous die
early, leaving. those to perpetuate the
race in whom these forces have accu-
mulated for numberless generations.
Where morbid qualities inherited from
one line may be strong they may be held
in check by superior vital forces inher-
tied from the other line, but these quail
ties may reappear in a grandchild, or,
even leaping over two generations, in a
great-grandchild. This is known as
atavism..,Youth's Companion.

Another Phenomenal American Girl.

MILE. NEVADA, the young American
artist, reported to have just made sue
cessful debut as Amina, at Her
Majesty's Theater; London, is well re-
membered as child on the Pacific
slope. She was born at California
mining camp, Alpha, now a small vii
lage in Nevada County, from which she
has taken her stage name, her real
name being Emma Wixon. Her father,
DR.. Wixon, and his wife, having been
reduced in fortune, opened a small inn
at Alpha, where daughter was born
to them about 1857 One Fourth of
July, when Emma was some four years
old, the usual celebration was held there.
After the rural brass band had executed
in doubled sense a national air, the
child who, with her father, was stand
ing near the musicians, seemed absorbed
in their rude strains, and whispered,
"Papa, papa, won't you ask the men to
play that againP" They complied, of
course, and before their notes had died
away in the mountain air, the child be-
gan to sing, reproducing faithfully in
tra-la-las what she had just heard. The
assembled miners were delighted, natu-
rally, and expressed their delight in
ringing huzzas. They gave the little
warbler the name of Pet, which long
adhered to her. Her parents afterward
removed to Virginia City, New, where
her vocal talents were as carefully culti-
waited as they could be in euch a place.
Since then she has been studying in
Europe at the best schools, and her

to be, but so many bees would fly about,
making such q buzzing in the warm
spring sunshine, that Patty was often

A TRUE STORY

A TRUE STORY.
THE farmer looked at his cherry tree,
With thick buds clustered on every bough;
II wish l could cheat the robins" said he;
If somebody only would show me howl
" I'll make a terrible scarecrow, grim,
With threatening arms and with bristling
head,
And up in the tree III fasten him
To frighten them half to DEATH" he said
He fashioned scarecrow tattered, and torn
o, twas horrible thing to seel
And very early, one summer morn,
He set it up in his cherry-tree.
The blossoms were white as the light sea-
foam.
The beautiful tree was lovely sight,
But the scarecrow stood there so much at
That the birds flew screaming away in
fright
But the robins, watching him day after day,
With heads on one side and eyes so bright,
Surveying the monster, began to say,
why should this fellow our prospects
blight?
HE never moves round for the toughest
weather,
He's harmless, comical, tough old fellow;
Let's all go into the tree together,
For he won't bulge till the fruit is mel
low!'
So up they flew; and the sauciest pair
Mid the shady branches peered and perl1ed,
Selected spot with the utmost care,
And all day merrily sang and worked.
And where do you think they built their
nest?
In the scarecrow's pocket, if you please,
That, half-concealed on his ragged breast,
Made charming covert of safety and ease
BY the time the cherries were ruby-red
A thriving family, hungry and brisk,
The whole long day on the ripe fruit fed;
Twas so convenient they saw no risk!
Until the children were ready to fly
All undisturbed they livedin the tree;
For nobody thought to look ut the Guy
For robins fiourishing family!

Fixing Up.

IT takes a great many more things in
these days to make people comfortable
than it used to when was young; but |
must allow that 1 like to see pretty
things around house, scattered here
and there, provided they do not cost
more than family can afford to pay
for them. If people are ingenious, and
can make nice things themselves, at
home, it is fine thing and nobody's
business either; and it is probable that
they enjoy making them full as much
as they do seeing and using them after
they are finished. And then, the idea
that one can make such things, all
themselves, with little expense, is GER
tainly very satisfactory. l saw one OF
the neatest rooms furnished handsome
ly with an outlay of a very little money.
l have seen furnishings that cost seven
ty-tive dollars that did not look as ele-
CANT as the fixings in that great cham
her; and that did not cost five dollars.
Now, as the young couple were just
starting in the world, and neither OF
them had a penny that they did not
earn themselves, thought how conf
mendable it was that, instead of feel
ing sad and enyious towards those who
were better off, they should establish
themselves so comfortably in their
own pleasant home. They were so
happy in doing it all that it seemed as
if pleasant memories and happy
thoughts were driven into their heads
with every nail, and fastened there
with each stitch. If all young folks
would be content to begin life as they
did, and only get what is needful to be-
gin with and only allow such Injuries
as they could afford or make them
selves, it would dc to get married; but
when they all think they want the best
OF everything and house full of it, too
and run in debt to start with, they hac
better live single to the end of the
chapter; for it would be but worry and
botheration all the way through, and
when too late. they would discover
their mistake. -" Grandmother" IN
