South Texas where the first worms were
observed bv Mr. Schwartz last spring, three
were in the immediate vicinity of GIN
houses. with no other building, fence, or
tree in the neighboTbood. In the fourth
oin-bonse aud other buildings, as we'll as
trees, were close by; while in the NTH
Chat i'm Lavaca county, already mentionedl
the nearest object which could have served
for the hibernation of the parent moth was
an open stable about one hundred yards
distant but covered with thick thatcn OF
hay
In all cases observed or reported the hrst
worms occupy but limited patch IN the
field. and are scattered over the whole held
or over large portions of plantation, as Is
the case with subseq uent generations; Inc
extent of this patch seldom exceeds Two
acres and sometimes does not embrace one
fifth of an acre.
Sill a fourth circumstance connected
with the appearance of the first worms Is
noticeable and one that, as we shall see
( farther on. has much Importance from the
practical side. It Is that they recur year
after year not only in the same counties out
also in exactly the same spots
The condition Of the plant has already
been alluded to. In every case it was luxu-
RANT, advanced and vigorous. This condi-
tiOn Of the plant has much to do with
the matter under consideration that there
must be a cause for it, whether in the
greater attraction for the moth possessed by
such plants or the greater facility with
which the eggs hatch or the worms develop
upon the same; for when produced artli-
ciallv by the use of manures and good cul-
ovation, it may, and often does, have the
same effect and counteracts the otherwise
uufavoraile condition of soil and location.
As throwing light on the subject and as
rational explanation Of the facts, it is well
20 remember that the most advanced and
Iuxuriant plants most copiously exude from
the secretory glands the sweet fluid upon
which the noth feeds and by which, 1t is
fair to presume, they are attracted ; also
lhat the months fOndness for shade and
moisture is gratifed in such low places
where the cotton Is rank. These places are
also Just where the dews are heaviest, and
the facts which follow render it quite GER
tain that moisture aids both the Matching
and the development Of the worm, An
other suggestion may here be made that
also helps in the explanation the natural
enemies of the worm, especially the ants,
are less abundant IN low, wet land than IN
that which Is higher and drier. They will
therefore, be less efficient in destroying the
young worms, which for this reason will
stand a better chance of developing un-
checked.

The Training that Girls Need.

Mrs. Abba Gould Woolson has some
common-scGse notions about The Train
ing that Girls Need In paper read
before the Moral Education Society, she
PRONOUNCED ill-health luxurythat enor-
mously increased the cost of living.
She advised mothers to keep their girls
from their own fate, and she asserted
thas girls should be made to lead quiet
life on simple Diet until they are full
" grown; that they should exercise
freely in the open air; that house-work
should be done by them in carefully ven
tilated rooms shat their dress should
be radically changed. 20 shat no longer
shall their vital organs he compressed OF
their hips weighed down with Il mass of
cloth that ho man would willingly carry.
Compliance with these 4ules, she be-
lieved, would give to the world no-
bier, healthier race Of women. The
object Of girls mental training should
be, she said, to enable her to reason,
not to fill her brain with superficial
ideas. Tho process applied to women's
minds that are now devoted to the ed
ucation OF men, she considered, would
bring the same results. She advised
tE2t Girls pursue with thorouehness the
disciplinary studies Next to this she
would place the perceptive faculties. in
which woman is now much more prof
cient than man. Women should also
be acquainted more or less intimately
with physiology, natural philosophy,
the laws of mechanics, chemistry, polit-
zeal economy, the characteristics of a
republican form Of government, rhetoric
and natural sciences, all Of which are
far more important TO the girl than the
modern languages. First of all parental
duties, Mrs Woolson placed that of fit
ting children, end especially girls, to
earn an honorable living, uo matter how
wealthy their family may be, since no
one Is beyond the reach of possible pow

Yet sorrow of would tinge its JOY
