This table shows 4 possible loss of about
$50. OO0, 900 in years of general prevalence
of the worm. or an average OF los per cent,
total annual loss, viz: 1884, 800. for all
the cotton States since the war. That 1t
was equally great before the war there Is no
reason to doubt, for while severe Ylsltations
have perhaps, been more frequent since
that time the injury has been greatly
diminished by the use of Paris green ana
other arsenical poisons since the year 1873.
CHARACTERS AND STAGES OF THE INSECT.
The Cotton Worm, like most other in
secfs. and all belonging to its order and
family. exists in four distinct states, which
differ much from each other. They are,
lst. the eqq; I'd, the tarrd, or worm; "a, the
chr,,saIis: 4th the image, or moth.
The worm must hatch from an egg depos-
tied by the female moth Al theories to
the contrary, such Is its supposed sponla-
neous development from the pianI or II
ORIGIN from the cotton seed, are therefore
utterly without foundation. They need
emphatic denial mere, because Of their prey
alence not only among the negroes anu
the more ignorant, but among intelligent
men unfamiliar with the principles OF
biology.
The egg is 40 inch wide, fattened and
ribbed of a bright green color. 1t Is Lana
on the under side of the leaf and adheres
well to the leaf In the early part of the
season only one is laid in leaf Laser rs
many as 40 or so to a leaf In three or
four days the worm matches and leaves the
shell of the egg generally in the early morn>
ing before the dew is dissipated.
Later in the season longer time elapses
between the laying of the egg and the
Matching. Damp warm weather favors
Matching. Young plant lice and the eggs of
several small insects, resemble those of the
cotton moth and can be distinguished only
by close and accurate observation. All
Unmatched eggs are destroyed when over
taken by front.

Effects Of Tea on Chinese Habits.

Prom Professor F. Wells wilitssBss Lecture bsis the
Sheffield Bcisntihc School.
If the sanitary effects of tea upon the
system are so great and wholesome, its
effects since ils general introduction
among Oceidentals cannot be over
looked. The domestic, quiet life aud
habits OF the Chinese owe much Of their
strength to the constant use OF this
beverage, for the weak infusion which
they sip allows them to spend all the
time they choose at the tea table. If
they were in the habit of slipping even
their weak whiskey in the same way,
misery, poverty, quarrels, and sickness
would take the place Of thrift, quiet and
industry. The general temperance seen
among them il owing to the tea much
more than any other cause. One who
remembers the csrousings described in
Scotts novels, and com pares those
scenes with What would now be consid.
