The appearance at the cashiers
desk of the Palmer House, Chicago, Of
q bright young lady, who filed the posi-
ton with all the expedition and COM
placency of man of trained experience,
challenged public attention. The pro
prietor says that for some time he has
been convinced that for such positions
women were more apt to give satisfac-
ton than men. ssOf course this was
flying into the face of the prejudice of
verylarge class of very excellent people,
who do rot believe that ladies should be
employed in public capacities at all.
The success Of our experiment has
shown the fallacy of that theory. Al
present we give employment to three
ladies in our office. Two of them are
cashiers and one q bookkeeper. To one
of these ladies at the cashiers desk we
pay $1,000 per year and board, to an
other $500 per year and board, and to
our bookkeeper we pay $500 and board.
If they choose to live away from the
hotel we give them an additional allow
ance of $500 per year. These salaries
look big for ladies, but they have the
talent, they do the work, and we are
much better satisfied than we were with
our male employees.

Messrs. ]. L. Griswold and w. F.
Sperry, wen-known and experienced
hotel men, have recently purchased the
above property and have redecorated,
refurnished and reappointed the hotel
at an expenditure of $4,000.
The plumbing and sewerage has re-
ceived especial attention. All improve
ments have been successfully embodied
to secure the most perfect sanitary con-
ditions. The house is supplied with the
electric light, electric bells, hot and cold
water, new passenger elevator, tele-
graph and ticket offices, and contains
800 rooms, and has the most central To-
cation in the city, situated on Chestnut,
extending from Fifth to Sixth Streets.

the low prices of $500, $3.50 and $500
per day.

Insects Of the Season.

Prof. Cyrus Thomas, entomologist of
the Illinois State Department of Agri-
culture, in notes on insects of the sea-
son, in recent report announces that
the supposed new insect that injured
the sweet corn during July and August
in the northern portions of Illinois and
Indiana is in fact the same pest as that
which is known in the cotton States as
the "boll-worm,' and in Kentucky,
Missouri and Kansas as the ''corn-
worm" Prof. Thomas thinks that
this species has pushed itself north this
summer on account of the very hot and
dry weather that prevailed. 1t is q
Southern insect, and hence he believes
the farmers and sweet-corn growers of
The northern section of Illinois need
have no fear of its appearing in injuri-
GUS numbers in that section next year,
if the meteorological indications for
1882 prove as correct as those for 1881.
The Professors predictions in refer
ence to the appearance OF the chinch-
bug this year have been only too fully
verified. While farmers have suffered
severely by this verifcation, it may
prove of value to them in the future as
an additional evidence that chinch- bugs,
generally speaking, appear in injurious
numbers only when two dry years come
in succession, the latter being above the
ordinary temperature.
Prof. Thomas is of the opinion that
the year 1882 will be similar in charac-
ter to the years 1875, 1868 and 1861, in
which the rain fall, taking the three to-
gether, was rather below the general
average and the temperature also rather
below the general mean. Judging from
various indications, he does not expect
the chinch-bugs will appear generally
next year in the State of Illinois in in
furious numbers. Possibly they may
do some injury in limited localities, and
if so. most probably in the extreme
northern sections of Illinois. Iowa and
in Southern Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The appearance of the army worm in
the northern section of Illinois this sea-
son in the oat fields presents some
rather new features Il its history. As
q rule this cereal hiss heretofore suf-
fered but little from its attacks. There
are still so many unsettled questions re-
garding the climatic conditions neces-
sary to the maximum development of
this pest that Prof. Thomas hesitates to
predict whether the army worm will or
will not appear next season. As q very
general rue it does not appear two
years in succession over the same area.
On the other hand the great chinch-bug
years of 1871 and 1874 were followed
the next year by the appearance of this
inseot-N 7. World.

The Black Death.
THE PLAerr IN rHE EAST AND ITS FORMER
RAvAGEs,

\ despatch from Constan,inople says that
the plague has appeared at Kufa, ninety
miles south of Bagdad, and that the mortality
in \edjib is increasing, Already Europe Is
becoming alarmed at the appearance of the
pest in the East, and fears are expressed that
it NAV spread westward. II therefore be-
comes important 10 know the characteristics
of the disease. The London Standard states
on pathological grounds that il is a ''very
malignant form of contagious fever" which
breaks out Suddenly in certain localities and
spreads with trightful rapidity, and that the
present type" is as virulent as that of the
Middle Ages. II is characterized by swell
ings of the lymphatic glands and by car
buncles. and beyond doubt one seizure seems
to afford no security against a second attack.
This is, however, point upon which physi-
clans have not often had a chance of study
ing. since 1.-The pest" does not usually leave
the same individual chance of experiencing
its symptoms twice. II has been conteaded
that il is not contagious, but in almost every
case of an outbreak the disease has been
traced to persons who have come from in
fected districts. In the Astrakhan epidemic
of 1879, and in that Of l1sl, which cut of
100, 900 people in Moscow. the pestilcnce was
known to have been brought, in the one in

however, as preventive against the ravages

the plague.
No other form of death has ever enlisted

1t has long been an open question whether
the present Gar of Russia would adopt a
vigorous anti-Turkish police when he came
to take the reins of government. but all doubt
is now removed by the appointment of Gen.

positions under the government. The former

siage. The cows were fed 2S days each on a
ration composed of clover, wheat straw,
brewers grains. turnips and cotton seed meal
that furnished, for each 1000 lbs. of live
weight. of digestible protein, fat and carbhy-
drates 2.5. x and 1916 lbs. respectively Two
other cows were fed on this ration for the
first % days: in the next period 100 lbs. of
enslage was substituted for 30 lbs. of turnips,
giving the same total of digestibe protein
but of fat and carbohydrates q and 14.9 lbs.
respectively.
For the next five weeks this second pair of
cows were fed on a ration consisting Of 120
lbs. of ensiIagc and : lbs. Of cotton seed

amount of digestibe nutrients as the ration
