A Severe Blow to the Fruit Trade.

The ravages of a parasite insect on
orange and lemon trees are attracting
much attention in Italy and the West
Indies, and have begun to create alarm
in Florida, Louisiana and California.
J. II. Bostwick, Inspector of Customs,
who has charge of the fruit department
of the New York Custom-house, is TAX
ing great interest in the matter, and has
some specimens from cargoes Of
oranges, the rinds of which are covered
with incrustations of these parasites.
The matter is a serious one, for vast
numbers of trees are ruined by these in
sects. Mr.. Bostwick says that the
Italian Government has offered q prize
of 100000 francs for an effectual remedy
for the pest, and that wealthy Italian
has added 100000 francs to the offer on
his own account. He says that thirty
years ago he stopped the rayages of a
similar pest by washing the trunks and
large limbs of fruit trees with soap and
sharp sand. If the trouble continues to
increase as it is doing now, the impor-
tation of fruit from Italy and the West
Indies will be much reduced, and there
will be heavy losses in the orange groves
of Florida, Louisiana and California.
The value of the fruit imports at this
port in 1880 was $4,198,73 the duty
on which was 46,o31.-New York

The Jingling Bells.

How many boys and girls know how
the jingling sleigh-b bells are madea
How do you think the little iron ball
gets inside the bell? 1t is too big to be
put in through the holes in the bell,
and yet it is inside. How did it get
there? 4...-. ., ..,..-.... ..,s1. .,.--...
This little iron ball is called the
jinglet." When you shake the sleigh
bell it jingles. When the horse trots
the bells jingle, jingle, jingle; in maxi
ing the bell, this jinglet is put inside a
little ball of mud, just the shape of the
inside of the bell. Then a mold is made
just the shape of the outside of the
bell. Silis mud ball with the jinglet
inside is placed in the mold of the out
side and the melted metal is poured in,
which fills. up, the space between the
mud ball and mold.
When the mold is taken off, yousee a
sleigh-bell but it would not ring. as it
is full of dirt. The hot metal dries the
dirt that the ball is made of, so it can
be all shaken out. After the dirt is all
shaken out of holes in the bell, the lit
tie iron jinglet will still be in the bell,
and it will ring all right. oesJ-
1t took good many years to think
out how to make sleigh-bell.

Rescue of Two Drowning Hounds by
~ COmrade Dog.


A most remarkable, illustration Of
canine intelligence was given the other
day by a Newfoundland dog owned by
Mr.. May, of Livermore. A reverend
gentleman, well known for his love of
coursing, who witnessed the affair, de-
scribed it to a Chronicle reporter. 1t
can be accepted as bare fact. Two
greyhounds, the Newfoundland dog
spoken of and small terrier were ac-
companying party of hunters the other
day near Livermore. The hunters had
occasion to cross very wide and rapid
creek, and made their way over the tor
rent on fallen tree which spanned it.
The dogs could not cross in that man.
ner, and plunged into the stream, the
greyhounds taking the initiative. The
greyhound is peculiarly untitled for the
water, and the two dogs in question
were unable to make Roadway across
the torrent. One of them was swept
down the creek, and the other, having
struggled into an eddy, was barely able
to hold his own. The predicament was
not o pleasant one either for the dogs or
the hunters, as the animals were valua-
BILE and had just been borrowed from a
fond master for course In the midst
of the excitement, while the hunters
were rushing up and down the banks
cheering the drowning dogs and trying
to extricate them with pole, the New
foundland voluntarily plunged into the
rescue. Being powerful animal he
could swim almost straight across the
torrent, and making direction the weak
est of the hounds, seized him by the col
lar and carried him to the bank, where
several friendly hands were stretched to
his assistance. The rescuer then swan
back to the other hound and repeated
the performance. The intelligent
animal had always been noted for his
ferocity, and several times his owner
had thought of disposing of him in some
way. The remarkable exhibition OF
forethought and bravery so astonished
and delighted Mr.. May that he vowed
that $500 would not buy the intelligent
dog. Another and even greater sur.
prise was in store for the hunters, how
ever. The terrier had evidently made
up his mind that where the greyhounds
could not get through he would have
little business. He rushed up and down
the bank barking excitedly and making
very extravagant demonstrations of his
anxiety. The Newfoundland tried sew
eral times to lead him into the water by
boldly plunging in and wagging his tai
in confident manner, but the terrier
only barked the louder and kept further
away from the water. At last, disguised
by the timidity of the little cur and tired
Of the exhibition, the big dog rushed al
the alarmed terrier, seized him by the
neck and jumped into the torrent with
him. The terrier yelled ''murder!" and
"police!" in the most expletive language
known to the canine tongue, until the
Newfoundland deposited him safely on
the other side. ''There isn't money
enough in the State to buy that dog
said Mr.. May, as the great shaggy beast
gamboled up to be patted for his
achievement. -Sa's Francisco Chronicle

THE BABY'S NIGHEBELL.

Oh, it was FUNNY Upon my word
The queerest story that ever heard
The one that lately to me was told
About baby just one year old. ~,
1t gives a baby terrible fright f4s ~
To wake up suddenly in the night;
And what can it do but cry and scream
When, it's had such dreadfully naughty
dream! q" = TT
But this little baby of whom l tell
Reaches over the crib and takes a bell,
Which he rings as loud as ever he can,
I'LL the mother comes to her little man.
You may be sure that she gives spring
When she hears the bell go ting-a-ling-ling,
And hugs and kisses away each trace
OF u frown that rests on the baby's face.
Now, wouldn't believe this story: couldn't,
II "a made it up; and know you wouldn't;
But it's true, for twas told me not long ago
by the baby's mother, who ought to know.

in New York there are about 500
vendors of sawdust, having capital of
5000, 900 invested, and doing q business
amounting to more than S2,000,00 an
nually. Forty years ago the mills were
glad to have sawdust carted away;
twenty-five years ago it could be bought
for fifty cents a load, but the price has
increased, and now it brings $3.50
load at the mills. 1t is used at the
hotels, eating-houses, groceries, and
other business houses. 1t is wet and
spread over floors in order to make the
sweeping cleaner work. Plumbers use
a great deal about pipes and buildings
to deaden walls and floors. Soda-water
men and packers of glass and small ar
ticles of every kind use it, and dolls
and some living creatures are more or
less stuffed with it. Washington mar
ket takes two or three loads day, and
a great deal is spread on the piers, and
stables require many loads a day. yell
low pine makes the best sawdust, as it
is the least dusty, and has a good,
healthy SMELL But any white wood
dust will do. They make great deal
OF black walnut sawdust, but it will not
sell, and is burned.
