When permitted to have its own way
this is a very destructive enemy to the
young apple orchard, but can be pre-
vented from doing any injury bya very
little labor, if it be properly directed
and performed at the right time. Those
who have kept the trunks of their trees
protected during the Summer with Il
mound of coarse sand or a covering of
paper should not neglect TO remove the
protection before cold weather sets in,
and carefully examine the trees TO make
sure that no worms have hatched out.
If the trees had been examined in Sep
tember, as they should have been, what
ever worms that had been able to avoid
the protection would have been very
small, not much more than one-fourth
of an inch in length, and so near the
surface of the bark, that, by scraping
with knife, has lodging place could
have readily have been discovered, and
the worm destroyed; but if the work of
examination has been delayed until the
last of October the worm will have in
creased very much in size and have eat
en- his way down from four to six inches
from where the egg was hatched; as
the worm proceeds downwards he will
penetrate the bark nearer to the wood,
so that be the 1st of November he may
be found between the inner bark and
the wood of the tree. A worm that has
advanced to this stage has caused q per-
manent injury to the tree by making u
defect which furnishes one of the best
places for depositing the eggs for an
other generation. The miller rarely
ever deposits an egg ON a smooth sur
face, but almost invariably selects some
detection, and if a mound so much the
better In such places the eggs are pro-
tected before they hatch, and the little
worms. when hatched, find a moist
place to start life in. This is important,
for if they should hatch out on hard,
smooth surface they would find it very
difficult to eat their first breakfast,
especially if they should chance to GEM
mence life during dry weather. One Of
the secrets of keeping borers from an
orchard is to keep the trunk of the tree
protected during May, June, July and
August up to point where the trunk of
the tree is smooth, but no protection
should be fully relied on. The trees
should be carefully examined twice q
year-frst in May, when the protection
should be placed around the tree, and
in the autumn, when the protection is
removed. Massachusetts, RlOughnldm.

The ''fnd'' of old gold coins lately
made in Paris by two laborers engaged
in the demolition of the house once oc-
cupied by Marshal d Effiat was piece
of luck for which the collectors are as
grateful us the finders. The intrinsic
value of the coins, simply as bullion, is
100000 francs. According to the
French law of treasure-trove the finders
were entitled to a half-share. and they
elected to take it in current coin by
weight. They thus become the possess
ors of about $4,000. The coins are be-
ing catalogued for sale by public auc-
ton. There are nearly 5000 pieces in
all, and they include coins of Jean lie
bon, Charles ". Guillaume de la Garde,

and rarity. One coin in particular, of

At a dinner the other night, after the
trash had been disposed of, two roast
pigs, each with an apple in his mouth,
were brought in and set in front of the
host and hostess. [ had not seen such

Economy in Telegraphing.

There arc 160, ,000registered addresses
kept by the Anglo-American, Direct
United States, American Telegraph,
and French Gable companies. which are
managed by the Western Union Tele-
graph company. Those addresses COM
prise the names of the principal busi-
ness firms sending and receiving cable
dispatches in this country. To each of
these registered addresses is appended
one word, which represents it in all ca
BILE messages. This one word is always
telegraphed instead of the address. One
object of this registration is to save
the expense of telegraphing. As the
cost of cable dispatches is 80 cents
word, it will readily be seen that very
considerable amount is saved when, as
in some cases, as many as thirty mes
sages day are sent both ways. A firm
of both names would thus save nearly
800 day. Another object is to secure
the utmost certainty of prompt deliv-
erV.
Much money is also save in tele-
graphing, not only by cable but by
land lines, in the use of codes. All the
leading branches of business have these
codes by means of which long mes
sages may be sent by the use of few
words. There is no extra charge for
sending code messages by cable, as the
words are always those that may be
found in the dictionary. But there are
many cipher dispatches sent composed
of letters or figures. These are charged
extra by counting three letters or fig
ures to each word. A leading tele-
grapher said yesterday that were it not
for the adoption of these expedients it
would be simply impossible to do the
business of telegraphing. There would
not be time to do the work with present
facilities. .-NeW York Sun.

A Literary Coincidence,


1t is interesting to note the possibility
of a romantic episode at some future
day arising out of circumstance that
is akin to the motive of many q drama
tic scene in both fiction and real life
William Black. the British novelist, is
occasionally addressed, in an old lady's
handwriting, as ''William Black, alias
MacVean, Esq, Reform club, London. -
These letters upbraid him for his ingrat-
itude and want of proper affection in
refusing to acknowledg ge himself her
nephew who was mourned by her as
drowned at sea. She, however, hap
pened to read "a Daughter of Heth.' -
and she declares that this story con-
tains family revelations that could only
have been known to herself and hel
nephew, and could only have been
written by her nephew. A year or two
ago Black called upon her in the high
lands. He found her a respectable and
fairly educated old lady. As soon as
she knew he had called in answer to her
letters, and that he was William Black,
she professed to recognize him as heI
nephew, and offered to get him a watch
and some jewelry, which she said had
belongedto to his mother, and which were
at Skye. 1t was in vain that on the
score of age he pointed out that hel
identification of him must be a mistake.
Her niece coming into the room. Black,
in telling me story, said: Il felt that

straight. If l was the nephew, this was
my sister," Surely said, you can
not think l am your brother; he must
have been 8 or 9 years younger than l

known young men turn gray at u very
early age This settled ME, and bolt

had concluded to claim me for the
dead nephew, | had better get out OF

incident is none the less curious that ii
began before the Tichborne case, and is
still kept up by upbraiding letters from

Falsifying Diamonds.

The diamond fields of South Africa
produce large quantities of yellow dia-
monds. This color, of course, lessons
the value considerably, and a white dia-
mond is worth five or six times as much
as Il yellow one of the same weight and
quality. 1t was recently reported that
method of removing the color had
been discovered. Such is the case, but
the important addition has to be made
that the yellow reappears after a slight
washing, as some French merchants
lately found out to their cost, after pur-
chase, at high price, of some perfect
ly white diamonds. The method is n
simple application of complementary
colors. Tie yellow diamond is put in
some violet solution. A slight coating
of violet suflices to render diamonds of
the most pronounced yellow perfectly
white.

A Gamblers' Panlc.

A few years ago the sudden failures that
were announced in Boston and other places
last week, followed by the suspension of a
heavy Wall street stock operating frm,
would have produced panic that the firm
est business centres of the country would
have trembled under, but under the existing
state of affairs legitimate business pursues
its even way, and scarcely feels tremor at
the sudden and unexpected sheck.
The truth is that these heavy failures
were merely the result of gambling, and not
of commercial misfortunes The Shaw
Brothers, of Boston, not satisfied with lu-
crativ ve business, sought to attain autocratic
distinction as well as wealth, by controlling
the leather market, and went down under
the burden they piled upon their shoulders
Bradley Barlow, Of Vermont, ruined
himself and his bank by ridiculous
railroad speculation, while yesterdays Wall
street failure is but legitimate result of
the risky financial ventures that are daily
conducted in that great money thoroughfare
OF the country. But despite these tnsRcial
shocks the legitimate business of the country

thre ened in the commercial world. On
this point the New York World says
For this result, however, we owe no
thanks to the spectators, the monopolists,
the corporate managers and manipulators
who are now suffering from the conse-
auences of their own errors Whatever dis
turbance we are called on to chronicle is thf
result of their stock watering, of forcing
dividends, of working the market, OF lons
years Of unscrupulous indulgence in thu
tricks and frauds which have made th
management of the greaL corporate stool
interests of county odions to the peo
pie They have kept the bubble Of stool
speculation inflated. 1t is simple justic
that they should suffer when the test of fac
pricks the bubble and 1t collapses.
We have vet to hear Of single Legitimate
business which has suffered from the i'm
possibility OF keeping up the gamblers
game, and as long as this is the case tn
downward course Of the market may b.
watched with serenity. Our only regret /
that the lesson may not be severe enough t.
leave permanent impression on those VIII
need it II IL should do this the Wall stret
furry would be an uumixed benefit.
However much the Wall street specul
tors may be burned by their questionab
transactions, there will be no regret felt
