WHAT'S THE wIRE-WORMa

The term Wire worm properly
belongs to the lorg, slender, and
uncommonly hard larvae OF the
Esaters--the spring, or click
beetles. These, when placed on
their backs, fuddenly spring se7.
eral inches into the air, with click
ing sound. The largest of these
beetles (ElQtor ocul@as) is about
two inches in length, and has two
large, round spots upon the upper
side of the body, which are often
mistaken for eyes. It's surface is
covered with whitish powder.
1t isireqnently found on the trunks
and branches of apple trees during
June and July, and from its large
size, peculiar "eye spot and
strange manner of sporting, it is
often sent Us for name. The lar
va is about two and a half inches
long, has very strong jaws, and
burrows in the decaying wood of
old apple.trees. There are several
other smaller species of spring
beetle, some of them conspicuous
only by their injury to cultivated
plants. Those wire, worms which
live in the soil and feed upon young
roots and stems are the most des-
trueti7e. So far as their history
is known they live from three to
four years. Their injury to the
potato, though perhaps no greater
than to some other crops, is often
ruinous. Indian corn and grasses
sometimes suffer greatly. 1t is
not easily reached with any poison,
and the leading remedy is frequent
plowing. Wire-worms are gener-
ally confounded with the cut-worms,
andin destructiveness may be con-
sidered the same. The nature
state ofthe eut-worm being moth,
it is easily distinguished from the
'selick,s or spring beetles. An
other group.of worms is also often
spoken OF as cut.wosms, but the
members are myriapods, with
many ring-like divisions to the long
bodies, each of which is provided
with two pairs of legs. These,
sometimes called the thousand
legged worms, are of a dark brown
color, and when disturbed coil into
airing. They do not pass from
one state to another, like ordinary
insects. Some of these false wire
worms feed upon the roots of
plants, and do much damage.
They may be caught by placing
slices of potato, or turnip, upon the
surface of the soil. The white
grub is also associated with the
wire worms in the manner of living,
and need the same treatment. All
of these subterranean pests have
then natral enemies, among the
chief Of which are birds. Late
fall plowing is doubly beneficial,
as it turns the worms out OF their
winter quarters, and exposes them
to freezing weather, and also
brings them within the easy reach
of insecteating birds.-Dr. B. D.
Halsted, in american Agriculteuist
for Nogember.

AN NOPERATEC MANAGERS
EXPERIENCE.

from the West Wisconsin sending
the great majority. The ,Joesrsal
estimates the number of these
stage struck beauties at $500; but
a gray haired manager says it seems
to him there are 5O,OO0,000 of them.
He is perhaps a cipher or two out
of the way. Max Strakosch thus
relates his experience with one of
these girls:
Every woman I meet has some
new song to sing me, and do what
I may I can't get away from her
until I have listened to every
verse. I met young lady yester
day on Fourteenth street. Oh,
she was so beautiful-like a rose.
bush. "Why, Mr.. Strakosch, :
she say, show well you do look!
How have you been all the while?"
OF course, I think maybe I know
her mother or I was her godnother
or something like that, and I ask
her to come and see me. She
came right along to the house, and
the moment she got inside she
made a dive for the piano. ''Ho,
ho," I say, You was singer !"
"Yes," she say, Il came all tho
way from Kalamazoo to sing for
you, because l know you want one
prima donna" 'sMy dear lady,"
I say, 81 have more prima dome
as I couldtpach into double-horse
furniture car, and they was al
singing in the chorus, waiting for
the head one to die" "Ha, ha,'
she say, ssit was very evident
that you don't ever hear me"
After that she pull about twenty.
FIVE sheets of music out of her
pocket, and she began to sing.
Oh, how she do sing! If I live
800 years I will never forget how
that young lady sing. She unite
her bonnetstrings, and by'n'by
she take off her shawl. She got
so excited over that Heart Bowed
Down or 'sStar Spangled Banner"
or whatever it was that she was
bollerin' at, that ] think maybe
she would burst her head off.
Every time I try to get out of the
room she begins TO scream, so
| was afraid maybe she would blow
her brains Out, SO / got back and
sit down little while longer.
When she was through. she ask
me how like it, and like fool
I told her that was better as Patti.
"Cara mio, Cara mio = exclaimed
Mr.. Strakosch, wringing his hands
and tearing his hair, sit was the
mistake of my life when told that
to that lady. She don't do moth

and down another tell you my

Personal Adnrnment.

Embroidery in silks or beads on the dress
material ia as fashionable SIS ever, and hand
painting on rich silks and satins is mos. ar
tistic and luxurious in effect. This coming
autumn and winter hsnd-painted g9rnitures
will be the very height of fashion; they GER
tsinly will always be ''out of the Common, .
ss the price for these elegant adorn nents is
beyond the ordinary purse.
Painted muslins over thin silks the color
of their ground are very elegantly worn.
The trimmings of these are always shirred or
pulled, any pleating spelling the pattern.
Many of the pattern tissues have the long
polcnsise tunic raised very high on one side
under loops of ribbon, the drapery being
either in upright pleats or by gsugings. For
wsshing materials this style is as useful ss it
is pretty, for the drspery is easily undone
and rearranged.
The close fitting sleeve is yet popular,
though It is not worn so uncomfortably tght
SIS formerly. There can be no more ridicu-
lous sight than that of lsdy-psrticulsrly
one with naturally thin arm and waist
wearing her sleeve drawn so tight IS to
oblige her to keep her srms continually at
one angle because she can not move har ell
bows. A little more latitude hero is con-
drcive of q considerable more grace, g; well
af Indicative of the wearer's having listened
70 the small but profound voice of common
sense.

M morHER,s GRAVE.
BY JOHN HAzELRIes.

lTIED.-At her residence. near Hazslrigy Ind.
ON Wednesday, February p, 1885, IN the sixty-fft1
year OF her age, MrS. Mary Hszslrgg, widow o. the
late Hon. II. G. haZelrgg,. and sister OF Ex-6oy-
ernor Henry s. Lane.l
To-day stood beside my mothers grave,
The soil lust newly dus, where springimes rain
Had grown forth neither blade OF grass nor iloWer
To Geek the hsllowsd spot where only recently
Inc s5ered charge had been CONSIGNED No suns
LIT up the gloom. The city of the dead,
Where no armed sentinel with silent tread
Had Ter stslked forth in majestic mien.
Was warped in4hea7y stiffness: silence reigacds
And TO disturbing element was there
To hover Ger the sacred seD1lcher.
Beside the new-made grave while sohs were born
OF pentup grief which now colvulsively
Did egifate my frame. despite the strength
OF will power exercised high heaven bowed
In deep sOlemnily, where Sorrow, kneeling
Before the shrine Of Reverence. had broke
Did hitherto hold fast the doors which op'ed
To Heaven ana relief. In Fraucy train
] read the virtues which had marked her life,
And unused upon the tranquil nature that,
UnerIing as the gods themselves, had wrought
In characters OF gold the deeds OF good
Whote Utmost soul was stirred with grief and yet
Found comfort in the tears which lowed
lIcesssnt Is the troubled mountain stream
That seeks lis rest in quiet riYulet.
How long knel.,
Thus sobbing out the grief so long pent up,
could not tell; nor knew that the sun,
Beneath the bleak horizon set, had left me
In total darkness wrapt. 1t seemed that years
bad aged my hesrt, till Immortality.
With Trembling, ouNtretched hand did beekon
NE
To clasp its goal and reap reward aud peace
Beneath its shining portals. Bending down
Ny wesry form, till Quivering lips did touch
The mother earth, kissed the sod that hid
From mortal gaze the lsbaster brow
OF her who bore me: then turning on my heels
looEed the world straight in the face-the world
That promised naught to me but sorrOw-
Till sweetfsced Destiny, with horoscope hand,
Wrote out its lesson on the map of Time
Where Ambition taught its creed, and Labor
wooed
The soul of victory

All Around the Honss.

A charming way to flavor custards is to
beat fruit jelly with the whites of the eggs;
red raspberry jelly and ounce jelly are e5-
pecially nice for this.
Horse-Iadish root boiled in salt and water,
with little vinegar, is good TO send 10 the
table with roast meat of any kind; cut it in
thin slices and use it IS q gsrnish.
A handsome tidy is made of linen seine,
with the ends frlnged, OF. with drawn work
at each end, or it may have this work and
the fringe at the bottom only. Then with
black etching silk work some pretty figure
in the center. A vine.like border is a great
additiln.
A very nice way to make a corn starch
pudding is to put half peach in the bottom
of q cup and then posr the corn-starch blanc
mango over it. When ready TO serve, turn
from the cup into 8 saucer. Slices or quar-
tiers Of oranges may be used in place OF the
peach. A thin custard for sauce is recon-.
mended to 60 with the pudding.
If you have cold chicken left from dinner,
and do not know what to do with it, Is there
is not enough for meal, try this way OF
disposing of it: MInce it quite fine. adding
some minced ham and breadcrumbs, moisten
with cream, season with pepper and salt,
put it in pudding dish, and spread a thin

ed on the top. This is good dish for tea.
Salmon, either fresh or canned, may be
made delicious dish; If fresh, boil the fish
in eslted water until it is tender, then put q
layer Of bread or cracker crumbz in the bot.
tom Of pudding dish, then g layer Of fab;
season with pepper and salt; fill the dish
with alternate layers Of fish and crumbs
wet the bread crumbs with milk, or, if this
is too rich to suit your taste. use hot water
Bake for 0 long hour, and have the top well
Drowned. This is dish especially designed
for supper.
Red raspberry pudding is made in this
way: To two ounces of butter allow three
ounces each of sugar and -four; beat two
eggs very light and mix with the sugar
then add the -four and tho butter, which you
have warmed so that it will mix readily; Q
little salt and grated nutmeg msy then be
stirred in. Butter some coffee cups, and il
the bottom of each one put a tablespoonful
3 large one-of jam, or two tablespoonfuls o.
fresh berries; then pour the pudding mix
ture over them. Leave space at the top q
that the pudding may rise little. Bake
for half an hour, and serve with cream an(

This is Mr.. Ruskin's idea Of courtship:
when youth is fully in love with girl,

should Of once tell her go plainly, and take
his chance bravely with other suitors. No
lover should have the insolence to think of
being accepted s.. once, -or should any girl
have tie cruelty to refuse at once. without
severe reasons. IF she simply doesn't like
him she may send him sway for seven years
or so, he vowing to live on crosses and wesr

she likes him little, or thinks she might

The whole meaning and power of true court

shorter than three years st least; seven is, to
my mind, the orthodox time. And these re-
lations between the young people should be
openly and simply known, not to their
friends only but to every body who has the
least interest in them; and girl worth sny-
