The boys Of New York must be
very bad, for they need great deal
Of protection. There is now law
prohibiting the sale Of liquor to them,
another prohibiting the sale Of dan
gerous weapons, and now comes a
committee Of the Legislature Of that
State with bill which provides a
severe penalty to any person who
shall loan, sell or give to any minor
ind r rs years ofage any dime noyl
or work Of fiction without first OBJ
tanning the written consent of his pa
rent or guardian.
The aim ofthis bill isproper enough.
The boys Of New York read class
of books and papers filled with the
widest and ostimpossible stories of
Indians, burglars or prize fighters.
1t would, perhaps, be a very instruct
i've and interesting investigation to
submit to the youth Of New York the
qucstion-What profession they de.
sired and intended to follow? Nearly
all would answtr-Indian scout or
pirate and the remainder would
certainly declare their preference for
the now gentlemanly profession Of
bank robber and prize fighter.
That the youth of the metropolis,
and Of all the country, is being cor
ruptod by the literature provided for
them cannot be denied. Scarcelya
day passes but gang Of boys, FROM
10 to 10 years of age, are captured
on some train few miles from New
York, with u considerable sum of
money, stolen from their parents, en-
route to the West to scalp the red
skins, and two large organizations
were unearthed last winter, regular
ly organized gangs Of amateur bur
glars, among lot of toddling young
sters, who had oaths, passwords, and
all the paraphornalia Of the burglar
of literature.

Farm Notes.

The female moths of the canker
worm cannot fly, but as they hatch
out in warm days at the beginning of
spring, they crawl up the bodies of
apple trees and deposit their eggs.
Hence it is Of no use setting traps for
them to fly into; but band around
a tree filled with tar or printers ink
will stop their progress, and with some
watchiulness they may be easily de-
stroyed.
Fence corners with their mass of
brush and weeds afford secure retreat
for such troublesome insects as live
through the winter, and for the depos-
it OF eggs of others ready to hatch in
spring the larvae prepared to engage

OF these, and thus the destroying ele-

A cheap black paint or varnish for
iron work isprepared as follows: clear
solid wood tar, l0pounds; lamp black
or mineral black, u quarts. The tar
is first heated in large iron pot to
boiling, or nearly so, and the heat
continued for about four hours. The
pot is then moved from the fire out
of doors, and while still warm mot

black is stirred in. If the varnish is
to thick to dry quickly, add more tur,
