The CranDsrry,s Foes

The ravages o the fire blight in
Massachusetts alone, during the past
year, amounted to from $4,000 to
$4,000. The so-called "ire-blight" is
the result of the ravages of the vine
worm, while the berries as they grow
are attacked in an early stage of their
development and destroyed by the berry
worui. The latter enters into the
heart of the berry, which, in conse-
quence, turns prematurely red, dries
up, and finally falls 10 the ground.
The worm appears to be easily effect
ed by any slight jar of the earth or foli-
age and will then drop Immediately to
The ground. 1t takes a great deal of
practice to find them. A cranberry
bog is often considered as something
tn t will take care of itself, but, on the
contrary, some of our best bo4s are laid
out carefully in beds, well and evenly
prepared, and trenched with a near
inlet from some brooklet or ditch. In
spraying the vines the spray was
thrown with walerlng-pot and work.
ed well. The solution used was
watery mixture OF Paris green, and as
a result scarcely worm was to be
found upon the whole bog. AS regards
the theory that thee might be live or
six species of moths attacking the cram
berries, all of which bore certain re-
semblance to each other, Mr. VIM.
sanders mentions four species of Tort
rid moths as effecting the cranberry
vines, and one as etfecting the berry,
although one of the former may possi-
bly, not be injurious. With regard to
the other three species affecting the
foliage, l believe still more uncertainty
exists. OF one thing, however, am
certain, have examined between
twenty and thirty caterpiilars from one
bog, and cannot but believe them to be
all stages Of the same species. l have
not succeeded in rearing single vine

hundred berries whose interior con-
taiped larv@ of tine berry worm, as

or miller was visible September IA,
while most of the berries had shrunk to
dried pods, showing the work of the
caterpillar even after the berries had
been put in the box. OF the tenacity
of the life of the worm 1 am assured.
One specimen was alive, though rather
benurnbed, nearly two months after it
had been put in hox.

Thtse les ons were varied by little
sketches or reports of one Sunday to be

hold with special zest. None Of this
family could sing. She thought of

much of Isaiah, and many HYMNS, re-
peating them in concert, learning to
count upon this hour around the fire as
others do upon their music. How many

Nate went away to school The old
home was kept bright and pleasant,
friends, new settlers, came in, and now
there was visiting and social life.
Jerry stayed on the farm; Theod,

hear all your voices again." Johnnie
wrote: Mother, think that everything

When Jerry, who remained faithful al
ways, had listened to his brothers, he
put his arm about her, saying, teaderly:
"There will never be anybody Like
mother to me.n
she died at sixty-hve, very suddenly.
Only few hours before, she had ex-
) claimed, as her children all came home
together: There never were such good
boys as mine. You have repaid me a
thousand fold. God grant YOU all happy
homes" They bore her coffin to the
: grave themselves. They would not let
, any other person touch it. In the even
ing they gathered around the old
hearthstone in the sittlng-room and
draw their chairs tOOathpr No one
spoke until Nate said: "BoYs, let us
pray;" and then, all kneeling around
I her vacant chair, prayed that the
: mantle of their mother might fall upon
them. They could ask nothing be-

STEwED FRUIT FOR aoUT AND DYsPEP
sIA.-Dr. Miner Fothergill recommends
the use of stewed fruits in many cases
of gout aud dyspepsia. Sugar is n.
doubtedly Objectionable to many, but ii
is by no means necessary to add sugar
to stewed fruit. If the acidity be neu-
tra'ized by an alkali little or no sugar
is required. Thrifty housewives have
long been familiar with the fact that
the addition of small quantity of bi-
carbonate OF soda to stewed fruit re-
duces the aoidity, 80 as to save the ne.
cessity for 30 much sugar. If about as
much bicarbonate OF potash as will lie
on shilling (English) be added to each
pound of fruit it will be found sufficient
to neutrallze the acidity, and to bring
about the natural sweetness. Milk,
puddings and stewed fruits are excel
lent for the dypspeptic. the bilious anc
the gouty.

AMONG the many points to be oonsid-

is Its capacity for being turned upside

ture destiny may demand such trans
formation. 1t is also desii able to have
goods that can be dyed, and on that
account mixtures of silk and wool
should be avoided. All wool materials,
such as serge, cashmere, fannels and

more satisfactory and are often cheap

which circular letters would subject him
to. 1t is safe to presume that "W. F. Read

The Unexpected occurs.

Republican representations Of ihhar-
mony among the Democratic majority in
the House of Representatives does not seem
to be predicated upon very good grounds.
Congress has now been in session nearly two
months, and so far everything has run
along with the utmost smoothness. In the
last Congress, when Keller was elected
Speaker, q row was precipitated among the
Republican majority Immediately upon the
announcement Of his Committees, and the
row was kept up throughout both sessions.
In this Congress ready scquiescence was
given by the entire Democratic majority
to the election OF Mr.. Carlisle as Speaker,
and his selection Of Committees has given
as general satisfaction.
The Committees are now all industri-
ously at work blocking out the immense
business Of the session, and not the
faintest sign OF trouble is anywhere visible.
The indications point to harmonious &C.
ton on the tariff question, which has been
considered the dangerous shoal threaten
ing the Democratic ship. while the mate
rial economies proposed by Mr.. Randall's
Appropriations Committee, indicate that
the session will be one fraught with a meas
ure of success that will send the Demo
cratic party into the Presidential cam
paign with q boom only to be secured by
thorough accord and q record that may be
pointed at with pride.

A Cat story.

Thomas Il. Williams, Jr., Of Stockton,
CAL, q son of Gen. Williams, formerly Of
Nevada, having begun to buy cats with the
purpose of exterminating the gophers that
are laying waste the fields Of alfalfa on
Union Island. the Sacramento Record
Union tells a pertinent cat story: Shortly
after the discovery of the Comstock mine
an old gentleman was unable to meet q
mortgage Of 5 1880 on his place on Nor
mon Island. A stranger, stopping at his
door, saw several pretty kittens playing in
the yard. He said: Those cats, II you
had them on the Comstock, would bring
you $40 apiece" The old man saddled
his horse, and for the next fortnight rode
from house to house, farm to farm, and
village to village, begging and buying
cats. he got 500 and sold them on the
Comstock mine, and after he had paid of
his mortgage, and put in the bank $500
clear, he told his neighbors why he had
wanted cats. they no longer deemed him
crazy on cats.

The Mask Bal. Postponed.


The masquerade ball which was to have
come off last night has been postponed
until tomorrow night, owing to the

for the occasion are made up Of gentlemen
of the highest responsibility. Their names
lent to the entertainment makes il certain
that the ball will be conducted in every
way 30 az TO be above criticism. 1t is q
certainty that no persons will be allowed
10 attend in masque or otherwise whom il
would be unpleasant for any lady or gen.
tlemen to meet on the floor. The gentle
men OF the various committees are inter
estsd 10 the success Of the party, and will
assist Mr.. Mckinley in making the affair q
grand and pleasurable entertainment. We
have heard a number Of ladies and gentle
men say that they are going to attend and
have a good time, and We are satisfied that
Wednesday night the Opera House will be
crowded with merry masquers. II is a
