THE PEACH MOTH AGAIN.
J. c. Head, Cloverdale, Sonoma county,
writes
send you by mail some diseased peach and
aDricot limbs | do not know what is the cause
The same disease attacked the lower limbs last
year, but this year it is all over the new growth
Reply: The disease is caused by the
larvae of the peach moth. (See WEEKLY
UNION of the 18th and 18th OF April
Remedy Cut off all infested branches
and terminal buds, and spray thoroughly
with solution of whale-oil soap and sui
phur, in which mix one pound OF bubach
in every ten gallons, This will destroy any
moths (of any kindl on or around the tree.
The first brood of the season will emerge
from their transformations early IN May IN
this vicinity. From indications, if the
spread of this pest is not prevented, it will
do more damage to stoned fruits-peaches,
apricots, plums and nectarines-than the
Goblin moth has done in the past to the
apple and pear crop. All pruninSs, etc,
should be destroyed by burning.
Mr.. -: Send us the specimens and we
will examine them, and give you such in
formation as we know to be reliable, but
we must decline making any criticism on
the work of others.

The Nriseries OF a Mean Man.

Sometimes wonder what mean man
thinks about when he goes to bed When
he turns out the light and lies down.
When the darkness closes in about him
and he is alone, and compelled to be honest
with himself And not bright thought,
not general impulse, not a manly act, not
word of blessing, not grateful look,
comes to bless him again. Not a penny
dropped into outstretched hand of poverty,
nor the balm of loving word dropped
into an aching heart; no sunbeam of en-
enlargement cast upon struggling life
the strong right hand of fellowship reached
out to help some fallen man to his feet
when none of these things come to him as
the God bless you" of the departed day,
how he must hate himself and sleep on the
other side of the bed When the only
victory he can think Of is some mean vic
tory, in which he has wronged neighbor
No wonder he always sneers when he tries
to smile. How pure and fair and good ali
the rest Of the world must look to him, and
how cherries and dusty must his own
path appear. Why, even one lone isolated
act of meanness is enough to scatter cracker
crumbs in the bed of the average man, and
what must be the feelings of man whose
whole life is given up to mean acts? When
there is so much suffering and heartache
and misery in the world, anyhow, why do
you add one pound of wickedness or sad
ness to the general burden? Don't be
mean, my boy

A Remedy for the Nervous

DIR. Oswald writes in Popular Science
Monthlg: When ! reflect on the i'm
munity of Woodworking people from the
effects of wrong and overlooking" says DIR.
Boerhaave, d" cannot help thinking that
most of our fashionable diseases might be
cured mechanically instead of chemically,
by climbing bitterwood tree, or chopping
it down, if you like, rather than swallow
ing a decoction of its disgusting leaves"
For male patients, gardening, in all its
branches is about as fashionable as the
said diseases, and no liberal man would
shrink from the expense Of board fence, if
it would induce his drug poisoned wife to try
her hand at turf-spading, or at hoeing, or even
a bit of wheelbarrow work. Lawn tennis
will not answer the occasion. There
is no need of going to extremes and
exhausting the little remaining strength
of the patient, but without certain
amount of fatigue the specific fails to
operate, and experience will show that
labor with practical purpose gardening,
boat-rowing, or amateur carpenterlng-
ables people to beguile themselves into a
far greater amount of hard work than the
drill-master of a gymnasium could get
them to undergo. Beside the potential
energy that turns hardships into play
work, athletics have the further advantage
of a greater disease-resisting capacity
Their constitution does not yield to every
trihing accident; their nerves can stand
the wear and tear of ordinary excitementS;
a little change in the weather does not dis
turb their sleep; they can digest more
than other people. Any kind of exercise
that tends to strengthen-not a special set
Of muscles, but the system in general-has
proportionate influence on the general
vigor Of the nervous organism, and thereby
on its pathological power Of resistance.
For nervous children my first prescrip-
ton would be the open woods and merry
playmate for the chlorotic affections of
their elder comrades, some diverting, but
withal fatiguing, form of manual labor In
the minds of too many parents there Is a
vague notion that rough work brutalizes
the character The truth is, that it regu-
lates its defects; it Gains the temper, it
affords an outlet to things that would
otherwise vent themselves in fretfulness
and ugly passions More school teachers
know that city children are most tidgety,
more irritable and mischievOus than their
village comrades; and the most placid
females Of the genus homo are found among
the well-fed but handwriting housewives

Coon ARCHITECTURE. - One general
rule, moreover, may be laid down to guide
our criticism. This il the rule that as a
work Of architecture is both very conspic-
uous and very Iong-lived, its aim should
be "to satisfy and not to startle" The
fact that building is striking" is often
held to prove that it fine. But the best
buildings are those which, whether strik-
ing or not-oftener not, perhaps, at least
in modern work will seem better and
better as the days go by; viii not grow
oppressive or aggressive or impertinent, or
tame, fiat and uninteresting in proportion
as they grow familiar Mrs. Van Rensse-

4 Wonderful Bel.

To Osaka we travelled near the shore of
the inland seas, with a range Of mountains
not far distant on the left. The railroad
is subsequently built and equipped in first
class style. Leaving the bay at Osaka,
the road pursued northerly course TO
Kioto, most of the way on high embark
ments built up through rice plantations,
but occasionally passing through dense
bamboo thickets. The temples here are
few Of them painted, and though in some
cases furnished with gorgeous parapher-
MALTA, are not TO be compared with those
of Nikko and Shiba Their distinguishing
feature is the great bell, which swings in a
monster wooden belfry half way up the
hillside back of the buildings proper.
This bell is 4 huge bronze cup, with nearly
perpendicular sides and a fiat crown,
which, like all other japanese bells, is
sounded by means Of huge beam, kept in
place by ropes, but when occasion requires
brought against the rim of the bell with
great force. 1t requires twelve coolies
to manipulate this beam. Formerly it was
only rung once year, but now it may be
heard two or three times every month
This bell Is one OF the greatest wonders in
Japan. 1t is Is feet high, 81 inches thick,
9 feet in diameter, and weighs $4,000 cat
ties, or nearly "a tons. 1t was cast in
monster mold in the year 1888, so that it
is inst $50 years old now. | forget how
much gold entered into its composition, but
| have a strong conviction that it was 800
pounds avoirdupois. As the bell was cast
with the rim up, this gold Is all in the
crown, but time has entirely dimmed any
luster which it may have lent to the alloy.
Only a miracle of casting could have ended
in such magnificent tone. struck the

THE GOBLIN MOTH.
By the 10th of May the bands should be
placed around the trees, to capture the
laryas OF the first brood of the season. /
founda pear April 18th with larya, proba-
bly, four or five days from the egg. To
catch the larvae cut old grain sacks or cloth
in strips from SIX to eight inches wide, and
place a band on each tree near the ground.
Ut is expected that the rough bark has been
scraped off between the band and the
grounda The fastening cord or wire should
be as near the upper edge as possible,
allowing the lower edge to spread ont from
the tree, say a quarter of an inch or so.
Paper viii do for bands, but cloth is prefer
able. Pieces of old sacks or rags should be
placed in the crotches of the trees. The
Larvae. after leaving the fruit, when looking
for a place in which to pass their trans
formations. will hide under the bands thus
around the tree, or underneath the rags IN
the crotchcs. and make their cocoOns or
nests. The bands and material in the
Orotches should be examined every seventh
day. without fail, and all the larvse found on
them picked off and destroyed.
Notwithstanding the fact that recon-
mendations have been made that it is not
necessary to examine the bands, etc, every
seventh day, the following fact would seem
to indicate otherwise: A larva which l
caught changed to pupa on the 2Sth day
of June, 1855, and the moth emerged from
the pupa on July 9th. Length OF time
spent in the pupa state, less that eight days
Infested fruit should be picked OIL the
tree and DESTROYED, by boiling or other
wise Fruit falling off the trees should be
gathered daily. and all that is infested de
stroyed By following these directions in
a thorough manner, the Goblin moths raw

Only a boy, with his noise and fun,
The yeriest mystery under the sun
As brimful of mischief, and wit and gee,
AS ever d human frame can be;
And as hard to manage as-What? ali me
IT'S hard to tell, yet we love him well.
Only boy, with his fearful tread,
Who cannot be driven, but must be led;
Who troubles the neighbors dogs and cats,
And tears more clothes and spolls more hats,
Loses more tops, and kites, and bats
Than would stock store for year or more.
Only boy, with his wild strange ways,
With his idle hours and his busy days
With his queer remarks, and his odd replies
Sometimes foolish and sometimes wise;
Often brilliant, for one of his size,
As meteor hurled from the planet-World.
Only a boy, who will be man,
If nature goes on with its first great plan;
If water or fire or some fatal snare,
Conspire not to rob US of this, our heir,
our blessing, our trouble our rest, our care,
Our torment, our joy-only boy.
