A New and Serious Strawberry Pes

Mr. Samuel g. Wynant. Rossvilie,
Staten Island, \. v. Il successful straw
berry grower for twenty wears, informs
us that this year his crop has proved al
most an entire failure, owing to the raw
ages OF vast numbers Of a small beetle.
Specimens being submitted to us for eX-
animation, we have discovered them to
be the Strawberry WeeviI, (1nth0HomUs
mUscaiHS). Now for the first time this
beetle appears as a serious enemy to the
strawberry, though it has been known to
scientists for some years, having been
described 10y Say. The beetle is an
eighth OF an inch long, and varies in
color from a dull-red. to almost black.
The Wing-cascs have impressed lines,
bearing a few scattered dots. Very
little is known Of the habits Of this new
enemy TO the strawberry and its raw
ages this season suggest it as a subject
worthy OF the immediate attention Of en-
tomologlsts. Until the natural history
OF the insects is known, We can only
mention remedies to be applied 10 the
deVouring beetles The weevils feed
upon the floral parts when the straw
berry plants are in bloom, and also pierce
the trult-bearing stems, causing them to
break off with their partly formed ber-
ries. In using any insecticide, it must
be remembered that it is unsafe to use
substances poisonous to persons. Paris
Green and London Purple may he safely
used on young apples to kill the codling
moth worm but TO dust or spray a fruit
ing strawberry bed with a compound of
arsenic, would be running too MANY
risks. An emulsion Of kerosene or pet
roleum may prove satisfactory remedy.
Pyrethrum powder is an excellent in
secticide, and experiments should be
made to prove its value in this case.
After the life history of the weevil is
fully known. it may be found easy to de-
stroy this enemy in one or more of its
earlier stages of development. Some OF
our insect enemies come and go, while
others remain and continue to destroy as
long as their tavorite food plants are
grown, unless fought with a tireless vigi-
lance. American Agriculturist for Au-

THE ART OF EARLY RISING. The
proper time to rise, says the Lancet" is
when sleep ends. Doing should not be
allowed. True sleep is the aggregate of
sleeps, or is a state consisting in the
sleeping or rest of all the several parts of
the organism. Sometimes one and at
other times another part of the body, as
whole, may be the least tatigued, and
so the first to awake, or the most eX-
hausted, and therefore the most difficult
to arouse. The secret of good sleep is,
the physiological conditions of rest being
established, so to work and weary the
several parts of the organism as to give
them proportionally equal need of rest
at the same moment; and, to wake early
and feel ready to rise, fair and equal
start of the sleepers should be secured;
and the wise self-manager should not al
low drowsy feeling of the consciousness
or weary senses, or an exhausted muscu
lar system, to beguile him into the folly
of going to sleep again when once he has
been aroused. After very few days of
discipline, the man who resolves not
to doze, that is, not to allow some sleepy
part of his body to keep him in bed after
his brain has once awakened, will find
himself, without knowing why, an early
riser.

Gen. Grant at his Long Branch cottage said
last Thursday: Il see newspaper insinuations
that l am opposed to Mr.. Blaine's election or
am not favorably disposed to him. They al
not true. He ought to be elected. He would
be President of the United States in fact as well
as in name. He has twenty-five years of eX-
perience in public life, and knows every feature
of the public business. To reject such man in
all the plenitude of his knowledge and ability
and will for a man of Governor Cleveland's
limited experience, would be beneath the good
sense of our people," The General added that
he had little doubt of the result.

The reserved fund also shows healthy
growth. The statute creating this provides
that one-fourth of one per cent. of the average
amount of deposits for the six months previous

of doubtful securities have been placed in

over 100000 per year since 1879. If no more

RESULT OF THE SEMI-ANNUAL EXAMINATION.
DEPOSITS LARGER THAN EVER BEFORE.
Hon. f. f. Richards. the bank examiner, has
completed his first examination of the savings
banks OF this State, and has found them in a
more satisfactory condition than ever before.
The amount of deposits exceeds that of any
preceding year, and the class of securities held
by the banks has not suffered any depreciation
during the general unsettIing of values that has
been going on for some time past. About the
only securities held by the banks of the State
which pass their dividends are the Evansville
bonds, which have been held for several years.
All securities at present authorized by the
Legislature for investment have remained in
good standing and have suffered no dcpre-
citation.
The following statements will show how the
business of the banks has increased during the
past six months:
