How To Do Ii.

Here is Bob Burdette's idea of tenn
perance as expressed by himself in
a lecture at Buffalo recently: "Just
quit. Without oath resolution or
promise. Simply quit. II you have
a young mans weakness for wine,
beer or whiskey, as the railroad man
says, shut her off, There is no
trouble about it. Let me tell you
there is no harm in whisky. 1t does
not and cannot hurt you if you don t
drink it. That is all you are to do.
Don't be fanatic. Don't be a re-
former. Don't be a prohibtionist
lunatic. Just simply don't drink.
All the whisky in America can't
make you drunk if you don't drink
any of it.

Two men were standing at the gate
of a country farm yard whiting
sticks and giving each other dots
about managing women. "Tslk
sassy to 'em," the man on the out
side of the fence said, SAN yen see
how they'll be fetched down."
Just then the door opened and a
red headed. long. necked woman
yelled:
"Say, Zeke, Their four's outW
"Out wharf" he yelled back.
"out'n the bar'l," she answered.
"Wall put it back an cover it up
tighter" he replied, while the man
on the outside grinned.
"Don't you See how she's hacked

frey topknot disappeared.
II does,' spoke the elated victor.
Presently the same shril voice
cried:
"Zeke, Use gwine over TO mars,
am eff ye think Their measles air
ketchin' I'll leave Their baby hyar."
"Dunno whether they's ketchin'
or NOT, repliou tue husoduu' 'o
never seed 'em ketch enythin'."
Again the head was drawn back
amid applause from the outside. The
next time the door opened the muz-
zle of a shotgun was poked out and
bead drawn on the sassy man.
"Zeke," came the solemn voice.
"Melindy," he gasped, looking
tor some place to dodge.
"Zeke," she continued, "the flour
is OUT"
"All rite, I'm off for the mill at
once" he answered shiveringly.
"Zeke, I'm gwina over to mars
for spell; dye think the measles is

"Kerrect," she said, lowering the
gun, "I'm off, Ye can scrter clean

moving aside to let her pass.

Ideas of Locality.

An Ohio correspondent suggests
that there is some relation between
lost people describing a circle in their
wanderings, from one limb being
longer than another, and what is or
dinarily spoken of as getting "turn-
ed around" when people travelling
are confused as to the points of the
compass, and attributes both phe-
nomena to some popularity OF the
brain. Neither is owing to any "pe
culiarity" of the brain, both are
rather the neces, airy results of the
normal operation of a sound mind.
On the prairie as on the ocean, in the
dark, or in strange places anywhere
one depends upon definite known
bearings for fixing the points of the
compass. When these pass out of
sight on land 1t is generally by sue
cessive steps through surroundings
less and less accurately observed, so
that, particularly in journeying
through the night, or for period
when the shifting of position as to
external, objects cannot be noted, the
memory bears a constant impress of
the direction last observed, and seeks
to fit new surroundings thereto.
The compass, or the sun and the
stars, are the usual means tor cor
recting the wrong impressions; but
it is only by a subsequent mental
process, which, with Intermittent at
tention, is often good deal pro
tracted, that we are able, in some
cases, to obtain correct ideas of loca.
tons into which we have been but
newly introduced.

These pests are very destructive, as they
generally appear in fnyriads. They destroy
the bloom Of cereal plants, such as wheat,
barley and oats, by nibbling the outer en-
velope and tissue which connects it at the
stalk. They also infest the foliage ofpear and
peach trees. The specimens of grapevine

G. I. Palmer, OF Sacramento, writes :
" ! send YOU some wood and leaves taken
off the Mission and MuScat grapevines.
The leaves, wood and fruit of the Muscat
are covered with small black dots. Oeca-
sionally a vine Of the Mission is found on
which the fruit is dried and shriyeled up
and the leaves withered. ] have sulphured
these vines carefully three times this sea-
son, and also cultivated well, yet they are
blighted, as the specimens show, etc.
Reply: The yeIlowish brown marks on
the leaves are a fungus growth (mildew);
the marks on the Mission grapes are also a
fungus growth. l have noticed this species
of fungi in several vineyards in different
sections of the State. and have recommend
cl The cutting off of the canes and fruit in
tected as soon as noticed, and destroy them
by burning. This is a very destructive spe-
cies and should not be allowed to spread.
The black dots on the Muscat wood, foliage
and fruit denote the presence of tbrips in
the vineyard, and the empty skins on the
leaves folded up denote the presence of the
vine-hoppcr. \ very common error exists
among many of the vine growers by term
ing the yine-hopper the "Trip. The vine
hoppers and thnps are
