1..eoeE. n. Potato suss.

The potato bug has been very busy
this season throughout tho counties Of
Orange and Sullivan. Especially ID
this the case in Sullivan county, where
whole fields of potatoes have been de-
stroyed. The Rev. Father Delveaux, OF
Fremont, Sullivan county, who has suf-
fered from these pests, owns fine pair
Of peacocks. and one day saw the birds
in his choice potato patch going from
plant to plant and seemingly devourlng
something. What was his surprise to
find ont that they were picking off and
eating the potato bugs as fast as they
could catch them. Every morning since
then Father Delveaux has turned the
birds into his potato patch, and they
have devoured quantities of the bugs,
which seem to agree with them.-Port

This advice about soil for Pot Plants
is given from successful experience in
The American Garden: "Some plants,
like the fuchsis, prefer leaf-mold, and
will do better in il than in anything
else I have ever tried; but I grow fine
plants in exactly the same soil that I
give my geraniums and other plants of
that character. It is my practice to
mix turfy loan, which I procure from
under old sods in pasture, garden-mold
and manure which I get in corners Of
the barnyard, we'll together, and add
sand Is I pot my plants, putting in
more or less as I consider advisable,
usually in the proportion of one-third
loan, one third soil and the other third
made up Of the manure and sand. For
strong rooted plants I add less sand
than for those having many small roots.
In all cases add sand enough to keep
the soil from becoming heavy. Most
amateurs do not seem to consider it nec-
essary to pay much attention to the
item Of sand. But it is. Iwould soon-
or omit the manure, il I had to choose
between the two"

Whist Capt sohley Has Done.

I heard man ask yesterday what
6chley had done to earn the honors that
were being thrust upon him. This has
he done:
T When board Of army officers met to
consider tho best means of Greedy res
cue, Schley was selected as tie best
man to conduct the search. There were
score of theories and two score of
plans advanced. One said, ssGreely
must be, here; another said, aYou
will find him there" A third insisted
that he must have gone in this direc-
ton, and fourth that he took another
course. Schley studied Greelyis plans,
made q thorough search of all the rec
ords Of Arctic exploration, and then in
report to the Secretary Of the Navy
said: ..1f Greedy is alive, he is between
this point and that. II he is dead, his
body will be found somewhere on q line
between Camp Conger and Cape SABINE.
Here is the most Reasonable point of
beginning the search, and will seak
him there. n
That point was Cape Sabine, and to
it Scheley hurried with all haste that
steam and sails could carry him, and he
got there . few hours before death came.
Not an hour was lost, not . mistake was
made, and but for schley's energy and
unerring Judgment Greedy would have
starved with his men. There were NO
blunders to regret and repair, no delay
to explain, and no excuses made neces-
sary. The only report he need make
is in the words, II went where I said
he was, and found him. = e
At the top of the foremost Of each
vessel is little sheltered perch Just
large enough for man to sit in, and il
is called the crows nest. From the time
the vessel entered the ice until Greely
was found Captain Schley was almost
constantly in the crows nest, with Q

of the party, and il was he who discov-

The Advantage in Beating the Re

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
To the spectator who is unprovided
with stop watch it cannot make much
difference whether . horss trots mile
in 2:l0t or 2:1O, except in imagine
ton and as matter Of record. But il
is an undenisble fact that the quarter Of
o second makes great difference to q
very large number Of people, to whom
the beating of the record means not only
an improvement in particular horses.
but an improvement and development
Of horses generally. Only two or three
horses in generation may reach such
speed, but, in developing these hun
dreds aud thousands Of other horses are
bred and trained to do much better than
they otherwise would. We have reached
such point now that q second, or as in
the latest case, fraction of second is
oil that can be obtained in attempts to
lower the record. Jay Eye See had no
sooner beaten Moud s. g best time by .
quarter of . second than Maud s. got .
quarter of q second lower still. The rec.
ord, instead Of being 2:109 as it was On
Thursday, or 2:1O asst was on Friday,
became on Saturday 1904, and Maud
8. is still the chief Of trotters. She was
deposed from that high rank for day
