Hunting the Onion Grub.

Passengers in Erie, passing over the
great Chester onion meadows at night,
between Greycourt and Chester, are at
tracted by myriads of lights that CLEAN
in all directions over the meadows.
There are hundreds of them. They are
lanterns and torches in the hands of
men, women and children, who are vi
tally interested in the growth of the
onion crop on the meadows, and who
are carefully seeking what is known as
the ''onion grub" This is a worm
which made its first appearance on the
meadows last year, with disastrous re
suits to the crop. 1t has appeared
in increased numbers this year, and the
farmers have as yet found no means of
destroying it except by hunting it at
night, during which time it does its
feeding, remaining hidden somewhere
during the day. So destructive is the
work of this entirely new pest, that
acres upon acres of onions have been
plowed up and replaced with other
crops Many bushels of the grubs are
collected every night and burned. As
the onion crop of the Chester meadows
amounts to something like $500, 900 a
wear. the importance of successfully
combating the grub is apparent. The
insect touches nothing but the onion
plant,

The Story of two Soldiers.

An Army Surgeon writes to an ex-
change as follows.-I know an old cod,
ger who was wounded in the foot at
Stone River, but who sworc by all that
was good and bad that he would never
leave the service for such scratch as
that. 1t interfered with his efficiency
as marcher, but his captain acted on
the theory that veteran who could
shoot and who could keep his head in
time of battle was better than raw re-
cruit, and when the old fellow insisted
that he should remain in the service
favored his claims and he did remain. !
had him attached to the ambulance
corps, so that in long marches he could
ride, but there was never a battle in
which his command participated but
what he was in the ranks doing excellent
service. After the close of the war he
became an active business man and his
old wound did not trouble him for sew
eral years. There came time, however,
when he was confined to the house as a
cripple, and when he was persuaded to
make application for pension he was
laughed at for his pains.
In another case after the battle of

him again TO the hospital when his cap

that he be allowed to remain, the men
in the same mess volunteering to act as
nurses. He recovered with astonishing
rapidity, aud in three or four weeks
was on duty again, taking his turn in all
sorts of weather and under all sorts of
circumstances. He went through the
war in that way, but two years after the
war closed, at an old-fashioned raising in
West Virginia, he went beyond his
strength. The wound broke out in the
old place and he became an invalid.
When heard of the matter, those who
ought to have taken sympathetic atti-
tude in such case were endeavoIing to
show that the mans disability dated

"HOw Queer YOu'Ds Is"

Among the officers of the Missouri
company was one who was particularly
fastidious in the matter of eating and
drinking. He could not get used to
the rough and tumble life of camp, and
he did not want to. On one occasion
number of us rode up to a large
spring where a dirty old crone was
washing clothes or where she had been
washing clothes, for at the moment OF
our arrival she was rubbing snuff over
her long, yellow teeth. There was at
the spring no drinking vessel except
gourd. The fastidious officer looked
first at the snuffy mouth of the old wo
man and then at the gourd, and entered
into calculation as to how many times
the gourd had passed between the spring
and her lips. But he was very thirsty,
and seeing a broken piece opposite the
handle, he concluded he would get
away from the old woman's place OF
drinking and try this unused notch in
the gourd. He did this and took a
long drink When he had finished,
the old woman remarked: GLOW queer
you'ns is. You'ns drinks out OF the
notch where l always drinks. ."-Ch'cGg0

The High-Pressure System.

The Lewiston, Me-, journal says:
What would be thought of a man who
set fire to his winters supply of coal in
a heap some day in December, and aid
ed the combustion by pouring on kero-
scne to make it burn faster? But this
would be slight folly compared with
what many people are doing. A prom
inent citizen of a Maine city, a young
man, was taken sick few weeks ago,
and the physician at his first Wis t said
the sick man had no chance for life be-
cause he had so used up his vital force
by overwork that no strength was left
to withstand the disease. Since his
death, church, Sunday-school, business
associates, family, and hosts of other
friends have been testifying to the worth
and labors of the deceased, and to the
great loss sustained in his death. 1t is
worth much to leave such record be-
hind one, but it would be better so to
care for ones health as to make the SER
vice more lasting. However, the ones
who especially need to take this lesson
to heart are usually the last to do SO.
