made to get rid of them by drenching the
nest with water from the lawn hose. They
refused persistently to leave, and finally it
was discovered that the ants travelled all
over the limbs of the orange tree and were
evidently feasting on the black scale pest
me ants were then permitted to remain
ana upon an examination made yesterday,
IL was found that not live scale remains
upon the tree or premises. SO far as can be
found, and the tree has taken on a fresh
ana vigorous look and is heavily loaded
with large and exceptionally clean-looking
oranges. The ants are still there, how
ever, and may be seen marching over the
limbs OF the trees as so many sentinels
guarding the premises.
DO THEY LIKE CoTToNY CUSHION SCALE T?
A point of perhaps greater interest for
observation is the fact that in DR.. W, r.
Cluness yard, at the corner of Eighth and
ii streets, similar visitation of ants on a
tree infested with white, or cottony cushion
scale, is TO be seen. The ants are numer-
Gus, and are constantly travelling over the
limbs OF the tree; but as they have only
just made their appearance, it is too early
10 determine whether or not they are max
Ing way with the white scale pest. DR..
Cluness will closely watch their operations.
and if it should develop that they have
turned IN to live upon our dreaded insect
enemy, they will prove an unspeakable
blessing, and everybody will go 10 raising
ants for protection.
THE AUsTRALIAN PARASITE.
1t will be remembered that q parasite was
some time since discovered in Australia
which lives upon the white scale, and spec
linens OF it were imported by the State Ho--
ticullural Society short time ago. w. G.
kleP, State Inspector of Fruit Pests, has
this week visited the propsgating grounds,
IN San Mateo county, and reports great
success in the effort at propagation. He
hopes soon to have large number of these
valuable PARASITES for distribution, and
more extended tests of their availability to
relieve us of the destructive white scale.

sack containing the eggs. The secreting
of this cottony matter and depositing OF
the eggs proceed continuously until all Of
the eggs-numbering from 800 to over
1,000-have been deposited, after which
the female perishes. In the hottest part
of the summer season not more than one
or two dozen eggs have been deposited by
the female before those first deposited be-
gin to hatch out, but in the colder part of
the year frequently eight or nine hundred
are deposited before those first deposited
hatch out. The time required by the fe-
male for depositing her eggs varies accord
ing to the season, in the summer season
requiring about three months. In the
hottest part of the summer the eggs hatch

in week or SO after being deposited by
the female, but in the colder portion of
the year this period is extended to five or
six weeks.
The young female larva, after issuing
from the egg, is of a reddish-yellow color,
and of the form shown in Fig. 81 the eyes,
antenna and legs are blackish and the an
tenne are six.jointed, with the third joint
no longer than those on either side of it.
On the under side of the body, between
the first and second pairs of legs is low
tubercle, from the apex of which issue
three bristle-like organs which constitute
the beak of the insect, by the use of which

vered. The name Par-
chasi Is derry ed from
ti.at Of Mr. Purehas, "a
friend Of Mr.. Sfaskell,
the first des riber OF
This insect.
The earliest record
Il possess of the occur
renee of this insect
within our State is that
given by Prot. Riley,
in his last report as
Entomologlst of the T..
s. Department Of Agr;-
culture. On page 466
he states having first
received specimens of
this insect from San
Francisco in the year
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1888-10-06

pupa state, it somewhat resembles the
adult female, shown in Figure 6, but its
body is much narrower and smoother and
its antenne are only ne-jolnted. The
beak is entirely wanting, SO that during
this-stsge, and also during the remainder
of his natural life, he is destined to take
no food
After reaching his full growth the male
larya creeps into crevice beneath the
projecting bark, or in some other shell
tered place, sometimes descending to
the ground and crawling beneath a
loose clod of earth, or into a
hole or crevice in the ground.
Here he remains quiet for several days,
when there begins to exude from all parts
of his body delicate, cottony matter,
which gradually envelopes his body in a
t1oSsy cocoon, much looser than that Sc
creted by the female for the reception of
her eggs. A short time after the compile
ton of his cocoon the larva casts off his
skin and appears in the pupa state, as
shown in Figure Z. He is now unable to
walk about, although if disturbed he
wriggies around quite lively. After re-
naming in this state for two or three
weeks the skin on the back of the pupa is
rent and the winged male makes his es-
cape therefrom. His body is of yellow
ish-red color, marked on the thorax with
black. He is shown, highly magnifed, in
Figure 5, his natural size being indicated
by the cross below at the right of the figure.
The derivation of the generic name of
this insect, IceTya, is very obscure 1t is
probable that it was derived from the
Greek prefix. isos, equal. and the Latin
word cero, wax, from the waxlike secretion
with which these insects are equally coy

TACTICS GILLIG USED. He Had Tried Men Besides Gen neral

A friend of the late Governor Jewell smiled when approached by reporter and asked about the American exchange.

Con l tinuing he said s'Then he sent letter to
 Marshall Jewell asking..hi to be president. l The governor did not answer it imme-
 diately, and few days afterward was
 surprised to receive a personal visit from 1 Gillig The latter was anxious to have 1 Jewell accept and even went so far as to assure him that he would have no duties to perform, would receive a salary of l s, GOO year, and in addition would get q present of block of stock. The old war horse had already decided to decline, and he was con
 sidering how he would do so without giv- ing offence. The last proposition settled it. He wasted no words, but showed his
 visitor to the door. After that Gillig

SUGGESTIONS TO YOUNG MEN.
+. ;. A1ngsbury's Plan for FouhdatloI
 on Which to Build Success.

+. J. A1ngsbury's Plan for Fouhdatlon on Which to Build Success.
 Y. M. 0. A. hall was filled with young men last evening to hear what f. J. Kings bury had to say to them in the way of ad- vice. The subject on which he was an nounced to speak was ''Suggestlons to Young Men" It may have been supposed | that he would unfold to the youth the plan ot pecuniary salvation and point out l the road to wealth, but he did not do that lie did, however, give the young men present some good advice concerning the 1 basis of moral character which, of course, is desirable, if not an essential, factor to success. He spoke for over three-quarters of an hour, interspersing his lecture with stories and saws by way of better illus trating just what he wanted to convey to l his audience
 l MT Kingsbury, while he saw advantages in the influence of home life, thought it was not to be regretted if young man was without home. Tie Young Mems Chris tian Association was replacing the home of many young men. It bnilt up 8 social intercourse and hea1thful companionship. He laid great emphasis upon the habit young people had got into of not connecting themselves with the church. He considered 1t the duty of every young man to connect himself with and contribute to the support of some church whose by machinery great moral improvement is to be brought about. In the matter of books the speaker said that he would advise those that prove to be of the most interest. If it is novel the style should be studied, words marked and the dictionary, atlas and encyclopaedia referred to in connection with it. He ad- vocated the study of natural history by ob- servation. As man once said "How much better acquainted you feel with bug when you know it's name." First find out what l you don't know and then add to what you do know. The art of conversation was an important thing to young and was more essential to-day than forensic speak ing. Conversation clubs and careful training of oneself in this line should not be neglected.
 Good manners, continued the speaker, is clearly one of the sources of power, and is worth cultivating. He believed if two young men were to start out in life with other things equal and one lacking in man. ners the other would easily outstrip him. He advised fostering kindness and civility to fsllow workmen, q thank you no matter how small the favor Coming to the more tangible clements of success the speaker advocated thrift, avoid ing debts as one would distemper, pay ing as one goes, and laying up something no matter how small the amount, and faithfulness to employer, going on the principle that whatever is worth doing is worth doing we'll.

The Little Tycoon"

There are number of very pretty selec- tions in the 'Little Tycoon" which will be presented at the opera house tomorrow evening. The waltz song, Glove Comes Like Summer Sigh," has an easy swing ing movement, brightness and melodi- ousness that cause it to be an instant fa- vorite. 'tWe've Scheme" is graceful and pleasing, making with it's excellent accom- paniment, song that charms the more that it is sung. Then there is the lively and pretty Heel and Toe" which be- comes popular the instant it. is heard. |" The Fatal Step" is another entertaining song, and several others are exactly the pieces to give comic opera dash and fa- vor. < .-z..-s. .s.z.r.a

 Frank Mayo will be seen at the opera house Friday evening in "Nordeck,' an admirable play, particularly adapted to Mayo. Waldemar Nordeck undoubtedly gives him greater opportunities than his characters in "Davy Crockett" or ''The Royal Guard" ''Nordeck'' ranks with the best theatrical productions of the day. The draperies and costumes used in the production are elegant.

COMMUNICATIONS.
WATERBURY, April IS, 1888

WATERBURY, April IS, 1888. To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT
 The report in Tuesdays American of the high school commencement exercises was in the main creditable. However, it is the opinion of many who were present that evening, and who are competent judges, that one of the young ladies, Miss Mar garet Breen, was treated unjustly in that report. The American writer stated that Miss Breen spoke with positiveness all most pugnacious, but will grow milder, &c., &c., This statement will admit of considerable modification. That Miss Breen was positive is certain, for she knew wherof she spoke; that she was pugnacious there is not the shadow of evidence. More over, the word is more suggestive of the prize ring than of the school room. The assertion that she will grow milder has no meaning in the case. Miss Breen's essay was not only we'll written; it was read in a manner that satisfied many of her auditors that she possesses elocutionary talent of no mean order. It is unfair to attribute to her-or, for that matter, to any one else-a quality that she does not possess. AN AUDITOR.

The Adventures of q Horse.

Among the incidents of the storm in Boston, The Electric Review relates how the entanglement of a horse attached to one of the coal delivery teams was caused by the wires. It was in the evening. The horse got entangled and the wires threw him down. Some of the snarl of wires proved to be those of electric lights The kicking and the strug- gles of the horse brought the wires in contact, and in the words of the teamster, 9'Every time he kicked it would tighten, and every time it frightened he would kickl I thought to myself, He is bewitched with lightning. I tried to unbutton him, and every time unbuttoned one place he was struck with lightning in another" The poor horse was finally released from his peril by somebody who understood the cause of the trouble.- Scientific American.
