PROTECTING POTATOES.
Tho Only Practicable way Of Successfully
DISCRIMINATING bugs.

In this section (Tompltins County,
N. W OF country are thousands OF
acres planted to potatoes, and the pota-
toe bug becomes more troublesome
every year. and go thick that whole.
sale poisoning Is the only practicable
way OF protecting the crop from COM
pleto destruction.
We can get over the ground twice rs
fast mixing Paris green with plaster as
with water. Every one uses plaster
hore, and the smart ones procure their
supply in winter, and prepare 1t for
use Immediately or on stormy days, rs
IL can be mixed faster and more ac-
curatcly Mt the barn, and is conceded
by nll to gain strength by being mixed
with Paris green some length of time
before application.
When the vines are small we use n
small tin can with wire screen bottom
aud stiff tin handle, which can be made
at any tin shop. Larger ones have
arms inside which loosen up the plaster
by twisting the can around over each
hill. With these one man Gun get over
six acres OF potatoes in n day and kill
every bug, do no damage to the foliage,
waste no green by dropping it between
the hills, benefit the crop by using
plaster enough to pay for all the
plaster costs, and grow an enormous
crop of clover on the ground the next
season. One need not apply when the
vines are damp with dew, nor on n
perfectly still day, as plaster, Mt least
the kind we have here, will stick to
the leaves Mt any time.
The secret Of success is in the thor
ough mixing of poison and plaster, and
putting It on all parts of the hill. 1t
does not require quantity but evenness
in application, as the bugs will congre-
gate on parts of vines not touched by
plaster. We give the can quick twist
once over each hill which throws plaster
in circle over top of hill. One can
60 as fast us he can walk and do good
work. In experimenting l learned
these facts: 1. Foliage can be killed
with green and water, with purple and
water, with London purple and plaster,
but never with green and plaster; also
by the use of excessive quantities of the
poisons. 2. No growth can be secured
by planting whole seed, which will give
the largest growth of vines, or by en-
riching ground, or by constant cultiva-
tion, or by early planting that will be
any protection whatever against tho
ravages of the bugs. 8. Apply poison
as soon as slugs hatch, but before they
scatter to different parts of the hill. 4.
One can not afford to neglect last
broods, even after potatoes seem to
have completed their growth. A por-
tion left for experiment yielded at the
rate of fifteen dollars per acre less,
which sum would have paid for harvest
ing the whole crop. 8. The cost of
the mixture and labor in applying it is
repaid by increased yigor in the plants.

TIED TO APRON STRINGS.
Boys Whose Training Docs Not Fit Them
to Fight tho Battle of Life.


to Fight the Battle of Life.
Perhaps the greatest misfortune that
can befnll man is TO have been an only
son, brought up by tender and timid
widow mother II is easy to see at u
glance, among a crowd OF boys, who has
been educated under exclusively femi-
nine influence. The long, curled, shin
ing hair, the fantastic tunic-gcncrally
n kind of hybrid between tunic and
frock-the lavish use of embroidery,
the soft, pretty behaved manner, the
clean, unroughened hands, all mark the
boy of whom his mother so often wished
that he had been girl, and whom she
had made as like girl as possible. His
intellectual education has been as un-
boylike us his daily breeding.
Mothers boys are taught to play the
piano, to amuse themselves with paint
ing or netting, or perhaps little wool
work in the evening-anything to keep
them quicsly seated around the family
table, without an outbreak of boyish
restlcssnYs or inconvenient energy;
hunt to shoot, to swim, to play Mt
cricket, football or billiards, unless
there is stalwart uncle about who
takes the reins in his own hands mt
times, and insists on having word to
say about his nephew's education.
There is danger in all, and evil in
some of the things; and women can not
bear that those they love should run
the risk of either. Wherefore their
boys are modest and virtuous, truly, but
they are not manly; and when they go
out into the world, as they must, sooner
or later, they are laughed at for their
priggishness or they go to the bad by
the very force of reaction. The mother
has allowed them to learn nothing that
will be of any use to them, and they
enter the great arena wholly unpre-
pared either to fight or to resist, to push
their own way, or TO take their own
part They have been kept tied to the
apron string until the last moment, and
only when absolutely forced by the
necessity of events, will she cut the
knot and let them go free.
Even when the time comes for col
lege life, she often goes with her dar-
ling and takes lodgings in town, that
she may be near at hand to watch over
his health and morals, and continue
her careful labors for his dcstruction The
chances are that youth so brought UP
never becomes a real man, or worth his
salt anyhow. He is prig If he is good,
n debauchee of the worst kind, if he
kicks over the traces at all; he is es-
scntially domestic man, at case only
in the society of women; fussy man,
delicate in health, and with dread of
strong measures, physical, political or
mental; a crotchety man, but not n man
fit for mans society, or for mans
work.
When there are many boys, instead
OF only one, in widows family, the
opposite of this is the case AS soon as
they escape from the nursery, they es-
cape from all control, whatsoever; and
II one wants to realize puerile pan
demonium of dirt, discomfort, noise
and general disorganization, the best
place in the world is the household of
feeble spirited mother of many sons,
where there is no controlling masculine
iniluence.-London Saturday Rcvicw.

HEAT IN EoUNpRIES.

Men working beside Furnaces Bettcr ON
Than Pedestrians on the Streets.
How the men employed in iron foun-
dries and other places where big fires
and blast furnaces are in constant
operation manage to stand the heat is
mystery to all but the initiated. In
the melting-room at the United States
mint the thermometer showed LOG de-
grees, Mt the gas works fire-room at
Twenty-third and Market streets the
mercury climbed to 11S degrees, and
In front OF the blast furnaces at the
Baldwin locomotive works 115 degrees
were registered. In all these places
the men wore barely enough clothing
tocover their nakedness. A man en-
ployed at the last named place told
reporter that he did not feel the heat
any more than did those who were
walking about the streets, but he could
not explain why this WIS the case. A
subsequent interview with the weather
man threw some light on the matter
"The whole point is," said he, THAT
these men are not reached by the hui
midity. They are working in places
wherc the artificial heat is so intense
as to drive out the humidity, and 1lS
degrees Of heat in pure, dry air is not
felt so much as mixture of 80 degrees
OF heat and eighty per cent. humidity
that tells on people and sorcly tries
their vitality. The humidity is tho
moisture in the air. When it is very
intense it prevents the perspiration
from passing out through the pores,
and its pressure on the flesh is very ex-
hausting and the confinement of the
perspiration exceedingly unhealthy.
Although most people do not know it,
they would be cooler while sitting be-
side rcd-hot stove than they would be
in the street on very hot day.-Rita-

PANIC-STRICKEN PUPILS.
Fire Causes a Stampede in a st.
Louis School.


!. ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Nov. 2s.-A panic oc-
CURED at the Blair school to-day and
nothing but the great presence of mind
of the corps of teachers prevented great
loss of life. The steam heating appar-
atus got out of order and the rattling
in the coils, coupled with escaping
steam, alarmed the children, who, fear
ing the explosion, started for the door.
Miss Bettina krebS, the teacher in
charge, got to the door first and pre-
vented stampede. Scarcely had order
been restored, however, when the noise
in the steam pipes was repeated with
increasing violence and before Miss
Krebs could reach the door second time
the terror-stricken children had gained
the hall. The faithful teacher was
borne to the floor and trampled upon,
sustaining serious injuries. The eX-
citement spread to Room No. 10, just
opposite, presided over by Miss Clara
Sickle, and the children became un-
manageable there. The shuff1ing of
feet and Kissing of escaping steam
spread the panic to Room No. IA, Miss
Mary p. Miller, and she, too, was
thrown from her feet and trampled
upon. The janitor appeared upon the
scene and did rough, but heroic work in
preventing the children from tramp
ing each other to death. A pupil in
Room No. 5, raised the cry of fire, and
the pupils made a rush for the hall.
Miss Cullen, the teacher, with COM
mendable presence of mind and heroic
efforts quelled the disturbance, and in
brief period order was restored. Two
of the teachers, Miss Miller and Miss
Krebs, were badly injured by being
trampled upon. Seven pupils were in
iured: Birdie Weakened, badly
trampled upon, she had to be removed
in an ambulance; Annie Dodge, severe
internal injuries and external bruises:
Annie Meyers, head badly gashed on
stone steps; Emma Delondorf, left arm
broken; Ruth Reilly, serious internal
injuries; Ida Klostermeyer, Australia
iStroche and Elsie McBridge, badly
bruised, but not seriously injured. The
panic created intense excitement and
many parents hurried to the school
building to look after their children.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The effects of
the Mcmahon episode are being con-
tinually felt among the Catholic clergy
of this diocese. DR.. BurtselPs testi-
mony in the Mcguire burial case, which
will probably cause him to be sum-
moned to Rome, is hardly out of mind,
when to-day the trouble breaks out in
another quarter. 1t appears that the
venerable priest Sylvester Malone, of
SIS. Peter and Paul's church, Brook
lyn, who was to have oficiated at the
wedding of two young personal friends
of his in New York, received an order
from Archbishop Corrigan, on the
eve of the wedding. that he would
not be allowed to perform any
priestly functions in this diocese
until he apologiZed to the archbishop.
The subject Of the desired apology was
not stated. but it is we'll understood that
Father Malone'S expression of sympa-
thy with Dr.. McGlynn at the time of
the latter's rupture with the archbishop
is the cause of the present difficulty.
The marriage ceremony was performed
by MonsignOr Ducey. The wedding was
that of Eugene Varet and Annie Berry,
the bride being member of an old
Brooklyn family, who have been under
Father Malone's administration nearly
fifty wears. The members of Father
MalOne's church are said to be much
agitated over the matter.
