Getting Eveus

When the "Tin Soldier" was done in Chicago for the first time I played the plumber. Eugene Field was present and seemed to enjoy the performance i'm mensely. Next day he gave the piece very hattering criticism, and said that all the people played their parts well with a single exception. The actor who played the plumber seemed to have no conception of what the author intended. I had to good naturedly take the general laugh at my expense and foot up the bill for numerous smiles" whose combined frequency was sufficient to make a very respectable laugh. determined to get back at Field. He is as we'll known and as familiar figure In Chicago as Col. Ochiltree is in New York. On the follow ing evening had him occupy a box at the theatre. In one of my scenes took a copy of The News, and advancing to the front, pretcnded to read. "Gen. Fields Sharps and Flats" said, as If just com ing to the column of his bright exploita- tions. Then, with a broad smile, I apparently continued reading. After a while the smile gradually faded. and was succeeded by an expression of positive pain. The paper was thrown to the floor. and, with very tired expression, I threw back the lapel of my coat and rang chestnut bell. The chestnut bell was something new in Chicago then, and the tssis piece os business went tremen- dously. Fields box was so situated that he could not withdraw from the view oi the house, and he had to take the laugh like a good fellow.

Cabbage Plant Lice.

In a recent bulletin of the New Jersey Station, Entomologist Hulot writes:
 We have found no remedies which we regard as thoroughly effective. The in sects generally live on the under side of the leaves, and the secretion covering their bodies causes liquids to pass over them without wetting. Pyrethrum pow der, dusted with hand bellows, has been found efficacious, as it reaches a far greater number than the sprinkled in- secticides. Hot water, pyrethrum water and the kerosene emulsion have all done fairly we'll We think if any of these were freely used as the plant lice begin to be common, it would so thin their numbers that any great evil would be averted. The plant lice do not eat the leaves, but live by drawing the sap of the plant through the proboscis. This is thrust through the skin of the plant. Arsenical poisons can, therefore, be of no avail for destroying them.

No town that was ever started, lived

No town that WAS ever started, lived and prospered on bickerings within it. self on public measures. The first thing for community to do is to thoroughly discuss public improve ments and enterprises, and the second and vital thing to do is to stand by the measures adopted, to lend will ing and strong hand 10 their prome- ton. No community ever prospered in any enterprise or succeeded in ac- compiishing single thing of value to any one, where different parties are arrayed against each other, and that too, on no grounds whatever but from a mere desire to be the big toad in the puddle, a motive that no business man would permit to interfere with his duty to himself and the communi- ty, for a moment. There are matters now pending concerning this city and the valley, of such importance that no good citizen can afford to stand off with his hands in his pockets, much less can he afford to put a stone in the way, for he puts 1t in his own way. The proper encouragem will bring to us new and important industries, if encouragement be given. A smelter, or at least sampling works, an iron foundry, sugar mill and more rail- roads, are all enterprises now in sight and which are certain to come along early with a little encouragement 1; they will never come unless the peo- pie of this valley are thoroughly agreed that they shall come and are willing to back up that agreement with reasonable effort to secure such nterprises-Phenix Herald.

 Jack was one of the train of mules with which the earl of Dunraven made an excursion in the Yellowstone park few years ago. It is not often that mule gets so good character from his master as Jack receives, but it was well earned.
 Jack would ascertain, by some means best known to himself, the exact width of his pack. and would measure his dis ming through apertures that looked far too narrow for him. but never striking or getting iamrned. He had some extra ordinary method also of determining the height of his pack, and could tell pre- cisely whether he could pass under an overhanging bough without stopping, and, if not, how much he would have to stoop.
 If necessary, without pausing for a moment in his trot. he would double down until his belly almost touched the ground. and wriggIe himself through under fallen tree in the most ludicrous manner.
 It is no easy task for man, even though he be accustomed to the noun tains and the forests. to make his way through the matted labyrinth of these primeval woods; but through such places, if they were practicable at all. Jack would run, jump, climb or crawl, picking his way without pause.
 His faculty of stepping under branches, though very useful at times, was incon- yenient when he was required as riding animal He would forget for moment that he had not tall pack upon his back. and in passing under some leaning tree, to avoid which the rider would merely stoop his head, not expecting fol a moment that the mule would stooI also, down he would go. and with g twist and wriggle of his body writhe himself under the supposed obstacle much to his riders surprise and discom fort.-Youths Companion.

The Oil Cartridges.

The power which petroleum exerts in calming the surface of troubled, even tempestuous ocean, is conceded by the most conservative navigators. However efficient petroleum may be in rousing a storm on land and generating a cyclone in every oil exchange of the United States, on the briny deep its influence is wholly fn the direction of peace and quietness and restfulness. It lulls King Neptune's stormiest moods, and a few gallons have brought gallant ships safely through watery connections that threat sned them with sure submerging. Here tofore simple throwing or dripping of oil from the ship has been the method pursued. Now Yankee inventor has patented an oil cartridge, which, fired from a gun, projects the oil far In ad- vance of the vessel and thereby stills the waves before the ship. By means of these cartridges, it is claimed that a serene path an eighth of mile wide can be made through the heaviest seas. Those that go down to the sea in ships owe much to the memory of Col. Drake, of Pennsylvania.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS FOR SHIPMENT
The Best Packing Materials for Fruits ar
 Cut Flowers of Living Plants.

The Best Packing Materials for Fruits and
 Cut Flowers of Living Plants.
 English gardeners and florists have al- ready begun their protests against the use of cotton as packing for fresh flow CTS and fruits. Many of our horticultur- ists have found from experience that as packing material for cut flowers or liv- ing plants, cuttings, scions, etc., cotton is the very worst if employed in imme- diate contact with vegetable tissues. Flowers swathed in dry cotton wool ar- rive limp and more or less blackened, while peaches have their beauty and freshness destroyed by this substance.
 If fruits are wrapped up each separate y in tissue paper, the cotton may then be used with advantage as a soft padding, but if it comes into immediate contact with either flowers or fruit, they are al ways more or less damaged by 1t. The rule to observe in using cotton wool is to wrap everything in paper before using it. It is most useful in packing fruits if this rule be observed, but for flowers and living plants and cuttings of all kinds, fresh, clean wood moss is infinitely bet ter in all ways.
 A florist who has had large experience in sending cut flowers by post and mail thinks that the main secret to success is to pack them firmly and yet have some elasticity in the packing. His mode of procedure we give in his own words:
 ''I first lay slight substratum of moss, with mere suspicion of dampness in it; then on theitop of this piece of waxed paper, on which the flowers are carefully placed and packed. The box being quite full, l place another piece of waxed paper, and over this (here is my secret) a piece of the corrugated brown paper so much in use now for sending bottles. It is very elastic and very cheap, keeps everything snug, with the least possible pressure. 1 have found nothing to beat this. and I have the authority of one of our first nurserymen for saying it is the best packing he ever saw. In the case of such flowers as gladioh, narcissi and such like find it is better to put neither moss, nor wool, nor any other packing, but I send them in shallow boxes, and lay them in layers at the bottom; take a strip of strong paper or ribbon, draw it tightly over the stalks and tack it to the bottom of the box; they are immovable. It may be said all this is troublesome and tedious, but if flowers are worth sending at all they are worth sending well"
