FATHER DAMIEy's SUCCESSOR.
The Noble Work of seIf-Sacrifice Among

The Noble Work of self-Sacrifice Among
the Lepers Will Go On.
London Figaro: Ii is most satisfactory
10 learn that there Is no danger of the work
of Father Damien being neglected. Three
years before the devoted Damien died be
had been joined by Father Conrady. whc.
like Damien, is Belgian priest He was
ordained for the mission of Oregon, and
worked there for several years until the
self-sacTince of his cOuntryman prompted
him TO emulate his deeds He was very
popular in Oreg0r, and many efforts were
ma ie to dissuade tim from his purpose.
At kalawOa, wheIc Father Damien died
and Father C0nrsdy IahOrs, there are yet
n ass stEnts, but at a place called kakatoo,
az out a uile from the business part of Hon
olulu, there is a branch hospital, originally
intended TO be place where persons sus-
pected of being leprOus were to be kept for
examination. This hospital is in charge Of
seven Sisters of Charity, who left Syracuse,
Y Y, in 1888 Owing 10 the burden i'm
posed on Father Damis n, they have lately
taken charge of the female patients, and in
the branch hospital there are cases as bad
as any in Kslawoa.

Belgian Roman Catholic priest, Father
Wsndolin Moellers. is on his way to Molo-
kai to assist Father Conrady. Writing 10
one of his friends, Father COnrady says:
"If l become a leper, the good st. Peter,
no doubt, will let me pass all the easier
when my hour comes. Sometimes, when
am kneeling by the side of poor leper.
from whom exhales an Odor that would put
the most courageous 10 flight, / think l
am doing little of my purgstory. What
do you think Regularly every week
a small steamer makes its appearance
here and very early in the morning an
nOunces by the loud blowing of its whistle
that Iepers have been landed. Then those
who can hurry to the shore. Often we tind
our newcomers soaking wet through. Now
again begin the cries and tears, for one
sees here the meeting again of a husband
and wife. or a wife seeing her husband
among them; sometimes q child seeing its
father or mother. They take the names Of
the new arrivals, and every one sets out to
find a lodging. Although / am not q leper,
1 could not leave here to go TO any other of
of these islands without a proper certih
cate from the board of health. But l have
no wish TO go anywhere. NY mission is
here and here I'll remain"
Thus the spirit which animated Damien
inspires his successor, and there is every
reason to anticipate that Father CoDrardy,
who is only IS years of age, will be as
truly the apostle of the lepers as his heroic
predecessor was.

Payne had done they debated what /

Study Of the Wire-WOrm.


Notwithstanding the extensive injuries
caused by these insects and the general
distribution of the species comparatively
little study has been devoted to their hab-
its. Many species of the beetles that lay
the eggs from which wire-worms are
Matched have been described; but only a
few entomologists have cared to study the
Larvae. This is perhaps due, in a GER
tain degree, to the difficulties attending
the subject. The larv;e live out of sight
in the ground; and, in some cases
at least, it requires several years to
complete their growth The eggs from
which they hatch are exceedingly diff
cult to discover. and almost nothing is
known about them, or the method of owl
position of the beetles. Taking these facts
into consideration, one can hope to obtain
a clear idea of the habits of even our most
common species only by making very care
full observations and continuing them
through long period of time.
The first chronological investigation I'M
dertaken by this stNtiOn was the study of
certain species of these insects infesting
crops on the university farm. 1t VIII
doutless be several years before this study
can be completed; but already results have
been obtained which are of considerable
practical Importance. AS these indicate a
method of preventing the ravages of wire
worms. it seems desirable to publish them
now. instead of waiting for the completion
of the investigation.

Farmers and the Credit System.

Prairie Farmer.
1t is easier to go in debt than to pay ont.
The farmer who makes habit OF buying
on credit will buy more than If he paid tire
cash as he purchased. For this reason mer-
chants rather encourage the credit system.
They get to sell more goods. But the pur-
chaser pays more, because in selling on
credit the merchant must add per cent. to
travagance. and while the farmer may live
better than if he paid cash, it may not al
ways be good management. The merchants
think it is to their interests to encourage
the credit system among the better class
for the reason that they can sell more goods.
and at a better profit. But in this direc-
ton, at least, what is the merchants inter-
est is against the farmer. -.
To considerable extent. at least, it is to
the interest of the farmer to trade with the
country merchant for two reaso Ms. One is
convenience. 1t is quite an item to have q
good stock of merchandise kept in q neigh
bOrhood whore things can be bought as
needed; while in building up the smaller
towns the number of new producers is in
creased, and this increases the demand for
farm products.
There are times when going in debt may
be a benefit. but, as rule. 1T is to the farm
however he should receive the benefit of
the cash discount. The merchant gets his
goods at certain price on thirty. sixty or
ninety days credit; if he pays cash within
ten DAYS ne gets OIScount. No IaIHeI
who pays cash ought to get the benefit of
this discount when he pays the cash. In
many cases this would prove a sufficient in
ducement for the farmer to pay the cash.
1t is not altogether the farmers fault that
the credit system has become so general.
for to a certain extent. at least. the plan is
encouraged by the merchant, because he
thinks it is for his interest. But. finan-
cially at least, it will be for the interest of
the farmer to pay cash, and especially so
with his store bills, over and above what
he cannot pay with produce.
