A Great Railroad.

Not long ago Mr. George H. Daniels, the
general passenger agent of the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad, IN ex-
tending an invitation to foreigners 10 visit
this country, directed their attention TO
the fact that the United States Of
America Is the greatest country on
earth, peopled with sixty million of the
most civilized and enterprising people on
the globe; that the New York Central
Railroad is the greatest railroad on
earth-the only four-track road in he
world; that it started from the largest city
on the continent, passed through the rich
est and most prosperous region, touching
the largest cities IN the interior; is the
great trunk line and direct route TO that
great cataract, Niagara Falls, and that in
all respects it reveals more Of the resources
and riches of America in less time, with
more safety and under more luxurious con-
ditiOns than any other route. There
Is much in the above not only for
foreigners, who want to see this country
under favorable conditions, but for our own
restless and moving people. The New
York Central q Hudson River Railroad IS
the outgrowth of a luxurious and prosper
Gus civilization and one of its greatest en-
cheering triumphs. As is well known it
is the only line from the west TO New York
that lands its passengers IN that city
without ferrying them across the North
River. Its spacious and magnificent
station in the heart of the city has
been for years not only the pride of
New York, but lasting monument TO the
foresighted liberality and enterprise of that
great organizer and founder of the New
York Central a. Hudson River Railroad sys-
tenn, Commodore Vanderbilt. The limited
trains OF this line are the finest in the
world, and its general accommodations for
the travelling public are only known and APP
preciated by that large portion OF it who
have been over the line and enjoyed them.

THE wIRE-woRM PEST.
How to Operate ON the Beetles by Means
of Trapping.


of Trapping
There are insects which, because Of
their wide distribution and the great
variety of plants which they attack.
are especially obnoxious TO farmers.
Prominent among these are wire
worms. They occur in all parts of
the country and infest all cultivated
fields; they are difficult to catch and
destroy because they work beneath
the surface Of the ground. They are
liable 10 attack plants when they are
most susceptible 70 injury-when they
are quite young and unable TO with
stand any attacks Sometimes seeds
are destroyed before termination. and
the injury to cornfelds is very great.
Wire-worms are the Larvae OF beetles.
upon which the war of determination
must be waged. Prof. J. H. Comstock
of the Cornell University Agricultural
Experiment Station. has been making
study Of the prevention of the ravages
Of the wire-worrn. and progress is re-
ported ia the third bulletin OF the sta
ton.
It IS belle we'd to be difficult matter
to treat the worms themselves. because
Of being buried beneath the soil and
inaccessible to direct treatment; but
experiments that are 70 be sti further
pursued show that the beetles can be
operated on by trapping. Il is found
that several substances viii attract
them. clover being the most success
fuss sweetened meal dough comes next
in order then unsweetened dough and
potatoes. The beetles fy both night
and day, but are more active by night
than by day. and seek their food prin-

the ground; so If clover i dipped in

A Neat Invention.

Progress, for which the nineteenth CEN
fury has been more than remarkable, has In
Its gigantic strides reached even the play
thing of the crazy King Charles the First,
the playing card.
A gentleman OF this city, whose name,
by request, is withheld, has patented II
playing card, the corners of which are cut
to an angle OF less than 80 degrees, thereby
changing the centre Of gravity Of the cards
and causing them, when being gathered up
for a shuttle, to always fall horizontally, or
on the long side, instantly, thus avoiding
the nuisance of turning down separately
those cards that In such cases persist in
standing up on end,
1t is certainly a neat idea, and works
perfectly The cards will be placed on the
marketyery shortly.
