Cures for Rose Bugs.
From the AmericaM Agricultaoist.

4JOHt ~ tWtCf ttttW ny 81 W. tot .
The, rose bug is a hard insect to
fight, and we have had no practical
occasion to experiment with it in the
work of the Botanical Division of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The old method was to knock
the insect from the foliage or fruit
into a pan of kerosene and water.
This, however, is very slow work and
not practicable on a large scale. At
River Edge, N. j., they found last sea-
son that a mixture of pyrethrum and
water made a very excellent liquid to
spray upon the vines. 1t destroyed all
Of the insects which it touched and
seemed also to have a preventive ac-
ton. The proper proportions can only
be obtained by further experiment..
Colonel Pearson, of New Jersey, has
also found that the original fungicide
mixture of sulphide of copper and
lime and water sprayed upon grape
vines has both a poisoning and deter
ring effect upon the 5 bug. This in
sect is one which ! hope to have a
good series of experiments made upon
with a view of determining just what
is best to be done.

degree of favor, But simply "a letter or
combination of letters stamped IN
color or in silver or gold isa pref
tier device; these letters are usually
placed across the upper left hand 0 T
ner of the sheet and are not seer ON
the envelope, which should be sealed
with wax. A very sensible custom
has come into vogue of having the
name of street and number Of house at
the top of the paper.
The question is often asked ii the
use of perfumed paper is allowable.
There can be no objection to it in
social notes, but the odor should be of
the most delicate nature. A faint
touch of orris is perhaps best, and
heliotrope or violet is pleasant, u
the heavier odors, al musk or
patchouli, are very vulgar in the ex-
treme.

to consider that the changes are mol
much more mischievous than would
occur in the natural course OF events
in consequence of deaths, resigna-
tions, expirations Of terms, removals
for cause and similar reasons.
Nj. Wanamaker explained the ac
ton of the department, in the case OF
several removals which had been crit
icised, by saying that many petitions'
numerousIy signed, had been received,
asking for a change. He did not, how
ever, say anything about the removal
of Postmaster Kelly, of Jersey City. 80
far as is known, no petitions asking for
Mr.. Kelly's removal have been signed
except by Republicans who wanted to
gain possession of the Office for party
purposes. Mr.. Wanamaker slso said
that many removals had been made
on charges which were suppressed
out of consideration for the victim.
But in the case of Mr.. Kelly, we have
the word of Colonel Dickinson him
self al to the high state of efficiency in
which he found the service in the Jer-
sey City office.
Mr.. Wanamaker said nothing at all
about the appointment of Paul Van
dervoort to a high Office in the Rail
way Mail service, Notwithstanding the
fact that Vandervoort had been dis
missed on charges of the utmost gray
ity by Mr.. Wanamaker's Republican
predecessor, Judge Gresham.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Wanamaker
made q mistake when he permitted
himself to be persuaded by Colonel
Shepard's silver tongue to go into
print. His case was bad enough; but
to attempt to defend it by silence in
regard to the most indefensible acts
is equivalent to a plea of guilty.

man How to Cook.
From the american Agriculturist.
Long, long ago, in the time OF the
Shang dynasty, 1900 years before
Christ, there lived in the Province OF
Shansi a most wonderful sorcerer
named Chao. To this dealer in mys-
teries there came, therefore, one day,
a MI. P'ang to consult the oracle; and
Chao having OWNED, by means OF a
tortoise shell diagram, informed INN
that he had but six days more to live.
Naturally Mr.. P'ang was much dls,
mayed, and in his distress he resorted
to the fair Peachblossom, a young
lady who had also acquired a reputa-
tion as a sorceress. Her d1vinatlon
yielded the same result as Chaos
in six days P'ang must
leave this world, unless she
could avert the catastrophe by her
magical powers. However, she gave
the poor man a little hope by promis-
ing to attempt his rescue; and for
tunately she was successful, SO that ON
the seventh day after, Chao was con-
sumed with astonishment, mortifica-
ton and rage when he met P'ang tax
ing his evening stroll as hale and
hearty as ever, and learned that there
was a greater magician in Shansi than
himself. He felt sure his reputation
would be ruined unless he could get
rid of his rival, so he at once began to
plot against her life. First he sent
a go-between to Peaehblossom's
| parents to enquire if she was
still unmarried. The answer was
in the affirmative, at which h
| willy sorcerer befooled the father and
mother into believing that he had a
son who desired a wife, and ultimately
induced them to engage Peachblossom
to this mythical youth in marriage.
The wedding cards were interchanged,
but the crafty Chao selected the most
| unlucky day possible for the cere-
mony-aday when the Golden Pleas
ant" was in the ascendant; for he
knew that then, as surely as the bride
entered the red chair, in which she
was to be conveyed to meet her hus-
band, the spirit bird would destroy
| her.
But he reckoned without his host,
| for the wise Peachblossom knew this
as well as he and feared not. Il will
| 60" she said; 81 will fight and defeat
| him. When the wedding morn came,
then she ordered that a quantity of
rice be thrown out before her door;
which was done. This the Golden
Pheasant saw and fastened to enjoy,
and while his attention was occupied
in picking up the snowy grains the
fair Peachblossom stepped into her
bridal chair and passed on her way
unframed.
And this, then, according to the
Mongolians, is why we still throw rice
after the bride.

The b schools.

In the next two days q series of
events will take place in which all
Jersey City is deeply interested.
These are the commandments in the
public schools. Not only will they be
worth seeing because they will COM
memorate the elimination of a princi-
Pile which has always been regarded as
one of the most important in the Amer
lean system of government. namely free
education for all, but the exercises
will be very well worth seeing for
themselves. Very elaborate pro-
grammes have been prepared in some
of the public schools, as was seen in
the account of the arrangements
given in THE JERSEY CRY NEWS
yesterday, and in addition to this the
exercises will be carried out by actors
in all the brightness and freshness of
youth.
There is one unpleasant reflection
which will occur to many at the sight
of the crowded schools, and the happy
Ihc6S Ol tll6 cIlluT6u, duu budu Is btldb
the schools are ov~ercrowded; that
many children, thousands in fact,
have been unable to enjoy
the benefits of the public
schools. simply because there
was not room enough for them; that
many other children were able to get
only half a years education for the
same reason, it being necessary to re-
ceive half the children in the school
in the morning and the other half in
the afternoon.
To such as indulge in such refiec-
tions, the statements made by Mayor
Cleveland in the interview printed in
THE SUNDAY MORNING News will be
good news. Under the new charter,
provision is made for building new
schools, and already the various dis
tricts are urging their claims to the
new school building.
1t seems safe to predict that next
year commencement exercises will be
held in an entirely new school build
ing.

An old fashioned housewife in a
Clifton, Pa, farmhouse will never per-
NIT her husband to be without at
least one black sheep in his flock. She
has got a notion that it is not healthy
to wear stockings with any kind of
dye in the wool, and, as she dislikes to
wear white hosiery, all her stockings
are made out of natural black wool.
She cards the wool into rolls by hand,
just as people did three or four gener.
ations ago, spins the rolls herself, and
knits her own stockings. Once a tree
fell on her only black sheep and killed
it, and her husband had to hustle
around and find another. 1t took him
three days and miles of travel, but he
finally came across a black eve lamb
fifteen miles away and bought it.

'Give me quarters for the night"
Till at last my pleadings reached him
And he folded me from sight.

Deep colors are always out of taste,

one choice which is always safe; the
