A NEW INSECT PEST.
Massachusetts Farmers Preparing
to Fight the GYPSY Moth.

A special despatch from Boston says
Massachusetts farmers are filed with alarm
over the reported rayages of a newly-f0uDd
insect pest which an Amherst College bug
sharp says may become widespread through
the country and may cause more havoc than
the cell brated Colorado potato beetle. This
is the gypsy moth, known to eDtomologsts
as the Ocuerid dispdr. At present it Is con.
fined to the neighbUrhood OF Medford, where
it caused so much damage that Gov. Bracket
in his message the other day saw 1T TO call
the attention OF agricuturiSts TO the pest and
recommended its spec y extermination.
1.-The moth was introduced here twenty
years ago by DIR. l. TrOuvelot, WHO saw the
eggs at the Paris Exposition and put few
in his vest pocket. One day the little bunch
of eggs was blown out of hi window in Med
ford and never heard from until last fall
when millions of the gypsy moths attacked
shade and fruit trees and shrubbery, leaving
nothing save twigs and stalks behind. The
area thus devastated was an ellipse mile
| and half long and half a mile wide.
professor Fernald, OF the Amherst Agri
| cultural College, says the moth Is terrible
| pest. The Harvard authority on bugs ano
millsrs, Professor Hargin, on the other hand
says his Amherst contemporary doesn
know what he is talking about. The Har
ward expert asserts that the gypsy motn Il
not alarmingly destructive.

Minnesota and Maine,


To the Editor of the Press:
The question is asked 'can man do better
in the West than in Maine?" / will limit it
little by taking Minnesota.
Theoretically he can, but practically he
cannot. That man formerly could do better
10 Minnesota than in Maine with proper
judgment and foresight have no reason to
doubt. But now Minnesota has passed
its border life era, and having got beyond
the designation of the "frontler" with its
money making characteristics. Minnesota
has taken on much of the business condition
of the old east. And while there is still here
and there boom the same Is so everywhere
While there Is quite building up now and
then, business goes slower, and its no use
talking. hard times are felt as much, and as
often in Minnesota as elsewhere. Right in
the midst even of the rival cities of the plain,
we find hard times. And in vain do ST. Paul
and minneapolis strive to hide the fact This
fact Is often painfully apparent to the laborer
seeking for employment in Minneapolis or
st. Paul. If anything, it is worse there
than in New England because in Min
neSota there is not so much manufacture
ing nor so many varied and various occupa-,
ton. A man locking for work has the widest
range in New England among the multi
farious lines of business. So l would advise
no man to go west expecting large, quick
gains, unless perchance he finds them in the
far west where the country is newer aud
where as consequence more privatiOn
awaits him. If you desire to find the most
profuse boom of mushrooms, which is not
saying much probably, do not stop short of
Washington Territory.
In Minnesota. the farmers gets large crops
but prices dwindle in proportion to their
"largeness," and, according to my observa-
ton, the farmer in Maine, does better selling
his apples at ST. 90 per Dbl or potatoes for
30 cents bushel, than does the Minnesota
farmer selling his larger crop of wheat at
SO cents per bushel which is all average price.
The farmers in Minnesota told me that if
they could have S1.OO per bushel for their
wheat they would only be getting good fair
thing out of it, As it is, they manage to get
a living. but often find it slow work MEETING
their grocery bills, as the books in almost
any grOcery-store will testify.
There is an enormous credit business done
there, and it betrays a weak condition Of
affairs, and gives evidence that the 'boom~"
in business do but little for the common
people A. p. REED.

OUR BOYS.
Egg Spinning.

here is queer fact about eggs, and our
boys will be sure to wish to try experiment.
Take two eggs, one raw, the other hard
boiled, and suspend them by wires from
gas fixture or other support, their long axes
being vertical. Then, II they are gently
turned around once or twice. 1t will be found
that, while the boiled egg continues to turn,
the raw one comes Immediately to rest.
This difference Is owing to the fact that the
boiled egg is solid body and the whole egg
turns; while the raw egg Is fluid contained
in SHE'LL and the shell alone is turned by
the twisting of the wire, the mud remaining
stationary.
Sir William Thompson, who devised this
and the following experiments, uses IL as one
of the proofs that the earth is solid body
and not, as some have supposed, thin crust
OF rock surrounding huld or "pasty
nucleus" In that case, he says, "the OBJ
served swinging and swuying motions of the
earth's axis in procession and mutation would
be impossible
The same phenomenon is shown in the fol-
lowing experiment, though in in a directly
opposite way. Take the two eggs and spin
them rapidly on their sides on mirror or
other perfectly smooth surface. IL you put
the palm Of your hand gently upon the boiled
egg while it is spinning, it, of course, ceases
to move, and remains m0ti0nless after you
have lifted your hand.
But il YOU do the same with the raw egg, 1t
will Immediately begin TO SPIN again when
| the hand Is removed lnueeo, IL Is extraordl-
nary how long you can hold your hand upon
| it without destroying its notion The rea-
| son of this is no doubt apparent The auid
| within the shell continues 10 revolve, though
| the shell IS stationary, while IN the other
| ease the v hole egg is stopped.
If you int nd to spin the pggS. on the mir
| ror like a top, you will find that the bnled
egg will spin for a considerable time, but the
other will fall almost immediately on its side.
"Prof MendrnhaIl has remarked that this
| experiment furnishes a solution OF Columbus
| prOblem-how to make an egg stand on end
first boil the egg hard, and then spin It,"
How To Bind Books.
With the close of the the year most of the
magazines and papers end their volumes,
and with the last number OF the volume,
especially with the magazines, come ar index
for the same. This enables one to bind up
his favuri,e periodical into nice book,
The process l am about to describe Is a very
easy one to carry out. and by following its
dlrec ions "Our ho,s" can bind the numbers
of their favorlte magazine at very little

1t handy to have a piece of loose inch
board, to lay on the bottom of the frame II
brings the work to more conve lent height
from the table, and Is of use In other ways
which will appear further on. Round this
board it is well to wrap a piece of vast
paper, and upon it the first end paper is laid
with its folds against the tapes. As to sewing
materials, am cOntented with large CON-
mon needle, and stout and smooth ordinary
thread, such as l can-as well as the tape
get for the asking from the female
members of my household. To facilitate
explanation OF the sewing process, | have
marked with B and +, respectively the back
and front of the frame. Fig. /; and in Fig.
have endeavored to show that process. In
this also | have drawn three tapes; this is
for the sake of simplicity. but there are few
magazines to which should, in practice, put
less than four work with the right ham
in front, and the left at the back of the tapes
Taking the needle in the left, / pass it
through the middle Of tho tape A Zig. p
and through the end paper, ID. The right
hand which is within this paper, takes the
needle and passes it out again just before the
tape, B, is reached. Past that tape, 1t Is
again pushed to the front by the left hand.
and the right once more pushes 1t to the back
just before the tape G. That done. lay the
first true sheet of the book on the end paper,
and return the needle to the front through IL
just beyond G; and so work on Backward
and forwards till the whole volume is sewn.
1t will be noted that the thread does not
pass through the tape after the first stitch
In every other instant 1t only passes behind
the tapes, and so loops the sheets to them.

as we'll as with their prosperity. 1t keeps
them in state of anxiety, discourages them
from making small improvements for their
own convenience, and deters them from
planting vines and bushes that would pro-
duce fruit for their families.
There are few opportunities for the own
ers or occupiers Of farms in the prairie re-
giens Of the West to engage In remunerative
employment during the winter. They can
not employ their time in fishing, as many
farmers do who live near the sea coast.
There are no ice houses to be filled. There
Is no lumber to be cut and drawn to place
of shipment. There is no wood to be
chopped and hauled to market. Little heavy
teamiDg can be done during the winter, as
there Is not sufficient snow to permit the use
Of sleds, while the condition of the roads is
such that large loads cannot be drawn on
wagons.
Poor people who have always lived In the
city would keenly feel the loss of many aids.
comior and privileges on being transported
to the country. They would find school
houses and churches. though the distance
between them might be long. They would
be the recipients of many nrighborly kind
nesses. Tender hearts would sympathize
with them in affection. Kind hands would
minister to them in sickness, and no hired
funeral director with his assistants would be
called in for the purpose of placing them in
heir graves. But they would find no free
libraries, reading rooms. dispensaries, hos
pitfalls, or asylums.
1.-THE pleasures of the country, like the
joys of Heaven, are presented to the poor
and wretched in over-populated cities by
o"rsons rich In faith but destitute of knowl-
edge. They think that any change would be
for the better. They do not know that life
in tenement house, located on an alley, is,
after all, preferable to existence In a dug-out
which is seldom passed by man. The fire.

other paper in Maine gives so much general,
local and county news. together with such
full and able market and marine reports for
so low price. Subscribers wishing a daily

Leadin 9 Republican journal Of Maine
TWinthrOn Midget

We have for long time considered the
Portland Press one of the best of the Maine
dailies, and in some respects the best of them
all-personally tits our favorite newspaper,
Herald. 1t Is, beyond question, the leading
Republican journal Of Maine, and on tina t
account alone entitled to the support of all
OF that way of thinking. Although positive
in its Republicanism, it is as little tainted
with partisan prejudice as any paper in
either party we are acquainted with. AS
newspaper it compares favorably with the
great metropolitan dailies, and covers its own
field quite as a. we'll as they do. To all of our
readers who want high toned, conservative
daily, we cordially Commend the Press. and
guarantee that 1t will fill the bill every time.
