Reports from the farming districts OF
New Jersey speak of the presence of an
unusually large number OF destructive
insects this year. Tue wheat louise is
expected to be particularly dangerous.
There seems to be no alternative for the
farmers but to provide themselves with
field force pumps, as not only fruit trees
and potatoes, melons, cucnmbers, egg
plants and cabbages need spraying, but
also the growing grain.

THERE is but one conclusion TO be
drawn from the facts brought out before
the Legislative Investigating Committee,
and that is, that both Governor Jackson
and Comptroller Baughman have shown
Ia culpable disregard of the States inter
ssts in the careless administration of
Aeir Official duties. They have not
sy failed to comply with plain consti-
kpatrequirements relative to the ex,

it also appears that MIR, Archer acted as

voted tor and 50 against revision. Adding
to the negative vote tine five non-acting
Presbyteries, the vote will stand 1913 to
20 i'll favor of revision. II, therefore, the
General Assembly should decide that
two thirds of the Presbyteries must ask
Tor revision, and If tha vote of the re
naming PresbyF cries should not change
tbe present ratio, then there will be no
revision. For the present vote in favor
OF revision is just a little less than two

NOVEL, Uses FOR OLD PA PERS.

Most housekeepers know how in
valuable newspapers are for packing
away winter clothing, the printing
ink acting a : defiance to the stout
est moth as successfully as camphor
or tar-paper For this reason news
papers are invaluable under the car
pet, laid over the regular carpet-pa-
per. The most valuable quality OF
newspapers i'll the kitchen, however,
is their ability to keep out the air.
1t is well known that ice completely
enveloped in newspapers, SO that all
air is shut out, will keep a longer
time than under other conditions,
and that pitcher of ice-water laid
III a newspaper, with the ends of the
paper twisted together to exclude
the air, will remain all night in any
summer room with scarcely any per-
ceptible melting of the ice. These
facts should be utilized oftener than
they are in the care OF the sick at
night. In freezing ice-cream, when
the ice is scarce, pack the freezer only
sthree-quarters full of ice and salt,
and finish with newspapers, and the
difference i'll the time of freezing and
quality of the cream is not percepti-
bic from the result where the freezer
is packed full of ice After removing
the dasher, it is better to cork up the
cream and cover it tightly with a
packing of newspapers than to Use
more ice. The newspaper retains
the cold already in the ice better than
d packing of cracked ice and salt,
which must have crevices to admit
the air English Home and Farm.

A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.

Without antagonizing the worlds
fair bill Senator Edmunds will soon
introduce into the Senate his bill for
a national university to be erected
in memory of the discovery of Amer
lea by Columbus. He has given the
matter much thought and is con-
WINGED of its utility and desira bility.
This was one of the earliest measures
which Washington had mapped out
during his first presidency and it is
we'll known that he left a large APP
propria ton for its establishment and
also had set apart i'll the original
plan of the proposed federal city, now
Washington, plot of ground known
as University Square and now occu-
pied by the naval observatory.

Abraham Lincoln, II years old,
grandson of the martyred president
and son of Robert T. Lincoln, minis
ter to England, passed away in Lon
don Wednesday, March 3, after many
weeks of suffering. The blow to Mr..
and Mrs Lincoln is great indeed, and
the country will have a special inter
est in one who bore SO great name,
and bade fair to honor it. Abraham
was an only son, and was always
called Jack the family feeling that
thename of the grandfather, either as
Abe or Abraham, might well be taken
up when the boy understood the
reverent sentiment with which it is
regarded in the popular mind. The
boy was both bright and brave, as
the cheerful courage with which he
bore his painful and wasting illness
proved, and Minister Lincoln was
training him for the law. He was
born in Chicago, and when his father
reached London, lack" Lincoln was
sent to school at Versailles There
he had mastered French, and
was doing finely in his studies, when
a carbuncle appeared under his left
arm. This proved serious, and Dr.
Peau, the famous French physician,
cut out the malignant tumor when il
threatened to spread to vital parts
The result was SO serious that Lon
don doctors were called by the father,
and they advised the removal of the
boy to London. This was effected.

VERMONTER,s SUCCESS.

In a series of very interesting and
timely articles in the Springfield Re
publican, headed, THE Drift in Wash
ington," is this complimentary para
graph regarding Secretary Proctor's
work in the war department: THE
people of Vermont and New England
ers generally will be pleased to learn
that Redfeld Proctor, secretary of
war, IS held by many to have achieved
as much substantial success in his
work as any other member of Presi-
dent HarrisOn's cabinet. 1t was not
to be expected that the ex-governor
of Vermont would develop along
original lines-as Mr. Whitney had
both the capacity and opportunity
to do in the navy department of the
last cabinet, and as Gen. Tracy has
sought to do in this One-but for
efficient administrative work, invOlv-
ing good sense and rapid, methOdical
execution, Secretary Proctor has
made his mark His sense of Justice
enables him to take up the cause of
the private soldier at times against
petty tyranny on the part of his su-
periors, but he as well commands the
respect and confidence of that rather
critical and exclusive class, the Off
GERS of the army. The new secreta-
rvs reputation has been earned by
the exercise of a prompt practical
judgment, which contrasts favora-
bly, with the more leisurely habits
and judicial temperament of eX-Sec-
rotary Endicott, and the result of the
change is such a despatch of business
as better serves the need of the war
department and more abundantly
satisfies everybody"

The Humane society objected, but

WELL member of the Royal College
of Veterinary Surgeons, London, and
lately examiner for the diploma III

ing a tooth, and then all was over
One cow was at the tank drinking
water when she was stopped and de-
horned in seconds. When released,
finished drinking. Now as to the
tests. 1t was found that in every
case there was a slight quickening of
the pulse and of respiration, both of
which disappeared within 10 min
utes. In order to determine whether
these effects were due to pain or ex-
element, a COW was put in the box,
detained the necessary time for de-
horning, and then let loose, her horns
not being touched. The instruments
showed that the respiration had
risen from 46 to 80, and the pulse in
the same proportion, indica ting that
the effect was due to confinement
and excitement. DR.. Cresswell made
a report of the whole affair, conclud-
ing: 1T must be evident, after wit
Messing the operation and its after eff
fects upon the animal, that none but
the most short-sighted and preju-
diced could be anything but in favor
