The Elm-Tree Beetle.

This pest of the elm is the European
leaf-beetle xanthomelaena.
1t is becoming a serious enemy. 1t
prefers the European elms, but very
likely will attack the American when
the European is destroyed. This beetle
is n near relative to the Colorado
potato beetle, which it much resembles
in its natural history. The best remedy
is to spray will. London purple. We
find by numerous experiments that
one pound OF this poison to two hun
dred gallons OF water is effective, and
less injurious to foliage. By use OF
our powerful force-pumps this can be
thrown even to the top OF quite large
trees, 1t is impor ant that all affected
trees be treated, and so in cities II
woull be wise for the authorities to
take the matter in hand. The spray
ing should begin as soon rs the leaves
arc attacked. Prof. A. j. Cook.

An Angel of Mercy.


Alittle girl was graciously permitted,
one bright Sunday, to go with her
mamma to hear papa'preach. 1t was a
time of great rejoicing and response
bility, and the little face was all alight
with happy anticipation. Now it
chanced that on this special occasion
papa's sermon was on the warming
order. and his earnest voice rang out
solemnly in the Sunday quiet. After a
moment of breathless surprise and
horror, the little listeners soul was
wrought upon with great pity for the
poor mortals upon whom so much
wrath was descending. She rose ex-
citedly to her feet, and, her wide, re-
proachful eyes just peeping over the
back OF the seat, called out, in sweet
chiding tones: "What for is you

mentions many curious facts as to do
nestle economy OF 1888. The dinner
hour was two p. m, or for company at
three p. m. The dishes and cooking
were very much the same as those in
middle class houses now. Malt liquor,
cider and sherry were the ordinary
drinks at dinner, port and Madeira be-
ing put on the table along with the
slight dessert. "lf the gentlemen
wished to make drinking bout, which
was often the case. it began after sup

two female servants. Rooms were very
plainly furnished, and ornaments were
kept in closets or chests, to be brought
