Not all of the insects which infest Tia,
gardens and orchards are injurious TO th,
fruits, trees and shrubs. Like the birds o.
the alr there are many insects which a.
more good than harm. aud their ae,,daint

among the bugs and insects of the feldant
orchards, and this warfare does more 10

shrubs and vines The white-faced hornet
is probably the best friend to have in th,
orchard after all. although many consider
this hot-tempered insect q great nuisance
Ii the garden is infested with slugs the
hornets will soon discover them and Il

ands of the slugs They will ay about and
take the slugs from the leaves and carry
them 10 their nest. The amount of good
that a colony of these hornets will do for a
garden can not be oyerestimated, and the
little trouble that they may do should be
overlooked in view of the great benefit
they may confer upon the owner of the
plants
The larger kinds of beetles, the lion.
beetle especially, are also very beneficial Ia
the farmer, because their whole time is EN-
ployed IN destroying parasites, flies and

There will be no more striking page in
the history of the United States than that
describing the wonderful manner in
which the great war debt was liquidated.
Between the years 1862 and 1868 the in
debtedness of the nation was suddenly in
creased from 1924 900, 600 TO nearly ST.,
100, 900, 900 and by the year 1856 it had
risen TO the enormous sum Of S2773, 900,
600 In less than a quarter Of a century
this tremendous burden has been reduced
in almost marvellous manner and at the
beginning Of the present year the debt
of the United States less cash in the
treasury, was only 81 05G, 100000 The
interest bearing the debt is only about
$50 100000, which with the bonded in
debtness Of the several . les makes about
81 100000 600. This is borne by the
population Of about $1,000 600 Turning
to Canada, at the risk Of being accused
Of disloyaIity iu venturirg 10 make the

rot more than 1000, 900 carrying a funded
national debt of over 5000 100000 TO say
nothing Of the Indebtedness OF their yarl.
Gus subdivisions,
The comparison becomes all the more
unfavorabe TO ug when we remember that
Indebtedness Of ours is rapidly increasing
while that Of our neighbors is being SO
speedily reduced.

criticised. Our correspondent assumes
the Commissioners to have been influ.
enced in their action by the fact that
some of them failed wholly to receive
any support from that quarter at the last
election. This We think is not true.
