Arthur A. Dreier, son Of the Consul,
has during the past two or three years
done most of the routine work Of the
Office, and in consideration Of his serv.
ices has been appointed Vice-Consul by
the Danish Government.
Italy is represented by Signor Paul
Bajnotti, an official who reflects credit
on his government and his fellow-coun-
trymen in America. His rank is that Of
Vice-Consul or Consular Agent, and all
the business of his Office is done through
the Italian Consul General at New York.
His predecessor in the Chicago Office
was Augustine Scuitti, an old gentle
man of the Garibaldi school, who lived
altogether in the past, and never won
the confidence of his countrymen doing
business in Chicago.
The Consul for Sweden and Norway

Office for seventeen years. The Neither

THE CUT WORM.
A Destructive Pest That Seems Possessed
with the Spirit OF Deviltry.

A Destructive Pest That Seems Possessed
with the Spirit OF Deviltry.
The cut worm, we need not say, is q
destructive pest There are several
species of them, and they feed not only
upon corn, but upon grasses and nearly
all our. cereal crops. They receive their
name from their habit Of cutting on the
plant on which they feed: IT, however,
they would only cut what they eat we
might bear with them. But seemingly
possessed Of q real spirit Of deviltry,
they cut of plant after plant apparently
for the fun of the thing. They are not
/ In imported insect They have been
here from the first knowledge that white
men had of the continent. The birds
serve us good purpose in devouring
the cut worm. Plow the land in early
fall, and give the birds chance. 1t is
probable that whatever benefit comes
from blowing in the fall in the direction
Of destroying the cut worm, is the re-
suit Of giving the birds chance at
them, for 1t is said that the unprotected
Larvae will stand temperature Of thirty
degrees below zero. Hence there is not
much hope of freezing them to death.
One writer advises that they be de-
str0yed by digging them out by hand.
Pretty tedious and difficult work, some
will say. Well, this writer says not.
He declares that 1t is by no means SO
tedious procedure as would be thought
1t first as by passing along the corn
field early in the morning the cut stalk
will reveal the whereabouts Of the night
mArauder, which, by digging around the
stub. may soon be found and crushed.
As this plan implies the loss Of at least
q single stalk to larva 1t would be very
well in planting to practice the advice
of The poet: 1.-TWO for the blackbird,
two for the crow; two for the cut worm,
and four to grow" This advice will be
all the more pertinent II the corn is to
be planted after late spring-plowed
Rreensward. This writer further says
that 50 our farmers will heed the above,
and give the go-by to all those quack
remedies which obtain annually an un-
merited place in our periodicals, such as
salt, plaster, etc. Though all fertilizers
which promote rapid growth are always
to be commended as aids in the work Of
insect destruction), this cut-worm evil
will soon assume less Importance. The
Rural, however, does not agree with him
in his denunciation Of salt. We believe

Storing Apples.

A mistake too often made in this con-
nection is to place the apples in the
cellar too early in the season. After
continuous freezing weather sets in, no
place is as good asa cellar for storing
apples; but they should be kept in an
open outb uilding after being barreled
until such weather arrives. Indeed,
apples often do well left entirely out Of
doors, protected only BY boards 20
placed over the barrels ~ TO shed rain.
Apples may be subjected to some pretty
cold weather in this way with impunity
If the temperature is not % low az to
bring about hard freezing.
Perhaps more apples rot through too
early cellar confinement than suffer in
condition from exposure. 1t is probable
that the keeping Of fruit mainly depends
upon the temperature of the room,
whether it isa cellar or q place above
ground. A temperature Just above
freezing Is supposed 10 be the most IA
vorable. Dryness has been considered
essential If fruit is to be long preserved,
but there is d question about this; even
moisture, when it tends to reduce the
temperature and keep 1t near the freez-
ing point without reaching 1t, may help
to arrest decay.-The Household.

TO make nice dressing for cabbage

Household.
Ivory handle Of umbrella, parasol or

says, be cleaned to look like new "by
rubbing with Underground pumice-
stone and water, and wash, and while
still moist expose to sun in glass

or it will crack"

usual to remove the seeds. which will

Excellent syrup that will pass for

ing it. 1t should be washed before it
gets very badly soiled, however. If it
is desired to stiffen it. use little white
glue, d ssolved and stirred into the
rinsing water, or gum arabic. In fact,
these are generally better than starch
to stiffen fine colored cottons or linens.
Starch is apt to show unsightly Jumps
or blotches, especially on black or dark
goods.-The Housekeeper.
Dust Cloth Bag.-When tastefully
made these articles are by no means to
be despised as ornaments. A very
pretty one is made Of ticking, the
stripes being worked with fancy stitches
done in different colors. Cut the ma
terial for the bag long enough so that
you may have a deep, pointed lap after
the bag is made; then draw the lap
through brass ring, to which it must be
tackled firmly. Decorate the bottom Of
the bag with metal ornaments and
place similar ones upon the point and
each corner of the lap. The duster may
be made of soft silk, or cheese-cloth
buttonholed with some pretty shade OF
worsted or sjlk.-TOledo Blade.

Consul was made in 1877. Mr.. Henrotini is
now about forty-five years old, and has
for some years been recognized as one
Of the most far-sighted Western fnan-
ciers. In his operations as banker and
broker he commands large amounts OF
foreign capital and enjoys the conf
dence Of European investors.
The South and Central American
States doing business direct with Chi
cago maintain Consular offices In Chi
cago, Mexico being represented by
Senior Felipe Berriorabat, Venezuela by
Mr.. David b. Whiting and Argentine by
Mr.. P. S. Hudson. The two last-named
are Chicago business men who attend to
the duties Of their offices, like all Con-
sular agents, for the fees.
Diplomatic Consuls receive q stated
salary and are compelled to remit all
fees to the home government. They
also transact all business direct with
the Foreign 0faces Of the countries they
represent. Consular Agents and Woe
Consuls, on the other hand, send their
reports to the COnsuls- General or Minis
tiers, and, in lieu Of salary, retain the
fees of their Offices, which frequently
amount to more than the salaries of
diplomatic Consuls. Mr.. Henrotin, the
Belgian Consul, for example, according
to report in the Chicago Tribune, re-

A NEW GRAPE TRELLlS.

You That Have Had Trouble with Grape
Frames Will Get an Idea Here.
A difficulty In the use Of wire trellis
for grapevines, says the Country Gentle
man, is the tendency Of the posts to sag
by the action Of heat and cold on the
wire. Various remedies are resorted to
to obviate this dificulty-large posts
are procured, and they are set deep in
the ground; broad, fiat stones are placed
against the posts; timber braces to hold
them extend from the top in an oblique
position to the ground, and other means
are used. A new mode by which the wires
do all the bracing is represented in

Aside from the large seaport cities,
Chicago is the only point in the United
States in which the nations Of the world
maintain q regular Consular service.
This Is the highest compliment which
foreign governments can pay to the
greatness and Importance Of the West
'ern metropolis; and that the compli-
ment Is not IMMORTALITY bestowed is
proved by the fact that several Of the
leading nations have found 1t necessary
10 appoint vice-Consuls in addition to
'Ehe regular Consuls, as the work Of
their respective offices has grown be-
10nd the control Of one man.
Consuls are. in the first instance, COM
mercial agents who attend to matters OF
import and export and certify to the
value Of goods shipped from foreign
points to places in their native lands.
They also represent the interests OF
their countrymen in courts Of law, and,

affairs Of the cities where they are To-
Gated. In case such city is seaport,
