SIS, 600 last March. it was thought that
its rayages were confined to an area in

but upon OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a

another appropriation Of S25, 600 was

After the organization of the com.

tack the clusters of eggs. These were
found on the branches of the trees and
shrubs, on fences, walls, buildings,
piles Of lumber, etc. The principal
of destruction consisted o~flighted
kerosene torches, by which the eggs
were burned in the position in which
they were found. This work was be.

Germany the pest that is now known as
the gypsy moth. His nam was L.

he lived in Medford, about eight miles
from Boston, where he experimental in

for the same purpose, Through care

the eggs Matched and the young larvs
were found feeding upon the foliage:
spraying with Paris green and water
(about one pound Of Paris green to one
hundred and fifty gallons Of water) was
then begun. The equipment now con-

each mounted upon a cart or wagon, a
force pump and from 100 to 200 feet of
hose to each outfit, with spraying
nozzles, Two men are employed with
each apparatus, A systematic regula-

The turning point
in woman's life brings peculiar
weaknesses and ailments. DIR.
Pierce's Fayorite Prescription
brings relief and cure. 1t is a
powerful, inyigorating, restorative
tonic and nervine. 1t imparts
strength to the whole system in
general, and to the uterine organs
and appcndages in particular.
"Run-down," dcbilitated and deli
cate women need it. It's a legiti-
mate medicine purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless. It's guaranteed
to give satisfaction in every case, or
money refunded. Nothing else does
as much. You only pay for the
good you get. Can you ask more?
AS a regulator and promoter of
functional action, at that critical
period of change from girlhood to
womanhood, "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" is a perfectly safe remedial
agent, and can produce only good
results. 1t is equally efficacious and
valuable in its effects when taken
for those disorders and derange-
ments incident to that later and
most critical period, known as "The
Change Of Life"

Joe felt tempted to indulge in a hearty
laugh over their queer situation, but a
glance at the distressed face across the
table sobered his mirth. A great throb
Of sorrow came over him, II she loved
him she would not care so much.
He gazed at the shining fetter on her
wrist so long and so earnestly that Hell
en- lifted her eyes wonderingly but
dropped them again.
What woman yer failed to read tho
story that she saw in the honest blue
depth of her humble young giants
eyes?
Her confusion encouraged Joe, but
there was almost a tremor in his voice
as he laid his great brown hand over
her fettered one and said softly; Nell,
If you only loved me | would believe
that it was fate that bound US together.

she still saw that look In them. "Joe."

The old gentleman's face was a study.
When the truth dawned upon him he
flung himself into the nearest chair
and laughed until he walked the echoes

She was at first bewildered by her
novel position, but soon remembered
the true situation and relapsed into
silence, leaving Joe to tell the story.

Drinking With MeaIs-

The habit of many people of drinking
large quantities Of water with their
meals is very injurious. 1t is often
taken TO rinse down food before it has
become thoroughly insalivated; it di.
lutes the digestive fluids, which neces.
sarily retards digestion, besides over.
loading the stomach. Digestion is de.
layed because the fluids must he
absorbed before the process Of digestion
can begin. When soups and moist food,
are eaten it is usually best not to drink
during the meal; but If, however, a meal
is made uplof dry foods, crackers, dry
bread. zweiback, granola, ETC., it will
be advantageous todrink Q small ouan.
tity Of water during the progress OF the
meal. 1t is often beneficial to take n
swallows Of hot water at the close OF \
meal, for heat stimulates digestion.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.


Many OF the bonnets ornamented with
flowers only are fresh and summer-like
TO the last degree, being made OF the
lightest rush, like basket-work, and left
unlined like the roso-stalk bonnets of
last year. Some of these are all of
brown rush, some of green and brown
mixed, and others of silver-white twigs
that look exactly like birch bark. The
flowers used upon them seem, if pos
sible, a better imitation of the real than
ever. One pretty bonnet of pale greer
rush has a trembling, delicate cluster of
valley lilies placed quite forward, so
that som of the sprays droop over the
hair, and in the heart of the pure white
cluster nestle two rich, red rosebuds.
Clusters of mountain daisies are used,
dandelion blossoms and buds that look
just picked from their stems, with
a blow or two to complete the illu-
sion, and dusty miller" leaves sur
round carefully-shaped groups of
cowslips.
Accordion-plaited tissue paper in del
icate tints is used for c~oncealing ugly
red flower-pots containing blossoming
plants and vines. The covers are so
shaped that four points are visible,
with corresponding hollows. The shape
is slipped over the flower-pot at the low
er portion of the cover, and owing to its
power of expanding and contracting,
fits the pot, large or small alike. A band
of ribbon tied in a generous bow on one
side is the additional ornament and
serves also to keep the cover
in position The vandyked upper
edge gives a lighter, airier appearance
than a level edge would do. These are
very tasteful and inexpensive substi.
tutes for tho covers of China silk, and
make a decoration on a table at a gar
den-party tea that is not to be despised.
Pink, sea-green and primrose paper
covers look pretty with blossoms of tea
roses, mignonette, and white carnations.
Blooms Of uniform color are, however,
preferred by many.
Skirts of summer toilets are shaped
with great simplicity; many of them
are deliberately trimmed, but a great
portion for general wear are garnished
with ribbons, A pretty gray mohair
figured with minute silver dots was re.
Gently finished, which showed seven
rows of black velvet ribbon on the skirt,
graduated widths being used. The
corsage was correspondingly trimmed.
The waist was rounded rather than
pointed, and from the side seams there
