Tricks Of . Canine sehemsr.

The story going the rounds regarding a cat that digs angle worms and then buries them near it's own hiding-plaee, and when the birds come to catch the worms the cat catches the birds has a rival in that of a dog whose mate, though larger and able to monopolize the most toothsome bone, is withal pos sessed of 8 very excitable temper for game. When he finds and proceeds to munch his bone to the exclusion of all others, the former canine goes short distance. barks furiously up a tree CT by hole in the ground. When his monopolistic friend finally becomes 50 excited as to leave his bone and join the hunt for supposed game, tho former rushes back, sei2es tho bone thus left and skurries away with it--Augusta Journal.

 with the speed as they dashed past If the train did not come up in time with the ammunition, it might as we'll not come at all. So, my friends, there are times in our lives when we must have help immediately or perish. Tho grace that comes too late is no grace at all What you and l want is a God now. Ohl Is it not blessed to think that God is always in such quick pur- suit of His dear children? When a sinner seeks pardon, or bafIled soul needs help, swifter than thrushes' wing, swifter than ptarmigan's wing, swifter than hamingos wing, swifter than eagles wing, are the wings of tho AL mighty.
 remark, further, carrying out the idea of my text that tho wings under which Ruth had come to trust were very broad wings. There have been eagles shot on the Rocky mountains with wings that were seven feet from tip to tip. When the king of the air sits on the erag, the wings arc spread over all the eaglets in the eyrie. and when the eagle starts from the rock the shadow is like the spreading of storm cloud. So the wings of God are broad wings Ruth had been under those wings in her iniantile days, in tho days of her happy giFlhood in Moab; in tue day when she gave her hand to Mahlon, in her first marriage; in tho day when she wept over his grave; in the day when she trudged out into the wilder ness of poverty; in the day when she picked np the few straws of barley dropped by ancient. custom in tho way of the poor. e f t
 Oh. yes, the wings of God are broad wings. They cover all our wants, all our sorrowss all our sufferings He puts ono wing oyer our cradle and He puts tho other wing over our grave. Yes n ' sssy friends, lt Ia not desert Is

TO PREVENT sUNBuRN.

Blacken Your Face and It viii Not Smart

The fair sex often seek eagerly for q
preventive against sunburn. Some re.

It is an acknowledged fact that sun

sunlight reflected from freshly fallen
snow acts much moro energetically on
the skin than that reflected from older
snow. One brilliant day he painted his
face brown, and assembled the Corner
Grat where there was much snow.
There were about eighty others making

THE TOMATO WORM,,s :.

1t Has . Parasitic Ensmy. That Makes
Its Life q Burden.
l am frequently asked, says Entomolo-
gist Clarence Nj. Weed, in American
Garden.- concerning the. origin of the
peculiar egg-like objects often seen on
the backs of tomato worms. These are
not eggs, however, but are the cocoons
Ola little parasitic fly, ansenemy of the
worm. and they originate as follows:a.ss
Some fine summer day when the to-
mato wo.m is enjoying his meal of the
Leaves Of 1he fruit Of the tomato, a
small, buck, four-winged fly alights
upon h:a back and deposits beneath his
skin BY means Of q long needle like in
strament called tho overpositor, great
psnbers Of minute eggs. ] In a. few
weeks these eggs hatch into little leg
less grubs which absorb the juices of
the worm and develop at his expense.
In few weeks the tomato worm stops
feeding-its tody boing literally full of
the grubs. Wren full grown, these
grubs bore holes in the back of their
host and crawl through the skin and
escape. As soon as they are on the out
side they begin spinning white silken
cocoons, which are the objects frequent
~ mistaken for eggs. Within these
cocoons they change to the pupa state
and in about fortnight emerge as four,
winged flies like the original egg-layer.
Tomato worms affected by the para
sites seldom live to change to their
pupa state, and never, so far as known,
complete their transformations. But
these little parasites do not always
have things entirely to their own lik-
ing, for they are themselves subject to
the attacks of a still smaller parasite,
which destroys them as they destroy
their hosts. These secondary parasites,
as they are called, are quite different
from the primary ones, differing both
in form and color. This species of
primary parasite which attacks the
tomato worm is called by entomologists
Apaate1es congregatus. 1t is black, while
the secondary species may be either
yellowish brown or q brilliant blush
green. Any one can get these parasite
flies by inclosing some of the cocoons
in box or other receptacle.
