Meaning Of the Words C!aro. Colorado,
Maduro and Oscuro.
One OF the most interesting things to
me, being an ex-member OF the trade,
is to study the simple little brands on
the ends OF the cigar boxes in the
tobacconists' stores, and wonder how
many Of the people who use the con-
tents know the meaning of the words
''claro," etc. Nowadays . smoker calls
for light medium or dark-colored
cigar as his fancy dictates. To the
dealer, however. there is nicer and
more exact method of naming the shade
"Claro," for instance, stands for the
lightest shade of all, and is mostly found
in the cheaper grades of two-fers. About
the palest in color of the ordinary cigar
is the Colorado. Then comes Colo
RADIO Maduro." next .Maduro," and last
ly "Oscuro," which is the darkest, heayi-
est cigar made. The Colorado Mad nro''
and .'Maduro" shades are the most
sought for in the best grades Of domestic
cigars, while consumers OF imported
brands run to ''Maduro'' and "Oscuro'
Itseems difficult to get a really good i'm
ported cigar that is not dark -colored.
All OF them are strong and while many
men affect the darkest, high priced
kinds, believe that few of them really
enjoy them. As good cigar as any man
need smoke can now be bought for ter
and fifteen cents. A few experts may
find value and solace in tin-foiI

THE TOMATO WORM.

IT Has . Parasitic Enemy That Makes
Its Life Burden.
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 arc the cocoons
of q little parasitic ny, an enemy Of the
worm. and they originate as follows:
Some fine summer day when the to-
mato worm 10 enjoying his meal OF the
leaves Of rhe fruit OF the tomato,
small, L,uck, four-winged fly alights
upon a:x back and deposits beneath his
skin By means Of long needle-like in
struMent called tho overpositor, great
Dambcrs Of minute eggs. In 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
feed!ng-its eody being literally full of
the grubs. Wien 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 tho 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 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
Apanteles congregatus. 1t is black, while
the secondary species may be either
yellowish brown or . brilliant blush
green. Any one can get these parasite
flies by inclosing some Of the cocoons
in box or other receptacle.

The practice Of testing cows for milk
and butter was until ten or twelve
years ago, almost unhcard OF, but within
that time, and especially during the last

No Matter Where Ho May He lie Il sub

Did you ever notice that there is a
doctor wherever you go? The fact does
not become SO apparent until the doctor
is wanted, and then he will appear. Is
it proviIential? Or is it that this dis
ciple Of 4Esculapius is called upon to
answer for the sins OF the father Of tho
profession and is kept on the move like
the mythical restless wandering jew?
Coming in on a crowded train from the
West few days ago was woman in
the rear coach. She became i'll. No
one in the coach appeared to know what
to do. The conductor was appealed to.
lie called the porter and told him to

and ask If there was . physician on
board The porter obeyed, Of course,
but he met with no response until he
reached the last coach forward. the
smoker. The very last man forward
was young doctor. just returning from

Is strange. too" said he to the writer
afterward, ''for as rule . doctor can

goes away to another part Of the world
to rest. A tradesman in Hong Kong
finds him and undertakes to drive q
trade. The merchant prince laughs at
him. He says he is out for rest and left
his business at home. The doctor can
never say that. OF verify it can be
said of him that in life he is in the

age OF the dirt by tho addition Of
another cylinder, another sorting Of
potatoes could be made.
The inside cylinder should extend
about four inches farther than the out
side one. so as to make a more conven-
lent fitting for the boxes through which
the potatoes would slide. ! think such
an arrangement would be much better
than either Of the sorters illustrated.
1t would be better than the Hoover sort
er. because the dirt would he separated
from the small potatoes. and two sort
ings could be made il needed. One ad-
vantage it would have over the Collins
sorter would be that there would be
more certainty Of separating the soil
from the small tubers. l should sup
pose that in the Collins sorter, IL tho
potatoes were thrown in too fast, the
small ones would fall out beyond the
lower screen and tumble to the ground.
