Worm of Cooling Moth in Matured Apple


The Department of Agriculture during the
past three years, has devoted considerable
time to the study of fruit tree and vine dis
eases. This division was the first agency in
this country to introduce the use of fungi
cides for grape diseases, and t is Cstimated as .
result of its work that nearly five thousand
grape growers, in nearly all parts of the coun.
try, treated their vineyards for mildew and
black rot, in 1890 Probably in DO part of the
United States was the spraying of the grape
vines and fruit trees put to more OF severe
test than AZ NauvOo, H., the past season.
Nearly =, nG0 was invested there in spraying
outfits aud material. The results have proven
SO satisfactory that this coming season almost
every vintner and orchardist in that section of
the country will have spraying outfit, in fact
the spraying outfits have become as much Of u
necessity as Il plOw on farm.
1t is estimated that the extent OF damage
done 10 the fruit trees and vines in the United
States by insects and fungus disease each year
Will reach four hundred million dollars; in
which event it Is time some method was de-
vised to avoid this heavy loss which is most
felt by the growers in Years of scarcity. The
scarcer the fruit is the more we have to CON
tend with insects.
Mr. VIM. Stahl, Of Quincy, ILL.,, has made q
SPECIAL study of how to prevent the ravages oil
insects and fungus. diseases and will send to
anyone interested. free Of charge, 4 full and
descriptive treatise on this subject.

SURE OF HIS WIFE.

Collapse.

Collapse.
"Pooh!" said one man in horse-car
as group of business men were on
their way downtown, ''my wife is the
most methodical, careful, neat woman
you ever saw. 1t is all nonsense for a
woman to let house run into disorder
ly ways. You ought to sec how my
wife does things"
well, of course that is all very well
in theory" responded another; "but
the best housekeeper gets behind, or
something, sometimes"
my wife never does. She is always
the same. She keeps everything in
flrst-class shape"
''She must be q remarkable person, ="
said another man. "IIow long have
you been married."
Ten years. And she never disap-
pointed me. Why, gentlemen, she
always puts e~'crything in the same
place, and you know just where to find
what you are after. For instance, l
went to my handkerchief drawer this
morning before daylight and took out
handkerchief and put'it in my pocket
before starting out, and know just as
well as know my own name that that
handkerchief is just such a size, and
has my initials worked in silk IN one
corner"
And the boastful man put his hand
in his pocket and pulled out, and I'M
folded, a white night-cap, with long
strings dangling from it!-Youth's Com

Girls and the Stage.

have had good many letters from
among my girls, asking me my opinion
of their going on the stage. 1t be-
comes one of the most difficult to an
swer. There are good, honest, noble,
God-fearing people on the stage; the
theatre may be to the mass of people
great school for morals; but to the one
girl standing in the ranks waiting to
work her way forward, it is a working
ground where temptation is on every
side. If she is strong enough to re-
sist this, then let her 60 ahead. If she
be one of the weaker sisters, then let
her think many times before she puts
herself in position that will certainly
entail great deal of watohfulness and
hard work.
The life of the actress is rs full of
hard work as is that of the girl who
stands behind the counter or the one
who is mistress of the telegraph key.
Do not imagine that the gold glitter
ing on the gown of the beautiful adj
ventures is a symbol OF the golden life
she leads. and do not be icve that the
simpering iuge,lue who wonders with
smile ''how anybody ever does any
work" is not Just as full of study and
absolute physical work as is that OF
most other women. She works till late
at night consequently she must sleep u
little in the morning. She gets up aud
then goes to long aud tiresome
rehearsal, then only has time to get a
bite, and half-an-hour's sleep or read
ing before she starts again for the
theatre. But you thiuk there are
others who do not work in this way.
Yes, yes! But they are the ones that
YOU do not want to initiate. Mrs.
Kendall has said that for the woman
who has some talent, and who is will
ing to work and wait. there is success
on the stage, and it pays better than
almost any other professions; but dur
ing the waiting years there must be a
constant watch kept, so that scandal
does not touch with its burning tongue
the woman who is working for success.
So think it out well for yourself;
conclude whether you not only have a
| heart to resolve, head to contrive
| and hand to execute. but whether
YOU really have the talent that must
| belong to the actress. The worlds all
stage aud the men and women mere
ly players, but you may be cast for the
happy wife and mother. So don't
make the mistake, if you are a round
peg, of getting into II square hole

solutely lawless. no sheriff was present
to interfere with tho hilarty of the
boys. and there was scarcely bar to

the Romans do. This chap. however.
with singular lack of tact, had ven-
tured into the wild west attired in
most fashionable garb and as though
to tempt fate, wore high silk hat.
All went well, however. until abou
dusk, when two cowboys, evidently
the worse for liquor, caught sight of
the unfamiliar sight, and in very
short fine the despised tile was on the
ground and a target for two six-shoot-
crs. Surprised, doubtless. at custom
so different from anything that he had
seen in Boston. the drummer beat
retreat at what might be termed dig
ntied fast wax. This reused the
lOunging crowd, and after him they all
went, finally corraling the naturally
dsmayed man in the bar room of the
hotel. why, pardner," hlccoughed

the battered tile, Eve don't want to
rob you of your hat. just having
little fun. You muse 'scuse us. Here,
YOU take my hat; it's blame sight
better than your old one" And with
ont more ado the drummer was adorn-
ed with the big, greasy sombrero of
the cow-puncher, while that worthy
assumed the once elegant vestige of
civilization and wore it over his own
long locks.
Oae of the boys then proposed
drink 'just to show that there was no
il-feeling about the trade So all
hands, including the drummer, who
probably thus hoped to get rid of his
unwelcome company, engaged in Il
social glass. Another followed, aud
still another. until all were like

and n six-shooter buckled around his
disordered frock coat, was going down
the street of the tow, his arms around
the necks of the two aSsailants of
few hours before, one of whom still
wore the perforated plug hat. All
three were yelling, the drummer as
vociferously as any, and all were on
equal terms, leveled by that greatest
OF all levelers-drink.

The Great Benefits or spray ing.

Notwithstanding the many and most posi-
tive proofs of the great benefits resulting 10
fruit and grape growers from spraying they
are thus far slow 10 avail themselves of this
almost certain method of saving, increasing
and identifying the products of their orchards
ana vineyards. 1t will not be disputed that
the necessity for spraying, for the destruction
of insect pests that attack tree fruits, is much
greater than for the protection OF grape vines,
whose worst enemies are fungus diseases, but
where these are very prevalent, as in some
seasons and sections of the country, it is
"spray and save the crop or refrain from
SPRAYING and lose it''-as the rots and mildews
