Then, arching their body head-fore-

POTATO SCAB.

worms. This IDEA is based upon the
fact that scab spots form an attractive
feeding ground for a variety of insects,
especially wire-worms, myriapods and
mites; the common occurrence of which,
especially in the deeper scab spots,
has led to the belief that the two were
directly associated. That this is not
the case has been shown by careful
observation, the only connection be-
tween the two resting on the fact that
the injury already existing from quite
different cause is often extended by
them very considerably
The earliest botanical explanation
of the cause of scab was in 1912 when
DR.. Wallroth attributed it to the action
of certain fungus. 1t has since been
shown that this was another disease
entirely, and only in recent years has
the true disease been carefully studied

were infected with the disease. The

The Life of Apple Trees.

The average life of an apple tree is
rated by the Gardeners Monthly at
fifty years. But, of course, individual
trees often reach a hundred years or
more when well cared for. Thousands
of apple trees, however, like men, die
early from neglect and bad treatment.
The cutting away of large limbs is one
frequent cause of ruin and death. The
unprotected wound causes an early de-
cay of the wood and then death. In
old orchards trees may frequently be
found which are mere shells, little OF
the trunks being left beside the bark.

Verify this season is the apotheosis of
the dress sleeve completed. A few years
ago this now important feature of the
gown was simple, close, unassuming
little essential of the gown, like the
gown or the baleuse underneath the
skirt. You could almost make it out of
the fragments left after the gown was
cut. 1t fitted the arm as close as tho
skirts now fit the hips, as close as tho
skin itself-yes, closer, for you can
bend your arm in the skin, and you
couldn't bend it in those sleeves. The
fitting of those little, close sleeves was
the bette noir of dressmakers and tailors,
and required more time and patience
than the shaping of the bodice it.
self. But gradually the sleeve loosen
ed its severe little buttoned wrist was
relieved with cuff or fold of trim
ming, and 80 it grew and broadened
and heightened and heightened until
now the old order changes. You must
plan your sleeve first, and out of the
remnants fashion your skirt so skinny
and snug and close. AS to the material,
it may be anything from choicest lace
and gauzc to rich brocade, heavy with
jewels, no matter what the gown is. I
saw a plain rough gray wool on the
avenue recently with sleeves of black
gauze pulled over yellow silk. If you
have an old close sleeve, cut it out Of
the ar1nhole in some jagged rough
fashion, slash it and scallop it, and put
in great big puff of something as en-
tirely different from it as possible. Then
put two deep plaitings around it just
below the elbow, frill of lace at the
wrist, and all of the other girls will be
trying to copy it as the work Of clever
est of French modistes. Slit an old
sleeve anywhere and let in puff or
ruffle or excresence of any kind with
any excuse for being, and you have dis
.inctly a new sleeve.-N. Y. Sun.

An apparently respectable woman
was brought recently before police
magistrate, at Paris, on q charge Of
stealing about 1900 articles from that
great drapery emporium on the left
bank of the Seine called the Bon
Marche. Such acts of larceny arc coru-
mon enough in Paris, but in the par
ticular case of this delinquent there
were some details which were not alto
gether devoid of novelty. Thus, before
proceeding on a pilfering expedition
through the well-stocked departments
of the big bazaar, the woman used to
note carefully down in her memorandum
book the objects on which she had cast
her eyes and which she intended to an
mex.
On the day of her arrest the detec-
tives discovered her notebook and found
marked in it such items as the follow
ing: One pair of stays for self, twelve
francs, size sixty centimeters; two pairs
of the best braces for my old man, six
pairs of the warmest socks for Louis,
several yards of wool for Lucy's skirt,
and so on. Each and every one of the
objects thus jotted down, together with
numerous others, were extracted from
the leathern bag which she carried.
Her rooms were next searched. and
another notebook was found, anu on
the leaves of which were insc,ibcd: A
pretty paper-weight for my sons En-
glish teacher, a dozen pocl1ct-hanGker-
chiefs for fathers servant girl and a
holy water fount for Sister Saint Vim
cent of the Gray Nuns. The mcmoran-
da, in short, showed that the dame was
a most exemplary wife and mother, and
generous toward those whom she came
in contact. She was dealt with, how
ever, by the bench in a most lenient
manner, and has to undergo but fort

a white man named Charles Gooding,
living near Goodland, a station on the
Frisco road in the Choctaw nation, en-
ployed an Irish wcll-digger, Mike Du-
haney, to sink well on his place. Du-
haney began work and had reached a
depth of sixty feet. At noon, Saturday,
after eating dinner, his assistants began
lowering him back into the well to re-
sumo work, but he had hardly gone
twenty feet when he screamed to them
to pull him out quick, that he was burn
ing up. AS hurriedly as possible he
was hoisted out, but on reaching the
surface was unconscious and it required
two hours hard work to restore him.
He was found in a pitiable condition,
his clothing being scorched until it
crumbled at the touch, and his body
was fearfully blistered. The intense
heat seemed to raise from the bottom,
and coat lying on the windlass, and the
rope wound around it, were all charred
until they broke into fragments at

morning had worn away, the manager
