When the bill which bore the hon
ored name of Mckinley was introduced
into the Representative House at
Washington. manufacturers of SaXony
who exported their goods to the | nit"d
States were seized with the greatest
anxiety. Branches Of the SaXoHy
textile industries feared that their
whole trade would be destroyed.
We can affirm with certainty not only
that the industry OF SaHOny VIII over
com" tie evil effects Of the Mckinley
bill. but that tie prospect Is not SO
gloomy as vas expected.
II il thought That the votes Of the
electors will shortly destroy Mck1n-
Iev's work in the Immense lrans-At-
lantc I Mon, will dispense with the
pass word Of America for Americans.
and, by giving splendid victory to the
Democratic party, Will open Il Tree
path t. our export trade.
These are the hopes which have
ron-ed So much interest throughout

The Color Guard.

Boys who have attended military schools
know what the color guard is. but perhaps
some young readers do not know The
color guard is a small body of picked men
sergeants and corporals chiefly, who are
stationed on each side of and behind the col
or sergeant. The color guard never leaves
the flag in action and never does any fight
ing until the last reserves are called upon.
Their business is to stand by the flag and
prevent it from falling into the hands of
the enemy.
Aboard ship one of the things that used
to be done in the good old days of wooden
trigates WIS to nail the colors to the mast.
Hauling down the colors in a naval fight
Is the sign of surrender. When they are

Insects Iniurious to Grasses.

A very large number of insects live
and develop in grass and meadow lands
Some live on the plants above ground,
others on the roots below and some even
in the stems of the grass itself. Clover
also sustains large number of species
on root, stem, leaf and flower Each year
the number of insects increases until
finally the grass runs out Cutworms feed
on the grass and clover above ground.
wireworms on the roots below. The cut
worms that are most injurious usually
become about half grown in the fall,
winter in that condition on or Just below
the surface sheltered by the grass itself,
and resume their feeding early in the
spring as soon as vegetation starts.
Wireworms usually live more than
one year in the larval state, and as q rule
winter among the roots in that condi-
ton. When they are fully grown they
undergo their changes to pups and image
quite early in the summer, and then the
beetles remain underground during the
winter. Professor Comstock, of Cornell
station, has found that blowing between
July 20 and Sept. 20 so disturbs these
alternating beetles that the insects die
and do not emerge during the following
spring.
Professor Smith, entomologist of the
New Jersey station, believes that large
percentage of insect injury can be averted
by good farm practice, and recommends
to pillow late in the fall whenever posi-
bic. In Bulletin No. IS he repeats his
advice to use kainit wherever practical
BILE, as effective against both cutworms
and wireworms. The authorities quoted
agree as to the value of fall blowing for
the destruction of insects, but Professor
Comstock reported poor success with
kainit as against wireworms, as has
heretofore been stated in this page

Dinner i'm 1880.

The manner in which meal was served
in 1880 is thus described by an old French
writer, W no gives without doubt a correct
idea Of repast throughout civilized Eu-
rope at that epoch among people well to
do. The table, it is to be remarked, was
often con structed of boards placed on tres
ties.
The seats, tables and dressers are ar
ranged and the dining room is put in order
in becoming manner. The principal
guests are put at the head of the table
with the master of the house, and none sit
down TIL they have washed their hands.
Afterward the lady of the house, the daugh-
tiers and the rest of the family are seated
according to their social conditions. The
saltcellaIs the knives and spoons are then
put on With the bread, and afterward
meats cooked in different ways are brought
and served with great diligence by the
servitors, and those who are at table talk
to one another and try to amuse themselves
in an agreeable manner.
Then come the minstrels with all their
instruments and try to delight the COM
pany Wines and meats are renewed and
at the end of the meal fruits are brought.
When the meal is finished water is brought
to wash the hands, the cloth is taken away
and the table lowered. Then grace is said,
and thanks and compliments are rendered
tothe host.-San Francisco Chronicle

The Souhrette,s 10y.

If you should chance to pause in front of
any Broadway window where theatrical
faces are displayed you will invariably
surprise some footlight fairy looking at
her counterfeit presentment. The worse
the counterfeit-the more it fatters her
the oftener she will be there to look at it
The mere act of looking is not so satisfac
tory to her, but it attracts attention Other
people lool, to see what she is looking at
The chances are that somebody at some
time will note a faint resemblance some
where anc viii say. There she is now, :"
and then everybody within hearing will
stare at her aud whisper Then the foot
light fairy will 90 away happy have
seen a soubrette playing a Broadway en-
gagement stop every day to look at her
pictures in the windows. If there were a
dozen to the block she would stop from
one to ten minutes to silently worship each
one. Such is the glory of the first season

English People and American Thing.

II is time that the truth should be un
derstood n this matter of Anglo American
imitation The opinion prevails that it is
wholly onesided. which most emphatically
is not the case. The American heaven
works in England about as strongly as the
English notions obtain this side the water
Is it not concession to American good
sense and example that English young
women of the best families now often walk
the streets unattended by footmen? Such
a thing lew years ago would have b,en
impossible. American practices and prec-
edents are freely quoted and adopted in
English society. American ideas are copied
without stint. and American wares, nov
elites and inventions are generally adver
tised by London tradesmen
The most conservative of the London so
ciety and women's periodicals constantly
set forth the ''fads" of American women,
and they long ago ceased the tone of half
apology III which such items used to be
couched- There seems, in fact, quite as
great an admiration and respect for things
American over there as there is here for
things English. Her Point of View in

FRANK HATToN has been visiting his
old home in Iowa. On his return to re-
sumo his duties as editor of the Wash
ingten Post, he was interviewed by a re
porter on the political outlook. In an
swer to the question as to whom be
thought the democrats would nominate
il Cleveland should not be the choice.
He said: "Gov. Boies. of Iowa, with the
boy governor, Russell, Of Massachusetts.
That would be most excellent ticket. /"
Speaking of the situation in his state.
Mr.. Hstton said: Iowa is about lost to
the republican party. The republican
party have done all in their power to throw
the state into the arms OF the democracy
by defeating the Catch bill. The will re-
pent at their leisure, however, for the
next legislature will be democratic, and
one of the first acts will be the selection
Of . democratic United States senator to
succeed Senator Wilson. 1t will be an
easy song and dance play for them. So
far has this demoraliz alton of the party
proceeded, that it is to be feared that the
state will go democratic on q national is.

Fighting the Mole.

Many methods of destroying moles
have been recommended, but few Of
them work successfully. Poisons, such
as bisulphide of carbon, poured into their
holes does not entirely destroy them, but
drives them to new grounds. The only
way is to kill them outright by the traps.
The best traps made for this purpose are
the best means of destroying the moles,
for the sharp thrusts of the steel points
generally kill the animal. They must
be of the best make, however, or they
will fail of their purpose. Another good
way is to watch for the animals, and
when the ground is seen to move to
thrust down a pitchfork and impale the
little fellow. A great many can be kill
ed in this way.

Bursting of Cabbares.

Bursting of cabbages is believed to be
caused by too rapid and vigorous
growth, owing generally to the soil and
season. 1t is not likely to occur in sound
heads after frost. For such as are al
ready affected there is no remedy other
than to pull the plants just enough to
start them and rupture some of the roots
and thus check their growth. This is
said to be useful in such cases.

that any farmer who keeps bees can
make, is described by Ohio Farmer, as
is also the frame in the second cut.
The crossbars for the sections to rest
on are let into the lower edge of the side
boards. The super is made of 15-inch
poplar lumber. If the standard section
"A by Al inches-is used the super must
be A inches deep, and as long and wide
as is most convenient to suit the sections
and the size of hive. The crossbars are
a inch thick by inch wide. 1t is i'm
portant that the crossbar be the proper
thickness. If much more than quarter
of an inch thick there will be likely to
be numerous brace combs between the
super and brood frames The latter
should have thick topbars and spaced
properly in the hive. If more conven-
lent the crossbars can be run lengthwise
of super.
1t is difficult job to make super the
proper size to hold certain number of
sections and have them fit as tight as
they should. To overcome this difficulty
the follower" is used, which is board
just as wide as the sections are deep, and
the proper length to fit inside of the su-
per nicely. 1t is placed against the side
of the sectors and a wedge driven be-
tween it and the side of the super. This
keys the sections together tightly and
prevents the bees from propolizing them
SO much. All the material for this su-
per is found in the farmers workshop,
and it is easily made.
The second cut represents an excellent
arrangement to keep the outside surface
of sections clean. 1t is also very conven-
lent for using separators, as they can be
tackled on the side, and they are always
permanent, and are not likely to be get
ting lost. 1t is also convenient for con-
tracing the supers, toward the end of the
