NUMBER OF BRooDs AND HIBERNATION.
As to the number of broods, nothing
additional need be mentioned at this
time. The question of Information,
however, demands special considera-
ton, and steps must be taken to de-
termine more definitely the facts.
Your agent, unfortunately, has been
located in regions not especially in
tested, and it transpires that owing to
the Scarcity of adults at any season, in
the localities under observation, that
alternating specimens would be rar,'ly
| found.
There is no question but that many
pupm do not issue in the fall, but re-
main as such over winter. Many of
these even enter the pupa state as early
as the middle or latter part of Septem-
Der and remain quiescent until April or
May. The decided overlapping of the
broods from the beginning of the sea-
son is thus easily explained, for doubt
less the alternating moths appear
earlier than those issuing from the
pup@ if the spring.
Observation proves. beyond doubt,
that great majority of the destructive
brood on cotton in August and Sep
TENDER issue as images before the
close of the season. The facts also
prove that instead of the number of
worms which might rightfully be ex-
pected from these images to appear in
greatly-increased plumbers, absolutely
appear in decreased numbers This indi-
Gated that some of the moths of this
brood were bent upon Information and
refrained from depositing at this time
Indeed, the facts disclosed by the latest
! observations warrant the assertion that
many of the images, resulting from this
destructive brood, hibernate. The ma
iority OF the worms spoken OF in previ-
Gus reports. as found so late In the sea-

HIS CHALLENGE TO THE WORLD

The orator had nailed with irreprOach-
able skill the usual lumber of lies pro-
mulgated by the Glow opposi-
ton" With glowing logic he had up
held the undying principles of his own
party.
"And now" he exclaimed, his voice
penetrating to the remOtest corner of the
room, 81 come to the defence of my own
record"
The audience stirred uneasily while
the orator swallowed glass of water.
"Who can lay aught at my door of
which need be ashamed?"
He glared in all directions successfully.
"Who is there to accuse me?" he
Numbered.
A man without a coat or vest, who had
been sitting thoughtfully on the back of
a chair, rose to his feet.
SIS it true that you steal sheep?' he
inquired.
The man without coat or vest looked
significant and resumed his seat on the
back of the chair.
"Any further remarks?' shouted the
orator.
An individual with tobacco on his
shirt struggled to the front.
SIS there any foundation for the story
that you sent your grandmother to the
poorhouse to get her propertyP' he
asked.
"The story is, in the main, correct"
The individual with tobacco juice on
his shirt front sneaked into obscurity.
81 should like to hear from Others"
announced the orator defiantly.
A party whose breath humanity sedu-
ously avoided, climbed upon the stage.
Did you actually murder your father,
to save the expense of keeping him?" he
demanded.
81 did"
The party with the pestilential breath
laughed harshly and lost himself in the
crowd.
ANY more?'
The orator thrust his hand grandly in
to the bosom of his coat and waited. No
one spoke.
"Gentlemen-"
His manner was terribly earnest.
"These are sins Of the head rather
than of the heart. | challenge the world
to truthfully accuse me of sin of the
heart"
After deafening applause the band
played q patriotic air and the meeting
was declared adjourned.-DetrOit Tri-

''Maybe might like it, chiruped the
other. She clapped her hands gleefully
and left the room.

comment of the chaperon.

the line of cOats?"
"They are full Of detail" said the
other interestedly. "The haudsomest
coats are made of a combination velvet
and cloth, trimmed with fur and en-
broidery. The sleeves are enormous.
The coats are usually three-quarter
length. Some are adorned with long
ribbons"
"H-m-mm

eron, smiling and displaying pearly
teeth, that l am not entirely posted.
Have you the time to see some dress
maker while you are in the city? Shall
give you an address or two?"
"Thank you very much"
"There," said the chaperon, as the
other departed, 'now l wonder how the
average clerk would deal with such
ladies and such questions"
"You would be surprised" said the
chaperon to the reporter, Ito see how
helpless most women are, especially
about public matters and this is es-
peclally true as to the women who are
on their first trip to New York. Every
thing interests them. They want to ask
questions of all sorts, from time tables
to the latest play at the theatres. But
they are so kind and considerate about
it, that it really does my heart good to
answer their questions. The new ar
rivals, too, are the ones most anxious to
conceal the fact and try TO make me be-
lieve that they are old-timers in Goth

Usually by their questions as to the

vel to strangers, l tell you. 1t is the
first thing a woman on her first trip to

ing the chaperon:

cable was laid?'-N. Y, Recorder.

TIE SLAVES VENGEANCE.

The night was sultry one in mid
summer. Every guest had departed
from the Viajo bungalow, whence they
had come to the wedding fete of Nojola,
daughter of one of the wealthiest plant
ers in the West Indies; and now down
the long avenue of oleander and orange
trees went Kahba, slave boy, extin-
gushing the lights that softly starred the
foliage, giving to the scene book of
fairyland.
AS he turned toward the vista of
Towering exotics thanking marble
paved corridor on the east side of the
pretty bungalow, he could see brilliant
flood of light streaming from the win
dows of the bridal chamber, which were
open, the night being warm almost to
suffOcatiOn. A strange gutteral sound
burst from him, and he shook as with a
sudden chill as he paused behind the
shrubbery to gaze unObserved upon the
picture presented within one of the deep
easements.
Upon divan reclined young girl en-
veloped in her bridal robes, the dead
wilderness of which contTasted strongly
with her black hair, clear olive skin and
glorious dark eyes. At her feet in an
attitude of rapt devotion, knelt fair
haired man with noble cast of features,
whose voice held an ineffably caressing
accent as he said
'Noyola, my little wife! Mine now, for
everr'
He took one of her unresisting hands
and covered it with kisses, then buried
his face in the folds of her dress in an
abandonment of happiness.
NOyola, bending her head until her
black tresses mingled with the gold,
touched his forehead with her lips.
'Ah, my love-" she whispered, "would
! could tell you all that is in my heart!
There is weight of joy there that is al
most pain, yet l can find no expression
in words. Chauncy," she added with n
sudden moisture in her eyes, ''yOu may
some day grow weary of me because | am
unlike the woman you have been accus-
toned to. l am not eloquent. /"
He closed her lips with his own.
"My darling" he said, holding her
close to his heart, "when l compare you
with the worldly creatures of whom you
speak, it is then that / love you most;
near them you are like the dove beside
the falcon. OIL"
He started, putting Noyoll from his
embrace with such violence that she ut
tered an alarmed cry.

POISONED BY sCROFULA.

Is the sad story of many lives made mis-
cradle through no fault of their own.
Scrofula is more especially than any 9th
err a hereditary disease, and for this sim
pie reason: Arising from impure and in
sufficient blood, the disease locates its
elf in the lymphatics, which are com
posed of white tissues; there is period
of f9tal life when the whole body con-
sists of white tissues, and therefore the
unborn child is especially susceptible to
this dreadful disease. But there is a
remedy for scrofula whether hereditary
or acquired. 1t is Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which by its powerful effect on the blood
expels all trace of the disease and gives
to the vital fluid the quality and color of
health. If you decide to take Hoods
Sarsaparilla do not accept substitute.

She Really Kno Wa 1t ALL

There is new departure in the hotel
line-and that is the lady clerk or hotel
chaperon.
| CHANGED into the parlor of one of
New York's biggest hotels the other day
and saw lady guest in earnest CONVEX
sation with matronly-looking person
age, who wore a black apron and black
cap. The guest said:-
II want to know about the train to So
and-so.'
II viii tell you," said the lady clerk,
thumbing the guide. ut leaves at I
o'clock tonight"
"And the depot?"
The lady retired and the next moment
up came a stout woman, who sald:-
Are you the hotel chaperon? If so, l
want advice"
II will do anything can for you, said
the other woman.
"Well, it is this: want opera house
tickets. l do not know exactly what
theatre ought to 90 to, though"
"What kind of plays do you like?"
Tragedy"
81 will take care of you" The lady
chaperOn touched the button. To the
boy who appeared she said:-.
Get me seats tonight for the best
tragedy in town; hurry, please"
After the stout lady had retired had
opportunity to question the hotel chape-
ron. She said:
Eyes, it is an unique position. Like
it? Well, rather. You see, it was insti-
tued to help the ladies out. 1t is pri-

The next visitor was a tail, slender
girl, stylishly clad, who asked to be dl-
rected to the art galleries. The infor
nation given, the girl withdrew as gay
as lark.
81 want to know what the ladies are
wearing in the line of hats" came the
next poser. 1t was from woman who
had come into New York from the
West, and who said she was looking fol

A HALF AND HALF,

A small pupil in one of our schools
stood before her teacher at the recess
with the half of an apple in each hand.
(which half is the biggest, Miss H-?"
Her teacher was in a mood to be criti-
cal and answered.:
"a half is half, whether it's half of
an apple or half of the world. So, you
see, if your apple is cut exactly in half
one must be just the size of the other"
The eyes of the little pupil filled with
tears as she heard this scholarly conclu-
sion. But she still held out the two
"halves" of her apple, although her lit
tie hand trembled.
81 didn't mean it that way, teacher"
she said, sweetly, II want you to have
the biggist half"
"Thank you, my dear" said the
teacher, who suddenly discovered that il
took very little learning to be geuerou:
and thoughtful Free Press.

"what is it, ChauncyP" she asked.

"What is it, ChauncyP" she asked.
Something struck me-" And as he
spoke, the young husband brushed his
hand over his cheek. 'See, Noyola, am
wounded"
Eyes, there is blood" said Noyola,
looking with anxious eyes upon the red
stain. The next instant she sprang from
the divan. "Oh, Chauncy," she cried,
pointing toward the alcove, "there is a
vampire bat. 1t must have been that
which wounded you. 1t is an evil omen
See-now it has gone! Oh, fear our
happiness may 90 as soonW
my darling" Chauncy said, taking
her in his arms, ''you must not be super
stitious. We are married now, and can
defy evil omers. Eli, my pet?"
She strove to answer him confidently,
but the obtrusive tears would come to
check her utterances; these, however,
were soon dried, and she was able to lift
a smiling face to his again.
Little did either of them guess that
outside, beyond the marble corridor, and
concealed the foliage of trumpet vine,
crouched the slave boy, Kahba, who had
caught the vampire and thrown it toward
his mistress chamber. He had laughed
to see the creature fly Obediently through
the window, and was scarcely able to re-
