Europe in 1858.
This insect has become most destruc.
tive upon currants. Early in spring
the four-winged flies emerge from the
tough brown cocoons in which they
have passed the winter, and deposit
rows of small whitish, CLASSY eggs on
the principal veins of the lower leaves
of the currant bushes. In about ten
days small worms hatch and eat cir
cular holes in the leaves, as shown in
the illustration. At first these Larvae
are whitish in color; they soon change
to green, then green with numerous
black spots, and at last back to a plain
light green, with tinge of yellow at
the sides and ends. When full-grown
the larvae spin cocoons beneath the

ABOUT MILK FEVER.

AS Many Cows Die from Strong Medicine
as from the Disease.
The deaths of fine COWS in the last
year seem to have been unusually
large, and while all sorts of remedies
are given, the cows go right on dying,
and the best ones at that. At best the
disease does not seem to be understood.
and it is safe to say that as many COWS
die from the dose given to break up
the fever" as die from the disease it.

feed high, and on through the list to
the last one, gill of coal oil, mixed in
lard, given to the COW each hour for
three times. In the last American we
lind the following that may be as near
the truth as much of the sound" ad-
vice made public.
To prevent milk fever, should a cow
be dried off when she persists in milk
ing all the way through? This is a
very hard question to answer. There
has arisen of late years a new school of
medicine or a new practice, in the old
one that says when p COW is taken
down with milk fever after calving. the
udder should not be entirely MIXED
out but only the excess of pressure
taken off by slight milking. The
philosophy of this, as we have seen il
advocated, is that the glands at that
time are active and ready to 60 tc
work as soon as the udder is empty
and to keep them quiet the uddei
should be left fairly filed. A full uddei
makes no demand upon the system o.
the COW unless it is overcrowded while
an empty udder calls for work on the
part of the milk-secreting glands. Thi.
looks like good logic whether it is gooC

WHAT CHINESE WOMEN DO.
Their Wonderful Embroidery Is as Perfec

Their Wonderful Embroidery Is as Perfect
on One Side as the Other.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
Chinese embroidery is the most remark
able which ever came from human fingers.
Amy lady who has ever attempted en-
broidery understands the difficulty of Civ
ing neat appearance to her work on only
one side of the article embroidered, but the
Chinese embroider both sides, so that by
turning the work it is impossible to detect
difference or to say which is the neater,
and this, too. on material so thin that it
seems impossible to work with it at all.
One of the most peculiar features of piece
of Chinese fancy work is the hem with
which they finish the cut edge.
American ladies fold down a fiat hem and
fasten it with a whip-stitch; the Chinese
roll the edge so as to make cord, and then
hold it in position by blind stitch. The
work is wonderfully delicate, and it is said
to be done by Chinese women working at
what we would consider starvation wages
Whole dresses are embroidered just as
beautifully and with the same regard to de-
tail as the smallest article of luxury or
comfort, and the amount of work done on
one of these large pieces of heavy silk is
simply astounding to one not familiar with
Chinese workmanship.

Caused the Fatal Chicago Boiler Explosion,
Says the Coroner's Jury.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19-Warren Springer,
one of the wealtbiest manufacturers in
Chicago, was held criminally responsible to-
night by Coroner's jury for the death of
five of his workmen in boiler explosion
week ago. A mittimus for Mr.. Springer's
arrest was at once issued. Similar action was
taken in regard to his superintendent, Ed
ward Gallup, the engineer of Springer's
building, Charles Schroeder, and the fire
men. w. H. Cartwright and Martin Lying.
The jury was IN session seven days and took
the evidence of 40 witnesses.
1t was shown that the City Boiler Inspec-
tor had condemned the boiler and had with
held certificate pending certain repairs
which were never made. The fuel used
in the establishment was manure,
netting Springer a saving of $4,000
a year. The investigation will undoubtedly
result in giving the City Inspector power
to enforce his orders by shutting down any
boiler at his discretion. The fact was
brought out that the Inspector is made
quately compensated for his services.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-[ Special lit was
reported to-day that a combination between
the American Strawboard Company and the
Independent Strawboard Company had been
effected, and that the new price list
was substantial advance over the old
one. 1t was learned, however, thas a
combination between the American and
Independent Companies had not been organ
lied. The price of straw-board before the
organization of the American Company
ranged from $50 to $50 ton In the first
price list of that company, the highest price
quoted was S32 80 per ton. The new list of
the American Company shows an increase
on the whole line of S. to So so per ton.
While there has been no combina-
tion in fact, it is believed that an under
standing has been arrived at by which all
the outside mills have agreed to sell on the
list of the American Company. The Amer
lean Company has also withdrawn its re-
bate system.

THE HARRIS MURDER TRIAL.

WIFE SHORTLY AFTER MARRIAGE.

Result of Secret Marriage Against the
Parents wishes-The Christian We'd
ding Was About to BE Celebrated When
the Young Girl Mysteriously Died.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-[s Special 1.-The
trial of Carlyle W. Harris to-day
on the charge of numbering his girl
wife began in earnest Harris
looked as calm as ever, with his
hair parted exactly in the middle and his
glasses carefully adjusted Assistant Dis
trIct Attorney Wellman opened the case for
the people. He gave short sketch frst OF
Harris career.
He said that Harris had been a book agent,
an actor and finally, in the summer of 1889,
he had Just fni shed his first year in the col
lege of physicians and surgeons He was
then living with his mother at Ocean
Grove, where he first met Miss Potts.
Their friendship ripened into intimacy and
was followed by secret marriage and by
the girls death-1S months after Harris had
first met her. Helen kept the fact of her
marriage from her mother
Mr. Weliman then related Helen's visit
to her uncle at Scranton, DR.. Treverton,
to Ocean Grove in the fall in good
time of the secret marriage.
Helen was sent to the Comstock school in
1890, at Harris suggestion. On
January 10 following Mrs. Potts wrote to
him, setting February s, the anniver-
sary of the secret marriage, as
the time for the Christian marriage.
On January 20, Harris said Mr.. Wellman
wrote letter to Mrs. Potts, telling her
that all her wishes would be complied with
if some other way could not be discovered.
On the same day Mr.. Wellman said it
would be proved Harris had the pills of
morphine and quinine compounded at Even
drug store. Several of Miss
Potts schoolmates testified to the manner
IF her death. Mrs. Cynthia S Potts,
she mother Of the dead girl, told
,he story of her daughters acquaintance
with Harris and their marriage and her own
subsequent efforts to get Harris to acknow-
edge the marriage. The examination of
Mrs. Potts will be continued tomorrow.
