Why !ns,csS infest Plants.

The observations and experiences Of a
long life devoted to horticulture lead mo
to the conclusion that insects never at
tack plants or trees unless the same
have had some check or shock
in some way that has impaired
or injured their vital power, writes
John SAIL, OF Washington, D. c.,
in an essay before the American florists.

A welcome Change.

There used to be a few years ago
such a Juror about elOcution that
when people met on the street in
stead Of asking each other How do
YOU do?' the usual senseless form Of
address, they inquired, GLOW do you
elucute?" Men and women paid fab
Gus prices to be allie to read one or
two selections with facial contOrtions
that were supposed to illustrate the
text, and the pleasing exhibition OF a
reader trying to make his features
cxpress the surface of a landscape
garden were offered to the public.
Then came new Interpretation
called the art OF expression which
was sensible and artistic. Still there
was one fatal defect. The pupil
could read her selection for which
face and voice were both trained, but
she could not pick up book at ran
dom and read any page aloud with
tho meditation Of voice and soul OF
expression demanded By the subject.
She could do nothing without her
lines.
Now this bids fair to be remedied
by the new education which begins
with the child and teaches 1t to "elo-
cute gracefully, without the tricks
OF elocution; to begin the career OF
instruction with the art OF express
sion instead Of bringing it in as
postgraduate accomplishment.
Among the many complicated studies
OF the public schools, surely the art
OF good reading should be so well
taught that there would be no need
Of a supplementary course.-Freo

A VARIETY OF FODDER CROPS.

A more liberal production Of nutri'
tious fodder crops, aside from Indian
oeru, to be raised on the farm aud fed
ia connection with purchased commercial
feed stufTs, is urged by Director GOesi-
man, of the Massachusetts Station, As an
efficient means to increase the general
productiveness OF Eastern farm lands
and also to cheaper the cost of feel for
all kinds OF farm live stock. The in
PRODUCTION Of greater variety OF fodder
plants will enable farmers to meet better
the differences in local conditions OF
climate and soil, as well IS the special
wants of different branches of farm in-
dustry.
Taking this view of the question, the
great aud valuable family Of leSuminous
plants, az cloverS, vetches, lucerne, ger
radslis, peas, beans, lupiue', etc, is in
a particular degree well qualified for that
purpose. These plants also deserve
decided recommendation IN the interest
Of wider range tor the introduction OF
economical systems Of rotation of crops,
uuder various conditions Of soil aud
different requirements of markets.
NOat Of these fodder plants have an
extensive root system, and for this reason
largely draw their plant food from the
lower portion OF the soil. The amount
Of stubble and roots they leave behind
after the crop has been harvested is eE.
ceptionally large aud decidedly improves
both the physical and chemical condition
Of the soil. The lands are thus subse-
quently better fitted for the production
Of shallow growing crops, As grains, etc.
Large productions Of fodder crops assist
10 the economical raising Of general
farm crops; although the area devoted
to cultivation is reduced, the total yield
Of tie laUd is usually more satisfactory.

Bahama OF q Treasury Girl

All kinds OF stories come from the
national capital, and here Is one OF
the most unique and not the least
interesting that Is receiving general
circulation. The heroine's name Is
not given. Twelve years ago this
lady came a poor innocent girl TO
Washington and went to work In the
Treasury. To her each day came the
old and battered currency and bank
bills, and 1t was her business to de-
stroy them; the destroyed money be-
ing substituted ty brand new bills
Well, this innocent young girl cont
cocted a scheme. She began to cut
the good pieces out Of the bills before
they we're given over to their DOOM.
She cut an end from one, an end from
another and the middle from another.
From some bllls-and always, under
stand. from a one hundred dollar or
a one thousand dollar bill-she cut
the figures. Just how she pasted
sewed or joined these pieces together
no one seems to know. With all the
rest she made frequent brief visits to
Canada. giving some trivial, good ex-
cuse. IL is assumed now, to get rid OF
her money.
1t is stated that this ingenious
woman kept up her clipping and
moneymaklng for years. One day,
after twelve years Of service, she sud
denly fell i'll and did not come 30 her
desk. The sub detailed TO do her
work, found a package Of bills the
lady had been working at the day be-
fore. with telltale clippings and
notches thereon. So the cat emerged
from the bag after many years The
lady lost her place and no effort was
ever made to prosecute her. Whether
Others were engaged in the specula-
ton, OF she played a lone hand, no
one seems clear upon After she was
out and the Government breathing
easier IL was discovered that her be-
longings in real estate and otherwise
amounted to over three hundred
thousand dollars. Not a bad bank
for a woman who had worked and
knew the value Of dollar.
