A Growing Use for EntomOiOgists
in Agricultural Districts. @t-
New York World. - -
The Colorado potato beetle is prac-
tically under the thumb of Paris green.
The codhng moth, whose larvae infest
Our apples, is readily controlled by
spraying the trees with the same poison
at the proper season. So with many
other pests of the farmer and fruit
grower. But, as Prof. Riley estimates
that one-tentE of our agricultural prod
ucts is annually ruined by insects, it is
evident that plenty OF work remains to
be done in this direction. Il
The total annual loss from insects in
the United States is placed by the best
chronological authorities at about $780,
100000. AS the entOmologists of the
various state agricultural experiment
stations and of the national depart
ment of agriculture pursue their in
veStigationS further this enormous loss
will be greatly reduced.
When their labors become better
known and appreciated their oppor-
tunities for work, as we'll as the means
at their disposal, will be increased.
Many more hands and brains will be
needed to do the work, and young men
and women trained In entomology will
be called for as assistants.
Most of the states have now estab-
lished agricultural experiment stations.
and at the majority of these an snto-
mologist is busily at work on his spe-
cialty. Same of the agricultural colleges
give courses in economic entomology,
and as the farmers learn to better ap-
preeiate its money value to them they
will devote more and more time to its
study.
The implements needed for the col
lection and study of insects are few and
inexpensive. For young persons whose
happiness lies in outdoor life and the
study of nature no department Of
natural science offers a more inviting
and promising field than applied ento-
mology.

VERY MUCH ENGAGED.
Arrest of Woman Who Has
Swindled Many Would-Be
Benedicts.
Morris Ficks, Of HalIOck, Minn.,
Contributed $50 to Her
Purse.

NEW YORK, June 1O.-The postoffice
inspectors In the federal building were
much Interested this afternoon in the
announcement from Albany of an i'm
portant arrest. During the past six
months the postotfce inspectors here
have received numerous complaints
from all over the country, par
ticularly the West and South, from
would-be benedictS about the manner
in which they had been sWindled by a
woman who had by letter promised
every one of them to marry them. The
alleged swindler was arrested yester
day at Albany and held in bonds. She
is Emma Waters, alias Jessie E.
Rivers. AS the love-making by letter
continued and the point was
reached where she was to start out to
meet her would-be husband she
would write requesting some money
to purchase goods, and in response she
invariably received sums varying from
$50 to Sl00. That is the last the would
be husband would hear of her or the
money. Inspector Jacobs, who gave out
the story at the postoffice this afternoon,
said that she was in the habit of receiy-
ing from thirty to fifty letters each day.
The particular complaint upon which
she was arrested was made by Morris
Ficks. of Hallock, Minn., who says he
was duped out of $50 by her.

scarcely two weeks, yet it has already

Thursday the Chicago special was dis

Tomorrow two more trains will be dis

thar the Lake Shores, for it was only
put into effect on Sunday last. Tomor-

A six-year-old Gentleman.

American children are to often nui-
sances, owing to the indulgence of parents
who love not wisely, but too well. Undis-
ciplined at home, they are insuTerable
abroad and add new terror to republic
an institutions, and on them depends
the salvation of our country. But, thank
heaven, there are exceptions to whom /
thankfully turn. thinking with gratitude
Of fathers and mothers who love their off
spring with profound wisdom. There
comes to me the memory of such child
as gave full meaning to Christs words.
I never looked into his lovely face,
beaming with sweet intelligence, that he
did not make me think of heaven and
rejoice that so fine spirit walked the
earth. No man, woman or child ap-
preached this boy without feeling his

Pathetic Heroisln.

A pathetic heroism was that shown by
a woman, o devoted wife and mother.
whose life, after months Of invaidism,
went out In this first month Of the new
year. It had been the intention Of her
self and husband to redecorate the home
about the time her illness declared itself,
and when last autumn it became evident
that not much mere time among the
things Of this world would be accorded
to the sufferer she decided that the work
should be carried forward under her su-
pervision. Her illness was of nature to
permit her to be up and about few
hours every day, and during these strong
er moments artists and decorators con-
suited with her, carrying out her wishes
in every detail.
From garnet to cellar the home was
gone over, and the family spent their last
united Christmas in their beautifully rem
oyated home. "You will be glad by and
by,n said this wise and loving woman,
whose artistic soul must have painfully
appreciated the lcysliness she had GREAT
ed only to leave; "glad that I did 1t all,
and twill DO comfort to live surround

husband and sons and daughters, who
