eomplished it and developed by means
of bacili disease which not only
" yed easily fatal among the chinch-
but spread with amazing rapidity.
Az his own expense he inoculated num-
bers of bugs with the disease and sent
them forth to scatter it among their fell
lows. Few farmers, however, were suf-
ficiently confident of the new process
and its workings to experiment with it,
The following year many hundreds did
do so, being induced by the local news
papers and glowing circulars sent out
A few score bugs would be gathered and
sent i'll a box to Professor now Chan
cellor) Snow. These would Ice inoculated
and returned, to be Immediately scat
tered i'll the fields, where the ground
was often found fairly black with the
destructive army. The result was a sue
cess i'll 50 per cent of the trials. At the
end of two days hundreds and thou
sands of dead insects would cover the
ground where before was a crawling
mass. Perhaps the range of the strange
but fearfully fatal malady would ex-
tend but few rods around the spot
where diseased bugs were loosed, though
often it spread rapidly over the entire
field. Hundreds of farmers testified
their belief that the infection saved them
half and even the whole of their crop
and the state was unquestionably thou
sands of dollars better off for the re-
markable discovery, while other west
ern states are also gaining benefit there
from.
This year, although the eastern half Of
the state has had so much rain as to ma
terially lessen danger from the bugs, the
demand for infected insects has been
enormous. The chancellor's Office has
had large force of clerks at work con-
stantly, and not until the very last days
of August did the requests cease. Each
recipient of the laboratory's favor was
requested to report his success, and the
vast majority of the reports told of acres
of dead chinchbugs by reason of the
spreading of the disease from infected
insects. In addition, members of the
chancellor's Office force took trips through
various parts of the state to investigate
the results for themselves and found
most beneficial effects, warranting still
larger plans for next year.
Whether the war can be carried to
complete determination OF the pests :s
uncertain. If every farmer would assist,
it might be. AT any rate the damage
can be reduced to minimum and a
saving of from one-third to half of the
states corn crop effected, which is ire
mendous boon to every farmer. The
work next year will reach throughout
the west. G. NJ. HARGER.

Chinese Mouth Organs.

The mouth organ isethe most ear
splitting of all Chinese musical instru-
ments. Those who have attended Chi
nese theater or Chinese funeral have
remarked the sharp, piercing notes of
this instrument. Its sound in nature is
that of the gourd, but it is combina-
ton of the gourd, metal, wood and the
bamboo. This gives to it that unearthly
sound. 1t is the origin of the church
organ, but is made today on the same
style of architecture that it was 9, 200
years before the Christian era-the date
of the origin of Chinese music.

ABILENE, Kan, Sept. 21.vThe labora-
tory of the Kansas state university has
during the past summer presented
curious picture for state institution of
learning. Instead of being Uttered with
manuscripts Of forgotten examinations,
there have been hundreds ON hundreds of
small pasteboard boxes scattered over
desk and floor. Every mail brought
hundreds more, and each departing train
took great cargoes out. During the
busiest time, through July and August,
as many as 5000 were handled each
week. In every incoming and outgoing
box were dozens of tiny black insects
chinchbugs. The laboratory was the
headquarters of regularly organized
war on the little pests, and Chancellor
Snow had the state treasury to draw
upon for needful expenses, a liberal ap-
preparation being at his disposal.
From every neighborhood throughout
the state came voluntary offers of assist
ance in carrying on the battle. The
chinchbug ranks second among the men,

sas, the first being drought. But the
OuS tHIl'SS VII uIOlSuI tlU always HC-
companies it. When the heat of June
and July arrives, the bugs hatch out and
scatter through the wheat, eating the
straw and causing the heads to fall.
When wheat harvest is ended, unless
heavy rains come most OPPORTUNITY, the
corn is attacked. Almost as regularly as
an army they march upon the lusty
green stalks that tower above them,
rustling in the prairie breezes. They
Chamber up the tender bales, and soon
the leaves droop and become yellow,
then dead. 1t is as if q blight had moved
mujestically across the field, laying down
row after row, determined to exert its
might upon every green thing.
SO rapidly did the damage increase
year by year that the farmers grew posi-
lively frightened. 1t seemed as though
the corn raising industry of tho state
must be abandoned, and even wheat
was badly injured in some parts of the
commonwealth. All the time that the

Queer and racy are the tales told of
the skill of the Maine shipbuilders In.
the use of the adze and broadax. One
old-time yarn is of the carpenter who
applied, very drunk, at shipyard for
employment. In order to have little
fun with him the foreman set him to
give proof of his skill by hewing out
wooden bolt with no chopping block.
but stone The carpenter accom-
plished his difficult task without mar

showed the foreman neatly made
bolt. Then he brought the AK down
with terrific blow that shattered it's
edge upon the stone. Il can hew fust--

HOW TO ASSIST THE MEMORY.
The Way ia Which Railway Postal
Clerks Learn the Mail Routes.

The Way ia Which Railway Postal
Clerks Learn the Mail Routes.
The railway postal clerks have a
unique method for learning the routes
on which post offices are located, says
the Philadelphia Record. Take, for ex-
ample, the state of Pennsylvania, in
which there are over five thousand of
fees The prospective mail distributor
buys quantity of blank cards -about
the size of the ordinary visiting card
and ON each of these he writes the
name of an office. On the back of
the card he writes the name of
: the route by which the Office is
served with it's mail. Taking in hand
a pack of these cards-say from fifty to
one hundred-he goes over them one
after another studiously, looking at
the back each time and getting the
name and route clearly associated in
his mind. The second time he goes
through the pack he finds that he
knows half of the routes by reading
the names OF the office. 1t is dull
student who, upon going over a pack
of cards a dozen times, does not know
them thoroughly. The method is so
simple and such an aid to memorizing
that it is adopted by all railway mail
clerks. By it clerks have been known
to memorize state like Pennsylvania
inside of two months.
On all large routes clerks work but
half time, the other half being devoted
to rest and study. The mail clerk at
Of ,.o,r,;r,rr
examinations, carries his cards wher-
ever he goes, coming them over at
every opportunity. One demonstrative
clerk on the New York & Pittsburgh
railroad post Office Is famed for having
learned the state of Ohio In four days.
AS he shuff1ed over his cards he walked
from garret to cellar, and vice versa,
from dawn until the shades of twilight
fell. On the fourth day he went to the
examiners Office and separated Ohio
without an error.
It is related that the wife of a postal
clerk adopted the card method for in
creasing her vocabulary in French. On
one side of the card she wrote the
French word and on the other the Eng
lish equivalent to be learned. Another
lady, hearing of this, used the same
system successfully for learning my
thology, placing the word Mars, for
instance, on one side of the card and
war on the other. The method has
so many advantages over the old and
tedious wayof learning from the pages
Of a book that it might be utilized with
advantage by teachers in search of new
methods of imparting instruction.

r SENSATIONAL GRATITUDE.

Queer Guises.

How 1t Occasionally Manifests Itself In
Queer Guises.
1t appears that an elderly gentleman
from the midland countries travelled up
to London in the spring of 1888 for the
purpose of watching the debutantes on
their way for presentation at Bucking-
ham palace. Being seized in the course
of the afternoon with sudden faintness
he was charitably assisted by a lady
who happened to be standing by him at
the time. He has now died, and has be-
queathed one hundred and fifty thou
sand pounds to the stranger who came
to his rescue In this momentary illness,
says the Brandon Banner.
Sensational gratitude is by no means
SO uncommon as most OF us fancy.
Many years ago now well-known
tradesman started business in very
humble way in the West end His first
Customer was a doctor, and, while
showing the doctor some very delicate
ware, in the nervousness of the mo-
ment. he let it drop, when it was shat
tered instantly into thousand pieces.
Very good-naturedly the doctor took
the Didillc uiJCd llliiiociip pdlQ TOT Ullc
broken article. and made one or two
trihing purchases besides. In due
course this tradesman accumulated a
large fortune, when, calling upon his
first customer, he reminded him of the
incident, and in recognition of his gen
erosity settled one thousand dollars a
year upon him for life.
Strangely enough, there lived only a
short distance higher up in the same
street another wealthy tradesman who
owes the origin of his success to very
similar accident. This man commenced
life as an errand boy, and, while riding
down Ho1born in an omnibus one pour
ing wet day, he surrendered his seat te
an old lady who would otherwise not
have found accommodation. In recog
milton of this act of courtesy she pres
