BILE LUCK.
A Montana Gambler Wins 81, 400 On
"a So Bill.

A Montana Gambler Wins 81, 400 On
"a SO Bill.
ssThe most wonderful luck [ ever
saw man have was in the Combina-
ton at Butte, Mont, about eighteen
months ago." remarked Phil Cusick
of Billings to a party of gentlemen
who were discussing games of chance
yesterday
"An employe at the Boston and
Montana semlter came in, and, hold
ing up 81 bill, announced that he
had big note to meet in Jim Muir
rays bank and was going to win it
out. He said it was for 1888 88, and
he was going to play the eight spot at
faro and nothing else. He seemed to
be well known and every one smiled.
He put copper on his $2 bill and
placed it on the eight spot and it lost
on the the turn. He let the 81 stay
and again the eight lost. He knock
ed the copper off and the eight won.
He put it back and it lost.
"Mind you, this was the result of
four successive turns in the deal. The
player let his $32 remain on the dead
card.
" "'Ain't you afraid somebody'll
cinch you that for sleeper?' inquired
the dealer, jocularly.
" Not muchp was the reply, and
l amt going to touch it Till you make
me draw down or win what want.
''The dealer looked at him, thought
of the chances of splits, Isuppose, and
quietly remarked; 'That goes.
''The very first turn on the next
deal the man coppered the $32 and
the eight lost. He didn't take the
button off and the eight lost out. Mis-
ter man had $712 on the card. The
dealer got up, another took his place.
The man never turned hair and was
as cool as cucumber.
"When the cards were put in the
box everyone expected to see him
knock the copper off. He didn't
touch it. The top card was king.
The dealers fingers trembled as he
pushed it out and you may break me
if the eight of hearts wasn't right un-
der 1t.
I'll 60 over and pay that note
now, said the smelter man, and he
rolled 81 424 in a big wad.
" Pretty good winnin' on $2
stake, amt it? he remarked as he went
out. [ was told that his name was
Bob Reynolds. The Combination
doesn't turn for more than the regular
limit now, no matter who makes a
bluff. Washington News.

"I know, I know-go on with your

"Well, as I was saying, it went on
for a long time like that until Nell and
I got tired. We laid a bet as to which

suggested, most Of which are to be found
in Miss Ormerod's S Manual of Injurious
Insects" 1t is to be noted that the red
spider does not thrive in the presence Of
moisture. Washing(by means Of syringe
or garden cngines) with soft soap and
water or even with pure water is one
remedy. Miss OrmerOd advises banking
around the tree at few feet distant and
few inches high, and filling the space
enclosed with mud made as thin as
would be retained by the raised edge. A
liberal mixture Of fish oil and soft soap
50 as to completely plaster round the foot
of the tree and stick all the wandering
mites fast that touched it, could not fail
to do good at trifing cost. Sulphur is
said to be one Of the most active and ef-
fcient agents in preparations for Destroy
ing red spider, and sulphur and soft soap
combined are among the most reliable
remedies. One pound of -four Of sulphur
and two pounds Of fresh lime Gan all<ali
is necessary for dissolving Of sulphur in
water) boiled in four gallons of water is
a good mixture for washing. Miss Orme-
rod gives the following recipe; three
gallons gas water, one pound of -four
Of sulphur; these to be held over the fire
while being mixed and soft soap added
in such quantity as to make the mixture
adhere. This may be applied to the
branches with brush, or after being
diluted to state in which it is a safe
application, the liquid may be thrown
over the leaves by means Of a garden en-
gine or spraying machine. Probably
fifteen parts water to one Of the mixture
would be about the proportion, but this
should be decided by trial.

Orange Blossoms in the Rivera.

On the Rivera in the month Of May,
when the orange trees bloom, says a cor
respondent of the California Bulletin,
every man and woman, boy and girl, no
matter what he or she has been doing,
picks flowers from thirty to thirty-fve
days or until the season is over. The
smaller villages are deserted during the
day time-their inhabitants are all up
the trees monkey fashion.
The environs of Cannes and Grasse
alone furnish 900 tons annually of orange
blossoms to the perfumery factories
The essence made from the orange bios
SONS is called Neroli, which takes one
kilo of flowers to every gramme, and is
valued at from 400 to 600 francs a kilo.
AS there are 1000 grammes in a kilo it is
possible tojustify this price. Neroli is
exported to America and to all parts Of
Europe. The city of Cologne is said to
order 60, 900 francs worth Of the precious
oil.

Pecans and Gcuppernongs

a Florida writer upon the subject of
associating trees and vines of congenial
habits for the beneficial results which
may accrue to the husbandman says:
"When you plant out your pecan grove,
locating the trees, say forty feet apart
each way, plant the land also to soup
pernong vineyard, the vine rows running
one in each middle and crossing each
other, leaving the young pecan trees
standing in squares twenty feet from the
vines. Trellis out the vineyard in the
usual way along as demanded by the
growth Of the vines. BY the time the
trellising has reached the pecan trees.
the trees will have grown to height con-
Siderably above the trellis and will be
out Of the way, SO that the trellis can be
run directly around them or, if it is
thought they would not be sufficiently
out Of the way by that time, the plant
ing OF the vines might be delayed year
or SO after planting the trees. When
completely trellised over, the whole
plantation would present the novel spec
tacle OF an immense scuppernong arbor
with pecan trees growing up through it,
'"This arrangement would give both
trees and vines all the conditions that
they seem to torequire, presuming of course
that land chosen for the operation was
exactly theright kind. The trees spread
ing above the vines would afford them
such partial shade as the muscadine al
ways appears to seek in its native forest
and the vines mating together beneath
the tree, would supply such underground
and root protection as one invariably
finds the pecan enjoying in its wild state
and native habitat. 1t would be getting
both growths nearer to absolute natural
conditions than has yet been attempted
by art, and it seems to be we'll understood
by advanced agriculturists that the
nearer we can approach nature in our
cultural operations the better it is for the
growth cultivated -
Natures most potent agency in tree
and vine growth exists in an association
OF decOmposed leaves with mulch or sur
face shading. 1t can be readily seen
that the combination proposed would
greatly facilitate that natual condition
by an accumulation beneath the trellis

Another prominent industry in LIE
Caunet, says the same correspondent, is
the manufacture of fruit glace, that is
confections from fruit and flowers. The
correspondent touching on this subject
says:

"Asll permission and perhaps you will
be allowed to follow an apprentice when
one carries tray of flowers out into the
work-room. Shining brass kettles Of all
shapes and sizes hang on the wall over
the great brick stove, and one is on the
fire, full Of bubbling syrup. You draw
your breath as a shower Of fresh petals
is poured ruthlessly into the boiling syr-
up and stirred around with a wooden
spoon like any ordinary jam. When
boiled to a certain point the whole kettle
is removed from the fire, and its con-
tents, which one would never suspect Of
being flowers, are stirred until the sugar
is dry. The next process makes you
quake for the once delicate leaves. They

Red Spider.


The Red-Spider, Tetranychus telarius,
familiar to agriculturists is not true
spider but spinning mite. 1t is dis
tinguishable from the true spider in
into one piece and not merely joined by
an almost thread-lke connection When
mature, the red-spider is oval, furnished
with four pairs of legs, two pointing
backward and two forward the head,
body and abdomen form a solid mass, by
which as before mentioned it is diStin-
guishable from the true spiders which
have the head joined to the body by a fine
stalk; and also from insects which have
the head, body 0horaX) and abdomen
commonly distinct from each other, and
which in their perfect state have never
more than three pairs of legs. The head
is furnished with a beak or sucker by
means of which it draws the juices from
leaves and beneath the abdomen is a
conical protuberance from which the
threads are produced with which it
forms it's web. The color is various; of
transparent yellowish white, orange red,
or brick red, and other tints, depending
as far as present observation shows, on
the color and nature of the food within
and partly also upon the age Of the indi-
vidual as these mites have been noted
as of green color in early life, changing
with maturity to the russet color we are
best acquainted with.
EntomolOgists are not yet agreed
whether there are different species Of
the red spider or whether the pests that
attacks different forms of vegetation are
all varieties of the one specie. Mr.. Muir
ray in his handbook of Economic Ento
mology, thus describes the work of the
mite. On leaves Especially the under
side of them) it finds fit hold and spins
it's web, affixing its threads to the prom
inences and hairs of the leaf; and under
this shelter colony, consisting Of both
sexes, in maturity, and young Of all ages
feed and multiply with rapidity. The
plant soon shows the influence Of their
presence by it's sicllly yellow hue; the
sap is sucked by myriad insect-mouths
from the vessels of the leaf, and its pores
are closed by eXcremental fluids. The
red spider causes enormous damage to
hops in England (where it also attacks
the lime-trees, plum, rose, clover, etc,)in
dry seasons, and it's effect upon the leaves
was until recently attributed to heat and
drouth and was called ''fIe-blast."
These mites which are scarcely discern
able by the naked-eye Except when col
lected togetheD spin their webs over the
stems and branches and beneath the
leaves of infested trees, giving sort OF
glaze or silking lustre to the surface, and
on this web they can travel easily.

edies for, red spider attack have been
