The Missions Ozone UP"

The Mission Bowling club saw
and was vanquished yesterday.
The team went to New Braunfels,
a German town about thirty miles
north of San Antonio, early yester-
day morning, to give the Braun
felsers few pointers on the art of
knocking the pins. But the
Braunfels bowlers don't need any
pointers from their San Antonio
neighbors, as the results Of the
contest will show.
Two games were played. The
first resulted in victory for New
Braunfels by score of 265 to 246
and the second game was won by a
score Of 32l to 2S5.

Atlanta Constitution.
The civil war cost the North 81, 000,-
100000. The pensions since have
amounted to 1900, 900, 600.
But this is not all. At the present
time, nearly thirty years after the
close Of the war, 100000 more persons
are drawing pensions than there were
Union troops in the field at any single
time during the struggle, and 100000
applications remain to be acted upon.
Already, our pension expenses exceed
those OF all the other nations of the
earth.
Where will it end :? What will the
war between the States finally cost
us?
In 1851 the total value of all the
property in the States that seeded
was 81, 600, ,OOO,O 900. The New Orleans
Picyune suggests that in view of the
enormous expense Of the war it would
have been more economical If the
North and South would have settled
their differences on cash basis. 1t
would have saved billions Of dollars
and hundreds of thousands OF lives II
the North had secured the emancipa-
tion of the slaves by paying full price
for the entire 100000 of them.
When we get through paying for it
history will record the fact that our
civil war was the most expensive con-
flict in ancient or modern times.

Diseases of fruit Trees.

The late DR.. Phares, who was q pro-
fcssOr in the agricultural college Of
Mississippi, and man of good learn
ing and experience, wrote as follows
Of the insect enemies which fruit
growers nowadays have to contend
with:
1t seems to me there should be no
great mystery that in Mississippi, in
late years, the trees die out, bear lit
tie fruit, and that OF inferior kind.
Nor is it necessary to seek imaginary
causes and fanciful explanations when
the real causes are so palpable to
everyone xhO will he at the pains to
see them. Fifty years ago our lands
were new and rich but now poorer, es-
pecially in humus, potash and phOs-
phOrOus. Then we had few species OF
insects, and these limited IN individ-
uals, attacking our trees. Our trees
then needed but little care for their
health and usually received none. A
fruit tree was planted and received no
more attention afterward than If on
an island never visited by man.
Now we have insects assailing our
fruit trees every month in the year.
We have sixty species working on the
grape, eight on the ounce, forty-six
on the cherry, twenty-five on the
peach, forty-hye on the plum, thirty
seven on the pear, and eighty-One on
the apple, some eating the roots, 9TH
ers the trunk and branches, others
the leaves, buds, fruit and seeds. AS
orchards have increased in numbers
these insect destroyers through neg
lect have increased still more rapidly
innumbes, while new species have
been imported.
No doubt Mr.. Lambert himself inn
ported with his foreign trees some
species new to Mississippi, and many
others have been brought from our
northern States and other countries.
Many new species have been imported
with new varieties Of the orange, and
that is now infested by thirty-twO
species Of enemies.
Nor is this all. Many species Of mi
crophytes, have been introduced, car
rying decay and death to our fruit
trees by black knot, blight and other
fungous maladies.
The burnt" appearance Of the
blooms, lack of pollen, rotting fruit,
short life of trees, find sufficient ex-
PLANTATION in the hosts Of insects and
microphytes mentioned.
1t Is evident that we can have good
fruit and plenty of it only by ceaseless
vigilance, untring warfare on the
hosts of enemies, study Of vegetable
physiology and soils, wise restoration
of needed plant food to the soil and
industrious, intelligent cultivation.

Not by a great deal, IL she knows
how to handle it properly.
Do men like nice old maids?
Silly young men don't.
What men do? -
Sensible men.
Why don't they marry them then d?
Some do, and some would be glad to,
but the old maids are content to let
well enough alone.
Does an old maid run more risk in
marrying than young one does?
She is more likely to get Il better
man than young one is, but she is
less adaptable: and even the best man
may prove irksOme to her, except un-
der favorable circumstances.
Why?
She has been free too long.
How do you mean?
She has had only one PERSONS wishes
to consult. When a woman marries
and tries to conduct her married life
simply by consulting her own wishes
she stands chance of butting her
head up against several stone walls.
Isn't the life of an old maid very
lonely?
Not if she tries to make it other
wise.
How can she?
by keeping in the sunny side and
letting the roses bloom in her heart
and the blue sky show in her face.
Won't wrinkles cast shadows after
awhile?
Never.
Why not -?
Because the wrinkles are human and
the sunshine is divine.
You would make her the subject OF
a poem, would you?
She is poem-
Sentimental or otherwise
Mostly otherwise; one of those
poems you happen on in newspapers
Unexpectedly, and cut out for future
reference.
But if every man thought thus
would there be any old maids :?
1t takes two to make bargain.
They are not so nice when the,
want to marry, are they?
A man needs an accident polio!
when that kind comes around.
Why does that make such differ
ence?
It's against Scripture.
How?
The Scripture says, "Thou shat no
covet," or words to that effect.
The nice old maid is the flower o
the flock?
She's daisy.

THE POSTPONED BRIDE.
That Is to Say, the Old Maid or the I'm
married Woman.

New York Sun.
DO you see the lady?
/ do see the lady.
Who is she?
She is Miss SomebOdyorother.
Why not Mrs.
Because she has no Mr.. attachment.
You mean she has no husband?
! mean she Is unmarried; which is
somewhat more comprehensive.
She is independent of men, then?
As independent as women ever are.
Aren't they all so?
They want to be; or they say they
do.
Don't women always say what they
mean?
Not always.
How Is IL in this instance?
This one Is rich; and rich unmar-
ried woman can say and do what she
pleases regardless OF the men to a
great extent.
She could marry, then, II she so de-
sired?
Oh, yes money is quite attractive
to most men seeking wives.
Can't a poor woman marry II she
wants to?
The woman doesn't live, l fancy,
who has not had proposal Of mar
riagc some time In her life.
Then why doesn't she marry?

1t is not often that a young lady
prefers death to marriage. However,
Lucy Seton, Of Vidalia, H., commit-
ted suicide rather than wed. She
took the arsenic route and left a note
stating the songs she wanted sung ut
her funeral and naming the minister
she desired to officiatc. She was but
- years of age.

Parsley was used by the Greeks as
a funeral plant. ITO be In need of
parsley" was a common euphemism
for death. On one occasion Greek
army was marching out on Il cam
D ign, when four mules laden with
parsley were encountered. The whole
army was panic stricken and refused
to go any further.

Mrs. Maybrick seems to be fated.
Secretary Asquith, to whom applica-
tiOn for her release was made, has re-
fused to lberate her. He will not
even reopen her case. The latter step
would have given Mrs. Maybrick an
opportunity to introduce evidence to
prove that her husband commonly
used morphine and arsenic.
