1t will be news to many Cantonians to

the great political economist who met w.
II. Harvey C'CoinD in debate on the
money question in Chicago last Friday
night Is an old Stark county boy. Prof.
Laughlin was born and raised at ALI

brother and sister and went to Harvard.
The faculty said there was something in
him and gave him such assistance as pos.
sible and by attention to work and ener-
gy Laughlin not only paid his way the
first year but made enough to return the
$3.50 he had borrowed.
He finally graduated at Harvard with
honors, became distinguished, was ten

Harvard, accepted, wrote several works
and finally was called to the chair of
political economy at the Chicago Univer-

Said prominent Cantonian the other
dag, "When people drive to the city on q
big day why do they persist in hitching
their horses as near the public square as
possibleY Side streets are empty while
Market street stands full of vehicles
And this Is not the only objection; the
horses frighten; one of these came near
making 1t lively in that vicinity one day
last week and its efforts to run away
scattered people right and left. There
was no one in the carriage and finally the
bystanders quieted the animal. 1t is a
positive cruelty to stand horse in the
midst of strange sights in q crowded
thoroughfare Let us have more room
in the square on the big days coming; let
the horses be hitched on side street in
the shade where they will be comfortable
and every one at peace and in no danger. "

suggested that perhaps the twentigth

FIRE IN THE NEW TEMPLE,

Considerable excitement was caused at the
Odd Fellows Temple this morning about 10
o'clock.
Several women were engaged in cooking in
the rear room down stairs and using gasoline
stove. The gasoline supply ignited and for a
short time the flames shot up half way to the
ceiling.
The room was filled with smoke and a large
crowd was attracted, many persons thinking
the building was on fire.
Vigorous efforts were made to subdue the
flames, and the fire was put out without much
damage resulting. The fire department was
not called. Those in the room were very bad.

is constitutional but an amendment
might be made enabling congress to pass

have such a hold on politics it would be
pretty hard to get legislation. The old

MASSAGE FOR BLACK EYES.
Better Than Paint and Beefsteak for Ob- nterating Evidence of Fistic Encounter.

Better Than Paint and Beefsteak for Ob-
 Hterating Evidence of Fistic Encounter.
 Those who make a business of oblit- erating evidence of fstic encounters in the shape of black eyes by painting the damaged optics no longer enjoy mon opoly of such business. This l was told by pugilissic acquaintance whose experience entities him to be regarded as an authority on the subject, says writer in the New York Herald.
 Massage treatment of the region af- fected," he said, twill beat paint and raw beefsteak all hollow. But it should be applied immediately after the in- jury is received in order to prove thoroughly efficacious. It does not re- quire an expert to do it. All that is necessary is to move the fingers rapidly and firmly over the bruised surface, and to keep it up until the last vestige of discoloration has disappeared. The explanation is easy. Where the blow has been received the blood becomes congested. It is the clots of blood showing through the transparent skin that produces the black effect. The pressure of the fingers gradually loosens the clotted blood, which passes off into the general current of circula- ton, and fresh and properly eolored blood takes it's place."
 However, as a rule, the professional ''pug" does not bother himself about accelerating the disappearance of black eye. It is sign which proclaims the fact that it's proprietor has recently filled an engagement, and as such he is an object of envy to his less fortunate brethren. It is the man about town, whose overindulgence occasionally causes him to forget that discretion is the better part of valor, who is apt to profit most by the knowledge that mas sage, promptly applied, will remove the signs of mourning from an eye that has been in violent contact with some other fellows fist, and thus obviate the neces- sity of inventing story to account for it, which, however ingenious, will be sneered at by skeptical and incredulous acquaintances. some of whom may have | ''been there themselves"

SINUATE PEAR BORER.
Views og Prof. Smith, of the New Jersey
 Experiment Station.


 In the spring of 1894 I received com plaints from some farmers near Irving ton, Essex county, N. J., of borer that was injuring pear trees. Personal investigation showed the presence of an insect heretofore entirely unknown to me, and of which I had not seen any notice in American literature. It was beetle larva, and obviously belonged to member of the genus Agrilus, an allay of the 1arva producing gals on blackberry and raspberry canes; but no member of the genus was known to attack fruit trees in the eastern United States. found that in the entire lrv- ington and Hilton district, several miles in extent, all the pear trees were more or less infested and were sickly- evidently dying off.
 | The bark on these trees showed 1 peculiar dark, somewhat depressed l lines, and was sometimes cracked. | Slicing off a section down to the sap wood, found broad, shallow burrows or channels, partly in the bark and partly in the wood, dry and brown in | dust and frass. These channels were very irregular, zigzagging from side to side, but not evenly; sometimes form ] ing long bend to one side and short one to the other, or again reversing this. Not enly the trunks, but the larger branches were attacked, and later I found that even nursery trees, or those just set out, did not escape. i Following the course of the burrow. the culprit would be found in the shape of a white, fattened larva, varying from half an inch to an inch or more in length, the anterior segment very much enlarged, the following two decidedly smaller, and beyond that the joints were moreover, but always strongly marked the last ending in a pair of little brown curved points or hooks. Wher ever these larv@ were numerous the tree sickened from the interruption tt the flow of sap, and in the course time, as the borings met, the girdlins became complete, and the tree died.
 Further investigation resulted in the discovery of the adult beetle, which is bronze-browni in color, very slender, and about one and one-third inch in length This proved eventually to be Agrilus sinuatus Olivier, European species which had not been previously found

 in the United States. It is known in France and Germany as a serious pest to pear trees, and it's life history had been only recently made out in the lat ter country. We had to do then with an imported pest, and I found later that it was brought over in pear stocks about ten years ago
 The beetle makes its appearance about the middle of May, flies only in the hottest sunshine, and lays it's eggs in the bark some time in June. Early in July the very minute larv@ may be found in the sap-wood, and they feed until winter, becoming by that time about three-quarters of an inch in length. Feeding is resumed in spring and continues until September, when the larva is from one and one-quarter to one and one-half inches in length. It then bores into the solid wood about one-quarter of an inch and forms a cell, in which it rests until March or April, when it changes to a pupa, and soon afterward to beetle. Thus the larva feeds two years in the trees, and during that time forms channels from six to eight inches in length.
 So far as I have been able to aScer- tain, the insect is still confined to east ern New Jersey, not extending south below Elizabeth, but said to extend northward into New York state. l i have no evidence of it's presence in the states of the central west, but pear growers who have found it should sc 1 report This is an insect that spreads slowly; but it will undoubtedly spread, and it behooves growers to be on the | lookout for it.
 As te the remedies to be adopted nothing very definite caA be said. IT Europe sitting the bark is recon mended, and this has been done witt some success by some of the New Jer sey growers. In France it is suggested | that the trees be protected by covering the trunks with straw, which is to bt afterward coated with coal tar. IT Germany mixture of COW dung ant clay, formed into paste and plasterej on the trunks, is advised, the mass t be kept in place by bandages of somt cheap fabric.

Rubbers for Dogs.

Rubbers for dogs are the newest products of civilization. The street car companies strew salt to melt the snow and this makes the feet of dogs sore. Butthese canine rubbers arc high priced and each dog needs two pair. In the Arctic zone the toes of dogs that are used to pull sleds are protected by a sort of leather toe piece fastened with thongs.
