SMUT IN OATS.
what IL liz and Some Remedies Em-
ulOyed

##t H
Black or loose smut, is a disease
affectii = the kernel OF wheat and
other reals, and is caused by a mi
croscol !c plant of a somewhat differ
ent ma ss,re from rust, known as Ustila-
go Fri tci.
In black smut the whole kernel, and
even tie chaffy parts, are u to a
ulack aowder. The black powder is
the fruiJing stage of II smut. n Is
composed Of myriads Of spores. These
spores are blown about by the wind
and fall on the ground, where they are
ready TO infect a succeeding crop.
More or less remain sticking to the I'M
infected berries, which, when the seed
Is sown, causes the disease again.
The remedy is obvious and complete.
Sow on ground not previously infected
and SOW seed which has not com in
contact with the smut, or SOW with
seed on which the smut has been
killed.
The following methods are recon-
mended by some experimenters, but
teir efficacy is denied by others:
Generally speaking, the infected
seed uay be practically, if not entire
iy, freed from the disease. The meth
DDS used consist in soaking the seed
In certain solutions, or simply In hot
water. The most common solutions
are a saturated solution of common
salt and a ) per cent solution of cop
per sulphate. The grain should be
placed in sacks or baskets and these
put into the solution and allowed to
stand from twenty-four to thirty-six
hours, when the wheat should be
spread out to dry.
More recently the Danish Investigate
or, Jansen, has introduced the method
of soaking the grain in water at the
temperature of 12T to 1873 degrees,
Fahrenheit, for five minutes. American
experimenters recommend fifteen min

Some say that the hypo-
phosphites alone are sufficient
to prevent and cure consump-
ton, if taken in time. With
out doubt they exert great
good in the beginning stages;
they improve the appetite, pro-
mote digestion and tone up
the nervous system. But they
lack the peculiar medicinal
properties, and the fat, found
in cod-liVer oil. The hypo-
phosphites are valuable and
the cod-liver oil is valuable.

And as the audience dispersed that
night it seemed to Mr.. Freelance, as he
stood alert and watchful in the lobby,
that there was but one name on every
tongue, and that Kitty's sweet face and
infantile art had made their way into
the very heart of an always tickle public.

HE FELT SOME ONE TUGGING AT HIS COAT.
as she was, she was enough of an artist
to appreciate the Importance of keeping
a restraint on herself and not OVERRIDING
her role.
She was looking forward to a certain;
scene in the last act-a scene which she
had rehearsed with much delight, and
in which she firmly expected to make
great impression. Billy, who had been
waiting with some anxiety for the same
scene, came down and took seat in
proscenium box, and as the child stood
in the wings waiting for her cue she
saw him smiling encouragement to her.
The scene represented a barren, wave
washed rock near the coast Of Ireland,
and on this rock was standing the vir-
tuous heroine, just where she had been
left by the villain. The lights grew
dim, the moon arose from beyond the
scene, and the Philadelphia quartet,
stationed behind the scenes, warbled
plaintive Irish melodies.
Must I die here alone?" moaned the
heroine as the tide rose higher and
higher about the rock on which she
stood and heavy clouds began to gather
above her head. And just at this mo-
ment, a fowboat, propelled by childish
arms, came swiftly around the rocky
point at the left of the stage, and Kitty
Sullivan, throwing aside the oars, stood
up in the boat with her foot on the
PROV and exclaimed in clear, infantile
treble, II have come to save you for the
sake of old Ireland"
Commonplace as it was, with its old,
well worn melodramatic effects of soft
music and moonlight, nevertheless the
situation had taken strong hold ON the
audience, and the sudden appearance of
the sweet faced child, who had charmed
every one during the earlier portions of
the play sont distinct thrill through
the entire house, and then came such an
outburst Of spontaneous applause as had
not been heard in the Jollity theater for
many year.
Even Billy Freelance felt a touch of

last tear from her cheek as she ran, and
Barney said approvingly, "That's the
best deed you'll ever do in your life,
Mr.. Freelance, and, mark my words, the
child'l bring good luck to the house"
How Billy succeeded in persuading
the economical Hardup that the piece
would prove a failure unless a child
were introduced into it and how he
contrived to write the part in for her
that very night are matters that had
best be left to conjecture, but the very
next day Kitty received the typewriter
copy of her lines, and rehearsals Of "The
Giants Causeway" were carried for
ward under Mr.. Freelance's direction
with the energy and spirit that mark all
Of that gentleman's undertakings.
The opening night, Dec. "a, found
the house well filed with an audience
which made favorable impression on
the venerable Mr.. Borders as he looked
out through the peephole in the curtain,
while behind the footlights feverish ex-
citement and anticipation prevailed.
As for Kitty, she had become so
wrought up over her role-the longest
one she had ever been intrusted with
that she seemed in danger of losing her
balance and forgetting every one Of the
lines that she had, by diligent study,
crammed into her small head. She was
standing in the first entrance, with her
hand clasped in that Of Mr.. Freelance.
when her cue came, and as she walked
out on the stage, the ideal of childish
loneliness, murmur of delight ran
through every part of the crowded house.
They're going to foreclose the mort
gage on the old mill tomorrow night,
and if that child lives I am beggar,"
said the polished, cigarette smoking
villain, and then q youngster in the
parquet set up pitiful howl of despair,
which was followed by general ripple
of merriment that might have proved
fatal to the piece had not Kitty gone on
with her lines with the GOODNESS and
gravity of the born and experienced
artist, which she was displaying there
by presence Of mind which won for
her, on her exit, the first real applause
of the evening.
Kitty Sullivan was, as the eminent
dramatic critic had observed, an old
hand at the business, despite the fact
that she was but years of age, for she
had been born and brought up on the
stage and was as much at home in the
Of a great audience as an or
dinary child is before nursery. AS the
piece went on she realized that she was
making hit-a far greater one than
she had ever made beforehand, young

Tho Spider Party Will Furnish Much
Amusement For Christmas.
A "spider party" is a novel method
of giving presents at Christmas to chill
dren and may be thus arranged: The
guests, on arrival, are greeted by an
enormous spider in the center of huge
web spun across the entire room, and
from all possible nails and projections
should be a maze of white cotton
threads, each attached at one end to a
large, brightly colored spider, at the
end of which must be hung a little
wooden winder. Each guest, in turn,
chooses one of the spiders, and, wind
ing up the thread, following all its in
tricacies, reaches at last special insect,
inside of which has been placed the
small present.
Great amusement is produced by these
unexpected finds, which may be varied
according to the wishes of the hostess
from bonbons and knickknacks or small
toys to little articles Of jewelry, neck
ties, etc. Of course, if wished, the
name OF each guest may be written on
tho little winders, SO as to insure the
right gift going to a right child or
Grcwn Up person. ANY one can make
tho large colorod spiders at home, or
procure them from any large toyshop,
end when sending out her invitations
they should be SO worded as to invite
her friends to "spider at home''
party, which will cause much wonder
and interest to betaken in the approach
