nestroyInc tho Hosslnn Fly.

w. G. Latta Of Purdue University
gives the following advice: Owing to
the prevalence and destructiveness of
the Hessian fly this year, concerted ef-
forts should be put forth to prevent a
recurrence Of its ravages upon the next
wheat crop In order to prevent a Sc
rious attack of ''the fly" the following
measures should be adopted.
/. Thoroughly burn all ny-lnfested
wheat stubble in which there is not o
stand Of young clover or grass.
g. Prepare very early a border, one
Of two rods wide. around each field of
wheat, and SOW the same to wheat in
August.
3. Turn this border under very late
using jointer, following with roll
and harrow, and then SOW the entire
field.
BY taking this course many Of the
insects which escape the fire will be
buried when the early-sown border is
turned under, and the late sowing of
the general crop will avoid the earlier
attacks Of any remaining "hy."
If these precautions are carefully and
generally observed by the farmers tho
Hessian ny will not seriously damage
the next wheat crop. United effort is
necessary to be effective.
Few Suggestlons.-Th long-suffer-
ing mother will find this list Of inestl-
mable benefit during the whole trying
season: To remove fresh fruit stains
stretch the stained portion Of the goods
over basin and pour boiling water
through 1t until the mark disappears.
To remove old fruit stains, wash the
stained portion of the goods in oxallc
acid until clear. Rinse thoroughly in
clear rain water, wet with ammonia
rinse again and dry. Grass stains
should be rubbed in either molasses or
alcohol until they disappear, and should
be washed as usual. Pink stains should
be soaked in lemon juice, covered with
salt and bleached in the sun. If they
are on colored material they should be
treated with oxalic acid In the same
way as old fruit stains. A mixture Of
one-third of powdered alum to two
thirds Of tartar is also good for obstl-
nate ink stains and others. Ink stains
on carpets are removed most easily
with lemon Juice or oxalic acid. Wagon
grease, tar or pitch stains should be
rubbed well with lard and then washed
in the usual way. Colors which have
faded under the influence Of acid may
be restored by treating them with am
monia and chloroform. Colors changed
by alkalies may be restored by acid
treatment.

A Lost Portrait Of Stevenson,

The work Of Mr.. St. Gaudens seems
the best, both in point Of likeness and of
artistic merit. An ardent admirer of
Stevenson s work, he had always de.
clared he would go thousand miles to
do his portrait if ever heg got the chance.
But in 1883 the subject came to New
York, and Mr.. st. Gaudens was able to
make the studies for the head and right
hand. Several months later, however,
he had to travel some little distance to
make his notes of the left hand. But so
great was the stress Of his work, so fas-
tidious his taste, and SO severe his con-
science that it was not until the autumn
of 1898 that the sculptor was able to
finish the medallion to his own satisfac-
tion. The original the artist retains him
self. Another copy adorns the mantel-
piece at Vailima, in sight of Mr.. Sar-
gents portrait.
But the original copy presented to the
sitter by the artist has vanished into the
unknown. 1t was by mistake directed
to R. L. Stevenson, Sydney, Australia,
and, as nobody had ever heard Of such a
person there, it is surmised to have been
at last sold by auction-purchaser un-
known, probably some marine store
dealer. But it would be satisfactory to
trace this if possible. le.-Athen@um.

Too Many Drugs,

"The primary cause CT SO many cases
Of grip in this and other cities" said
the examining physician of one of the
large life. insurance companies in New
York to Mercury reporter, sis the al
most universal habit of drug taking,
from the milder tonics to patent nedi-
cines. Whenever the average men or
women feel depressed or slightly i'll,
they resort at once to some medicine
more or less strong If they would try
to find out the cause Of the trouble and
seek to obviate it by regulating their
mode Of living, the general health of the
community would be better. This drug
habit tends continually to lower the
tone of the system. The more it is in
dulged in the more apparent becomes
the necessity Of continuing the down
hill course. The majority Of persons do
not look beyond the fact that they seem
to feel better after the use of stimu-
lating drug or patent medicine This
feeling comes from the benumbing &C.
tion Of the drug, because it has no up
lifting action. With the system in such
a weakened state the microbes of the
disease find excellent ground to grow.
When attacked, the patient lacks re-
Operative powers, and the result is gen.

Seasons In South America.

A Philadelphian recently returned
from an extended tour of South Amer
lea tells an interesting story Of the queer
climatic conditions prevailing in certain
parts of the lower half of this continent.
"Of course it is pretty we'll known" ;"
says he, "that while the people north
of the equator are suffering the rigors Of
winter those people living south Of that
imaginary line are in the midst Of sum-
mer, and vice versa. This rule, how
ever, so far as South America is con-
cerned, applies only to the coast, for in
the mountains of the interior a peculiar
condition of affairs exists. Up in the
Andes the natives are in the midst of
winter when midsummer prevails on
the coast, and when winter reaches the
coast it is summer in the mountains OF
course neither the coast nor mountain
winter is very severe, but the distinc-
tion between the two seasons is decided
ly marked. It is very remarkable eli
matte condition. "-Philadelphia Rec

There is sharp chap about town who
is making money with both hands, as it
were. His stock in trade consists Of a
piece Of rubber hose, pair of scissors
and tongue which works with exceed
ing smoothness. He drops in on business
men and asks them if they are in need
Of rubber bands. If so, he will give
them the very best sort for 81 for 500.
The average man is likely to say that he
has no use for SO large supply, and
that starts the conversation. He Of the
rubber hose, scissors and tongue says
that he can supply any number of rub
ber bands Of the best quality on the
spot. He can furnish 100 in minute if
the customer wants them, and he adds
that he will cut them from his hose
right then and there. The customer says
he cannot do it, and the rubber band
man smiles and says he has dollar
lurking somewhere in his pockets that
says he can. More than one man has put
up his dollar on this game, only to lose
it, fairly and squarely, for the rubber
band ''f1end" gets out his scissors and
goes through his piece Of hose even as
