The Result of Over Caution.

The distressing accident near Nor
ristown, Penn, the other day, by
which Thomas Hovenden, the famous
artist, and little girl lost their lives,
is a striking illustration of the danger
of over caution.
It seems that at the point where the
accident occurred there was grade
crossing, and a trolley company'a
tracks came up to the tracks OF the
railway without crossing them. Pas
sengers were compelled to leave the
trolley car on one side of the railroad
and walk across the track to take a
trolley car on the other side. This is
done in order to avoid the danger Of
running car across the track at a
time when an engine might strike it.
We see now how this precaution
worked. A little girl left the trolley
car and stood paralyzed with terror on
the track when she saw an engine
rushing toward her. Mr.. Hovenden
made heroic effort to save her, but
in vain, and the two lost their lives.
It would have been better if the
trolley car had been allowed to cross
the railway, because there would then
have been a watchmsn stationed at
that point, and gates would have been
provided to prevent the possibility OF
a collision. Even without gates and
watchman, it would have been ten
times less dangerous for car to cross
the track than for twenty-five or
thirty persons to straggle across it
from one trolley car to the other. This
sad affair shows the danger of over
caution or mlsdirected caution. At

RlCORS OF ALASKAN LIFE.
Reports Brought by Priests Who Work
Among the Eskimos.

The Rev. Father Losi, Prefect Apostolic OF
the Roman Catholic missions In Alaska, and
a colleague, Father Barnem, are now at Van
couver, British Columbia, for visit. Their
work is among the Eskimo Indians, where
they have the aid Of about twenty-five other
priests and nuns, in the country lying about
three hundred and fifty miles north OF the
Skiene, where the climatic and other condi-
tions are so rigorous rs to ythe strongest
of constitutions and the mostindomitable re-
ligious zeal. They report the Eskimos as
kind and peaceable to Il degree, and readily
amenable to religious influences. Lately
the number OF the Eskim0s of Northern Alas
ka have, as regards the children, been sadly
diminished by severe form of whooIiaS-
cough. The reindeer introduced by the
United States authorities have faieI 10

the Yukon greatly overestimated in worth,
and difficult to work with profit. 1t is hope

PLACE AND FITNESS.

One of the most pitiful things in the world
is to see nine hundred and ninety-nine per-
sons contriving, laboring, competing for
place, and only one man in thousand con-
cerning himself with the vastly more impor-
tant and pertinent and essential matter OF
fitness As II fitness did not always and in
evitably come before place, preparation be-
fore performance, equipment before assump-
tion, merit before desert. Yet who In these
days thinks first of making himself worthy
and then of the honor which his worth
deserves? Who aliases himself that he may
be exalted? Who goes to school to
humility that he may rule with honorable
pride? The tendency, most unfortunately,
is all the other way. Men seek first the
place, under the reckless and vain delusion
that fitness will follow as kind of miraculous
and spontaneous result OF presumption! A
young man leaves school. or breaks of his
technical education, dazzled by the offer ola
position which seems as high as he had ever
dared to aspire. He gets the place but sell
dom keeps it, and still more seldom rises
above it-because he has not been content to
wait and fit himself for the demands and re-
sponsibiities Of his profession. Very soon
those who have equipped themselves more
thoroughly than he will overtake and pass
him. It is like running long race over
rough roads. The rider who stops to have
his horse thoroughly shod will win over him
who pushes frantically ahead with loose
shoe to gain time.

tember and do not begin again until
about the middle of April. having
passed the winter attached to the
twigs of the tree. After feeding a
while they make a second and larger
case, shaped like diminutive cigar,
and from which they can stretch forth
the forward part of the body and,
eating a circular hole large enough to
admit the body, commence to eat out
the substance of the leaves, leaving
the lower and upper skins intact. 1t
still retains Its cigar-shaped home and
retires into it when at rest or dis.
turbed. In June they cease to feed,
fasten themselves to the leaf and in
short time enter the chrysalis stage,
from which the moths issue.
These cigar-like objects can be seen
moving over the leaf of a plant, al
though scarcely more than one-hfth
of On inch in length, and when dis
turbed the little creatures retreat into
them. The first indication of the in
sect's presence occurs on the swelling
buds of apple, pear or plum trees
Two or three have often been seen on
6 single bud busly at work eating
holes into them no larger than pin.
The work on the expanded foliage is
seen in skeletonized dead areas, which
have near their centres q clean-cut
round hole through one skin, usually
on the under side OF the leaf. The
caterpillars also often attack the grow
ing fruit.

NEW ORCHARD PEST.

A comparatively new pest OF fruit
trees is the insect called the cigar-case
bearer, which last year probably
ranked next to the budmoth in New
York destructiveness. Owing to its
small size and peculiar habits, the in
sect in any stage will berarely noticed
by fruit-erower, and yet the second
one of the curious suits or eases which
the little caterpillar wears Is con-
spicuous enough to reveal its presence
to the casual observer. 1t appears as
O moth from about the middle of June
until about the middle of July, and
lays its eggs on the leaves OF fruit
trees. After n couple of weeks these
hatch to minute caterpillars, which at
once eat through the skin of the leaf
and mine in the tissue, leaving tiny
transparent line behind them. After
q couple OF weeks or more they cut
small bits out of the leaves and roll
them into minute tubes or cases within
which they pass the winter. They
cease to feed about the middle of Sep.

Prince OF Wales Fort.

Explorers who recently returned to
Quebec, Canada, from Hudson's Bay
have revived interest in half.forgot-
ten bit of history regarding the ruins
at the mouth of the Churchill River.
The ruins are the remains of the old
Prince of Wales fort, erected in the
middle of the last century by the
Hudson's Bay Company. 1t took
forty years to build the fort, and the
wall was constructed of heavy blocks
of dressed granite, prepared by work
men brought from England for the
purpose. On each of its four sides the
walls are 300 feet long and twenty feet
high. At the base they wero thirty
feet thick, tapering to twenty feet at
the summit. Within were commodi-
ous stone buildings containing large
supplies of goods and stores of every
description, and immense quantities
of valuable furs, gathered from every
part of the Northwest, even from the
shores of the Polar Sea. Forty-two
heavy cannon defended the fort. On
August s, 1882, there advanced toward
the fort three French war vessels, two
of which carried forty-two cannon
each, and the third seventy-four. As
there were only thirty.nine men In
the fort the position was yielded with
out fighting. All the furs were taken
to France, the goods were either re-
moved or destroyed, and an effort was
made to demolish the fcrt, but owing
10 the strength of the masonry the
work of destruction was not COM
pleted.
Much of the ruin, which is the larg-
est in North America, still remains.
The explorers report that the old can
non are partly or wholly covered with
the great stones that have fallen or
were thrown from the walls. The an
,ient wells still contain water. The
great guns and large iron balls that
lie around are objects OF interest to
the skin-clad Indians, who sometimes
visit the forsaken fortress. England
made France pay we'll for the furs and
the damage done, but the old strong
hold has not been rebuilt. New York

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Try the pigs at least once day with
clear fresh water, and you will be sur
prised to find how much they will
drink of it.
Few, if any, things can be'done well
in hurry. Handling bees certainly
cannot. You will always do better il
you take plenty of time.
A wagon with wide-t1red wheels 21

Farmers in Northern Illinois are be-

the conditions in that part OF the
State were unfavorable to its successful
growth.
Buckwheat north of the latitude Of

able. It will secrete an abundance OF
nectar only when the atmosphere is
cool and moist.
There is not great deal of differ.
ence in the price Of meat and poultry,
which is easily digested, and ought to
be more on farmers tables than it is.
The staple meat product used on the
farm is pork. That is always hard to
digest.
No animal suffers more from neglect
of something to drink than does the
hog. The slop and milk which are
commonly given to pigs confined in
the pin are not good substitutes for
water. The elop thrown into the
swell barrel from the table has too
much salt to make good drink, and
the milk is too solid to be substitte
for water.
Lysol may prove to be the drug for
foul bee brood, in Gravenhorst's opin-
ion. 1t is cheap, and is more like
crude than refined carbolic acid, and
in his experience crude carbolic acid
has proved good as preventive and
cure, while the refined article has been
unsatisfactory. He thinks perhaps

also in lysol, may De important.
After many years of experience with
various plans to prevent swarmlng, an
expert has decided them all unrroht.
able to common bee.keepers. He has
resolved to labor for one swarm from
each colony. These new swarms he
will hive in hives contracted to not
more than 800 inches of comb surface;
such hives to be enlarged at the end
of the white honey flow, to give the
bees room to store plenty Of dark
honey for winter stores.
There is reason for the practice OF
breaking down onion tops, though it
is not to make the onions larger, as is
sometimes thought. The growth OF
the onion continues in either case.
But breaking down the top, which is
usually done by passing roller over
the rows, makes the crop ripen evenly.
1t is, therefore, great convenience
10 the grower in harvesting, as it is
much better to have the work done at
once than to make several Jobs Of it
