Squash Bugs.

A correspondent of Rural New York
er says: eve took a lot Of shingles and
pressed these down on their sides in the
hills at sharp angle, SO that the upper
edge of each was about couple Of
inches above the surface of the ground.
These made warm place to retreat to
when night came, and on going the
rounds in the early morning lots of bugs
were found on the under side, when by
bringing two pieces together they are
easily killed. In about ten days the bugs
were nearly exterminated. Much of the
injury by the bugs is done when the
vines have little more than broken
ground by their sucking the juice from
the upright stem. If the squash vines
have been well fed with food rich in nj
trogen, these last attacks will do but
little HARM

A YOUNG GIRLS TRIALS.
NERVOUS TROUBLES END In ST.
VITUS DANCE.

(From the Reporter, Somerset XVI
Among the foot hills of the Cumbor-
land Mountains, near the town of Flat
Rock, is the happy home of James Nc
Pherron. -Four months ago the daughter
of the family, happy girl of sixteen,
was stricken with St Vitus' dance. The
leading physicians were consulted but
without avail She grew pale and thin
under the terrible nervous strain and was
fast losing her mental powers. In fact
the thought of placing her in an asylum
was seriously considered. Her case has
been so widely talked about that the re-
port of her cure was like undermining a
miracle of old. To reporter who visited
the home the mother said:
Yes, the reports of nv daughter S
sickness and cure are true as you hear
them, Her atfiiction grew into St. Vitus'
dance from an aggravated form of weak
ness and nervous trouble peculiar to her
SEX Every source of help was followed
to the end, but it seemed that physicians
and medicine were powerless. Day by
day she grew worse until we despaired of
her life. At times she almost went into
commissions. She got SO that we had to
watch her to keep her from wandering
away, and you can imagine the care she
was.
About this time when our misery was
greatest and all hope had fled, read of

been cured by medicine known as DIR.
Williams Pink Pills Almost in desper-
alton l secured some of the pills and from
that day on the wonderful work of resto-
ration commenced; the nervousness left
her checks grew bright with the color of
health, she gained flesh and grew strong
both mentally and physically until to-day
she is the very picture Of good health and
happiness.
It is no wonder that I speak in glowing
terms of Pink Pills to every ailing per-
son I meet They saved my daughter S
life and ], am grateful. -
The foregoing is but one of many Won
derful cures that have been credited to
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. In many cases the reported cures
have been Investigated by the leading
newspapers and verifedin every possible
manner. Their fame has spread to the
far ends of civilization, and there is
hardly drug store in this country or
abroad where they cannot be found
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie are now given to the public as an I'M

Irrigation of Market Gardens.

W. W. Rawson of Massachusetts, in
The New England Homestead, says:
I have three irrigation plants and can
not afford to be without them. One suf-
fcient for ten acres in the eastern and
central states will cost $1,000. For 20
acres it will cost 81 500. A steam en-
CINE Of Is or 20 horsepower is far bet
ter than Windmill, and the pump
should be able to throw 200 gallons per
minute. The main distributing pipe
should be 3 inches in diameter, and Che
other pipes 2 inches. The increase Of TIE
first crop will pay for the whole plant
almost any year.

A significant fact about Cuban wars is
that Spain can't whip the insurgents by
simply resorting to the methods of
civilized warfare. OF course 1t is claimed
that the insurgents are nothing but cut
throats, statement which will carry
very little weight outside benighted
Spain. SupposiDg they are guerrillas,
which we do not admit, gucrrillas and as
sassins in this country were successfully
sguelched by civilized methods during the
American rebellion. Why cannot 1t be
done in Cuba2 But in every war with
Cuba. Spain has resorted to the EXTREMIST
cruelties, atrocities in fact, and is doing
so in the present uprising. Indeed the
announcement IS made that from now out
it is to be war Of determination.
Death or deportation, - is to be the alter
native accorded the rebels, "whose sole
object is robbery, murder and incendiar-
ism, says Spain. A more unreasonable or
psJpably false statement could not be
made. 1t is even ridiculous to suppose
that simply for purpose Of pillage men
would undergo the dangers and hardships
which have fallen to the lot of the insur-
gents for nearly year, holding at bay
the flower Of the Spanish soldiery and
maintaining rebellion, which Spain by
recognized methods of warfare cannot
put down Notwithstanding repeated levles
of troops and drafts upon depleted treas
ury. And it should be borne in mind
that with each levy Of troops Spain has
boastcd that the Cuban uprising was
petty affair There isn't the slightest
doubt but what many Of the insurgents
are radicals; that many of the property
owners through fear Of financial less dare
not openly spouse the cause Of Cuban
freedom, and advocate the makeshift, an
stonomy and 1t is equally apparent that
the expressions and extortions which the
pearl of the Antilles, has suffered at
the hands of the mother country afford
ivory thCllSt lOE EcDtlllOI ny tOuipd l9Oit
the treatment which excited the American
colonies to rebel against the authority OF
King George seems almost trivial. If the
men who lead the Cuban insurgents OH
their desperate sal!ies be guerrillas, then
were Geo. Marion and his faithful fol-
lowers who waged uEon the British ag-
grcssors in the Caroiinas irregular war
fare and hid and hungered 10 the fast
nesses. The sympathy OF the American
people goes out to the Cuban insurgents.
1t cannot be otherwise so long as we re
main human and rccollect the struggle
our forefathers had to save our country
from foreign oppression. The Cuban in
surgcnts deserve to win. They will win
in the end, for Spain knows not how to
govern otherwise than poorly and the
spirit abroad in Cuba is indomitable.
Subjugations in the past have not sub
ducd it and subjugation never can sub
due it,
