4 Truck Farmer Describes Its Char
ncter and Tells How to Get Rid
of 1t.
Wilmington Island June 2L-Edltor
Morning News: Your issue of I'd inst
reports the discovery by Mr.. ]. F. Gull
martin of a new beetle infesting his
Irish potatoes and that Of the 18th states
that there is no doubt the bug is a
newcomer in this Section" while it had
been known in Texas. AS a matter of
fact, the more destructive Colorado po-
tato beetle (Doeyphoea 10 l!neata) is of
the two the more recent visitation, hav-
ing been first noticed on HutchinsOn's
Island by Mr.. w. BarnYell about eight
or ten years ago, while this supposed new
insect has been for many years a we'll
known pest of the potato grower, but only
occasionally appearing in large numbers.
Mr.. Guilmartin's insect is either one or
more, of the three Blister beetles-the
Ash Grey Qytta cinerea). the Margined
Nytta marginata), or the Striped Lytta
Vittata), all of which have frequently Wis
tied this section more or less abundantly
The Lytta Vesicatoria is the Spanish fly
of medicine.
A year or two after began truck farm
ing near Savannah, in 1857, two of them
were very destructive, when 1 tested their
Vesicating virtue on my own person. My
book Truck Farming at the South" the
first edition of which was published in
1888, mentions all three OF them as feeding
section and reports that in the previous
year truck farmers had been compelled
TO use paris green to stay their raVages.
The Blister beetles are only injurious in
their mature stage, the larvae living I'M
derground and feeding on various roots,
while the Colorado potato beetle devours
the potato leaves during its larval state.
These Blister beetles are shy insects, and
may be driven from a small field by a
brush, and this shyness was probably the
reason Mr.. Guilmartin thought they could
not be destroyed with paris green, its mere
application having driven. them off. The
arsenical insecticides, either london pur-
pie or paris green, are nevertheless the
proper remedies.
III to be used in fluid form the proper
tions are one pound of the poison to from
$50 to $50 gallons of water, or from one
ounce to from nine to fifteen gallons of
water. In case of the stronger mixture
quantity of quick lime equal to that
of the poison should be added to avoid
the danger of scalding the leaves. If 10
be applied in the form of powder, one
ounce of the poison should be thoroughly
mixed with six pounds of flour or with
ten of lime. A. Oemler.

The PhiIatelist's Collection as a Source

Having successfully disclosed the hy-

medical science has now turned its at
tention to the perils that beset the
Philatelist's art. According to DR..
IInna, says the Science News, a patient
was recently attacked by peculiar
parasitic growth in the beard. On maxi
ing minute examination of some OF
the hairs, the doctor recognized the dis
ease as spiedra, which is chief y met
with in British Columb bia. The doc.
tors friend had never beeninC Columbia
but he frequently received letters from
correspondents there, and, being a col,
lector Of postage stamps, he was in the
habit of removing them from the LEFT

on on the postage stamp is an excellent
ma n terial for retaining any disease

MADE FROM NIGHTMARES.

Methods Used by Artists Who Design
Popular Grotesque Posters.
People who dine late at night in q
certain uptown restaurant may have
noticed a well-dressed, wild-eyed, hagg-
gard-faced, dyspeptic man devouring
night after night with apparent relish
dishes which only the ultra brave have
courage to eat more than once month.
That man is an artist, says the New
York World, and eating indigestible
food is a part of his business, for he
is maker Of posters. Since the use
Of grotesque posters, built On the lines
of Aubrey Beardsley's phantom fam
cies and on the principle Of Chimpanzee
Johanna's savage sketches, has become
general as a means OF advertising news
papers it is no more than right that
the world should know how the de-
signs are conceived.
The case of this wild-eyed, haggard-
faced, dyspeptic artist alone will, be
cited. His may or may not be the
method used by all the better poster
makers. Every night he goes to this
uptown restaurant, eats a welsh rab-
bit, a cold broiled lobster, two cream
rolls and q dish of ice cream and drinks
a quart of cheap claret. Then he goes
home, drinks two glasses of ice water,
retires and the nightmare does the rest.
In the morning he s. stches the hor-
rors he saw in his dreams and finishes
them as the orders for posters pour in.
He is making a fortune in the business.

THE LETTER ST." =
a French Grapholog1st Says That 1t In.
dicates the Writer'S Character,

"A French Grapholosist Says That 1t In
dicates the Writer'S Character.
A French graphologist has discovered
that character can. be read from the
letter "t' alone. He claims that the
vertical line represents the fatality Of
life, and the horizontal bar the influ-
ence human will exercises upon this
fatality.
In addition, he claims that the higher
part Of the vertical line-that project
ing above the horizontal bar-has indi-
cations of the amount; of ideality con-
tanned in the makeup of the writer, and
that the inferior part of this line corre-
sponds to the practical and material
part of the mans character. "
For instance, the optimist crosses his
t's with a line that slopes upward from
the earth to the sky, as it were. The
poet often crosses his t's quite above
the vertical line; in other words, in the
sky.
The pessinist crosses his t's with a
downward sloping stroke. The line,
which commences at the ideal portion
of the letter, descends little by little un-
til it is lost among the sad realities of
earthly existence.
The practical man, it appears, always
steers a middle course, and crosses his
t's neither in the ideal nor in the ma
terial, but exactly midway between the
two = Z

APPLICATION OF A FABLE. \

"A Shenp's Skin Hides the Form of a HUI
..:~s 49,. man Wolf.
The story Of the ass who clothed nim-
self in a lions skin in order to pass
himself off as the king of beasts is well
known, but the tale of the thief who
got inside a sheeb's skin to be better
able to carry on his nefarious trade
has yet to be toll, says the London
Telegraph. Early one morning two
policemen, who were on duty at the
slaughter houses of Paris, were aston
lshed to see a sheep endeavoring to
effect an entrance into the inclosure
where creatures of it's kind We're dou-
bled when a mans hand protruded from
beneath the stolen fleece. Their curl
osity became intensified and they care
fully followed the ST am animal, who
stopped at the pen which inclosed the
real article, and with great GOODNESS
chose the two largest and fattest of the
flock.
Still observed by the watchful guard
ians of the law, this plasiarist of an
ancient fable proceeded to, kill and cut
up his capture, and was IN the point
of making off with his borty when he
found himself in turn the spoil of the
law and was quickly marched off to
the police station, where he gave his
name as Eugene Lassot From his ac-
count he made a good living out of his
occupation by selling the meat to vari-
Gus butchers For some time, at least,
it is to be hoped, that the animals at
the abattoirs will cease to be sent to
an earlier death by the depredations of
this latest wolf in sleeps clothing.

INITIATION OF SILVER PRICES

next day after the passage Of that act
sugar, which had sold at 10 cents a
pound, did not Immediately sell for six
cents, neither was the prices of coffee,
or clothes, or wages violently affected.
but so slowly and gradually did the
shrinkage occur that 30 years after
ward gold standard advocates were
ready to assert that no material change
had taken place. It is only by an in
telligent and painstaking comparison
that the result can be determined. essaes
By reference to the last census we
find that the per capita OF wealth to
population is about $s72, but of the
entire wealth Of the country about one
per cent. of our people own four-ffths
of it, leaving the remaining one-ffth
to go around among 80 per cent. Of the
people; or, in other words, one per
cent !. of the population own on an
average about $65, 1000 each, while the
96 per cent. own less than 5000 each.
A reference to the census of two de-
cades ago shows the average holdings
of the one per cent. to have been less
than one-fourth what the average is
now, and the average of the so per
cent was very much greater than
now. The yisibleefects of contraction
of the currency, then, was not SO much
in destroying values as in transferring
valuables from the laboring portion Of
our people to the capitalist and money
lending portion. AS every novice in mu-
sic knows, one ascends the scale with
the very same steps by which he de-
scends, consequently isn't it logical and
fair to assume that if silver is restored
to it's former place in the currency as
money of redemption that the advance
in value will be as silent and gradual
as was the reduction from the bimetal-
lie valuations to the contracted single
standard valuation?
A great deal of capital now tied up
in bonds or held to buy gold to convert
into bonds will be gradually diverted
into the channels of legitimate trade
because boarding will not be profit
able, and business will be more active.
In time the millionaire capitalists will
perceive that their wealth has shrunk-
en- somewhat, and the numerous small
holdings will have visibly appreciated
in value. AS in the other case it will
be rather a transfer from one class to
another than a general imitation OF
values, but nothing violent, nothing
sudden.-Walter Elder, in Des Moines
