ARKANSAS TOWN IN ASHES.
FIRE Set by observation-disclosures
Barely Avcrted.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, July lS.-The
town of Malvern Ark. at the junction
of the Hot Springs and Iron Mountain
railways was almost entirely destroyed
by fire early this morning. The total
loss is estimated at $4,000. only small
portion being covered by insurance. The
burned buildings include the railroad de-
not. two hotels. the bank. and all of the
principal business houses in the place.
The fire was, without doubt, the result
Of a plot 10 destroy the town, as 1t broke
out in three different places.
The town had no fire apparatus, and
the fire burned itself out.
The principal losers are: a. \. Adams
5000; Hughes & McSay. 5000; w. L.
Coopcr & Brother $4,000; H. A. Butler,
$1,000 II. Barnett $500; Powell Garden,
5000: r. I. Clary SEQ; a. NJ. Dufiie &,o0ji
Rhodes & Miller 5000: Bank OF Malvern,
$1,000; J. T. Chamberlaln $500.
The citizens firmly believed that the
town had been fred, and Instituted a
search early IN the day for the miscre-
ants. and about noon arrested three sus-
picious characters-two white men and a
negro. The feeling against them rapidly
increased. and early in the afternoon

TOBACCO DUST FOR INSECTS.
1t Is an Ail-Eound Cure for Plants
which Are Insect Infected.

practical Farmer)
a reader asks me whether tobacco-dust
should be applied to vines when they are
wet with dew or when they are dry.
This moves me to say that the tobacco
dust, or the bone meal. or the mixture OF
both, is not intended as a coating for the
leaves, which would make them poisonous
or unpalatable, but as a covering Tor the
soil, that VIII make the atmosphere very
uncomfortable for all insects and wcrlns.
/ like to have the material remain dry
and dusty as long as possible. ia that
case IL has a more thorough effect on
bugs and beetles that have hard shells.
The wet tobacco or tobacco tea, or even
the fumes OF wet tobacco. are very UNI
wholesome TO the soft-bodied irsects,
worms. etc. I find that cucumber beetles
do not like to work in dust, and least OF
all in tobacco dust When I put this mt
ter inch deep around melon or cucumber
plants, the yellow-striped beetle promptly
takes its departure. and will stay away
as long as the tobacco remains dusty
or as long as it gives of d strong to-
bacco smell.
Let me repeat, too. that this same waste
material is one OF our best and cheapest
general insecticides. We can use II s0th
under glass and In open air. BY all means
keep good supply OF It on hand. POSI-
bly, you can get sweeplngs from a near
cigar-iactory, or you may buy the ma
terial by the barrel at about $3.50 or s.
1t will last you for years. and help you
TO keep the premises clear Of the various
pests that prey upon your crops and
animals. II you scatter tobacc0-Gust by
hand or with bellows. over your rows OF
peas, just al nightfall you can kill the
slugs that are so often eating all the
lower foliage off and greatly damage the
crop. Or If you dust It in tho same way
over your currant and goOseberry bushes
when infested with WORMS you VIII
quickly see the worms disappear In tho
same way you can quickly kill all tho
leat-eating worms and siugs on your
trees and bushes everywhere. The tent
caterpillar and the fall web-worm, and
all other catetpillars on trees and plf7lts
give up the ghost within a few minutes
after coming in contact with tobacco
dust. And, besides all this, tobacco-dust
is worth about what It costs as a fer
tilizer. We can also control, In a mea-
sure, at least, the most unmanageable
pests OF our gardens-namely, the flea
beetle and the cabbage maggot. But In
order to make thorough work IN Kidding
the plants OF these pests. we have to be
very liberal in the use OF the tobacco
dust. For instance. If we throw n good.
big handful into the heart OF the cabbage
plant or caulitlower plant, Or on choice
seeding potato, We may be quite sure that
the flea beetles will leave. for a time ut
least, and II we apply the same quantity
to the stem OF cabbage or caullfowcr
plant we may be sure the maggots with
not flourish there for awhile.

The coyote howls on the prairie cold,
And the owlet boots in the tree:
And the biz moon shines on the little

As Il siumbers peacefully;
So swing thee high In thy little nest,
Ard swing low and take the rest
That the night wind brings 10 thee.

All through the solemn night:

Ia swinging low as be takes his rest,
