The popular Imagination will find the Kind
of stimulus it enjoys in the story that the deca-
dence of the Hotel Brunswick dates from the
time when its banquet-rocm was unknowingly,
and therefore nnocently, opened to a party OF
disreputable people who abused the privileges
they had purchased But 1t is not difficult to
find other reasons for its downfall We feel
certain that the development of hotels toward
outward display and elegance of appointment
which New-York has witnessed during the last
decade is without a parallel in any other bust
ness activity. 1t has exerted tremendous in
fiucnce upon hotel patronage. which is in Its
nature fickle and has done corresponding harm

Painted VS.. Imprinted Hives.

In recent American Bee Journal J. A.
Nash, in reply to an article by C. Thiel-
mann advocating the non painting. of
bee hives says:
I think that Mr.. Thielmann has taken
untentable grounds in this case. I have
made hives and painted them for many
years, and am well aware that lead and
oil add greatly to the cost, but have al
ways believed that 1t was money we'll in
vested. am practical mechanic and
for years in the earlier part Of my life
followed house-building. as well as bee
keeping. Now consider beehive and
a house very much alike in many re-
spects Both should be made of good,
sound, dry lumber; the joints should be
tight fitting and well nailed. But let
a house be ever so well built, of the
best material, and not painted, and in
few years it presents an unsightly ap-
pearance; boards are warped and split,
water has soaked into the once tight
joints and rotted them; nails that once
We're driven down "fiush," or sunk

the workman would say, "the sun drew
them" Sashes and doors are sagged
out of square, and the pins and keys
that held them together are loose. These
and many other landmarks" of the
lack Of paint can be seen on any house
where paint has been omitted.
Now, in case of hive it is much the
same. 1t should be well painted every
where that the elements can reach. I
have been troubled in years past by the
rotting Of tops and bottoms of brood
chambers, cases, etc., where the water
soaked in from the outside. Some years
ago began painting all my new hives
on the joints, also the top or bottom
board, and now have but little trouble
from decayed humber.

that were fairly well made, of good ma

COLOR FINIsHINGs FOR ROOMS.

A white paper surface reflects about
eighty per cent. of the light which falls
upon it. A yellow surface reflects forty
per cent. of the light, a blue surface,
twenty-five per cent. while very dark
surface reflects only about five per cent
The amount of light reflected from
wooden surfaces varies from twenty to
forty per cent. Those facts should be
borne in mind in the finishing Of living
rooms. The selection of dark paper
or wood will make the room hard to
light and unpleasantly obscure. To get
the best lighting effects. blues, yellows

FARM AND GARDEN.
DAMAGING INSECTS.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Currant Worm and the Cur
rant Borer.
CThe following. written by James
Troop. Horticulturist at Purdue Uni
versity Experiment Station. was sent
out May Il. 1885,
These two species Of insects have done
more damage to the currant and goose
berry industry in this country than all
other causes combined. A few years
ago every farmer raised enough cur
rants and gooseberries for home con-
sumption, at least, but since the intro
duction of these pests not one farmer
in ten thinks of raising even a fair
crop. 1t would seem that after all that
has been written on the subject moth
ing more need be said, but 1t is evident
that the people in general are not well
posted on the subject even yet.
The currant worm, nematus ventrico-
sus, or more properly. the gooseberry
saw fly. was introduced into this coun-
try from Europe about the year 1857,
coming, as did the imported cabbage
butterfly, by way of Canada. 1t Is
probable, however that 1t was landed
at other points along our Easter coast.
Like most Of our imported insects II
spread very rapidly, until it now covers
the greater portion Of the United States.
This fly belongs to the order hymen-
optera, which includes the bees. wasps
and ants, II is known TO entomolo-
gists as kind Of connecting link be-
tween this order and the lepidoptera,
to which belong the moths and butter
flies. The adults make their appear
ance soon after the leaves of the cur
rant and gooseberry bushes come forth.
The female lays her eggs along the prin-
cipal veins on the under side of the
leaf. These hatch in about ten days,
and the young larvae may be detected
by the minute holes which they have
eaten through the leaves. AS they APP
preach maturity they become ravenous
eaters, soon stripping the bushes of
their foliage. They then seek for Sc
cluded place in which to pupate, and
in about four or five weeks the second
brood makes its appearance, and the
same process Is gone through as before.
REMEDY. ~ ST..
The most successful remedy yet dis
covered for this insect Is white helle-
bore. Dust little of the powder over
the infested bushes while they are
damp, either early in the morning or
just after a shower. If this is done
promptly, before the worms have
spread all over the bushes, one or two
applications will usually be sufficient.
The currant borer. sesia tipuliformis,
is a pretty wasp-like moth which may
be found flying in the hot sunshine
searching for suitable places in which
to deposit its eggs. which are laid sing
iy, where. in few days, they hatch in
to small larvae, which eat their way to
the centre Of the stem, frequently pass
ing down one stem and up another,
eventually causing the death OF a por-
ton of or the entire plant. Like the
previous species, this, too, is imported,
and Is two-brooded, so that the work
Of destruction is carried on during the
entire summer.
In the autumn or early spring all
stems found hollow should be cut out
and burned.

Congressman Cu1berson Plays a Prac-

Congress man Culberson Plays Prac-
teal Joke Upon Tom Williams.
The story of the Alabama law suit,
involving jack, in which Congress
man Tom Williams Of Alabama and
Judge Culberson of Texas appeared up
on opposite sides, and the use the for
mer made of it in a campaign has been
published, but the sequel never was.
Congressman Williams and Robert
G. Ingersoll resemble each other very
closely, the only point of very noticea-
BILE dissilnilarity being a slight scar
upon Col. Ingersoll's face. When Con-
gresham Williams told the law suit
story, Judge Culberson concluded to
get even. Procuring two dozen litho-
graphs of Ingersoll, used by him in his
lecture tours, the judge cut Off the
name and signed them in imitation Of
Williams writing, very Truly Yours.
Tom l.. Williams" These he sent to
men in different parts of the Alabama
district, being careful to leave out the
most influential friends of Williams.
In a short time the scheme began to
work. Williams received letters ask
ing for one of his big pictures. These
he answered graciously, saying that
he had none. Then would came back
replies in the most indignant style, tell
ing him that they had seen them, and
If he wanted to lie about it he could do
without their support. These letters
Mr.. Williams referred to his friend,
Judge Culberson, who advised him to
go home and straighten it out. This
the perplexed member did, obtaining a
ten days leave of absence. When he
returned he said to the judge:
II found them there, framed and
hung up. They looked like me, and
there was my signature. Finally, no.
ticed the scar on the face, and that
saved me. l got it fixed up, but had
to go to every county in the district"
Finally it leaked out who had played
the joke, and compact was made that
Williams should never again mention
the law suit and Judge Culberson
should play no more jokes.
