ANCIEATS IND SENSE.
Dated Beginning Of Year from Open
ing Of Spring.
When All Things in Nature Start
Afresh - Some Other Things In
Which the Aucients Have Given
Us Points.

The ancients began their year win
the advent OF spring. How much more
appropriate thus TO begin the New
Year with the new life Of nature IN the
awakening spring. At this season all
processes throughout the natural world
start afresh.
The ancients also showed their sa-
gacity and their appreciation OF the
great changes and active processes OF
the spring-time by realizing that this
is also the time for renewed life and
energy in the human system. They
well knew that the blood should be
cleansed from impurities and the nerves
re-invigorated at this season. Hence
the establishment of the custom OF TAX
ing a good spring medicine.
This most sensible and healthy GUS
tom is followed by almost everybody at
the present day, few people OF intelli-
gence venturing to go through this try
ing time OF change from winter to sum-
mer without taking a spring medicine.
The unanimity on this subject is a
settled fact; the only question hereto
fore has been in regard to what is the
best thing to take. The people are

AvALUABLE WITNESS.

AT q recent trial before New York
Judge it was thought important by the
counsel TO determine the length of time
certain "two quarters Of beef, two hogs
and one sheep" remained i'm an express
wagon in front of the plaintiffs store
before they were taken away by the de-
PENDANT. The witness was German
whose knowledge Of English was very
limited. but ne testified in q very plain,
straightforward way to having carried

Then the following dialogue ensued:

\ NEW FRUIT TREE PEST.

Prompt Action Necessary to Prevent It's
Sp-ead-It is Called the san Jose scale.
Last spring a notice was sent from
the experiment station to all Of the
newspapers in the State, warning farm
ers and fruit growers Of the danger Of
introducing into West Virginia the San
Jose Scale and other fruit pests on
fruit trees from New Jersey nurseries.
We have now TO announce that it has
been introduced in this manner and is
becoming established in at least three
sections of the State, namely: in Mo-
nOngalia county. near Georgetown, in
Brooke county, near Wellsburg, and in
Berkeley county. near Marunsburg.
Information obtained from the parties
sending infested specimens from these
localities show that the scale was intro
duced in the spring of 1894. on fruit
trees from the nursery of William Par
~. of Parry, n. J.
IL is Of the utmost Importance, there
fore, that everyone in the State should
make thorough examination Of the
trees to determine whether or not the
scale is present
The San Jose Scale is q minute, waxy,
dandruff-like scale, adhering to the bark
on the branches and twigs Of the infest-
ed trees. On trees that are badly infest-
ed the twigs have a dirty appearance.
as if covered with ashes Upon close
examination with a magnifying glass
the smaller scales will be found to have
a dark, eye-like spot in the centre Of
the upper surface. while the larger ones
will have q light or bright golden spot
in the same position.
This is one of the worst fruit tree
pests known, and its appearance in the
localities mentioned, and doubtless in
other sections. is q menace to the fruit
industry Of the State IF anything is
found that resembles the above descrip-
ton, specimens of the infested twigs
should be sent at once to the expert
ment station for authentic Identification
and if, on examination, it proves to be
the true San Jose Scale. a circular letter
viii be forwarded TO the sender and to
his county papers. Giving full instruc-
lions for the application Of the best
known remedies for the destruction Of
the pest
The presence of this insect in West
Virginia should receive the prompt al
tentiOn of every one who is in any way
interested in the future welfare Of the
fruit industry of the State.
BY prompt action upon the part of
the owners OF infested trees and trees
that are in danger of being infested. the
scale can be kept in check with COM
parative little loss and expense If
neglected. enormous loss win result and
the pest will get beyond control.

Congress and the President.

Congress assembled on Monday and
the Presidents long message was sent in.
The only part of the message that attract
ed any attention was that relating to Cuba,
and that didn't disappoint, but did dis
gust the people generally. Our fat Pres
ident takes large amount of space to say
in substance what he could have better
said in one or two short paragraphs,
which is, that his friends, the Rothschilds,
held Spanish bonds on which the pay
ment of interest depends on Spain's hold
ing Cuba and grinding it out of the
Cubans. Also that Secretary Olney's
friends have large interests i'll Cuba
which depend on the tyranny of Spain
over Cuba to secure. This is what our
Presidents long dreary sentences mean.
He thought, however, that some time in
the underlined future, conditions might
arise when it would be the policy of the
United States to interfere to stop the
slaughter and destruction. That time
appeared year ago, but Mr.. Cleveland
has not yet been able to see it, and never
will.
The President refers at some length to
financial matters and reflects his old plan
of lettering our finances by destroying
the greenbacks and loading four hundred
millions more of debt on the country.
But every speech and document given the
public by our fat President shows such
profound ignorance of financial affairs,
that no one in or out of Congress pays
any attention to his recommendations.
Cleveland possesses the Bourbon char
aeteristic to superlative degree, stubborn
ignorance.
