ROSE BUGS.

BY their numbers and their indiffer-
ence to ordinary measures, the rose
bugs seem to inquire stolidly, "What
will you do about itf' What indeed!
The gardener looks dubiousandc onsults
his encyclopaedia. He finds that rose
bugs have been known In this country
for the last fifty years; the eggs are
laid in the ground, and the worms
larvae retire during the winter below
the reach of frost, coming up to the
surface in the spring to undergo their
transformation. The beetle on emery
ing with wings makes Its way to the
nearest rose bush, where. in the COM
many of its kind, 1t is soon Graded in
the opening roses, repeating the canker
of last year.
Clearly, If we would take the defen-
sive-offensive now is the time, and we
must be quick about il. J. In order tc
secure the survival of what is fittest
ID our estimation, it is necessary to lend
q hand promptly. This Is not case for
poisons. So, while the bushes are
hoary with morning dew, and the bee
ties wings heavy with dampness, go
through the rose garden here shaking
off bug or two into a ready pan, there
cutting away half-eaten bud or flower
crowded with the beetles; then, with
the aid of shaviEgs, the gathered
myriads are speedily consigned to a
fiery holocaust. Not very agreeable
process, to say the least, but extreme
measures are sometimes necessary IL
we would enjoy the beauty and frag-
rance of the summer roses, and one
seasons patience and thoroughness at
the proper time (as soon as possible
after the beetles make their appear
ance, and before the eggs are laid for
next seasons beetles), will probably
keep the flower garden free from the
pests for several years to come.-Home

New Torpedo Boats

Bids for building number of torpe-
do boats authorized by the last session
of congress, were opened at the navy
department Friday in the presence Of
a large number OF interested parties.
The act made provision for three thir-
ty-knot boats and as many more small
er boats, not to exceed ten, as could
be obtained for the sum of $500, 600.
In all eleven firms submitted propo-
sails, but, Notwithstanding the fact that
congress had specially provided for
favorable consideration of bids from
the gulf coast, the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, valleys, not single proposal
came from either section of the coun-
try. The northwest coast, however,
was well represented. The bidding
was very complicated, owing to the
fact that many of the bidders made
combination proposals of from one to
three boats, the greatest number that
can be allotted to any one builder.
Some of the proposals were based on
the departments plans, and one, which
failed of consideration because of lack
of bond, was for an electrically-pro-
PEELED craft. For these reasons it will
require much consideration by the de-
partment experts to pick ont the low
est and most desirable bids, and mean
while it is not possible to indicate ac-
curately in all cases the lowest bids.
The department will proceed at once
to consider the bids, for under the act
of congress awards must be made not
later than Oct. 9Th next.

The houses burned were valued at 3d.

Despite the presence OF troops and
the unusual quietness of the streets,
there is a very uneasy feeling prevalent,
it being asserted that there are 500
Winchester rifles in the hands Of the
strikers, whose repeated threats against
the military are recalled with alarm.
1t is the general belief, however, that
there viii be no further trouble, unless

SENSATION IN ROME.
Natural Son OF Ex-Premier Crispl
Charged with Theft.

The charge of the theft of jewelry
brought against Signor Luigi Crispi, a
lawyer and q natural son of the former
premier of Italy, is creating a sensation
in Rome. 1t appears that the lawyer
had an intrigue with the Countess Gel
lare, and had a latch key to her house.
In April, 1895, jewelry valued at about
10000 lire (S6OO0) was stolen from the
apartments of tho countess, and sus.
picion pointed to the lawyer. But the
police refused to prosecute him, and
he afterward threatened to bring legal
proceedings against the countess, claim
ing that she had simulated the rob-
berry. The charge against young
Crispi is now revived, and is being iu-
yestigated. 1t is alleged that a polit.
ical friend of the ex-premier, when
the charges we're first brought against
the lawyer. offered to recoup the
countess for her losses, admitting that
young Crispi was kleptomaniac. The
accused lawyer is now at Buenos
Ayres.

Fair oaks Wood.

Messrs. Editors: We have contracted
to plant over 500 acres Of fruit this
year. This land had to be all cleared
Of wood and prepared for the same.
By reason of so doing, we have on hand
between 5000 and 1000 cords of wood,
said to be, by those who have seen it
and are judges, the best wood ever cut
IN that vicinity. We realize that we
must sell this wood at a sacrifice in or
der to set rid of it. About one-half is
live oak and half four-foot wood. The
live oak is scattered through the white
oak, a purchaser getting about an equal
portion of both.
We take this means of informing the
public Of the fact that we are going to
offer this wood at prices never before
offered in this city and will deliver ir
to any place in the city in quantities OF
two cords or more at the price of IS 50
per cord for stove wood This includes
white and live oak mixed; So 60 per
cord for four-foot wood Those who
wish to purchase must deposit the
money with us as we cannot afford, at
this low price, to send out collectors.
Leave your orders and deposits at our
office and we viii have it delivered at
once to you. Respectfully yours,

THE QUEENS SECRET.
How Victoria Has Retained Her Won
derful Health and Strength.

derful Health and Strength
''Have you ever heard of Queen Victo~
ria's secret?"
1t was a well-knewn New York physi-
clan who recently asked the preceding
question, in the Course of conversation
at his club. None of the company had
ever heard about it, and they pressed him
for an explanation. He then related the
following remarkable story:
1T is a Well-knoWn fact" he said that
the Queen of Great Britain is one of the
most wonderful old ladies in existence Al
though she is nearly 80 years of age she is
to-day, as bright and active as many a
woman of 40. And why do you suppose it
is? l will tell you, for l obtained the in
formation from reliable sources 1t is be-
cause her majesty never allows a day to
pass by without taking a little pure malt
whisky. She takes this Strengthenines
stimulant by the advice of her physicians,
among whom are some of the greatest
the Queen is so full of life and energy in
spite of her advanced years.
Th1S is an intereSting~Stor and it clearly
proves that scientific men are correct i'm
telling US that nothing compares with a
pure malt Stimulant for building m
by no means common, or more people
would reap the benefit of taking such a
preparation. In fact there is only one
pure medicinal whisky in existence which
is entirely free from injurious adultera-
ton. 1t is known as Duffy's uure 1naIt
whisky, and thousands of men and women
nave testified to the wonderful benefit re-
celved from taking it.
Nothing has ever equaled it for stirring
up the blood, promoting digestion and in.
Vlgofatlng the body. For this reason, no
inferior limitations should be accented
from grocers or druggists who attempt To
substitute something which they claim 10
Just as good" as Duffy's.
