HE BROWN TAIL MOTH.

Poisonous Pest of Massachusetts
Towns.
Many residents of Sonerville have
been afflicted recently with a strange
disease, which baffled the physicians,
and for which no one could offer an eX-
PLANTATION, says the Boston Transcript.
They seemed to have been victims Of
ivy poisoning, the hands and arms red
dening and swelling, but they had not
touched any ivy. 1t is now definitely
known that the trouble all came from
the presence of that new pest, the
brown-tail moth.
This discovery was made by the en-
ployes of the gypsy moth committee,
who. to their sorrow, have found that to
touch a brown tail moth is equiva-
lent to taking a dose of poison. When
the employees of the committee began
their annual work of turning burlaps
to see how many pupa had Sc
creted themselves Hereunder, they
found in the places contiguous
to Somerville a number of pupa
of the brown-tailcd moth Grown
careless by the innocent nature of the
ocneria dispar, they plucked them off
and destroyed them. Then the trouble
began, and loud are the complaints of
the men with poisoned hands and arms.
The moths are now handled gingerly
The center of the gypsy moth pesti-
lence has moved from the Malden-Med
ford district, where it originally devel-
oped, to the Saugus woods. 1t is esti-
mated that the committee men are
slaughtering lOO, 900 daily.

WANTS THE EARTH.

New Territory.

Russia Constantly Hcochfng out for
New Territory.
In his paper, the Sviet, the Russian
general Komaroff publishes an article
which contains the following remark
able passage. says the London News.
"The east. with all its countries, as
China, Persia, Beluchistap and even In
dia, is by the will of Providence des-
tined for the Russian people. Sooner
or later the east will be ours. In or
der. however. to attain this object we
must guard our positions in the west,
and must be strong there. too. All our
efforts must be directed there, all our
thoughts and talents. There we must
show themselves genuine Russians. We
must thwart the German intrigues and
German tricks emanating from Ber-
lin, and have n sharp eye to our real
foes. If we retreat in the west, we
lose everything in the east. Now in
the west a matter comes to decision
which is for us of vital Importance,
namely. the question of the Dosphorus
and the Dardanelles. The straits must
by all means come into our possession
for the sake of securing peace in the
south. and for the sake of our own de-
velopment-nay, even existence. In
the straits we must be as strong as on
the Vistula and in the Baltic. Inpreserv-
ing for ourselves the west we must
above all be Slavs, and we must keep
alive the consciousness of relationship
in all the people of Slavonic nationality
IN IN the a driotic those DpcDie beirer
our real prop and support in the
struggle against the greatest foe of our
nation, namely, Germanism."

NIuSkinEunI Club.

Muskingum Club was entertained
Saturday, August 18th, at the Dana
farm. by Miss Dana and Miss Hubbell.
Tae weather was perfect, and the
transportation by the Sonoma was en-
tirely satisfactory. The dinner was
eaten, and the exercises of the club
held upon the lawn. Many Of the
clubs friends from Beverly and vicin-
ity were present. Altogether it was
one of the most delightful days the
club has had. Miss Corinne Stowe
recited the poem Barbara Fritchie
quite effectively. Miss Laura Devol
read a short article in the Outlook,
presumably by Dr. Lyman Abbott upon
"Frankness SIS with Friends. The writer
took the ground that duty, both to
friend and self, required always that
the truth be spoken courageously and
frankly. No other course is right or
safe. Prof. Cham berlain, discussing
the subject, said the same could be
said of our relations to every body.
But he thought the expediency of ad-
v'sing our friend was always open to
Question. We may not know his cir
cumstances and abilities so well as we
may think. The liability of being mis-
understood beyond explanation is very
great. 1t is often wisest to say II can
not advise yor". C. P. Dynr read a
paper in which he endeavored to show
that the lower wages of woman work
ers was in harmony with the Cost of
Production" theory of prices. The cost
of producing la Dor is the laborers liv-
ing. Women can live on less than men;
women workers have less non-workers
to support They require less wages
than men aud so receive them. The
ubject was discussed by Mrs. Wood,
Prof Chamberlain, S. S. Stowe, Mr..
Wittlig and Prof. Cooper. Raymond
Rech, answering the query as to the
number of stars and stripes in our flag
and their object, gave quite history
of the subject. "A vote of thanks was
returned TO Misses Dana and Hubbell
for the eujo oyable day the club had.

LINCOLN AND THE DANDY.

Famous President.

a IetnIn1Scence OF the
Famous President.
In some gossip from the national
capitol Henry L. Stoddard says:
Among the applicants for foreign
missions in Washington recently was
a New England man attired so fault
lessly that he might have served for
a fashion plate. He reminded the vet
eran Tom Donaldson OF story told of
an Ohio dandy whom President Lin
coin appointed as consul to a South
American country. a wag met the
new appointee on his way to the white
house to thank the president. He was
dressed in the most e&travagant style.
The wag Mortified him by telling him
that the country to which he was as
signed was noted chiefly for the bugs
that abounded there and made life un-
bearable. They'll bore hole clean
through you before a week has
passed. was the comforting assur-
rance of the wag as they parted at the
white house steps. The new consul
approached Lincoln with disappoint-
ment clearly written all over his face.
Instead of joyously thanking the pres
ident, he told him the wag's story of
the bugs. L am informed, Mr.. Presi-
dent he said, that the place is full of
vermin and that they'll eat me up in a
weeks time Well, young man. re-
piled Lincoln, if that's true all I've got
to say is that they will leave a mighty
good suit of clothes behind"

EVA PLANTATION.


Manager Lowrey, of Eva plantation.
says that the first quartz of the new
year has closed with good results. The
various fields OF cane have prospered
and the mill has caused little or no
trouble. The mill is kept running
night and day. ABOUT li3 ,ons of sugar
is being turned out every twenty-four
hours or little over $50 tons week
\ single lleld of 1876 acres of sugar
cane at Eva, recently yielded over
eleven tons of sugar % the acre. Such
a yield is unprecedented in these is
lands and probably elsewhere. The
soil on Eva plantation is exceptionally
fertile, being decomposed volcanic ash
and four large cinder cones in that
district. a liberal use of fertilizers
has also been made
With the opening of 1000 of new
land. and the new wells and pumps.
300O0.00O gallons OF water will daily
he pumped upon the fields of this
plantation. Editor 5. T.. Bishop. of the
Friend, figures that this is much more
than is distributed to the city of Chi
cago, and some OF it lifted to great
er height.
Since the remarkable dividend Of
80 1-3 per cent was declared on Ewa
stock last year, the one hundred and
ninety odd shareholders in that plan
tation are wondering how much will
be declared this year. Already per
cent has been paid.

APPRECIATES THE BOYS


that the Government cared very little
or nothing for the militia. The Presi-
dent immediately intcrposed and said
that he could not understand how such
an idea could be prevalent and enter
tanned by the militiamcn.
One of the volunteer captains, in
summing up the situation, said TO the
President: "The paramount grievance
which the military men have to make
is this: The population being small
there is but limited material for the
military organization. That material
is now being drawn from largely by
the Citizens Guard, Sharpshooters and
Mounted Reserve. While all these or
CARNATIONS are well organized, still,
with the exception of the Mounted Re
serve, no drills are held the year
round. The military boys give up
tfty-two evenings in a year for this
purpose, besides turning out at all
parades and battalion drills. Now if
the Government believes that the mil
tia is a good thing they should make
some practical demonstration of the
fact"
1t was suggested to the President
that the Government make it known
to employees that they are wanted to
join some one of the four organiza-
tions, the military preferred. The
Sharpshooters and Mounted Reserve
viii regulate themselves, as to be elig-
ible to membership in the first conf
pany one must be a good shot and in
the second must own horse. 1t be-
ing narrowed down to the military
and Citizens Guard the committee
suggested that the Government re-
strict all Government employees under
40 years of age becoming allied with
the Citizens Guard.
President Dole seemed to be favor
ably impressed with this proposition.
He gavet he committee to thoroughly
understand that the Government
thought a great deal of the militia
and that it would use every endeavor
to foster its growth.
The kicking in the military is over
for the time being at least. President
Dole and the members of his Cabinet
will certainly take up the matter and
the results of their deliberations will
be made known to the committee or
military headquarters.

to work a hardship on those who live

Up to noon today only siXty-two vot-
ers had registered in this city. This

Henry Davis has issued warning
that some who are qualified to. vote
will surely lose the chance if they do

is expected that the registration will
not be nearly so heavy this year as

linquent tax payers. One of the first
requirements is that a man show his
tax receipt for 1896. That is consid-
cred good evidence that he is good
citizen and loyal supporter of the
Government. Without his tax receipt
it is useless for man to apply for
registration.
