SEELEY DANCER ARRESTED
Cora Routt is Charged With Stealing
a Silver Soup Tureen.

New York, June Tt was a soup
tureen that got Cora Routt, dancer of
Seeley dinner fame, into jail tOday.FiVe
weeks ago Miss ROutt went to live in
the back parlOr of the first floor at the
La Grange hotel, at No. III West Thir-
ty-fOurth street. Her neighbOr on the
same floor in the front parlor was Mile.
Troja, a singer.
Mile. Troja soon began to miss bits
of bric-a- bTac and articles of toilet from
her ROOM and told the hOusekeeper, Miss
Jeanette Sweeney, about it. No trace
could be found of the things. A week
ago Miss ROutt left the hotel-left also
a board bill of $50, left also one large
square iron bound trunk. She went to
live at No. POI West Twenty-seventh
street. But she wanted the square iron
bound trunk, and asked Isaac Marks,
a lawyer, to get it for her.
The laWyeS got a writ of replevin and
went to the La Grange hotel. There he
found Miss Routt, Miss Sweeney, Geo.
La Grange, Jr., proprietor of the hotel,
and Detectives CaddeH and Walsh of
the West Thirtieth street police station.
The hotel people were looking for other
property besides that which had eilsap-
peared from the front parlor. The de-
tectives insisted on Miss ROutt's big
trunk being opened, and when it was
the first thing taken from it was a sill
yer tureen.
The hotel people swore it was their
property, and Miss ROutt was arrested
charged with the larceny of silverware
valued at $40. The detectives say they
found towels in the trunk bearing the
name of a. Chicago hotel.

unknown to the South American en-
tOmOlogists until its sudden appearance
a few years ago. It is about twice the
size of the far famed and much dreaded
Rocky mountain locust and has a cor
respondingly big appetite.
Professor Burners plan of campaign
will be to spend the first season in
studying the life, habits and pecuIiari-
ties of the locust When he finds out
what the natural enemies of the pest
are, he will endeavor to encourage
them, thus enIisting native allies On
his side. He is to have an abundance of
means at his disposal for his expert
ments, and if he succeeds will probably
be richly rewarded for his work.
st am inclined to believe" said Pro-
fessor Bruner just before his departure,
''that the methods employed in the
western states can be successfully used
in South America, although they may
have to be varied radically to suit the
changed conditions. Birds are the most
active natural enemy which the locust
has, and they should not be killed with
in the afflicted district. The common
meadow lark, it has been discovered,
eats as many as so hoppers at a meal.
''There are other enemies of the locust
which, while not so large, are very eff
fective. In the west we have success
fully combated the locust by the Guilt
walton of a small flesh fly, commonly
known as the hopper killer. This fly is
a parasite of the hoppers, and when a
swarm attacks an army of hoppers it is
astonishing to see the larger insects
fall. The havoc which these little flies
make among the locusts is remarkable.
Another weapon which has proved
very effective is the growth of fungus
mole. This is about the only natural
disease which disturbs the life of the
locust, and it is to it what the bu-
bonic plague is to the inhabitants of In
dia. 1 have known it to destroy count
less millions of hoppers in one season.
It can be cultivated and thrown on the
leaves of plants in the infected districts.
am taking a large supply of this fun
gus with me and expect it will have the
same effect on the South American To-
Gusts as it did on those in the west -
Professor Bruner admits that if the
climate is very dry in Argentine and
Uruguay neither of these methods
may prove successful, for even he
will not be at an end of his resources.
He has several other plans and will en-
deavor to first kill the eggs which have
been deposited. If he fails to do this,
he will attack the locusts while they
are young. 1t may be a long siege, for
the pest has a strong foothOld in the
country, but Professor Bruner will do
his best. S. @. SCHENCK

period of attendance is always deter
mined by the queen. They serve two at
a time, and, during attendance, which
is usually four weeks, they reside at
court. During this time they must
be in readiness to obey her majesty
commands, sent by the equerry. Now
that so few state entertainments are
given their duties are light. The queen
has really two ives-one her court life
at Windsor, the other her private life
ut Balmoral and Osborne.
The maids of honor in turn attend her
at all the state ceremoniaIs and bear
her company in her retirement. They
drive with the queen, read to her, sing
to her, play to her, or converse, as she
determines, using their special accom-
plishments for her pleasure. A clear
and beautiful handwriting is a neces-
sity, for they have many letters to write
and copy; they must be good horse
women, and, of all things, good mu-
sicians. The queen is fond of music
and an excellent pianist herself, and
so is Princess Beatrice, who often makes
demands upon her mothers ladies for
companions in riding and in reading
duets. There are eight maids of honor.
There is one extra maid of honor,
Hon. Constance II. Kerr. These ladies
belong to a department of the household
of which the mistress of the robes is
the head. Her principal Office is to
look over and pass the queens per-
sonal bills for dress, toilet, bric-a-brac,
etc She enjoys precedence over every
lady at court. When in residence or
on a visit she Presides at the royal
household table. This office is now held
by the duchess of Chicago
Inter Ocean.

The most costly rugs in the world
come from Persia. The beautiful soft
ness and peculiar sheen of these rugs
are due to the constant treading of bare
feet. The rugs are made of goats hair
and wool combined. All oriental rugs
are hand made and each piece of wool
inserted is tied twice. Years of labor
are involved in making some of the
largest of these floor coverings, but
they never wear out When rug is
made it has to be subjected to years of
foot wear before it becomes at all valu-
able. Many of the Persian rugs now in
use have been walked on more than
100 years and are still as new as ever.

no advance could be made, and the prop

later it was sold, and came into the

grapes are feeding and blood purifying;

skins. Juicy fruits give more or less
the higher nerve or brain, and some few
muscle food and waste; no heat.
Apples supply the higher nerve and
muscle food, but do not give stay.
Prunes afford the highest nerve or brain
food, supply heat and waste, but are not
muscle feeding. They should be avoided
by those who suffer from the liver.
Oranges are refreshing and feeding, but
are not good if the liver is out of order.
Green figs are excellent food. Dried
figs contain nerve and muscle food, heat
and waste, but are bad for the liver.
The great majority of small fresh
seed fruits are laxative. All stone fruits
are considered to be injurious for those
who suffer from the liver, and should
be used cautiously. Lemons and tOma-
toes should not be used daily in cold
weather; they have thinning and cool

proportion to their quality.
