Trent menl Of Insect Pests.

The first thing for orchardists to I'M
derstand in dealing with insect pests is
that there are but three ways OF killing
them: First, if they are OF species that
bite with mouths in eating, like human
beings, they can be poisoned by any sub
stance which would kill man. In prac-
tice paris green is in most cases sound
cheapest and most convenient, but
any poison which the pest tan be got to
eat will do the work. Second, any insect
with soft body can he destroyed by the
touch of any caustC substance, like
kerosene, lime, or anything else which
will injure the human flesh when applied
to it. There are many of the CaustiC
solutions in use, the object always being
to get a cheap mixture, which shall be
sufficiently Caustic 10 kill and which
shall be so compounded that it will re-
main on the tree and do its work. Often
other ingredients are added for special
purposes, but so far as dealing with in
Stlks 10 IbllbfIlttl II 10 lIit NduSlit NllhN
does the work. The lime, sulphur and
salt mixture is a spray OF this kind. I'm
fortunately, however, most OF the caustic
substances, il applied in much strength,
will kill vegetable life rs well. We ali
know that pure Kerosene will kill any
tree. 1t is therefore necessary, if
possible, to SO compound the caustic with
other substances that, while insect life is
killed, the plant shall not be harmed.
The common kerosene emulsion is an ex
ample of this kind. The kerosene in the
emulsion does the killing. Third, some
OF the insect pests are covered with scales
SO hard that no caustic application will
kill them unless made strong enough to
also kill the tree or plant. The red and
purple scale insects are examples of this
class. These can often only be success.
fully treated by poisoning them with
gas, which they inhale through the
breathing pores in their bodies, just rs II
man is killed by inhsling common illu-
minating gas. Any poisonous gas which
is not too heavy to rise and fill the tent
with which the tree must be covered will
answer this purpose, but in practice
hydrocyanic acid gas is found most con-
venient and cheapest. The above is
merely general outline OF the principles
involved. There are many notifications
in application, but the general fact re-
mains that injurious insects are only
killed by the touch OF caustic substances
or by poison administered either through
their digestive or their breathing APP

Roofing slips.

A sure and simple way for the amateur
to root slips is by the saucer system.
Take q deep saucer, or other vessel
without drslnsge-hoIes, and fill with
clean river sand. Soak the sand thor
oughly, and plant the cuttings al inch
deep. The saucer should then he placed
in bright, sunny place, and watered
when necessary to keep the sand wet In
very short time the cuttings will take
root, and then should be removed by
loosenng the sand and pulling them out
by the stem. Re.pot in rich loan and
shade for short time.
Cuttings should always he of wel-rip-
ened wood, two or three inches in length,
and severed Just below leaf i)int.
Break them from the parent stem instead

edges take root much better.

The Human Life Line.

Starting from the base of the big toe
there is distinct line. This is the life
line. In one foot it will curve along
until 1t terminates under the instep far
toward the lower base OF the little toe.
This means long life. Ii broken in the
hollow of the foot it denotes sickness at
middle age, and if it terminates in the
hollow Of the foot it means short life.
This line is the most interesting one on
the foot. The experiments that have
been conducted lately have proved this
to be an almost unfailing reading of lon
geyitv.

Enclosed arc lamps are coming into
vogue and seem likely to dispace the
open arc lamps now in use, since expert
ment proves the closed lamp to afford a
greater amount OF light from the same
amount OF electrical energy. The gases
resulting from the combustion of the car
bons being kept imprisoned, there is a
great saving in the number of carbons
used. Other advantages are cleanliness
from the inability of insects to penetrate
the lamp, absence of danger OF fire from
falling pieces of incandescent carbon,
less height, greater simplicity, and, last
but not least" claimed saving OF nine
teen-twentieths in the cost of carbons
and nine tenths Of the cost Of attendance.
But its first cost appears to be greater
than that Of the open lamp.

Important Racing Decision.

The court of appeals OF the state of New
York has decided that horse race is
neither n lottery, forbidden by the penal
code. nor gambling, within the meaning
of the constitution, and that recording a
bet at race track is not misiemesnor.
This releases racing from the blackmail
Of the poolroom gamblers, and from the
persecution of misguided fanatics, and
places this grand sport on the level where
it belongs. The New York Evening sun.
in commenting on the decision Just rem
dered, says:
The future OF honest and remunera.
tive racing is now in the hands OF the
governing body, and If it lives up to its
responsibilities, the sport will enjoy a
wholesome popularity it has never known
before. The last mesh of the net in
which the blackmailers and, throug h
their scheming, some ill-advised fanatics
have tried to ensnare the Jockey Club
has been cut away, and nothing but
loose management and winking at dis
honest practices can cloud over the pros
