TO WAR ON LOCUSTS.
PROFESSOR LAWRENCE BRUNER'S
MISSION TO SOUTH AMERICA.

The GrasshOPper Expert of Nebraska Uni
versity to Conduct Lively Crusade
Against the Pests Which Have Been
Devastating Argentine and Uruguay.
The Argentine Republic and Uruguay
have declared war on the grasshOpper,
and Professor Lawrence Bruner of the
University of Nebraska has gone down
there to take command of their agricul-
tural forces during the coming cam
paign. 1t is going to be a war to the
death.
For the past eight or nine years both
countries have suffered almost untold
damage from the invasion of great
hordes of green grasshoppers or locusts.
They have destroyed crops at. an alarm
ing rate and threaten to devastate the
entire country. Last year the pest in
creased in numbers and was more de-
structive than ever before. The disaster
was so great that public action was de-
manded by the farmers in the ravaged
districts. Several wealthy men in Bue-
nos Ayres and Uruguay organized a
commission, but they had accomplished
little or nothing when United States
Consul Bancroft was applied to for
help. He suggested that some of our ex-
pert entomologists who had successfully
combated the grasshOppers when they
threatened to ruin the agricultural pros
poets of Kansas, Nebraska and the Da-
kotas from 1878 to 1878 be employed.
The consul recommended Professor Bru-
ner, and the commission lost no time in
acting upon his advice.
Professor Bruner is now on his way
to BUenos Ayres toESngage in mortal
combat with the locust of the Argentine.
It is much larger and more ferocious
insect than he has ever tackled before,
and he is not entirely confident of the
outcome of the struggle. Still, he in
tends to win or die in the last ditch.
1t is estimated that the locusts have
eaten in the Argentine alone more than
20, 900, 900 bushels of wheat annually,
and the crop is decreasing each season. In
Uruguay the situation is even more dis
couraging. The locusts have not only eat
en- all the vegetable and grain crops, but
they have devoured all the green grass,
SO that there is not even pasturage for the
focks of sheep which constitute so much
of the wealth of the country. In some
provinces the only green thing which
can be seen is the alfalfa, which for
some reason they do not seem to relish.
The locust which does all this mis-
chief is OF peculiar species which was

Mad for the Cemple1ion.

For certain diseases the mud bath
is an old form of treatment, but new
application is being made of it by the
woman of fashion. It is claimed that
there is nothing equal to mud for the
complexion. The face and neck are
covered with a coating of clear black
river or swamp mud, which is permitted
to dry on. Care must be taken not to
get it into the eyes and not to leave any
spot of the skin uncovered, as it will
result in red blotch. When the coat is
removed, it is claimed that the skin viii
be far softer than it is possible from
any of the weII-knovn preparations;
all blemishes will be removed, includ-
ing hair and mOles; and wrinkles will
disappear.

RoYAL MAIDS OF HONOR.
"A Popular Order Just Issued by the
Czarfna of Russia.

"A Popular Order just Issued by the
Czartna of Russia.
The young czarina is about to in
crease the number of her maids of
honor and of those who attend upon the
grand duchess of her court. This is a
measure that meets with enthusiastic
approval, for the post of maid of honor
to any one of the imperial princesses
and more especially the empress-is
most eagerly sought after by the noble
families of Russia. This measure does
not please Princess Kotchoubey, who is
the most important lady at the court of
Russia. She is the high Priestess of all
matters of etiquette, and is exceeding
1y conservative.
From time out of date it has been the
privilege of the royal ladies of Russia
to receive personal attendance and serv-
ice from high-born damsels, the unmar-
ried daughters of nobleInen and belted
knights. From the middle ages to the
present time it seems an understood
thing that their imperial mistresses
should find for them husbands of noble
birth and fortune, should dover them
handsomely if their parents are unable
to do so, bestow upon them costly mar
Iiage gifts, be present either in per-
son or by representative at their we'd
ding ceremonies and stand as sponsors
to their irst-born children. Thus, there
are many reasons why the post of maid
of honor is eagerly desired by all the
daughters of the Russian aristocracy,
md why the czarina's new determine
ton to add to their number delights her
subjects.
In England many privileges accrue
from this position. Formerly the maids
of honor were chosen for their youth
and beauty-"the highest in rank and
the fairest;" but Queen Victoria selects
her ladies for their companionable quail
tiles, for their accomplishments, and
from motives of personal affection. On
being appointed they receive and enjoy
for life the title of honorable" a sal
airy of 81, 500 year, and the gift of S., 900
when they are married. The latter sum
is, however, not given to a maid of honor
unless she has held her appointment for
q certain number of years.
The maids of honor are in waiting
three or four times a year, and their
