The craze for Photography has led 70
many strange uses Of . pictured face.
The latest Is to have dinner or
luncheon cards decorated with a tiny
photograph Of the hostess. Sometimes
these photographs are simply pasted
on the card. but oftener they are re-
produced in half tones. a somewhat
expensive process. though after the
first cost Of the cut the actual printing
is not much. One clever girl who has
made a great success of amateur pho
Biography made some very pretty menu
cards not long ago. She first induced
. sister to take a tiny portrait Of her,
which she developed and printed in
the regular way. Then she cut out
the photograph. using a delicate oval
outline as a margin. and afterward
covered the finishing line with a fine
tracery of pen and ink work. The re-
suit resembled q fine half tone with
a border of etching, and the effect was
so satisfactory and charming that she
has since filled many an order for her
friends.

spondent inclosed . specimen Of this
beetle with the twig. with the informa-
oon that 1t had been taken from the
latter by himself. 1t seems from his
letter that this apple tree primer has
cut on the trunk Of q number Of trees
this summer in young orchard set out
BY Mr.. Stuve last spring In bingham
county, leaving in each case only iv-
ing stub one or two feet high. 1t works
IN similar manner upon the twiss and
smaller branches of the oak. As 1t is
this year unusually abundant, it has
probably been in most cases the agent
Of very general killing of the terminal
twigs Of the oak everywhere through
out the state, so common as frequently
to attract the attention Of ordinary
travellers by rail. The beetle pushes
an egg into the axil Of a leaf. and the
young grub when it matches burrows
hence into the center OF the twig or
branch. 1t continues its downward
course in the branch or trunk Of the
young tree until about half grown.

the branch SO nearly OF that it is
presently broken from the tree by the
wind or by accident. In the fallen
branch the grub continues to feed.
changing to the beetle within its bur-
row, sometimes in fall and sometimes
not until spring. In this adult cOndi-
ton it is said to escape usually during
the month of June. 1t will be seen
from the above account that at this
season Of year the insect Is to be found
chiefly in the severed branches, and
that it may be destroyed by gathering
and burning them. l should say, how
ever. that it infests the oak much more
extensively than the apple. and that
consequently no destruction of the in
sects found in the orchard will COM
pletely protect the trees from subse-
