He BENEFITED humanity.

There is an oriental story of two
brothers, Ashmed and Omar. Both
wished to perform a deed whose mem
DRY should not fail, but which might
sound their name and praises. Omar,
with wedge and rope, lifted an obelisk
on its base. carving its form in beautiful
devices and sculpturing many a strange
inscription on its sides. He set it in
the desert to cope with its gales. Ash
med, with deeper wisdom and truer
though sadder heart, digged well to
cheer the sandy waste and planted about
IL tall date palms, to make cool shade
for the thirsty pilgrim and to shake
down fruits for his hunger.-Jewish
Messenger.

Mar.hmaIIow Cake..

When making cookies roll out some
of the dough thin and cut with a
acknowledged cutter in size about
four inches between its long opposite
points. Place marshmallow in the
center and fold the two opposite long
points over it and press them together.
In baking, the marshmallows swell and
round the joined dough, which will be
left like the handle of tiny Nat basket
when the cooling marshmallow con-
tracts.--Leisnre Hours.

AT the battle of Bennington the Berk-

as a common soldier, side by side with
his fellow-countrymen. Knowing this
good mans natural aversion to violence
and bloodshed some one said to him aft

"They say you fought at Bennington.
MIR. Allen. Is it true?'

became every patriot to do his duty"
"Well, but Mr.. Allen, "said the parish
Toner, did you kill anybody"
NO" replied the courageous, but
conscientious clergyman; don't know
that | killed anybody; but happened to
notice a frequent flash from behind
certain bush, and every time | saw
that flash one of our men fell. took
aim al the bush and fired. don't know
that | killed anybody, but | put out

Hawaiian Annexation.

The president next takes up the subject OF
the annexation OF Hawaii which, he says, should
be accomplished. Rapidly reviewing his former
arguments in favor of annexation, he says that
legislation is required in the event OF the ratih-
cation OF the treaty and. while abrupt assimila-
tions OF immature elements of population should
be avoided Just provision should be made for
self-rule in local matters with the largest po-
litieal liberty to the Hawaiians-

Turning to foreign affairs, the president de-

the most important problem with which our

former outbreaks, the president comes down to
the present instruction speaking of its re-
markabe increase, its tenacious existence
against enormous forces ma iSel by Spain the
widespread destruction OF property and the
dis egard OF the civilized code OF
war on both sides. He says these conditions
give rise to gravest apprehensions. There is
no desire on our part to profit by SPANS mis-

THE WHITE FLY.
4 Deadly Enemy To The Orange

Tree.
In June, James A. Harris wrote
to the city council of Ocala, call
ing their attention to the pres
ence of the White Fly in Ocala.
He says this pest is the worst
enemy the ORANGE has and Ocala
owes it to herself as we'll as the
rest OF the state to stamp out
this destructive insect. With
bis letter, was enclosed one from
a. j. Pittigrew, d Manatee nur-
seryman, who makes the follow
ing interesting statement re-
sarding the White Fly. We re-
produce the letter:
Manatee, June 15.-James A.
Harris, Dear Sir. I have re-
Gently heard that the White Fly
(Alerhordes Citr) is plentiful at
Panasoffkee and | am sure they
are more plentiful at every place
where they were before the freeze
and at many new places.
They gained rapidly here and
[ made strong fight and kept
them out Of my nursery until
last year, | gave up the fight and
got start of the Brown Fungus
and put away my nursery trees
and now my nursery trees are
slightly supplied with the Fungus
and some Of them very well sup
piled and by the middle of July
it will be on about all of them.
Now l wish you would write to
me and tell me of all the places
you know of where there is any
Why Fly and give me as many
addresses as you can, SO I can
write to the parties. I have
enough trees if they were proper
ly distributed to finely start the
Fungus in every place where
there is any White Fly in Flori-
da and if that was done, we
would be rid of the Flies in two
years. If you have the Flies
among your trees let me sell you
some trees with the Fungus.
Now if you are so discoura ged
that you are unable to believe in
the Brown Fungus, 1 want you
to write to A. E. Stebbins of this
place or H. j. Weber at Eustis,
Fla, or G.. H. Foster, or come
here an, ee what a good crop of
oranges aIe now on groves that
have not borne any oranges for
four years on account of the
White Fly.
There is plenty of evidence
now obtainable to convince any
one that the Brown Fungus is
able to destroy them. [ will with
pleasure answer any inquiries to
the best of my ability.
Yours truly,
A. J. PETTIGREW.
This is a serious question to our
orange growers and one that
needs prompt attention and
sure preventative. The writer
has noted the ravages of the
White Fly on his trees and the
uselessness of ordinary spraying.
