QUEENS BIRTHDAY.
Observed by British Schools and
University Club at New York.

NEW YORK, May 24.-The Queens
birthday was appropriately observed
by the British school and University
clubs by a banquet at the Holland
House. The principal speech of the
evening was delivered by Whitelaw
Reid
Speaking of the proposed Anglo
American alliance, Mr.. Reid said it
was no new inspiration, born of any
sudden emergency, but that the fore
most statesmen, men of letters, men
of business and publicists on both sides
of the water had long given it utter
ance. He indorsed the words of the
late Gladstone, who spoke a dozen
years ago of an absolutely good un-
derstanding between England and the
United States as a prospect at once
majestic. inspiring and consolatory."
The Right Rev. Bishop Potter, D. D.,
confined his remarks to few anecdotes
relating to the queen.
President Patton of Princeton Uni
versity, spoke at length on what the
universities of America owe to those
Iof England.

One Hundred Thousand GrateIuK
Soldiers.
These war times nay tried mems
souls in many unexpected ways, u
like a shaft OF sunshine and good cheer
out of the cloud Of p~rivation and en-
durance has been the work that The
American Tobacco Co. has done among
the u. S. Soldiers and Sailors ever since
the war began-for when they discov-
cred hat the camps and hospitals were
not supplied with tobacco they decided
TO provide them, free of cost, win
enough for every man, and have al
ready given outright to our Soldiers
and Sailors over one hundred thousand
pounds of Battle AK Plug ana
Dukes Mixture Smoking Tobacco,
and have bought and distributed ffty
thousand briar wood pipes, at a total
cost of between fifty and sixty thou-
sand dollars.
This work has been done quietly ana
thoroughly. by establishing h%eadquar-
tiers in each camp. so that every camp
and every hospital Of the United. States
Army has been supplied with enough
tobacco for every man and the sailors

Douglass mixture is composed of one

says Farm and Fireside. 1t is recon-
mended as a tonic for fowls, but is
really a poison, and while its use once
a week may do no harm, the practice
of using it as a regular tonic will re-
suit in the destruction of the flock.
The free sulphuric acid (oil of vitrioD

fowl Is no exception. In experiments
made, in which a teaspoOnful of the
mixture was added to a gallon oil

cotton fabrics. Proportionately
wooden goods are being used every
year, and 1t is but natural that the Is
land Empire should adapt herself to
the fleeces Of wool-bearing animals In
preference to cotton, as all other civil
lied nations are doing today. The de-
velopment Of the wooden industry IN
Japan will result in opening new mar
kets to the growing manufacturing in
~terests of the United States. Germany,
Great Britain and other manufacturing
nations Of the Old World are practi-
cally supplying the demands of the Far
East in the importations of wearing
apparel, and the industrial growth OF
Japan, as well as of India, China and
other countries, will have a tendency
to stimulate the export trade OF the
United States rather than depress 1t.

Gypsy Moth in Dakota.

Mr.. M. e. Hinkley of Marcus, Iowa.
the able editor of the Fruitman, says:
while in the Black Hills recently
the editor was informed that the Clip
sy Moth has appeared there. A. Nc
Kirahan of Rockford was out in the
forests last summer in company with
an entomologist connected with the
Lincoln University. The Lincoln gen.
tleman discovered and identified the
Gypsy Moth. Patches of dead timber
are now pointed out as proof of it's
vas If this conclusion is correct
there is reason for the apprehension
that the Dakota forests are doomed.
The matter is SO important that it
seems to demand thorough expert in
vestigation at once"
Commenting or this the Iowa State
Register says: This is very impor-
tant if it proves true. We regard the
Gypsy Moth as an enemy far more to
be feared than the San Jose scale.
In the vicinity of Boston it has caused
great damage in recent years, and
thousands of dollars of private ant
state money have been spent in Grad
icating the pest. Any yoracious Leaf
| feeder that attacks tall trees is MOI
easy to reach by spraying. In thu
great Northwest the destruction of oul
forest trees in native groves, plante.
groves and windbreaks would be a sal
calamity. In Europe this insect ha!
wrought the most damage in the drie'
interior sections, where the condition.
were more favorable for it's rapid pro
