New Memorial window mt Princeton.


New Memorial Window mt Princeton.
From the Baltimore Sun.
A beautiful stained-glass window has
been placed in Marquand Chapel, Princeton
University, as a memorial to the late Ho-
ratio Whitrdge Garrett by the family.
Mr.. Garrett while student at the uni
versity, was greatly beloved by both fac
ulty and students. Shortly after his mar
Rage he went abroad, and died in England
In October. 1885, He was a son of the late
L. Harrison Garrett.
The subject of the window is the "Glorifi-
cation and Triumph of the Incarnation >"
The window is divided into three panels
each Of which contains a figure of heroic
size. In the center is st. John, arrayed in
the garments Of the priesthood and holding
In his hand chalice. His eyes are up
lifted and his attitude Is that of PRAYER
Inc background shows cherubim and SER
aphim. The dominant idea is to give the
spiritual side of the theme
The right figure Is that Of Gabriel. The
archangel Is clothed in an alb. with q
crossed stole He holds in one hand lily
ana IN the other scroll bearing the words
Hail. thou that art highly favored" This
Is intended to embody the idea of purity
The third Is st. Michael, clothed in armor
ana bearing in one hand a sword and In the
other the banner of the cross This SYM
bolizes strength. Behind ths two archangeIs
are angelic figures with musical irstru-
ments, forming an effective background to
the archangels wings, which reach in
graceful curves nearly to the top of the
Panels
The window is 20 feet high by Is feet
wide. 1t contains over 5000 pieces of
favrile glass;

Ing that the farmers alone. by organization

Efforts have already been mads in Mary
land to kill on the San Jose scales but
with little success. Being suctorial in their
habits. their food cannot easily be poison
ed. and other means must be sought. The
direct application Of such remedies as ker-
osene or its emulsion has been tried, as has
fumigation with hydrocyanic acid. 1t has
been discovered however, that these agents
DO great damage to the plants as well as
to the Insects, and, as all the insects are
not killed. the experiment is not worth the
risk. as those which are left alive propa-
gate very fast. and the scales are soon as
numerous ever.
1t has been discovered in California,
where the pest f1ourishes. that the small
Australian beetle. OF lady bug. Is An enemy
of the San Jose scale. and several orchards
into which the lady bugs have been intro
duced have soon been cleared Of the in
sects. The state Is now raising the lady
bugs and sending them throughout the va
rious counties where there are infected
orchards.
The director Of the agricultural expert
ment station of Florida claims to have dis
covered a fungus which can be applied to
trees. and which will extermiuate the San
jose scales, but this has not yet had q test
which proves its real value.

Suyyanee Spring.

Florida Letter in Philadelphia Ledger.
A short distance down the peninsula and
below Jasper is Suwanee Spring. 1t forms
one Of the principal feeders of the river
and Is well-known favorite winter re-
sort. 1t is some distance from the railroad
station, and tourists are taken thither in
an ancient 'dinky'' street car and thei..
baggage on fiat open car linked behind
Both are drawn by a venerable but vicious
looking mule, and the wisdom of the own
ers of both the vehicle and the mule is
exhibited by the length of the traces,
which are sufficient to allow the animal to
kick freely without battering down the
dasher. should the within seize it to. make
the attempt.
Suwanee Spring. like many of the other
large bodies of so-called springs i'm Florida
Is nothing more or less than the coming to
the surface of a considerable sized under
ground river. and, like many of these
springs, that at Suwanee is supposed to
possess valuable medicinal qualities, par
ticularly for diseases which affect the kid
neys and bladder.
The large springs of Florida are among
its greatest curiosities, and many of them
are wonderful for their beauty and varied
features. Almost invariably they are clear
as crystal and very deep, some as much as
eighty feet. Many, like Suwanee and Green
Cove springs, are heavily charged with sui
phur, and others, like those at Homasassa,
with sulphur. iron and magnesa. The
waters are almost invariably warm.
Besides the Suwanee Spring there ara
others In the near vicinity, one a few miles
below, called High Springs, and still
third close beside the railroad tracks at
Juiiette This one is quite large and of
suGh remarkable limpidness that from the

BIRDS PROTECT FRUIT.

Prof. Scott Believes They Can Rid Us
OF San Jose Scale Pest.
From the Baltimore Sum-
strong plea for the protection of native
Maryland birds Ia made by Prof Martin p.
Scott Of thu Maryland Agricultural College
who believes that If the birds were not
ruthlessly shot. but were fed during the
winter to induce them to return in certain
neighborhoods. there would bs a marked
decrease to the damage which has been
done to the orchards of the state during
the past few years by worms, bugs and
other parasites.
DR.. Scott has given much attention to the
subject and he believes that birds will do
much to check the ravages of the San Jose
scale, which has been introduced In Mary
land from California, and for the extermi-
nation of which an appropriation for two
successive years Is asked of the general
assembly. The professors opinion is based
Upon the fact that he has watched care
fully the habits Of certain insectivorous

cred race which he believes could thus be
enlisted In mans service he mentions the
crows, blackbirds. Jays, orioles. larks.
sparrows, tanagers, swallows. warblers,
thrushes, wrens, robins, fy-catchers and
others.

THE PRICE OF SHOES.
Why IL 1t So Low Compared With the
Cost Of Producing Themf
From the Shoe and Leather Reporter.

Cost of Producing Themf
From the Shoe and Leather Reporter.
The problem we find the most difficult to
wrestle with is: What can be the reason
why shoes are so low compared with the
cost Of producing them, and why does not
leather bring enough to yield any profit
On the labor of manufacturing it, at the
lowest rates at which hides can be bought
All this would be readily comprehensive
II 1t were true that the stocks of shoes
were excessive but the weight of evidence
supports the proposition that such is not
the case. That there will be shoes enough
to accommodate the demand may be taken
Tor granted. There are extensive factories
In which to make them and ample material
to make them Of But that there will be
SO many more than enough as to render
the production Of than unremunerative
as 1t Is now for any great length of time,
we consider highly improbable. We enter
tain the belief that the surplus holdings
OF vendors and consumers are essentially
reduced. that they have been using up their
reserves to such an extent that they will
require additional supplies in sufficient
quantities to establish values which will
admft of satisfactory profits to producers.
Our conviction in this respect is strength
ened by the undisputed fact that dealers
are almost all asking that the shoes they
have bought or ara buying should be dis
patched to them with the least possible de-
lay: The natural inference is that they
withheld their orders as loEg as they could,
and longer than they have been accustom-
ed to; that they are accordingly running
short, and find it necessary to repleuish
quickly. This applies, of course chiefly to
shoes that are worn by the masses and
sold at low figures, but of thes. there are
vast quantities consumed, and when the
stocks of them in second and third hands
fall below the average, a great many are
needed to make up the deficiency. espe-
ctally at a time OF the year when the want
OF shoes is most pressing. OF the more ex-
pensive KINDS. Of which fewer ara worn,
prices are less, and perhaps. not at all in
adequate. But we have the idea that the
rates alike Of the low and the high-pric I'D
will be equally adjusted presently, to the
advantages equally of sellers and buyers. .
